About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!

“Alexis did an amazing job watching Gunner and Luna! She kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. The dogs clearly had a great time and were happy and well cared for when we got back. We truly appreciate her attention and communication, and we look forward to working with Alexis again!”
“Sarah and her family are great! Very nice people and I could immediately tell upon meeting them that my puppy would be in good hands while i was on vacation. Sarah sent me pictures and videos of him and how he was doing the whole time and we couldn't be happier with how she took care of him! Would highly recommend and would book again 100%”

“Jessica is amazing as usual! ☺️ Always feels nice to get away with knowing my fur babies will be taken care of. So happy that Lenny is coming around too! 🐱 Thank you!!”
“Natalie did a great job of taking care of our cats. I would not hesitate to use her in the future. She took the time to play with them and gave them lots of pets. Thanks Natalie!”
“This is our second time using Stephanie to care for our cats, and I have nothing but good things to say. She's always on time and cares for them like they're her own. Stephanie goes above and beyond to make sure everything is done, cats are fed/medicated, and everyone gets their pets while mom and dad are away. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“I had such a great experience with Anna. She took care of my dogs for an hour a day for three days right after one of them had surgery, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support during that time. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and clearly very loving with them. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially with my dog recovering. It was clear they were in good hands and being well cared for. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up a mess my dog made 2 of her visits, which I really appreciated and didn’t expect. That level of care and thoughtfulness meant a lot. Overall, I genuinely really liked her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and kind to care for their pets.”
About: I have had cats my whole life, and am very familiar with caring for cats of all kinds - including cats who need to warm up to me. I’m happy to take care of cats, bunny, playing, cuddling, cleaning, litter boxes, or administering topical medication or pills.
“Kara is quick to respond, attentive and very professional! She took the time to meet lemmy before coming to check in on him while I was away. I loved receiving pics and updates on how he was doing!”
“Christy was amazing. You can tell she really cares for your furbabies and she did a great job! I highly recommend Christy and we look forward to using her services in future bookings.”
“Kiah took wonderful care of our fur-babies. Our cats are high maintenance and extremely spoiled. She spent time getting to know them and earning their trust. We were able to relax because we knew they were in good hands. We’ll definitely use Kiah in the future and highly recommend her.”
“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”
“Outstanding service which includes comprehensive description of on-site visit to include pictures and descriptions of any problems which arose. Also, understood and executed all directions and guidance provided. I would have a hard time going to someone else.”
“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”
About: I have been around and taken care of cats since the day I was born!! I have helped raise and sit many friends and family kitties:) For years I have taken care of the stray cats outside of my neighborhood and let them stay in my house when it was cold. I love cats and I would love to help take care of yours !
About: I have lifelong experience caring for cats of all temperaments, including shy, anxious, and rescue cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the space they need to feel secure. I’ve also worked with cats who needed extra patience and assistance building trust, so I understand how to approach each cat based on their personality.
“I am a first-time customer with Rover.com. I submitted a request for a petsitter to watch my cats while I was out of state. For six days (including Labor Day weekend), Sarah M. took excellent care of my “Little Ones”. During all ten visits, she went the extra mile and cleaned up the occasional fur balls (yuck🤢) and small-scale disasters my cats made. My cats took a liking to her and that doesn’t usually happen. That means there’s something special about Sarah M. She is thorough, meticulous, kind, considerate, and professional. I’ll gladly ask her to watch my pets again! Thank you, Sarah! You’re a godsend!!😊💯👍🏾”

“Katlyn has been great with Honey. She is great with providing updates and photos. Her home provides a very calm and soothing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend for shy dogs like my Honey.”
About: I don't have a ton of experience with pet-sitting, but I LOVE animals. My two cats are my life, and I always do what I can to ensure they are happy in their forever home. I've always grown up with animals in my home, so adding some more fur-rends (please laugh) temporarily is always welcome. My days are usually very open, since I just graduated high school. I'm mostly doing this as a summer gig, since I'll be off to college come August. I have a fenced yard and two cats! They are very shy around other animals/people, but are in general very friendly. The yard is huge, with a ton of space for an animal to run around and play.
“Jenny is amazing. Made me feel at ease from the first meet through the first week of daycare. She is flexible and helped me with all the transitions of a new sitter while starting a new job. Dog daycare was the least of my worries thanks to Jenny. Jaxx got everything he needed while I worked. Definitely recommend Jenny.”
“Kelly was so nice and obviously loved having our puppy for the day! Her confidence and calm demeanor put me at ease for our first puppy sitting experience. We will be booking with Kelly in the future!”

