“Christine was excellent! Stayed in touch, sent pics, asked all the right questions to take care of our spoiled boy! Clearly a dog lover; we won’t hesitate to use her again! Thanks a million and come visit!”
“My dog was cared for so well during her first visit. Tim was so nice and sent pictures. His dog Maui was so gentle and I am sure never bothers the dogs they are caring for.”
“Olivia was excellent and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a pet sitter. She took great care of both my cats and I felt extremely comfortable leaving them with her. She provided updates and pictures everyday and I can’t think of leaving my cats with anyone else if go for another vacation! :)”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“Was thrilled to have Stephanie watch Clowe! I always got updates on how she was doing, and plenty of pictures! Next time I need somebody to watch my pup, Stephanie will be the first person I’m calling. Thanks!!!”
“If I could give Jessica six stars I would! She was super kind and accommodating from the very first interaction. I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to take the time to talk to me and get to know my dog. She sent many updates with pictures, which was comforting being that it was the first time my dog was away from home overnight. She answered all my questions and was easily reachable. I would highly recommend her pet sitting services.”
“Cartier did an excellent job for Sterling's 1st stay with her. He loves her. He was so happy to the point he was doing zoomies. I received picture updates every day. 10/10....Would highly recommend.”
“It was a pleasure to trust Haley with our puppy! It was the first time leaving him with someone else, and she made the whole experience great! I highly recommend her, and definitely will use her help in the future!”
“Yuiko is the best! We just returned from a 12-day trip. During our time away Yuiko looked after our 26lb 1.5 year old terrier-mix Bailey. This was Bailey's third and by far the longest stay with Yuiko and her family. Bailey was a member of Yuiko's family during his stay. He made lots of friends. He was superbly cared for. Yuiko kept us abreast with multiple daily photos of Bailey. And she gave us a detailed update when we went to pick Bailey up at the end of our stay. I highly recommend Yuiko.”
“Eric and his wife are absolutely fantastic with my cat. They've taken the best care of him as well as helping him get over his fear of strangers. He always comes back well groomed and happy!”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Barb, a lifelong animal lover who’s happiest when surrounded by wagging tails and purring cats! I’ve been part of the Rover community since 2018 and have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities over the years. Animals are truly my passion, which is why I now work with them full-time through pet care and grooming. I’m currently a part-time groomer at Petco, which has given me even more hands-on experience with animal behavior, handling, and making pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers — honestly, if it were up to him, we’d probably have 10+ dogs and cats by now! 🐶🐱 Our shared love for animals fills our home with warmth, laughter, and plenty of fur (the best kind!). We live in Glenolden, where we offer a safe, loving, and playful environment for pets to feel right at home. Our house has a fully fenced yard where pups can safely run, play, and enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time. We also share our home with our two rescue babies — Oliver and Tazzie — who have taught us so much about patience, love, and understanding every pet’s unique personality. Because of them, I have a special soft spot for anxious, timid, and rescue pets who may need extra reassurance and care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or just loves extra cuddles, I treat every animal like family. My goal is always to provide a stress-free experience filled with love, attention, playtime, and peace of mind for you while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration and caring for multiple types of animals, including cats and small pets. Your pet will always be in caring and capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 Pet care is part of my everyday life! I plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for. Always ask me and I will reply as soon as possible! I specialize in providing trustworthy and attentive pet care in the comfort of your homes since 2018. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring hands. I like to focus on maintaining routine and comfort for each pet, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I understand the value of a clean space and make it my mission to leave your home exactly as I found it. My extensive experience in house sitting/boarding has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation with professionalism and care, ensuring that both pets and homes are well looked after. Your trust is paramount, and I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations every time.
“George watched our dog over Thanksgiving. He was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. He sent us pictures of her during having a great time. He took her on lots of walks and she seemed well cared for. When we picked her up she was so happy and pumped in a way she typically only is after she has had lots of fun. Will definitely use again and would recommend!”
“This was the 2nd time we had our dog Kai stay with Tony, who took such good care of him and took pics and videos throughout the week, which is always awesome! He looked like he had so much fun”
“Christin was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout the say with how he was doing and you could tell how much she enjoyed being with him even with some of his quirks!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“As a first time Rover user, Chris is an asset to the company. He accepted Theo as a boarding guests for two nights. Chris was extremely generous with his time ahead of our booking in a meet-and-greet and walk. He is knowledgeable, personable, giving, and very loving to animals. The updates were encouraging and plentiful (even without my asking). Chris cared for my best friend as my own, and made this whole experience great. As I warned him at pickup, he is now part of our family. Thank you Rover... and HUGE THANKS to Chris for making this company/service/experience incredible.”
“Liam was extraordinary with my cat! He was an excellent communicator, gave me regular updates, followed all the necessary instructions (ie: diet, water, and also the antibiotic medications she needed to take). He was also really accommodating to my schedule for the pickup & drop off, which was really helpful during this current weather! I would highly recommend Liam to anyone needing to leave their beloved pet in great hands! Thanks Liam!”
Springfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Barbara was such an amazing host to our puppy Astra! She sent over plenty of pictures and a wonderful video of our pup playing with her dogs. Astra had a great time and came home absolutely exhausted which is a rare sight. Looking forward to booking with her again!
Juliana was wonderful with our baby boy! She gave great pre-boarding communications to us and during boarding, she sent us notes and photo updates. She let us know how he was doing, how he was feeling, and what fun happened each day. She took him on walks and he got plenty of love and play each. He loved Juliana's fenced yard and ability to spend time with other dogs and ate well while he was there. By the time we picked him up after 9 days, he was clearly at home with Juliana and her pups. Juliana was a loving and caring host who cared for our boy like he was her own. We truly appreciate all she did for him and us! She really treated him like we hoped someone would while boarding, and we will definitely work with Juliana for future boarding. Thank you!
Jennifer is the best dog sitter, we love bringing my dog Nico with her. I know he is going to be cared for when we drop him off and she provides excellent communication and picture updates. Nico is happy to see her always - she is a gem among dog sitters we are so greatful to have found her!
We couldn't be happier with Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Stella, for a weekend stay. We received several updates and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Stella tends to have separation anxiety but immediately settled in with Rachel and came home calm, happy, healthy, and tired from all the playtime. We'll definitely book again!
Jessica was absolutely amazing with Louie! She was kind, sweet, patient, and took great care of him throughout his stay. She also allowed us to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable leaving Louie in her care. What stood out most was how compassionate and understanding she was when we received unfortunate news during our trip. She truly went above and beyond during a very difficult time, and we appreciated her kindness so much. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would gladly book with her again!
I felt very comfortable leaving Bella with Alexandra and her family. They were warm and welcoming to her, and I left their home feeling a sense of relief. When we returned to pick her up, she actually seemed a little sad about leaving them… Lol I highly recommend Alexandra for your boarding needs.
