“This was my first time using the Rover app for my two baby kitties Bodhi and Gigi! Jen came over before my departure for a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable as soon as I met her. She did so great with communicating and keeping me updated with how my babies were doing while I was away. She also followed my instructions so well. I will definitely keep Jennifer in mind for the future.”


“Christel gets extra gratitude for walking two crazy French bulldogs on a rainy day!! And I love seeing photos of my happy babies. Excellent service!”


“Webb was so attentive and took wonderful care of my cat son, being sure to shower him with affection and treats. Webb sent lovely updates + adorable photos to keep me at ease while I was away. Would definitely book again:)))”


“Charlie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Zelda. Meal times and check-ins were prompt and Charlie was extremely patient and willing to work out some extra details that needed to be changed at the beginning. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Charlie!!”


“Bonnie always does such a great job cat-sitting. Honestly, she goes above and beyond. I appreciate the photos and the detailed cards each visit. She’s responsive and easy to schedule with. I super appreciate that she was available for my most recent vacation!”


“Raquel was very kind anf attentive to my two kitties - fed and played with them every visit. She maintained good communication and wanted to learn about my kitties’ needs and personality”


“Amberleigh went above and beyond with our two kitties! She was so incredibly communicative, always sending helpful updates each day. I can’t even describe the peace of mind it brought me to have her looking over our boys, I think our cats might even be a little upset to see us back instead of her haha!! I would recommend Amberleigh to anyone and everyone who needs a reliable sitter!”



About: Love all animals! Experience with senior dogs, puppies and special needs dogs. Your fur baby is my family as well. I love what I do. I am a nurse besides working with animals. I love animals along with people. My work schedule is very flexible. Your pet will love me. Your baby has full access to my home. If for some reason I am boarding more then one dog from a different family I can separate animals big home.


About: I worked for Petco for a little more than four years, worked at a dog resort for over a year, and have had my Shihtzu since she was a puppy (now 14), so I am experienced working with many types of dogs. Aside from walking your dog, if needed I am willing to do basic grooming such as baths and brushing (I can also clip nails if need be, but please let me know if your dog has problems with any of that). Other than medical treatments 3 days a week, I am available days and night. The treatments are in the early morning, so it'll be fine. Your pet will stay with me in my room to relax, eat/drink, or have playtime unless we're taking walks or going to the park to play.

“Razion went above and beyond! We really appreciated the daily feedback and the photos sent each day. This assured us that Taco was being well cared-for.”


“Sean always come through for us when we are in a pinch. He ensures Marley is happy before he leaves.”


About: Back in 2010 I began working at petsmart in their petshotel. It was my dream job and I loved every minute of it. I cared for the pets during the day. Fed and bathed them. I have two dogs of my own as well as two michevious cats. I currently work at a daycare during the week so I will have the weekends available. Anytime during the day is good. Just send me a message. I live in a apartment so I cannot care for you pet here but I can come to your home. Make sure you pup has lots of fun and cuddles

About: I have worked at a dog daycare, where I had to take care of a wide variety of dogs. I have also worked in a vet care setting where I had to assist more sicker dogs, and I have also had the opportunity to take care of a big variety of pets in my household. I’m currently working one job so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available any day of the week, but on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I am available anytime after 4 PM When taking care of a pet in my clients home I make sure I know where everything is located for all of your dogs needs!

About: Hi there! I’m Heather, and I’m a cat lady. My cats have allowed me to join this app. They are used to me coming home smelling like other animals. GASP! I used to be extremely anxious when I would have to leave my cats overnight, when I traveled for work or was going on vacation. Then a few people recommended the Rover app to me, and I found an amazing cat sitter. I still miss my feline overlords when I am away now, but I don’t worry as much about how they are doing or what they are getting in to. I want to do the same for you. Go on your trip knowing that your best fur friends are in good hands! I have always had cats in my life, and I can’t imagine how dull my life would be without them. I am always looking to make new fur friends, so I would love to meet your pets. I currently have 3 cats of my own, but occasionally have more. They just seem to find me, and I never turn away an animal in need. I have also done some pet rescue work and help to maintain two feral cat colonies near my home. Have cats with medical needs? No problem! I am a registered nurse (for humans), and adopt cats who have been abandoned or surrendered because of medical issues. I believe every soul deserves love and to feel safe, despite what their medical issues might be. I have had cats with diabetes who needed insulin, kidney disease and needed sub-q IV fluids, kitty dementia, deafness, IBD, mega colon, FIV, hemophilia, and the worst of all…major catitude! I am comfortable giving medications, insulin, and whatever else your furry friend might need. I am also not afraid of “mean” kitties or “hissy” kitties. I just meet them where they are, and do my best to convince them that I just want to be friends. I am also comfortable administering medications/treatments to dogs, I just have more experience with cats. I work nightshift and have a different schedule every week, but I would (and have) go without sleep to make sure all the kitties in my care get what they need and have fun while their parents are away. I do have my own car and of course would take your cat to their veterinarian if the need ever arises.

About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.

