Personalized care for your dog or cat - Witmer
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Witmer
“2nd time that Charissa and Shawn has taken in our baby Gorgon and literally made himself at home. We have been very lucky in finding them because our dog is a fairly nervous and anxious boy so traditional boarding places just don’t work for him. He absolutely adores them and their kids and he’s a lot happier being one on one with someone to care for him. Thank you so much for watching over him and for sure using these guys again and again when need be.”
“Kyle was extremely responsive, patient, and attentive with both of my dogs. He was an excellent sitter who truly cared. My dogs had a great time! I will definitely ask Kyle to watch my dogs again in the future”
“Was given updates even though the stay was short. Plenty of space and friendly dogs for bingo to play with. The most relaxed I’ve seen my dog! Thank you”
“Vera was quick to respond to our request for service and readily accommodated our need for schedule flexibility. We can tell that our sweet elderly girl Grace was very well cared for. Vera and her family are “Dog people” and it shows. I would certainly use Vera in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her services to friends or family.”
“Angelita was a joy to deal with. It's very apparent that she loves what she does. It was obvious that my dog Maggie was well cared for and was treated like she was family. I will definitely book with Angelita again in the future!”
“Calli and Luna had a great time with Kaylee, Kash and her husband. They were well cared for during their stay. Kaylee sent daily pictures and updates which definitely put this Momma’s nerves at peace. A lot of Luna’s photos were a bit blurry because I don’t think she was still for very long! 😄 We will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“What can I say!, I am so glad that I chose Stacy to care for my dogs. She treated them like if they were part of the family. She kept me updated often and sent lots of pictures! I 10/10 recommend!!”
“Maggie stayed with Betsy Saturday thru Monday. Once again Betsy has gone above and beyond with our Maggie (corgi). Apparently Maggie decided to act like a cat and at 3:00 AM she decided to start doing the zoomies and play with her toys. Betsy was okay with that!! Betsy is like having a grandparent for your dog. She likes to spoil them!! Which is great to have.”
“I gave her $170 tip total… and she well deserved every bit of it! Vicky and her family were sensational sitters to my dogs, and I will definitely if I have to or even no reason I will rebook her again !”
“Genalind and the whole family were great with my dogs.. will definitely book with her again. Great pictures and keeping me posted with my dogs all day.. We loved that.. thank you so much”
“Kristin was a kind soul and a Godsend for our dog when we had to make plans in a hurry. Our dog is nervous around new people but she didn’t want to leave! Five stars. :)”
“Arthur spent 1 night with Heather and Spencer in advance of an extended vacation stay with them. Lots of updates were provided with pictures. Arthur seemed very happy to see us and although I'm struggling to leave him with anyone, I think he'll be OK with Heather and Spencer during our longer trip. He looks forward to coming back and playing with his dog friends.”
“Michael went above and beyond taking care of our dog when we were away on vacation. He got sick the night before we dropped him off. We told Michael about it when we arrived and he was more than willing to take care of him. Turns out that our dog had a what appeared to be a partial blockage. Michael without hesitation was willing to take him to our vet to be diagnosed. He then faithfully gave him his medication all while communicating everything with us. We are more than grateful. Thank you Michael!”
“Sheree did a fabulous job watching our mini golden doodle Caramel. Caramel stayed for two weeks and Sheree sent photos and videos. We were confident our little doggie was being taken care of and having a blast with her mini golden as well. She is a great dog sitter and we highly recommend her.”

“Sophia was incredibly responsive, did a great job with everything I asked her, and left great, thorough reviews and notes! Would not hesitate to have her stop back again!”
“After a horrible first experience with a Rover sitter, Kyleigh is a breath of needed fresh air. She has a great energy and took excellent care of my cats. I was able to enjoy my cousin’s wedding knowing my babies were in good hands. I genuinely look forward to hopefully booking with her again for my next vacation this summer.”
“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!”
“Sydney was great. She sent me texts, pictures and sometimes little videos of my two cats reassuring me that they were being well taken care of. I would definitely rebook her for future vacations.”
“Danielle was fantastic! Returned home to happy cats. Danielle provided good updates and was clearly very on top of things. She even improvised to make sure Kitten took her pill even after Kitten refused, which I’m grateful for. Seems detail-oriented which I appreciate! Would love to hire again!”
“Sarah is so nice and friendly! She did a great job taking care of my Mango and making sure she was okay while I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her in the future! 😻”
“I could not have asked for a better catsitter. Erin made sure to update me after every visit with pictures to see how my boy was doing, and he looked happy to see her every time. He got plenty of play time and affection on top of the basic necessities. She delivers on all of her promises– and she makes sure to tell you what to expect well in advance along. Einstein was well-fed, well-loved, and well-looked-after thanks to Erin. I look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“This was our first time with Julie taking care of our senior kitty, Lilly. Julie was flexible & patient since we weren’t sure if we were able 2 go away or not, but we did! Julie was punctual, responded 2 texts, good communication/asked questions & thoughtful. She let us know when Lilly had a hairball & informed us when a service guy was working outside unexpectedly. Julie took cute photos of our Lilly & kept us informed of Lilly’s potty breaks & eating/drinking during every visit. Julie also confirmed when we were coming home & if there was anything else she could do 4 us during her last visit. I would book Julie again & our Lilly gives her 4 paws up!”
