“Michael and Durell are lovely. Durell watched our dogs (one elderly dog and one very active puppy) at our home and they were very happy! Thank you!”
About: I've always loved being around animals. For the past 2-3 years give or take, I would help out and take care of my family and friends pets whenever they would be was away. Dogs, Cats, even Guinea pigs. It's something that I love doing, and I love to hang out with them and care for them :) It's what made me realize I wanted to do this more. I feel I can resonate with their energy, and get along with them very well. I also grew up having a dog, and though hes no longer with me I always love being around animals regardless. I aim to be available whenever I can! I am not in school, nor do I have any full time work. I'm open for pretty much all days including weekends. Regardless of the environment, or animal, cat or dog, I will always aim to make sure they are comfortable, fed and given affection. I'd walk and clean up after them if and when needed to. My house is always clean, and should I be at a client's house, I will make sure it looks exactly the same as it did when I arrived (better if possible)
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my family, and have moved out and have adopted a cat on my own. I am familiar with what makes pets happy and how to take care of them. I’ve dog sat for close friends and family before and am confident I will be a great resource to count on. I’m working part time and do drive so I am comfortable commuting. It gives me more time to focus on dog and cat care! Safety and trust are prioritized when it comes to pets. Understanding what triggers pets can have and making sure that they are happy and well taken care of,
“Kara was awesome with Zuri, and she was able to help at the last minute. Lifesaver! Our dog likes very few people, and Kara was one of them. She sent updates and took great care of Zuri. 10/10 would book again.”
“Susi takes great care of our cat, Glinda, and always goes above and beyond to make sure she’s happy and comfortable. We trust her completely and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Five stars all the way!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed pets. I have experience with different breeds and size dogs, even with puppies. And I've gotten use to cleans messes and teaching from time to time. I'm not an expert but what I learned has help my friends and family with the dogs and puppies. Also if bathing the dog is a problem I have no issues handling it if the need arrives. I'm free anytime from Monday thru Friday but not Thursday evenings and I can do weekends if necessary but not Sunday mornings unfortunately do to religious reasons unless I'm pet sitting. I do have different size crates if needed one small, medium, and xtra large and I do have a gated section in my home for the dogs.

“Malgorzata was prompt on replies and got along really well with my dog who is normally cautious around new people. While on vacation she sent many photos and updates to keep me posted on the status of Jaeger. Great communication and when I returned he was happy and healthy!”
“Robert took great care of Jeffrey! He is a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We booked him from out of town for a wedding and he kept in touch to confirm, showed up on time and became immediate friends with Jeffrey. He was great with communication - sending us many pictures and videos. His passion for dogs is evident, I could tell that my dog not only received necessary care but also enjoyed the company and companionship Robert provided.”
“Olivia was wonderful with the pups. She took such good care of them happy healthy, and well cared for, she was absolutely terrific. She stayed over with them and they fell in love with her.. She took great care with my little pups, ear infection, so it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend Olivia and plan on using her again in the future.”

About: I started overnight pet sitting last month, and most of my experience is with cats. Before last month, my experience entailed drop-ins for cats to feed and play with them, and change their litter. I have cared for senior cats and senior dogs, and am comfortable with administering medication. Starting on June 22nd, 2026, I'll work onsite Monday-Friday from 3-7pm, but I am otherwise flexible with my schedule! I am open to sits ranging from one night to several weeks long. I look forward to helping you! I'll treat your fur babies with love and care, and your home as I would my own. I enjoy helping others and making their lives easier in some way. I aim to give people peace of mind by caring for their pets and home, so they can fully enjoy their travels or focus on what they need to do while away. I follow pet parents' guidelines to the letter to ensure that their little ones are treated the way they deserve to be, and are used to! I can also be counted on to leave your home as I found it. For cat sits, I can care for up to three cats per stay, and for dog sits, I can care for up to one per stay. I can also do sits with one dog and one cat together. And, I'm a plant lover and am happy to look after any plants :)

Port Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michael and Durell are swell hosts! The sent lots of photos and I can tell my Charlie was very content and well treated in their care. They were also extremely scrupulous in making absolutely sure that when they had more than one dog staying, there would be no question of compatibility. I would not hesitate to book with them again!
Olivia is a great pet sitter. She is prompt, courteous, and understanding of all questions and concerns while we were traveling, and she is great with animals as well. Her photo updates were also always timely and a pleasure to receive. I felt at ease knowing that our cat was in good hands!
Kathleen watched my dog for over a week and was a great dog sitter. She regularly sent photos and updates about their day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was on vacation. She was also very quick and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog/cat sitter!
Vivian stayed with Opie for a few nights while we went on a trip. She was very punctual and sent frequent updates and photos. She was also very responsive if I asked for an update. She left our place in great condition and even brought in some mail and packages. Vivian was great, I would recommend her and book with her again!
Michelle was kind and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She followed all of our instructions and left our home exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. There were a couple of timing and communication issues at the beginning, but once we connected, she was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. I appreciated her willingness to adjust and make things right. Overall, our experience ended on a positive note, and I would feel comfortable booking with her again.
This is second vacation Leslie has house set for us. She is amazing! We have two rescue dogs that we wanted to leave in their home while we were away. She fed them, played and walked them and gave them their meds. Peace of mind knowing your fur babies are well cared for makes being away more relaxing. We had daily texts with photos which helped with our missing them too.
Alekhandra has watched our puppy twice now and she absolutely loves her!! She gets so excited when she comes to watch her. She follows all instructions and keeps us updated throughout the night with photos and videos. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend!
