“Caitlin took care of our high energy, senior pitbull while we went away! She was very communicative and thorough. She patiently learned our dog's commands and habits and kept her safe while walking (she is reactive). We came home to a happy pup and well taken care of house. Will definitely book again!”


About: I’ve had years of caring for pets growing up in the Poconos. Now in Philly, I’m excited to bring my relaxed and fun mountain vibes to a new community of pet lovers! I will always treat others pets like my own - I look forward to hearing from you! I am a work from home professional, so I always have good flexibility to make sure your pets needs are prioritized - I always have pockets in my day to check on them! I am always very respectful in other people’s space, I will ensure your pets get the best care while also making sure the house in order! I will take any instructions to heart and treat your pets as if they were my own.

“Nikki was immediately responsive to my last minute emergency request and I cannot express my gratitude for her enough!! She was incredibly sweet and understanding, very flexible, and took fantastic care of my animals. She was truly a savior to us in our time of need and I would gladly book her again in the future!”


“Amber was amazing from our first messages to when we got back home. She took excellent care of our sweet dog, took him on at least two walks per day, played with him and provided lots of photos and updates every evening. Our house was in even better condition than we left it. Communication was easy and prompt. I want to take more short trips now that we have a trusted dog sitter. I highly recommend Amber.”



“We’ve had Dana petsit our cat & dog a few times. Dana is awesome. Dana has shown our pets so much love and care and given us a lot of encouragement when we want to travel, knowing that our pets will be happy and safe!!!!!! Seriously, the best!”


“Jasmine is the absolute sweetest! She stayed at my house with my pittie, Sam, and they were instant BFFs. She sent over detailed updates, photos, and the house looked even better than when I left. Will absolutely ask her to come back next time Sam needs a sitter! Thank you so much, Jasmine!”


“Ryan was an excellent house sitter for our dog and hamster. He sent detailed updates and Photos every day and left our very house clean. Our dog seems very well cared for and happy upon our return. Thank you, Ryan!”


“Logan was awesome. Super communicative with my partner while I was incommunicado, took great care of my house, and even took Ruby on some extra field trips out of the city to stretch her legs. I came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Thank you for taking such great care of Arlo! Kayla was super communicative and friendly to work with. She’s a natural with dogs and was very attentive to what Arlo needed. Can’t recommend enough!”


“Barbara was so great to work with - leading up to our vacation, she was incredibly flexible to meet our dog and walk him several times. She even accommodated us when our travel plans changed last minute. My dog loved her and she followed his routine to a T. She’s incredibly kind, responsive, and very obviously a dog mom herself. We’ll always look to rebook with her again if we’re able to in the future!”


“Christina was a great fit for our two senior dogs. Both are reactive and have leash anxiety, so having someone calm and comfortable with energetic dogs was essential. We’d definitely book her again.”



“Hannah was great. we had some last minute changes in our plans and she adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. She checked in each day with how things were going and sent pics of the dogs. We felt that they were in good hands. I can enthusiastically recommend her.”


“Larry watched our 2 senior pups for a long weekend. We were nervous as this was our first time using Rover but Larry made it a breeze! He came out for a meet and greet and read through my overly detailed instructions ahead of time. He sent us daily pics and updates and even brought the mail in. We have never come home to such chilled out dogs after a trip. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking for some quality care for their pets.”


“Deanna was excellent in taking care of our dog. She had great communication sent daily updates and pictures. She was also very caring. She stayed longer than the original booking due to our dog getting sick. I would definitely book her again.”


“Maddie was great! I was worried about my dog being able to warm up to someone new, but they seemed to bond, and Maddie kept us updated throughout the weekend with texts and pictures. Would highly recommend her.”


“Abby is amazing! Our girl was happy and healthy when we returned home. She provided daily updates and pics, which was great. We look forward to using her again!”


About: While I grew up with and love dogs, my wife’s allergies prevent us from getting one of our own - I joined rover to hang with some cool pups and to help make sure I get my daily steps in! I work as an independent consultant and work from home, so I have flexibility during the day to help with short/long walks, trips to Wissahickon Park, or to head to one of the local dog parks, etc.. I live in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia over by Walnut Lane Golf Course. Prefer to stay in the local area (short drive is OK). In the past I've had a variety of big and small dogs ranging for dachshunds, to chihuahuas, to golden doodles, to labradors. So big or small, I'm happy to help care for your pup! I currently work as an independent consultant, so I have flexibility to schedule around my fur friends needs. I do occasionally travel for backpacking trips or to see friends, however you’ll have plenty of advance notice. Each pet and their needs are unique, whether it’s a nice long walk or a good long scratch, I’ll be sure to follow your regimen to ensure your pet’s needs are met.

“Meredith took great care of our pooch! She gave us regular updates with pictures. Our house looked spotless. She is trustworthy, courteous, responsible, and a great sitter! I highly recommend Meredith. Penny looked really happy when we got back.”
