“Sarah was absolutely amazing! We stayed in Philly for a couple days and she took great care of our pup while we were out exploring! She made us feel so comfortable knowing that our buddy was safe and happy. They went on lots of walks and had lots of snuggles and she was great about updating us every step of the way! She also sent some pretty fantastic pictures. We will absolutely book Sarah next time we’re in town and are so appreciative of her! Also, her doggy Harry Nilsson is such a sweetheart and was a great companion for our dog!”
“Christie and Drew took the best care of our puppy, David! They were incredibly communicative throughout the day, sending the cutest pictures and updates, and made us feel so comfortable. They were responsive, flexible, and very easy to work with. We will definitely book their services again in the near future! Thanks for everything!”
“Quynh made our first rover experience so easy! Quick to respond and accommodated our early drop off time. It was our puppy’s first time alone with someone new and she loved it! Quynh made sure Britney got enough exercise and rest and we’re soo grateful! Will definitely be booking her again!”
“John took great care of my pup. He was super attentive to group dynamics between the dogs and made sure my pup could hang with him on the couch while the others played. I really appreciated John’s updates and would definitely send Roscoe to him again!”
“Zyiana, was highly communicative and flexible. I needed doggy daycare for my fur baby in a pinch and she showed up. She provided tons of great photos along with taking my baby on 3 walks”
“Victoria was a wonderful sitter for Joy! She and her sister took my girl for a car ride which she loves. Joy looked so excited and happy when I picked her up so I knew she had a great time with Victoria. She has a beautiful home with SO much space for Joy to play and Joy even had a playmate, Victoria’s pup Bailey! I would certainly recommend her and would book with her again if I’m in the Philadelphia area. Thank you Victoria for caring for my girl!”
“I have one of those dogs that can open doors, turn on the radio and open her crate. She’s just so independent and intelligent that most sitters are not up for that kind of challenge. Kiara is not one who is easily overwhelmed by all that. She was amazing with both of my dogs while with the loss of a family member. Desi (GSD, cattle dog and pittie) and Biggie smalls (old English bulldog) are in love with her. She is responsible, prompt, compassionate, observant and most importantly loves dogs. I feel blessed to have her watch my kids. Every time I started to wonder how they were doing I got a video or a picture or just a message saying what they were up to.”
About: Growing up in Italy surrounded by dogs, I developed an early and bond with animals. Up until a couple of years ago, I had a large dog, that I trained from puppy age. I understand the specific patience, strength, and confidence required to handle dogs safely. Whether it’s managing high energy on a walk or providing a calm environment for a senior pet, I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I am comfortable with basic training reinforcement and am highly attentive to behavioral cues, ensuring your pet feels understood and secure in my care. Pet care is a part of my daily life. I work from home, which means your pet will rarely be left alone. I offer a "presence-heavy" environment where your dog can nap at our feet while I work or enjoy frequent play breaks in between meetings. Because I am available all week, including weekends, I can provide a consistent routine. Safety is my priority. In my home, I maintain a "paws-on-the-ground" policy, ensuring the environment is pet-proofed and free of hazards. When walking or visiting your home, I am hyper-vigilant about leash safety and surroundings. I believe in clear communication and will provide you with frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they are doing. Whether we are playing in the living room or out for a stroll, I focus on positive reinforcement and maintaining the specific boundaries and schedules you’ve already established for your pet.
“Iliana was really sweet and took great care of my pup. When I picked her up I could see how happy she was and that she had a great time playing with Luna. Would book again! Thank you!”
“Megan, John & Brisco were amazing with Connery! He was right at home with them, enjoying plenty of walks and snuggles. They were super attentive, accommodating & responsive while I was away for work and jury duty.”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different breeds of dogs since I was a teenager. I love animals and will be sure to treat your dog with love and care! I am currently working from home, so I will be able to provide lots of attention to your dog. I also walk routinely in the morning and evenings. I do not have any pets that live with me, however there are many open parks and dog parks within a walkable distance from my house.
About: I have had and taken care of pets my whole life! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish, you name it. I have a sweet-hearted dog named Yumi, who is a Husky / Rottweiler mix, that my partner and I rescued in 2023. I’m great with all dogs and cats, young and energetic, or older and in need of a bit of care. My primary job is as a wedding videographer. Meaning that I have a lot of time free during the weekdays that I can dedicate to caring for your best friend! I have a large row home with a backyard, and Yumi gets along great with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to spend quality time with your pup in your home, or take them for a good long walk!
“We (Cali & Spanky 🐶) absolutely LOVE our doggie-sitters!! Malik & Quanence are so much fun, they play with us, take us on fun walks and always give us snacks we when are done. They are the BESTEST!! Can’t wait to see you again!! Love Cali 🐶 n Spanky 🐕”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, being raised with 3, watching friends and neighbors pups, and now having my own. I’ve raised my son Bloo since he was 10 weeks old, potty training, teaching him tricks, and loving for him for almost 6 years. I love meeting new pups, even being called a “dog magnet”, and would be happy to meet your pup! I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I work from home. I have 24/7 availability to walk and watch your fur baby, so contact me for specifics! Having a dog is more than just a pet; they’re family. I’m here to give the dog the mental stimulation and exercise they need, and match their needs. Walks, playtime, and cuddles are essential to providing the love and care you’re fur baby needs!
