About: I’ve been caring for cats, young and old, for over 20 years. I have experience with administering oral and injectable medications. Cats deserve just as much attention and care as dogs! In addition to feedings and litter scooping, I’m also happy to play with your cat and brush them as well. If you need anything more specific, please reach out!
“Isabel did a fantastic job with my cat! She did everything that I asked her to do and more, and I know that Venus thoroughly enjoyed her time with Isabel. I cannot recommend her enough.

When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“Kelsey is the best! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cats for a weekend and Kelsey made it so easy. She communicated with me, sent pictures, and always showed up on time. I will absolutely be re-booking for my next trip:)”
About: I started fostering kittens when I was around 5, I fostered probably over 200 kittens with the local humane league. I used to take my most well behaved orange cat around to schools and do presentations for the humane league about spaying and neutering, and trying to get the kids at the schools to convince their parents to adopt shelter kitties/kittens. I frequently took in kittens that her various coworkers or friends, or my friends found, raised them and found them homes. I've seen every type of cat and always get them to warm up to me quickly. I'm great at taking care of elderly cats, too. I was taking care of my 19 year old baby full time until she recently passed. I'm currently caring for my other 19 year old baby, too. I would love to meet your kitty and find out their favorite place to be scratched, petted, and their favorite way to play!
“Excellent communication, very friendly. Hung out with our little cats so they had some good interactions. And we loved getting pics for them. Also followed all our directions and got clarification when needed. Will definitely use again! She made it very easy!”
“Once a day Kianna stopped in and made sure our cat had food, water, and cleaned the litter. She sent a picture and said Jingles was fine on each day. We had vehicle problems and she willingly stopped in a few extra days.”
“Colleen was fabulous for drop-in visits while we were away on vacation: super responsive, thorough communication, and affectionate with our cats. We’ll definitely book with Colleen again!”

He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”

I thought she did a wonderful job, loved the updates, and that there were other dogs for my boy to play with! Thanks again!!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
About: Hi! I'm a teacher in the Lancaster area looking to spend my summers doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. I have extensive experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and animal care, and I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. One of my most rewarding experiences has been serving as a volunteer puppy raiser for service dogs throughout college and even before then. This role taught me the importance of consistency, patience, training, and providing a safe, loving environment for dogs as they develop important skills. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I'm patient with shy dogs, energetic pups, and senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I'm a teacher looking for a fun and rewarding way to spend my summers, and pet care is a perfect fit. During the summer months, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon adventures, I can accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, so spending time with dogs is something I genuinely look forward to. You can count on me to provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates while your pet is with me. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through patience, consistency, and communication. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while always prioritizing their safety.
“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”
“Ashley has been caring for my little dog for 2 years now and we are so grateful!! She is amazing and so kind with my unique dog. My dog gets excited in the car when pulling up in front of her house, and goes running up the stairs as soon as she opens the door, he absolutely loves being there!! Ashley is so generous sending gifts for my dog and giving him extra love and treats while she watches him. We're very grateful to have Ashley in our area!!!”
About: I have plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats as I used to be a professional dog sitter and walker!, I have 2 dogs of my own that I am constantly taking care of and I have much experience with all types of dogs! I work throughout the week but it’s usually mornings and usually off evenings and have a set routine schedule to be able to focus on all the furry puppers:)! I take my two dogs out on set times out in my front yard I usually let them roam free because I know them other dogs I would have on a leash and watch them, we feed them mornings and evenings and once inside just have them on their nice beds usually and let them roam where they want

About: I’ve had my own dogs, cats and exotic animals my entire life and helping with other pets for at least 10 years. I also have experience in boarding animals for rehoming but would love to help pets that already have furever homes. Between the two adults in my home, someone is almost always home. I work from home and my mom works from home. I have three children that also love dogs but I would not leave them responsible for the care or safety of your animal. I treat your pets like they were my own. Follow your prefered feeding schedule, walks, and play with your dog. Your wish is my command
“Mitch is a wonderful dog walker! & incredibly punctual, precise, and took amazing care of our dog. Our pup absolutely loves spending time with Mitch. Thanks so much, Mitch for all your help!”

