“Very accommodating with a last minute request for a one week stay! Took very good care of my diabetic pup. Highly recommend Lauryn and Hunter!”
“People who say that Katie is a five-star sitter aren't kidding. She is the absolute best sitter I have experienced in this whole area. My 15 year old dog is special needs, to say the least, and Katie was the best person imaginable to take care of him while I was away for a week. She introduced new ways for me to care for him, and I am so grateful for her insight and care! I also never imagined that someone could be such a great dog photographer: I've got the Glamour Shots to prove it!”
“Chloe is a phenomenal dogsitter! The whole process was easy, and Chloe herself is a very kind and considerate person. I loved her updates and felt great knowing Gus was in the absolute best of hands during my business trip.”
“Arianna & Andrew were very friendly, and quick to respond. Scheduling pic up and drop off was super easy with their flexibility. Lots of pic updates of a very happy dog. My dog enjoyed the company of theirs, and all the toys. Ill def rebook??”
“Shakira was great, fast responses, always sending updates on Whiskey. She is great and she'll be the first one I contact when Whiskey needs something! Highly recommend her.”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Min! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to care for my fur baby while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog, who can be selective with people, absolutely adored her—and that says everything. When I returned, my pup was happy, healthy, and clearly spoiled with love and attention. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Min is the one. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“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!”
“Tony Is an excellent pet caretaker. I highly recommend him. Tony is very gracious and acommodating. I plan to hire him again to care for my baby, Trixie.”
“Carmen and Caitlin were fantastic! They were very patient with and welcoming to my dog, and I appreciated all the updates too! I would certainly book with them again!”
“Donte was very kind and helped me out with a last minute weekend booking. He took on my dog and accommodated her easily. I had to ask for pictures and videos a few times but overall worked out great!”
“Christopher is awesome! We were headed to our daughter's out-of-town wedding and when our family member was suddenly unable to take care of Gonzo, Christopher stepped in and saved the day. He came to our house and took care of our boy, allowing us to leave him with no worries. He is simply the best!”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
Philadelphia pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely WONDERFUL! Barthalomew was very communicative before, during and after the sitting. My dog was super happy the entire time! And so was I! I got photos of her resting, playing and overall just having a lovely time. She came back super happy and healthy! And he even washed the reusable peepee pad I left with him! So kind! I also live close by so he offered to pick her up and drop her off! Such amazing service. I will only take my little pup to Barthalomew from now on! THANK YOU!!!
Min is amazing , she took care of our 11 year old dog Coco for 2 nights . Communicating with us several times a day , sharing photos and updates of the Coco’s eating and drinking. She took Coco for a walk every day . Very caring and responsible. I would definitely suggest her and will rebook anytime i need a great sitter .
Such a great experience with Christine (& Dan) who watched our pup for a weekend! Incredibly responsive and clear with communication, sent photos throughout the stay, and most importantly our dog came back seeming as happy as ever. Very grateful and would highly recommend!
Anna is probably the best dog sitter we have ever had! Even before meeting her I could just tell she had such a passion for fur babies ! Before our trip she came to our place to meet our pups, and there was no doubt that she was a nurturing and loving person all around. She has a great knowledge of dogs that need specific care. We have a mini dachshund, and she was fully aware of the specific needs to keep them safe and healthy. While we were away, she sent us tons of pictures and updates that we requested, and put our minds at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. It didn’t seem like our pup wanted to leave when we came back! I would recommend her to anybody over and over again because we will definitely be using her again! Thanks again, Anna, you are truly a special person!
Danielle was great with my reactive senior dog while I was out of town. This was my first time leaving him for an extended period of time, but I felt comfortable that he was in good hands. She sent daily updates and paid close attention to his care instructions, which included daily medications. I would definitely rebook with her for future trips.
