“I was very happy with Jaideep and his wife. During the meet and greet, I felt so comfortable. Zara made herself at home immediately. They kept me updated several times a day with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my little girl was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I truly appreciated the communication. I will be using them again. Highly recommended!”
“We needed a last-minute sitter while traveling out of state, since our hotel didn’t allow pets. Steffany and Juan were amazing from start to finish—so kind, professional, and accommodating. They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Our puppy Mocha had the best time playing with their big dogs and came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services!”
“A+ stay. Dana and Jon were very accommodating to myself and my puppy Dak, especially after getting home late due to traffic! We got frequent pictures and updates. It’s very apparent that Dak had a wonderful stay for an extended weekend. will be using again! Thanks !”
“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“Our dogs loved being with Sandra and her family. They took such great care of our fur babies. Kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pics. Was flexible with our drop off and pick up which was super helpful.”
“Thank you for keeping my Bella on such short notice for the Christmas holiday. Bella was happy as ever when she came home and I can tell she enjoyed her time with you!”
“Omg! I could write 10 paragraphs on Angel and her professionalism work. She absolutely is the best so far! Our Bichon poodle loved his boarding stay with Angel. She kept me updated. She sent pics. She messages back in a timely manner. Most importantly she assured me that my pup would be in good hands. I would def recommend Angel to all dog owners. I already booked her again and I promise you this will not be the last!”
“Diba and her roommate were lovely guardians for my pup. They kept me informed while I was away and my dog obviously loved being in their home. I am very grateful to have found them and now have a safe caring environment to board her when needed. Highly recommended!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Michaela made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. It was Lola’s first time meeting her, and she immediately made us both feel welcome. She was very friendly, quick to reply, and kept me updated throughout the night with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lola looked happy and relaxed in every update! I would absolutely book with Michaela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🐾💛”
“We are always glad to have Reese spend time with Bobbi and family. He receives impeccable care with every stay! We are truly blessed to have such a thoughtful caregiver for our Reese!”
“Kathy was terrific, and took great care of my pet. She was personable, reliable and had a clean and pet-friendly home. I highly recommend her and will use her for my future pet care needs.”
“Could not have been happier with Anton. My dog is shy and anxious, and Anton did a great job of both taking care of him and making sure that my dog felt safe and secure enough to socialize. We were provided updates and pictures (which were incredible). Also, when our flight was delayed, Anton was kind enough to watch my dog for a few extra hours. It made a stressful situation much easier to handle. My dog's bedding was even freshly washed when I picked him up. I would highly recommend boarding your pet with Anton. I will definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Gage always enjoys his stays with Pam & Mike! He loves hanging out with the other dogs and he comes home very tired. We can tell he is well cared for while we are away.”
“Bruce just spent the weekend with Vivian and I think he had even more fun than we did! Loved the photos and videos she sent to let us know how things were going. Will certainly book with her again.”
“Jamie was excellent! My dog teddy had such a blast and was very well cared for during the weekend that I was a way. She sent tons of photos showing my boy having a great time. Definitely recommend Jamie and I plan on using her in the future to watch my dog! A++”

