“Natalie was great! She sent lots of photos. Had a very convenient schedule. Was great with communication. My pup was very happy after her walk with Nat!”
“Tricia is such an incredible sitter! She provides the best pictures and updates and can handle any pet large or small. She is patient with her sitting subjects and their safety is her utmost priority. I will certainly book her again!”


“Jackie is soooo amazing with Dolly on their weekly walks. She gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at school. She goes above and beyond and even taught her how to use the stairs (she used to really struggle with this before Jackie)! So grateful and 100% recommend!!”

“Chasity is a fantastic dog walker! When she first got started, she asked all the right questions to learn about my dog and what he needs for going on walks. She took great photos during the walk, and my dog was clearly a happy camper when he came home. Chasity is very responsive to communication and great with scheduling flexibility, especially on short notice. Highly recommended!”

“Lesley was a great dog walker and my dog was super comfortable with her and her family from the start. Will definitely reach out to her again for any future walking needs.”


About: Does your dog need a new friend? I am more than happy meeting pets of all sizes, energies, and personalities where they are at. I want to connect at your convenience and go over all needs and expectations for your furry friend. Beyond that, I am confident that I can figure out what your dog wants while you're away, and we'll have fun with it! I have many years of pet care experience on and off the apps. I'm not sure how to quantify the experience from owning my own dogs, cats, and other fun animals, to being the one my family and friends call when they leave, to meeting so many amazing pets and pet owners through the apps. I also have experience in animal shelters, volunteering for the SPCA in my hometown as a teenager which included walking, washing, and kennel clean up. I'm excited to be back on Rover! Reach out to me with any questions and let's start a conversation about your best friend. I'm currently working from home as a freelance video editor, which is possible to do anywhere as long as I have wifi, so I have lots of time for your pet's needs. I am flexible and easy to work with when it comes to scheduling and booking! I usually offer care in the client's home and will mostly adhere to your pet's routine. I'd love to plan a meet-and-greet or have a preliminary phone call ahead of our first booking. My partner and I have a cat, Bubs, so I won't be able to accept dogs or cats in my own home unless there is plenty of conversation and preparation ahead of that agreement.
About: I am a dog mom myself and I grew up with a poodle for 16 years. I’ve lived with and cared for a cat for 2 years and am the go-to pet sitter for friends when needed! I have experience with city dog walking, overnight or drop-in pet sitting, and medication administration. I have significant experience with senior dogs, am active and resilient in keeping up with younger dogs, and I'm game to help train. While my "expertise" and experience is with dogs, I love and have been a cat sitter for friends and neighbors and am not a novice. Because I’m a dog mom myself in an apartment I am unable to offer boarding, but I would love to help you out with drop-ins, walks, or house sittings this spring and summer! I’m lucky to have the time to offer my services and I understand the expectations and care an owner has when booking accommodations for their pet and I strive to provide that in return! I work part time during nights so I am flexible through the daytime and most nights a week/end. Happy to be of service for your last minute drop ins/walks in a pinch too! I have experience with drop-in/walking, house sitting, and overnight pet sitting. It’s important to me that your pet is comfortable, safe, happy and in as familiar and safe an environment as I can provide for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the anxiety and occasional frustrations with securing pet care when you’re away and I feel strongly about providing a loving and hospitable service to a client. I’m fortunate to have the availability for pet care right now and want to be available in any capacity I can for Philadelphia dog parents as the weather warms up.

“My dog Winnie loved her walks with Siobhan! She is very reliable and always gives Winnie lots of love and attention during their walks together!”

“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!”

“Kristen has been working with my dog Petey for about three weeks. Petey has very bad anxiety, and she's been very patient and responsive with him, mostly in-home visits, but a few walks when he's ready. Kristen leaves detailed notes on her cards and messages, so I feel relieved to know he's in good hands.”

“James was great to work with! He filled in for a few weeks while our usual dog walker was out of town and was extremely flexible with our work schedules. He was responsive and took great care of our dog. We will absolutely hire him again.”


About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.

About: Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

I have flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love while following their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable I always makes your pets safety my top priority by following your instructions and keeping their routine the same. ill make sure they feel comfortable, cared for and loved while you are away
“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.”

Alejandra was fantastic. I needed a dog walker last minute and she was able to accommodate. She was super communicative and friendly, followed my instructions to a T and took lots of photo updates of Mochi for me. Would 100% recommend and use her services again :)

Caroline did an excellent job with Norman. She’s thoughtful and caring and sent many updates on their time together. I felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and he came back so calm and happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who was looking for care, and we will certainly be calling her again!