“Lexie is great! She was able to take care of our puppy last minute and was so kind, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind to leave him with her. It’s obvious she really loves animals. We are super grateful for an awesome sitter!”
“Rachel was fantastic. Entirely reliable. She sent tons of pictures of Callie while we were gone and completely followed through on all of our discussed arrangements. I highly recommend and will happily and gratefully call on her kindness and care again in the future.”
“We rebooked with Lexi this time for drop in visits for our cat and to refresh water for our chickens - she was on top of it! Appreciate her good care with our animals.”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. 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: Dogs and puppies are family members too!! Rest assured, while you are away leave your furry friends with me! I have experience with several breeds. I was a beagle owner for around 17 years. I provide animals with the best positive experience while making them feel like they are at home! Your pets needs are important to me, if they need any special attention, care, treats, crate, medicines etc.. I will make sure to deliver. I do not have any animals currently, however I prefer a meet and greet prior to booking. My availability varies week to week, but it is something we can discuss further. I have plenty of play time to spend with your dogs / pups. My schedule is flexible with proper communication. Looking forward to give you peace of mind while you are away! Pets will always be on a leash when leaving my home. I do not take any animals when in my care to dog parks, unless specially requested to do so.
“Cindy was so amazing ! Never used a service before and was so amazed at how she constantly updated me on how Puppers was doing including sending me pics. He was well cared for and would absolutely request her again!!”
“This was Alexis’s 2nd time watching our cat, Mars and she is just the absolute best! She truly treats Mars like her own and he adores her. All the pictures she took of Mars to send us were also so very sweet, as it showed Mars was being very playful and cuddly. I cannot recommend Alexis enough! Thank you so much!!! We can’t wait to book you again & again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Witmer
“Angelita was so sweet with our pup and very communicative. It was an easy place to find and we are so grateful our Nilla got some play time in while we were busy exploring! We would definitely book again and highly recommend Angelita!”
“Heather was most incredible Sitter for my pup Maggie Mae. Maggie truly enjoyed her time with Heather. Heather made her feel right at home. Thanks Heather will see you again.”
“Stacy was awesome! Cappy had a great first stay with her and her family. She was very attentive to his needs and communicated with me about how he was doing! Cappy will definitely be staying with Stacy again!”
“I was hesitant with Rover at first, being new to the area and not knowing what to expect with doggy daycare in someone’s home. Mai is GREAT! Love the communication, photos and videos that I’ve received so far. Feeling a lot better about using Rover!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Vera caring for both of my Yorkies! She was loving, attentive, and took excellent care of them. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I left extremely happy with her service and the care she provided. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again! ❤️🐾”
“Charissa was amazing with our last minute planning and willing to babysit our fur baby. Our pup loves attention and affection from anyone and everyone but he felt completely at home within her home and that’s the best feeling when you know your pet is doing well. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.”
“Julie did a an awesome job. We just moved to a new area, so we were worried about finding the right person for chloe. Julie did a great job of communicating and letting us know how chloe was doing. We would definitely use Julie again. We found the right person for our pup!”
“Gwendoline saved our lives. We needed a last minute daycare sitter after our "pet friendly" hotel gave us a problem about our dog barking. Fortunately, Gwendoline was available last minute and agreed to care for our pups for the day so we could do touristy things out in Lancaster. She supplied photo updates and really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our weekend away in Lancaster knowing our pups were in good hands. We picked them up after our Sight & Sound show and the pups were happy and sleepy. We plan to make our Lancaster trip an annual family holiday and are so happy we found an amazing sitter to take care of our girls when we're in town!”
“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♥️”
“Courtney saved us from a last minute dog day care request. She sent me all the pictures of Dharmi having su much fun. Thank you Courtney for be so flexible, friendly and kind with my senior dog Dharmi. 🥰”
“Tanya and David were wonderful with our dog Coco! We were on vacation and needed a sitter while at Sight and Sound. They made us feel completely at ease leaving her for the day. We definitely will use them again!”
About: I've taken care of and have had pets for forty years, and would love to care for yours as well. I grew up raising Labador Retrievers, and have owned cats over the years as well. I've also had the pleasure of caring for and boarding friends' & families' pets, and having them in my home always brings me so much joy!!! We currently don't have any pets so yours will get all the attention! I am currently a stay at home mom who homeschools my teens. I have flexibility in my schedule most days of the week, and would love to care for your pets in my home, or in your home. I offer dog walking and visits to your home, and will take your pet(s) into my home as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking, and I will accomodate your pet's exercise needs.
