“Christy is a fantastic dog watcher. She stayed at my house and took excellent care of my rescue who has separation anxiety while I was on vacation. I would definitely use Christy again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Trishelle came last minute to housesit my senior dog and I was so thankful! It was so great to know that Ben was comfortable at home and happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Caroline was amazing! She was so caring and sweet to my furbaby over the weekend. She provided constant updates with messages and pictures and my cat was really comfortable and happy with her. She’s super professional and I would definitely recommend her.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Lauren! She took on the challenge of caring for my 5 dogs — including 2 rambunctious puppies and 1 who can be aggressive toward them — and handled it all flawlessly. She kept everyone safe, happy, and comfortable the entire time. She sent me regular updates and adorable pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, my dogs were relaxed (not stressed at all, which says everything about the care they received), and my house looked spotless — you wouldn’t have even known anyone had been here. She was absolutely perfect, and I feel so lucky to have found someone so trustworthy, responsible, and caring. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter who will treat your pets like her own.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have been around dogs for most of my life. Over the past two years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting, making sure they stay happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, including pet care, plant care, and general home upkeep. I keep communication open so owners feel completely at ease knowing their pet is being looked after with love and care. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I’m able to work from other homes when house sitting, and I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works well for both you and your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care without disrupting their normal routine, while giving them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. When I care for pets in your home, I make sure they stay on their usual routine and feel comfortable in their space. I keep everything tidy, follow instructions closely, and provide regular updates so you always know how things are going. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll have a calm, comfortable environment with no other pets or children — just plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I ensure they have a safe space to relax, regular walks or playtime, and lots of care while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same love and attention I’d hope for my own.
“Kiah was awesome- super fast communication, came back to a clean house and happy pets (2 dogs and a cat). They were well taken care of and we could relax on our vacation. Will definitely use again!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Emma and I have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I grew up around mostly cats and dogs, and have gained valuable experience handling, caring for, and interacting with them. I have a cat of my own currently and I’ll be sure to care for your pets as if they were my own kitty at home, and that means they’ll get the best care as possible as my cat is my best friend, so this means I am especially great with cats! I look forward to meeting with all you future pet owners! I currently have a wide open schedule. I live home alone and don’t have many things to worry about, so my cat takes up more of my time than anything else. So cats are indeed my specialty! At home I make sure my cat has a clean litter box, filled food and water bowls, and a clean environment overall to live in.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care and attention I give to each pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to tailor my care to match. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentleness, and sometimes extra medical or mobility support. Beyond basic care, I’m reliable, communicative, and always send regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s active play, structured walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure pets feel comfortable and loved. I work full time on second shift (4pm-12am). So while you're at work during the day, I can be with your furry friends giving them the love and affection they need! When caring for pets, my top priority is always their safety and comfort. In my home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment that’s clean, calm, and free of hazards. I make sure pets have plenty of space to relax, fresh water at all times, and the right balance of exercise and downtime to keep them happy. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect your space as much as I care for your pet. I follow your routines closely so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secured. I keep a watchful eye during walks, avoiding unsafe areas and making sure leashes and harnesses are properly fitted. Above all, I want you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, responsible hands.
“Erin was amazing! We were out of state for a wedding the weekend of July 4th and Erin took great care of our two dogs, dealing with 2 nights of fireworks and very scared pups. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pics. We appreciate her ensuring the safety and well being of our dogs and managing their anxiety during all the noise. Thank you Erin!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our two very rambunctious dogs. She sent frequent updates and pics and went above and beyond taking care of them and our house. She even had to deal with a leaking sink and made sure all was well. Would recommend her for any services. Came home without any added stress to deal with at our house. Couldn’t have asked for better!”
About: I am a life time animal lover. I understand the dedication it takes to provide care for a fur family member! I have experience with all kinds of animals, from cats to horses. I love ALL breeds and have experience with large, strong dogs as well. I am also experienced with animals who need "space" or to be kept separated from others. I even provide doggie running for those hard to tire dogs! I can do any time on weekends- and am open to super early or evening times on week days. A tired and stimulated animal is a happy one! Let me ease your pet care worries! After struggling to find suitable pet care myself, I decided to start providing it for others.
“Ashton was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to him almost immediately and he was very thoughtful in their care. He was very responsive and prudent with being on time and keeping them on a schedule. Also left the house exactly how he found it which was a huge relief being able to come home to a clean house! Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I am an outdoor gal and love to be outside. If your dog likes to run, I would love to take them on a run with me! Weekends are when I have the most time to focus on providing quality care and attention to the pets I look after. I make sure every pet gets individual attention and plenty of love while keeping their routines consistent. Since my weekends are more flexible, I can accommodate longer visits, extra walks, or last-minute bookings. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I will always treat every pet like my own. I have been extremely active with all of our dogs that we have ever had, taking them to local parks in the area and any dog-friendly areas in town. I have always fed our dogs organic dog food and homemade dog treats :)
About: I have taken care of pets of my neighbors, friends and family whenever needed. I have always looked at other pets as my own. I have experience with older pets and younger pets and I have never met a pet that did not like me. :) I am currently working part time and I work from home. My schedule is very flexible. I am able to make time to take care of your pets needs. I live in a gated apartment building that has a fenced in yard with multiple locations for dogs to play. I also love next to a walking path with a dog park.
“Allison was amazing! this was my first time leaving my puppy alone and doing this app and she cleared all my worries. i got constant messages and videos/pictires!! i couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”

Jessica is such a great communicator, and as someone who used Rover for the first time AND left my 4 month old puppy alone for the first time, this was an extra step that gave me so much reassurance. She was also incredibly flexible with her schedule, which helped a lot as we needed services to attend a wedding and we aren’t from Pennsylvania. I couldn’t thank her enough!
Ashton was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to him almost immediately and he was very thoughtful in their care. He was very responsive and prudent with being on time and keeping them on a schedule. Also left the house exactly how he found it which was a huge relief being able to come home to a clean house! Would absolutely recommend!
We hired Nimo to house sit our cat for nine days. She is a joy to work with. She took great care of our cat. She followed our instructions, responded to our messages, and sent us loads of adorable pictures of our cat. We could tell that she loves animals. We feel comfortable trusting her with our cat and would recommend her to anyone!
Kate has by far been the BEST dog sitter we have ever had. Her communication was top notch and our dogs were given the royal treatment while we were gone. Not once did we think "are they ok", she was a step ahead of us with every update. We can't wait to use Kate again.
Alexis was a great communicator and she took good care of my 2 little buddies. I have a very picky eater and she got him to eat. She also honored all of my requests and I’m super thankful that she came through for us without a lot of notice. I would definitely recommend Alexis.😀
