“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”
“John did a great job looking after our dog, Bob, during his 6-night stay. It was Bob's longest time away from us, and he was a bit anxious, but John handled it well. He kept us updated with pictures and videos every day, which was appreciated. We were happy with how Bob was cared for and would recommend John to others.”
“Wow, Noa was an amazing sitter for our little guy, sharing very thorough and thoughtful updates! She is very personable, anticipated the needs of our little one, and went above & beyond to make sure he was okay and felt comfortable! We will definitely be asking Noa back to hang with our pup in the future!! ❤️”
“Allison was great. She was super communicative and took great care of sweet girl. We got lots of photos and consistent updates. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Quanece & Malik were available last minute when I needed someone to watch my dog for a few hours. They were responsive, followed all my directions, and sent updates throughout the day. I’ve booked with them a few times, and I would definitely do it again.”
“Areana continues to be our energetic dog's best friend. She goes above and beyond each time she visits. We know she will keep us in the loop and checking our phones for cute pictures. Thanks again!!”
“Kirsten stayed at our house and watched our high energy English Pointer for a long weekend and she was fantastic! She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Our pup was happy and tired when we got home. Our dog can be difficult with all her energy but Kirsten was able to handle her well. She was also an amazing house guest. We will definitely be hiring Kirsten again for future trips.”
“I would highly recommend Katheryn! She took incredible care of my pitbull Socks and was very patient with her various eccentricities/needs. Plus she was extremely communicative and sent lots of wonderful pictures.”
“Booked Isabella for a last minute trip and she took great care of my 13 year old dog and left my home just as she found it. I loved that she sent lots of pictures and videos keeping me up to date..highly recommend!”

About: We’ve spent the last 16 years pet sitting in New York before making the move to Philadelphia, and we’re excited to meet more furry (or fluffy) friends here. From energetic dogs and laid-back cats to the occasional adventurous rabbit, we’ve love them all. We treat every pet like part of our own family—because that’s exactly how it should be. Freelancing and working from home gives us complete flexibility. Sarah and I can cover the schedule with ease! Your pets are our priority. Give us a try!! When we care for pets in your home, we treat it like our own—tidy, respectful, and welcoming. We take the time to get to know your pets’ routines and personalities, so they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just good company, we’re there to keep them feeling loved and secure. You can trust that we’ll leave your home just the way you left it—and your pets looking forward to our next visit.
“Amber was amazing from our first messages to when we got back home. She took excellent care of our sweet dog, took him on at least two walks per day, played with him and provided lots of photos and updates every evening. Our house was in even better condition than we left it. Communication was easy and prompt. I want to take more short trips now that we have a trusted dog sitter. I highly recommend Amber.”
About: I’ve been my neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter since middle school. When my next door neighbor was recommending me to a friend, she said my ability to make her reactive dog feel comfortable was “like a Disney princess”. I’m a student on break for the summer, working an internship that gives me plenty of flexibility to get around and help out at all sorts of odd hours. Gentle but firm, love to have fun but I prioritize keeping the peace. I trust you know your pets better than I do, and your advice and guidance goes above all else.
About: I have grown up around dogs all of my life and love them. I will provide love and care for all! I have experience with a wide range of dogs. My mom has had 2 poodles and an airedale. My dad owns a Great Dane and so does my sister. I enjoy taking them to dog parks or on long walks! It’s not only enjoyable for me but also allows me to get some exercise. I work from home a few days of the week so I have availability during the week and especially weekends. I work from home 2-3 times a week and usually have availability on weekends unless I am traveling. Days that I work from home are usually Monday, Wednesday and sometimes Fridays. Schedule is subject to change depending on meetings in office. I live in a one bedroom one bathroom condo unit. We do not have fence around the property but your pet will be safe and will have much opportunities for dog parks and walks.
“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”
“Chelsea was communicative, punctual, polite. We felt good leaving Grub in her care - he made a fast friend!”
“Super communicative, very nice, and caring of my little baby girl cat! I super appreciate August for stepping up on what was a last minute emergency. Thank you!”
“Y’all. YALL. I’m just saying… Sky is FANTASTIC. Soooo personable, friendly, actually took our dog on a walk, and it’s evident that she really cares. Our dog, William, warmed up to Sky SO fast. I hope everyone can book her but I also hope that y’all don’t take my Saturdays ?”
