“He is great my dog always enjoys when he stops over to take her out. I don’t need regular walks but when I know I’m gonna need a random walk he is always able to take her out.”
“John has been great with our dog! He takes her for long walks and keeps us updated. He even brought a towel for her on a rainy day which was thoughtful. We will definitely continue to work with him.”
About: Volunteered at dog day care/ grooming center for 6 months, I’ve dog sat for family friends when they went away on trips. I have 2 dogs one a bully mix the other a pincher mix From the moment I wake up I’m greeted by my two dogs Coco and Luna who I have to make sure are fed and clean When at home I try to play with my dogs a ton or teach them new tricks which hasn’t worked yet but I’m hopeful :)
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other pets for the past year and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away or at work. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I currently am working 4 days a week and love to do this as a part time job! Any time I am not at work, I am available to your fur babies! I make sure pets stay comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In clients’ homes, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty clean-up, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and happy!
“I broke my foot this summer and was unable to walk my Cinnamon. Kathy has walked her 3x week for 12wks now, and I couldn't be happier with her. She is prompt and reliable, she has not missed a walk in the 12 wks. She responds to texts right away. And on top of that, Kathy is very personable and easy to talk to. But most importantly, my Cinnamon loves her and is so excited for her walks. So thank you, Kathy!”
“Anthony was great with our dog. Bentley warmed up to him after only 1 meet and greet. He was understanding and aware of any quirks or things to look out for with Bentley!”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I watched my first dog give birth and my sisters and I helped my mom take care of the puppies. Washing and brushing them, helping to train them, taking them on walks to the parks. Every dog that I had and watched was loved for unconditionally. I don't treat any dog different from another. I want the dogs to feel at home and feel like they will be loved just as their owners love them. If there are special things an owner wants me to do with their dog, it will get done. I ask that your dog be trained to follow simple commands (sit, stay, come, etc) , be house trained (no going inside, no jumping on furniture, hovering over food, etc), no whining, barking or tearing things up when left in a separate room &/or alone in home, leash trained and also please be sure to have your pet properly socialized (this helps to keep me, your pet and anyone or any animal around safe.) If you agree to the terms above and I have an experience with your pet that says otherwise, you will be charged an extra fee for clean up, noise ordinance, and inconvenience on my part. I understand that animals have accidents, can have anxiety in new settings, and many things are unpredictable, and whats reasonable can be worked out; but I do expect animals that I sit to be trained and properly socialized. I also expect the owner to communicate on any possible issues that could arise regarding your pet. As anything that isn't communicated will be seen as an inconvenience for me. Please communicate with me, I'm very understanding😊 I care about the experience that your pet and I have together. So to get the best experience we have to work together ☺ I am currently a stay at home mom. I feed and walk your pets on the same schedule as my own (2 times a day, 2-3 walks a day). Unless otherwise stated by owner that your pet is on a strict schedule. I care for your pets by doing my best to stick with the schedule that you have them on. I don’t have a fenced in yard so when we're outside, I monitor them closely and be sure to keep them on a leash. I make sure they are well fed, and if they aren't eating, I have certain things I do that usually help with that. I make sure they are well hydrated. Your pets will be safe in my care and will have a great time!
“Amy has been a blessing. Our Santi has anxiety and generally takes quite a while to warm up to people. Finding a walker/sitter has been a challenge. When Amy came for a meet and greet Santi barked only a couple times before deciding Amy is her new BFF! I was worried she might change her attitude when Amy came to walk her. Amazingly, so far it's been great! Amy is a dog whisperer. I feel completely at ease know Amy will be staying with Santi when I travel for business. Thank you so much, Amy! We appreciate you tremendously.”
About: Passionate about pets, I treat them like my babies. I provide care, playful and loving environment for your furry friends. From cozy boarding to attentive daycare, my mission is to ensure your pet feels right at home while you are away. I have a very flexible work from home schedule (at home full time) that allows me to have a set times for nap, potty, and play time. In the event you fit baby needs more care I'm able to adjust my schedule to ensure their needs are met. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly small dogs to keep your baby company. I can easily crate dog if needed. They will have plenty of space and toys to play with
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and animals since I was a little kid. Over the course of my life I have always had an animal by my side! Whether that be a dog, cat, fish, reptiles or even animals like hamsters and rabbits every single one them have been given the love and attention needed! Recently I had to care for my elderly dog with her medication and mobility issues. I have also been pet sitting for my families who are in need of assistance with special needs animals. I am available 7 days a week anytime during the day. I am also available nights and weekends as well. So if you need to go out of town for an overnight I have plenty experience in house sitting as well. I always make sure that they have a proper sleep schedule and also make sure their day is full of activities and excitement so they don’t miss a beat when they are back in the arms of their wonderful owner.
