Top rated Manayunk house sitters
“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!”
“Anthony stayed with my dog for about two weeks while I was out of town. He had great communication the entire time and took good care of my dog and my house. I recommend Anthony and will continue to request him when I need a petsitter!”
“Megan was so sweet and chill! We needed someone to keep our Alaskan Malamute company while we went into the city for a concert in the evening. She was very responsive during setting up the house stay and communicated throughout the duration we were gone with helpful updates and photos of our anxious dog. He was immediately fond of her and even seemed to miss her after she left! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a house sitter.”
“Tina was so sweet and caring with Tolly. We felt very comfortable with her and appreciated how loving she was towards Tolly. We would absolutely book her again.”
“Kristen was absolutely amazing caring for my diabetic, blind dog. She went above and beyond to meet every one of her unique needs, and her communication throughout was exceptional. I always felt informed and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, compassionate caregiver. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I've had a family dog for 6 years now and I love taking care of her, she means the world to me. I've also cared for neighbors' dogs for both single days and overnight multiple days. I enjoy cats as well, I don't own any but I have taken care of a neighbor's cat multiple times and I have numerous friends who own cats that I enjoy being around. I'm currently a student and I will be doing clinical rotations at hospitals this summer so I am not available every day, however they only take place 3 days a week so I am completely free 4 days a week and have some limited time after clinicals one day. I recently moved and do not have any pets at my current location. I could take a pet to my place but prefer going to a client's home.
“Lora did a great job with my two anxious rescue dogs while caring for them at my house while I was away. She was very communicative & shared multiple daily updates & photos. She also noticed that my outdoor plants were in need of water & offered to lend a hand with watering them.”
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“Katelyn was very nice sociable and very good with Coco Chanel. She sent updates with pics we didnt hsve to worry at all, which was such a relief, as not all sitters are attentive to our pet. We appreciate her help, and you will too!”
“Shannon saved us this weekend taking care of our cat and dog! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed Shannon at a moments notice and she so graciously cared for our animals and home all weekend. She was very communicative and both our animals loved her. Pretty sure my dog had the time of her life this past weekend. Would definitely recommend!”
“Val did an awesome job watching our two large dogs at our house for an extended period! It was clear that she really cared and spent lots of timing playing with them and making them feel loved. She kept us updated with details of how the dogs were doing and shared lots of pictures so that we never worried. Val also went above and beyond in keeping the house in tidy shape and making sure that everything was in order when we returned from our trip. She will absolutely be our first call for all of our future pup sitting needs!”
“Anna was great with our pups. She provided frequent updates and pictures to us which definitely made our trip more relaxed and enjoyable. She also left our house very clean. I’ll recommend Anna to anyone and we will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for the past 10+ years! In the past 6 years I have also worked with other types of animals as well. I am a zookeeper so I have worked with a large variety of animals but specifically specialize in big cats! Have a lot of experience in understanding animal behavior and being someone families can rely on. I can be available before or after my work day (before 7am and after 6pm). I also have unique weekends so Tuesday and Wednesdays are fully available to help your fur friends. When coming to your home, I will treat it like my own, with respect and care. It is important to not only respect the space but also understand it is the animals safe space.
About: I have had my own family dog, Mabel, since 2018. I have been pet sitting for my friends and neighbors for years. I’m always good for a long walk, playtime in the fenced yard, or just relaxing on the couch. I’m a college student home for the summer. I am available every day and night except Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-5. I am flexible to work around your schedule and what works for your pet. My friendly dog, Mabel, who is a Mini Goldendoodle will love to play with your dog in my fenced in yard. All pets will be cared for with my full attention and plenty of pictures will be sent your way!
“Nikki is great! She's a good communicator, sending cute photos and updates everyday. The best thing is that, when I arrive home after a multi-day trip, my pup is happy and relaxed and the house is exactly as I left it. I strongly recommend her.”
“Mochi loves her and appeared very comfortable in the photos while she was petsitting him. She was also really respectful of my apartment and left it really nice. I will definitely book her again!”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
Manayunk pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had been looking for a dog sitter for our two dogs for a little while and couldn’t be happier with finding Ricky. From the first time that we met her, we knew she was the perfect choice for our dogs Tate and Penny. She took the time to come to our house for a meet and greet, and we spent so much time chatting about life and dogs, Tate and Penny and ourselves. Communications with her were very clear and timely, her pricing was very competitive, but more importantly was the way that she interacted with our dogs that made us feel so comfortable to let her stay in our home and spend the time watching our dogs. Both she and her fiancé, Joe know how to make the pups feel loved and provide the pets’ owners with the security that their animals are being taken care of safely. She provided us with photos daily. Ricky left our house very clean after spending the week here, and our dogs were clearly happy. We couldn’t be happier finding Ricky and Joe to help us when we needed them and we look forward to working with them in the future. We’d give them six stars if we could!!
It's always nerve-wracking leaving my dog with someone new for the first time, especially when I'm not easily accessible. Good thing I took a chance on Anna - she handled everything perfectly! I really felt like she treated Turtle like her own pet for the week. Her and her partner provided all the care and loving that I'd hoped for. I will definitely use her again!
Mars is a great human! She took excellent care of my babies and provided sweet photos and updates throughout the visit. I felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care and would absolutely rebook in the future. I also appreciate my space being left clean the way I left it. Thank you Mars for your care!
Liv is the best! She watched our two boy cats for two weeks while we were away. They are both pretty needy and have separate foods. They looked so happy in the daily photos, I honestly wasn’t worried about them at all, although I did miss them! We will def be using Liv again
Larry was absolutely fantastic! After another sitter canceled 4 days before our trip, Larry was able to be very flexible and help us house sit our two Golden’s for a week! He was very prompt during our meet and greet and during the stay, he gave us daily updates on our dogs! He left our house clean took great care of our boys while we were away! We will definitely be booking Larry for future sittings!
Maria is amazing! She was so patient and accommodating with my fearful and reactive dog. My dog ended up loving her and I felt very comfortable that she was being well cared for when I was gone. Maria sent regular updates and took amazing care of the house, leaving it very clean. Definitely would recommend Maria for your dog sitting needs!
