“Sarah did an amazing job watching our dog for the day! I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the visits. She was flexible with our schedule as well. We came home to a very content happy pup which is always a great sign. Would welcome her back anytime!”


“Mr. Zaihyden has been a tremendous help in caring for my dogs. He consistently checks on them, walks them, and makes sure they are fed and well cared for. He is trustworthy, reliable, and dependable, giving me peace of mind whenever I am away. I truly appreciate his professionalism and dedication, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”

“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!”
“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!”

“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: 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.

“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!”

“Emily was great!! Response time was very quick. She accommodated our schedule for our meet and greet and our dog loved her right away. I was away for vacation so I gave her my husbands number and she texted him everyday with an update everyday. Would absolutely use Emily again!”

“Elizabeth was responsive, flexible, and sent lots of pictures with my pup!! My dog has intense separation anxiety, and Elizabeth took a weight off my shoulders when I had to leave the house for a bit. I will be rebooking with her again:)”

“Maya was amazing with my cat! It was the longest I've been away from her, but Maya made me less nervous with her awesome notes about my floof. She even sent pictures of them cuddling which is an amazing feat considering my cat is skittish. Thank you so much!!”

“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’ve been a dog owner for 13 years (plus grew up with family dogs!) and when I cannot be home in time to take care of my own, I am stressed and worried. When I find someone to help care for my dog, I want them to take as much care as I would. So when I'm taking care of someone else's dog I will care for them the same way! If your dog has any special needs, I am very open to learning about them and want to know how I could best take care of them so both you and your dog are safe and happy.
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!

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! ❤️

Our kids really seemed to love Jill taking care of them for a week, and we loved the updates. She went over and beyond with care for both our kitten and older cat. As we were overly paranoid since our newly adopted kitten is so young, she went above and beyond what was expected to assure us the little one was good and healthy during her care! Will definitely book again next time we have to go away.

Nicholas was the perfect sitter for our old boy. He was incredibly patient with Chives as he adjusted to us being away and let him take his time warming up to someone new. Nicholas also has a very calm presence, which I think was especially helpful for Chives since our home is generally pretty quiet and cozy. I really appreciated the extra care he took while we were gone, including watering some of our outdoor plants and making sure Chives’ litter box and the area around it stayed clean. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Chives and our home were being so thoughtfully looked after.
