“Ryan is always super attentive, communicative, and professional. He takes great care of our pets and leaves the house spotless. He has housesit and cared for our animals on multiple occasions, even for a very short notice long trip due to a family emergency. We are so appreciative of his help and the peace of mind! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since a very young age and worked at a shelter before. At the shelter I have experience bathing the animals, feeding them, and also cleaning out their kennels. I’m a student looking to help out between classes. I am available for the days but also nights. I live in a pet free home so I can also take care of them from home if necessary I have lots of experience taking care of dogs ranging from just a puppy to elderly. I am available to walk, feed, and play with them and follow all necessary specific instructions for care.

About: My name is Christian. I am kind, gentle, and fun loving. I will walk, run, exercise, and play fetch with your dog and care for him/her as if he/she were one of my own. I will walk any dog, any size, age, or breed. I’ve always enjoyed dogs a lot. Your dogs will have such a fun time they won’t want to leave. I am available seven days a week rain or shine and my hours are flexible. No matter what, you can count on me to walk your dog. If you require any special requests just let me know and I will see what I can do. If you need your pet washed I can do that too. I look forward to walking your dog!
“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”
About: Hi there! I’m Alexis, a dietitian and lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic huskies to cuddly cocker spaniels and puggles. I’ve always been closely connected to animals and genuinely love being around them. Since moving to Philly for school and staying here for work, I’ve really missed having a dog to walk, play with, and spend time outdoors with, and I’m excited to be able to do that again through Rover! I’m very active and love getting outside for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some company during the day, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I also currently have a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feline care and understand how to keep them happy, comfortable, and on routine. I work full time in the area and am looking to add a furry companion to my post-work routine. I am available for afternoon & early evening drop-ins & walks Monday - Thursday after 3PM. Because I’m routine-oriented myself, I love helping pets stay on a steady schedule too. I enjoy building consistency with the dogs and cats I care for, so they know when to expect me and feel comfortable with our time together. It’s a great way for me to combine something I love, being active and spending time with animals, into my everyday life. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and supported in their normal routine. I follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. During each visit, I take care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, and any medications if needed. I also make sure your pet gets attention and interaction based on their personality, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply calm companionship. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so I can adjust to what they need in the moment. I’m very detail-oriented, so I make sure doors are secure, spaces are left clean, and everything is exactly how you left it (or better). You can also expect consistent communication from me, including updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Amanda far exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all respects. She clearly loves animals and bonded with our Lippy and Emmy, while attending to their every need, including Lippy’s meds. Knowing things were being handled so well allowed us to fully enjoy our trip with no worries at all. She is the best!”

“Si yeon was great. I forgot to update Rover with my new address. She went to my old address. Totally my fault. I gave her the new address and told her to just go the next day but she insisted that she felt bad for my kitties and went straight over to the correct address to feed them. I would highly recommended Si yeon. She cares about animals and did a wonderful job.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
About: We love dogs so much! Our pup Penny loves to relax and play with others dogs. She is very kind and gets along with all dogs. Tyler works full time mostly from home but goes into the office every other Wednesday+Thursday. We have a fenced in backyard and Tyler loves taking breaks to stretch her legs to walk the dogs. We have a fenced in yard, and dogs are allowed on the furniture. We can easily crate your dog if needed and keep our dog in our room at night.
“Henry ❤️ Bryn! She took great care of him while we were on vacation. In addition to feeding and other basic care, she was his play companion and advocate. She sent us daily “action shots” that show Henry joyfully playing cat soccer, catch, and hide and seek with her. She also payed close attention to how he responded to the feeding schedule. When it seemed he was hungrier than expected, she messaged us to discuss giving him a bit more food each day. Henry and his people enthusiastically recommend Bryn for cat care!”

“Shelby took great care of our cats while we were away. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands and she carefully fulfilled all our requests. Thanks so much, Shelby!”

About: Hi! I’m Shannon, a graduate student with several years of hands-on pet care experience, including 5 months of paid dog walking and ongoing pet sitting/boarding for repeat clients. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently care for my own pets, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animal. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also have experience with senior pets, administering medication, and following routines and schedules. You can expect consistent updates and photos, dependable, on-time care, and a safe environment. I’m currently a graduate student with a generally flexible schedule. While I have some weekly commitments, I do my best to accommodate pet care needs and can often adjust my availability when needed. I’m especially available for evenings, weekends, and will have increased flexibility during the summer months! I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. I ensure pets are fed, hydrated, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor their behavior and well-being to make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times.
“Tracy took great care of my two cats while I was away for ten days. That gave me peace of mind knowing they were safe and had such companionship. She sent lots of pictures of my babies loving on her and even cut their nails! Thank you, Tracy!”

About: Hi! I grew up with cats and dogs, and had small animals during college (much to my dorm RA's chagrin LOL) - a hamster, gerbil, snake, and a rat. Currently my daughter and I have four wonderful cats, including an orange female that keeps us on our toes 😁, and a Betta fish. With friends and family, I am surrounded by dogs - from Chihuahua to Greyhound - and I love them all! I often pet sit and walk a variety of pawsome pups 🐾 ❤️. I'm comfortable with any type of pet (feline, canine, reptile, bird, small mammals, etc.) and would be honored to care for yours. Let's face it, pets can be better than people, and they deserve to be treated with the unconditional love they show us!! 😊 I am self-employed, and have ultimate flexibility to care for your pets on your schedule, day or night! I am available for one-off arrangements, when you are traveling, or on-going regular care. I'm especially happy to spend as much time as needed with your fur babies, to ensure they are well-loved and enriched while you are away! In my own home, I can care for caged animals, such as small mammals, reptiles, birds, or fish. They would be kept in a closed room that is off limits to our cats. For your cats and dogs, I happy to come to your home and spend as much time as needed feeding, cleaning, playing, walking, etc. In addition, if the fit is right, I am happy to welcome your dog into my home during the day for doggie daycare.
“Nikki was great with our dog Otter! She was able to schedule a drop-in last minute and saved the day. She was punctual, communicative and took great care of our guy giving me peace of mind while I was not home.”


“Such a pleasure meeting Marian. She was excellent in making sure she understood the personality of our puppy and supporting the training we are working on too. We will be a repeat customer for sure! Thank you!”
