House Sitting in Manayunk, Philadelphia

“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”

“If you need someone to watch your pet, Caitlin is excellent. She was communicative and sent updates and pictures while we were away. Hendrix loved his time with Caitlin and I would use her again in the future.”

“Madison is a very caring person, she made sure my cat was never alone for too long (she stayed over more than I expected her to). She paid a lot of attention and played with my Roxy, which made me feel very relaxed while away. I will definitely use her services again in the future, if she’s available:).”

“Nikki was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Georgie, while we were away. Her updates were great and put our minds at ease. We came home to a relaxed and content pup - always the best sign! Thank you, Nikki, for treating him like one of your own!”

“Amber was amazing from our first messages to when we got back home. She took excellent care of our sweet dog, took him on at least two walks per day, played with him and provided lots of photos and updates every evening. Our house was in even better condition than we left it. Communication was easy and prompt. I want to take more short trips now that we have a trusted dog sitter. I highly recommend Amber.”

“As always - Jasmine was amazing with Xena! She sent tons of videos and pictures through out her stay keeping us updated. She always goes above and beyond to care for our husky!”

“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”

“Logan was awesome. Super communicative with my partner while I was incommunicado, took great care of my house, and even took Ruby on some extra field trips out of the city to stretch her legs. I came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Arlo! Kayla was super communicative and friendly to work with. She’s a natural with dogs and was very attentive to what Arlo needed. Can’t recommend enough!”

About: I have grown up with large dogs, specifically Great Pyrenees, and cats since birth. This early experience gave me a great understanding of animal body language and I feel confident when forming relationships with new animals. In addition, I am comfortable with pets of all sizes (big pups welcome!) From brushing to administering medication, I am experienced in providing everything your pet needs to thrive. I am currently working full-time from home and would love to walk/check-in on your pet during my mid-day break! Additionally, I will be available in the mornings before 8am and after 4pm. I am available most weekends anytime of day. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I would be happy to care for your pet in yours. I prefer to learn the rhythms and routines that you have with your pet so that I can create the most comfortable and consistent experience possible.

“Danielle was great! We were running out of cat food towards the end of the week and she ran out and got more. She sent pics of the dogs when we were away and they seemed to love her. She straightened up the house and all was good. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Christina was a great fit for our two senior dogs. Both are reactive and have leash anxiety, so having someone calm and comfortable with energetic dogs was essential. We’d definitely book her again.”

Jared W.

“Anthony took great care of our pup. He was super punctual and understanding of our schedule. He made sure she was fed, properly cared for, and happy. He sent updates. Would definitely rebook.”

Rachel F.

“Larry watched our 2 senior pups for a long weekend. We were nervous as this was our first time using Rover but Larry made it a breeze! He came out for a meet and greet and read through my overly detailed instructions ahead of time. He sent us daily pics and updates and even brought the mail in. We have never come home to such chilled out dogs after a trip. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking for some quality care for their pets.”

“Brewster had a fabulous time with Deanna. She gave him lots of walks, played with him outside, sent pics, and left the house clean. We will definitely use her again”

“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”

Joshua B.

“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated with pics of hector when we were away and was very accommodating. She has a great kind energy about her I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Lia! I grew up with golden retrievers and now have a playful 5-year-old pup named Milo. I’ve grown up with dogs and they have always been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting and walking for neighbors at a young age and recently decided it was time to download rover. I work from home M-F in the manayunk area, and I absolutely love playing and hanging out with dogs. I have the most experience with big hyper breeds since I grew up/ live with them however, I have no issues with smaller breeds. Feel free to reach out to me, I would love to help out and meet some furry friends! I’m currently working remote so I am available in the afternoons Tuesday- Thursday to walk/play with dogs! I’ve been in the photo industry for 5 years so if you ever want photos of you and your pup I’m more than happy to do so! I follow instruction and keep clear communication with dog owners throughout the day, I’m able to help train and give dogs medicine if needed! If your dog is not friendly around other dogs or is skittish I respect their space and keep them out of situations they would be uncomfortable in. I like to give openers updates every time I’m with a dog so they know they are in good hands and if anything unusual is going on with their pup.

“Alex and Marisa were very kind and patient with our nervous pup! It was her first time boarding since we adopted her, and Alex and Marisa took very good care of her and sent lots of photos.”
