“Simply put, Gina is the best!!! She is super sweet and compassionate and treats her pet guests like her own. Gina kept me updated while I was away and sent many photos and notes, which I greatly appreciated. Sunny was comfortable in Gina’s home and absolutely loved her stay (vacation). I would absolutely recommend Gina to anyone!”
“Katie was awesome! Super responsive, helped me out when I was in a pinch and needed a sitter, and was so good with Wrigley! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Jacob did an amazing job taking care of Daisy while we were away. He took care of her like his own and even gave us some great tips on how to help her adjust to the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be going back to Jacob again!”
“Rachel was awesome with Kira! Super responsive and sent lots of photos. Kira is difficult to warm up to at times but she and Rachel were quickly able to get off on the right foot.”
“Christina was wonderful and took such great care of my dog, Radar! He’s an anxious little guy and takes some time to warm up. She was so patient and caring with him. I needed a sitter with very short notice and she was able to do it with only 2 days notice. I already am planning on using her again for an upcoming trip. She was so flexible and always responded immediately. She sent lots of updates, so I knew Radar was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina!”
“Purvina & Rohil were great with my dog Miko. They sent lots of photos and were very communicative. Miko seemed right at home and happy. I highly recommend them and I will definitely book with them again.”
“Dulce is a fantastic sitter - very communicative, follows all instructions, and sends great updates with adorable photos. My dog, Moose, loves her and her little dog! We ran into them on a walk after his most recent stay and he planted his feet to wait for them and tried to follow them home. I would be so happy to have Dulce watch my dog again!”
“Deena was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Betsy with her. She was well taken care of and Deena sent me updates throughout her stay. She even sent me home with a little Halloween goody bag! I will definitely be using her again.”
“Will was great with my high energy dog, made sure he had plenty of time outside and kept him comfortable throughout the stay. I appreciated the updates and pictures, highly recommend.”

“Min is amazing! My dog absolutely loves Min & James + their two dogs. She provided updates all throughout the day with pictures and videos. My dog has some health issues & I felt at ease with him in her care. I felt as if she cared for Gatsby as if it was her own dog. Absolutely will use regularly!!”
“Great communication + clearly experienced. Handled my medium sized dog very well, and followed the requested instructions. Was very open and clear about key questions he had about my dog prior to boarding to ensure a good experience. I had a late flight delay, and Noah was accommodating to picking my dog up at a slightly different time than expected without any issue.”
“Yelian it's a great setter! She cares for your pet the way you would. She showed affection and my puppy got along with her puppies! She took him for walks and sent updates. For me she was in a great location. I definitely recommend her!”
“Annyah was wonderful!! This was out first time leaving our dog with her and from the moment we meet her we knew our pups were in good hands. We could tell the dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. She even sent us pictures as updates. We will absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“Shakira did so much more for our dogs than I ever expected. She took amazing care of them and showered them with love. Every day, she updated me with several photos and shared their daily activities. Even our dogs didn’t want to leave her when it was time to go. If I ever need someone to watch over my dogs again, I would absolutely choose Shakira. She is truly one of the most amazing sitters I’ve ever met.”
“Ariana & Andrew are great. I got lots of happy photos of my dog, and he loved spending time getting to know their pup also so he wasn’t lonely. A great experience!”
“Georgilin was AMAZING! She was so communicative and very patient with my 4 month old puppy. I felt confident leaving my pup in her care and will certainly use her services again!”
“Alice is awesome! She helped take care of my dog Emily while I was traveling for three days. Alice is very trustworthy and responsible. She is detail-oriented and made sure everything related to Emily—her leash, eating habits, and walking routine—was in order from the very first day. She also gave Emily lots of pets to help her adjust well. Alice sent me pictures every day and responded to my texts promptly! When I picked Emily up, she kept looking back in the direction of Alice’s apartment—I could tell Emily really liked her and missed her! I highly recommend Alice if you need boarding services. She’s truly great!”

Philadelphia pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erick is great to work with. Good communication, and I can tell my pup Mochi has a great time by pictures and his description of how she acts. He is accommodating to Mochi’s special needs with medication administration, feeding, and frequent potty sessions. He makes both me and Mochi feel comfortable, and makes her time with him fun and engaging. I definitely recommend Erick for pup’s needs.
Riemke & Nathan were awesome! They were super attentive and anticipated all of Norman’s needs! They were consistent with updates and were SO great being flexible with my crazy schedule. Norman had an amazing time and came back so happy and content!! I would highly recommend them and we will absolutely be back :)
Jina was great!!! Cyclops is a bit of a character and she was very accommodating towards him. I received multiple updates every day, which I loved. My dog doesn't always do well with the transition to care during a vacation, but he really took to her. She was very responsive and I would definitely rebook.
Our two had another great stay with Nicole & Sam! They have become our go-to sitters any time we are out of town. Every time we show up at their house they can barely get the door open before Gizmo & Buffy run straight inside to find their friends! Buffy loves playing with Edgar so much. She comes home TIRED lol.
We had a sitter cancel last minute, and Mei was available to watch our dog Billie. Wow am I glad! Mei updated us constantly with pictures, and was very responsive to anything we needed. I could tell our dog was very comfortable with her, and all her needs were taken care of throughout the whole stay. We will definitely be reaching out to Mei again to watch our Billie!
Klaire was excellent with Birdie! She was very professional, taking notes on all of Birdie’s care instructions. regularly sent us pictures, which helped our separation anxiety! Klaire’s apartment is also very spacious, so we knew Birdie would be comfortable. She obviously went above and beyond taking care of Birdie’s needs.
German was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Hazel, during her first stay with him. It's always a relief to know your pet is in caring and capable hands. German was incredibly patient and gentle, and it was clear from the photos he sent that Hazel felt completely at ease and happy. He truly treated her like part of his own family. I highly recommend German and will definitely be using his services again!
Madeline is awesome! Our first stay with her was seamless! It was my first time leaving my dog for so long with an unfamiliar person but Madeline made us both feel so comfortable and at ease! She sent plenty of pics each day and lots of updates. Will book again!
