“Donte boarded my senior German Shepherd for 5 days including Christmas Day. She was well cared for, receiving her medications twice a day to manage her hip arthritis and pain from IVDD. She came home rested and without any signs of over exertion, which can be difficult to manage while other dogs are boarded. My only concern was that I had become used to Rover hires providing a daily update; I had not explicitly asked for this and Donte sent one unprompted update (on Christmas), but he was very quick to respond when I reached out to check in on her. He also offered an important observation at pick up about the length of my dogs back toenails, indicating careful attention to the dog’s wellbeing.”



“I asked Madeline if she could board my dog on somewhat short notice. She was able to accommodate my request, & as always, made me feel like a valued client who need not worry about anything. And, it was another great vacay with Madeline. I received multiple updates throughout the trip, & drop off & pick up was a breeze. I am a repeat client because of her exemplary professionalism & service. I would highly recommend Madeline to anybody seeking a dog sitter in Philadelphia.”


“Robert was a great sitter for our dog, Maggie! He was kept us updated the whole time and even asked if he could use ear cleaner for Maggie when she had an itchy ear! The pictures he sent were amazing, we’ll probably have one framed! Maggie came home happy, healthy and tired ☺️”


“Ashley was wonderful. Zena was right at home. I truly appreciate the care and attention Ashley and her family provided for Zena while we were out. I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a caring sitter for their pet. Thank you, Ashley!”


“Nicole took such wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away! She followed all of our detailed care instructions closely, including their various dietary and behavioral quirks, and made sure they were comfortable and happy the entire time. We loved receiving daily updates with photos and videos, and it was clear our girls were having a great time and enjoying the company of the other dogs in her care. Nicole is a great communicator, very sweet, and genuinely seemed to care about our girls. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”


“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.”


“Alice did a wonderful job taking care of Sandy and keeping us updated. She watched her for 2 weeks and made sure we received plenty of pictures and knew how Sandy was doing while we were away.”


“Awesome sitters! They took great care of Winnie and provided lots of photos and updates. Great communication and reliability. I could tell Winnie got lots of attention and care.”


“Awesome experience with Kevin! Was in Pa from Fl for a wedding and needed a dog sitter in the area. I had a meet and greet with Kevin and knew my dog would be in good hands! He did a great job with my senior dog and gave me some updates as the 2 days went along. I highly recommend him for your dog needs!”


“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.”


“Dana took care of Dev for 5 days and the experience was as amazing as the first time. Dev gets really pampered and had good workout in her yard along with Max and Buttons. The three puppies had a blast and good summer vacation and I feel so happy for them. Would recommend Dana anytime she is a wonderful host and dog mom.”


“All I can say is... we are so happy we checked out Rover! I came across their listing after a few random searches, and were impressed with what I saw. I reached out to them and they invited us to visit them the next day. Everything about them showed what animal lovers they are! Our pups felt comfortable with them immediately, and even followed Saya up the steps when she had to go upstairs! We were able to tweak our dates to align, and our pups had a great stay with them. They kept in touch and sent lots of photos! We could see the love Saya and David gave them in everything they did, and Annie and Jack were two happy pups who now love them completely. I recommend this amazing couple without reservation.”


“Olivia was so great with Babaganoush! She was very patient about all his quirks and neediness, and her frequent updates and photos made us feel at ease. So grateful he had a loving place to stay. Thank you Olivia!”


“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!”


“Emilio was very accommodating for a last minute overnight booking for my puppy. Emilio was very kind and professional and sent pictures and videos randomly and when asked. We will definitely use Emilio again for any future doggy needs.”
