“Jonathan was more than amazing 🤩 he kept me updated with our 2 month old puppy and throughout the day and captured some awesome pics of Stormy ! TY Jonathan we will definitely be back did I forget to mention his dog Ivy was some sweet and warming!”
2. Amanda V.
“We have nothing but great things to say about Amanda! We came to Philly for a long weekend and couldn't find a care facility last minute. We took a chance on Rover and had some worries about trusting a complete stranger with our two anxious pups. Once we saw Amanda's profile, we felt relieved to see someone with such great experience and return clients. Although we doubt we will be able to be repeat clients (since we live a whole state away) we will absolutely search for Amanda if we find ourselves in her area again. Our oldest pup trusted her immediately and stayed by her side for the entirety of his stay. Our youngest was very anxious but came around to her care and felt safe enough to rest with her. We also felt very grateful that her services were focused on one client at a time. I think our boys would have had a harder time coping with other pets around. Amanda has been thoughtful, communicative, and very trustworthy through our whole interaction. You won't regret booking her services! :)”

“Kelly is the BEST. She sent pictures of our pup in a Valentines photo shoot. Made my whole week. I feel so safe leaving our baby in her care.”
4. Jacob F.
“Jacob was a great sitter… our dog got a long walk, relaxed with his dog. Jacob sent photos and he was so easy to work with. We will definitely use him again soon!”
5. Kiara B.
“I have one of those dogs that can open doors, turn on the radio and open her crate. She’s just so independent and intelligent that most sitters are not up for that kind of challenge. Kiara is not one who is easily overwhelmed by all that. She was amazing with both of my dogs while with the loss of a family member. Desi (GSD, cattle dog and pittie) and Biggie smalls (old English bulldog) are in love with her. She is responsible, prompt, compassionate, observant and most importantly loves dogs. I feel blessed to have her watch my kids. Every time I started to wonder how they were doing I got a video or a picture or just a message saying what they were up to.”
6. Sonshine P.
“My husband and I travelled from Connecticut to Philadelphia this past weekend to attend a graduation ceremony. We had no one to care for our dog back home, so we had to bring the dog with us. Obviously, our 120 lb. Ridgeback, Luca, could not attend the ceremony and lunch with us. And, leaving him in a car in downtown Philly for several hours was not an option. However, the stars aligned for us on Rover where we found Sonshine. He saved the day. He met us precisely at the arranged time and place, took affectionate but firm control of Luca right from the start. He has a way with dogs. You can feel it immediately. He sent photos and updates throughout the duration of his 6-hour sitting session with Luca. He was flexible and able to move the time of drop-off to accommodate our change of plans. Luca was returned to us happy, exercised and good tired. He slept the whole drive back to Connecticut. We recommend Sonshine wholeheartedly. You can trust him with your beloved pup.”
7. Maivy N.
“Maivy waa fantastic and my dog loved playing with her dog all day! I'm so glad she took good care of my pup”
8. Mel D.
“Our Bruno was in great hands with Mel. She was very communicative and responsive throughout his stay and she provided many photo updates. Bruno was happy and exhausted after his stay and it was clear that he was in great hands. Would highly recommend her !!”
9. Victoria O.
“She was great with Jonesy”
10. Susan K.
“Susan took great care of my puppy. She was friendly and responded promptly to communications. She followed all of my instructions, sent great photos, and gave us a full run-down of how things went. My dog seemed like he liked her, and I would be happy to have her take care of him again!”
11. Teresa H.
“Loki (my dog) and I met Teresa in a moment that we really needed someone like her. She is kind, loving, and thoughtful. I could see that Loki was being very well cared for and filled with love and affection. His energetic jumps and cries when he saw her during drop off and when he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up are some of the indicators. Teresa took care of Loki like he was her dog and part of her family. She'd take him out wherever she'd go and would send the most heart warming photos of them together. I will always be immensely grateful to the care and love shown to Loki and I know that he will too. Thank you!”
12. Gabriela D.
“Gabriela is super reliable and my dog is always so happy after spending the day with her!”
13. Shannon W.
“Shannon is great! She watches my dog Charlie often, and he always seems happy with her and her dog Sherman. She also provides plenty of great photos throughout the stays and is flexible with my fluid schedule. Highly recommend!”
14. Kevin W.
“Kevin is great with all animals! I asked him to walk my dog—as soon as he walked through the door, my dog RAN to him and could not stop wagging her tail. Kevin was great with her and even wiped her paws. 5/5 stars!”
15. Brian R.
“Bryan was very kind and patient with both us and our dog. He went out of his way to try and make the experience as good as possible and we really appreciate that.”
16. Kaitlin M.
“Wow, Kaitlin is an amazing dog owner and kind soul! She has a dog of her own which she has trained amazingly well and is quite devoted to! She has always got along well with all animals and often cares for other animals, always doing an excellent job.”
17. Justin Y.
“Justin kept clear communication and sent pictures while he was watching my dog. My dog came back just as happy as hen I left her with him. I defintely recommend Justin!”
18. Sara G.
“Sara was amazing! She was very flexible with a last minute booking and even allowed me to extend the stay when my work ran way over! Really appreciated how fast she was with responding to texts and communication in general was stellar. Also loved the detailed updates about walks and daily activities that Sara took the time to provide! Would definitely book her again!”
19. Chloe J.
“Chloe did great with my dog with reactivity, separation anxiety, and higher boundaries. She followed care instructions perfectly!”
20. Hannah E.
