House Sitting South Philadelphia

“At the last minute, I added a foster dog that had to stay quarantined from Hina. Sky was flexible and patient and did a great job with both my small dog and the big foster pit bull.”

“Courtney has house sit with my 2 fur babies. They love her very much! She plays with them gives them much love. I come home to 2 happy healthy babies. My one dog is a senior with a heart condition and it’s like I never left. I 100% recommend her for any pet services.”

“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!!!”

“Jacob was AMAZING with our four...challenging pets (two cats, two dogs). His communication with us was clear and consistent throughout our entire trip, he followed all of our instructions exactly as we asked, and our animals (and house!) were all well taken care of. I can't recommend Jacob enough!”

Jake I.

“I would highly recommend Nathan! Nathan truly saved us in a really hard situation where another rover sitter abandoned our dog mid-stay (because my dog was anxious and barking), and we were out of town. Nathan immediately offered to help even though he had never met my dog or myself before. He listened to me talk on the phone for over 20 minutes about my dogs complicated medication schedule and assured me he was happy to help. Nathan sent constant updates and went above and beyond to spend extra time with my dog. I will 100 percent be booking Nathan next time I need a sitter and my dog adores him!”

About: As a dedicated wildlife and pet caretaker with a passion for understanding and protecting animal habitats, I have spent years immersed in the wonders of the natural world. As a pet owner for over six years, I’ve deepened my appreciation for the unique bonds that form between humans and animals, whether in our homes or in the wild. Currently, I take care of my beloved rescue Siberian husky Niko. As well I spend some of my free time looking after my friend’s dogs and cats. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for pets' minds and bodies. Currently I’m a student at Drexel university and have a very flexible schedule. I’m free Thursday-Sunday mostly in the mornings to late afternoons. Depending on the day I can also do evenings It is important to that pets are comfortable and feel safe all conditions. I make it a rule of thumb to keep dogs on leash during public walks and around other pets. If there is a fenced in area I will make it a priority to check and see if the area is properly supervised and secure for your pet. On regular walks having fun is always number 1. If your pet wants to chill inside and needs cuddles, or wants to take an extra adventure i’m always down.

“So glad I found Katrina! She was the absolute best with Abby. Abby can be anxious with new people and around other dogs, but Katrina did absolutely amazing navigating Abby's anxiety. From taking her time letting Abby warm up to her, to incorporating Abby's favorite past times (walks and people watching) into the day, Katrina truly went above and beyond to take Abby comfortable and happy while I was away. I love that she kept me updated with pictures, videos and notes from the day, too! She also took amazing care of my apartment and everything was clean and tidy when I got home. I already have Katrina booked for a longer trip, knowing I'll be able to go on vacation worry free! Thank you Katrina for taking such good care of Abby and for keeping her days fun while I was away!!”

“Emily is amazing. My dog can be extremely stubborn when she doesn’t want to go out but Emily was undeterred. Winnie also hates thunderstorms and there were several while Emily was watching her and Emily was so attentive to keeping Winnie calm during the storms. Emily also sent great photos and regular updates. I felt super at ease knowing Winnie was in Emily’s hands!”

“quanece and malik were amazing !! this is my first time hiring a rover and they were incredibly thorough, communicative, and easy to work with. i don't love leaving my animals but when i have to, they'll be the first people i reach out to :)”

“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!”

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of having Hope take care of our dog and home for a week when we were in a last minute pinch - we could not be happier with the experience! She responded to the booking quickly and scheduled a virtual meet/greet to accommodate the last-minute nature of our request and we could tell immediately she was an experienced pet sitter and highly trustworthy. She arrived promptly, followed all of our dog's care instructions, and gave him tons of love, attention and walks. We loved receiving regular updates and photos of him lounging on the couch and joining her zoom meetings - it really helped put our minds at ease because he's usually anxious while we're away. When we returned, our home was spotless, and our dog was relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Hope to anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter! Thank you for everything!”
