“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”

“She is absolutely amazing! She keeps me very informed during her time with Duchess. She plays a lot with her and it shows from how tired she is when we get back! She is so kind and a good sitter! Definitely use her!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Christina. I have an elderly dog that has several needs and requires some special attention. Christina has been exceptional taking care of him and communicates often to help ease my concerns when I have to leave him. She's the best dog sitter you'll find!”

“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”


About: I started my first dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 10! I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and can’t wait to meet your baby :) I currently work fully remote and have a very flexible schedule both day and night. I am an aspiring law student and love to travel. Rover is a win win because I LOVE dogs and I love money for law books :) I take safety of animals very seriously and will rely on your instruction and my sound judgement to take the best care of your pup as possible
“Sarah is a dream! Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. Sarah was super communicative, friendly, and kind, and instantly bonded with Honey—it was comforting knowing I was leaving her in great and capable hands. Sarah sent regular updates and pictures and left my home in more than perfect condition. I not only knew that Honey was being well taken care of but also loved the whole time! Sarah felt like an instant part of the family, she’s the absolute best!”

“Darina took excellent care of our Pitbull Zelda and our home. She was mindful of all instructions and kept me up to date through our four days away. Definitely recommend and would hire her again.”

“Did an amazing job with my dog and cat during the 2-week long overnight stay at my place. They gave lots of updates and photos which helped me feel more at ease leaving my pets. They also cleaned up after themselves when they were done, which was really appreciated after getting back from a long trip! Absolutely would recommend them!”

“Brittany was awesome with Libby, super information and forthcoming when Lib grabbed something she shouldn’t have had. I am so grateful for her attentiveness and honesty!”

“vanessa was great! she was so communicative and our kitties loved her. i can be a pretty anxious cat mom and i felt so comfortable leaving my babies with vanessa. highly recommend and would definitely rebook!”

“Princess took great care of my little monster! He had been recovering from some health issues and she went above and beyond, making sure he was eating and well cared for. Will definitely book her again!”


“Vanessa was a great sitter! Went above and beyond for my picky eater kitty and keeping both my cats comfortable. She sent lots of updates on the cats and kept the house perfectly clean after her stay.”

“Luke was able to take care of my senior dog on super short notice, and they immediately connected. It was great to know my pup had good company. Luke's got jokes too. 10/10 no notes”

“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”

“We absolutely loved Stephen. My entire household was happy and comfortable with him within hours. He took my dog on great adventures, left my home clean, and gave every animal individual attention.”

“Olivia did an amazing job watching our dog and two cats. She communicated with us frequently, sent tons of adorable pictures, and genuinely cared for our pets. We will absolutely be booking her again!!! Thank you so much Olivia.”

Rosalie did a great job with our two dogs! They can take some time to warm up to new people, but she did everything right to quickly earn their trust. She took great care of them while we were away and sent us updates so we could fully relax during our trip. We’re excited to have a reliable sitter right in the neighborhood. I know our dogs will be super happy to hang with her again!

Alex was great with our pups! We were sent updates and photos everyday. Our dogs are older and need extra care with meds and their routine. Alex followed all instructions perfectly to take care of them. We are very happy with the care she provided and will definitely be booking again!

Alexandria is always so responsive and flexible - she takes great care of our fur babies but also is so easy to work with, it makes the process of going away for a trip so much less stressful! She always updates us with any info about our pets, but definitely has the experience to know what is a big deal and what isn't. Having someone at home that we trust makes a world of difference!

Sarah was great with all three of our cats while we traveled for a few weeks! She even got our cat who never comes out for strangers to come out and say hi. Knowing that the cats were being well cared for was a top priority, and Sarah did a wonderful job.

Brittany was absolutely terrific with my senior Labrador Retriever, Bleu! She went above and beyond during her 4-day stay. On day one, Brittany arrived early to carefully review Bleu’s medication schedule. She kept me updated constantly, texting me every time Bleu got her medicine, went for walks, and even when she stepped out for lunch. She also sent beautiful daily photos. When Bleu experienced some constipation, Brittany immediately drove to the grocery store to buy pumpkin and bone broth to help ease her symptoms. She monitored her closely and updated me the moment Bleu was fully recovered. Brittany is incredibly reliable, and I always knew Bleu was in the safest hands. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her!

Hanna is amazing. She's super responsible, gave my pup loads of love and took great care of my house, including when the roof started leaking in the rain. She communicates as often as you want, sends adorable pictures and videos and asks questions if she's not sure of anything. My dog has already requested her again. I'll certainly hope she's available next time I need a dog sitter.
