“Kathleen is wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent me updates and pictures every day, and I felt that Kathleen treated our dog like part of her family. We will definitely will hire her again!”
“Jeffrey was my first time using Rover for my dog, Darcy. Jeffrey sent me updates and pictures that really helped me feel good about the care and responsibility he undertakes while watching others' furry family members. I was very pleased with Jeffrey and will definitely use him again if the need arises. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.”
“Could not have been more wonderful. I had a pretty last minute boarding request for Mariia - my corgi was going to stay with a family member who turned out to not be feeling well enough to take care of him. I feel so lucky that he spent the time with Mariia. She sent updates and photos daily and he was clearly in love with her! Thank you Mariia!!”
“Heather had her hands full with my 7 month old lab/husky puppy. She accepted the challenge and took great care of Meadow. I appreciated the updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Heather as a pet sitter.”
“Hiring Dana to dogsit Buster was the best decision. We usually board him at the vet, but wanted a change so that he would have a more social, active and fun experience. Dana was thoughtful, caring, communicative and flexible throughout the entire process (from booking to pickup). She took excellent care of Buster with specific attention to our requests. She sent us many wonderful photos of his daily activities, which included several nature and park walks. Buster had his own little vacation exploring new places while we enjoyed ours in complete peace of mind. We happily give Dana the highest praise and rating with respect to our experience with her. She is a true animal lover and a nice person.”
“Great experience. Wilbur seemed very happy and got along with Rocky. I especially appreciate that Andrew & Jacklynn had to care for Wilbur during the coldest spell this winter! I appreciate the extra effort in sending pictures & posts, especially for a 1st booking. So glad we found them and have confidence for subsequent bookings.”
“Our dogs love being with shamira and her family! We are delighted when we see photos of the dogs enjoying so many cuddles and so much attention. This is very reassuring to us, and also exactly the reason we choose for them to be cared for in the home. Just as importantly, Shamira has been wonderfully flexible, which is invaluable when leaving town to have one less thing to worry about!”
“They were absolutely great, definitely recommend! My dog Toby stayed with Jerrie and Xiao-Wei over the holidays and was clearly very happy there. Communication was great and Jerrie sent me pictures and updates throughout the stay. Toby didn't want to leave, we'll definitely be back!”
“Olive and her family were wonderful. Olive provided me with daily updates and was very reachable. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Olive,. Rickson had a great time and was lasting with the other dog (under Olive's watchful eye). Will definitely be using Olive's services again.”
“Lynda is great! I 100% recommend her. This was my first time leaving my dog meatball somewhere else and I was very nervous since he is an anxious and hyperactive dog. Lynda was very patient with meatball and very communicative, she was also great when it came to introducing meatball with other dogs, meatball was so happy when I picked him up and tired (which is good).”
“Michele was absolutely wonderful in every way!!! From communication, flexibility and being a warm, safe and loving caretaker for our 2 dogs!!! Her home was cozy, dog friendly and safe!!! I didn’t worry once about our dogs while I was away!!! We will be using her moving forward!!!!”
“Exceptional care for our Stella again on her good days and bad days as a senior pup with a chronic health condition. Ryan and his family go above and beyond to ensure she is loved and has the best care even offering vet trip. You can travel knowing your fur baby is in great hands.”
“We were very happy with Lee on how she took care of Teddy! She was very professional and kind to our dog! Her children had made a welcome sign for Teddy as we came up on the porch! I would highly recommend her services and will be using her again!!”
“Andrew was wonderful from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and flexible- we had to adjust our days after booking due to an unexpected funeral and he made the changes quickly. Our dog got really great care with frequent updates and pics and it was very clear Andrew really enjoys taking care of animals! Would highly recommend. Thank you!!”
“Jennifer was everything that we needed for our puppy for long term boarding. She walked us through the process and exceeded all of our expectations. She kept is updated with daily videos and pictures of our Diana. This was our first time using this service but we feel we’ve found our go to person from here on.”
“Mary’s very communicative and seemed really nice. I received pictures of Jaxx daily and he seemed to have a good time staying with her. I definitely recommend and will be asking her to watch Jaxx in the future.”
