About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I am currently unemployed so taking care of your dog(s) is my top priority! So whether it’s staying at your house over night, or just coming in occasionally to check on your dog, I’m your guy! I work well with dogs in any environment, big yards, small yards, or even no yard at all. I am very good at commanding dogs & keeping them out of trouble while also letting them have fun at the same time.
About: I have taken care of neighbors & family members pets for the past 5 years, and have two of my own puppies. Love all animals! I currently work part time (usually 8:30-4:00) three days per week. My days change every week but I am home every weekend & every evening. My backyard is fenced in and I have multiple crates. Comfortable walking, crating, feeding, and pottying dogs. Can follow any regimen your dog is used to!
About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.
About: I have been caring for pets for as long as I could remember I grew up in a household that always had cats and dogs. One of my favorite things to do is spend time with animals. I have four years of professional experience assisting my mom with her pet sitting services. I I have done drop in visits walks and overnight house sitting. I not only have experience with cats and dogs, but I also have experience with puppies, birds, mice and even pigs. I do my best to fit into your pet’s normal routine. Whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’ll make sure they get care when they need it most. If you have specific timing needs, just let me know and we’ll work it out. Pets are our best friends It’s important to know they are I. Good hands when we can’t be there for them. I would be sure to treat your animal with the same love and care and attentiveness that I treat mine. I want to provide trustworthy and reliable care so that you know your pet is well taken care of while you are away. I would be sure to follow any guidelines you have for the well-being of your pet. I look forward to making new pet friends
“I cannot say enough about Daniela B. We adopted a puppy mill Bichon that doesn’t know home life, human touch or kindness. Daniela came to our house to care for our frightened, new (we adopted her two weeks prior to the sitting) girl. Daniela treated our girl as if she were her own, and put my worried mind at ease.”


About: When I was young I had 5 cats, Yuna, Spooky, Toby, Rose, and JD, rest in peace, I loved them all a lot and they were with me for a long time, especially Yuna. But now I have 2 Cats, one of which is in the room with me as I write this Bio. His name is Spuds, there's a second one, a Black Cat called Casper who's definitely a handful, but regardless I love the two beyond measure. I've taken care of the two as long as I've had them. My experience isn't just limited to Cats, as I've been around Dogs just as long as I've been with Cats. My mother growing up was a Dog Walker, so I naturally have a lot of second-hand experience with Dog Walking and know the basics. She'd take me and my sister all across Brooklyn 5 days a week to walk 3 Dogs, sometimes more. Furthermore my big brother has a Pitbull mix, whom I've also walked plenty of times. This may be my first time as an actual dogwalker/pet sitter, but I'm certainly not inept. This is my first job, so you better believe I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet, no matter what time of day. Unless of course I have other things to do, such as errands, or any other responsibilities that come up, but you will obviously be warned and told about said responsibilities in advance. I play and cuddle my Cats a ton everyday, along with feeding them and cleaning their litterboxes. And with Dogs, I know how much they need their outside time, so I'd obviously take them outside for Walks or fresh air routinely. I may have less experience with other pets, but so long as you give me proper details on how to take care of them, I could care for just about any pet you ask. Be it Rabbits, Turtles, Lizards, etc.
“Jill was amazing! She cared for our dogs like they were her own. I have 2 very different dogs with different needs and she was great for both. I have an older dog who needs love and slowness while the other is a younger hyper pup who needs alllllll the love and walking and energy. Jill sent photos while I was away. She took the worry away of being away from my babies!”

“With this being my first experience with the app, Lauren made the experience easy, and comfortable. Her and Winnie got along great. I was very happy to have the peace of mind, knowing Lauren was taking care of Winnie.”

Book me for a guaranteed good time for your furry friends! I’m currently in college, so my schedule is busy during the day. That being said, I am available any time after 5:30. I am also available for boarding at your residence on weekends! I will treat your furbabies like they’re my own! I can take your dog on walks or just relax with them on the couch! Whatever your dog needs, I’m here to provide!

About: I have plenty experience with caring for large and small breeds. Have had many dogs in my family. Volunteered at shelters. I also attended dog grooming school. I am an operating room RN by profession for 28 years. Caring for pets is a passion of mine. Available for walks, pet sitting, & vacation stays. I am available days, evenings, & nights. I am willing to care for more than one dog at a time. My schedule is very flexible. You can have confidence knowing your fur baby will be safe and loved while you are away. I will offer you as many daily updates as you need so you are comfortable.
“This was our first time using Rover and Kennedy was awesome ! She was caring , responsive and on time ! The dogs loved having her. We will definitely be using her again for our fur babies .”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. One of my earliest memories is begging my parents for a dog until they relented and got me a free puppy from the classifieds in the newspaper (yes, I am that old)! Over my life time, I’ve been privileged to take care of five dogs. They ranged in size from a 10 pound poodle mix to a 150 pound St. Bernard. My current fur babies are a rambunctious lab mix and two pampered house. cats As a pet owner, I know the importance of having reliable and trustworthy sitters to take care of my fur babies when I am out of town. I am that person who writes long and detailed instructions about feeding schedules, medications, and who to call in case of an emergency. Most afternoons, I am available to take your dog(s) for a walk, feed your cat(s), or just check on your house when you are away. I will text or email you updates with photos. I will take care of your fur babies and respect your home as if they were my own.
About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.
About: I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy. I'm currently working three 12-hour shifts each week providing me evenings on work days and full days twice during week and all weekend for caring for cats. I'm unavailable Wednesday evenings and weekend mornings for religious reasons. I have a clean home vacuumed every morning with plenty of windows for looking out of. Scratching posts are in every room with plenty of toys and treats to go around. I love petting cats and giving belly rubs if that's their thing.
“Alannah is wonderful to work with. She took very good care of our girl, Lucy, before she passed away. And now, Alannah takes good care of our newest babies, Doc and Wyatt. Highly recommend her.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So grateful for the amazing care my pup has received! Thank you Bri for being so accommodating on short notice and for always responding so quickly. She made everything feel easy and stress-free. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in loving, attentive hands. We truly appreciate you and will definitely be booking again!”

Wilkes-Barre dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adam did a wonderful job caring for our dogs when we were away. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and loved. One of our dogs is 19 years old and has special needs, and Adam was very knowledgeable in how to care for her and give her the extra attention she needs. Thank you Adam!

I give Jared a 5-Star ***** rating for today’s visit . Hershey bonded with Jared way beyond my expectations. As the saying goes: “A picture tells a thousand words.” And Hershey looked happy. My dog was safe and loved. I will be booking Jared again through Rover! I highly recommend Jared as well. 🐾💕🐾
Andrew comes highly recommended. He is extremely dependable, thorough, and spends every minute of that window with your pet. He is very communicative, flexible, and further, is a consummate professional. Your pet is in good hands and to this day we take advantage of his availability every time we get the opportunity.
