“Julie was amazing! She house sat with our fur babies for a week. We got lots of updates and pictures. She took our pooch for walks every day and gave everyone lots of love and cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and Christina was so amazing to our two boys!!! She was easy to get in touch with and provided a lot of pictures of the cats! When we came home the boys were calm and happy!!! Will definitely be using her again!!!! Highly recommend 🥰”
“Porsche was a top tier babysitter. She watched our fur children for a total of ten days and they loved her! Our reticent cat left her perch and would follow her around for pets! Porsche is definitely a pet whisper and her love of animals is clear in all of her interactions with them. Would 1000% want her to pet sit again.”
“The best! Emily was reliable, responsible, and considerate. She left the house exactly as she found it and our dogs were well cared for. We are already planning her next stay.”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats and birds my entire life and have experience with smaller breeds all the way up to giant breed dogs. I’ve been involved in rescue for the past 15 years and have a lot of experience with special needs pets of all kinds. I can administer medications, including injectable medications, and I work in veterinary medicine. I do this because of my love animals and it brings me joy for people to know that their pets are getting top-notch care when they are away. I know how important it is to be able to relax when you’re away and not have to worry about your pets. I have tons of references available up upon request as well :) I work at an animal hospital during the day (8-4) M-F but am available to stay in your home, or to do drop in visits before and after those hours. On weekends I am available to be there all day. I can also make special arrangements during the week upon request. I pet sit for many people with very specific instructions for their babies and I follow them exactly as asked. I have lots of experience with special needs pets whose morning and evening routine takes a lot of time and I am more than happy to accommodate and make sure everything is exactly as requested. Experienced with caring for multiple pets as well.
“We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!”
About: I have years of experience caring for and watching pets of family members. I love animals and animals love me! I am very precise and careful when it comes to animal care. I am available 7 days a week and have no problem spending ample amount of time to ensure your pet is not only cared for, but loved and happy. I am very energetic and outgoing and love to keep pets entertained. I can accommodate any needs while ensuring your pet has fun! I am also very organized, cleanly, and respectful of other peoples’ space. I am willing to go the extra mile: bringing in mail, washing sheets, watering plants, etc. to make your return from travel as relaxing as possible.
“Marilyn was wonderful with our dogs. They warmed up to her right away and they got along great together. When I asked her to come a bit sooner than originally planned, she immediately agreed saying it wouldn’t be an issue. We went over everything I had written down and all went well”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for pets since I was a child. I have hands-on experience walking and feeding dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I truly enjoy the energy and companionship they bring. I’m also comfortable with all the essentials—playtime, cleanup, and making sure your pup feels happy and loved while you're away. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for cats for years and currently share my home with two playful brothers, Toby and KitKat, who are 5 years old. Whether it’s a tail-wagging walk or quiet cuddle time, I treat every pet like family. I'm currently working a part-time job in the evenings while saving up for college. I’ll be starting a nursing program in Philadelphia this fall! As a lifelong animal lover, I’d love to spend some of my time caring for pets. When caring for dogs, I like to keep them within sight to make sure they stay safe and out of trouble. I also pay close attention to their behavior, like standing by the door or near their food bowl, so I can respond promptly to their needs. With cats, I respect their independent nature, allowing them the space to do their own thing while making sure they always have fresh food, clean water, and a tidy litter box.
“Simona was incredible with our dog Beau! We had to look for a sitter very last minute and she agreed to a week long stay with very little notice. She was professional, sent us daily updates, and took great care of him. Beau is a senior dog who has special medical needs and she was fantastic with that as well. We would recommend Simona to anyone looking for a sitter and hope to use her again in the future!”
“20/10 recommend! Ari gave us constant updates and photos which really put us at ease. He came for a meet and greet at our home before the stay and was very reassuring. Our babies so obviously loved him and our apartment was exactly how we left it. Will definitely book again!”
“Julia was a fantastic dog-sitter and we would definitely hire her again. She took great care of the dogs, sent pictures and updates, left the house tidy, and even wrote a thank you note with the cutest picture of the pups!”
“We booked Justine last minute for an overnight trip. She was on time and I think she handled our big and strong dog well. We were in a rush to get out and she even did the dishes we left in the sink! Thanks again!”
About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.
About: I have experience in caring for small and medium breed dogs ( french bulldog, pincher, dachshund , beagle ) it is can be puppies or senior dogs. At the moment I have a lot of free time and will be happy to take care of your pet. Available any day of the week. I ensure safe and happy walks, give lots of love and attention, and follow your instructions carefully. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities.

Dawn L.
“Dawn treats my pets like they are her own. She has managed a difficult routine for our 3 special needs dogs and cat, digesting detailed instructions and executing methodically and compassionately for their individual needs. She spends time with each of them on their own terms, ensuring they have plenty of playtime, potty breaks, exercise, special diets and meds, and snuggle sessions just as if we were home. She is a great communicator, sending us regular photo updates, and she leaves our home spotless. All in all, Dawn is a conscientious and compassionate petsitter that I would recommend wholeheartedly.”

Nataliia B.
“I'm pleased to recommend Nataliia here! I’ve left my dog Tibo with her several times, and every single one I felt completely at ease. She’s incredibly responsible and knows exactly how to behave with dogs. What I love the most is that I can trust her with my dog. I know for sure, that there’s no harshness or violence in the way she handles him. Tibo was always safe, happy, and had plenty of activities. Nataliia is amazing, if you’re looking for someone who truly cares about how your pet feels while you are away, she’s the one!”