“Justin replied quickly to our request, and we were able to set up a meet and greet quickly and conveniently. Our dog loved Justin immediately upon meeting him. Justin kept us informed during the walk and sent photos. This is our first time using Rover and if we need services again I would use Justin.”
About: Hi! I'm Nicole and I am a dancer/choreographer/dance teacher/mom currently living in Collingswood. With the little time that I have off I thought this would be the perfect way to make a little extra cash AND to get to hang out with some animals! I have been dog/cat sitting since high school and always treat every animal as if it's my own. I never had a pet growing up (I was one of 4 kids so there was no time or space for a dog) but have always been a huge pet lover! I currently have a 13 year old cat named Pistachio who I love more than anything. I would love to get the chance to hang out with your furry friend! I am the main person who takes care of my cat. I make sure she has water, food, clean her litter box, and okay with her. I have free time often and I love going for walks! I prefer not to have pets in my home so I like going to others homes to sit their animals. I treat the home and the pet as if they were my own.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I’ve worked with pups of all ages, including seniors and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, eye drops, and ointments, and I always approach care with patience and compassion. We know that every dog is different. Whether your pup is a couch potato who prefers snuggles and naps, an adventurer eager to explore the park, or a puzzle-solving genius, I’ll match their energy and needs. Your dog likes their space or needs time to warm up? No problem! My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I would love to a do a meet and greet if you're available so I can learn more about your dog. We're able to host 2 dogs, but let me know if your dog is more of a lone wolf and we'll accommodate if possible! I work from home full-time, which means your dog will never be left alone for long. I can take them on regular walks, let them out into the yard as needed, and we can keep each other company throughout the day. 3-4 walks a day are typical for our house. We can sunbathe on the deck and play in the yard on warm days. There's also plenty of room to play and relax inside. I'm rarely out of the house longer than 4 hours but could be up to 6 on the weekends. My Home: 🏡 Small fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time 💕 No children so your dog gets all the attention ✨ Smoke-free, calm environment 🛏️ Plenty of toys and comfy spots to relax I live with my wife in a house on a quiet street in Collingswood. We have two floors and can use a baby gate if your pup has trouble with stairs. We love our home, it is neat and clean and you can expect a calm environment for your bud.
About: I’m already pet sit through another site and have decided to expand my services to Rover! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Whether it was dogs, cats, or other animals, having pets around has always been a big part of my life. I have been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since elementary school. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, even wild ones! My experience spans beyond just cats and dogs; I’ve cared for reptiles, bunnies, frogs, fish, and even farm animals. I pride myself on being clean, respectful, and attentive to the needs of the pets I care for. I enjoy getting to know each animal and learning to care for them in the best suitable way.
“Robert was amazing with my dog, Teddy! He was reliable, kind, and made sure Teddy got plenty of exercise and attention. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos as it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Teddy loved him, and I’d definitely book Robert again!”
“Karina was great! When my dog wouldn’t get in her collar Karina problem solved and made the best of the visit. She kept me up to date with what was going on. Would definitely use Karina again!”

Anthony is awesome! We booked him for several one-hour walks with our dog, Margo. He was always prompt, walked her the entire time, and takes seemingly professional-level glamour shots of her each day (literally I've never seen better pics of my pooch). He is super friendly and was so kind when he visited for an initial meet and greet. We'd love to use him again!
Wow talk about going beyond the call of duty! I recently moved and my pup is not taking it to well and was having a lot of separation anxiety when I left for work. I booked Artesha as a last minute cry for help and she accepted and walked him within 20 minutes of my request! Truly amazing !
We've used Bri multiple times and couldn’t be happier. Our pup, Nakita, looks forward to her visits. You can instantly tell she has a genuine love for animals; she treats Nakita like her own. She's incredibly reliable, always on time, and sends the best photo updates— Nakita mid-leap with pure joy, which makes my day. She's super flexible with our crazy schedule! Highly recommend her for anyone!
Laura has been a wonderful help walking Auggie at lunch! She’s super communicative and reliable, which has provided peace of mind while we’re at work! Auggie is a rambunctious teenager and Laura makes sure he is taken care of when we’re away!! Highly recommend!
Sophia was great with my dog. He loves being out and gathering smells (he’s a hound). She took him on a long walk to his favorite smelling spots and wore him out which was great since I had to leave him home alone for an extended period that day. I highly recommend her and will use her again.