“D was amazing!! She took care of my puppy and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. 10/10 would recommend. She was very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating!”
About: I have a very friendly mini labradoodle who LOVES visitors and one cat who is also very comfortable with dogs visiting my home (he’s also very happy to stay independently in other areas of the home if needed). I have three young children who live with me 50% of the time, who are also very high energy and love running around with dogs. Since I work from home full time, I’m able to walk dogs multiple times during the day and don’t have to crate during the day. Large three floor home, small yard, very close to multiple open outdoor spaces for dogs to run. I work from home full-time, so have lots of flexibility to care for pets! No need to crate daily, and can offer multiple daily walks. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I have a lead for those who want to stay outside for a bit and several leashes for short bathroom breaks. I also live very close to several outdoor spaces for dogs (ie parks).
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Witmer
“Erica was great and very patient with our pups. We have one dog that is very skiddish and takes awhile to warm up. He actually warmed up by the second day which is unusual for him. So glad found her as we lost our other dog walker who recently moved.”
“Kenneth is the absolute best dog walker and dog whisperer!! My dog has anxiety and is afraid of everything but not Kenneth. He got to know my dog and is gentle, not pushy. He’s friendly and punctual. I highly recommend him!”
About: I have worked around animals my who life. I have had dogs and helped raise them through all stages of life. I have my own dogs bear 3 who is a husky German Shepard mix and tank a jack Russell chihuahua mix. I love animals and have always enjoyed helping care for them! I am currently at home helping care for my family. I have an open schedule and cant wait to help with your animals! Most days I have available to help take on animal care and love. I am a very trust worthy person, I was a in home care taker for 4 years helping care for a home and their two children in their home. I have worked in banking for many years and I am also a military veteran. I would take the upmost pride in giving the best care!
“This was my first time using Rover for my dog and I couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks to Julie. Excellent communication, punctual, very warm towards my dog, and the distance covered during the walk let me know my dog was getting good exercise and not just a leisurely stroll. Thanks so much, Julie!”
“Julie is so friendly and dependable and I really appreciate her helping me out when I need to run errands. Noelle my doggie is always so happy to go walking with her. Many Thanks!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including raising my own dogs and caring for puppies, senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I currently have a 8 year yellow Lab named Nala. She’s sweet, affectionate and has just enough of the typical Lab troublemaker personality to keep things interesting! I’m comfortable following individual routines and giving each dog the patience and attention they need. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise and care they need while you’re away. I’m happy to adjust to what works best for them. Most importantly, I take being responsible for someone’s pet seriously. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own and I’ll make sure your dog is well cared for while you’re not there. I work full time during the week, but have the most flexibility on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule visits in advance so I can give each dog the time and attention they need. When I’m caring for a pet, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, nd well cared for. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine, whether that menas a walk, potty break, playtime, or simply some company.
About: I had a border Collie for 17 years now an American shepherd for 1.5 years and he's fully trained already he's great just still a pup. Currently I work part time for an Amish company and I do morning pick ups and evening drop off with Thursday me being at the job all day. With time in advance I can move stuff around if need be. Im basically free all week during the times everyone is working. Well my dog i train and make sure he's behaving before he gets a reward. I don't always make him do stuff for tricks, but I practice commands daily and when it's not raining we go on walks, unfortunately he gets car sick so long drives aren't great for him still. I hug him tell him he's great tell him when he's done something bad as well, Play with toys and I'm currently working on him knowing what toy I'm telling him to get
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Rachel has been waking our dog on and off for about a year, and she is always reliable! She is helping to train our pup to walk better on a leash. We highly recommend her as a dog walker!”
About: I have been a cat owner for more than two decades. I have helped family and friends with their dogs over the same amount of time. I currently work full-time, but I have set days off and every other weekend I am also available to pet sit. I can work walks into my schedule easily, but sitting only a few times a week. I do not bring pets home with me since we have limited space, but I am more than fine at your place. I keep the place clean if your puppers has an accident.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Tyler as our dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Tyler is consistently on time, which is a huge relief for our busy schedule. His communication skills are excellent; he keeps me informed about how our dog is doing during walks and is always open to any questions I have. What truly stands out is how well he follows our care instructions. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about our dog’s well-being, and that gives us peace of mind. Our dog is not only safe but also incredibly happy after spending time with Tyler. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! Thank you, Tyler, for providing such wonderful care!”
“Zania was easy to contact and communicate with. She asked plenty of questions and really got to know my dog. I was very comfortable with her as was my dog. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a dependable and responsible person.”
About: Hi friends! I have owned cats and dogs my entire life. I have cared for family & friends animals and have had the pleasure to care for many others along the way!
