“Superstar dog sitter!! Kirsten is professional while being very friendly and reliable. She went above and beyond to take care of my two dogs and my home. She also administered dog meds and sent tons of pictures. My dogs can’t wait for me to take another vacation so they get to spend more time with Kirsten!”
“Tara is an excellent pet sitter! We’re so happy we trusted her with our dog and cat over 4th of July weekend. She played with them and sent detailed updates. Upon return, our fur babies were happy and well taken care of.”
“Dan continues to be great with our big dog Samson. Sad to be leaving NY, if for no other reason than to lose access to him! Thanks for everything, Dan.”
“Syd made a point of spending time with me and Pepper to get to know them first. They were on time and kept in touch with me while I was away. Everything was as I left it upon my return. Pepper was happy and Syd was so gracious. Will ask Syd to care for my home and my girl again!”
“Jessica is so amazing. She was fabulous before and throughout the stay keeping us informed. She was totally organized & professional. And when we got stuck in a hurricane and couldn’t get home, she handled everything and made my life simple by ensuring my dog was well taken care of for TWO extra days.”
“Maia was amazing from start to finish! She accommodated a last-minute booking and was an absolute dream dog sitter! She took great care of both our giant pup and our home. We were nervous after 5 years of not using a sitter, but I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable she made us feel!”
“Hannah did great taking care of our large mastiff, Tink, who can be a bit energetic and stubborn. When we returned home from our trip, Tink seemed very relaxed and happy. Hannah had a great calmness to her, that is perfect for our shy-at-first dog.”

“Allayna was detail oriented, fantastic and sensitive to both of our dogs needs. We have two large and very rambunctious pups and she was able to work well with both of their unique schedules and unique personalities. Cannot recommend her enough. She is communicative and problem solving when issues arise. Allayna gave us such peace of mind while we were away for a week and we cannot wait to hire her again.”

“Mary was absolutely amazing and took really good care of my Furbaby. This was our first experience with house sitting, using someone who wasn't a family member. However, from the first video chat, we knew that Mary was the best person for the job. She has such a sweet and calming demeanor, which helped to ease all of our nervousness. Mary sent us daily updates and pictures, which showed how happy and at ease my dog was. Mary went above and beyond and we are forever grateful to her. Mary is officially a part of our family and we will definitely be using her for all of our future trips.”

Upper Darby pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rozz is absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. There are the basics you hope for: punctuality, sweetness with your dog, good communication, attention to detail etc, but Rozz went well above and beyond that, dealing with a dog emergency with clarity, kindness, and an assured thoroughness that truly allowed us to trust that our dog was in very capable hands. Excellent communication throughout our 5 days away, flexibility in scheduling, a positive approach even when obstacles presented, and generally just an incredibly lovely person. Rozz left the house clean and cared for as well. We look forward to many more Nomi sits with Rozz!! Highly recommend!
Maia was amazing from start to finish! She accommodated a last-minute booking and was an absolute dream dog sitter! She took great care of both our giant pup and our home. We were nervous after 5 years of not using a sitter, but I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable she made us feel!
Our experience with Robyn was all I could ever hope for in a pet sitter and more! She is communicative, enthusiastic, kind, caring, and responsible. We got so many beautiful photos of our dog, Teddy, looking so happy and well cared for while we were away, along with very frequent updates on what they were doing and what was planned for later in the day. Robyn had so many fun activities planned for Teddy, I don't think he even realized we were gone, he was so busy and having such a great time! I felt at ease from the moment I met Robyn, and I did not worry once while Teddy was in her care. There is literally not one thing she could have done better. She went above and beyond to make our Teddy feel loved and spoiled. We are so grateful to have found Robyn and plan to book many future services with her in the future!
Clement stayed in our house with our dogs for over two weeks. He was an absolute godsend. During that time, our basement flooded and he was kind enough to make sure none of our property got damaged, cleaned up the mess, AND to talk to our contractors. He sent multiple photos a day of our dogs, making sure we never got too homesick. When the engagement was done, Clement left the house incredibly clean, and our dogs whimpered as he walked away. If that's not an endorsement from our pups, I don't know what is!
