“We had a last minute booking with Joseph for a funeral that was out of town for us. From the beginning, Joseph was super accommodating and sent videos and pictures throughout his whole stay. Onyx had the time of his life. He was sleep within 5 minutes of us driving home. We will ABSOLUTELY book again with Joseph next time we’re in Philly.”


“Christie and Drew are amazing and came so clutch for us when we were stuck in a bind last minute. Now I have a safe place to take my little boy next time we’re out of town!”


“This was the first time taking my dog to another house to stay for a few hours. He’s a recent rescue and I was so nervous! Tracey met us for a meet and greet the day before hand. She sent photos and got my anxious little guy onto the couch before we came to pick him up. She met us outside as we pulled into the driveway.. Tracey has a calm presence and it was very helpful!”


“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”


“Sarah was an amazing sitter! Took great care of our dog. Our buddy had so much fun playing with her dog. Kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Shared some her food with our boy and super accommodating when we were running late to pick him up. Definitely recommend and gladly have her watch our pup again.”


“Daniel was incredible! He kept in contact all day. I had no worries about our anxious little guy at all. We were so impressed. He dog Waldo is such a sweetheart too. We will 100% use his services again.”


“Klaire was great with our puppy Penny! We appreciated good communication ahead and throughout the day. Penny was totally comfortable and happy ☺️ 10/10 would recommend Klaire!!”


“Quynh made our first rover experience so easy! Quick to respond and accommodated our early drop off time. It was our puppy’s first time alone with someone new and she loved it! Quynh made sure Britney got enough exercise and rest and we’re soo grateful! Will definitely be booking her again!”

“Mumbo had a great time with Kaylah! Kaylah was excellent about sending updates and coordinating times to meet. She even reached out during the stay when she noticed Mumbo was having a little issue with his leg (a problem he does have occasionally). The leg issue turned out fine but it was great to know Kaylah was paying such close attention to him. We felt very comfortable knowing Mumbo was in such a loving home!”

“Beth was available and flexible when I found myself in a pinch and needing just one day of care for my pup. Her family took good care of my pooch and gave him lots of cuddles, which I know he enjoyed.”


“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”


About: I've been raising and training dogs since I was 12. We even had 7 dogs in the family for a period of time many years ago. It started with a Yorkie that my older brother gave me, 2 Rottweilers, a Chihuahua, 2 Jack Russells, then 4 more Jack Russells, a Shih Tzu, another Rottweiler, and then 2 Cane Corsos. I'm good with the ones that require more patience. Pitbulls are a joy to work with and now I have some experience with a German Shepherd! Weekdays are most flexible for me. I can usually be there within an hour of being requested in and around Philly for walks and runs. More recently, I fostered lizards, and a bird in my home and care for them as my own while under my care. The last Chihuahua that stayed with me for 2 days really didn't want to leave when her owner came for pickup.

Summerdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using this type of service. Kareema was amazing. My dog (Biko) always came home happy and tired. She always gave me updates on how his day was going with pictures. I would bring my dog to her every time.

We were in Philly for a day and needed somewhere safe for our active dog, Nathan, to get some energy out. Joseph took excellent care of Nathan - taking him to the park to chase balls. He was tired and happy when I picked him up and I got plenty of photos and videos throughout the day!

Cookie spent an amazing time with Katherine ! Katherine was welcoming and took great care of our little fur baby ! Hopefully we will come back to her if we ever need help for Cookie !

Thank you so much for taking such a good care of our 4 babies, we couldn’t be happier , you are the perfect sitter. Thanks
