“Brian is the best dog-sitter in town. Charlie always comes home happy (and tuckered out.)”
“Kiara looked after Hallie for the day and it went very well. She sent of updates throughout the day & Hallie came home happy and exhausted, which is a sign of a great day :)”
About: Love, care and attention to things that I love are my passion and a part of who I am. My animals are like my kids. Im currently a stay at home mama, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Taking them to the park and taking them walks will be apart of our routine. I have a fenced in yard and a dog park down the street from my home, along with a big field to have plenty of play time! We will go on daily walks and your pup will have plenty of love with me!
“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! :)”
“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.”
“Summer LOVED staying with Kelly! She took such good care of her for the days she spent with Summer. She was fast to respond, sent updates & photos. Communication was outstanding and I’ll definitely have Kelly watch over Summer in the future!”
“Awesome communication! She did and does everything like I like it done. Her puppy is my puppy's best friend LOL completely please and highly recommended!”
“Deena was great with Chester and he had so much fun playing with her dog Athena and the other furry friends who were there. Chester will definitely be hanging out with Deena again!”
“So happy with the entire experience! Samantha took such good care of my Banjo, sent pictures the entire day and kept me updated on how he was doing. I would definitely recommend and will keep her in mind if I need someone to watch Banjo in the future!”
“Duke, my canine buddy, loved his day with Brigitte, Alicia & Andrew. He got to go play in pool which is perfect for these hot days lately. I will absolutely use them again for Duke, and highly recommend them to everyone. Very attentive and professional. Clearly cares about the pets they care for. Thanks for the card too, I really appreciate that extra note about the day.”
“Rosie had a wonderful day with Kanade. She kept her busy with fun activities and let me know how she was doing all day with adorable videos and pictures! I will definitely use Kanade again soon! ❤️”
“Georgilin and her husband have been a godsend! They are SO dependable. They genuinely love my dog as if she's apart of their family. They're excited to see her coming and sad to see her going. My dog just loves them and is always so excited when she see's them. Everyone's dog should be able to have an experience just like the one they provide. IMO Georgilin and her husband are hands down the best sitters in the Philadelphia area.”
“Victoria is wonderful with Finn and has been flexible with my work schedule. She is attuned to Finn’s needs and great at maintaining his routine.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Serena! She cared for Ollie like her own, sent pictures and kept me updated throughout the day! He came home the happiest pup and is still sleeping from all the extra playtime he got :) if you are looking for a caring, reliable sitter look no further. I am so happy to have found Serena and can’t wait to send Ollie back!”
“Amir and his family was great with Doi. They took care of him and sent me updates and pictures. I will definitely recommend and will be back for future needs”
“Jessica was wonderful! She clearly loves dogs and Moose immediately took to her. She walked and played with Moose and sent us some cute pictures. We also asked her to dog-sit day-of, and she was so accommodating of our schedule. Moose came back to us happy and tired!”
“Karen was wonderful with Bella - I can tell Bella had a great time with her and came home happy and tired :) Karen was very prompt with communication and kept me in the loop. I would love to work with her again! Thank you!”
About: Howdy! I'm Bobby. Just moved to Fitler Square (Philly) from Austin, Texas. My partner and I use Rover as a duo to dog sit in our home located just around the corner from the Schuylkill dog park. We also have 2 small shar peis, Lennix and Maddix, who love looking out the window to neighborhood watch throughout the day. I got my first dog (Roxy) when I turned 20 and she was with me for the entirety of my twenties. She watched as I switched jobs, moved from home to home, and experienced life with me, witnessing all my challenges and growth. She sadly passed just as I turned 30. Throughout the 10 years she was by my side, I learned new skills and ways to care for the best human companion on Earth, so I'm here to show just how well I can watch over your pup while you're away. ☺ I have a Little Free Library outside my house — feel free to use it as well. Corner of Manning and 24th. A little bonus: I do photography on the side, so I promise to send you some of the cutest photos of your dog you ever saw. ☺☺ I work from home on Mon and Fri, so I’m available to take care of your pet(s) Friday through Monday without leaving home. My partner is currently on sabbatical and will be working from home every day of the week as of May 2025 through August 2026. Being two of us (my partner and I), we have a system of at least one of us being around to watch over any dog we sit, making sure he/she is comfortable and happy. We have two dogs, so we will allow your pup to sniff around the house and get a feel for the space on its own first. We then introduce one of our dogs at a time so the pup we're boarding doesn't get overwhelmed.

Schuylkill Southwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sara accommodated our last minute request to watch our fur baby Pepper while we watched the Phillies game.
Victoria was communicative, flexible, and kind - I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in her care for the day!
Brian was straightforward, easy to book, communicated details about our dog's day and was flexible. Thanks!
Really nice and a fast responder! Appreciated Karen's communication and flexibility. Would definitely use again!
Yelian did a fantastic job taking care of my dogs, Choco and PB! She was attentive to their needs and followed all the instructions I gave, including taking them out for potty breaks at the right times. I was especially impressed and grateful that she even fixed PB’s shoes. Such a thoughtful and caring gesture. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such good hands. Highly recommend her!
Sarah was excellent! Sent multiple photos throughout the day and was quick with communication. Would recommend her to any friends and hope to book her again in the future
This was our second time leaving our pup with Virginia, and she was just as amazing as the first time — if not better! She kindly accepted our booking at the last minute, and we’re so grateful for her flexibility. She always keeps us updated with sweet messages and photos, and it’s clear our dog feels happy and safe with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and caring! 🐾❤️
Rififi can be a little shy around new people and slow to eat or play in new places. Teresa had my little guy warmed up and eating and playing on their first day together! She sent a lot of pictures and updates throughout his stay which I really appreciated! I will be rebooking with Teresa!
Despite my dog have a rocky start, Reggie stuck with her and made sure she was taken care of for the day. Thanks again!
Shaanita was amazing with my girl! She treated her like family, and my dog had the best time hanging out with Ashton. It was such a comfort knowing she was in a loving home with another sweet dog to keep her company. Highly recommend Shaanita for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Shakira did such an amazing job with my dog Paris! She sent so many pictures and kept me updated the whole time. You can tell she really loves dogs and it shows in her care.
Kaitlin was wonderful with our pup! She helped us out last minute and sent great pictures and updates during the stay — we are so glad we found her and would definitely want to book her again!
John was very friendly, thorough and knowledgeable about answering all of our questions. He was kind and caring with our Penny and provided plenty of pictures to keep us up to date throughout her stay.
Kristina was wonderful with Astro who is generally slow to warm up to people. She was calm and patient with him. Would definitely recommend!
Kanande was very nice when watching my baby. She made sure she kept my dog very comfortable and loved due to her being nervous. She communicated with me to update me on my furry baby and send plenty of photos to keep me at ease. I would definitely book her again and she was great. Thank you!
Hyann took such great care of our little fur baby! She was accommodating and patient with me and my hectic schedule. Would highly recommend her (and so would my dog)!
Fabulous care, responsive, attentive to our needs and to those of our pups. Couldn't be better. BTW, Great photographer. Got one of the best pix of my smaller dog in a status update
