She watched her for 10 days while we were on vacation and was a confident, responsible, communicative dog sitter. We couldn’t hope for anyone better when searching on Rover and feel fortunate that we knew 100% that our dog was in excellent hands while we were away.”

12. Christina M.
“Christina was great with Chuck! He got so much love, care and attention. Chuck is sweet but also an energetic not fully trained nippy puppy, so not easy! Christina is reliable, caring and skilled at taking care of dogs and goes the extra mile to treat them like her own. He got plenty of love attention and exercise. We got cute pictures of him throughout the week. It was a nice bonus that she got our mail and packages, watched our house and left our house clean and tidy. I would recommend her to friends, neighbors and family that needs pet care.”

“Syd is always a wonderful and thoughtful kitty sitter. My cats are always in such good moods when I get back. Syd is my favorite cat sitter in Philly.”
17. Sianneh V.
“Sianneh stepped in to takeover care when our friends, who had been taking care of our home and pets while we were away, had to cut their time short unexpectedly. It was evident from the start just how seriously she takes her work! Even though the handover and pet information really all had to be done on the phone and through messaging from another country she handled it all expertly and put us totally at ease! She provided many updates and asked questions as needed and we returned to happy, well cared for pets and a tidy home! Thanks Sianneh!”
18. Kendall P.
“Kendall does such a lovely job of keeping me updated about how my little nervous pup is doing while I'm away. I appreciate how thoughtful her updates are and they always seem to come through right when I need them.”

About: Lil dogs to big dogs or cats can't forget our fury felines. I have lots of love to give the animals I'm currently looking to get a dog. I might not have to if i enjoy taking care of your pets. I'm patient with animals and people that says alot but I'm loving and caring. That comes naturally. Right now I want to share my joy with your pets. I went to an agricultural school and gained experience caring for ferrets, sheeps, horses and cows etc. I grew up with dogs in my household and learning the responsibilities of providing for dogs. I'm comfortable with animals and I'm confident I can provide the safety and security to fit your pets temperament. I'm looking forward yay!
