“Jude is amazing! Our little girl got sick while we were away and Jude worked closely with me over the phone to be sure she was doing okay. She was creative with care and feeding, and decreased our anxiety about being away from our baby. She sent lots of pics and plenty of assurance. We love her and feel great about our next booking!”
“We are so grateful to have found Samantha! She did a meet and greet to meet our dog and cats, and the day of our vacation she came over before we left. Our dog ran over to her and wagged his tail so happy to see her. She did a great job of communicating throughout each day and sent a lot of pictures which I liked. When we returned, all of the pets were happy, had clean dishes and litter boxes, and our home was as if we never left. We’ll definitely be using Samantha again and highly recommend!”
“I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.”
“We were looking for someone to not only treat our pets as their own but someone we could trust and feel comfortable having them house set with our pets. We were fortunate enough to find that in Wendy. She’s thoughtful, conscientious, and friendly. She took good care of our pets and provided updates throughout the week. She gets 5 stars from us. We will definitely use her again.”
“Danika is the sweetest and took SUCH great care of William! From the pictures that she sent, it certainly looked like the two bonded. I appreciate the communication and the photos! 10/10”
“Kayla was the best!!! She is extremely loving with my animals and did an excellent job taking care of them when I was out of town. Tons of pictures and updates!!! She was great!!!”
“Mary took exceptional care of our pittie, Luna who initially can be nervous and very excited. She even went above and beyond, by moving the garbage during the weekly pickup, getting the mail, and even watering my outdoor plants. Luna seemed comfortable with Mary and she communicated often. I really felt stress free my entire vacation. I highly recommend Mary and will book again!”

She walked him, kept him hydrated, and made sure he was entertained the entire time. She was so sweet and gentle with him—truly wonderful. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always cared and taken care of neighbours and family friends dogs, which then lead to working at greenlin pet resort! I am very knowledgeable on body language and dog behaviours along with having great patience towards new pups and older pups. I also have an amazing attention span and lots of energy to walk and play with your dogs! Apart from caring for my own fur pup, on off days I’m available mornings-evenings. Also allowing time for pet care, evenings of my work days! Depending on the vibe and mood of your pet, I work around them! Only endorsing healthy and fun behaviour. I let them decide what is too much and just enough (walks, playing, rubs, tricks, etc).
“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Samantha was so great for our pups while we were out of the country. They can be very sensitive, and she handled them flawlessly! We even had a situation come up that required some medical attention, and she was able to resolve the situation in a manner that gave us the peace of mind that we needed. Very professional and polite, would recommend!”
“I have a rescue dog that can be unpredictable and she is also somewhat fearful of strangers, but she liked Emily right away and I was able to travel without any worry about my dog being happy and cared for at home! It was a real blessing to find Emily and I will definitely call her the next time I have to travel! I can highly recommend her as a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
“Emma was wonderful! I felt reassured my 2 dogs were in good hands. She took great care of them and will definitely call on her again for dog sitting! Thank you for making my vacation carefree by not having to worry about my girls! Thank you very much!”
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.
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve developed an understanding of their needs, behaviors, and routines. I also have experience babysitting dogs, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing a comforting presence. From high energy dogs or independent cats, I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for in your absence ❤️ My schedule is currently flexible, so I’m happy to work with your preferred times. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to make it work! I live in a pet friendly apartment very close to the susquehanna, so I make sure pets get plenty of walks around city island, bathroom breaks, and playtime both indoors and outdoors to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your routines closely to help them feel safe.

“Bruce is great with all dogs, big and small. He loves to pet dogs everywhere he goes, and he is excellent with his own dog. He has trained his own dog to sit, stay, heel, and down. Bruce will happily keep treats in his pocket every day to keep your doggy happy, and your dog will quickly become Bruce's best friend. I would trust any of my dogs with Bruce.
