“Makaylah was great for Marcus. I really appreciated that she stuck to his puppy routine while I was gone so that he right away felt comfortable and safe with her. Even the staff in the front office of my building remarked how happy Marcus looked whenever they saw her coming in and out of the building with him on walks. She also went the extra mile and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. I will definitely request her for Marcus again!”

“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!”

“Christina went above and beyond! She did great with our fearful dog, including when she struggled with the new years fireworks. She made sure she got her medicine, went out & ate enough, and got plenty of love. And she did an equally excellent job with our cats. Would highly, highly recommend for house sitting, dog walking, checking in on cats. Thank you so much!”

“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!”

“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.
“Darina kept me at ease with pics and updates on my little kitties! And I could see the the little ones definitely liked her a lot. Will definitely be reaching out to her again very soon!”

“Gabe took great care of our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires meds and a routine, and Gabe was super patient and supportive during our absence. He sent pictures everyday and the house was spotless upon our arrival! Thanks again, Gabe!”


“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.”

“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!”


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

“Amanda went above and beyond in caring for North. She sent me photos several times a day, including during walks, and North seemed very happy to spend time with her. She left my home in perfect condition, and I feel confident that North was very well taken care of. I highly recommend Amanda to other pet owners, and I will absolutely hire her again! Thank you, Amanda!”

“This was our second time with Quanece & Malik dog sitting at our house. Our two fur babies were so excited to see them when they arrived, we received constant updates and photos, and house was taken care of very well. We could not be happier and will continue to book through them!!”

“Luke was wonderful with our dog, ozzy and two cats! He made us feel as though everyone was in good hands and we didn’t have to worry a bit on our 5 day vacation! Luke was very communicative. We will re book Luke in the future!”

“Princess profile and response time is what sold me, then she arrived on time and Jetta loved her immediately!! She’s soooo sweet! She gave her the best cuddles and belly rubs ! She sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated, I would rebook with her anytime she’s available!! 10/10 definitely recommend 🫶🏽”

“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.”

“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.”

“Gregory was wonderful with our two dogs! He was communicative and very loving with our babies (one is a 4mo old puppy!) he was very respectful in our home and we will definitely hire him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
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.
