“Kate watched our anxious pup Peanut for a long weekend, staying in our home. She did an amazing job making him (and us) so comfortable. She was very flexible with meeting him in advance and getting to know his routine and quirks. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our home was exactly as it was when we left - she was incredibly neat! I would absolutely recommend Kate and we will certainly be using her in the future!”


“This was our first time using Rover and I'll be honest, I was pretty nervous about it. Alina completely put us at ease. Before the booking even started, she came by to meet Lou and Max and go over everything, which made a huge difference. Throughout the stay she was responsive whenever we reached out, and if anything came up on her end she contacted us right away. She treated our boys and our home with genuine care and respect. We came back to the house in better shape than we left it, and she sent us photos of the boys while we were away which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be requesting Alina again for future trips. If you're looking for someone who is responsive, professional, and truly attentive, look no further.”

“Hailey is the best! We are always reluctant having new dog sitters; however, she not only made us feel comfortable, but our dog as well! She was very responsive and we loved the pictures she sent us while we were gone. I highly recommend Hailey!”


“Brian and Georgette are terrific house and pet sitters...they communicate well (just enough, not too much), took amazing care of our dog and left the house in great shape, just as we left it. We look forward to future opportunities to have them back.”

“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”

“1,000,000/5 stars for Jesse’s phenomenal job babysitting my energetic 2 year old pug!! I was in a pinch as a loved one unfortunately passed, leaving me on a time crunch to find a sitter for a funeral. My dog is recovering from eye surgery which initially made me nervous about putting him in someone else’s care. From other reviews, I could instantly tell that Jesse would be the perfect fit, and I could not be happier with the outcome! Jesse went above and beyond with excellent communication, punctuality, a positive attitude, and a relaxed demeanor. My dog and Jesse instantly got along, Jesse was ready to jump right in! I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands, an understatement. Jesse was so awesome that I’m thinking of planning some vacations, I won’t have to even think twice about who to go to for watching my little pup. I’m so happy that my dog has a new buddy and someone I can truly trust. I highly recommend his services and will be spreading the word. If you’re looking for a sitter, JESSE IS THE BEST!!!!!!”

“Troy & Shalah were AMAZING with our baby Cosmo and our home! 🤩 We were beyond happy to see daily photos of Cosmo, along with check ins and texts regularly. We had absolutely no concerns at all and will happily book them again! Thanks so much! 🐶❤️”

“Joelle is the best! She takes great care of the kitties and I can tell she has a heart for animals. This isn’t just a gig to her, she takes our cats health and care seriously like she would her own. She gives updates and leaves the house so clean! It’s such a relief to be able to enjoy our time away knowing the most important part of our trip (cat care) is handled and in good hands!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, starting with my own family’s dogs, which have ranged from small breeds to large, all with their own unique needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience looking after a variety of pets, including a turtle we’ve had for over 25 years, as well as gerbils and rats, so I’m comfortable meeting the needs of different types of animals. I’ve also spent years dog-sitting for my sister’s pitbull and my cousin’s French bulldogs, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention and care, I’m confident I can provide a safe and reliable environment. I currently have a very open schedule. I volunteer part-time at a lab at Temple University, but aside from that, I am free to care for your pets anytime! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get the appropriate amount of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their individual needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and energy level, whether that means active walks or a calmer, more relaxed environment. I also keep the home tidy, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“We are so thankful to have found Dawn on Rover! She took such wonderful care of our rescue shepherd mix, Dakota. We had a last minute cancellation a few days prior to our trip, and luckily Dawn was available and willing to work with our schedules to arrange a meet and greet prior to the house sit. It’s clear from Dawn’s background that she is very knowledgeable in caring for animals. Dakota felt at ease with her right away, and therefore we did too! Dawn made what could have been a stressful situation feel very smooth. We received daily updates of a very happy pup! We returned to a well looked after dog and home. We strongly recommend hiring Dawn, and we definitely plan to reach out to her again for future trips.”

“Angelica is amazing! Our two pups and lizards where taken care of very well. I highly recommend Angelica, she sent me lots of updates and pictures of babies. She also left the house clean and tidy. thank you so much for everything.”

Dawn was absolutely fabulous! She took great care of our dog, Marshall, and sent updates and pictures daily. In each picture he looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He even went looking for her after she left which tells me that he enjoyed his time with her! She was very respectful of our house which was also appreciated. 10/10 experience- we hope to have Dawn dog and house sit again!

Jenna was so kind and considerate when taking care of our elderly kitties. She sent pics and videos so we knew they were eating and getting some love while we were away. She is intuitive regarding some particular needs (a little dementia means one kitty forgets to keep eating). What a comfort to know our guys are in great hands with her! Thank you so much, Jenna!
Joelle is the best! She takes great care of the kitties and I can tell she has a heart for animals. This isn’t just a gig to her, she takes our cats health and care seriously like she would her own. She gives updates and leaves the house so clean! It’s such a relief to be able to enjoy our time away knowing the most important part of our trip (cat care) is handled and in good hands!

Our pets loved Kate! She was so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. Both our dog & cat are older and Kate was comfortable caring for them. We had regular updates and pictures from her and she was sure to make sure we were all on the same page. It was such a relief feeling confident that our pets and home were in good hands while we were away! We would absolutely love to have Kate stay again and would highly recommend her!