About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
About: I’ve cared for my aunt’s two cats, handling feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them attention at their own pace. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level.
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”
About: I have several pets of my own. Over the years I have volunteered with shelters as well as taking care of my own animals. I have dealt with bigger dogs, small dogs, and lots of cats! I love animals and will do whatever I can to ensure a happy and healthy environment! I currently work part time over the summers in Pennsylvania and go to school in Ohio over the rest of the year. I can work in both places, it just depends on what time of year. My account will have my area provided for which one for whichever time of year. Normally I have a 8 hour shift, I do have a couple days off a week and still have plenty of time before and after work to take care of animals. I also have my lunch break. I will follow whatever instructions are provided by the client. I will stick to any dietary needs, exercise needs, and any attention needs the animal has. I am willing to clean litter boxes if it is a cat and obviously I will pick up after a dog on a walk. I keep a very close eye on the animal(s) and make it my primary focus when taking care of them.
About: I am great with all different kinds of dogs or cats! I am also good with medication if needed for the animals. I am also very attentive to animals. I currently do not have a job so I will have a lot of free time for your animals needs! I Usally am a little busy between 12-2 but if needed can push my other stuff back! I am great with dog walking and love taking long walks with animals or just playing with them outside or giving them attention inside also.
“They always take great care of my cats. I feel at easy knowing my babies are safe. My cat made friends with their male cat, and the chocolate lab Padme is so sweet! Will return.”
About: I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing attentive and loving care while their owners were away. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications (if required), walking, playing, and ensuring the dogs' overall well-being. I have a strong understanding of canine behavior, ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. I also make it a priority to follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as dietary needs or special routines. Through my dog sitting experience, I have developed excellent communication skills with both pets and owners, ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday/Friday. My work hours are typically from 6AM until 3:30/4 PM. I can easily care for dogs after work, as well as before if an overnight is requested. I have 2 Golden retrievers myself, so I am used to playing fetch for hours as long as nice walks at the end of the day.
About: IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). I’ve had considerable experience with cats and other pets — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’m now starting to offer pet care as a way to earn money, and I’ll come to your place for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting (so far I’ve done house sitting for friends). I’m a calm, patient person, and cats really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so your cat isn’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy cats the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a cat’s nervous, I’ll speak softly and let them come to me. My schedule is flexible and I can work around your dates, including weekends and holidays. People often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach — it helps my cats feel safe and at ease. I’d love to meet your cat!
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
“I can't recommend Megan highly enough, she's incredibly reliable and trustworthy! My two fur babies, normally very wary of strangers, absolutely love her. She sent thoughtful daily updates and photos while we were away, and replied to messages super quickly! Thank you, Megan, I'm so relieved to have found someone I can truly trust with my fur babies!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was absolutely incredible caring for our 8 cats. She was so professional, respectful, loving, and nurturing of our fur kids and our home. We were deeply impressed and touched by her dedication and kindness to our babies, especially when several of them require medication twice daily. She handled all of them beautifully. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Both of my cats have their quirks and health needs, but Dani was able to ease my worries about leaving them in her care. She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!”
About: Hi my name is Hannah! I love animals more than I love most humans! I have years of experience and references available upon request! I’d love to take care of your furry family for you while you’re away! I work full time from home, so I am rather available quickly and efficiently. Shoot me a message and I can accommodate to your wants and needs. I have a fenced in yard, but I know dogs prefer to stay on their own home so I am open to accommodating whatever they need.
About: Hi, I’m Destiny! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Wildlife Biology, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, welfare, and the importance of providing compassionate, attentive care to every animal I meet. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who loves adventure, a senior dog who needs extra patience, or a pet who simply enjoys a consistent routine and lots of affection, I take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As both an educator and animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I pride myself on creating a safe, positive environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I enjoy spending time outdoors, making walks and adventures fun and engaging, while also respecting the routines and comfort levels that help pets feel at home. ❤️ I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own. My goal is simple: to make your time away stress free while ensuring your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐶🐱 Availability: ✨ 🌅🍃🦋 I’m available for morning walks and drop-ins at anytime and am willing to stay overnight, as well as evenings. Weekends are fully open and flexible for walks, playtime, or overnight care! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and deeply cared for like they’re in their own little sanctuary. I approach each animal with patience and gentleness, allowing them to build trust at their own pace and always honoring their unique personality. I create a calm, nurturing space where they can relax, play, and be themselves, keeping their routines consistent so everything feels familiar and comforting. From cozy rest spots and mindful walks to soft words and loving attention.
About: I have been surrounded by animals since childhood. We had two cats at home, a Maltese, and a shepherd. I love to satisfy the needs of animals and match the requests of their owners. I am attentive, kind and patient with my little, furry brothers and sisters I came from Ukraine, write music and work at part-time job with kids. spending time with animals is like a breath of fresh air in every day for me I give all my love, I make sure that the animal is in moral and physical safety. I care about his complete comfort. I play until the animal is satisfied
About: Hi, my name is Brenda! I have had pets my entire life, and I currently own a Shichon, Golden Doodle and a Shitzu. I have started caring for others in addition to my own! I would love to care for your furry friend! I am very responsible and reliable pet sitter, and will take great care of your pet! I am currently working full-time. After June 5th I will be available during the summer for days and weekends until I go back to work at the school. At that time I will be available evenings and weekends. I will do drop in visit and dog walking as well as taking time to play with your pets. I will always communicate with the owner, whether that be sending them photos of their pets, or just by simply updating them on how things are going via text, or phone call!

He has changed my husky from being shy to my husky not wanting to leave Jaideep's house!!🤣 If you want someone who's attentive and cares about your dog Jaideep is your guy! Highly recommend!!

“Bentley absolutely loves spending time with this amazing family and their sweet dog! After they cared for him for nine days while I was in Florida, I truly started considering them his second family. So when I needed a day trip out of town, there was no question where he was going. It gives me so much peace knowing he’s not just being watched — he’s genuinely loved and having the best time. Highly recommend!”
“Sujeong and Changsun (and Gucci) provided such excellent care for my pup, Jobu. I was traveling for an event and they helped so much. I know he was very well cared for. They shared such cute photos too :)”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Finn seemed to be having a good time every time I got a photo!! Scott was very nice and I felt comfortable leaving Finn with them. Thanks for providing a safe space to stay!!”
“My dog spent 3 days of daycare with Elizabeth and she was more and more excited to get out of the car and run into her house each day. She came home tired after a good day of playing and it was clear she was well taken care of and had fun.”

