“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of.

I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”

“My dog doesn't like to be away from home, but Rhea makes her feel comfortable and takes excellent care of all her needs, also during the recent heat wave. Sage was happy and in great shape when I returned after a longer trip. While I was away, Rhea kept me up-to-date on how Sage was doing, which is very helpful for peace of mind. I will always ask Rhea when I need help with dog sitting. I highly recommend her.”

I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there.

We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Donte took excellent care of 2 of my dogs for 4 days. I was a little hesitant to book someone without reviews on Rover (he’s just starting in this platform) but he was very understanding, answered all my questions and I found reviews for his training services on Google. I felt even more reassured when I dropped off my dogs and saw him engaging with them in a genuine way. Donte was great at sending updates and videos of some of the training he did. I’ll definitely come back for boarding and continue training sessions.”

“Abigail is an excellent house sitter. She is trustworthy and dependable. She took wonderful care of our two kitties, one of whom is an 18 year old senior. Abigail provided us with updates and pictures of our cats. I highly recommend Abigail as a house sitter with no hesitation.”
“I was anxious about leaving my cat for 2 weeks with a sitter that we have not used before. I am so happy and pleased that we chose Mike. Dexter was a happy cat when I returned, litter box and house was clean and orderly, like I never left! Mike also went further and took care of erroneous deliveries at my front door, disposing of rotting food and personally bringing the packages to the unit of the rightful recipient! Thank you, Mike! I hope we can be repeat customers in the future.”
“I'd 100% book Angelica again! She did a great job looking after my bunnies, and went above and beyond with tidying up after a week of visits. She was on top of communication at all times. Yay Angelica!”
About: I have always had at least one cat my whole life and since I was 10 years old, one (to several) dogs. Spending time with my dogs and husband is my favorite activity. I also have experience with guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles. I work a full-time job from home and I am able to make my own schedule, I just need some heads up to accommodate a schedule change. I love my full time job, however, it is a desk job and I am really looking to get out more and would love to enjoy some walks with your dog! I am happy to do a meet and greet so that both you and your pup can feel comfortable with me and I know all of the important details to keep them safe and happy.
“Amazing as always! Brittany is super communicative and her visits are perfectly timed, which is great for my pet separation anxiety. I'll continue to use her as long as she'll have me!”
“Briana did a great job taking care of our cats! She was very communicative, easy to work with, and my cats loved her. I would highly recommend working with Briana!”
About: I grew up with cats and absolutely adore them. I currently do not have one of my own and so caring for others will be the next best thing- and I will treat them as if they were a part of my family. I am a pediatric nurse, so I am caring, responsible, and dependable.
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“I cannot say enough positive things. Ashley provided detailed updates after each visit and it was clear she really cared for our cat, Nellie. Ashley was patient as Nellie took some time to warm up but she soon did and became very comfortable with Ashley. Ashley even helped keep our plants alive while we were out of town. Fantastic!”
“Kathy instantly bonded with Hanna, which was great because Hanna always came to her for play and petting during the drop-in visits. Kathy was responsible and caring. She is a great sitter and loves animals. I am requesting her for all of my trips. I highly recommend her! Thank you!”
“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
“Hannah is a cat whisperer! Our cat is so shy & scared of so many things. Other Petsitters rarely see her. Hannah sent us so many pictures of Minnie everyday. We were amazed! We definitely recommend Hannah & will hire her again.”
About: I’ve been a proud cat owner since I was 7, caring for cats of all ages. I feed, play with, and spoil them with love and attention. Cats energize me, and I truly believe they are the rulers of the world! I enjoy keeping them happy, safe, and pampered while their humans are away.
“Ali took great care of my cat while I was away for two weeks. She always sent pics and was able to problem solve when my cat knocked over her feeder. I was very nervous leaving my cat for the first time but felt at ease with Ali caring for her.”

