“Booked Emily last minute to watch Brandy, and she did not disappoint! Emily was very communicative throughout booking process and during the stay. I will definitely look to use her in the future.”
“Lauryn and Hunter we’re a wonderful choice! My husband and I were new to rover and very nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn’t know but Lauryn and Hunter were great and we’d be happy to book with them again! They were so kind, easy to work with, and sent lots of updates on how Luna was doing during her stay with them.”

“John watched our two Frenchies for six nights while we were on a family vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We don’t trust just anyone with our pups, but from our very first meet and greet, we knew they were in great hands. His knowledge, patience, and understanding of French Bulldogs are something only another Frenchie owner can truly appreciate. While we were away, John sent regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our fur babies were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention, which allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and truly understands your dog’s needs, we can’t recommend John enough. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Lincy is our go-to sitter for our dog, she always does a great job keeping him active and having fun. During his last visit with Lincy, our dog had recently been diagnosed with an infection and needed to take several medications. She was diligent in making sure he took all his meds (even when he spat them out), which we really appreciated! We’d recommend Lincy in a heartbeat!”
“Karl had a wonderful time with Yulia! Finding a good dog sitter includes the challenge of (1) finding the right person, and (2) finding the right environment for your dog. Yulia is the whole package! She asked great questions ahead of his stay in order to be prepared (and to prepare us), we had a great meet-and-greet ahead of the stay as first time clients, she shared clear instructions on how to prepare for boarding (what to bring and not bring, etc.), communicated expectations around photos/updates and routines, and clearly loves caring for dogs. She replies quickly and is very punctual. My dog Karl can be nervous or shy, and he was right at home and very comfortable from the very first day. He came back home happy and totally stress-free. He had a wonderful time, and I would highly recommend Yulia to anyone looking for a professional, kind, high-quality boarding experience.”
“Mina was very good with everything no one else was available for my needs but she was very reliable and kept me updated I will definitely recommend her and visit again she gets 5stars from me”
“Amazing. Warm, loving, seasoned pet owner/carer. She and her family welcomed in our pup, kept us posted with updates and pics, and was more than flexible when pickup needed adjusting due to cancelled flights and weather. 10/10, no notes.”
“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Callie had such a blast with Chelsea, Lily, and Mars! Chelsea was extremely responsive and attentive to Callie’s needs. 100% recommend booking with her!”
“Maria and her family took wonderful care of my dog for a weekend. She was easy to coordinate with, was very thoughtful about making my (somewhat anxious) dog comfortable in the new environment, and kept me updated throughout. Thank you Maria!”
“Erica always takes such good care of our pup! She always greets us with great energy and provides amazing updates throughout the stay. We always know that our dog is in great hands with her and her family! 100% recommend Erica!”
“Jeffrey took wonderful care of Coda. It was Coda’s first time being cared for by someone outside of our family. Jeffrey sent us updates and pictures. I think Coda was torn between coming back home with us and staying with Jeffrey. She enjoyed her vacation too:) We highly recommend Jeffrey and will be booking with him again.”
About: I grew up with a male Shih Tzu that I took care of for most of my life! I enjoyed playing with him and taking him on walks. I've also helped my sister raise her female Shih Tzu. I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I have a light class load this semester and a good amount of free time. If your pet requires a specific schedule please let me know ahead of time. I love interacting with dogs and spending time with them. I am very active and have a lot of free time, so playing with them will be no problem for me. I live near Clark Park and the Schuylkill River so I can take active dogs on long walks.
About: Growing up with a dog that was frequently described as weird and not friendly, I genuinely love and appreciate pets as they are. I’ve cared for dogs (small to large, young to old) and cats in my own home and in others homes for over 10 years! I love getting to know your pet’s unique needs and idiosyncrasies and find joy in their quirks. I work full-time from home with a light meeting schedule, so looking to fill my days with something fulfilling and fun to me! I have a decent amount of flexibility during the day for drop-ins, and animal care in my own home. I live in a two floor townhouse that has no others pets. We keep it clean and safe for animals. Grassy areas are nearby for walking.
“Angela was fabulous! Quick to respond when we initially reached out, happy to book a meet and greet and sent us lots of great photos of our pup while we were out of town. Very kind and trustworthy- would recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been caring for animals, big and small, my entire life. I currently have two small (nearly identical) dogs, Frannie and Banana. I work from home so it’s easy for me to give them plenty of walks, pets and love. I have a small backyard and live steps from Norris Square park. I’m the go-to auntie to all of my friends pets :) I am a freelancer who works from home. I have two small dogs who I walk 2-3 times a day plus outside time in our backyard. My schedule is flexible and I live steps from Norris Square park. I have a fenced in backyard with a potty area. Two small dogs who are friendly. I typically have them meet new dogs outside of the home before having them come in to avoid any territorial behavior. My dogs eat 3 small meals a day and we keep treats to a minimum due to Frannie’s sensitive stomach. There are plenty of toys and the dogs are never out of sight.
