“Shianna was great. She arrived on time and was great with Zoey. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals (doggies, cats, goats, turtles, birds, etc.) Since I was a little girl I always had a passion for caring for animals and treating them with love and respect. I’m currently working on getting my bachelors in social work online and almost home all the time; so I have plenty of time to care for your furry best friends. I have a fenced yard and enough space inside the house where the pets can play and have a good time away from home. I can also crate your fur baby if necessary. I have a 5 year old friendly cocker spaniel.
“So polite and handled all instructions perfectly. I feel confident my dog was enjoying her time while with you.”
“Amanda is very good with our fur babies and very trustworthy. It has been a pleasure having her watch our babies and we will definitely call on her again. She comes highly recommended..”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats over the past few years. I’m very good at following care instructions. I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have cerebral palsy so Im home the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to genuinely care for your pet. This schedule allows me to be attentive to all your pets needs. I ensure your pet feels safe and loved by providing a clean, secure environment. I follow all care instructions, maintain a pet-friendly space, and offer constant supervision.
“Kim is amazing. She walked Major twice a day, half an hour each walk, regardless of rain or cold. So dedicated and saved me during my work trip when another sitter kept him isolated in a sunroom and made him so anxious. I will definitely use Kim again.”
About: I've pets all my life. I have birds Gerbils and guinea pig. My family trust me to take care of there pets while they are gone. I'm currently working remotely from home so I have extra time in my hands. I'm flexible with my schedule. Weekends and nights are open also. I have two dogs and a backyard. They are welcome to walk freely in my home. In your home I will follow your routine with your pet that you prefer.
About: My whole world revolves around animals! Even as a child, I was always trusted with caring for pets of everyone in our large circle of friends and family. I treat all animals and pets as if they are my own. I have many references and lots of experience. I worked as a trainer, groomer, and in the medical field. Five years ago, I pursued my desire to help animals that are not as fortunate to have basic needs such as a home, family, etc. Since then, I contribute to rescue teams at various shelters. I foster frequently- from newborn litters to elderly dogs with special needs. It is always a great time having “extra kids” for a few days. I am currently a full time stay-at-home Dog Mom. I have the capacity day and night to take care of your fur baby. I can accommodate any schedule your dog is used to. I live in my own house with an outdoor fenced backyard. I have extra rooms if your furbaby ever needs some time to decompress. My house is 100% dog proof so your pet will have free range of the entire house! They will be able to choose where they want to sleep at night whether it is on one of the many dogs beds, my bed, or any room of their choice. My house was furnished with the comfort and convenience of the dogs that are here in mind. They are allowed on all furniture.
“Chelsea was amazing & took the time to work with me and my skittish (and scary) pitbull. She is reliable & a natural with dogs. My dog warmed up to her quickly when it typically takes her much longer to become comfortable with people. I will 100% be going to Chelsea for all my dog walks 💗”
“Andrew is so flexible and so accommodating! Love him!”
About: I believe pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I have had many pets and love their companionship and have also included them in my daily routine I’m currently unemployed after 34 years with the same employer, I am dependable and experienced as evidenced by the amount of dedicated service to my former employer. I am responsible and really enjoy the outdoors and including my dog in daily activities outside We walk our German Shepherd daily and play with her in the yard.

About: Important Updates: Our work schedule has changed!!! If you are a repeat beloved client, and would like to discuss availability, please feel free to reach out via inbox. We are not sure yet if we will go back to being at home full-time like we used to, but feel free to ask us :). Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. My husband, David, and I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, we built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention we gave to every pet in our care. Our hearts recently shattered when we lost Bella, our beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught us more than we could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, we extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. We administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets us apart is the personal experience we gained from caring for Bella. We know how to tailor our care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. We always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure we are meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in our clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, we have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, our hearts have been heavy, but we know the presence of other pets will help heal our sadness. We would love the opportunity to share our affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were our own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, we’ll give them the same love and devotion we gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, we’ll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.
“Lakota took amazing care of our animals! We received lots of pictures and were well updated with notes, which was reassuring. She is trustworthy & easy to work with!”
“Cheyenne is great with our dogs! Very reliable and communicative.”
About: I've been a dogwalker for 20 years. I have experience working with many different breeds and I have tremendous patience and am 100 percent committed to making sure your pet is safe and happy. I also am a huge cat lady and devoted mom to my 3 year old kitty Spuds. I love cats and can clean your litter box or watch your cat when you need. I am available throughout the week as well as weekends and nights. Early morning, late and last minute. You can count on my commitment and trust that I will be there when needed. I am focused on the safety and comfort of your pet. When I walk your dog, I will not be on my phone and will always take proper precautions if your dog has special needs. I can let them out in the backyard to go to the bathroom if required. I can even take your pet to veterinary visits if within walking distance. I can feed other pets like aquarium or birds while you work or on vacation. And of course I love cats.
About: I have always been a Caretaker, especially when it comes to animals. I am a comforting person and am able to be calm and gentle for your fur baby(ies)! I am working part-time and freelance, and so I am able to be very flexible and add to my itinerary every day, and I would be happy to! I will be caretaking in the clients' homes.Whether I am house-sitting or pet-sitting, I can assure to follow requests, be invested in seamless check-ins, and be dedicated to taking them out to experience nature and fresh air. I'd like to give pets and owners a comfortable and stress-free environment.
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.
“Great walker very patient and attentive”
About: I have been taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. My neighbors used to pay me to bathe feed walk, and I’ve also had animals since I was younger until now. I have a Yorkie myself, and I also grew up with animals my whole life so it just comes natural to take care of animals on a daily. I have a daily routine, I believe it helps the animals when they are set in a routine .I am very energetic so I love to go to the dog park and go on walks and just play with them 😊 I have a Yorkie who is lovable and playful. I take her on daily walks and I would do the same for your fur baby. I will treat your fur baby just like my own with love affection and lots of attention 🫶🏻.I also have a crate if your animal needs to be crated.
About: I have had several family dogs since I was born and I love constantly being around them. Currently, I work at an animal shelter and spend my days walking and caring for cats and dogs. I enjoy the daily responsibilities of taking care of animals like walking them, washing them, and doing their favorite activity. Rover allows me to meet new furry friends. Your pet will not regret its experience. I work part time at an animal shelter so have mornings free until 2pm. I will be able to check on your pet in the mornings and early afternoons. Your pet will be safe and entertained with me. If we go on a walk or are in a yard with no fence then they will remain on a leash.
