About: I have been working around/living with dogs for my entire life. I will always be sure to give your pups extra love and attention while they are missing you while following all of your requests. Walks and playtime or whatever you want can be done at whatever intervals your request. I can also take dogs to the wonderful, award winning, local dog parks. Since they will be missing you, I will be sure to provide extra love and care to make them comfortable while they are staying with me. I live right by an animal hospital in case of emergencies as well. I also am very familiar with any dog allergies/things they cannot eat. I am careful to keep anything dangerous out of reach and off of counters.
“Thorough, responsive, asked great questions, met all my expectations. Stephen was also very patient when my big dog was nervous about seeing him on his first time entering alone. Would recommend and rebook!”
“Ari was exceptional! She was amazing with our two year old ‘puppy’. Her communication was excellent. She kept us updated on everything and observed lots of little details that gave us great confidence she was on top of everything. I would highly recommend her.”
“Katrina is the absolute best!! She was so patient and kind with my nervous dog and went above and beyond. Felt so relieved to have her watching him. Definitely recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Cacie - I’m a West Philly-based artist, plant-mom, and four-time Broad St Run runner. I love dogs, and while I don’t have dogs of my own, I am a proud dog auntie. My services include house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I am very detail-oriented and pay close attention to pet-parent instructions, including meal time and amount, food, pet preferences, and exercise schedule. I’m also happy to provide cute pet photos with each visit, of course! Ready to schedule a Meet & Greet? Send me a message! Can’t wait to meet you! I work remotely with a flexible schedule Monday-Friday. Generally, weekdays between 10am-4pm are best for me, though I can often make walks outside of this window work with enough notice! I am not available on weekends. I am very detail-oriented and pay close attention to pet-parent instructions, including meal time and amount, food, pet preferences, and exercise schedule. I strive to create a calm, comforting environment during every visit!
“Helen is the best! She is knowledgeable, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. She provides great updates on walks, and is always responsive and easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable knowing Hoagie is in her care. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Sarah was amazing ! She sent pictures and videos daily to ease my mind. Always responded to communication promptly. I will definitely use her again in the future. Definitely a 5 star sitter !”
“Matthew is such a great person to walk and take care of your dog! Our dog Clifford loves him and he takes him on a different route everyday. He’s great at communicating when he’s available and how Clifford did on the walk.”
About: I'm an active, reliable dog lover who genuinely enjoys getting outside and spending time with pets. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply getting extra attention while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for I work a full time job so I like to usually walk before or after my work hours! I like to have a schedule throughout my week! When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I'll also follow any specific instructions you leave.
About: A longtime animal lover, I have 6 years of experience as a dog rescue volunteer and self-contracted pet-sitter. I have fostered and found homes for 7 rescue dogs, have walked dogs, and sat a variety of dogs and cats over my time here in center city Philly. My experiences in fostering rescue pups impressed upon me that every animal is a three dimensional individual with their own particular needs, preferences, and traits. As they are each special in their own way, I never take a one-size-fits-all approach to animal care; I am always mindful to learn from each owner and each pet to best meet their needs and provide comfort. I have vast experience with reactive and anxious dogs, as well as with puppies, potty training, and medical care. Patience and compassion are essential in animal care and I will always invest the time needed to care for your fur baby thoroughly and completely. Your pet will have all of my attention while in my care, as it is important to me that they feel valued and seen. I will never cut corners and am happy to provide as many photos and updates as you’d like. My own dog, a Belgian Malinois mix named Seven (a foster fail!), is great with other dogs so can join for walks or stay at home; whatever you’d prefer. Am available to check in on or walk your pet on weekend afternoons and evenings! I currently work full time during the week so I am limiting my availability to when I know my focus can be entirely on your pet. Conscientious and detail oriented, your comfort and your pet’s comfort are my priority. I am careful to abide by all instructions and will always care for your home and pet as I would my own. I care deeply for your pet’s wellbeing and fulfillment and will ensure that all of their needs are met when in my care.
About: I have had pet cats throughout my entire life. I have also been around family dogs all of my life: dogs of all sizes and many personalities. I am very attentive, kind, and patient. Your pet will always have a companion while you are away. I will be very diligent in following all rules you provide and I will not hesitate to ask questions to ensure your pet is in the best of care. I do not fear having to deal with injured or older pets, that goes for young pets too. Any animal no matter the age or size will be treated with the same amount of kindness and care as the next! I am a nutrition focused personal trainer who enjoys helping and hanging with critters in my free time! I don’t offer animal boarding, although one day I’d like to! I care for all animals with upmost safety. I live in the woods with three cats, who have always lead a safe life and I will ensure that for all pets I look after. While I watched my family’s dogs it was crucial for me to read and follow the directions from family to make sure their dogs were as happy as they could be while missing their owners!
“Hazel is delightfully consistent and communicative. It’s been just about a year of service and I am fairly certain Odin couldn’t be happier! Scheduling is a breeze, changes in schedule are met with flexibility, understanding, and typically at least a week or two of heads up. Hazel’s commitment to professionalism is showcased in Odin’s wagging tail and my peace of mind!”
“Justin was wonderful! He was very patient and sweet with our little doggie, Gobi, and he asked great questions before their walk to make sure he took the best care of her. Gobi approved too! She was comfortable with him right off the bat. He also sent a thorough report after the walk. I definitely recommend him.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rittenhouse
Megan is my hero! She stepped up last minute to help me out with Maisey and Marcel. I came home after 12 hour long days in the office to two fed, walked and happy pups! Working long hours away from the dogs is super stressful but Megan was a great communicator and helped me feel at ease knowing the pups were well looked after.
