“Christina dropped in on Benno the cat while we were away on a brief trip. I appreciate Christina's service for many things, here are 3. 1. Flexible: we knew we'd be out of town, we did not know when...until we did. 2. Excellent communication and responsiveness. 3. She is winning Benno over...Have already rebooked!”

About: New to Rover! From rescue puppies to senior dogs, I have never lived without a dog in my home. My big move to the city has me missing my furry friend and I'd love to help take care of yours! Taking care of my own and extended family's dogs has provided me the experience to provide whatever attention or assistance your fur-baby needs. I'm new to the app but I am up for going on long walks, playing around, or just hanging out! I have experience providing medication and working with various feeding routines. I hope I'll be able to provide you with caring and reliable help! My current schedule gives me 4-day weekends giving me ample time to give attention to your fur-baby! I'm available for overnights during these days (including Mondays to early Tuesday mornings) or any other needs! I can exist in your space however is best for you and your pet. I provide quick and open communication, allowing relief of any concerns. I love sending pictures throughout my time caring for your fur-baby!
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.
About: After the passing of my own elderly dog, I’m left with lots of love, toys, a yard and a dog spa. Message me today I work in the city so I’m only 10 minutes away from my home. My apartment has a fenced in yard and a dog spa with many parks in the neighborhood. I’ve had pets my entire life so my routine has been built around my own pets. I’m an early bird so I like to get a jump on my days with a walk and would love to bring your doggie along with me I have a fenced in yard at my apartment. I also have an XL crate and dog bed if you don’t have a crate of your own for your pup. If you forget anything I also have bowls and toys to make the transition as smooth as possible for you.

About: There has never been a time where I have not had pets in my household. From dogs to cats to fish to frogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. As a proud cat mom of six, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, affectionate, and trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal like family and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable! 🐾🫶🏼 I’ve personally cared for cats through every stage of life and many different health needs, from raising one of my own as a neonate with around the clock bottle feeding and litter training, to supporting my childhood cat through his end of life care. I’m experienced with administering medications (typically liquid via treats), some post-surgical care, eye infections, epilepsy management, allergy sensitivities, and more. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle and companionship, I’m always happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. 🐈🐈⬛❤️ While cats are definitely my specialty, I’m just as happy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many times over the years and genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks, playtime, and keeping pups happy and loved while their favorite humans are away. 🐶🦴 I’m also a very clean and detail oriented person, so you can trust me to keep litter boxes, food areas, crates, and any pet related messes tidy. I never mind cleaning up after pets, as caring for them and your home comfortably and respectfully is just part of the job for me. 🏡🫧🧹 I currently work from home as a Compute Support Specialist from 7am to 4pm, Sunday through Thursday. This gives me the flexibility to step out after work, and I can’t think of anything better than spending that time caring for pets. I am more than happy to check in on your pets after work or any time on my off days (Friday + Saturday), so long as I’m available. I’m very detail oriented when caring for pets in a client’s home and always follow any instructions or checklists closely, whether that includes feeding routines, wet food, litter box care, playtime, or walks for dogs. If no checklist is provided, no problem! 🫶🏼 I still make sure pets are well fed, comfortable, and cared for, and that their spaces are clean and tidy before I leave. I always send a check in as an update as well, because I know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. 🏡
“Gokhan and Su took wonderful care of our cat Bella. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found them and would happily use them again and refer them to our friends & family. We had a family emergency that required a lot of schedule flexibility, plus this was our first Rover/drop-in experience. She made it easy by always being quick to respond to any question and always happy to find a schedule that worked. We felt perfectly safe and comfortable trusting her with our cat and our house. She and her boyfriend were clearly both great with pets, and made our cat Bella feel very comfortable. If you’re reading this you’re looking for a safe, fun, and reliable pet sitter, as I was. Stop. Save yourself some time and book Gokhan, you and your pet will be so happy with their service you’ll never look for another pet sitter again! Thanks Gokhan & Su!”

“Lisbet was great! She was patient and flexible through the booking process, was easy to communicate with, and very responsive. Both my pets are old men and she didn’t bat an eye at their senior quirks. I’d be very happy to rebook with her in the future!”
“Jill was our favorite rover yet! Consistently provided 8 photos and updates of our kitties everyday and it was a huge treat compared to previous rovers. We felt so comfortable leaving our pets and home in Jill’s hands and we 110% recommend!”


“Daniel stuck it out when my dog Nelly gave him a hard time during her check-in! She’s very skeptical of strangers, but he won her over and provided great commentary throughout the process. Hugely appreciated!”

“Georgette is the best. She’s the only one I trust with my Luna when I travel. And this time Georgette went above and beyond to help me with a last minute travel even with her own busy schedule. Thank you, Georgette!”

“Jiawei took wonderful care of my cats and followed all of my instructions including giving medication. She kept me updated with photos and was reliable, kind and easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats in the home. I got my first dog when he was 8 weeks about 13 years ago. Unfortunately he recently passed away due to cancer. As much as I would like to have another dog, I am just not there yet. So let me love your pet! I work full-time 7:30-3:30. I am available before, after, and on the weekends. My schedule is pretty open and I can be flexible if need be. I have a cat who is two if your fur baby is comfortable in my home. I am looking forward to visits and walks and all the love I can give your pet!
“we're so grateful to have had Amanda come by and check up on our cat while we were away! she did everything as asked, kept in communication with us throughout the process, and took great care of our shy baby :)”

Our normal cat sitter recently moved, so this was our first time using Rover. Lauren helped us for each of the 6 days we were on vacation. She sent us daily pictures and updates, and we returned to a clean house and happy cats. Very happy—highly recommend Lauren!

Thank you so much to Sue and Gokhan for always taking such great care of our cats! We know we can trust them to provide excellent care and enrichment. Our cats always look forward to seeing them and we feel confident trusting them to look after them. Reliable, responsive, and always taking great photos! Thank you so much! :)

Zahra is such a terrific pet sitter! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Our cat immediately bonded with her and she had the best time playing and hanging out with Zahra. Zahra was very communicative, left great notes, and sent a lot of pictures and videos! She was thorough and very thoughtful about all of the tasks/notes we left. We are so appreciative of her and she helped ease our mind on our first trip away from our cat! We will absolutely be reaching out to her again for any of our upcoming trips! Huge thank you!

Rover Review Alyssa was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my cats for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent me beautiful pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, everything was spotless and the cats were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Alyssa and would definitely have her take care of my cats again! ❤️