“Danielle was great! We were running out of cat food towards the end of the week and she ran out and got more. She sent pics of the dogs when we were away and they seemed to love her. She straightened up the house and all was good. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Vanessa was amazing! She arrived a few minutes early, listens to all my instructions and asked follow ups questions, and she sent a picture/status update while I was away for a few hours. I will definitely book her again.”

Strawberry Mansion pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison took excellent care of both our dogs and our home while we were away! Our dogs have some specific food and medication needs, and she was more than willing to accommodate them. She was also extremely communicative and sent lots of great pictures. We have had good experiences with Rover in general, but have never felt as comfortable leaving our dogs with someone as we did with Madison. Strongly recommend her and will definitely be asking her to watch our pups in the future!
Ceara took great care of our dog and home while on a last minute trip. She was patient and attentive to our elderly pup. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.
Johanna did such a nice job caring for our pup while we were out of town. Very trustworthy and easy to work with! Will definitely book again :-)
Eneida is the absolute greatest!! Second time using her to watch our pup and hope to again in the future!
Ari is great as always! She gives detailed daily updates and sends lots of pictures. I can always tell my dog is happy and well cared for with Ari.
Allison is always fantastic! Domino was well taken care of and I received plenty of updates and photos. 5 stars!
Ashley house set for me to keep company to my cat, Zelda. She sent me updates with pictures once a day, and during my trip I had a peace of mind knowing that Zelda is in good hands. I came back home to a relaxed and happy cat. Ashley was also very respectful to my home and left it tidy. Thank you, Ashley!
Lora was great. It was a short notice booking but she was accommodating with arranging a meet and greet before my trip away. I got pics of Lori and Darla in the yard playing, doing training and also of Darla waking Lora up in the morning 😂 Lora very kindly watered the plants and flowers in the backyard while she was at my house. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use Lora again.
Stu did an incredible job for us. It was out first time using Rover so we were a bit hesitant but Stu helped us feel comfortable and at ease that our pups were in good hands and would be taken care of. We would happily use, and recommend Stu for any pet sitting needs we have in the future.
Wonderful dog sitter! Katheryn took great care of our baby with outstanding updates. We will definitely use Katheryn again the next time we go out of town. Don’t hesitate to book her for your dog!
Lauren was a lifesaver! My wife went into labor early and all of our plans with the previous sitter fell apart. Luckily Lauren was available to watch our two dogs. She was reliable and responsive and was able to adjust to the situation and all of my random disjointed messages I sent as we made our way to the hospital. Definitely would book her again and cannot recommend her enough!
Brittany was great with Crumbcake and we appreciate her care of our home. She was very responsive and easy to work with.
Sammy has the be the best sitter we have ever had! Sammy was extremely great with my animals. I can't even explain going above and beyond without saying Sammy. Sammy made sure check-ins and medicine was given on time. My animals seemed super happy when we returned from vacation. I highly recommend Sammy! We want him to return again and again! Folks this guy is truly amazing!!A must book! He's sweet and kind the dogs seemed to love him!
Oliver was so great with my dog Winnie! Asked great questions when we did our meet & greet that made me feel very reassured about leaving Winnie in his care. He was really attentive to Winnie and her needs while I was gone, going above and beyond to accommodate her stubborn tendencies 😊 (including hand feeding and sitting with her to make sure she ate). He also sent regular updates and left my apartment in great shape, which always makes coming home from a trip much easier!
Mile is excellent with updating and sending photos, our cat really likes her, and she always leaves the space as neat or neater than before. She goes above and beyond and we appreciate it!
Rajat came through when our friend canceled on us last minute. He was wonderful. Made time to come out and meet the dogs quickly and was very communicative about his arrival and what was happening with our dogs once he got in. He took great care of our pups and our house. We would highly recommend Raj and definitely ask him to dog sit again!
Sabrina did a lovely job with my two cats. Strong communicator and they loved her. Highly recommend!
It was my first time leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time since adopting. Karina was great! She did everything that was asked, was very responsive, provided photos with every visit, and went above and beyond to return my keys when my flight got in very late ❤️
