“Hope did a great job taking care of our dog! She was extremely communicative, friendly and professional. She sent lots of pictures and it looks like they had a great time together!”

“Emily is very good at what she does! She was super attentive to our pup and cats, sent lots of photos, communicated clearly, and took great care of our house. Your pets will be in great hands with her!”

“Lauren was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Lizzie and Archie. Lizzie has an ear infection and was testy but Lauren just stayed the course and Lizzie warmed up by the end of the day. Lauren even gave her her medicine. She’s a responsible young woman and I will definitely call on her again.”

“Ellen was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and loved while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious my dog was not only well taken care of, but truly happy in her care. When I came home, everything was perfect—and my dog was calm and content, which says it all. I would 100% trust Ellen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dedicated dog sitter!”

“Stella had an extended stay with our pup and she was so wonderful at making sure our baby felt comfortable while we were gone. It was our first time being away so we were understandably anxious about how Philomena would do but Stella sent us loads of updates, photos and videos. Our pup had a wonderful staycation all thanks to her!!!”

“Zoe stepped in for us when a sitter had to cancel last-minute and she was excellent! It was our first time leaving our pup with someone overnight and it was a great success. Our dog has bad separation anxiety and we were so grateful Zoe was able to hang with him the entire time we were away. She followed our instructions and was easy to communicate with, punctual, and very kind. We’d absolutely hire her again!”


“Emily watched our pup for us for an extended weekend while we were away and was great! She was flexible and helped give our dog meds when she got sick right before we left.”

“Taylor is a great pet sitter! I am a self proclaimed crazy pet parent and I get really nervous about leaving my pets with someone else. However, I didn’t worry at all when Taylor watched my dogs and cats. She took excellent care of them and they were happy all weekend! I will definitely be using Taylor again in the future.”

“We had SUCH a great experience with Zach! He was super responsive, provided great pictures and updates of our pup each day, and clearly took care of him as if he was his own dog. Would highly recommend and plan on using again in the future! He also left our house so clean and tidy which was an unexpected bonus!”

“rebecca was absolutely wonderful with my dog inez. there was a heat wave, an air quality alert, and a tornado watch and rebecca made sure my dog was safe and content. i got regular updates and pictures and i will definitely reach out again for rebecca’s services and recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter :)”


“Leah is every pet parent's dream! She is communicative, prompt, energetic and clearly loves spending time with and caring for animals. Leah follows instructions to the letter. She not only spent great quality time with our senior dog, she kept our home immaculate during her house sitting stay. To top it all off, Leah is just about the nicest young person we have met in a long time. She really cares about making a good impression with the families she works with and it is clear by the way she handles our Lab, our home and herself that she is extremely competent, trustworthy and dependable. If we could give her ten starts we would!”

“Luke was incredible! We were gone for 5 days, entrusting our large, high energy, chaotic dog and 2 cats with Luke. Luke kept us apprised of any issues, while also fostering a sense of trust. I highly recommend Luke!”

“Mina is a friendly, calm, and communicative sitter! We had a very pleasant meet and greet despite my dogs being pretty annoying and yappy at strangers. She took wonderful care of my two pups for a housesit for a day, and it was clear from the photos that they warmed up to her quickly! Would gladly have her back and recommend her to other dog parents.”

“Angela was lovely! She was very responsive and our dog took to her immediately. She sent lots of pictures, checked in about specifics, and left our house in perfect condition. We are happy to hire Angela again!”

“Jennifer was awesome when we had to get a sitter for my dog and cat on short notice over Christmas! My boxer can be a handful, but she kept everything running smoothly and sent adorable pics.”

“Raspberry is a really nervous dog and has a lot of separation anxiety, but Ava was great with her and Raspberry was able to stay calm the whole time I was gone! Exceptional communication too!”

About: Hi, I’m Payson! I’m a compassionate and dependable animal lover with 5 years experience caring for pets. I have an excitable and loving 3 year old springer spaniel at home with my parents and grew up with pets in the home. I (very sadly) don’t have any pets in my apartment here in Philly, so I am eager to spend time with all animals and love on them. I will ensure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m naturally organized and reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always know how your beloved pet is doing while you’re away. We will go for long walks/ have lots of snuggles. I’m excited to meet you and see if I’m a good fit for your needs! I have always provided pet care to families wherever I have lived and am looking to do the same here in Philly. I moved here a few weeks back and am eager to meet all the lovely animals in the area. Unfortunately I cannot have pets in my apartment— so I’d prefer to come to your place for overnight stays. I am happy to care for plants and any other household needs while I am in your home.

