“Allison did a wonderful job caring for my cat Nyx while I was away. I really enjoyed receiving the pictures and updates. I came back to a well cared for, happy kitty. I will definitely use her services again in the future!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently doing online college, majoring In Biomedical Science! Because of this, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the week and (or) weekends! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house-sitting, and I have reliable transportation. I love staying active and spending time with fur babies, so this fits perfectly into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be one of my top priorities. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, grooming, walks, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal has different types of needs and personalities, so I always take time to make them feel safe and relaxed. I also love to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and in good hands! 🐾
“Thank you so much for coming to see my dogs. I know they were happy to see you. It’s always nice to be able to connect with somebody that you trust and know that your dogs love.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 25 years and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Siberian Huskies and have spent my life around animals, both as a pet owner and caregiver. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs! My experience includes walks, feeding, administering oral medications, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or well-being while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums, including water quality monitoring and tank care, as well as basic indoor plant care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible part-time work schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active through walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking are a rewarding part of my routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs, from feeding schedules and walks to medications and favorite activities. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.
“Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip. She always came to our house at the scheduled time frame, and played around with our two cats together. She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!”

“Kayleigh was amazing! Provided very detailed reports about her visit and was even able to get our shyer cat out and playing during her visit. Would have her come watch our girls anytime!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Rachael to check in on my two cats every day while I was away for 10 days. She’s super communicative and reliable and I would recommend to her anyone and be so happy to work with her again.”

“Kristin responded right away & helped us when we reached out last minute for pet care. Not only did she accept the request within 24 hours; she also made herself available that very evening for an introduction visit. She is very thorough and asks questions that instill confidence.”


About: Hello, I’d love to help you with your pet needs and give your pets lots of love, potty breaks, exercise and make sure they are cared for, happy and safe when you are not home. I love animals! I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with Chihuahua’s. Our family had several over the years. Then I had a Cockapoo who lived to 16 yrs old, he was sick, but we cared for him and he still lived a long wonderful life! I currently have a 6 year-old chocolate lab named Maggie. She’s super energetic and brings a special love to our home. We also have a new member to our family, a cat named Suma…she’s beautiful and very playful! I'd describe my personality as kind, caring, organized, and helpful. I’m currently available for early morning, drop-in visits, also quick 30 minute lunch break visits and/or anytime after 5pm to care for your pets! I provide reliable, attentive care by following each pet’s routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own home.
“Amanda took great care in making sure my three cats (and two goldfish) were happy and healthy. She was a trooper cleaning some "presents" they left for her, too. I definitely recommend her.”
“Oh my goodness! She is the absolute best! I stressed all night before because I didn’t want to leave my pup while I was at work for 12 hours. Lindsay helped me set up a time and she arrived perfectly! She gave him a walk and spent so much time with him! I cannot thank her enough and will be hiring her again. I highly highly recommend her. She is absolutely amazing!”

About: I have had several dogs and cats in my adult life. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats and one ferret. I am working with a dog trainer to assist my dogs getting along with my new rescue. I currently have a full time job from 8-4 in West Chester. I can come on the following days: Monday, Tuesday, Fridays, and weekends any time. I will stick to your schedule best I can. I will come and take the dogs for a walk, play and snuggle time. I will scoop poop in the yard. I will change the litter box and not force the cats to snuggle. If they want it, they can.
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”

“Lauren was amazing with my cat Hugo and enjoyed daily care and cuddles with her. Having Lauren Check-in was a comforting and she sent photos to us daily. Thanks again for your help and time with Hugo.”

“As a Rover caretaker myself, this was my first time hiring someone to take care of my animals. Rosie was amazing and went above and beyond for my babies. I highly recommend her!”

“Ally was a great caretaker for our two furballs. Thank you for the great communication, excellent reports and all the lovely photos. We were so grateful that they were in such good care.”

Yerkes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie was great with the cats and taking care of them while we were gone. There’s not too many people outside of family we trust taking care of our pets. Natalie made sure to administer Harley’s medicine as needed and took time to interact with them. Would highly recommend Natalie to anyone and would use her in the future

Valerie had great communication and follow up. We did a meet and greet prior to her doing her drop in visits. Macaroni liked her, and I thought she was very friendly and clearly a dog person. She provided details of Macaroni during her visit and very cute photos!

Allison provided my 16 year old sweet kitty with loving care during my 5 day trip away. My cat isn’t used to my being away overnight so I was a little concerned about how he’d handle it. Allison made 2 drop-in visits every day. She sent me detailed reports of how he was acting and eating, as well as, multiple pics of him after every visit. He looked pretty content in the pics and when I got home he seemed like his old self. But especially happy to see me. Allison is a cat lover who I would highly recommend.

Kristin is incredibly trustworthy and reliable. She is very communicative and our dogs immediately felt at ease and excited to meet her when she first came by to meet with me and to learn more about them. We will definitely continue to have Kristin help with our pets when the needs arise.