“Kathy was great and so accommodating. We felt really comfortable leaving our puppy in her care for an extended trip. She kept us updated and sent us pictures. We would definitely recommend her services.”
“Yuiko is the best! My dog is very anxious little chiwawa She is understanding and takes excellent care of our furry baby when we are long away.

“Steph was super considerate and took excellent care of Sonia during her drop-in visits. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Sonia was happy and comfortable while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and peace of mind she provided. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have a rescued cat of my own and extensive hands-on experience caring for cats. I am comfortable with different cat personalities, including shy, independent, and playful cats. I provide attentive care during drop-in visits, making sure they are fed, comfortable, and well looked after. I am patient, gentle, and always focused on making cats feel safe and relaxed.
“Victoria was great and any requests we had for the pets or entering/exiting the house she did exactly that. Our kitties tend to be pretty scared of new people and they were almost immediately comfortable with her. I was gone for several days and I didn't really have to worry. Will definitely rehire!”
“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”
“McKayla was an outstanding in home pet sitter for my cats! She made me feel completely at ease during my trip with her daily check ins which included pics of everybody looking content in her care. Will be utilizing her services again and again!”
“Hannah did a great job caring for our 2 cats. She followed instructions well and is super friendly. Our boys were well cared for. One of our cats has diabetes and needs insulin given subdermally via syringe, along with oral meds, and Hannah did well with administering those. Very reliable, kind sitter. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
“We are transitioning our outdoor kitty to an indoor kitty and were nervous about leaving for three days but Megan handled the change and all of our special instructions like a pro. She made sure that our resident indoor kitties weren’t stressed when the fomer outdoor kitty had free roam of the house by making sure they were safely in other rooms while she did her drop in and then she carefully placed our former outdoor kitty back into his room and let the resident indoor kitties back out before she left. Thank you, Megan!!”
“Meghan was really flexible and took our booking last minute. She was able to administer our cats medication without difficulty and was very communicative. You can definitely rely on her to take care of your pets. When the snow came, she still made it out to care for them. She is great!”
About: I have taken care and have owned cats my whole life. Working in professional settings I have had the privilege of taking care of other people’s cats as well, of all ages, following med care and dietary restrictions
“Cathy was all I could have hoped for in a caregiver for my sweet kitty. She was loving and followed my directions carefully. Philly was happy to see me when I got home, but calm and content. She had eaten her normal amount of food and Cathy sent pics of Philly playing! The pics were very reassuring. Thank you Cathy.”
About: I grew up in the Endless Mountains of Sullivan County, PA. This meant I spent a lot f time outdoors bringing in animals that my parents would have preferred stay outside. Circa 2011, a stray female cat chose to make our brush pile a home for her & her kittens. One of these kittens, Bobart (she/her), is still with my parents today! Though most of my care experience pertains to sitting dogs, I am also familiar with cat care since I grew up always having at least 1 in the house. I would love the opportunity to cherish your smaller pawed family members :)
“Heather was so wonderful taking care of our Mittens! She treated our kitty like she was her own. She sent us photos and updated everyday that showed how comfortable Mittens was in Heather's home. I highly recommend her for you pet sitting needs!!”
“Brooke was great as always! :) She's super communicative and always keeps us up to date about what's going on with our kitty. Would definitely recommend her services and will be booking her again.”
“Christopher took fantastic care of our 3 cats while we were away. They have different personalities, one thinks he is king, one is the bridge builder, and one is very shy. Christopher befriended all three and coaxed the shy one out of her hiding place. I highly recommend Christopher and will definitely try to book him again.”
“Henry ❤️ Bryn! She took great care of him while we were on vacation. In addition to feeding and other basic care, she was his play companion and advocate. She sent us daily “action shots” that show Henry joyfully playing cat soccer, catch, and hide and seek with her. She also payed close attention to how he responded to the feeding schedule. When it seemed he was hungrier than expected, she messaged us to discuss giving him a bit more food each day. Henry and his people enthusiastically recommend Bryn for cat care!”
