“Kelly has been the absolute best petsitter for my dog, Roo! She's caring, attentive, and sends the best updates/photos. Roo and Scoots have become great friends! Kelly is so flexible and has been available for early mornings and late nights with my hectic work schedule. Roo has separation anxiety and Kelly is very understanding of her needs. We're unfortunately leaving Philly and wish we could take Kelly and Scoots with us, we highly recommend!”
“Sarah and Harry were awesome with my fur baby. She sent me updates (pics and texts) on how she was doing. Sarah was highly recommended by a coworker and she did not disappoint.”
“Madeline was great. Took good care of my pup, he didn't wanna go when i picked him up! She was great at responding to any questions and even sent me some pics of Fenn enjoying himself at her house.”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Amanda! We came to Philly for a long weekend and couldn't find a care facility last minute. We took a chance on Rover and had some worries about trusting a complete stranger with our two anxious pups. Once we saw Amanda's profile, we felt relieved to see someone with such great experience and return clients. Although we doubt we will be able to be repeat clients (since we live a whole state away) we will absolutely search for Amanda if we find ourselves in her area again. Our oldest pup trusted her immediately and stayed by her side for the entirety of his stay. Our youngest was very anxious but came around to her care and felt safe enough to rest with her. We also felt very grateful that her services were focused on one client at a time. I think our boys would have had a harder time coping with other pets around. Amanda has been thoughtful, communicative, and very trustworthy through our whole interaction. You won't regret booking her services! :)”

“I can’t say enough about how amazing Teresa was with our Ollie! She is so sweet and so patient with our very anxious little guy. She snuggled him, made him feel safe, and sent so many adorable photos! We will 💯 use her in the future when we come into the city to an event!!”

“Angela was great with Ruby. She sent us a lot of pictures and Ruby came back happy and content. Angela was very communicative and receptive to our concerns about Ruby‘s demeanor. We appreciate that and had a lot of ease using her.”
“Stephanie was excellent and everything I want in a dog watcher. She communicated from request, through drop off and stay, and pick up. We did a meet and greet, then a ~8 hour drop off. She was flexible with my time, and kept me in the loop with photos and updates. You can tell she is caring, responsible, and focused on your pet when she is watching them. Stephanie will be my first choice anytime I need someone to watch Nala in the Philly/SJ area going forward.”

Riverfront dog parents share their Rover experiences
Samba is such a picky eater and hadn’t touched his food the night before or that morning. When I asked Paula if she had some carrots, she not only gave him some but even added chicken broth to encourage him. She was so thoughtful and caring—it really made Samba feel loved and comfortable.
Claudia was amazing taking care of Miko during the day. She asked all the right questions to get to know him better and know what to expect and how to treat and approach him. Great communication at all times proactively sending multiple pictures and keeping us updated. Looks like Miko had a great day chilling with Claudia and getting spoiled. :) Thanks for everything! Will definitely leave our boy with you next time we are in the Philly area.
Stephanie is Amazing !! Her loft is definitely doggy approved with comfy dog beds, dog toys and a patio where the dogs can play. She provided me with details on how my dogs did during their staying including potty breaks, water breaks Pictures etc. Stephanie was very flexible with her schedule and availability. I would definitely recommend !
Our pup had an amazing time with Serena! We are newer pet parents and I was very nervous about leaving him, but she made me feel so at ease. She’s a true expert with years and years of experience & she connected with our dog super well. We got lots of updates, pics, and videos - and she gave us a great sense of how he was doing throughout the day. He came back tired from playing but relaxed/not stressed out. Serena is a true dog lover. I’ll feel great leaving Bodie with her again!
Georgette and Mark did a wonderful job! My puppy Mabel stayed with them for day care for a few days while my spouse was out of town. It meant a lot to know that while I was at work I didn’t have to worry about Mabel because I knew she was in good hands and having a lot of fun! A few times when I went to pick her up she didn’t even seem to want to leave which was a great sign to me! Georgette was communicative, flexible, and thorough in her care for Mabel. Would definitely recommend!
