“Joanne was WONDERFUL! I highly recommend her! She is so friendly and responsive . My dog loved her and she was on time when she was supposed to arrive. I had some issues regarding the times after it was booked and she completely understood and was there when I needed her to walk my dog. I know it can be hard trusting someone with your pets, but Joanne is definitely professional and you can trust her 100%.”
About: Hi, my name is Sarah and I am a Surgical Veterinary Technician in Philadelphia, PA. On a daily basis I do everything from triaging dogs and cats for routine and non-routine surgical procedures, monitor anesthesia, recover from surgery, give treatments to sicks pets, as well as give vaccines to healthy pets during wellness appointments. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages as well all different temperaments. I currently work full-time, but only work 3 days a week. As I currently do not have any pets or kids I have the availability to give all of my attention to your furbabies. I own a house with my boyfriend and we currently do not have any pets. Our house is rancher with a large fenced-in yard where your pups have the space to run around. Our neighborhood is very quiet with not much foot traffic which allows your anxious pets to be in a quiet environment.

“We loved Britney! My boys are high anxiety and can be difficult when we’re not around but she handled everything with no issues and made sure they got their medication when needed. Can’t wait to be able to go away again and have peace of mind our boys will be well taken care of.”

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. I currently have two cats who I rescued 6 and 7 years ago, and a 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog who keeps me on my toes! I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, from kittens/puppies to seniors. I will care for your pets, and love them, like I do my own. I am currently working part time so I am fairly flexible most weekdays! I have Monday and Friday completely open, and Tuesday-Thursday partially available. I can pop in for a visit or a walk almost anytime. I am very trustworthy and reliable. You won't have to worry about the safety of your pets or home while I am working for you. I will follow all of your guidelines and wishes, exactly how you want.
“Myranda sat for my two cats and did a great job. My cats are shy but she was able to get pictures each day and one came out during her sit. She is very responsible and followed my instructions (probably too many!) to a T. It was a great comfort to me knowing she was taking care of them while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone with cats or dogs. She’s a gem!!!”

I'm willing to crate if the client prefers while they're alone in the house. I do have a fence in my backyard.
“Buddy does great with Sarah and i’m able to work all day without worrying about how he’s doing at home. She is always punctual and in communication and she always informs me of Buddys activities. She also cleans up any messes such as water spills, carpet chewing, pee pad accidents etc. With her I know i don’t need to worry about Buddy until I get home. Highly recommend as Buddy gets along great with her although he is a picky dog!”

“Danielle has a very laid back energy and our pups warmed up to her very quickly! She communicated well, sent pics & was available short notice. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking!”
“Susan is amazing. Your pet is in good hands if she’s looking after them. My cat adores her and loves the attention, and he doesn’t trust just anybody. We will continue to have her catsit anytime we go on vacation as she’s reliable, communicative, and my cat is so much happier when he has someone he knows to visit while his family is away. 100% recommend.”
“Lynn is an excellent dog sitter! She is very pleasant, caring and compassionate with my little guy Gianni, who is 14 years old, as his hearing and eyesight isn’t what it used to be. Lynn is a great listener and pays attention to all details and will ask questions if she’s not sure. I was at great ease knowing G would be in great hands while I was gone. I will definitely be using Lynn again. And G liked her immediately 🐾😉”

Sharon B.
“If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, my mom is the one. She has a natural way with animals—gentle, patient, and incredibly attentive. She takes the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. She doesn’t just "watch" them—she connects with them. Walks are full of love, playtime is joyful, and routines are followed with care and consistency. She sends thoughtful updates and photos that show just how happy and comfortable the pets are while you're away. My mom is the kind of person who will sit on the floor to comfort a nervous pup. Her calm energy and kind heart make her not only a responsible sitter, but a true companion for your furry loved ones. You won't find anyone more trustworthy, loving, and reliable. She’s a natural!”

Our first time using rover and will definitely be a returning client of Stacey. She was super patient, communicative and attentive to our shy kitty, scarlit. Thank you for everything Stacey!

Samantha is very reliable and friendly, she sent me updates and picture and took good care of my dog and ducks! We booked her for our vacation next month and I feel good knowing I’m leaving my babies in good hands!
Brittany did a fantastic job. She kept me in the loop took sweet pictures and played with my doggos. Recommend!
Danielle did a great job, and came a few days early to meet our dog first so she was a familiar person. We'll definitely use her again!
We have had Ashley care for our two cats every time we go away and she is always caring, conscientious and committed to attention to detail, making sure all their needs are met with fresh water and food. She's the best!
Christian was awesome, I got daily updates about Apollo and everything was perfect. Would definitely book again.
Yajaira is great! She helped us out in a jam with a last minute drop-in visit request. She also provides prompt updates as well as great pictures of the visit. 10/10 Highly recommend her for you and your fur babies.
Kristie is great! Within a week she came to house and met dogs twice to get familiar! We have two large Pitbulls that can be intimidating looking and she did not blink an eye to take care of them! Highly recommended!!
Teresa was excellent and took VERY good care of my pup. I'm very grateful for the excellent service Teresa provided and would recommend to anyone anytime! Thank you again!

Krystal is phenomenal! If I could give 20 stars I would. I have booked this lovely woman twice. First time was for June 8-14th,2024. Second was for Aug 30th-Sep 2nd. Both times she was timely in her response to my request to book her. She followed ALL of my few instructions on how to care for my son Midnight. She is respectful and professional. She was on time for the drop ins. She understood that my boy may be shy at first and is skittish.She understood that he loves to play with lazer and loves treats. She was able to pet and give rubs to him. She made the process of trusting someone in your home, with your pet, comfortable and as easy as can be. Videos and pictures were sent of my boy and of course of Ms.Krystal & him having fun with eachother. I am so happy I found Krystal. Before her I would limit my traveling/vacationing because I was worried about leaving my buddy home. I feel confident that Midnight would be in great hands when I need to travel. Thanks again Krystal! Until next time😊
Katie was great! She took good care of my cats and she was very flexible with their needs. She didn't mind all their little quirks. I'll definitely use her again in the future.