About: 20 to 30 minute visits include feeding, litterbox, alternate lights, mail, trash and plant care I can fill your bird feeders --- kitties love bird watching !! Lots of TLC !!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wooded Pond
“Margaret and her family are so welcoming and accommodating! I’m so glad I found such a great daycare option so close to my office. Minnie comes home tired in the best way and I know she had so much fun while with Margaret. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“Sarah was wonderful with Curtis! Her communication & updates during the day were top notch, and Curtis came home a happy boy. Will definitely book him for a day at Sarah's again. Thank you!”
“We booked a short day-sitting to give us a chance to meet Olive. She did a wonderful job with a slow introduction for my two apprehensive dogs. She has a very nice, clean house, and was very kind and caring towards our boys. I especially like the fact that she only sits for one family's dog(s) at a time. While my larger dog loves playing in group settings with other dogs, my 10 lb younger guy can get very scared. I look forward to booking her services again.”
“Our 11 month old Cavapoo seemed to be very happy with her stay. They sent a ton of photos and it was an added bonus that they have a very nice dog. She was able to hang with her new friend all day. They are very responsive and flexible. we feel comfortable booking them for extended overnight stays.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Mochi with a sitter. Jason was so responsive from the start. He sent lots of photos and it was evident he’s a pro! Mochi had a great day!! I would recommend him everytime! Thank you again!”
“We had a nice experience with Mariia. She made sure our puppy, Benny was comfortable and spent quality time with him for the evening when we left him with her and her family. Our puppy was offered pee/poop breaks regularly, meal time was followed and he got plenty of play time. We were very happy with her service!”
“Matt & Tara were great with my gal, Pebbles. They sent me a couple of photos along with messages letting me know she was okay, which was a relief especially since this was the 1st time using them, will definitely rebook with Matt & Tara”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and starting in grade school, I walked dogs and pet sit for families in the neighborhood. Just a lover of all animals 🤗🐾 I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule when it comes to a walk around the neighborhood or a check in with your pet. When checking in on your pets at home, I will always be cautious of keeping gates and doors closed and keeping them on their leash when gearing up for a walk ☺️
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my puppy. She and her husband took the time to get to know us through a thoughtful meet‑and‑greet. Jessica then followed up with clear communication, made sure I felt completely comfortable before the booking, and ensured all details of the day were clear. Throughout the day, she sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My puppy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly caring sitter.”
About: I’ve built strong bonds with dogs over the years — including a deep connection with a pit bull I cared for consistently over a year, and ongoing care for a friend’s anxious dog who takes daily medication. I’ve also dog-sat for a coworker and have a history of being the go-to person for friends’ and family’s dogs, including pets who took to me right away. I’m comfortable with medication schedules, anxious or nervous dogs, and larger breeds, and I prioritize keeping dogs on their normal routine and feeling secure while their people are away. I’m currently job searching , as a long term social worker/therapist, which gives me a flexible daily schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m generally free during the day and evenings, with consistent availability throughout the week to keep your pet on their routine. I have two cats of my own — a senior cat on a twice-daily medication routine and a younger cat with a sensitive temperament — so I’m experienced with calm, low-stress environments. I’m attentive to introductions, keep a clean space, and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable. While I don’t have a private yard, there’s grass right in front of my place, a larger grassy area across my street, and a Power Line trail just across the main road for walks
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs and cats. Given medications when required. Long dog walks, trips to dog parks, belly rubs, games, pup cups, a fenced in yard with sprinklers and a puppy pool during hot weather. I use the WoofTrax app to document walks send photos to owners. The cats get play time and cuddles and ear scratches to make them purring. I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets from friends and family. I am currently semi-retired and working from home. I love taking care of pets and provide a warm, friendly environment. I have a fenced in yard, my dog loves playing with other animals. I can go to your home if you prefer and I’ll bring the toys and treats to keep your pet happy.
“We had a wonderful experience with Kate this weekend. She made sure Benny was comfortable and took very good care of him. She understood his needs as a puppy and gave him attention. She has a beautiful backyard and that helped as well. We would definitely leave Benny in her care whenever we need and when Kate is available. Thank you so much Kate!”
“Wanda took great care of my dog Tink! She was extremely happy to be there! My dog also has stomach issues so I’m pretty particular on who I leave her with and I would definitely recommend Wanda if you are looking for someone to watch your dog!”
