“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.”

“Alex was great with Beluga! Super flexible, took plenty of pictures, it's evident that on a scorching hot day, Alex was able to provide Beluga with plenty of relaxing space to hang out and cool down :)”

About: 🦴 I always bring treats for my visits! Please let me know if your pup has any allergies. 🐾 Drop-in visits can include a potty break, short walk, playtime, and basic training (sit & paw) at no extra cost. 🏡 Boarding and Day-Care includes bowls, toys, poop bags, beds and scratcher, just pack your dog's/ cat’s food, cat litter and any comfort items they'd like. - I spend most of my time at home, so dogs-cats in my care are rarely left alone for more than 2 hours. I also have my sister who can helps me watch them while I’m away! I have over three years of hands-on experience caring for my own poodle, whom I raised from the time he was 3 months old. Although he currently lives with my family overseas, raising him taught me the patience, consistency, and responsibility that puppies need. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and following each pet's routine to ensure they receive attentive, loving care. I’m a Temple University student who is studying Biology under pre-med track. My class schedule is flexible throughout the week, which allow me to make time for pet care and work with different scheduling needs. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, and daily routines. I pay attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs to help make sure they are safe and comfortable during every visit. 🌟Feel free to use my promo code JESLYK31939 to get $20 off your first booking with any Rover sitter
“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!”

“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”

“Lauren was great with Roxie! She was kind enough to help us out with short notice and made Roxie feel like she was right at home. Roxie is a senior pup with special needs”
“We booked Erin for a short 1 day stay in Philly the day after Christmas with just one week’s notice. Communication was great and we received plenty of pictures. Our pup had a blast! Highly recommend.”

“Rob was a true life saver when we needed last minute sitter for our puppy Bruce! It was awesome getting pics knowing he was having fun and well taken care of. So happy with Rob’s care!!”

“Kanade is so lovely and took incredible care of our pupper. I recommend her highly for all of your pet care needs - she sent lots of pictures, Lucy came back happy and calm and clearly was well loved.”

“Glenda is so wonderful! She has become my go to sitter for my new rescue. She has been both flexible and communicative about coordinating scheduling and sends cute photo updates throughout the day.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Sara. This was our first dog sitting experience, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Absolutely will ask Sara to watch Finn again next time we’re in Philly.”

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.
“Christopher was amazing as usual! He goes above and beyond and takes my dog for more/longer walks than required, and sends consistent, detailed updates. You can't go wrong with Christopher!”

“Devon took such great care of Beans! Beans loves her so much and he had such a good time. She took lots of pictures and he was so enriched with his visit he slept through the night and morning! Highly recommend Devon!!”

Renee watched over our pup for a meet-and-greet before his upcoming boarding stay and did a wonderful job. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Even though our pup is full of energy, he came home happy, relaxed and thoroughly exercised. It was clear he had a great time and we’re looking forward to his upcoming boarding stay. Thanks Renee!

Ariella was such a wonderful sitter! She was so patient and understanding of my very anxious dog. With a nervous dog, it can be stressful leaving her with someone new for the first time since you never know how it’s gonna go, but Ariella provided regular updates, which was much appreciated and put me so much more at ease. I would absolutely book another visit for my dog with Ariella next time the opportunity arises!

I had a wonderful experience with James. He was kind, responsive, and accommodating with every suggestion and request I had, which made me feel very comfortable leaving Pilgu in his care. The best part was seeing how willingly Pilgu went with him at drop-off. He didn’t hesitate at all—which was reassuring… although I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that he didn’t even look back at me! 😂 It’s clear he made him feel safe and comfortable. I truly appreciated the updates and the care he gave him. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Shae was able to accomodate my pup Kaia last-minute for dog-sitting (requested the morning of) and was communicative throughout the entire process. She was so patient and kind with Kaia, who started out a little nervous, but was able to quickly win her over. I would recommend Shae to any pet owner who wants only the best care for their animals! Thanks Shae!

Brigette was incredible! She is the first rover in Philly we’ve tried and we don’t have to look any further! Both our pups immediately loved and and felt comfortable. Brigette sent us tons of pics and updates - the best kind of sitter! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys!

Madeline was absolutely wonderful with Pixel! She took great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very attentive, kind, and easy to communicate with. It was clear that Pixel was comfortable and well cared for. We truly appreciated all the updates and her thoughtful care. We would happily book with Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
