“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”
“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”
“Adam is great! We had a family emergency out of state and he was able to last minute come watch our animals. He always sends pictures and his commentary of our animals always makes us chuckle!”
“Briana was available on short notice when I had to be away for a funeral. I appreciated her willingness to be flexible. She took all my instructions in stride. She was very communicative and sent several photos. And most importantly, I came home to a happy, healthy dog! Briana is definitely on my go-to list in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing, such a sweetheart and very communicative, took amazing care of my baby boys and did it last minute for me which I appreciate so much. She is so amazing and genuinely cares for the pups. House was clean, pups were happy, and they were fed 🤍🤍”
About: I’ve lived with dogs/cats my entire life. I have checked in, played, fed, given meds and potty breaks to dogs of two other families before. STARTING AUGUST 18: I will be starting my clinical rotations at WellSpan hospitals and other sites. This means during weekdays I will not be available from 6am-3:30pm or even later depending what site I am at that day (i have rotations in Gettysburg). Weekends I am available unless said otherwise! Thank you! I’m a college student on summer break, so I’m available a lot of the time! I let out and play with another dog during weekday mornings, so anytime after that! Although I have an unfenced yard, I live on a dead end road with not a lot of traffic. I have a huge field behind my house where I can play with your pets. I have a friendly Springer Spaniel who can keep your dog company. I can easily crate if needed. Will not walk or let dogs out to potty without a leash. Will play unleashed in field.
“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!”
“Billie just watched my dog for two days and again I am blown away with her service. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy active and attended to. Absolutely the best so happy to work with her.”
“Hannah was once again amazing and took great care of our dogs while we were away. She did great with providing updates and sent lots of pics to make being away from our pups a little easier 😊”
“Christina was outstanding. She knew my dogs were my babies and treated them like they were her own. She was prompt, did all I requested and kept me informed. I will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
“What a great experience! My boys loved Kiah from the moment they met her. She takes care of humans too by letting me know how they were doing, and sending photos often. I will definitely be booking with Kiah again!”
“Abby did a wonderful job!!! My dog and cat were very well taken care of! She sent me updates and pictures of my pets while I was on vacation so I knew that they were in good hands and happy and content at home while I was away. Would highly recommend!!!”
“Casey was an excellent sitter. She followed all the rules for our two dogs and communication was consistent. Our Chihuahua is not the easiest to care for, but Casey was patient with our little guy and he definitely warmed up to her quickly. I will definitely be contacting her for future bookings.”
“Dominique was so responsive and flexible! I booked a Rover service to watch my dog on my wedding day. She was so accommodating and arrived right in schedule! She helped keep me at ease giving my updates so that I could enjoy my wedding day!”