“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!”
About: We have had pets in our family for over 10 years. Our pets are treated like a part of our family. We take special care to make sure they get plenty of attention. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just playing with them; we give them everything they need Pet care is one of our top priorities as a household. It’s the first thing we take care of in the morning, and the last thing we take care of before we go to sleep. And we are here for them throughout the night if they need us. We make sure they have plenty of food and fresh water. We give them plenty of attention and lots of exercise. Walking our dog more than 3 times a day is not uncommon.
“Casey was absolutely amazing! We were in a last-minute pinch while attending Hersheypark and reached out less than an hour before we needed care for our two dogs. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and loving with our dogs, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Casey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Dan was a great find for a close daycare sitter for our Rooney. He sent a few pictures throughout the day to let us know she was acclimating well in a new place. Given the extra waggy tail and kisses she gave Dan when we were leaving - I know she enjoyed the day. Thanks so much!”
“Laken is extremely flexible and very accommodating and has been extremely welcoming of my my alternatively active and needy/loving rescue pup, Maddie for daycare once a week. Most recently, she has had to board her on short notice while I have been hospitalized…no small feat as Maddie does not warm up easily to strangers and can be mouthy at times. I am eternally thankful for Laken and her family for their help!!”

About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me
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!
“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’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have always had a love for dogs. I currently have two dogs and they’re both rescues. It makes my heart happy to have rescued both of them.

I’m available all day on weekends and holidays, depending on my schedule. I’m able to pet-sit in the client’s home. If you’d prefer I watch your pet at my house, I would have to first introduce them to my two dogs to see if they’re compatible.

About: I've had pets my whole life. Growing up, my family had several dogs and cats amongst other animals. I am a cat mom of 3 (had 4 but lost my guy 3 years ago). And will one day be a doggo mom!! I love animals and believe when you take on the responsibility of owning a pet, that's it for their life. My guys live a fun, spoiled, laidback life and I would do anything for my guys. I unfortunately due to my oldest having diabetes and CHF, am familiar with administrating medication as I had to give insulin and he was on several meds (pills and compounded). I love all animals and will love them like my own. I will send photos/videos of your pet (anytime). Your pet will get my 1000% undivided attention!! I am super excited to watch/take care of your pet!! My schedule is very open currently which means more time for me to love on your pet(s)!! As my schedule changes, I'll do my best to be as accommodating as possible!! My pets are my world and come first. I make sure my pets are taken care of (fed, water, litter box cleaned etc) and put their needs over mine. Put in perspective, I tried dozens of options of foods and such when my oldest was diagnosed with diabetes and gave my all to find answers before he passed. My pets are my children LOL and your pets will get the exact kind of care and love that I provide my guys.
About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.

I want them to feel safe & make you feel at ease about going away.

“Destiny is a genuine and very caring person who LOVES animals. From the moment my dogs met her, they were all over her and she knew exactly how to speak to and handle them. We took them to a nearby dog park where she was very attentive to them, and made sure to be as inquisitive with me as possible to ensure she makes good decisions when handling the poochies. Thank you Destiny for being such a delight!”

“We needed a last-minute sitter while traveling out of state, since our hotel didn’t allow pets. Steffany and Juan were amazing from start to finish—so kind, professional, and accommodating. They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Our puppy Mocha had the best time playing with their big dogs and came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services!”
“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“Our dogs loved being with Sandra and her family. They took such great care of our fur babies. Kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pics. Was flexible with our drop off and pick up which was super helpful.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Michaela made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. It was Lola’s first time meeting her, and she immediately made us both feel welcome. She was very friendly, quick to reply, and kept me updated throughout the night with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lola looked happy and relaxed in every update! I would absolutely book with Michaela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🐾💛”

“Maria cared for my sweet furbaby for 4 days over Thanksgiving. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! She brought my shy girl out of her shell. I received a lot of photos and videos of the fun time she was having with Maria. When Maria learned that Katie’s birthday was during her stay, she had a special chicken treat for her and sent adorable pictures of Katie wearing a cute birthday hat! Such a sweet thing to do. We will definitely use Maria again when we need help. Thanks Maria! You were great”
“Kayla was so communicative and took great care of our 9 year old dog. She sent pictures and kept us in the loop. We will be rebooking with her in the upcoming months! Thank you Kayla!”
“Elizabeth is amazing with my dog Louie. He has been turned down at quite a few places because of his pretty severe anxiety. Elizabeth took her time with him, allowed me to set up a meet and greet an did three separate days with him before my vacation when he would be spending 6 days with her. He did great and Elizabeth kept me updated the entire time. She obviously has experience with all types of behavioral and health needs and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals. I am grateful I found her and Louie has definitely become a regular with her. Now that he is home I can tell how much fun he had while I was away and as an owner of an anxious pitbull, there is no better feeling than knowing that!”
“Heather and her family are the absolute best! We feel totally comfortable when Brady is in her care and can enjoy our vacation to the fullest. She also sends the cutest pics. :) Thank you so much Heather!”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
