1. Karen A.

“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”


2. Shera M.

“Shera was absolutely fantastic! She communicated with us, sent us photos and updates each day, which really put our minds at ease. Our dog Oliver was well taken care of. We highly recommend Shera and would definitely book her again!”


3. Cassie H.

“Cassie is awesome! My dog loves her, and she clearly enjoys being around animals. She is great at communicating and updating us. We will definitely be using her for a long time!”


4. Jada P.

“Jada is the only person I trust to watch my pup. I was very nervous to leave him home as a 13 week old puppy; but I felt so much better knowing that Jada was taking care of him. She was very responsive to all of my requests and communicated with me throughout their walk. I could not recommend more!”




5. Katie G.

“Katie was awesome! She came over to meet my dog beforehand and he had three walks with her. I loved her detailed “report card” and getting cute photos of my dog. I feel super comfortable with her taking care of my dog and will be asking for her help again in the near future.”


6. Judy F.
“I hired Judy to look after my very skittish cat. Judy is an excellent pet sitter, trustworthy, friendly and professional. She sent me pictures of Luna each time she visited. Judy is extremely knowledgeable and caring. Knowing she was looking after my cat gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will hire her for all my pet sitting needs.”


7. Natalie H.
“Natalie is so great with animals! She is super responsible and genuinely loves spending time with them. I would trust her with my pets any day!”


8. Serena G.

“Serena was absolutely wonderful. She was excellent with my dogs, followed instructions, and was very communicative. I’m grateful for her help and will absolutely rebook her in the future.”


9. Jenna H.

“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”


10. Alejandro & Mariana D.
“Alejandro took care of my dog, Atenea, who is missing one of her hind legs and my cat, Alfonsina, while I was out of town for some vacations. He sent me pictures every day and would let me video call them every night, he kept them well fed, play with them whenever they wanted to and even took Atenea out for walks. He always answered my messages and would gave me daily updates on how they were doing. I will always be thankful for what he did to me and my pets, as they absolutely loved him as well!”


11. Kelsey I.

“Kelsey is awesome. I have a super needy guy and she did wonderfully with him.”


12. Samuel D.
“Sam is a fantastic pet owner, and Sporks is such a sweet dog! She is a perfect hiking companion, is very friendly to other dogs, and super gentle with people. Sporks knows her name, how to sit, stay, and heel, and listens when commanded. Highly recommend working with this pair!”


13. Katelyn Y.
“K was the best dog sitter!! My Anna can be a handful, but she was so great with her I don’t think she missed me at all!! K was the most thoughtful and sent me collages of all the fun they were having everyday. It was evident that she cared so much for Anna and wanted her to be as comfortable as possible while mom was away! I cant recommend her highly enough!”


14. Amber L.
“My fur baby, Danny, has been spoiled by Amber while staying in her care. She loves dogs and they love her back, just as much. From cuddles to treats, she makes dogs feel safe and welcome in her home.”


15. Steven I.
About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.


16. Kara R.

“Always on time and pup is happy after the walks. Thanks!”


17. Ashley M.
“Ashley is the epitome of a dog mom! She cares very deeply about the well being of doggos and would take excellent care of your pet. I trust her with mine- and I know it’s not a responsibility she takes lightly.”


18. Eric D.

“So happy we found Eric on Rover. Our dog is a nervous boy who likes a safe distance between other dogs and Eric handles him calmly and confidently. We will continue using Eric as our go-to for dog walks and sitting, etc.”


19. Kerri B.
About: I work from home with flexible hours and am available on short notice. I have experience with dogs of all ages. I'm happy to walk or run with your pup! I am available any time during the day on weekdays. Working from home allows me flexibility to attend to your pup and spend time playing or going on long walks. Pet parents are free to leave specific requests for their pets. I strive to keep pets happy and healthy while their parents are out. I’ll do anything necessary to accommodate all needs and provide everything necessary for the fur babies.


20. Tony V.
“Tony was our dog walker + sitter for over 5 years in Philadelphia. He is absolutely the best! In all the areas of concern--responsibility, knowledge of dog handling, keeping your dog safe, being careful and courteous in your house, being flexible on timing, and being wonderfully friendly and easy to work with--for both the dog and the humans!--Tony checks all the boxes. He accommodates whether your dog loves other dogs or prefers to be a "lone wolf" to ensure your dog is never stressed and always entertained. Communication regarding arrangements and status updates is excellent. Tony is literally a professional at caring for dogs and will share both your joy and concerns for your pup!”
