“Thank you so much for being so easy to work with and accommodating last minute. We already booked out our next vacation in October. Absolutely recommend!!”

“We just moved to Manayunk and had to find someone to walk our Willow girl. We are so thankful we found Amanda. She goes above and beyond, and is so sweet with Willow. Thanks for making the move that much easier, Amanda!”

“Hannah did a FANTASTIC job taking care of our cat Beanie! She went above and beyond while we were away for two weeks, helping administer medications to a sensitive and skittish cat with ease. She was very communicative and kind, and her daily updates and sweet photos gave us peace of mind. Will definitely book again!”

“Michelle was lovely to work with! I needed urgent last minute cat care when I had a last minute gap between friends checking on my cat, and Michelle was quick to accept my request to book. My cat warmed to her quickly from what I could see, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I would certainly book with Michelle again!”

About: Hi my name is Sarah and I’m *almost* as hyper as your dog 🤣🩷 I’ve taken care of dogs professionally on and off for ten years, am confident w both dog sitting and shorter walks/check-ins, and have nearly full availability at this time. I am a runner, so can comfortably provide services that will tire out even the most hyper of dogs! I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medication needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I’ll do my darndest to make sure your pup has the best walk/day/*insert period of time here* EVER! 💞💞 I’m currently doing flexible remote work, so I have lots of availability to care for your pet! I am open to multi-day bookings and very flexible with longer term care as well as shorter check-ins and walks 🩷 I have essentially full availability on Fridays and weekends; the only time I am not available is 6-10pm on weekdays, as I’m currently in school for massage therapy :) Anything outside of that window is fair game! I take a very attentive and energetic approach, making sure to put safety first in everything. I absolutely love dogs and am very eager to explore the city and get moving myself, so I see dog-walking and pet sitting as something I get just as much out of as you and your pet! I do not currently have any pets in my home, so would be open to boarding in the future at my place in Fishtown (granted, probably a better idea for smaller dogs and cats, as my apartment isn’t ginormous).
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I give my own. From energetic pups to mellow seniors, I adapt to each dog’s needs and make every walk a positive, safe experience. I’m between jobs at the moment, which means I have a lot of flexibility and time to dedicate to dog walking. It’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to — getting outside, staying active, and spending time with dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. Your dog will be part of my daily routine, definitely will be taken care of like they’re my own. I love dogs and I’ll love yours!

About: I grew up with two rescue dogs -- a calm corgi/blue heeler mix and a very high energy terrier mix -- so I can handle your pets personality, wherever they may fall on the size and energy spectrum! I have been watching neighbors' pets since I was 10 and continued into college, where I helped out as a dog sitter for my college president's two golden retrievers. In high school, I volunteered at an animal rescue, and more recently I volunteered as a dog walker at my local humane society. I look forward to getting the opportunity to meet your sweet (fur) babies! I have a flexible schedule and your pets are very important to me, so I can make time for them! I can be available during the workday. I will be sure to follow your instructions and guidelines to give your pet the best care I can! If there is any special information that I should be aware of, please let me know.
“Jack did a wonderful job dropping in for my cat bubba. As evidence from the adorable photos he took, Jack was able to snuggle and play with Bubba. He is usually a shy guy! Would happily have Jack drop in again.”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, being raised with 3, watching friends and neighbors pups, and now having my own. I’ve raised my son Bloo since he was 10 weeks old, potty training, teaching him tricks, and loving for him for almost 6 years. I love meeting new pups, even being called a “dog magnet”, and would be happy to meet your pup! I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I work from home. I have 24/7 availability to walk and watch your fur baby, so contact me for specifics! Having a dog is more than just a pet; they’re family. I’m here to give the dog the mental stimulation and exercise they need, and match their needs. Walks, playtime, and cuddles are essential to providing the love and care you’re fur baby needs!
“Ariana and Andrew were so helpful! They took on our holiday booking need the week of our trip out of town which was so appreciated! Thanks again both!”

“Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!”

“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”

About: Growing up I lived on a farm so I’ve always been good with animals. We always had dogs and cats around that we would take care of. I now have my own cat and have taken care of friends and families dogs and cats throughout the years when they are away. I am free after 6PM Monday- Friday. Can do early morning walks/drop ins Monday- Friday between 5:30-7:30AM. I also have open availability Saturday and Sundays. I live in a pet-friendly apartment. There is plenty of space, couches and pillows for your pet! I also have some toys and feeding supplies if no dietary restrictions.

“Daniel was super thoughtful and a great pet sitter for my cat Roy. Roy fell in love with him immediately, and I received lots of updates and pictures throughout. I'll happily rebook!”

“Alyssa did a great job looking after our kitties. She left detailed notes and lots of pictures for each check-in. Usually our cats get stressed when we are away, but we came home to happy, relaxed kitties.”

“Ginny took great care of our two cats while we were away! She was very thorough with our instructions and sent amazing photos and Rover cards at the end of each visit. We would love to book Ginny again in the future!”


“Danielle did a quick pop-in while we were gone for a while one evening. Danielle was kind, caring and knew exactly how to calm Toni. She agreed to come do a meet and greet earlier in the day to make it easier to hang with the bud. Thank you, we'll have her do more pop-ins in the future!”
Fishtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Daniel was an absolute GEM! He was responsive, caring, and went above and beyond to take care of my blue heeler, Winter and siamese cat, Rocky for a whole week while i was on vacation. You can tell he really loves hanging out with the fur babies and treats them how he would treat his own. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a walker / sitter / caregiver.

Cullen is the absolute best! She is always going above and beyond to make sure my fur babies are well cared for while I am away. I never like leaving my cats when I’m out of town, but having Cullen as their sitter puts my mind at ease. She is a fantastic communicator and gives me prompt updates with pictures on how each visit goes. I can’t recommend her enough!

Zahra was absolutely wonderful, I couldn't recommend her enough! From the get-go she was kind, caring, trusting, and very attentive to our cat's needs. After her visits, she sent plenty of photos and videos which were such a joy to receive while we were away! She was also highly respectful of our home. Will definitely be re-booking in the future :)
