“Deliris is one of the most sweetest, best person I've ever met. She really loves animals, Sasha loves Deliris very much because she was so lovable to Sasha and treated her so amazing, I will definitely use Deliris services again”

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends’ dogs since I was in high school, either looking after them while my friend was away or taking them for a walk. I have also recently gotten a cat and have been trying to become a cat whisperer now! I am a medical student with lots of free time right now! Can pickup last-minute gigs and tend to your buddy whenever and wherever. I live in an apartment with my beautiful rescue cat and have a car to travel to get to your pet in need! Very flexible on timing and task.
“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”

“Irene was so amazing. She was able to perfectly administer a multi-step cat medicine. The cats loved her, even our less friendly cat wanted to interact with her. We definitely plan to book with her again!”

“Neide took such great care of CJ. It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous but she cared for my cat as if it were her own. She sent daily pictures and even a video.”

“I honestly believe I have found the best sitter ever! ✨ Rachel was so detailed and passionate when it came to caring for my babies. I really appreciated the constant communication and updates. She was so helpful and thoughtful in everything that she did. Teddy and Khloe loved having you care for them and hope to see you on the next one 😇”

About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.
About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.
About: With over two years of pet care experience, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I pay close attention to little details, like their favorite toys, preferred walking spots, treat times, and how they like to be greeted. Whether it’s belly rubs or playtime, your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first Currently, I’m getting online early morning training in my new skills, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow their routines, respect house rules, and pay attention to small details like locked gates and secure leashes. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy
“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”

About: I volunteer at my county animal shelter, walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I foster cats in my home. I’m experienced with shy, high-energy, and adjusting pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, focusing on safety, comfort, and consistent care. 🐾 I’m available on weekends with advance booking to ensure I can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m also available on Fridays after 7 PM, making it perfect for weekend trips or evening care needs. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide timely walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention.
“Jade was absolutely incredible. I have 4 crazy Aussies that are full of energy but also full of love. Jade paid close attention to all my directions and my dogs were so happy to have her come see them every day. She gave them lots of love and worked on tricks with them to keep them engaged. I would recommend Jade to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She was wonderful.”


“Marlita has checked in on our cat twice. She is very knowledgeable of cats and extremely thorough and reliable. Each time, we have felt at ease with our cat in her care. Overall, we have had great experiences with using Marlita’s services. She does a fantastic job! We would recommend Marlita to anyone looking for a cat sitter in this area.”

“Kethely has done an excellent job sitting for my uncle's kitties. She is very thoughtful and communicative and clearly has much understanding and deep love for animals. She is also smart and innovative. We really appreciated her effort and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hey! My name is Lenaiya and I am a Military Police Officer who loves fur babies. I grew up surrounded by many pets and that fact alone made me want to pursue a career in the army as a 31K (Military Working Dog Handler) when the position becomes available. I feel like pets should be treated with the same love and care we give ourselves because they too have feelings just as much as we do. When they’re happy I’m happy. Me being an empath allows me to tune into their emotions and provide the necessary care they need. I love being out in Nature and taking walks in the park (which is ironically across the street from my house). We will definitely be exercising, learning and eating a diet that is optimal for the health of the dogs as I’m very athletic and an advocate for healthy eating habits. I’ve volunteered for many shelters and loved every moment. I’m all about quality assurance and the Virgo in me is naturally nurturing. My home is fur baby heaven and I strive to make sure they are not only in the best environment but they also enjoy the environment they’re in as well. I’ve also pet sat for a plethora of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life without the company of furry friends so with that being said, I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby family! I care for my grandma a few hours a day throughout the week and spend most of my time at home. Some of my best moments are spent in the comfort of my own home. Them stretching those legs is far from an issue. I have plenty of room in my home for them to just be themselves and a room specifically for the comfort of them. I’m not a fan of keeping animals caged up because I wouldn’t want that for me so I allow them to be free and themselves when under my care.
South Broad Street pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mario has been such a reliable and caring sitter for my cat, Mits. He’s always willing to help—even with last-minute requests—which I really appreciate. I can tell Mits is genuinely happy to see him, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. It’s clear Mario truly cares about the pets he looks after, and I’m very grateful to have someone so dependable checking in on Mits!
Lilian was absolutely amazing with our cat, Loki! She was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to Loki’s routine and care while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Loki was in such loving and capable hands. We couldn’t recommend Lilian more highly!

Nima was so wonderful with Ollie. She’s a real professional and took great care when sending me photos and videos of him. It was my first time away from him and she was terrific in making me and Ollie at ease. 10/10 will recommend and will absolutely be reaching out to her again.

Marlita did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away, I could tell from her feedback and pictures my cat was loved and cared for. He loved her company so much! She also was a great help as I needed her caregiving last minute and she was available, which I truly appreciate. Looking forward to working with Marlita again!

Jane did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats. She was reliable, showing up twice daily as scheduled, and clearly took great care of them. She played with the cats during her visits and kept their litter consistently clean. We appreciated that she went beyond the basics, keeping our kitchen spotless where the cats are fed. The photos from each visit showed our cats looking comfortable and content. It was so nice to come home tired and jet-lagged to happy, well-cared-for cats without having to tackle any cat-related housework.

Words are not enough to how I would like to describe my customer experience with Irene, but here I’ll try. Irene was extremely: attentive, caring, responsive, detail-oriented, committed, flexible and on time. She cared for my peace of mind, having great chemistry and patience with my pet, spending time with her, going above and beyond. I’m extremely satisfied with Irene as a pet sitter. I highly recommend Irene and look forward to working with her in the future.

Had a fantastic first experience with Hsin Yun and Phil. They were extremely communicative and took fantastic care of our many cats! I felt like my cats had extra special care taken towards them and will definitely look forward to booking them again in the future.
