“Gabrielle was amazing! Incredibly responsive and gave us such helpful updates while we were away for the weekend, including letting us know about our pups’ moods/how they seemed to be fairing. Also went above and beyond and kindly brought in our packages! We were in such a last minute bind and this was our first time with Rover, but Gabrielle truly saved the day and kept us confident in knowing that our pups were safe and cared for. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Megan (and her assistant/son, Noah) were just awesome! With a cat who is diabetic and requires twice-daily insulin shots at fairly evenly spaced intervals, I have found it extremely difficult to find someone local who is both willing and able to take on the job. Throw in a couple other indoor cats AND a couple semi-feral community cats in the backyard, and it becomes even harder to find a responsible person willing to take the assignment. Even though she doesn't exactly live next door (more like 25 minutes away), Megan adjusted her schedule to accommodate our family through the fourth of July and even tended to our garden during a ridiculous heatwave. I was thrilled to find Megan on relatively short notice and am crossing my fingers that she will once again be available to care for our brood the next time we're out of town!”
“Stephen and his family are the absolute best! My dogs were obviously comfortable and excited to see them daily. I received photos and updates every day, and am so happy to have trusted sitters. I would highly recommend them!”
“Brijana took great care of my cat! She’s very patient and detail oriented, and she took notes during the meet-and-greet. My cat is a very shy girl but she even showed her belly to Brijana couple times! Will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is my deep love for pets and extensive experience caring for them providing compassionate care for senior animals. I’ve honed my skills through years of helping friends and family, ensuring each pet receives personalized and attentive care. Pet care is central to my routine. I integrate daily walks, playtime, and feeding into my schedule, ensuring each pet’s needs are met consistently. I also stay flexible to accommodate any special care requirements or unexpected changes. In my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. For clients’ homes, I follow their specific routines and preferences, ensuring pets are comfortable and well-cared for. This includes feeding, exercise, and any special care instructions, while respecting the client’s home and maintaining a consistent environment for the pets
About: I have a natural way with dogs. I've cared for a variety of pets all my adult life, including several dogs, cats and reptiles. Dogs are by far my favorite. I like all breeds and mixes but am partial to Rotties and Boston Terriers. I'm an active person by nature and love to take walks in the park. I live in Collingswood, South Jersey just 7 miles from Philadelphia and spend a lot of time in the city. So I'm OK taking care of dogs in South Jersey or Philadelphia. Right now my dog is a boxer mix named Frankie. He’s 3 years old, and loves playing with all other dogs. It’s amazing how he adjusts his style of play to dogs of any size!
“Denille was amazing with our two dogs while we were away for a long day trip. We were quite anxious about leaving them, but she made us feel comfortable – giving medicine, taking photos, and keeping us updated. The house was very neat and tidy too, which was such a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life since day 1. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, porcupines, and more. I've been trusted by neighbors and family friends to pet/house sit, take walks, bathe and more since I was a small kid. I feel at home with animals and love getting to spend time with them whenever I can. I have owned many dogs in particular through their whole lives; from potty-training as puppies, to changing diapers as seniors, I've seen it all. I am currently working with a completely flexible schedule. That means I have all the time in the world to pamper your pups and other pets! My biggest concern will always be the comfort and safety of your pups. I have experience with both large and small breeds of dogs and believe that a structured environment and daily routine are beneficial to both the pets and the owner/caregiver.
About: Consistency- every weekend throughout highschool I worked with one of my elderly neighbor’s dog. Every weekend I walked and fed her, despite her somewhat disobedient personality- I saw substantial improvements in her behavior and attitude towards me. This taught me that when you show up for animals, they show up for you! Other than taking care of my own dog, I would love to incorporate morning, afternoon and nightly check-ins with pets throughout my day. Whether its just a quick stop to say hello or a nice long walk, I am willing to take time out of my day to care for others pets! I’m always willing to play and if theres space- letting dogs run around! Energetic dogs are my favorite and I love to watch them get all that energy out of their system and then calm them down with some cuddles and treats!
About: My goal is to care for your animal as much as I love and care for my own! I work for Rover as well as another caregiving agency and caring for animals is truly my passion. I am able to do daycare and drop ins on Thursday’s. I am able to do daycare, walks and *only able to do boarding* overnight from Friday after 7pm to Sunday 7pm! I am a rule follower! I want to be sure I’m working in a way that best suits you and your pet so we all feel safe and have fun!
About: I have owned animals since I was 10! I have taken care of puppies, kittens, older animals and even elderly pets. I am always delicate and will always make sure your baby is safe and sound, I can walk your dogs, take them outside to use the bathroom, feed them, play with them, etc. Your pet would have a blast with me! I work part time currently and all my school work is online so I would have so much time to hang out with your babies. I’m available to do walks or feedings on weekdays (excluding Friday) and in the afternoon on weekends and Fridays. I will always make sure your house is safe and would check every time to see if your doors are closed if your pet likes to run out. I will be willing to help with potty training for puppies if needed or even litter box training. I am calm and I often feel as if I have a bond with animals so there would never be any screaming or anything such when around your babies.
About: I've been a doggie daddy for over 15 years and have walked dogs professionally: very responsible and caring. Will treat your baby like my own! I work part-time so I am available during the week and weekends to walk and care for your fur baby, who will be in excellent and loving hands. I have a large, fenced in yard that is great for outdoor play with pets. It is in a very secure and well maintained area.

Hao N.
“hi my name is Angel Ly, Normally, I would take care of my sisters two dogs, one jack russel female named Bean and one male Shih Tzu mixed with Maltese named Rice. For most Jack Russells, they tend to have hyperactive energy levels which require lots of play time. Lucky for Bean, I was told that Hao maintains a active lifestyle, thus he was able to keep ip with Bean and her hyperactive behaviors. This was very important because of the fact that I have asthma, making it difficult for me keep up during play time. Despite them having varying energy levels, Hao was able to adapt to both of the dogs needs allowing the perfect amount of play time for each dog! I will definitely rehire Hao as he took his time taking care of my sisters dogs with so much passion and love! Thank you Hao!”

“Having Katherine take care of our 2 dogs has been a positive experience. She is responsible and always arrives on time. Her patience with our pets was endless and our dogs really like being with her. At times, our dogs could be difficult but she always kept calm and focused and handled each situation very well. I would recommend her to anyone. You and your pets will be happy you chose her to take care of them .”
Katherine S.
“Katie would be a great candidate for this role! She is a very fun and responsible friend to both humans and pets!! In particular, I commend her patience and loyalty to her loved ones. She has an innate sense of compassion that is evident whenever I see her interact with her own dog and younger brother. Katie’s work ethic is hard to top, as well! Katie would be a great pick for this role with Rover!”
