About: While I grew up with and love dogs, my wife’s allergies prevent us from getting one of our own - I joined rover to hang with some cool pups and to help make sure I get my daily steps in! I work as an independent consultant and work from home, so I have flexibility during the day to help with short/long walks, trips to Wissahickon Park, or to head to one of the local dog parks, etc.. I live in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia over by Walnut Lane Golf Course. Prefer to stay in the local area (short drive is OK). In the past I've had a variety of big and small dogs ranging for dachshunds, to chihuahuas, to golden doodles, to labradors. So big or small, I'm happy to help care for your pup! I currently work as an independent consultant, so I have flexibility to schedule around my fur friends needs. I do occasionally travel for backpacking trips or to see friends, however you’ll have plenty of advance notice. Each pet and their needs are unique, whether it’s a nice long walk or a good long scratch, I’ll be sure to follow your regimen to ensure your pet’s needs are met.

“We’ve worked with Mike on multiple occasions for our drop in cat visits. Our cats have a unique situation currently and Mike worked with them perfectly! He send us pictures and updates regularly. We love him!”


“We are returning clients - cannot say enough good about these two. They are on time and thorough. They also pay attention to detail around our home, which is a god send when you’re away for a week! Will always return, Otis loves them!”


“Anthony is great! I have an older cat that requires medicine, and I can always count on Anthony to come through and take good care of him. He is reliable, punctual, and caring. I would definitely recommend you book with him!”

About: I truly love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers cozy naps, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m experienced with senior pets, giving meds, and reading body language to keep tails wagging and whiskers relaxed. I know how much your pet means to you—and I’ll show up with heart every single time. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I build my days around it. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. My schedule is very flexible since I work from home, which allows me to be reliable and consistent—something I know is super important when it comes to your pet’s routine and comfort. In my home, pets get lots of attention, cozy spots to relax, and a calm, safe environment. I follow their usual routines—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special needs—so they feel right at home. I keep things clean, low-stress, and full of affection. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and focus on creating a calm, loving presence for your pet. I stick closely to your instructions so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away.

“Ashley was above and beyond with my shy cat who is still learning the ropes of being inside a house. She left great updates and photos, and even took care of my outdoor plants amidst the hot weather.”



“This was my 5th time booking Jen and I will continue to do so! She is absolutely great with my cat and her communication is excellent, she always gives me a nice update on how my cat is doing and lets me know of any concerns.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s lucky enough to turn that passion into what I do every day. I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for nearly 4 years, and I also have a dog of my own; so I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention our furry friends need!! What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away, which is why I go the extra mile to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to what your pet needs most!! When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a pet sitter; you’re trusting someone who genuinely cares, has real hands-on experience, and sees every dog as the special companion they are!! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to schedule around your pet’s needs and give them consistent attention and care!! When your pet stays in my home, they become part of the family. I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I also have a very friendly 3 year old Labradoodle who loves having company; he’s great with other dogs and helps your pup feel right at home!!

“This was the first time that I used Nathanael to take care of Sophie, and he did a really good job. He followed all of my instructions very well, and left my house very neat. I will definitely use him again!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life and love making sure they are being active during the day while their owners might be away! My dog at home is around 80 pounds, she jumps on me and sometimes pulls on the leash very hard and I am able to withstand that. I have two dogs that we adopted when they were 3 months old so I know how to care for dogs who are not house trained. I am a student at Saint Joseph’s university with a big gap in my schedule on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday looking to provide dog walking services or drop in visits in the area! I have my own reliable transportation. I would love to provide companionship for your dog when needed, as well as get some of their energy out through walks! I can also play with them in the yard, make sure they are fed, and clean up any accidents!

“Christina was great. I was anxious about leaving my three month old puppy alone and Christina put my mind at ease. She communicated at every step of the process and let me know how Daisy was doing and was great with her.”


“Susan provided outstanding drop-in care for my dog, exceeding all expectations. It’s clear Susan doesn’t just treat this as a job—she cares deeply about animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. Thank you, Susan!”



About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl. In high school, I volunteered at our animal center which included providing care for guinea pigs, hedgehogs, snakes, frogs, geckos and a lot more! I’ve also been cat sitting for my friends here and there throughout the last few years. In college I worked at a PetSmart as a pet care associate, so I cared for fish, reptiles, small animals, and administered medication to hamsters or lizards that were sick. I’d also scoop up crickets and hand feed mealworms to bearded dragons, which has been great exposure therapy for my fear of bugs.. I currently work full time in IT, from 8:00AM - 4:30PM. I’m happy to drive over after work throughout the week, and can be flexible on weekends! I treat all animals with love, respect, and patience. I’m happy to provide care exactly as you request it - you know your pets best! I’m also happy to send photos & reach out to you with any questions


About: Growing up, I belonged to a family that would take in any rescues. We always had multiple cats and dogs who always seemed to get along as well as rabbits, birds, goats, horses, and various reptiles. Leaving instructors for pet sitters was more like leaving them a dissertation! My pets have always been a treasured part of my family, and when your pups are at my home, they will be treated as such. When I visit your home to provide personalized care, I will be prompt and will give your pet whatever they might need-including medication. I’ve nursed many pets through surgeries and other health challenges over the years. I’m comfortable around all sizes of dogs and of all ages. I love big dogs who think they are lap dogs :) I now work at home every day so your pet will never be alone. I’m up early in the morning with my children, so I’m able to accommodate early drop off and walks. I love having the excuse to leave my desk to take your dog on a walk or out to play in our fenced in yard! Our fenced in yard makes it easy for safe play. I typically host 2-3 dogs at a time with similar energy levels so your dog will be comfortable. Would you rather have your dog alone in my care? Make the request!