“Oreo had a wonderful time at Mike's house! She enjoyed playing with Mike's sweet dog Trent as well as a few other four-legged guests in the spacious fenced backyard, and came home happy and exhausted. Mike was very prompt with communication and sent some fun pictures. Thank you!”

“Bryn was an amazing walker! Took the time to get to know me and my dog, asked lots of questions, and sent me many updates and pictures during the day! I will definitely be contacting her again when I need pet care. Very friendly and personable.”
About: I've been pet and house sitting since grade school and will treat your pet like the member of the family they are. We all love our pets and want them taken care of in the best way possible. I have a flexible schedule and will make room for what you and your pets need when they need it. I have reliable transportation and am very punctual. I'm always on top of keeping doors and gates secured so there's no danger of an escape act occurring. Leashes and harnesses are essential for a good walk.
“Brooke was great! She responded super quickly even though I had a last minute emergency booking and she was great at sending pictures and updates on the walks. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello and welcome! With a fur baby of my own, I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I go above and beyond to make sure that your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy snuggles on the couch, or quiet walks in my neighborhood, your pet will feel right at home and get 5-star treatment! ⭐️ and lots of pictures of course! 📸 I have grown up my whole life taking care of dogs and cats and love bringing the joy of animals into my home. I have a large house, large backyard, and live in a quiet walk friendly neighborhood with close access to walking paths and parks. Every pet will be treated like family and I will give them personalized attention and adapt routines to their needs to ensure a stress-free environment. I have experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and can administer medication if needed. My dog is my first child and I will treat yours like one of my own 💛 I work mostly at home and sometimes in the office. My schedule is very flexible so I will modify my schedule to fit your pets needs! I have a large yard and a super friendly senior dog to keep your dog company. If your dog has a crate or bed I have plenty space for it in my home. My home is their home so they are more than welcome to snuggles on the couch or bed (if ok with you!). Safety is my top priority. I am comfortable with all dog temperaments and will adjust routines as needed for your pets individual needs and behavior.
About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my whole life. While I’ve never had my own dog, I’ve taken care of neighbors and friends dogs. I’ve grown up with cats and love them dearly also. I’d treat your furry friend like they were my own. I currently work very flexible hours from home so I’m able to come see your pet when needed. I’m just a call or message away. I will follow your instructions to the t on how you would like your pet cared for. Your comfort and your pets comfort is what’s most important to me
About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.
“Simba completed his first week of walking with Tim, and he is loving it! Tim is very friendly and always on time. He gives us regular and plenty of updates about the walk- the route, potty/pee-pee breaks, and of course many photos of our fuzzball on the walk <3 Simba is very comfortable walking with Tim, and I can tell that he looks forward to his walks with him already.”
“Our dog LOVES Amanda’s visits. She is professional but friendly and genuinely cares about his welfare! We have had to reschedule our walks a few times and Amanda has always been so flexible about it. We are lucky to have her!”
About: I grew up with the most incredible yorkie-poo for 16 years, and I’ve been filling the void by following way too many dog Instagram accounts. I really miss having a dog around, so your dog will get a lot of attention and be in great hands. I’ve looked after pit bulls, a Shar-Pei, doodles, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and mixed breeds of all sizes. Whether your dog is big, little, high-energy, anxious, stubborn, or just wants a buddy nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I may find it hard to get work done because I’ll probably spend too much time hanging out with your dog. And if they’re into people food, I’ll respectfully disappoint them unless you tell me otherwise. I’m in a flexible stretch right now, doing job-search work, contract work, and projects mostly from home. That means I can usually build my day around walks, drop-ins, or hanging with your pet. I’m best for weekday daytime care, evenings, and some weekends with a little notice. If I have an interview, work call, or trip coming up, I’ll be upfront before booking so there are no surprises. I’m pretty careful and communicative by default. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep dogs leashed unless you explicitly say otherwise, double-check doors/gates, and send updates so you know your pet is good. I’m not going to freestyle with food, treats, medications, dog parks, or anything that could create a weird situation. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine.
