About: My name is Sophia and I have loved animals since I was little. I have 3 fur babies myself! Brandy, Bourbon and Whisky (my little bar cart if you will). I also have a rabbit named Toast and all 4 of them are the light of my life. Every morning I wake up and they greet me with kisses and demands for pets. Of course I always give in. I have a bachelors in large animal sciences, have volunteered at forgotten cats for years, and have worked in emergency, oncology and dermatology departments. Currently I work at another veterinary clinic that helps dogs and cats get quick emergency care for more minor issues like ear infections. With all my past experience your fluffy ones will be in good hands! Since I work during week days and sometimes weekends, I would try to be back with your pet(s) as much as possible! (I work a total of 4 days a week and my schedule can be random since I’m in veterinary emergency). Weekdays I work 3pm -11pm and weekends I would work 10am-8pm. Any other time would be spent taking your pet on walks, brushing out their fur, giving them treats and all the attention they deserve! I can stay with/walk pets before work on weekdays. Weekends I would be unable to walk them unless you are okay with my hours and I am doing overnight or long term pet sitting. I would take your dogs for walks or let them out into the yard as much as possible. I will follow instructions left by you and make sure to give many updates and pictures! I believe pictures are the best way to feel comfortable with your pets care while also getting those cute pet moments while your away!
“Sofia took care of junior for us while we took a last minute trip. She was always on time and very communicative about how Junior was doing. Thank you for taking care of our baby for us!”
“Natalie was amazing with my dog!! I felt so at ease knowing she was there to walk Lily. She brought water on long walks and took plenty of pictures and my dog seemed so happy!”
About: Hi, I’m Jessie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and a passion for caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—everything from dogs and cats to reptiles, fish, and hamsters. I have experience pet sitting for dogs/cats of all breeds and sizes, and I pride myself on making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I always keep you in the loop with regular updates, pictures, and texts. Whether it's belly rubs, playtime, or just some quiet cuddles, I’ve got your pets covered! I am in between jobs so have flexible availability. I structure my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they have consistent walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. I want to ensure the process is as stress-agree as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, walked or exercised regularly, and given plenty of attention, love, and playtime.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally. I’ve spent time with all kinds of breeds and personalities, and I know how to read each dog’s needs, whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space to a nervous pup, or just knowing when they want to play versus rest. I treat every dog like my own. I am in the office four days a week. My wife works from home full time and takes care of our two dogs at home. We are available to take care of your dogs any day of the week whether it’s a day visit or overnight boarding. We have two dogs that are great with other dogs. We have an unfenced yard but can easily walk your dog on a leash around the yard or the nearby park. If your dog does not get along with other dogs, we are fully flexible with creating separation in the house to make sure all dogs are comfortable. We have experience with all types of dogs with different personalities and will provide a great environment for you dog(s).
About: Within the last few years I dog sat for my aunt and my neighbor, but a year ago I’ve gotten more serious with it as I do it as a side hustle now. I have experience pet sitting dogs cats rats and even rabbits. I am in my senior year at West Chester but will be commuting from my home in Phoenixville. I am only taking 3 classes this semester, but I am also an intern in Norristown where 2 days (Tuesday/wednesday) I will have an 8 hour day. On the weekends I have a part time job in Phoenixville but I can call off to watch your animals if given enough notice. If the dogs are okay with long days on Tuesday’s and Wednesdays, please reach out I’d love to figure it out! I currently am only offering care at the clients home but I will make sure to keep yours clean as I like my environment to feel safe and organized.
“Millie loves her walks with Tim! I booked Tim last minute for a couple walks and he was very responsive and accommodating. My dog was so happy to see him and was sad every time he left. I’ll definitely book Tim again for future walks!”
About: I have had seven dogs throughout my life and currently have a friendly 7-year-old Beagle. I have also pet-sat dogs for family and friends over the years. Caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently don’t work and I am home all day so I can be with your dog most of the day and let them out frequently. I have a big fenced yard and like to walk dogs. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and responsibility that I would want for my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and communicate with the owner regularly so they know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

I would do the same for your pups as well:)
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
Tim has been absolutely amazing with my German Shorthaired Pointer. As a high-energy breed, she requires a lot of exercise and attention, and Tim consistently goes above and beyond to make sure she gets both. He takes her on long walks, keeps her engaged, and genuinely cares for her like she’s his own. She’s always excited to see him and comes home happy, well-exercised, and well cared for. Tim is reliable, trustworthy, and great at communicating, giving me complete peace of mind whenever she’s with him. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog. 10/10 !

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