About: I have had dogs all of my 40 plus years on this planet. They are a blessing! I have been relied upon to watch dogs for about 25 years and have walked, bathed, fed them, etc... I currently own a chihuahua named Peanut. She is my world! I work from 9-5pm so I can do nights and weekends. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! They will be safe with me. I will keep your pet safe and sound while you are away. I will send lots of pictures too! I appreciate your business, and I look forward to meeting you.
“I don't need to tell my fellow dog people how important it is to find the right people to take care of your family member while you are away. Truly the best thing I can say about the times they've taken care of Rooney is that there is no worries about her while we're gone. We know she's in great hands!”

Sue has been absolutely phenomenal with my cat. She not only sent me timely updates and pictures but took extra steps to get her toys, keep her engaged and involved in all daily activities like a great cat parent herself. She put my mind to ease and I felt my cat was in the best hands , in the safest loveliest home with a soulful joyous human that she is. I have found a second home for jelly whenever she needs it and would definitely be availing her wonderful help again.i wish more cats to experience the love Sue gives.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Christina! We had unexpectedly rescued our sweet girl, Gigi, just two weeks before a vacation we had already planned. We found ourselves in a stressful situation, scrambling to find someone we could trust to care for our new rescue, and she turned out to be an absolute blessing! From the moment we entrusted Gigi to her care, we felt reassured. Her home was so cozy, warm, and welcoming, with such a beautiful family atmosphere. Her husband, her two children, and she herself were all so involved, loving and wonderful with Gigi. It was clear that she was not just being watched, but truly welcomed into their home and treated like part of the family. One of our favorite things was receiving all the updates and pictures throughout the week. It gave us so much peace of mind to see Gigi happy, comfortable, and being loved while we were away. Knowing that our newly rescued girl was safe, well cared for, and surrounded by such a loving family meant the world to us. We are beyond grateful that she opened her home and her heart to Gigi, especially knowing that we had only had her for two weeks. Finding someone who genuinely cares about your pet and makes you feel completely comfortable leaving them in their care is priceless. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving dog sitter. She went above and beyond. Gigi was happy, we were happy, and our hearts were at ease the entire week. Thank you for treating our girl like one of your own! ❤️🐾
As always, Brineydi did a great job of keeping our little fur babies well taken care of & us at ease while we were away. 5 stars isn’t enough! After letting us know that he was having a hard time keeping his food down, she made Alejandro a special home cooked meal to help with his stomach. He was back to his usual playful self in no time. So grateful we found her on Rover!
Tania was absolutely wonderful and took the best care of our fur baby!! She was very sweet with him, took him out frequently (which he needs since he’s a big boy), and really made him feel at home. Additionally, she was flexible with us as our travel plans changed. We really appreciated her, and would love for her to watch Leo again!
Ritch watched our boxer mix while we were out of the country for a week. Ritch really knows what he's doing while pet sitting. His professionalism and communication allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet. He knew how to make our dog comfortable and safe. We'd definitely bok again!
Marissa and Kevin are seriously the best. We went to Europe for a week and they had everything under control and our pup was extremely well take care of. I feel like I am leaving our baby with family when we drop our pup off. I am overjoyed to have found Marissa and Kevin and look forward to leaving our pup in their capable hands for a long time to come.
This was my first time using a border to watch my dog while I was on vacation. And I was very nervous about it. But as soon as I met Lan and saw how she connected with Luna, I was put at ease. Throughout the entire time we were away Lan provided numerous photos and videos of Luna and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. When she got home, she adjusted very quickly and I could tell that she had enjoyed her time being taken care of by Lan. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She does an amazing job and she truly cares about the pets that she’s taken care of.
This was our second time having our pet stay with Shannon, and once again, we couldn’t be happier! She takes such great care of our pet and gives them lots of love and attention. We really appreciate the regular updates while we’re away—it gives us such peace of mind knowing our pet is in good hands. We highly recommend Shannon and will definitely be using her again!
I cannot say enough nice things about Natalie. She was so communicative throughout Lenny's stay, kept me updated with photos and daily happenings during the day, and I could tell she treated and cared for him as much as she does her own dog, Luna. Thank you so much for caring for Lenny so well and giving me peace of mind when I was out of town. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a sitter and will certainly be asking her to watch Lenny again in the future. Thank you so much!!
Denise kept our Duke for just over a week while we were away on vacation. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but Denise walked me through the whole process. She told me all about the process as she’s a pro and made time to meet Duke before our trip. While we were on our trip we got CONSTANT updates and immediate responses when reaching out to check on Duke. She paid close attention to his needs and made sure she immediately expressed any concerns she had with him which I very much appreciated. I wholeheartedly feel like my dog was cared for exactly how she cares for her own dog and I will say that is truly invaluable! I know she loved our Duke very much and we will absolutely be booking with Denise in the future. Thank you Denise for taking such good care of my baby!
