“Avery was amazing with my boy! He is extremely needy for a cat and Avery tuckered him out with lots of play time, gave him some cuddles, and gave him lunch! She was extremely communicative about what they were up to. I will be booking with her again and will recommend her to friends!”

About: Hi! My name is Kylie, and I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for over 10 years. I absolutely love spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes—whether it’s taking them on long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing together for some well-earned cuddle time. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. With a strong focus on exercise, affection, and routine, I aim to keep your pup happy and comfortable in their home away from home I am a teacher during the school year with my summers off! Summer hours are very open to provide your pups with the most love! Whichever you prefer! From walking your fur babies to bringing them inside safely and crating them! Willing to be super flexible and make your life easier.
“Our first time using Talia and she did a wonderful job caring for our Golden! We will definitely use her again. She was very reliable and our Sadie was well cared for while we were away!”
About: Reliable, fun, and experienced pet sitter with a deep love for both dogs and cats. A Philadelphia native, I grew up in Chestnut Hill and attended the University of Pennsylvania. Born into a family of animal lovers, I spent my childhood taking care of numerous dogs, cats, parakeets, fish, and lizards. I'm skilled in handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments, with a strong understanding of canine behavior, basic training techniques, and health needs. I have a calm nature and pets usually warm to me quickly. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medications, I'm committed to maintaining a stress-free environment. I'm trusted by pet parents for consistent communication, dependability, and respect for their furry family members. I also get rave reviews for my pet photos! All the pictures posted on my profile were taken in the last few months. I recently decided to take a break from the corporate world to focus on what I love most: Dogs and the great outdoors! I'm looking to walk dogs during the week with some weekends depending on my schedule. I'm also available for cat and dog vacation visits during the week and holidays. I like to take my dogs out for multiple walks daily. I'm a big hiker and will make sure your pooch gets a great workout! With less active dogs, playtime is focused at home with short walks around the neighborhood. I also grew up with cats and understand the importance of play and mental stimulation.
“Honestly, one of the easiest and luckiest experiences I’ve ever had doing something for the first time. I’ve never used rover and was quite apprehensive about it, but Daphne made it so simple and easy for us! Was very transparent and communication was superb! Would highly recommend choosing Daphne for any pet service and will definitely be utilizing her again in the future! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have always had pets in my house. Right now I currently have three dogs and 10 hermit crabs. Over the years I’ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, and the occasional hamster. My oldest dog is 10 years old and she’s a lab pitbull mix. My middle dog is seven years old and she’s a CavJack .But don’t let that fool you, she’s all Jack Russell. And the baby in the family is about to turn five and he’s an English bulldog Boston terrier mix and he is the true baby of the family. He is spoiled rotten. I have also done pet sitting in my neighborhood and have even given insulin to my neighbor’s cat. I would love to share my love of animals and walk or play with your dog on the weekend or help care for your cats. I look forward to loving on your furbabies! I am currently working full-time, but I would love to spend time on my weekends helping out and spending time with others who need assistance with their animals. Because of my three dogs, I am unable to care for your animals in my home however, I have no problem coming to you. I love meeting new furry friends.
“Alexandra was wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease while she watched my cat! My cat also loved her and I loved the detailed notes and pictures Alexandra provided! She was super attentive and overall an amazing sitter! Would defintely recommend and I hope to use her again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs and taken care of them my entire life. I have had cats for over 10 years. I currently have a dog and a cat who I love dearly. I currently take care of my friends dogs and cats while they are on vacation or have to work late. I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I’m available to care for and play with your pet most days and nights during the week and weekends. I can come to your home and take care of your pet in a safe environment that your pet feels comfortable in when you are away.
“Giorgia is amazing. Our dog Winnie loves when she takes her on walks and plays with her. She send pictures of the visit and is very responsive. She’s also very reliable ! So grateful for her and all the help she gives us with Winnie !”
About: I love dogs and cats, I work during the day so I'm probably more suited to cat care right now (see schedule). I'll be sure to make extra time to play and chat with your pet whenever we're together. I work during the day so I'm available to drop in early (pre-8am) and I'm the evenings (after 5:30). I have more flexibility on the weekends. Pets are already stressed when their families are away, having a stranger come in can add to that so my first priority will be becoming a friend to them by spending time together playing and giving scratches.
About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pups—big and small, young and old—and caring for them quickly became second nature. From daily walks and training to belly rubs and senior care, I’ve been hands-on with every stage of a dog’s life. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, build trust with shy or anxious pups, and provide the kind of attention and love that makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers slow strolls and snuggles, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs. My dogs are my babies—and I’d be honored to care for yours like one of my own. I currently work full-time in the area. I can be available for a quick morning and/or mid-day check in within my radius, and free to stay with your babies after 5pm. Safety, Trust & Comfort First—Always Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where safety comes first—no loose wires, no unsafe spaces, and always supervised play and rest time. I am always learning about pet safety for my home and will continue learning! In your home, I follow your routines closely to help your pet feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I respect your space and keep it tidy, making sure your pet’s needs—like walks, feeding, medications, and cuddle time—are handled with care and attention to detail. In my home, pets enjoy a peaceful environment with plenty of cozy spots to relax, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I never take more pets than I can safely and comfortably care for, so your fur baby always gets my full focus. Trust is everything, and I’m committed to building it with both you and your pet through consistency, communication, and lots of love.
About: Other than having treated every injury possible over my 40 years experience, I have taken multiple courses in handling the care of dogs, including medications, shots and emergency care. I am currently retired for my full time work so I have plenty of availability., 24 hours 365 days except when I am with my grand kids. So my philosophy is that there has to be time spent socializing with dogs in addition to walking and feeding. Playing and bounding has to be a priority as well. Mutual trust and respect has to be earned by both, the handler and the dog to have a happy dog even if his/her family is away.

