Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.

About: I grew up with many different animals and taking time to learn behaviors and what they like means alot to me. I love dogs personally and getting to spend time with them and learning and caring for them is really important. Im a part time student and I think pet sitting/walking is very convient for me. I have alot of time and willing to spend that time with animals I always made time for my pets and learned around them to make them comfortable with the environment and people, unfortunately I have family that are allergic so I dont have any anymore. In my clients home I prefer for it to be clean and make sure its space for pets to have a good stretch

About: Hi! I’m Marcella, a lifelong animal lover, cat mom, former ICU nurse, and current nurse anesthesia graduate student at Penn. If there’s a pet in the room, chances are I’m talking to them before I introduce myself to the humans. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’ve spent my entire life around cats and dogs and have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience through caring for my own pets, helping family members, and pet sitting for friends. I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have two very spoiled cats of my own. I also help care for my family’s Australian Shepherd and Labrador, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog is ready for an adventure or your cat prefers to be admired from a respectful distance, I’m happy to meet them where they are. As an ICU nurse for the past six years, being dependable, attentive, and calm under pressure has become second nature. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I’m also comfortable administering medications and have experience giving both oral and transdermal medications to cats and dogs. One of my own cats is a senior, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets often need. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I’ll respect your home, communicate clearly, send plenty of updates and photos, and care for your pets as if they were my own. I love learning their routines, favorite treats, weird little habits, and all the things that make them unique. Animals genuinely feel like family to me, and one of the best parts of my week is getting outside for a walk with a dog or spending time earning the approval of a skeptical cat. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident they were cared for every step of the way.🤍 I’m a graduate student at Penn, and my class schedule is concentrated into specific blocks throughout the week. This means I’m typically available for morning visits before class, afternoon visits between classes, evening visits on many weekdays, and all day Friday-Sunday. My schedule is planned well in advance, so I can reliably accommodate feeding schedules, medication administration, litter box care, playtime, and check-ins. I’m especially well-suited for cat care because most cats thrive with consistent drop-in visits while staying comfortable in their own home. If your cat has specific timing needs for meals or medications, feel free to reach out, I’m more than happy to discuss my availability and see if we’re a good fit! I believe most pets are happiest in their own homes, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. Whether your pet needs a walk, a meal, medication, playtime, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of love!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been taking care of them. Currently have two cats and two dogs. My wife calls me the cat whisperer. I work full time Monday through Friday but can stop before and after work as needed. I can be fully flexible on the weekends as needed. Our current animals eat twice a day and the cat’s litter box is cleaned daily. The dogs need walks and everyone needs cuddles. I change the litter fully bi-weekly.

About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals, starting with my childhood dog, who was a huge part of my life growing up. As a current grad student, I have some extra time and am looking to make some new furry friends! More recently, I’ve helped care for a new puppy, so I’m comfortable with both the patience older dogs need and the energy (and chaos!) that comes with younger ones. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’m always happy to go on long walks, and as a former college runner, I can easily keep up with higher-energy dogs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. Everyone that knows me knows how much I love dogs and I am excited to bring that passion to helping your dogs stay happy and safe while you are away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m currently a graduate student at University of Pennsylvania, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m regularly available on weekends, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and most Wednesdays, with additional availability at other times during the week. For walks, your dog’s safety and comfort will be my top priorities. I will make sure each walk follows your dog’s usual routine, including preferred routes, pace, and any specific instructions you provide. I will stay attentive to my surroundings at all times and will keep dogs securely leashed unless otherwise instructed. I will avoid unsafe situations (like extreme weather, crowded areas, or unfamiliar dogs if needed) and will always prioritize your dog’s well-being. I will happily accommodate any special needs, whether that’s extra patience with a nervous dog, reinforcing training, or adjusting activity levels for puppies or senior dogs. I will also make sure your home is left exactly as I found it. You can expect clear communication and updates after each walk so you know your dog is happy and in good hands.

About: 🐾 Calm, patient care for dogs who need extra understanding. I especially enjoy caring for anxious, reactive, and sensitive pets who thrive with patience, structure, and thoughtful handling. As the owner of a 3-year-old rescue Goldendoodle, I have firsthand experience with leash reactivity, pulling, and anxiety. I understand canine body language and know how to help dogs feel safe, regulated, and secure. Whether your dog needs slow introductions, sniff-focused walks, or extra reassurance, I tailor my care to their unique needs. My goal is simple: exceptional care for your pet and peace of mind for you. I work hybrid with some days in South Jersey. I’m available daily after 5:30 PM • Flexible dog walks and drop-ins on Mondays, Thursdays, and weekends • Full availability for all services on weekends I prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, play, and any specific instructions to keep things consistent and low-stress. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, whether that’s exercise, sniff time, or a calm structured walk. My goal is reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Prior two years of working at a dog daycare, and doing occasional on the side dog sitting for customers from that daycare! Took care of family dogs (Chihuahua and Dachshund!) for multiple years, lots of neighborhood dog sitting as well. **Testimonials may have the name "Stephanie" this is my deadname, and I prefer to be called Theo, thank you! I have a different job but my hours are very infrequent and usually late from 7pm to Midnight or later, so other than that I am essentially constantly home! Pets are allowed on the minimal furniture I have, but plenty of rugs that dogs seem to absolutely adore rolling around in! I have a comfy corner I set up near my window that dogs love to relax in and stare out and watch people and cars go by! I don't have personal dog supplies, so supplies like bowls, crates, food, leashes, etc would be needed!

Sarah was wonderful with my dog, Bruno. I was in a real bind during the big snowstorm and sent a last-minute request, and she didn’t hesitate to step in despite the uncertainty with the weather. Her communication was fantastic—quick, clear, and reassuring the whole time. Bruno was so really comfortable with her right away. I will definitely be booking with her again. 5 stars!

About: Hi everyone! my name is Rhyeshona but I prefer Shona a 24-year-old part time child care assist that also happens to love the second kind of children, animals. Unofficially I have 10+ years of experience taking care of an assortment of pet’s due to growing up in a “zoo”. Growing up my family would get a new pet every month of the year and each one demanded different requirements. Believe me I know about giving quality time around the clock. When it comes to activeness as well as my communication I take great pride in it, that’s why I’ll have no problem updating you on your pet’s with handfuls of pictures included. Being able to spend time with animals that’s suppose to act like animals gives me peace of mind and I look forward to meeting them. Around last year I graduated with my associate’s degree in Culinary Arts. After graduation however I found myself bouncing around jobs before working in childcare until I can become my on boss. I’m looking forward to meeting both you and your beloved pet. Boardings and Drop In’s I’m always around to help. ANY QUESTIONS IN MIND? GOT A PET THAT’S NOT A CAT OR DOG BUT STILL REQUIRES CARE? DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT! Though I work from Monday-Friday I’m most likely always home. However when Im out I’m not the only one caring for your pet it’s a family effort. I’m available from 7am to hours late into the night during the week and weekend. My home is available for care as well as your own to broaden your options. Though I don’t have my own vehicle my communication skills and experience with public transportation allows me to stay punctual. Any size cat is in my comfort zone, for dog’s I’ll be sticking with small-medium. If your pet has a routine you’d like to keep intact I’m more then willing to stick to it to provide normalcy and training to them
