“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”
“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”
“If you need someone to watch your pet, Caitlin is excellent. She was communicative and sent updates and pictures while we were away. Hendrix loved his time with Caitlin and I would use her again in the future.”
“Christina stayed in our home to petsit, and was great! Took the time to come before our trip to meet the pets and go over instructions, which she followed to a tee. Provided regular photos and updates, and quickly responded when we reached out. We came home to a clean house and two very well-taken care of pets. Would definitely recommend Christina, and will definitely reach out again the next time we need a sitter!”
“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.”
“Quanece and Malik did such a great job watching our dog penny! Since we moved to Philly we had barely left, due to not having a trusted dog sitter. They took amazing care of our dog, left us multiple updates a day, and they left our house absolutely immaculate. We already have them scheduled for another trip this month and will continue to be repeat customers!”
“Danielle was great! We were running out of cat food towards the end of the week and she ran out and got more. She sent pics of the dogs when we were away and they seemed to love her. She straightened up the house and all was good. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Katelyn did an excellent job watching Sadie and Bogey. She provided many updates and photos during the stay and was able to provide appropriate care according to each dog’s specific needs. When we arrived back from our trip both dogs were happy and the home appeared to be well cared for. I would definitely recommend Katelyn for pet sitting and boarding.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”
“Anthony is a wonderful sitter. He arrived precisely on time and listened carefully to our instructions regarding. our special needs dog, Norma. Anthony texted photos and reassured us that Norma had taken her medication. When we got home, we were pleasantly surprised to find her relaxed and comfortable, something she doesn't always exhibit even with us. We're glad we found Anthony and look forward to having him care for Norma in the future.”
“Y’all. YALL. I’m just saying… Sky is FANTASTIC. Soooo personable, friendly, actually took our dog on a walk, and it’s evident that she really cares. Our dog, William, warmed up to Sky SO fast. I hope everyone can book her but I also hope that y’all don’t take my Saturdays ?”
“Kiana was amazing! She kept in contact, was super easy to get ahold of, and even did a little extra when we found a bees nest right before we left for vacation! The dogs loved her and even my cat, who barely shows herself, allowed picture updates! She left the house exactly as we left it and even did a little extra! Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Melissa is wonderful and communicative! She's watched our dogs twice now and we feel totally at ease leaving them with her knowing they’re comfy and well taken care of. :)”
“Megan was so sweet and chill! We needed someone to keep our Alaskan Malamute company while we went into the city for a concert in the evening. She was very responsive during setting up the house stay and communicated throughout the duration we were gone with helpful updates and photos of our anxious dog. He was immediately fond of her and even seemed to miss her after she left! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a house sitter.”
About: My sister Karen and I dog sit together, offering your pup double the care, love, and attention. We've both grown up with dogs and have cared for them since childhood, which gave us a strong foundation in understanding their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve expanded that experience by volunteering at animal shelters, working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I work from home, so your dog will never be alone. Between the two of us, we make sure every pup in our care gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a calm, comfortable environment. Whether it’s reinforcing training routines, daily walks, or just quiet companionship, we tailor our care to what your dog needs most. Your pet will be treated like family—because to us, they are. As a work-from-home sitter, your dog will have my attention and company all day long. Our neighborhood is surrounded by parks, including the wonderful Wissahickon Valley, so we'll enjoy lots of refreshing walks together to stay active. I offer pet care in my apartment which includes access to a large open yard and a designated dog park for exercise and recreation. Crate options are available for dogs that require or are accustomed to them.
About: I have grown up with large dogs, specifically Great Pyrenees, and cats since birth. This early experience gave me a great understanding of animal body language and I feel confident when forming relationships with new animals. In addition, I am comfortable with pets of all sizes (big pups welcome!) From brushing to administering medication, I am experienced in providing everything your pet needs to thrive. I am currently working full-time from home and would love to walk/check-in on your pet during my mid-day break! Additionally, I will be available in the mornings before 8am and after 4pm. I am available most weekends anytime of day. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I would be happy to care for your pet in yours. I prefer to learn the rhythms and routines that you have with your pet so that I can create the most comfortable and consistent experience possible.

Jimmy M.
“I’ve known Jimmy for many years—not just as a wonderful brother-in-law, but as someone with a truly kind and steady heart. He’s always had a natural connection with animals, treating them with the same patience, gentleness, and loyalty he shows to those around him. Jimmy is not only an animal lover, but also a brave and disciplined soldier—someone who takes responsibility seriously and follows through with care and commitment. Any pet in his care will feel safe, loved, and truly at home. I can’t think of anyone more trustworthy to look after animals.”
Anna F.Star Sitter
“Anna has been an animal lover her whole life. She grew up in a family with a menagerie of pets… cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, rats, a rabbit! She helped to care for them all. She is loving, responsible, conscientious and cares for other people’s pets as if they were her own. You could not ask for a better person with whom to entrust your fur babies. ~ Anna’s Mom”
East Falls pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dana is so wonderful, we trust him fully with our senior dog and our cat, who needs meds twice a day. We left for 4 days recently and I was a little nervous to leave our old pup. Dana was very communicative and checked in with us unprompted about how our pup was doing. We have worked with Dana when we leave town for the last 3 years (at least) and we couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. The best is when you get home and your pets act like you never left.
Nikki was phenomenal as always! She is an incredible dog guardian and takes excellent care of our dog and home, handling both the expected and unexpected calmly and professionally. She checked in to ask if she could take our dog for an extra long walk to a nearby trail and gave him a phenomenal outing. Our home is spotless after her stay and she collected all the mail/packages neatly. We can’t wait to work with her again!
Ceara has watched our 2 dogs 3x now. The latest was a 2-wk stint. She took loving care of the dogs and our house (including watering a new tree!) and was a very good communicator on a daily basis with plenty of photos showing them walking & playing with their toys etc. She is an attentive dog-sitter and we definitely look forward to seeing her again!
Katelyn did an excellent job watching Sadie and Bogey. She provided many updates and photos during the stay and was able to provide appropriate care according to each dog’s specific needs. When we arrived back from our trip both dogs were happy and the home appeared to be well cared for. I would definitely recommend Katelyn for pet sitting and boarding.
Regina was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! I booked her last minute after our regular dog sitter had to cancel, and she was so communicative and accommodating! She took great photos, and my dogs were clearly comfortable with her very quickly. Will absolutely be booking with her again!
Madison was an absolutely wonderful with my dog Meka. Felt completely at ease with having her house sit and take care of Meka for the weekend at my house. I received regular updates and photos from Madison throughout the weekend letting me know how things were going. I will absolutely be using Madison again.
Michelle looked after my 2 yr old bengal cat, Zelda for 2 weeks while I was on vacation. She was flexible and accommodating with her schedule, she was communicative and sent photos and videos of zelda frequently. Michelle is super friendly, attentive and professional. She went above and beyond, I came home to a clean apartment and a happy cat! I highly reccomend.
Barbara was absolutely wonderful with our 3 dogs. She was very attentive to their needs and found ways to help our skittish dog that we hadn’t even thought of. She sent cheerful updates each day which were very reassuring when we were so far away. Highly recommend!
Julia is extremely reliable and communicative. I never have to worry or even check-in — Julia’s already got it covered and is keeping me in the loop. Excellent care and attention to detail, my cat is beyond contented every time I return home after a Julia visit!
