“Josie and family were amazing! My dog had a great time, especially since he got to play with other dogs. I felt very comfortable with Josie and would definitely use her again!”
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
“We left Iris, our choc lab, with Pam and Mike for 2 weeks while we traveled on the west coast. They sent daily pics of her romping in the yard with their dogs and playing in the dog pool. There is a big fenced in yard and a couple of mini horses in the area adjacent. She had a Great time and we will definitely call them again if we travel out of state.”
“Our fourth stay with this family. Best home. Very responsible, excellent communication. Very clean. My furry lady loves coming here. 10 stars! Thank you, we will be back!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful! She sent daily photos and updates of our dog, Penny, making sure to let us know if any concerns came up. She also made sure that Penny felt comfortable and safe since she was nervous when we dropped her off. We'll definitely book with Elizabeth again!”
“Vasumathy was an excellent choice for our puppy. She started us with a meet and greet which was a great idea. She sent us daily updates and videos. She made us feel at ease when we had to leave our lab for four days. We would definitely use her again.”
“Michelle did a fantastic job with my pup. She followed all my little tips for feeding her, went on walks, made sure my dog wasn’t anxious, and made my pup feel at home. Michelle also sent pics of my pup, was very flexible for drill-off and pick-up times, and was very communicative! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Kerrie was GREAT! She was so engaged and responsive, and treated my pup just like the rest of her family. I appreciated her specific questions around care and all of the pictures and updates she sent to me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality sitter. 5 stars.”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I had my reservations. I was more than pleased with my pet sitter. David was professional, communicative, punctual and very brave to take on my three beasts for a whole weekend. Not only did he care for them better than I do, I was able to leave them having the peace of mind that they were being well cared for in a loving home. David provided regular updates with how they were doing, but not too many to not enjoy my weekend of freedom! I would recommend David to anyone looking for a sitter. 10 out of 10 experience.”
“Jack and Carrie are hands down our favorite Rover sitters. Mack absolutely loves staying with them. They have been wonderful the past few years while we are visiting our Dickinson athlete! They communicate well and love him like their own!”
“Super easy to drop off and pickup. She shared photos and videos throughout the stay. Also, she was extremely accommodating when we needed to keep extending the number of days. And our dog had a blast. It was like a doggie vacation for her.”
“Michaela is very friendly to deal with. She took good care of our pup, and she was communicative about how he was doing and also about any changes in her schedule. She is close by for us, so I'm sure we'll take our dog to her again.”
“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Deanna was an amazing dog boarder. She was extremely responsive to all communications and flexible in accommodating any changes. Spencer and Mia had a blast and settled right into a safe, welcoming, and loving home. Deanna sent copious amounts of picture and video updates. Deanna will absolutely be first on my list of boarders if we return to Lewisburg.”
“I think I found our go-to dog sitter! My lab Winnie was in great hands with Ryan while I was traveling for work. I received frequent photo updates and could tell my pup really made herself at home. I love how Ryan has kids, lives near a park and works from home - a great combo for peace of mind. Ryan is the first person I'll 'call' next time I need dog care. :)”
“Jodi and Bruce treated our fur baby like one of the family, exactly what we were hoping for in finding a home away from home for her. She looks forward to a return stay, and we'll be confident leaving her in their care.”
“Lorrie was a wonderful person to pick for my active, loud mouthed goldendoodle. She sent pictures and updates throughout our vacation and took great care of her. I was very grateful to her and will definitely try to use her again!”

“Kim was exceptional to work with! She went above expectations to make my old pup happy and me not stress as much. She gave meds, let Molly do what she does best and stayed connected with me.

About: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies from Wilson College. I was a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare for a few years. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at an Animal Clinic. I enjoy taking care of animals and providing the best care. I work full time during the week, but I am available weekends and can provide pet care during the evenings after work depending on location. Depending on the needs of the animal, I will provide the proper care as per the owners request. I like to know specific details to make everyone feel comfortable.
About: While getting my associates in Veterinary Science I have had the opportunity to work in shelters, boarding facilities, rescues, animal hospitals, clinics, and more with cats. I have worked with cats with various health issues as well and understand their particular needs. Some of these include diabetic cats, cats with broken bones or other physical injuries with or without casts/splints, obesity, stomatitis (or other dental issues), elderly cats, and more. My passion is animals and I cannot wait to meet your fur babies!
About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.
About: I will welcome your pet to its home away from home, showing them the attention and love they require as if they were with you. There isnt anything im not willing to try to ensure your best friend feels as comfortable and continues with their daily schedule the best of my ability- special walking requests (time, amount, distance, frequency), special dietary needs or medication administration, etc. Will allow on furniture and provide any "treats" that you request. But will also ensure that no pets on furniture, no people food, no treats, etc if thats what you desire as well. Either way, you give me the word and ill be more than happy to continue the same care your pet receives at home, no questions asked! If you're looking for a home away from home for your pet, youve found the right person and home! I look forward to hearing from you and mostly meeting the love of your life and continuing the same care they receive at home. I am currently a stay at home homemaker so this allows me to practically be with your pet family member 24 hrs a day which allows us to get to know each other quickly and ensues your furry family member is spoiled with my time. I currently live in a quiet neighborhood which allows me to keep a close eye on your furry family member at all times. Most of the time I get a sidekick with me immediately!! I ensure during potty breaks and walks that I familiarize myself with your pets needs, likes, and dislikes (eg. Other animals).
“Ashley took great care in looking after our cat while we were gone for the weekend. She has been super easy to connect with, reliable, and easy to talk to, keeping me updated frequently. She shared some photos of her time here as well, its always nice to see your pets being loved while you aren't there to do it. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone too care for their pets.”

