“Adrienne was great taking care of Stella over the weekend. She was very communicative and made us feel confident Stella was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”


“Stefan was a wonderful dog sitter for our 9 year old pitbull mix! He stayed the weekend with her, caring for all her needs and providing her company. His calm energy was a great match for our pup who can be a little anxious and wary of strangers. Stefan was also a very respectful guest in our home and kept us updated regularly with photos and how she was doing. Thank you Stefan!”


“Noa was a fantastic sitter for our Lily. She made sure to text us updates with pics showing our pup having as much of a good time as we were on vacation. She barely smiles in pics we try to take of her but her smile was beaming in the pics Noa sent 😁. And she was a terrific house sitter as well. We’ve already booked her again for a couple of weeks from now. We highly recommend Noa”


“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!”


“We are so lucky to have found Areana! She was excellent about communication with multiple check ins daily. We have a rambunctious menagerie of animals and she handled them like a pro. We are excited to work with her again!”



“Brenda was excellent with our 11 month old puppy. She kept his routine, exercised him (not an easy task), and sent me regular updates with pictures throughout the day - that made me feel great! Will definitely book her again.”


“Riva is such an amazing pet sitter for our dog and two cats. She’s very kind and responsive and she genuinely loved our pets. Our three animals had a great time hanging out with her :)”


“Quanece was great with my 4 month old puppy, J’Rome! She’s patient and well experienced. She sent lots of updates and picture/videos throughout the day. I would highly recommend!”


“Leah was great with Coco during house sitting. She sent regular updates, made sure that Coco has his usual sleep- wake and eating schedule. I would definitely recommend using her services for your pet. Thanks Leah!!”


“Carly was amazing! Super communicative, friendly and was flexible when our flight was cancelled. She stayed in our home with our pups and cat and the place was tidier than when we left. All the animals loved her, it was great to come home to a house full of happy pets — we could really tell they enjoyed her company! We hope to hire her again”


“Kimberly was such a great dog sitter! She stayed in our house over the weekend and watched our two very anxious rescue dogs Coco and Kiwi, who both warmed up to Kimberly (not an easy feat). Kimberly was super attentive to our dogs needs and very responsive! We would 100 percent recommend and work with Kimberly again.”


“Bridgette's stay with our dogs was great! I am always nervous with new sitters because my two dogs can be a little neurotic but she sent reassuring texts and pictures the whole time we were gone. She spent 3 nights at our house and we would definitely use her again!”



“Anna stayed with our dog over the weekend, the first time we have had someone stay at our house with him. She was easy to work with and everything went smoothly.”


“Very communicative and paid very good attention to my dog. My dog is leash reactive and hyperactive and she was able to give him all the attention he needed.”


“Molly went above and beyond for us as a house- and pet-sitter over the Christmas holidays. My wife and kids and I had a long-delayed, week-long trip planned to see my mother across the country from Christmas Eve through New Year's Eve day, and we were having a tough time finding appropriate care for dog and cat. Our dog, in particular, was a challenge, as she's highly reactive to other dogs, is not used to spending most of the day in a crate, and needs some good exercise every day. We realized that a house sitter who was really good with animals was our best option. Luckily, we found Molly. Molly came over in advance of the booking and connected right away with our family and both of our pets. She took very good care of them over the time we were away making sure our dog got long, stimulating walks and playtime, and that our somewhat cantankerous cat got lots of attention. She also took care of our home, and left it in as good or better shape than when we left. She responded quickly and thoroughly to communications and proved herself to be highly responsible, flexible and generous with her time. If you've gotten this far, you've probably figured out that we're highly recommend Molly and would happily work with her again when the need arises.”


“Alexandra took such great care of my baby! She sent regular updates and photos and videos. My cat is shy, and she felt so safe with Alexandra that she really came out of her shell. I highly recommend her care for your pets! ❤️”

Fishtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley has boarded with my pup several times now and it’s always a great experience! She makes me feel very assured that my dog is in good hands and gives regular updates. She’s been patient as my dog is older and slow to open up. I would definitely recommend her to a friend!

Heidi was wonderful with agreeing to watch our two dogs (village dog and boxer mutt) and our cat (loud, demanding bengal) at the last minute! We got pictures and updates every day, and we came home to happy animals and a clean house. Would absolutely recommend Heidi!

Tetiana went above and beyond in her duties as a sitter. She would send pictures and updates daily. She would give them tons of attention with play and petting. She would even be patient and try different feeding methods when Freya was being picky about her food. We can't recommend Tetiana enough and we hope she'll be available during our next trip out of town.

Claudia did an excellent job watching our dog for 8 days. We were struggling with picky eating in the days leading up to our trip and couldn't find a solution in time. Claudia took everything in stride. She prepared toppers and alternative meals to her normal kibble. We are so grateful for Claudia's hard work and care.

Katrina was incredible with my big (sometimes crazy) dog Izzy! She took such good care of him, gave me updates, and made him so happy that he seemed disappointed when I walked in after my trip and it wasn’t her 😂 - she took excellent care of our house and I will 1000 percent hire her again!!!!

Quanence and Malik were amazing! From the very start at the meet & greet they were both very detailed, asked all the right questions, and took lots of notes. They took great care of our pets Cali & Spanky. They kept us informed the entire time and sent pics. Communication was excellent. We could not have been happier. It’s a beautiful feeling to truly be able to be present at our event, knowing we didn’t have to worry about our babies. Today, was our first time using their service. Promise, it will not be the last. Do NOT hesitate to book their services!!! So happy our paths have crossed Quanence and Malik - thank you for everything!!! ☺️

We couldn’t be happier with Christina’s care for our dog Lacie during our two-week trip! She stayed at our home and went above and beyond—taking Lacie on regular walks, keeping us updated with great communication, and even watering our indoor plants and outdoor flowers. When we got home, Lacie was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved. The house was spotless and looked great. We’re so grateful to have found someone so responsible and caring. Highly recommend Christina and would absolutely book with her again!