About: I couldn’t imagine life without dogs. I’ve grown up with a dog or two my entire life and they are truly family, and treated as so. I’ve cared for my own, in addition to family, friends and neighbors animals as well. I’ve dealt with puppies all the way to senior dogs, giving medications and special care.

About: My husband and I just moved to York and I am in between jobs, looking for some extra money and love! My family dog, Kasper, passed away about two years ago and was central family member for about 17 years. He was one of the best things to happen to our family and he taught me how passionate I am about animals/dogs. Being an elderly dog, he went through many medical challenges so I am very familiar with special diets, medicines, routines, and extra special care. I go above-and-beyond to make sure the dogs I care for feel loved and safe. I have also watched the dogs of family members and friends and have volunteered to walk dogs at the local facility, Doggie Style. I have experience with dogs weighing anywhere from 13 lbs to 85 lbs. I know life can be busy so I'd love to make your dogs feel safe and loved when you can't be home! Also love to get a walk in during the day! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is wide open to dog sit!! I love the extra company while I’m at home and I also love getting out of the house for visits! I’m happy to come to you or to host doggy daycare at my townhouse! We have 4 rooms, a backyard, and a nice neighborhood to walk in with a dog park.
“My dog Ireland warmed up to Kellyann when I dropped her off today. Ireland.has never been in a home setting before for daycare. Kellyann kept me informed throughout the day with updates and pics of Ireland. This really helped me to feel secure about my "baby girl" staying there.I would highly recommend contacting Kellyann to take care of your pet!!”

“Stephanie is very flexible and detailed, she is also very down to earth & easy to chat about my pets needs and such. She took great care of the dog and even good with my guinea pigs. I recommend and will be rebooking.”
About: My family got our dog when I was 6 and have had cats my whole life. I've always been in love with taking care of animals. I've taken care of family and friends dogs and cats while they were away on vacation and have lots of experience. I also have my own pup who’s 7 months old and a 4 year old cat.