About: I am a full time stay at home mom and am excited to care for your fur babies. I have been a pet sitter for over 15 years and have experience with all kinds of domestic pets as well as farm pets. Please send me a message if you have special requests or have more than one pet. I am very accommodating to your fur babies. I am very skilled with giving medicine to dogs and cats as I have to do this with my babies. I am also able to follow your feeding instructions if you raw feed your pet. We do not have a fenced in yard (yet) so your pet will be leash walked on our 5 acre land. We also have tethering, all pets are supervised at all times. I have 3 toddlers who may accompany me when visiting or taking care of your pet. If your pet is not child friendly, I may be able to work around this. I am a full time stay at home mom and am able to add your fur baby into the mix and adjust to your schedule. 🐾 Special Note on Unneutered Dogs: If you have an intact male, please reach out prior to booking as my rate for unfixed dogs is twice my standard base rate. Because my own neutered male is reactive to unneutered males, hosting an intact dog requires intensive behavioral management. I implement a strict, highly secure rotation system to ensure the dogs are never in the same space, alongside extra cleanup measures for marking behavior. Thank you for helping me keep my home safe and organized! I have a large property and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby occupied. I can easily crate your pet if need be. I am skilled with administration of medications.
About: Hello! Justin and I have both had all types of pets our entire lives. Dogs, cats, birds, fish and even a few reptiles! Justin is the son of a veterinarian and has had experience with many types of animals. Our daughters have never not shared a home with a furry best friend and are both nurturing animal lovers. We currently share our home with a very lovable hound mix pup (Finn) that we adopted from a local rescue at 4 months old. We also adopted an adult rescue kitty (Lewis) in the spring of 2022. Lewis and Finn are best buddies! Finn’s mission in life is to befriend everyone he meets, especially dogs!! He’d love to be your pups BFF while staying in our home. We have a gated deck that leads to a fenced in pup play area to safely and leisurely enjoy the fresh air and sunshine on nice days. We enjoy taking frequent walks in our very low traffic rural neighborhood. Our family would love to provide your pup with a loving, safe retreat while you enjoy a guilt free getaway knowing your best friend is being well taken care of and treated like part of the family. Caring for pets is my full time job so I can accommodate your pups needs and give him lots of attention throughout the day and night. I am the primary care giver and Justin fills in when I need to run an errand or have an appointment. Our home is very puppy proofed because our doggy can be mischievous. Our kitty has full run of the lower level of our home but he does come up and interact with everyone.
“Elizabeth was very responsive to my last minute request for daycare. I could tell Biscuit had a nice time and loved Elizabeth! I appreciated the pictures especially since this was my time using Rover, and Elizabeth. Super convenient!”
“This was the first time using Josie as a sitter. I was nervous about leaving Charli with someone that I had never met before. However, after reading her other reviews my worries lessened. Josie kept me posted throughout the day with notes and pictures which also lessened the anxiety. I hope to be using Josie as a sitter again in the near future.”
“Deanna was great! She sat for Georgie all day while we had graduation and celebration dinner. She and her adorable girls played with Georgie all day, gave her dinner and made her feel ? loved. Thank you so much!!”
“Sowmya and her family are absolutely amazing! Millie is always so happy and excited to go to their home, and she comes back just as happy. They are wonderful with communication and always respond to messages very promptly. They have been so helpful and accommodating whenever we’ve needed them to watch Millie, even on short notice. We feel completely comfortable leaving her with them and truly appreciate the love and care they give her. Highly recommend them! ❤️🐾”
“So thankful to find Ryan and Michelle. They are super nice and we’re so kind to care for our standard poodle for a day while we had to rent a U-Haul and pick up some things at my mother’s house three hours away. It was great to know we left him in good hands! We hope they will take Kobi again!”
“Heinz had SO much fun with Angela and her family! Angela was great to watch him last minute and we were so happy that she did! He is still all puppy, with lots of playful energy, and he was exhausted after a fun day with Angela! So much so he fell asleep on the way home. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for doggie sitting needs!”
“David is very patient and caring, great petsitter for your dog, He listens to your detailed instructions for doggie daycare and I'm sure for boarding as well. My Jovie got lots of exercise in fenced in backyard and very nice neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your dog during the day and evening. I had no worries leaving him at his house, sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date on everything.”
“We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!”
“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries. In every single photo she sent they looked so happy. She was patient and kind. Shes super chill and easy to talk to / book with and she always offering a solution to fit my needs for a sitter no matter how last minute. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who needs their pups watched!!”
About: I've taken care of little to medium dogs. I love to play if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. I like for us to get as much fresh air if possible. Love going on long walks along the water and hang out on the porch. I work from home so I'm able to be around and spend time, sometimes do extra walks if I have time in between clients. My partner is home after 5pm and on weekends. He walks them in the evening or we both do and he does the feeding and bathroom in the am. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out by 9pm again. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. She is very friendly with other dogs and when she has energy will play. In between working I will hang out on my porch with my furbuddies. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park and I've had other dogs be ok with that. If not we go on scenic walks and spend extra time outside if its nice.

