“No words can express my gratitude! I had a sitter cancel without explanation less than a week before a long international trip! I scrambled to find someone to care for my big baby. Lots of sitters were nice but Yuhan was the only person that got eye-to-eye with Abrita and truly engaged with her. She communicated well, made me feel comfortable and went above and beyond. She’s amazing!”

About: As a devoted pet parent to my own dog, Chevy, I understand how important it is to ensure your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or some extra love and attention, I provide reliable and personalized care tailored to their needs. With a love for all breeds and a keen understanding of pet behavior, I strive to make each walk or visit enjoyable and stress-free. I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world so have a flexible schedule and time to care for your pets when you aren’t available. I am available for long walks around the neighborhood or to visit with your pet in your home for potty breaks, feeding and companionship. This is up to you and your pets needs.
“Carolyn was great with my five dogs. They all loved her immediately upon meeting her. She made sure that the right dogs were crated and gave everyone treats. She even managed to make friends with my ex puppy mill mama is so scared of new people. I really recommend her for short term dog sitting. She was a godsend when my usual dog sitter went on vacation.”
About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to Cornbread, who has congestive heart failure. Caring for him has made me experienced with giving medications and providing extra TLC when needed. I’ve also had hamsters and have always loved dogs too! I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals. Whether it’s going for a walk with your dog or hanging out with your cat while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I’m really looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work full-time in Bala-Cynwyd but live in Manayunk. From Monday to Friday, I am available in the early mornings before I start my workday at 8:00 and anytime after 4:30 in the afternoon! I am always around on the weekends, as my cat needs special care in the morning and night. I’m great at caring for pets in their own home because I know how important it is for animals to feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m respectful of your home, follow your pet’s routine, and do my best to keep things calm and familiar. My own cat, Cornbread, is very timid, so I’ve learned how to read cat body language really well and give them the space or attention they need. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just being a quiet presence, I always try to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible while you’re away
About: With a lifetime of experience taking care of my own animals as well as for friends and family, you can be assured your pet will be in good hands! I have many years of experience of housesitting for neighbors and friends, making sure they had a worry free vacation and their pets were well taken care of. I have two rescue pups of my own that love playing with other dogs and going to the park every day. We make sure they get plenty of running and play time (and treats!) each day. I’ll make sure that your pet receives the same love and care as if they were my own. I’m that person that stops on the street to pet every doggo I see!
“Lucy took great care of our pets and stayed connected with texts and photos. This was our second experience scheduling her and won’t hesitate to schedule her again.”
About: I grew up having animals, with my first pet cat at age 6. Caring for animals was an important part of my upbringing - we also had dogs, other cats, a rabbit, a snake, a bearded dragon, fish, and birds. (not all at the same time, but always had different animals around!) I have a lot of experience caring for different types of animals. I've been dog and house sitting for friends and family for years. I'm comfortable in multiple animal homes, administering medications, and attending to specific food and care regimens. I take the time to get to know each animal and love giving extra pets, snuggles and massages (if the pet allows). Animals are the best friends; they deserve all the care and comfort! Pet care is part of my daily routine already; I am using Rover for supplemental income and to work close to home with flexible hours. As an animal lover, Rover seems like a no-brainer! As a no-kid cat owner, I understand how important your fur babies are! I will treat your home and pets as my own. I will take my shoes off, and leave your place cleaner than I found it. I attend to specific feeding and care details and of course will clean up any messes my client's pets may have. If you set a booking with me I would be happy to set a time to meet and go through all care routines to ensure trust and the best care for your animals! I also enjoy taking photos (with consent) and will send daily updates and pictures of your beautiful fur babies!
“Savannah took such wonderful care of our boys while we were away and it really set our minds at ease. She sent us pictures every day and let us know how they were doing, eating, and how playtime went. I highly recommend Savannah as we will definitely be using her again!”
“She took excellent care of my cat and gave me updates and pictures!”
About: I have experience with dogs for about 16 years. I had a Cavalier King Charles for about 13 years and then she passed away. She stopped walking for about 2 years before she passed. I watch a 3 yr old bichon and shih tzu mix now. I have plenty of time to watch your pups. I’m available weekdays and weekends. I would also be happy to watch your pet on Holidays. I have no dogs currently. We live in Chestnut Hill. I love taking dogs for walks in this beautiful area. I don’t have a back yard.
“Super awesome”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with high-energy breeds, senior dogs needing gentle care, and even pups with anxiety. I always tailor my approach to each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. My calm, intuitive nature helps me build trust quickly with animals, even shy or reactive ones. I’ve volunteered at shelters and have experience with puppy training basics, senior care, administering medications, and leash reactivity. I approach each pet with patience and respect, and I take pride in providing care that feels like home. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-in visits or walks on weekdays after 3 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the attention and companionship they deserve while you're away. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety and comfort come first. I keep environments clean, secure, and pet-friendly, free from hazards. I follow feeding routines, exercise guidelines, and any medical or behavioral instructions to the letter. I also give regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you're away.
About: Hello, I'm Florian, a lifelong dog lover. Now that I'm retired, I dedicate my time to ensuring dogs get the exercise, care, and attention they deserve. With years of experience raising dogs of my own (Pulik), I understand how important a calm, confident approach is for pet owners. My philosophy is built on a firm yet gentle approach. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and my goal is to make every walk or visit a positive, enjoyable experience. I look forward to meeting you and bringing a little extra joy to your dog’s day! I am retired so my schedule is flexible and adaptable to the needs of the client; I am also mobile and can travel as needed. I will always keep dogs on leash regardless of the situation or circumstance ; should dog be required to be at my home, our backyard is fenced and first floor is dog proof.

Abigail was so friendly and professional. She made a great bond with Daisy and I would definitely recommend her and work with her again!
Stephanie jumped in to help us with less than a days notice to do a drop in (for the first time) and she navigated the instructions flawlessly and lovingly! We know our dog was thrilled to see Stephanie come through the door!

Lisa is by far our favorite cat sitter - it’s obvious she takes wonderful care of them simply by the way they react when she comes over pre-visit. We can’t recommend her highly enough
We were grateful Zachary was able to accept our last minute request to walk Rocket and even meet him the day before. He was very friendly with Rocket and left detailed notes and cute photos of Rocket after each walk. Zachary is an excellent communicator and we highly recommend his services for any potential clients.
Elena was great! I not have to worry about my dog and she made sure to send pictures, and keep me informed on how Ellie was doing.
Makayla was awesome! Our boys loved meeting her and responded very well to her. She was great with communication in both letting us know if she would be arriving a little earlier or later than expected and with little updates on how the boys were doing. We will definitely book again.
Adele was great! She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were out of town. Very grateful she loved on our boys when we couldn’t be there. Thank you!