About: I grew up with a large yellow lab and now care for my maltipoo who I have had since he was a small puppy. Dogs are my favorite animals. Since I work remotely, I’m frequently home and live with my own dog. I also tend to be in a 5 mile radius of my home. I will be sure to leave everything as I found it if doing a drop in visit or walking service. Your dog will get the attention and care he or she needs every time.

About: I’m a dog mom of one dog. I rescued her from Puerto Rico a few years ago. I’ve also assisted in transporting dogs from Puerto Rico to the states. We have an active life and enjoy hiking. I will provide fun and activities for your dog. I can come to your house or the dog comes to my house. If you feel more comfortable with just your dog at my house that can be arranged. I know how some dogs sometimes prefer to be the only pet at home. I currently work at home and available all day. I can provide the constant attention your dog will need. I have a fenced in yard. I will provide multiple walks throughout the day. I can dog sit at your house or my house. I have plenty of parks nearby for walks. There’s also hiking trails nearby. I offer dog baths for an additional fee if interested.

About: Lil dogs to big dogs or cats can't forget our fury felines. I have lots of love to give the animals I'm currently looking to get a dog. I might not have to if i enjoy taking care of your pets. I'm patient with animals and people that says alot but I'm loving and caring. That comes naturally. Right now I want to share my joy with your pets. I went to an agricultural school and gained experience caring for ferrets, sheeps, horses and cows etc. I grew up with dogs in my household and learning the responsibilities of providing for dogs. I'm comfortable with animals and I'm confident I can provide the safety and security to fit your pets temperament. I'm looking forward yay!

About: I am a Spring ‘25 graduate of Tuskegee University, obtaining my BS in Animal and Poultry Sciences. I will be continuing my education and studying to become a mixed practice veterinarian. I have taken care of pets since childhood, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and turtles. I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes, and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! Weekends are the most flexible, but I am available any time outside of my full time work schedule. My schedule may slightly vary between the weeks, but during consultation am able to share with you my schedule for the desired care period. Both indoors and outside, I will take care of your furry friend to the best of my ability, and cater to both you and your pet’s needs. I am a big picture person, and will send photos of your pet(s) often and whenever you’d like.

About: Various members of my family, not including my next door neighbor, would call on me ever since high school for their dogs. I also took care of my sisters various cats throughout the years. I'm currently looking to make some more money in my spare time and offering pet care services is one solution to that. So pet care fits pretty well into my current schedule. Depending on how long they stay, I will make sure that the animals in my care are happy, entertained, well fed, exercised, and given plenty of potty breaks.

Upper Darby dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley is amazing. She takes great care of our dog and show him extra care. Always send pictures too. This is our second time using her and we won’t want to use anyone else!!

Robyn is an amazing flexible knowledgeable conscientious sitter for our big foster dog and it’s a relief knowing she and our three cats are in such good capable hands. She goes above and beyond and communicates promptly and also takes the best pictures for our dogs adoption page. We highly recommend her.

Jourdan was super responsive and saved me on short notice! She was great with my pup, playing fetch, taking walks, and doing dinner. Thank you!

Helena was awesome! Extremely communicative especially with us anxious first-time Rover users. Definitely will be booking with her again!

Sean always come through for us when we are in a pinch. He ensures Marley is happy before he leaves.

Autumn was very nice at our meet-greet. I can see by the photos while I was away that my 2 dogs felt comfortable with her being there. Thank you.

Marci was a pleasure to work with. She was very attentive and caring towards our dog. She kept us well informed and sent many pictures. I would highly recommend her!

Destinee was amazing!! She was super flexible with setting up our meet and greet so that she could meet our dog, Maddie, and all four of my pets were well looked after, and seemed to be super happy!! One thing that really stood out to me during our meet and greet, was that Destinee said she wouldn’t do anything with Maddie that she wouldn’t do with her own dog, and that made me feel super at ease! She has amazing, open communication and sends lots of great pictures that put mine, and my fiancés, mind at ease while we were on vacation. Definitely recommend Destinee if you’re looking for a great, communicative sitter!! Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!

Razion ways does a great job with drop ins for our dog Remy! We really appreciate the help while we are away! We will continue to rebook.

Patricia was a great sitter! We loved all the photos and notes she sent and felt super at ease knowing our dogs were under her care.

Kia and kuma clicked very well. So well kuma escaped her pen to greet Kia on the second drop in 😅😅 Thank you Kia for taking Kuma last minute. Will definitely love to have you come over again

We found Leah to be very trustworthy and reliable. She is personable and was very caring towards our dog. She was excellent about communicating with us. I would definitely have Leah over again to watch Monk!

Sarah does a great job with our pups always keeping me updated and doing her job well. Will always use her again without a doubt.

My Gideon loves his drop-ins from Kevin, and I love Kevin’s attention to detail and willingness to ask questions for clarification. Definitely 5 Star pet sitting.

Laurie took excellent care of our senior, disabled labrador! She was punctual, polite, and sent videos during her drop-in visits each day so that we knew our favorite furball was taken care of and pampered. Highly recommend!
We were so happy to have Linda stop by for drop-ins for our dogs Sunny and Carmy. Linda is very experienced and knows exactly how to handle our dogs with care and professionalism. We always feel confident leaving them in her hands and they love spending time with her. Highly recommend!
