“Stormy was kind, attentive , reliable and her daily updates and pictures made me feel like everything was okay with me being out of town. It was one thing I didn’t have to worry about.”

“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!”

“McKenzie was great with our cats. We have a 10 week old kitten and McKenzie was great with the extra attention he needs. She takes great photos and is very responsive.”

“Andres is absolutely amazing. He is a great communicator. He’s flexible with his scheduling and the boys love him. So satisfied with his service and would recommend over and over again.”

“Aaand we changed the feeding routine yet again! This time we added a food puzzle to be filled with kibble for our super hungry all the time kitty. Julia managed all the changes with their trademark flexibility and patience!!!! Thank you!!”

“I was away for the holidays and Ramiya swooped in to care for my cat. She did a great job at feeding her and scooping litter. However, upon returning, there were crumbs of cat food, litter, and dirt, possibly from shoes, all over the floor (I live in a studio). I did once witness her sweep so not sure how this was missed. There were crumbs on the counter and a cardboard paper from the fancy feast box left on top of the stove. A fire hazard. While I was away I saw that Ramiya started her visit a few minutes before entering my apartment (I have a camera). I hate to be a stickler, but I prefer for each minute to be accounted for. I do appreciate her for holding onto my key until the next morning and being flexible about the time. I think she could use some more experience with cats as my cat doesn’t like to be pet a certain way and will bite if she’s uncomfortable. Despite meeting with Bubbles prior, I witnessed this on two occasions. They didn’t seem to bond too well. She spent more time on her phone than interacting with Bubbles.”

About: I have had pets throughout my life, including birds, dogs and cats! I will always make sure you’re little friend is well taken care of! At this time, Im currently seeking to fill my schedule as a pet sitter after selling my cleaning company. I am available 7 days a week. I live in an apartment complex with my husband. There is a great dog park here and we are close to the Wissahickon for longer walks.
“Marketa was great checking in with my cat! Thorough, reliable, and thoughtful care— detailed checkins. Thanks so much for hanging out with Raggy!! :)”

“Christina was great!! She was a fast and great communicator! She was always on time and made sure my cat was well taken care of! We will be sure to book her on our next trip!”

About: Hi! I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals since I was small. In addition to cat and dog sitting, I have taken care of other people's horses, cows, and hogs. I love taking long walks and would love to care for your four legged friends! Right now, overnight house and pet sitting is the best fit. I'm a theatre artist and have some shows lined up for the fall. I would also be able to do mid-day walks. Unfortunately, because I share with several room-mates, I would have to care for your pet in your home. However, I am responsible and detail oriented, and would take good care of your space while I'm there.
“This was our first time using Rover. Rose put us right at ease. She was so caring, attentive, and helpful! We were so comforted knowing Orange Julius was in excellent hands. Her daily reports were everything we could ask for to help us spend quality time away but never worry about our kitty. She is amazing and we will definitely book again soon!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life. I had a beautiful dog Dior that means the world to me. I love being around dogs and the joy and company they give. I work as a teacher during the day and I’m usually home any other time. I love coming home to my dog and spending time with her at home or at the park. I have a small backyard. I have a 2 year old female dog that’s fix. She is very friendly and love playing with other dogs. I also have a crate if your dog is crate trained.
“Tariq took care of my kitten twice this summer. He is very responsive, respectful and responsible. He loves animals and you can feel it. I totally recommend him.”

Germantown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jamilah took great care of my cat while I was away for the holidays! She is very friendly and communicative and having met with her before before my trip, I knew my cat would be in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend to friends!

Christina has taken care of our cats multiple times, and she always does a wonderful job! She's communicative, thorough, and great with our kitties. This past booking, she was able to check in on our cats over a holiday at the last minute. We highly recommend her and are grateful for her attentiveness!

Katherine was so wonderful and patient with my older kitty who acted a bit out of character woth me gone. Katherine was loving and comforting to her and reassuring to me throughout it all. I was worried I was going to come back to a very anxious kitty, but she's pretty calm thanks to Katherine's time and attention. Highly recommend her for your older kitties that need a little extra love and patience!