About: Hello! My name is Rachel, I am a graduate student living in Lancaster and love to take care of your pets in my free time! I grew up with a big family and many animals including goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and a few dogs running around. I have always loved animals, especially horses and dogs. I also worked at Karen’s K9 Kare in Malvern for around a year. During my time there I gained experience dealing with large groups of dogs as well as bathing, training, and getting picky dogs to eat. The most essential skill I gained at this position is really how to manage stressed out animals, dealing with strangers can be difficult for many pets but I pride myself in being able to recognize what they need from me to make them as comfortable as possible.
“Kiana is great! She’s very experienced with animals and Rover so we wanted to book her asap. She took my two dogs for a walk and gave me updates on them, which is my favorite part. She was very flexible with our last minute booking needs. 10/10 will book again!!”
About: I have worked at a local animal hospital as a Veterinary Assistant the past 2 years. In this role I take appointments, handle and care for both cats and dogs, and assist the other veterinary staff. I am Fear Free Certified, meaning I took a course about animal behavior and how to best reduce stress on your pets. I have lived with dogs, exotics, and small animals my entire life and would love to help you out with any and all of your animals! I have experience with both large and small breed dogs having owned them myself, and regularly walk them. I dog walk as well as pet sit both cats and dogs in the area. I volunteer at a cat shelter in my free time, giving me some extra experience with rescue cats! I have volunteered at the SPCA before, walking the shelter dogs there as well as caring for the cats. I have also volunteered at a Rabies Vaccine clinic, helping the clients and their pets. As someone who has worked with pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, I would be happy to help with whatever you may need! Im currently a college student, so I would be most available on weekends. However week days can definitely be made to work depending on when I am needed! I am happy to perform whatever tasks needed to keep your cat or dog comfortable. I am able to take dogs out on a leash or let them go in a fenced in yard, whatever they are used to! I am happy to walk and play with them for whatever duration you would like.
About: I started fostering kitten when I was around 5, and have fostered over 200 kittens with the local humane league. The last 4 years of my life were spent caring for my childhood cat full time who passed at 19. I'm great at dealing with cat personalities, I've seen all types while fostering, and I'm especially good with scared or shy cats, and great at caring for elderly kitties. I've had dogs all my life, one or two always since I was 10. All were big golden retrievers/labs, all quite big boys, but I love all types of dogs. I'm going to be available full time to take care of your pets. Until recently, I was taking care of my own elderly cat full time as she needed lots of care. Now I'd really like to help out other peoples pets with the knowledge and experience I've gained throughout my life. Give them a good pet and checkup every time I see them to make sure nothing hurts/stands out. I can do whatever else your pet usually needs too. I'm great at getting shy/mean cats to warm up to me, and I'm great at giving cats medicine.
About: Grew up with cats and dogs, but I love all animals! Lots of people call me an animal whisperer because their animals respond so positive to me. I am working a part time job as I save up, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I love forming a relationship with your pets I care for them as if they are my own animals. Every animal has their own unique personality, but they all want to be loved
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have been caring for animals since I can remember. I watched many different breeds of dogs while in college. I’m available weekdays for walks, and weekends for dog/puppy sitting. I love all animals and have cared for many different breeds of dogs. I’m flexible so let me know what your pet needs. I have lot of experience with pets and walking dogs. I have no pets that I live with so any dog is welcome. Just let me know what your dog needs.
About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, attention, and care I give every pet. Since I’m off all summer, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide reliable care, long walks, and lots of companionship. I genuinely love being active and spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have lots of experience caring for dogs. I had a golden retriever for 8 years growing up, and my family currently has a 7-year-old golden retriever! Since I’m off for the summer from teaching, my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available most weekdays for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting. I’m able to adjust my schedule easily to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of attention while keeping the home clean and respected. I also prioritize safety and communication by giving regular updates and photos.
About: I have a wide variety of pet walking and sitting experience. From my years taking care of pets, I have learned many important skills. Such as how to administer oral medication’s and interact with high energy dogs. I have also become very good at gaining cats trust and allowing them to tell me what they need from me. Ensuring that the pets I’m looking after feel safe and reassured in my presence until their family comes home is my biggest priority, even if it means spending a little extra time with them. I’m currently taking online classes over the summer which will restrict my night walking services, but my daytime hours are usually free. I am also available most weekends and mornings. Unfortunately I am not allowed to keep pets in my home. That being said I take great pride in making sure that I leave my client’s home cleaner than when I arrived. This can range from cleaning up, spilled water from water dishes, cleaning up any curbs that a pet might have left on the floor, or cleaning up any accidents that a pet might’ve accidentally had.
About: I treat every dog like my own, tailoring care to their unique personality and routine. With me, your pup gets full-time love and attention in a cozy, stress-free home—not a kennel. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their schedule, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I am a full time student who student teaches at an elementary during the week. This gives me free weekends and a completely free summer, perfect for anytime you have a vacation! When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep everything familiar and comfortable—just like you never left. I stick to your pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or favorite spots for naps. I keep things clean, calm, and fun, and I always give updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
“Amanda was very responsive/communicative with us and my dogs immediately warmed up to her due to her friendly nature. She fed and walked our two goldens while we were away at Hershey Park for the day and it was a relief to know they were in such good hands. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
