“Chrisie was AH-MAZING!! We were in a pinch 8 hours from home and seeing how our baby weighs 162 pounds, finding a caretaker isn't the eaiest of tasks! Even with 5 dogs under 15 pounds in her home she was still willing to atleast give us a meet & greet. The meet went great and Maysen proceeded to stay with Chrisie that weekend! She treated him with Love & Gentleness that you would Not get from a kennel!! Thank you Chrisie for taking such good care of our baby and leaving is worry free! Highly recommended!!”


“Our dog Ginger stayed with Sarah for the weekend when we had a family wedding that brought us to the area. Sarah was super quick to respond to all communication which was really nice and made me comfortable. She sent updates, photos and was flexible with timing adjustments. More significantly, Ginger went right up to Sarah and felt relaxed and comfortable —she walked inside without pining for me. Even when I arrived to pick up Ginger, she must have enjoyed her stay as she didn’t rush right back to me.”

About: I have three doggies of my own and I love them with all my heart. I have experience walking feeding and playing with my own dogs as well as neighbors and friends dogs. I’m also comfortable with baths and distributing medications. I trained both of my dogs when they were puppies so if I’m watching a puppy and you need me to practice some simple tricks with him/her I’m able to do that for you. I work full time 9-5 so I am available for early morning walks and evening visits!! I am always available Saturdays and Sundays after church! I’m very vigilant when letting dogs outside even if a client has a fenced in yard. If there’s no fence I will take the dogs out on a leash. I have a good memory and I write important things down, especially special instructions you may have for me to take care of your furry friend. For boarding: I currently live in a small apartment in a city apartment building, but there are plenty of nearby outdoor options for dogs. There are sidewalks all around the building for regular walks, a grassy area directly across the street, and a small patch of grass behind the building for quick potty breaks. Kirby Park is also right across the street, which is perfect for longer walks, fresh air, and exercise in a safe, open space. There are no animals living with me currently and I will only board one dog at a time, unless they come from the same family!
“Perfect visit for our pup! Brittany is always so accommodating with our needs and adjusts to our schedule. We feel very fortunate that we found her to take care of our dog.”

“Jennifer and Jon were fantastic!! Our 8 month old King Charles Spaniel was taken care of and treated like family. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend and were kept updated about Maisy’s activities. It was wonderful to go away for the weekend and have no worries that our puppy was in great hands. We will definitely have our precious puppy stay with them again!! We give Jennifer and Jon our highest recommendation without reservation!!”

“Lisa and her family always take such good care of my dog Jazzy! She stays in touch with me letting me know that he was okay while I attended a very special wedding. He loves her children and especially her dog, Marie. Thanks again Lisa for all you do to take care of my dog! I will be calling on her again!!”

“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”

“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”

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.
“Sairy was amazing with Dutchie for a 6 night stay. Very flexible with pick up/drop off as well as communicative with picture and videos. I was able to relax on vacation knowing he was in Sairy’s care. Thank you again Sairy!”

“Rochelle is an excellent dog sitter. She constantly keeps you updated and she took such good care of our dog bron. Bron isn’t the easiest dog to handle either! We really appreciate what she did. She is very highly recommended. We will be booking with her again.”
“I left my dog, Jax, with Bryan while we were away on vacation. I had such anxiety about being away from him for so long but Bryan put my mind at ease! I received pictures several times a day and Jax looked so happy! He was extremely quick to respond to messages and I could check in with him at any point throughout the day. I would highly recommend Bryan! He took PHENOMENAL care of Jax and loved and cared for him like we do!!”

“Joann and Angelina were amazing with our dog! My Sully is a very anxious pup and attached to his humans. This makes it hard to leave him with someone new. Joann and Angelina made this difficult thing to do so much easier! Joann texted me throughout the day and even sent me some pictures to assure me that he was okay. Oh and their dog Remi is such a sweet boy and loves people and was so good with accepting my dog as well. Our day went longer than we expected and Joann and Angelina were willing to help out longer than expected. I am so thankful to them for taking care of my dog and will definitely book with them again when needed.”

“Tara was wonderful with my Boston Terrier, Roo, over Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t have been happier. Roo stayed at her home and was treated like family. I especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos she sent—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little girl!”

Wilkes-Barre pet parents share their Rover experiences
Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!

Our dog Ginger stayed with Sarah for the weekend when we had a family wedding that brought us to the area. Sarah was super quick to respond to all communication which was really nice and made me comfortable. She sent updates, photos and was flexible with timing adjustments.

Anna was very kind great communication kept me updated about my puppy. Happy and huskies are a handful.. She babysat my baby happy for four days you can rell she was happy also big bonus my dog would pull me down the street when i would walk her after being with anna she syopped yanking me down the street. I definitely will be booking again very soon

Adam was the best! Not only was he super flexible with my timing he was an excellent communicator and took fantastic care of my dog Winnie. He sent me lots of pictures and it was clear she was getting a lot of love and when I came to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave. And that’s because when you book with Adam, your pet gets his attention and his 2 lovely kids, who are also big pet lovers. Will definitely use again!
