“Brian is the best dog-sitter in town. Charlie always comes home happy (and tuckered out.)”



“Madeleine and her family were awesome. They made our Army Navy weekend even greater. We got to enjoy the game and tailgate while Ginger and Kindle had a fun time too. One of my friends who were with us remark how awesome they came out to greet us as we dropped off the dogs. They make you feel like your family. Thanks so much!”


“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! :)”


“Highly recommend! Thank you so much for watching our pup on such short notice. Would recommend to anyone looking for a kind, caring pet sitter.”


“Kelly has been the absolute best petsitter for my dog, Roo! She's caring, attentive, and sends the best updates/photos. Roo and Scoots have become great friends! Kelly is so flexible and has been available for early mornings and late nights with my hectic work schedule. Roo has separation anxiety and Kelly is very understanding of her needs. We're unfortunately leaving Philly and wish we could take Kelly and Scoots with us, we highly recommend!”


“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!”


“Nicole saved us when my sitter cancelled last minute. Meeko and Eevee were totally comfortable with her and she sent pictures as they settled in and on their walk. They had a great time. We would definitely pick her next time we are local!”


“So grateful to Brigitte, Alicia, & Andrew for taking care of my pup like he was their own! 5 stars all day. Excellent communication & frequent updates”


“We were in town for a wedding with various activities. Georgilin and Julian were very flexible with our schedule and kind and caring to our tiny pup. We will call on them again.”


“Samantha was awesome and kept communication with me constantly which made me feel more at ease. I definitely plan on rebooking with Samantha in the future.”


“Ester was phenomenal with my dog mazzy! Super attentive and sent me lots of photos and videos. She also made sure to follow all my instructions. Will definitely be using her again.”


“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!”


“They were incredibly accommodating and wonderful with my dog. I cannot thank them enough for their patience and generosity. Thank you so much!”


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!

“Erin was absolutely PHENOMENAL! She was so accommodating and showed my fur baby so much love. I highly recommend entrusting Erin with your pup! Thank you, Erin! ?”



About: I've been looking after my own dog as well as friends and family members for as long as I can remember. And that's a long time! I'm in my happy place when I'm around loving animals I'm recently semi retired and looking forward to to doing more of what I enjoy. Like spending time with man's best friend. Nothing is more rewarding than doing what you love My home is pet friendly and can be set up for any size pet. Whether it's in a crate or having the run of the house. I can accommodate most dogs needs

“Sara, you guys were wonderful with our BudderBall. Loved that you keep us updated and sent pics on him. It made me so comfortable with we drop him off he went right in home with you guys and didn't even look back. I knew he was in great hands. We will definitely see you guys again.”


About: Since I was a child, I grew up in a household where we rescued animals. My mother rescued hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and cats, and it surprised no one I followed in her footsteps. Aside from always being a fur-mom myself, I’ve fostered animals on my own accord, with personal finances, and found my rescues their forever homes. I’ve also partnered with a friend, who does run an actual rescue, to perform background checks on applicants. She’s allowed me to use her resources, where I’ve been able to receive affordable veterinary care for my foster visits. I’ve performed CPR on animals, administered medicine orally, and bottle fed newborn puppies and kittens. I’ve done the dirty work, too, where I’ve provided flea baths, removed ticks, and treated “diaper rash”. There’s actually photos I have, where I’m covered in Desitin rash cream. Honestly? There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to save an animal. Or, to provide an animal love and comfort. I’m permanently working from home, so I have the ability to stay with your furry child all day and care for them. This includes lounging in the house, and I also have my backyard where we can all stretch our legs and play. I am a firm believer in safety first. I treat all animals as if they’re my own children, and I always consider their safety to be paramount. In my own home, I have a pet-friendly setup. This means, I don’t have plants that would be toxic to animals, and I ensure that all food is stored properly and away. There are no sharp objects in my house. When I’m sitting a cat or dog, I’m also always around to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous. I make sure to use pet safe cleaning products. When I’m house sitting, I respect the rules of someone else’s home, and I ensure that I’m careful when entering and exiting any home (mine or someone else’s) so that no animals escapes. Before sitting for an animal in someone’s home, I have a lengthy conversation with them to go over expectations and the safety rules of the house. I follow these rules like they are my own. I will crate a dog if the pet parent requires it— and dogs and cats are allowed to roam freely in my home (under my watchful eye) if a crate isn’t needed. I will crate as requested.

“Jessica is the best. She took Simba to the park everyday and gave him the necessary exercise he needs. My 6 month old puppy is very energetic, so she definetly had the patience and knowledge to know how to take care of him. She also sends many pics and vids and her communication is spot on! The best part is that she know spanish, so she could talk to Simba in the language he understands.”


“I had to get Claudia on the spur of the moment because of two emergencies I had in my life. She live close to me and I did not know her other than Rover.com. She was so good with my baby. She took care of them like it was their own dog. He loved her and loved being with her. And she’s very good with animals. She had more knowledge than I did since this is my first time. I recommend anyone who needs a sitter or help with their dog to use Claudia. I will when I need her again.❤️❤️❤️❤️”
