“When I first met Laura, I was impressed by how she handled my fearful and sometimes reactive dog. Her calm and confident demeanor and her caring attitude quickly won over Calvin. Within minutes of meeting Laura and her dog, Wally, Calvin was literally eating out of her hands. Laura not only gave me peace of mind during my vacation by sending me photos of Calvin and keeping me updated, but she also made Calvin feel safe and part of her family. I will definitely use Laura's services again!”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his excellent care the next time you need to board your smallest family member. Our Molly, who is in her 14th year, had just started to display some cognitive dysfunction as well as what we perceived as sadness in the loss of her best buddy, her brother from the same litter. Tony was very attentive and observant of Molly's behavior as she tried to adjust to her new surroundings. At times she did need some extra care due to her confusion or anxiety of her situation which Tony lovingly provided, all the while making sure that we were receiving videos and feedback as to her experience.”

“Eric took such great care of Kobe. He was so responsive, accommodating to Kobe’s needs, and was so gracious when traffic delayed our pick up. We will definitely be booking Eric again”

“We adopted a sweet 3-month old puppy from a shelter only a few weeks shy of our week-long vacation. Clearly not the best timing, and I'd worried who would watch the newest (teething/chewing, still house-training, very active, yet also very loved) member of our family. We'd selected Michell after noting the 5-star rating and significant number of repeat customers, and it was the right choice! Not only did they efficiently and professionally handle drop-off and pick-ups, they were wonderful about communicating with us and seemed to take great care of our puppy (no easy feat, as anyone who has owned a puppy can attest!). They sent multiple pictures daily with updates, which eased our minds while we were on the trip. Because they board a small number of dogs, our pup had a chance to socialize with other dogs, but still remain in a home environment with a large, fenced in yard. They were also incredibly understanding about what puppy care entails (even the messy parts!) and kindly shared their own experience having rescued and raised/trained multiple puppies themselves. Additionally, in one week, our puppy came back to us better behaved even, and we're fairly certain we have Mitchell and his husband to thank! We will definitely be reaching out to them again, and we're confident our pup will be glad to see her friends again during our/her next vacation!”

“Andreah is great, she sent updates throughout my Dogs stay with her. I’m usually very hesitant giving my dog to other people and she helped put me in ease with her level of care. I think my dog had a really great time as well which is what really matters!”

“Sherry was so kind and attentive to our dog. She had us do a meet-and-greet, which helped my dog to go to her when we dropped her off. She sent us pictures and videos while we were apart. She walked our dog frequently. We are grateful for her kindness to our dog.”

“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”

“Saya and David were absolutely amazing!!!! They treated my kiddo like an absolute princess. They sent me plenty of pictures and videos, and in every single one of them Khaleesi looks so happy. I am truly thankful to you both!”


“Madeline is amazing! I have a new puppy (11 weeks old) who I boarded with her overnight. He was very comfortable and happy! She followed all instructions for potty training and feeding. He was very happy and had so much fun. I definitely will be using her again if I need a sitter. Thank you Madeline!”

“Andres was wonderful. Great communication prior to the stay. He welcomes the dogs in his house. One of our dogs actually slept with him. I couldn't ask for anything more.”

“10/10… My Bella was made to feel at home. Yuiko sent me regular daily updates while I was away. I felt at ease and Bella felt at home. I will be reaching out for fire services again. Thank you Yuiko♥️”

“Virginia was an amazing Rover for our 2 dogs, Cleo and Louis! They seemed incredibly comfortable and loved in their few days with her. Virginia sent us photos and made sure to keep us updated on how they were doing.”

About: Hi there! I’m Barb, a lifelong animal lover who’s happiest when surrounded by wagging tails and purring cats! I’ve been part of the Rover community since 2018 and have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities over the years. Animals are truly my passion, which is why I now work with them full-time through pet care and grooming. I’m currently a part-time groomer at Petco, which has given me even more hands-on experience with animal behavior, handling, and making pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers — honestly, if it were up to him, we’d probably have 10+ dogs and cats by now! 🐶🐱 Our shared love for animals fills our home with warmth, laughter, and plenty of fur (the best kind!). We live in Glenolden, where we offer a safe, loving, and playful environment for pets to feel right at home. Our house has a fully fenced yard where pups can safely run, play, and enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time. We also share our home with our two rescue babies — Oliver and Tazzie — who have taught us so much about patience, love, and understanding every pet’s unique personality. Because of them, I have a special soft spot for anxious, timid, and rescue pets who may need extra reassurance and care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or just loves extra cuddles, I treat every animal like family. My goal is always to provide a stress-free experience filled with love, attention, playtime, and peace of mind for you while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration and caring for multiple types of animals, including cats and small pets. Your pet will always be in caring and capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 Pet care is part of my everyday life! I plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for. Always ask me and I will reply as soon as possible! I specialize in providing trustworthy and attentive pet care in the comfort of your homes since 2018. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring hands. I like to focus on maintaining routine and comfort for each pet, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I understand the value of a clean space and make it my mission to leave your home exactly as I found it. My extensive experience in house sitting/boarding has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation with professionalism and care, ensuring that both pets and homes are well looked after. Your trust is paramount, and I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations every time.
“Liam was extraordinary with my cat! He was an excellent communicator, gave me regular updates, followed all the necessary instructions (ie: diet, water, and also the antibiotic medications she needed to take). He was also really accommodating to my schedule for the pickup & drop off, which was really helpful during this current weather! I would highly recommend Liam to anyone needing to leave their beloved pet in great hands! Thanks Liam!”

“I always feels so great whenever Tofu is staying with Christopher. He takes such good care of her. He always takes the extra steps to make sure Tofu is extra safe and happy. He is always sending cute pictures and updates of their time together!”

“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”

“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”

“Lula loves staying with Chrissy and her daughter Stephanie, she feels completely at home and when she arrived for a second visit with them - she ran down the side walk to greet them!”

Saya and David were amazing! I had to book a sitter at the last minute, and they made the whole experience stress-free. I have two dogs with very different needs—one is high-energy, and the other is older and has a lot of anxiety—and they did a great job caring for both of them. They were very responsive, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.

Barbara was such an amazing host to our puppy Astra! She sent over plenty of pictures and a wonderful video of our pup playing with her dogs. Astra had a great time and came home absolutely exhausted which is a rare sight. Looking forward to booking with her again!

Jacqueline was wonderful. She was very sweet and attentive with my senior fur baby. Jackie understood that I was a nervous mommy, since this was my first time leaving Guennie with anyone outside a family member, and made sure to update me on Guennie, including sending photos and videos. The communication was great. Jacqueline made both of us feel comfortable and at ease. I will definitely use her again to watch my fur baby. Thank you, Jacqueline for taking such great care of Guennie.

Rocky just spent 4 days with Cinthia and her adorable dog Zoey. He had the best time and was so well taken care of. Cinthia sent me pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and I would use her again.
