“My 12 year old terrier mix has never been alone without me. Needless to say i was nervous but Karen eased my mind with her texts and pictures. I could tell Lucy was happy and i was sble to enjoy my vacation. Next time i need to go away i will definitely contact karen again.”

“We did a one night away and one of our dogs recently had surgery so needed care other than our typical place we go so went with Daniel. He is great with dogs and sends messages and pictures during the time you are gone.”

About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.
“Jess was wonderful and very caring for my dog Wiley. I got multiple updates a day and she was very thorough. She left my home clean and tidy and I would absolutely recommend her services.”

“Hailey was great and really helped me out after a sitter cancelled last minute. My dog really liked her and I liked seeing pictures and knowing how she was doing while I was away”

“Sarah made sure that all of our pets were taken care of and received tons of love and attention while we were away. She is also experienced with caring for rabbits so I knew that our bunny was in good hands and would be able to exercise his legs. I highly recommend her and will be booking her for future pet sitting needs!”

“Imani went above and beyond taking care of our two large pups. The house was tidy when we came home and they even helped get the snow off the driveway for our return. She sent pictures throughout the stay of the pups and took them on walks and played with them outside in the backyard as well.”

“We were afraid to leave our 18 year old partially blind kitty who takes complicated medications when we embarked upon a long international trip with minimal opportunities for contact. Samantha was reassuring and kind, and her calm and confident manner put us at ease. We received videos and photos all the while we were overseas, and our shy senior cat fell in love with Samantha’s gentle manner. Samantha also managed our home during a tropical storm, and when we returned, our home was immaculate. I cannot imagine a better person to trust with your beloved pet and your home. Samantha is not only a most competent professional but she is warm, and compassionate, and very dear. We are forever grateful to her!”
About: Working in the service industry, I take great pride in making sure all my guests are well taken care of, whether human, dog, or cat. Full time student (TUES/THURS classes only) - available after 5:30pm + overnight Part time job (4PM shifts) - available mornings + overnight after shift ends Your pet's care is my priority. Whether walking, feeding, or house sitting, it's important to meet all of your expectations so I can provide exceptional care for your pet.
About: I have had various dogs since I was a child including dachshunds, jack russels, and chihuahuas. I’ve always helped around the house and with the animals. (We’ve even had goats, chickens, goats, and a pig! So I know how to handle different dynamics.) I have trained and taken care of my own dachshund puppy over the past two years. I’ve taught him tricks, crate trained him, and navigated how to walk on a leash properly. As an early grad I am working to build my schedule with work. I make time for what’s important to me and that includes YOUR FURRY BABIES! I do have two part time jobs but I am very flexible with my availability. If you prefer me to be present at the house 24/7 I will! If you are okay with me working a shift or two while petsitting I can do that as well. All I need is communication! I will act and provide my services based on you and your pets needs. I am comfortable to give medicine, take your pets out for potty breaks any time they need, to crate them or share a bed for my stay.
“Emily did such a fantastic job with our boys!!! I felt at ease knowing they are in good hands and she updated us with everything! I will be booking again with her!!!”


About: I have taken care of other friends dogs including senior dogs. I currently own a two year old black lab mix named Atlas. I love walking dogs and would love the opportunity to meet yours! During the school year, I am currently available 8:30-5 most days during the week. Boarding is also available in the evenings and on the weekends. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, there is plenty of space to walk in my neighborhood. I also have one dog who is friendly with other dogs. I am comfortable crating dogs when needed.
About: What sets me apart is my energy, reliability, and heart! As a marathon runner, I can keep up with even the most energetic pups and provide long, engaging walks or runs and active play—perfect for high-energy dogs. As a teacher and coach, I’m incredibly patient, organized, and how to adapt to different needs—which helps me handle everything from playful puppies to older pets who need extra care and attention. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone. I’ll love and care for them like they’re my own! I have only been on Rover since August 2025 but have been caring for animals on other platforms since I was 15! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a teacher and track coach, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan ahead and give pets the attention they deserve. I’m an early riser thanks to marathon training, so morning feedings, walks, or playtime are easy for me to fit in. My evenings and weekends are often open, giving me plenty of time for drop-ins, snuggles, or longer visits. Any holiday break or extended weekend is often open as well! The summers are WIDE open since school is closed. I already care for my own two dogs and a cat, so adding more furry friends into my week is something I truly enjoy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I maintain their routines as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely. I make sure your pet feels comfortable, whether that means lots of play or giving them space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing!
“Christina is so sweet, caring, and easy to work with! She met with us beforehand to talk to us and meet our dog. She took care of our dog while we were getting married, and it was so nice to know he was in good hands while we were away for the weekend! We appreciated the pictures she took of him/updates she gave us!”


“Tracy was wonderful with my 2 dogs. She was able to adapt an help my older dog with her aversion to strangers. She gave her space, supported her and that was exactly what she needed. I would highly recommend her (and Bentley) as a pet sitter.”

“Madeleine was wonderful! She was responsive from the very first communication. She genuinely connected with our dog immediately and kept us informed and updated with pictures while we were on vacation. We look forward to having her care for our Zoey in the future. She is a gem.”

“Leanne is wonderful! This was our first time using a Pet Sitter, and she really put us at ease. We had to make arrangements at the last minute and she was so flexible, we fit in 2 meetings prior to leaving for our vacation. Our dog is a little anxious and he warmed to her so quickly. He's pushing 75lbs and she handled him beautifully. She followed instructions to a T, and was sending updates and photos before we'd even check in. We were completely comfortable with her in our home, she was incredibly respectful. Highly recommend her!”
West Reading pet parents share their Rover experiences
Diana was great with my cat and dog while I was away. She made sure to stop by and spend enough time with them. This was the first time I was away for a week and didn’t have family watching the pets. I was able to relax during my vacation knowing my pets were in great hands! Thank you again Diana for everything! 🫶

Daniel is the absolute best and the only one I would trust to watch my girls. My husband and I felt so comfortable with him the moment we met him and our girls did as well. We’ve lost some of the pack members we have and he was very sensitive to that and made sure to take lots of pictures and keep the communication flowing and open. Extremely highly recommended and the only one I would use! He deserves more than five stars! And I’m very picky.

As a 1st time user of Rover, I got super lucky with Brittany! My fur babies abso-freakin-lutely adored her! I got regular updates, and the girls got adventures and training for 'place' and agility games (something they did not understand lol), and Brittany made sure everyone had all the snuggles they could want.

We needed a pet sitter for our big vacation, and we really like Samantha after having her pet sit several times now. She did a great job of keeping the cats happy while also staying in our home so we knew the house was ok as well. We get pictures and updates, and she always responds quickly if we check in.
