“Caroline is so sweet! Her love for animals is apparent and she takes special care of your furry friend. My dog Obi adores Caroline and they have so much fun playing together. There is plenty of love and snuggles given as well! She does a fantastic job giving a summary of the visit and I love seeing the photos. I know when I booked with Caroline that Obi will be well taken care of!”
“Every update was detailed and hilarious to read, she did a fantastic job keeping our kitties happy and we really appreciated her kindness and attention to detail!”

“Paz was very responsible and timely. She showed kindness to the cats, cleaned up after them, made sure they had food and water. One of my cats needs a medicated eye-drop regularly and Paz was confident in her ability to administer the eye-drop. I would hire her again.”
“Yuliia was so communicative, respectful, and reliable! She took the best pictures of my cat and it was wonderful knowing she was in good hands while I was away. She took time to play with my cat and brought out her toys and it made my cat very happy. I highly recommend her!”
“Best sitter ever!! Lisa absolutely spoiled my cat every day and took great care of my apartment while I was on a long vacation. She sent tons of photos and daily updates and made me feel comfortable knowing my cat was in great hands. 10/10 experience, would definitely recommend and will call her again for sure.”

“James is a very trustworthy, experienced, reliable and responsible pet sitter. He took very good care of my two cats and it was obvious that my cats were very comfortable around him at their first meeting. I would not hesitate to use him again👍🏻”
“It’s always a relief to find a sitter who’s dependable, consistent, and able to attend to each animal’s patterns and quirks/needs. But Heather is more than that because my cats also grew to love her (in just a week!). Six cats give paws up!”
“Karen is a wonderful person and an attentive caregiver for my pets. I have 4 cats, three of which are pretty elderly. I really appreciated the daily feedback and great photos. She even managed to get the more elusive ones back into playing. It really set my mind at ease, knowing they had such good care and attention. I highly recommend Karen!”
“Rhiannon was great I had nothing to worry about when I was out for the whole day. She sent me updated photos and her care for my Gigi was outstanding. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for the best and complete attention to your dog’s wellbeing.”
About: I'm an experienced vet assistant, and have 4 fur babies of my own! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and petsit their pets for years. I have a diabetic cat, and am experienced with giving insulin, and administering other medications to cats/dogs. I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant. I'm available during my lunch break, most evenings and weekends to provide quality pet care 🙂 I'll walk your dog and clean up after them during the walk. I'll make sure there's enough food & water for your pet, and clean their bowls as needed.
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals in my life ranging from beta fish to lizards to small dogs to big dogs. I’m confident in dealing with any issues that may arise I’m currently the owner of a golden retriever and a brown lab golden retriever mix that have trained as seeing eye dogs but unfortunately dropped out of the program for minor health reasons. I take them out every morning and afternoon and night. I feed them most days as my spouse does some days as well. My moto is let them have fun but be safe about it. For example in our apartment we will throw the toy up and down the hallway but we make sure that nothing breakable is in the way. We are also lucky enough to have a field close by with a long lead to let them run around and play fetch with them.
“Cassandra was willing to care for my cats on extremely short notice and we did not even get to do a meet and greet in advance. Nevertheless, she was immediately able to bond with my cats and asked insightful questions and was very careful to be sure they were getting the right amounts of food and supplements. From the expression on my cats faces in the photos she sent, I can tell that the cats absolutely love her. I can recommend her highly and hope she will be willing to help us again. I think she is a cat whisperer!”
About: WARNING! You’re animal will be spoiled! My home is located just 15 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport and is convenient to both 95, 495 and Philadelphia pike. In a rush? I can pick up your pup up for a small fee I am Marissa! I have been around all types of dogs my entire life, from Yorkies to Rottweilers! I am extremely attentive and your pets safety is my top priority. I am well versed in handling strong, powerful animals. I have a fur angel, Luna, who we just lost in September 👼 So I am going through withdrawal 😞 I can’t wait to get to meet and love on your animals and give them all sorts of lovings! I have a 13 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who LOVES animals more than I do, which is crazy. But we’ve had pets the whole time he’s been alive! Me, I have had a pet since the time I was 2 and ever since my first dog, Molly, I knew I’d always need a furry child in my life at all times! If I do have to step out, I typically leave the dogs uncrated unless otherwise stated. All dogs are leashed when on a walk and going out to use the restroom. I currently work from home and get very lonely during the day! Having a fur baby to keep me company and let me share my love and affection to would be awesome! I also can work from anywhere and everywhere! So I’m completely flexible and open to whatever 😊 Yes, your fur child/children can sleep in bed with me if that is okay with you. I can easily crate your dog if needed! I do not have a fenced in yard but I would be able to bring the babies to dog parks since I can work from anywhere! I will send you daily photos & updates on our adventures!

From a Husky Owner: Finding the right dog sitter is crucial for a Husky owner. Huskies are known for their high energy, need for consistent training, and strong prey drive. Therefore, Ryan was highly appreciated! He understood that a Leo needed more than a just short walk by automatically volunteering an extended walk tailoring to include vigorous exercise allowing my dog to burn his energy. The ability to manage leash manners and maintain attention, even with distractions, was impressive, as Huskies can be very independent on walks. Ryan asked about Leo’s training leash techniques and reviewed modeling the leash behavior. In addition to physical activity, Ryan showed commitment to mental stimulation for Leo. Puzzle toys and an intense play session kept Leo’s mind occupied, which helped prevent any destructive behaviors that can arise from boredom in Huskies. Training commands were also reinforced consistently, which is important for this breed. There was also excellent communication from Ryan during my time away! Knowing that Leo was well-cared for, happy, and engaged made my trip more relaxing and worry free! I’d highly recommend Ryan as your next dog sitter!
Nick did a fantastic job taking care of my buddy. He took time and care to win my dog’s friendship. I received daily reports and felt comfortable having him and Katie in my home. I was nervous about using Rover and in home care in general and it turned out to be a very positive experience. I will be using Nick again in the future.
