“Marissa & Kevin are incredible! They took the time to understand what we were working on with our pup and even trained him while he stayed there. They are so kind - we felt very comfortable leaving our pup with them. Would recommend!”
“Lauren and Hunter were amazing with our dog during a week of boarding. It was our first time using Rover and they made the pocess super easy and sent us picture updates everyday. When I picked up my dog, she felt so at home at their place she barked when I knocked. I will definitely ask Lauren and Hunter for help again the next time we need a sitter. Give them a try, your dog will love it!”
“Alexis took care of our Lola for an extended period of time, and did an amazing job! She sent us pictures/videos everyday, of our puppy and we’re definitely gonna have her dog sit Lola again if we ever need it!”
About: I have had dogs all of my 40 plus years on this planet. They are a blessing! I have been relied upon to watch dogs for about 25 years and have walked, bathed, fed them, etc... I currently own a chihuahua named Peanut. She is my world! I work from 9-5pm so I can do nights and weekends. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! They will be safe with me. I will keep your pet safe and sound while you are away. I will send lots of pictures too! I appreciate your business, and I look forward to meeting you.
“I cannot say enough great things about Kara. This was our first time boarding with her and it was the best experience. She was responsive and kind! We met prior to my dog boarding with her and he loved her and her dogs. During his stay, she provided daily updates even with pictures which was a nice touch and she was very responsive if I messaged her. My dog was so happy to be there and seems like he felt at home which was important to me. When I picked him up, he was so tired from all the playing! Thank you so much Kara! Oliver would love to stay with you again.”
“You can't ask for more in a Rover! There were people that were a little closer to home, and some that cost a few dollars less, but the extra time and money could not have been more worth it! This dude's skill with animals and loving nature were apparent from the start, and he gave our girl a warm and caring place to stay while we got married, and we couldn't be more grateful!”
“Wow! This was our first experience using a boarding service for our little one. I was nervous but the nerves disappeared as soon as my pup met Makeba who adored her. It was such a smooth drop-off! There were other dogs there which I loved because Heidi loves to play and needs to be around at her dogs to learn from them. I was sent pictures and comments throughout the day that truly were right on time and made me feel good. When I picked Heidi up she was so calm with satisfaction. She rested the entire ride home (2.5 hours). She must have had a BALL!!!! Thanks Makeba for watching Heidi on such short notice and making her feel at home. I will definitely be using you again for future Jersey/Philly visits.”

“Paige and Nolan were so nice to look after Bertie while we were away over a weekend. They both work with animals professionally, so we felt really comfortable knowing she was in good hands. They were flexible, easy to communicate with, and took great care of her. We’d definitely book with them again!”
“Bear and Bailee had another GREAT 😊 stay with Julianna!!! They were with her for 4 nights and she took really good care of them. I felt entirely comfortable leaving them with her! My pups can be a bit clingy at time and my Bear-Bear can be a little moody and he had a great time with her mom 😊. I am so grateful to have found Julianna. ♥️”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Bob while we were away. You took the stress out of going away knowing he was enjoying his time with you. We can’t thank you enough! - The McCauleys”

“Glenda was absolutely amazing! She immediately made Harper feel right at home and was in constant communication, which helped put our worries at easy leaving our pup overnight for the first time. Glenda is such a kinda woman who clearly loves dogs and takes wonderful care of them ranging from multiple walks per day, play time, and snuggles. I absolutely will have her watch Harper again when we’re in the Philly area next. 100% recommend her to watch your pup!”

About: I grew up with a male Shih Tzu that I took care of for most of my life! I enjoyed playing with him and taking him on walks. I've also helped my sister raise her female Shih Tzu. I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I have a light class load this semester and a good amount of free time. If your pet requires a specific schedule please let me know ahead of time. I love interacting with dogs and spending time with them. I am very active and have a lot of free time, so playing with them will be no problem for me. I live near Clark Park and the Schuylkill River so I can take active dogs on long walks.
“Katie was such a fantastic sitter. She was so reasonably priced, kind, caring, flexible, considerate, and communicative. I could go on forever about how marvelous Katie was. I was last minute looking for a sitter for New Year's Eve weekend and she was available, and I am so glad I chose to book her. I would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat! She took awesome care of my puppy, Walter, for the few days I was unable to be home with him. I received plenty of text updates and pictures from Katie of my dog and even pictures of him getting along with her dogs as well. Her dogs and mine took such a liking to each other during his stay, I felt bad taking him back home! She followed my usual routine with him and had great patience for his puppy antics. I would say she even made some progress with him and his housebreaking which is amazing. Katie really went above and beyond, she even was willing to come pick up my dog from my apartment the first day. I couldn't have been more grateful for Katie as a dog sitter. Walter and I look forward to having her sit for us again! Thank you again, Katie! :) Book her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
I couldn't be happier with the care Yajaira provided for my dog, Baxter. He stayed with her for two weeks while we were away, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It's such a relief to know you can travel without worrying about your pet. I highly recommend Yajaira and would gladly trust her with Baxter again.
Stephen and his lovely family truly treated Zora like she was one of their own! I loved all the photos and was thrilled to see her getting out some zoomies in their backyard. It really was a special little vacation for her. Communication was prompt and clear leading up to and during her stay, and Stephen was very accommodating when I needing to make some changes to the reservation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again…and I know Zora will be thrilled to come back!
Madi took incredible care of our best girl Lilo while my husband and I were getting married in Mexico!! it was so reassuring that we received pictures everyday of her having a ball with Madi. she has a giant, fully enclosed yard for your pup to run around in which was also a huge plus! we will certainly be booking with Madi again for our next trip!! highly recommend 💙
Ritch watched our boxer mix while we were out of the country for a week. Ritch really knows what he's doing while pet sitting. His professionalism and communication allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet. He knew how to make our dog comfortable and safe. We'd definitely bok again!
Danielle was amazing! You can tell she absolutely loves animals. We could tell just from meeting her that Cannon and Chup were in good hands when we boarded them. We requested to board last minute and she was great about it. Danielle sent plenty of updates as well.
Very satisfied with Melissa! She was very responsive and patient with my dog. She has a really nice big yard, which I loved! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request and even kept my dog an extra day due to a change in my schedule. I’m very grateful for her flexibility and the care she provided. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again!