Kylie N.
“Kylie is a total rockstar! She watched my dog, Bailey, overnight and honestly, I think Bailey misses her already. I’m super high maintenance (me, not the dog—well, maybe both of us), and Bailey is basically my prized possession, so trusting someone to take care of her is a big deal. But Kylie totally nailed it! She sent me cute photo updates, followed all my detailed instructions (and believe me there was a lot), and bonded with Bailey like they’d known each other forever. From now on, she’s the only one I’ll call when my pup needs a sitter. Five stars, two paws up, and all the tail wags! Thanks Kylie!”

My energetic black lab instantly bonded with her, and I feel completely at ease knowing she is in such great hands. Julia is incredibly reliable, kind, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy, exercised, and feels safe. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just hanging on the couch, Julia treats my dog like her own. I am so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and dependable. Plus she takes amazing photos of my dog. Highly recommend!”

Nicolas B.
“Nick has been our dog trainer and dog sitter for two years. He is always on time and takes care of our dog. Our dog loves us, but when he sees Nick he goes right to him and jumps in the car and loves to be with him. We went away for 24 days and Nick took care of our dog and sent us pictures of him and the dog at his favorite dog park. Nick walks our dog 4 times a day. Nick is always a gentleman and he is part of our dog family. He is taking care of our dog this weekend and when we go away. I highly recommend him to Rover and to any pet person.”

“Ashley took great care of my pup! She was communicative, kind, and very reliable. I’d definitely book her again!”
Strafford pet parents share their Rover experiences
Fantastic experience with Lindsay! She provided detailed updates with photos during check in, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was prompt and thorough, answering all our questions. We highly recommend Lindsay - she's reliable, caring, and our cat loved her!!

Aaren was a fantastic pet sitter for my two kitties while I was away for a week! She was very receptive to my cats particular lifestyles and followed special instructions perfectly. She is extremely attentive and caring and gave lots of love/attention, even my skittish shy kitty warmed up to her within a day! She also shot so many great photos which really gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Aaren, she will be the first person I reach out to when I need pet sitting services again :)

Sara was a wonderful and warm cat sitter while we were away for 6 days! We could tell from the updates and photos that Sara sent that our kitty really warmed up to her and looked forward to her visit each day. Sara was reliable and responsive to us and to our kitty's needs, We would book Sara for future cat sitting for sure.