About: I have cared for animals and have had animals in my life since I was 2 years old, whether it be dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc. I'm currently working close to full-time hours, so I will be willing to walk and care for your pet after my shift is over! I have a retractable leash and poop bags to clean up messes, so I will be very capable of making sure your dog gets a good walk!
“Kat is AMAZING! She got back to me immediately and was so kind about my dog mom anxieties. She sent pictures and videos and gave my dogs so much attention! They already love her and we’ll definitely be using her again!!!”
About: I live in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania. I worked in a Boarding and Grooming Facility for the last 2 years, so I have experience with all breeds and personalities, senior pets and puppies/kittens. I do not believe that there is an aggressive breed. I am efficient in administering medicines properly, including insulin and other injectible medicines. I currently have 7 dogs and 7 cats. (I have a diabetic cat with kidney failure, so I have experience with difficult medical conditions.) I've had dogs and cats for 8+ years. I live on a farm so I'm always on the go. I love playing fetch or tug of war, going for walks or anything else active, but I also enjoy lounging on the couch with my pets as well. My favorite breed is the Labrador Retriever, but I love all the other breeds as well!
About: I run a music teaching business as well as am a commercial pilot and flight instructor. I grew up with dogs my whole life (all golden retrievers) and I do a lot of pet sitting on the side for student's families. One of my own students told me about this app, so I figured it would be an awesome tool to earn extra cash to offset the cost of living, while getting to spend time with my favorite four-legged friends :) During the stay I will be using your home as “home base” and will be in and out of your house periodically during the day to care for my other drop-ins/walking clients, but the majority of my time will be dedicated to your fur family. I prefer clients with fenced-in yards or invisible fences for everyone’s safety, and one daily walk is included with every booking! One a final note, I taught my dog to sing (I swear he can match pitch), so if that's something you're interested in as well we can chat :-P **Stays of one night are subject to a minimum charge of two days**

“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“I think I found our go-to dog sitter! My lab Winnie was in great hands with Ryan while I was traveling for work. I received frequent photo updates and could tell my pup really made herself at home. I love how Ryan has kids, lives near a park and works from home - a great combo for peace of mind. Ryan is the first person I'll 'call' next time I need dog care. :)”
“Heather took great care of our almost 13 year old dog. She was thorough in asking questions about Coco's needs and seemed very conscientious about making Coco feel comfortable and safe. It was such a relief to go on vacation knowing our dog was well cared for and we loved getting the photo updates every day. Communication with Heather prior to and during our vacation was excellent. We've already booked with her again.”
“Wow Missy is fantastic, she sent me messages before we took our dog over to make sure we were OK with everything. Made sure to introduce the dogs in a safe and controlled manner. Spent time with us settling our 1st time nerves and then sent updates and pictures the whole time Artemis was there. Our dog had a fantastic time and I think given the choice she would have stayed longer. We will definitely be going back and I will look at dropping her off for day care once a month at least to keep the friendship between the dogs going and make sure Artemis is excited to go over. Your dog will be safe and well cared for here.”
“Carrie took great care of our socially awkward dog. Phoebe and our dog Pebble were best buds for the week and it helped Pebble adjust to a new home. Carrie updated us every day and multiple times a day. This was our first time leaving our dog and the experience gave us the confidence to be able to do it again.”
“I really can't give a complete review because the Kayla's home is on a military base. The family met me off base. They were very nice and when I picked up my dog, she was happy and seemed fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kayla again.”
