“Our Maya had the greatest experience! She tends to be scared of new people, and this was the first time we have done a home visit with rover and Kalie was AMAZING. She gave Maya so much love and attention. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Christina was very helpful in watching my cat while I was away! He can be skiddish but she was very patient. She also sent lots of photos and updates.”
“Emily took such great care of my cat. He had a potential health scare while I was away and was showing a lot of anxiety. Emily handled the unexpected issues so well and communicated everything with a lot of detail to help me understand the situation, including doing a video call. I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pet!”
“Caroline is the best! She was super sweet and took perfect care of our Camille. She answers messages quickly and you can just tell she treats your pet exactly like it was her own. Will definitely be contacting her in the future for our pet sitting needs! ❤️”
“Kathryn is a fabulous sitter! She communicated very well, she was on time for her drop ins, she took great pictures and most importantly, she kept our pup Morty very happy. Rest assured, your animal is in great hands with Kathryn!”
“Abbie is the best! She took such great care of my two cats. She is so kind and respectful. Great communicator and sent lots of updates/pictures. I came home to happy cats and a tidy apartment :)”
“No words can express my gratitude! I had a sitter cancel without explanation less than a week before a long international trip! I scrambled to find someone to care for my big baby. Lots of sitters were nice but Yuhan was the only person that got eye-to-eye with Abrita and truly engaged with her. She communicated well, made me feel comfortable and went above and beyond. She’s amazing!”
“Zack was such a great sitter for my cat Rocky! He sent me lots of pictures and Rocky was very happy and well taken care of when I got home. I can’t recommend Zack enough!”
“Lindsey was simply amazing. I was nervous leaving my 1 1/2 year old cat with my older cats alone while we were away, and Lindsey was the best at easing my anxiety! She takes superb pictures, genuinely cares about your kitties and even picks up the place so you don't come home to a messy place. I will be a returning customer and I cannot wait to use her again!!! Thanks Lindsey :) <3”
“Second time booking with Emily and she was fantastic again! Flexible and responsive. Follows my detailed directions. Picture updates for all visits. Will book again!”
About: While I grew up with and love dogs, my wife’s allergies prevent us from getting one of our own - I joined rover to hang with some cool pups and to help make sure I get my daily steps in! I work as an independent consultant and work from home, so I have flexibility during the day to help with short/long walks, trips to Wissahickon Park, or to head to one of the local dog parks, etc.. I live in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia over by Walnut Lane Golf Course. Prefer to stay in the local area (short drive is OK). In the past I've had a variety of big and small dogs ranging for dachshunds, to chihuahuas, to golden doodles, to labradors. So big or small, I'm happy to help care for your pup! I currently work as an independent consultant, so I have flexibility to schedule around my fur friends needs. I do occasionally travel for backpacking trips or to see friends, however you’ll have plenty of advance notice. Each pet and their needs are unique, whether it’s a nice long walk or a good long scratch, I’ll be sure to follow your regimen to ensure your pet’s needs are met.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s lucky enough to turn that passion into what I do every day. I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for nearly 4 years, and I also have a dog of my own; so I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention our furry friends need!! What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away, which is why I go the extra mile to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to what your pet needs most!! When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a pet sitter; you’re trusting someone who genuinely cares, has real hands-on experience, and sees every dog as the special companion they are!! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to schedule around your pet’s needs and give them consistent attention and care!! When your pet stays in my home, they become part of the family. I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I also have a very friendly 3 year old Labradoodle who loves having company; he’s great with other dogs and helps your pup feel right at home!!
About: I am an animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels My priority is that your pet feels safe, loved and well cared for while with me. I've cared for friends' and family's pets, helping with walks, feeding, and companionship. I'm very responsible, affectionate, and committed to learning and giving my best on every walk or visit. I strive to understand each dog's needs, whether they need a lot of energy or just peace and quiet. I'm willing to follow any instructions the owner gives me, and I always treat them as if they were my own pet. I'm excited to gain more experience and provide a reliable, safe, and loving service.
“Mareyna was great with my two vizslas while I was away. She was very punctual with her daily visits and always sent updated photos daily. Great communication. I would definitely recommend and most likely use her services again in the future.”
“This was my 5th time booking Jen and I will continue to do so! She is absolutely great with my cat and her communication is excellent, she always gives me a nice update on how my cat is doing and lets me know of any concerns.”
About: I currently have 2 golden retrievers and a cat. I trained both of my dogs mostly on my own since they were puppies. I have had animals since I was growing up and have watched pets for family and friends. I have experience in medication handling and administration for pets. I am flexible with rates just shoot me a message! 🙂 I currently work full time 3 days a week as a registered nurse but looking for something to do in my spare time to keep me busy. I want another dog but if I can take care of yours I won’t have to! Lol I have two very friendly golden retrievers that love friends and will keep your pet company. In your home I will keep a close eye on your pet to make sure their needs are met and follow any rules you may have to keep your pet safe.
About: Apart from having years of experience with my own pets(Dogs, fish, cats, reptiles, rabbits and more), I have years of experience caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family. I am currently a Student of the University of Washington, as well as a student athlete. I have many breaks throughout the day in which I could devote to pet care. On weekends I am available all day. I am organized and will be diligent about keeping your pet safe, healthy and happy. I am happy bring pets on long walks or short walks, depending on their physical needs and abilities.

Roxborough pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was an extremely reliable, sweet, and caring sitter for our pup. This was the second time Megan has watched Maya and we felt so at ease on vacation knowing she was so well taken care of. Plenty of notes, pics, and great communication with us throughout her time watching Maya once again. Highly recommend booking Megan!
Emily was an amazing Rover for my dog, Roxy! She was kind and caring, kept me updated throughout her drop-ins, and made sure Roxy was well taken care of. Her communication was excellent, and I felt at ease knowing Roxy was in good hands. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Nicole was super responsible and helpful, and provided tons of pictures. When we returned from vacation our cat barely seemed to care, which means she got lots of love and attention! Nicole also handled medication administration perfectly. We would use her again!
Mollie was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of our dog Blu while we were away! :) Her follow up notes and pictures were perfect and so helpful would highly recommend Mollie so friendly and good communication! professional! She’s great with dogs! :) TY
Megan was an incredible help walking and feeding our dog while we were away for a week! Her check ins were regular and detailed, and when I messed up the days I needed her she added on an extra day with no complaints. I would 1000% use megan again for the care of our dogs. Thank you megan !!
