“I was very pleased with Keri's care for our two cats. I appreciated that she took notes during our meet and greet about what we wanted and while we were gone she did everything that we requested, including refilling our backyard bird feeder. She sent notes and pictures that documented what she did and how our cats were doing.”

“Courtney was phenomenal! She took great care of your pets, went the extra mile to care for our space, and provided consistent and clear communication. It was so evident that she deeply cares about our pets and wanted to ensure that our family had a relaxed, positive time while we were away. Thank you, Courtney!”

“Thank you to Jaclyn for taking the last minute booking. We really appreciate her and the great care that she took of our Bunny & Howie and our home. Jaclyn sent us updates and photos which we love to see while we are away. We will absolutely book Jaclyn again. :)”

“Lucy was so great with our three dogs! We have 2 seniors dogs and a puppy. She sent photos and updates of them daily. Thank you again will definitely be booking again!”

“Marilyn took great care of our dog. She was very friendly and caring. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. We will definitely reach out to her again to watch our dog in the future.”

“Brian was great with Tucker all the way from the meet and greet through the two check ins. He made our anxious dog feel comfortable and his communication is great and proactive. We highly recommend Brian and will be booking him for weekly services going forward!”

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.
“Trederica was wonderful! Kept me updated with pictures every visit & accommodated all my needs when it came to my fur baby, would absolutely book her again.”

“Ally took such good care of my cat while we were away! He can be nervous around strangers but he warmed right up to her and she took great care of him and kept us up to date on how he was doing. She did a great job!”

“Jeffrey was kind and responsible with my dog Oso. I also appreciate his patience and understanding when there was an issue with getting into my home for the visit (I accidentally had forgotten to replace the batteries in my garage door opener so had to direct him where to find a spare key). Thank you!!”

“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”

About: I love dogs but my work and travel schedule impact my ability to have my own dog. I'm looking forward to spend time and caring for your dog and all the good that will bring to all of us when I am available. I work remotely 2 days/ week with a long commute but available to care for a pet the days I am not traveling. I also travel one week each month to Arizona for family so looking to optimize my chance to care for your dog when I am in home in Pennsylvania. I live in a townhouse community that is not fully fenced and when I care for my sister's dog, I walk her on her leash around our community that loves dogs with many caring dog owners around me. We also hang out in the house and she loves to sleep on my office while I work and gives me a great excuse to disconnect from work every few hours and go for long walks in the mutiple, beautiful parks around where I live.
“My dog was well cared for and happy during the drop-in. Everything was done as instructed, and the sitter even went beyond expectations to ensure my pup was comfortable and content. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was 13. I've reliably given medications, fed, walked and bathed pets of many neighbors, friends, and family. I've played with pets with enthusiasm and energy. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from a small Shetland Sheepdog to a very large and strong Rhodesian Ridgeback. I like to think of myself as, less of a stranger to the dog, and more of a fun, friendly face that will bring many walks, snuggles, and praise! My daily and weekly routine revolves around my pet care! Being available and reliable is my number one priority! Whether your dog simply needs a midday walk because you're stuck at work or your dog needs a sitter for a couple of days, I aim to meet your needs and exceed your expectations of quality care. I am happy to come to your home where your dog feels most safe and comfortable! I want your pet to feel as little anxiety as possible. I'm sure you've built a wonderful life for your dog(s) at home and I would be happy to care for them without taking them out of their home environment. Just like if we go on vacation, coming home to our own bed, our own food, our TV set up just the way we like it, home is comforting and familiar.
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.
“Super friendly and nonjudgemental about the fact that I haven’t been able to clean my litter often enough due to chronic pain. Went above and beyond by carrying more than just the litter trash out behind the back of the building to the dumpster.”

“Jillian was amazing with Tinkerbell! Tinkerbell loves her! I was away on an extended trip and was so happy to get consistent updates and pictures. Jillian was very communicative and responsive.”

Jenkintown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christina is so sweet. I made the best decision ever when I booked her to drop in and feed my crew on the afternoon of my surgery. It was a huge weight off my mind knowing I didn't have to worry about my kitties being cared for while I was still on an anesthesia stupor! Looking forward to booking her again!

JJ is trustworthy, reliable, and took excellent care of my two kitties while I was away for almost two weeks. She dropped in every day to ensure they had their daily wet food, scooped their litter, and kept sufficient dry kibble and water available to them. My home was kept neat and clean, and she brought in my mail each day. Most importantly, she is an animal lover herself so my boys had playtime on the sunny enclosed porch - their favorite space - and affection! My experience with JJ was very positive. She is a genuinely nice person and I will definitely use her services again whenever I travel. Thanks, JJ!
Sarafina did a great job caring for my cat, Lawrence! He just needed daily drop-in visits and she sent lots of photos. She stopped by beforehand to make sure she knew exactly what he needed and was friendly and knowledgeable! She did an excellent job with my instructions and gave him plenty of playtime while she stopped in. I highly recommend Sarafina for any of your pets needs!

My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!
