“I totally loved Shanelle and the care and concern that she showed for our fur babies and our home while we were on vacation. She is very professionally and took her time to get know both of my dogs and their needs. She also bonded with our cat. Shanelle’s level of communication with us and her attention to detail was much appreciated. I will be booking with her again!”
“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”
“Andrew and the crew have been amazing! My dog is new to the city and they have done a great job introducing her to neighborhood pets and locations while being respectful of her fears and boundaries, they also offer great opportunities for outdoors activities . Definitely recommend their walks and other services. They are always prompt responders and the pictures ensure my Doggo had a great time.”
“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!”
“Awesome walk! My girl needed some exercise because I’ve had an ongoing injury. Nicole took her on a nice long brisk walk on a cold day. Much appreciated!”
“Such a pleasure meeting Caitlin and having her walk my 3 dogs over the weekend. She came for a meet and greet and walked my dogs numerous times while I was away. She’s pleasant to work with, quick to respond to my request/texts and gave great updates along the way!”
“Devon took excellent care of my little dog Winnie and provided super helpful updates and communication while taking her on walks. Thank you so much and so happy to keep booking your help in the future!”
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.
“Courtney was such a lifesaver while my husband was away! She walked our dog in the cold weather without hesitation and was incredibly kind, warm, and professional throughout. Our dog usually takes a little time to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. I truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us. We will absolutely be asking for her help again”
About: I grew up in a dog-loving family, who was very involved with our local dog shelter. Growing up, we frequently fostered puppies and young dogs in addition to living with our own big pup! When I was in college, I lived with a very small, older dog, and helped care for her as well. Throughout these experiences, I was able to gaina range of experience caring for dogs of multiple ages, sizes, and breeds. I worked for years as a nanny, and believe that caring for someone’s canine companions is not much different than caring for their children—every pup has a unique personality, relationship with people, and specific set of needs, but they ALL need attention and love! I am a self-employed artist, so I have the flexibility to create my own work schedule and can adapt to whatever your animal companion needs! I do not currently accept client's animals in my own home as I rent. However, I am more than comfortable meeting your animals in their own space. It's important for them to feel comfortable!
“Nicholas is great. He has been great with both my dogs. One of my dogs is reactive and just got back from a month long board and train and has been great helping me keep her on her training. They are always in great moods when I come home.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years, and I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I will follow all of your directions and make sure your pet is safe and loved! I am a teacher and I am off for the summer, so I have a lot of availability. I am happy to do overnights, drop ins, or walks! I will give your pet lots of attention and tend to their every need. I will be respectful of your space if I am at your home.
“Prompt, consistent, communicative, and flexible. Very easy to contact, update, and plan with. Willing and able to make specific tweaks based on client request and availability. Highly recommended, extremely consistent.”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends, and family believe I succeed at keeping their furry friends happy, safe, and healthy! I work normal office hours (9-5) throughout the week on a hybrid work schedule and would love more opportunities to be outside, be active and take care of pets over the weekends I will make sure dogs and cats are comfortable and familiar with me before taking them out on walks. I will also bring them to safe areas with lots of yard space away from busy roads/areas.
“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 !”
Schuylkill Southwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Madelynn was excellent. She was punctual, communicated well, was friendly and enthusiastic, and handled the task at hand in a professional manner. Madelynn is clearly a dog lover who will channel that energy into her work. I would highly recommend Madelynn for your pet care needs.
Brigitte, Alicia, Andrew, Yosea, and Esther are truly exceptional. They walked Liam and Cowboy alongside other dogs and handled everything with such care, confidence, and attentiveness. It’s clear they know how to manage group dynamics while still making each dog feel individually cared for. What really stood out this time was their professionalism when one of our boys unexpectedly got sick — they calmly cleaned up the vomit without hesitation and kept us informed. That kind of grace and responsibility says everything about the level of care they provide. They consistently go above and beyond, and we feel incredibly lucky to have a team we trust so completely with Liam and Cowboy. Highly, highly recommend.