Natalie house sat for us for 2 weeks while we were abroad. She took excellent care of our two cats, one of whom is senior and requires medication/asthma inhaler. She took great care of our home and was super communicative throughout the entire trip. The cats were healthy and happy upon our return. I highly recommend her, she is a kind and laid back person who was perfect for the job!!!
What a pleasure it was to meet Amanda and have her stay in our “home”. We are traveling and Amanda came to the campground (with just two days notice!) and watched our three pups. She walked them, cared for them, and shared updates with us. She gave us suggestions on what to see in Philadelphia. We were impressed with her kindness. We highly recommend Amanda for your pets!

Holy cow, Rebecca is amazing. She always takes such good care of my husky Stevie and is perfect at dealing with the energy and attitude that my dog throws at her. Stevie can get very anxious when I leave her behind, but I can rest assured that she’s not missing me when Rebecca comes to stay. On this fateful stay, Stevie got sick and was having accidents all over the apartment. Rebecca was such a trooper and helped my girl through her sickness, while also cleaning and taking care of my apartment and furniture. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and even ran out to buy supplies. When things were looking a little dicey, she consulted me before taking Stevie to my vet, and got me on the phone so I could talk to the vet. She took detailed notes and explained the meds back to me when I came home. I can’t imagine having anyone else take care of my dog after the lengths Rebecca went to. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough, she was so gracious and kind to me and my dog throughout the entire poop storm. Thank you a million times over!!!

I think this is the third(maybe fourth?) time that Audrey has pet/ house sat for us, and I can say we'd definitely be happy to have her watch the fur(and scaley) kids any time. She's great with communication, sends pictures of the kids, and has handled any speedbumps(usually on our end) without any issues. Super happy that we found Audrey on here and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter and piece of mind when you have to be away from your fur kids.

Dan was terrific! He house sat and watched our two pugs for four nights and then coordinated "hand off" to a friend of ours while we were away. He kept in regular contact, sent lots of pictures, and left everything as he found it. We'd be happy to use him again.

Jovelle was absolutely fantastic. She sent twice‑daily updates with great photos, which kept me completely at ease while I was away. Loki looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for in every single check‑in. Her communication was consistent, thoughtful, and reliable. When I got home, my apartment was in excellent shape — clean, organized, and exactly how I left it. It’s clear Jovelle takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again.

Emily was wonderful! She was able to accommodate our request last minute and spent the whole day with Panda. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Panda seemed very comfortable with her, and we really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was. We’d absolutely book with Emily again!

Ellen was wonderful with my senior dog, Reuben! He has quite a few quirks and can be a little particular, so I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was with him. She took the time to understand his routine and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was out of the country. I came home to a happy pup and felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Ellen for both walks and pet sitting!

Lauren was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Lizzie and Archie. Lizzie has an ear infection and was testy but Lauren just stayed the course and Lizzie warmed up by the end of the day. Lauren even gave her her medicine. She’s a responsible young woman and I will definitely call on her again.

This is my second time using Erin and she continues to do a great job. We get tons of amazing photos of our pups relaxed and happy and it makes our trips much more enjoyable knowing they're in good hands. We also had a last minute schedule change that Erin was able to accommodate, no questions asked. We're very glad we found her on Rover and will absolutely be booking her again!

Darina was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with Petunia for multiple nights and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. My biggest priority was knowing that Petunia was safe, happy, and well cared for, and Darina went above and beyond. She sent two incredibly detailed check-ins every day with plenty of pictures, kept our very active and energetic pup entertained, and made sure she got long walks to match her energy. She also watered our plants and even helped with our laundry, which was such a thoughtful surprise. We came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely trust Darina with Petunia again!

Jess is wonderful! Not only did she take great care of our boys, she went above and beyond to clean the house before she left - even washing the bathmat and cleaning the toilet. I came home to two very happy pets and a spotless house. Jess is also a great communicator and sent pictures every day. We will definitely book again!

Grace was wonderful- she stayed with my pup during our 10 day travel and took great care of her! Grace made her feel comfortable right away, took her on walks, played and snuggled. Our pup loved spending time with Grace! She left our home in perfect condition and had great communication. We’ll definitely re-book with Grace anytime we need!
