“Carismeldi took fantastic care of my pup! She also sent plenty of updates and pics throughout this first stay which was reassuring. So thankful to have found her as a sitter. Looking forward to our dog staying with her again in a few weeks!”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Donte was great with my dog. Very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. He responds fast, sent videos and updates about my dog and was very understanding when my flight was delayed. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Tamikia was a breath of fresh air. She was very welcoming and cared for our Bella like one of her own..She gave updates and sent pictures the entire stay. I highly recommend her services. Bella also was taken for walks and fed great. We are glad we chose Tamikia. Don't hesitate with your pets for her care/ services.”
“Kristina was incredible! It was my first time booking a boarding session with Rover and she was so easy to work with sent me plenty of detailed updates about her fun weekend with Watson. She helped to make everything go smoothly! Thank you!!”
“Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.”
“Rachel was a fantastic pet sitter for our frenchie Josie. She was so attentive, kind, understanding and thoughtful. Josie was welcomed and felt right at home immediately. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who needs exceptional care for their dog.”
“I recently got a new puppy and I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone while I worked overnight. I needed a dogsitter ASAP who could accommodate several needs, #1 An overnight sitter #2 Watching a puppy #3 Close to my work #4 watching a puppy still needing all their vaccines and shots. Tony has been an excellent sitter for me. He checked all of my requirements and has been a great resource providing me advice. I recommend him to anyone.”
“She took amazing care of Jack and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly loves animals. Jack felt comfortable and well cared for, and I had total peace of mind while he was with her. Communication was great, with updates and quick responses, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional caregiver for their pet. I will definitely book with her again.”
“I couldn't have made a better choice than Khaing to watch my cats. I got updates with photos every day (as requested) and could tell the entire time how much she put into caring for them. Prompt responses whenever needed. 5 Stars is not enough! Thank you Khaing!”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Our dog Pinta loved staying with Eric and his wife. They were super communicative with us and took her on lots of walks even in the snow and very cold temperatures. It was clear that our pup received a lot of love! We will definitely reach out to them again when we need a sitter.”
“Madeline is simply wonderful! I boarded my Calvin with her for almost a week and she sent me daily updates with pictures. You can really tell she loves dogs and is super kind and patient. We just moved to Philly and I’m so glad I found her and her husband! 10/10 recommend!! Thank you Madeline for taking care of my baby boy 🐾”
“Liam was fantastic with Maggie, and she loved playing with Jack! Liam was incredibly communicative providing updates and photos of Maggie which is so comforting when being away from your fur baby. We highly recommend booking with him!”
“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”
“Amazing as always - watched Marshall over the Christmas holiday and treated him like his own pup! Lavished him with toys, cuddles, and hugs! Marshall is a demanding dog - does not play well with other dogs and doesn’t like to be left alone and he just absolutely thrives with Chris. Thank you!”
“We can’t express how amazing Ginger is! Our pups are both rescues and have their own little quirks and needs. Our Margo is very anxious and attentive, and both pups aren’t the best walkers. Though, Ginger was so incredibly amazing with making sure they were comfortable and worked with them on their tendencies while taking them on wonderful long walks. She was so communicative, sharing pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant the world to us so we knew how things were going. We can’t thank Ginger enough for how caring, friendly, and active she was with our pups!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Nicole & Alexis was absolutely wonderful with our dog! attentive, kind, and clearly experienced. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and treated our dog like her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).
“Renee was exceptional! She took great care of my dog Kalo. She was very communicative and provided many updates. She did a great job managing all the medications my senior dog takes. Would definitely book again!”

Saya and David were amazing! I had to book a sitter at the last minute, and they made the whole experience stress-free. I have two dogs with very different needs—one is high-energy, and the other is older and has a lot of anxiety—and they did a great job caring for both of them. They were very responsive, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
As always, Spencer and Nellie took amazing care of our dog Hazel. This stay was for 8 nights and we had complete peace of mind while we were traveling. It's clear how much care and thought both Spencer and Nellie put into everything that they do. Their daily updates were detailed, transparent, and always included fun photos. They even celebrated Hazel's gotcha day while we were gone. I cannot recommend them enough, they are the sitters we trust most with our girl!
I will def be using Tamikia again! I thought my dog was going to have anxiety from separation and not being used to other dogs but from the photos and videos that was sent to me Kaya was having a ball. She enjoyed her time and I liked that Tamikia kept be updated with everything. I highly recommend!
Zenith was amazing! My sitter canceled on me at the last minute and she agreed to take care of my dog for me the same morning that I had to leave. She took him to the dog park where he got to run around and have social time. She also provided me with multiple updates that included pictures. I would definitely rebook her and recommend her as a sitter!
Barbara was such an amazing host to our puppy Astra! She sent over plenty of pictures and a wonderful video of our pup playing with her dogs. Astra had a great time and came home absolutely exhausted which is a rare sight. Looking forward to booking with her again!
What an amazing dog sitter! It’s clear our puppy loved her time with Donte; shes been a little mopey since she’s been back home lol Donte would make sure to give us a peace of mind since it was our first time boarding our puppy girl; he made sure to send us pictures and videos of our pup while we were away. Very good communicator and we hope to have him as our dog sitter in the future! Highly recommend Donte!
Jennifer is the best dog sitter, we love bringing my dog Nico with her. I know he is going to be cared for when we drop him off and she provides excellent communication and picture updates. Nico is happy to see her always - she is a gem among dog sitters we are so greatful to have found her!
We couldn't be happier with Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Stella, for a weekend stay. We received several updates and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Stella tends to have separation anxiety but immediately settled in with Rachel and came home calm, happy, healthy, and tired from all the playtime. We'll definitely book again!
Jessica was absolutely amazing with Louie! She was kind, sweet, patient, and took great care of him throughout his stay. She also allowed us to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable leaving Louie in her care. What stood out most was how compassionate and understanding she was when we received unfortunate news during our trip. She truly went above and beyond during a very difficult time, and we appreciated her kindness so much. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would gladly book with her again!
I felt very comfortable leaving Bella with Alexandra and her family. They were warm and welcoming to her, and I left their home feeling a sense of relief. When we returned to pick her up, she actually seemed a little sad about leaving them… Lol I highly recommend Alexandra for your boarding needs.