“If you missed my 6 star review, after Natalie’s last visit with the pups I would raise it to seven stars! We made a very last minute change to our itinerary and she was able to accommodate us. As always she takes great care of our pups and leaves the house immaculate. Lots of communication, check ins and pictures. It is wonderful to have found someone who is so responsible. I almost hate to have to share her. You can’t go wrong having her take of your pets!”
About: Experienced with cats, dogs, and reptiles. I live a healthy/active lifestyle and work remotely from home. Friends and relatives across the country regularly have me travel to their homes to care for their animals. Aside from taking care of myself I have been taking care of my cat and ball python for the last 8 years! Previously I lived with two large dogs and was responsible for their feeding and walks while my roommate was at work :) I work from home so I will be around all day or, alternatively, can work from your home. My job does not usually require me to be at my desk consistently so I’m able to take breaks to go on walks or play. I have a large porch that the animals can go out on (if you are comfortable with that). I have a guest bedroom/art room in case they prefer some personal space.
“Christy is fantastic to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She is friendly and professional. She is very loving with our dog and we know he is always in great hands with her!”
“This was Ruby’s first time being walked by someone other than a family member- so she was a little nervous! But Ronny made a nervous momma and pup feel at ease right away. He greeted Ruby with a smile and happy puppy talk. Clearly she enjoyed the walk as she’s passed out at my feet!”
About: I have experience in both senior dog/cat care, aswell as raising and training puppies ! I have had 4 dogs throughout my life. My dog Marty, who passed recently, was 18 years old. I was able to care, watch, and love him throughout his senior years , which built strength within helping care for senior dogs. Also, every one of my dogs was adopted as a puppy, which helped me gain experience in training, and taking care of puppies, as well as dogs of any age! I have pet sat for neighbors and family members countless of times, including cats, dogs, bunnies, and even lizards! With my schedule, I am available anytime after 11 am for drop ins and walks! I absolutely love working and caring for any type of animal and would love to help care for yours :) I work at a school so for right now I have tons of free time because of the summer months ! I’m free any time or day :) I do not accept dogs at my house just yet, but will be soon ! As for now, with pet care at a clients house, if allowing, I am more than willing to help clean any messes from the animals, and casual cleaning around the areas of the house I am in during my stay/visit! All I ask is for a set of guidelines on your dogs routine and assure that your pet and environment will be well cared for :)
About: Hello everyone! My name is Emma and I have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I grew up around mostly cats and dogs, and have gained valuable experience handling, caring for, and interacting with them. I have a cat of my own currently and I’ll be sure to care for your pets as if they were my own kitty at home, and that means they’ll get the best care as possible as my cat is my best friend, so this means I am especially great with cats! I look forward to meeting with all you future pet owners! I currently have a wide open schedule. I live home alone and don’t have many things to worry about, so my cat takes up more of my time than anything else. So cats are indeed my specialty! At home I make sure my cat has a clean litter box, filled food and water bowls, and a clean environment overall to live in.
About: Since I was a kid, I've always had cats and dogs. I also grew up caring for horses, goats, and barn cats in exchange for horseback lessons. Currently, I have a cat and a senior dog whom I love with all my heart. I promise to treat your animals with the same diligence, attentiveness, and care. I am extremely reliable and follow directions thoroughly. I am physically fit and able to walk dogs for long distances with ease. I can also jog with dogs or play fetch with them if you'd like more exercise for your pet. Balance is important in life -- I am happy to help you out! I look forward to giving your pets the best care imaginable. I have nearly full availability for pet sitting for the next few months. I am available weekdays and most weekends, with some exceptions. I can take on long-term house sitting if needed, up to 1 week. I am able-bodied and able to walk or sometimes jog with dogs. If your dog prefers catch or tug-of-war, I am happy to play with them. Exercise is important for cats, too. My own cat is silly and only likes to play in very specific ways, but still, I try my best to play with him and provide the enrichment he deserves. I will try my best to get to know your animal and learn how they like to play. I am also willing to brush animals, crate them, and provide medicine. I am very respectful upon entering homes -- I always take off my shoes to ensure cleanliness. If I am staying overnight, I promise to treat your home with respect and boundaries.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’ve also had my own dog for 6 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday, which makes me fully available on weekends for pet care. I can provide walks and drop-in visits on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with flexible timing. I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the weekend so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner to ensure consistency and comfort. I supervise pets at all times during visits and outdoor time, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: I bring over 30 years of personal and professional experience working with and loving animals. I have worked and volunteered at several organizations (York SPCA, Hershey Zoo America, and Animal Rescue) since 1998. In those roles, I have cleaned kennels, walked and cared for dogs, played and cared with cats, and provided education of North American animals at the zoo. I love all animals especially seniors and I am comfortable with all size dogs. In fact, I have one pit bull and a turtle. I have fostered 4 pitties. Growing up, I lived on a small farmette and we had lots of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, a horse and an iguana. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to meet your schedule and the needs of your fur babies.
About: Hi my name is Samantha im 27 years old and I would love to take care of your pet. I can walk, feed, brush, bathe, and play with your pet. I have a dog myself and her name is noodle we adopted her from the spca in 2017. She is a 6 year old chihuahua-dachshund mix I enjoy taking care of her even though bath time is a workout. I've always wanted to take care of a dog even though its a big responsibly. I will keep your pet safe and calm and go slow with them when they are scared or shy. No squirrels will be caught or chased in the making. (I don't smoke and have transportation) Animals can predict a schedule so i am regularly at your house for your pet they will get used to me being there at a certain time. Every time my dog goes outside she is on a leash and so will your pet. When its time for bed my dog sleeps in her crate/bed i can do that to for your pet.
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.
About: They say grief is love with no place to go, so since my senior Belgian Malinois passed away, I've been fostering dogs and would like to get into dog walking. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I have pet-sat for family and friends as well. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am generally available during daylight hours Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and 5 PM or later Tuesday and Thursday. Before or at the start of our first walk, I'd like to get to know your dog's preferences, triggers, and typical walking habits and routes. I suggest treats for positive reinforcement if working on socialization and a slip lead to reduce pulling. A safe, enjoyable outing is my priority for your dog.
About: I’ve had a heart for animals since I was young, and have owned both cats and dogs - ranging from low-energy Pugs to high-energy Boxers - for the majority of my life. My pet care experience mostly includes sitting for friends and family members, and caring for my own dog, a 6-year old Mini Poodle mix. I’ve taken care of senior animals with a variety of health conditions, and have no problem providing medications from pills to eye drops. I also have some experience working with reactive dogs, as my dog deals with reactivity issues. Through a 6-session training course we completed with a professional trainer in the summer of 2025, I’ve learned techniques to improve behavior on walks, as well as a long list of enrichment activities to help your high-energy pups burn energy throughout the day. The best days for me to care for your pet in Lancaster or York are Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. If requested, I may be able to accommodate services in Lancaster on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I thrive on routines and like to keep somewhat of a normal routine for my dog. This includes feedings, giving medications, multiple walks, and enrichment activities (in or outside, depending on weather). My dog has anxiety and spring/summer are the most difficult for her, so I keep on music or background sounds while in the house, and make sure she is always on a leash when outside. I am willing and open to following any routines you have for your pet, however, I am not comfortable with electric fences or shock collars. I always have my phone easily accessible and am a quick communicator, so I can provide pictures, texts, or calls as requested if you’d like to check up on your fur baby.

About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!
