“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”
“Jill was so great with our two cats. They can be shy with new people but she got them out of their shells so easily. I think she may be a cat whisperer! She did a great job keeping them fed and occupied by playing with them. We really appreciated her attention to detail and she was very willing to care for them exactly as we wanted. She sent many many updates and pictures and it was super appreciated! Highly recommend her to watch your kitties!”
“Brandon has been watching my golden retriever puppy once a week for the past month, and he’s been great! He is attentive, caring, and communicative, always providing updates and carefully following any instructions I leave. He’s also very accommodating if I ask for any changes. My puppy is always happy and well cared for when I get home. I highly recommend him!”
“Rachel is so sweet. She was prompt and took great care of my old dog while I was out of town. I will definitely request her next time I need help with my dog.”
“Zoe took such great care of my cat Charlie!! He was dealing with some unexpected eye problems right before I left, and Zoe was super great in sending progress photos of his eye and answering some questions for my vet! will definitely be requesting Zoe again next time I go away :)”
“Katrina and Damian are the best. They treat our little girl like their own. Always prompt and over communicative on visits. Lots of wonderful photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“It was a pleasure working with Charlotte. I loved reading her updates every day, and she did a great job making my cat feel comfortable while I was away. I look forward to reaching out to her again the next time I need someone I trust to watch my cat.”
“This is my second time booking Steven to watch my cat Ozzy, and he’s the best!! She loves him and I feel super reassured knowing she’s in great hands while I’m away! I will continue to rebook with Steven any time I need a pet sitter (:”
“Joseph was so great & communicative! So helpful and prompt when taking our old guy out every day. Our dog is very picky with who he likes and he took to Joseph immediately! Will definitely us again.”
“Every time I come home after Rachel has kittysat for Hoover, he always has so much to tell me about the games he played with his friend. He always does really well with her while I'm away.”
“Sieanna was a wonderful catsitter! She sent us thorough updates with pictures every visit, and we came home to happy kitties and a clean house. She really seemed to bond with them, and had lots of play sessions and even some cat TV screenings!”
“Samantha was fantastic and very flexible with my vacation schedule. She sent really funny and cute pictures and messages. Neville was well taken care of :)”
“Tricia was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to take care of Luna. Luna takes a while to warm up to people, so when I got a picture of Luna leaning her head on Tricia’s lap, I knew it meant Luna was in the best hands possible.”
About: I'm currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, and honestly, time outdoors with a dog is my favorite way to recharge and get away from the screen. A good walk or an afternoon of play doesn't feel like a chore to me — it's the part of my day I look forward to. That means your dog gets someone with the energy and genuine enthusiasm to keep up with them, not just clock in and out. I grew up with a golden retriever and was the one taking care of him solo whenever my parents traveled for work, so I've been the trusted "person in charge" since I was a kid. I offer dog walking, doggy day care, and drop-in visits & house sitting, and I'm comfortable with everyone from high-energy pups to laid-back loungers. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some company, or a full day of play, I'll treat them like my own. Can't wait to meet you both! As a grad student with a flexible, largely home-based schedule, I can give your pet real attention and keep to their routine. Through the summer I'm generally free all day, every day, except Sunday mornings. Because I'm home and around for most of the day, I can stick to your pet's normal routine — feedings, walks, meds, and play at the times they're used to — and send you updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. If you have a specific schedule you'd like me to follow, just let me know and I'll build my day around it. Doggy day care: I'm in a comfortable 750 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with easy access to Rittenhouse Square, so your dog gets a cozy home base plus plenty of nearby green space for walks, play, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They'll have my attention, a steady routine, and regular trips outside rather than being left to lounge alone. Dog drop-in visits: I like to be thorough so your dog's day feels exactly like it does when you're home. Before your first visit, I'll ask where to find the spare leash, poop bags, water, and treats, and I'll want to know your usual walking route and routine. The more detail you can share, the better — I'd genuinely rather have too many instructions than too few, so your pup gets the same care and rhythm they're used to. Cat drop-in visits: For cats, I pay close attention to the details that keep them comfortable while you're away. I'll ask where the litter box is, whether it needs refilling, and exactly how you'd like it cleaned, plus where to find food, water, and treats. I also like to know their favorite toy and how they usually like to play or spend their day, so I can match their normal routine rather than disrupt it. Clear instructions are always welcome — I'd rather follow your way of doing things to the letter.
“Rachel is always fantastic with drop-ins to check on our cat. Great communication, always takes time to give the cat pets and playtime, and we always appreciate the great pictures & videos at the end of the drop-in!”

Rittenhouse cat parents share their Rover experiences
Susan was wonderful, and so understanding of both my shy kitty and my kitty who has been territorial after our move. She was so attentive to them, and also was gracious enough to water my plants while I was gone. I would highly recommend her as a sitter! I knew that my boys were in excellent hands with her while I was away!
Brianna has watched my cat Ziggy several times, and every experience has been the best. When she sends me updated photos it’s so apparent to me that he feels comfortable, happy, and loved when he's with her. Knowing he's in such caring and trustworthy hands makes it so much easier to be away. Brianna genuinely treats Ziggy like family, and I always come home to a happy cat. I'm so grateful to have found someone I trust so completely with my little guy. 🐾