“Kathryn was phenomenal and I would highly recommend her. She was very communicative, sent tons of photos and an amazing daily write up of how Toni did. Our guy can be a bit nervous at first but she immediately became a trustworthy human. We already have our next stay booked! Thank you”
“Shakira did such an amazing job with my dog Paris! She sent so many pictures and kept me updated the whole time. You can tell she really loves dogs and it shows in her care.”
About: My daughter would love to walk, or dogsit. She loves the animal shelter. We just can’t have a dog full time anymore. We can offer overnights, or drop in and walks would be great! We had a Maltese mixed with Cocker Spaniel for 2 years. I would be the primary sitter but this is mainly for my daughter. The love she has for dogs is incredible. She will love and treat your dog like it is her own. Doing this job will allow me to fill the void for my daughter since we can’t have a dog full time right now. Hopefully you will give us a chance :-) My daughter would probably want smaller dogs to sleep with her!! Choose us for the job! I work from home so I will always be home, most dogs like to lay by my desk! My daughter will be in school through the year and summer she will be available more. I have a fenced small patio. We have a small park up the street where we could take the dog to get some exercise in.
About: I have grown up with a household of dogs ranging from toy size to large breeds. They are family and I will treat them as such! I currently work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pop in for a walk or visit with your pup in your home whenever necessary. I have a dog of my own so I understand the importance of following their specific needs in terms of walking, being crated, needing medication or special food restrictions. I’m happy to understand what your individual dog needs!

Brigette was incredible! She is the first rover in Philly we’ve tried and we don’t have to look any further! Both our pups immediately loved and and felt comfortable. Brigette sent us tons of pics and updates - the best kind of sitter! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys!
Mara was incredible! She looked after our highly anxious dog for a full day, and our dog had an amazing time. This was the first time we left our dog with someone else, and she gave us frequent updates and worked with us to make sure our dog was set up for success
Olivia was absolutely amazing with Ruey. She not only was able to watch Ruey for two days straight on a last minute basis, but she was also very attentive to Ruey. She took Ruey for walks, fed her, and spent time with her. Ruey was excited to see Olivia and enjoyed her stays! I highly recommend booking Olivia and will do so in the future!
Our dog Leo had an amazing time with Kyla and Hendrix. He’s high energy and tends to be a little nervous staying with new people, but Kyla took him out on a hike and played with him which kept him busy and made him comfortable. He came home tired and so happy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for great dog care!
Victoria was a wonderful sitter for Joy! She and her sister took my girl for a car ride which she loves. Joy looked so excited and happy when I picked her up so I knew she had a great time with Victoria. She has a beautiful home with SO much space for Joy to play and Joy even had a playmate, Victoria’s pup Bailey! I would certainly recommend her and would book with her again if I’m in the Philadelphia area. Thank you Victoria for caring for my girl!
Sarah: Sorry but I just finished music lesson. I hereby authorize as I tried to do earlier that Luis should get Belle back because she is totally bonded to him and they really love each other and I hope he can find a way to keep her because if I’d brought her home with me in less than a minute she’d have jumped my fence and run off to find him . She’s his. He doesn’t have to return my money unless he wants to but if not please spend it on Belle’s care: full DHLPP vaccine, heartworm tests and prevention, flea/tick quality prevention (both above can be done now with shots rather than monthly pills, any other necessary vet work at best subsidized clinic in the area, spaying so if she runs away again she at least isn’t forced into “sex slavery” breeding litter after litter of doodle puppies for unethical breeders/puppy mills. And since she’d SO bonded to Luis he MUST find someone who can erect an 8’ fence or she’ll run away again. Believe me, that’s what the dog I just had to put down at age 15 did for her first seven years. Run away. Finally I got Mister Kook, the white golden retriever I brought to meet Belle hoping they would click but they didn’t at all, Belle showed no interest in me, I should never have taken her, but I was completely distracted and freaking out fearing the eye specialist (retinologist) I was about to see would say that the age-related macular degeneration that I have and watched my mother go functionally blind from starting at my age was progressing and I would share her fate. (A close family friend was going through the same thing at the same time.) But the doctor told me “You are NOT about to go blind and we have many new treatments.” I was so euphoric it took me an hour after Belle ran away to realize this was a serious problem. Purvina and Rohil were terrific and deserve five gold stars for all they did to get her back. texted to I guess Purvina last night but I thought it was Rover: "If this is Rover, or even if not, even before the terrific amazing news about finding Belle, I wanted to give Purvina and Rohil a five start Rover review and say something like “they showed amazing dedication and resourcefulness and energy trying to resolve a complicated problem.” Without describing the problem. Even before finding Belle, they deserved to keep their Super Sitter status and more. But please don’t ask me all the other questions asked in these reviews since I barely saw the inside of their (lovely) house etc etc. They were super about updating me." +1 (908) 705-4145: Thank you so much sarah! Do you mind posting this authorization in the Rover app
Natalie did a great job watching my dog, also named Luna! She had great communication and sent pictures of the two Lunas together to keep me updated. She learned about Luna before she came so she could prepare and make her comfortable. I recommend Natalie for any pup sitting!