“Emelie and family were a godsend as we were looking for a last-minute sitter for our beloved pup Duke. We were traveling from VA to PA for a track meet and we weren’t quite sure what to do with our 6.5 month old puppy Duke as non-service animals were not allowed in the stadium. After reaching out to a few sitters on Rover, Emilie quickly responded with her availability and was very accommodating! Duke seemed to enjoy himself, and that made us feel good. If for whatever reason we happen to be traveling back to PA, we will definitely consider booking with Emilie as our pet sitter. Not only was she SUPER friendly and loving to our Duke, but she was VERY responsive!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Rhea went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt comfortable, loved, and cared for while I was away. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. It was clear my pet was in great hands and truly enjoyed their time. I highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a true cat lover with hands-on experience caring for kittens and adult cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. Whether your cat needs playtime, feeding routines, litter box cleaning, or just quiet companionship, I will care for them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. Vuelvo a mi trabajo regular en mayo de 2024 así que tengo mucho tiempo libre. Puedo pasear perritos y cuidar gatitos en mi departamento(es un apartamento tipo estudio así que considero que los perritos no estarían a gusto en un espacio de este tamaño) Cuddles and walks are 100% guaranteed ❤️ I’m very careful when taking care of pets, and I’m a calm person, so I pass that energy on to the animals as well.

About: Hi! We’re Electra and Crescent. We love travel, food and animals! 🐾 We’re lifelong pet parents who have shared our home with cats and dogs for decades. We currently live with three cats of our own (2 belonged to my late mother) Kiki the senior Russian blue, Helena the toothless full figured queen and Charles Mr. Humpty Dumpty. We genuinely love caring for animals and understand the unique needs of picky eaters, seniors, energetic and active animals or pets who prefer calm, low-stress environments. We call Charles our “special needs baby” since he is neutered but loves to hump his cat toy (Matilda) Kiki was my mom’s cat who is a senior and has IBD aside from her IBD (which we are managing) she’s a very quiet, laid back cat that likes her quality time. Helena was my mom’s cat and talk about food focused! Despite having only 2 bottom teeth this thick beauty don’t let that stop her! 🐾 I’m Electra and I’m available most of the day. My husband Crescent works Monday–Friday during the day (usually finished by late afternoon). This gives us excellent flexibility for pet sitting: • Boarding at our home: We can typically do pet pickups early evenings or anytime on weekends. • Drop-offs: You can bring your pet anytime. We can also do pickups for you Monday–Friday after 5 pm or anytime on weekends. Since I’m home I can provide personalized, attentive care for your furry family members. Whether it’s longer walks, extra play sessions, or simply quiet companionship for pets that get lonely, we tailor our care to what each animal needs. We board cats (up to 3) or small-medium dogs (up to 2) at a time. We have a dedicated spare bedroom that works beautifully as a cozy “cat hotel” or “doggie retreat” — complete with a litter box, cat tree, twin bed, toys and TV for background noise. Your pets get complete free-roaming access in this room with no crates. Privacy with one family at a time to ensure a calm, stress-free environment for your pet with access to ring camera for boarding stays. We’ll ensure that your cats have a freshly clean litter box daily, interaction multiple hours a day, great window view for birdwatching and followed feeding routine. Your dogs will have plenty of time outside, I’m available and can provide multiple walks and engagement throughout the day, with comfortable indoor space for relaxation and eating routines.

“Tia seemed to enjoy her stay with Shelby and Robbie! I only met Robbie outside their home when I dropped Tia off and picked her up. He was friendly and happy to take Tia for a while. They have a nice fenced in yard.”
“Bailey had a great day with his fellow doggies and Yuhan. After she was initially a bit confused and clingy with her dad she adjusted quickly. Yuhan was very responsive and texted me back promptly when I asked her how Bailey was doing. It is a busy household but it is evident that Yuhan and her family love dogs! 🐾🐾”
“This was our first time using Rover and everything went smoothly. We would definitely use Leah again. She sent texts with pics throughout the evening. We were happy to see she was able to manage Cal and integrate him into her pack. Thank you, Leah!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience, especially with large breeds, reactive dogs, and pups with special needs. I’ve worked with shelter dogs and understand how to care for animals that need a little extra patience, structure, or medical support. I currently live with a rambunctious lab and two curious cats, so I’m very used to a lively, pet-filled home. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding overnight, or just dropping by for a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have experience administering medications, including for pets with ongoing health needs, and I’m comfortable accommodating special diets or routines. I truly enjoy walking and believe it’s more than just a potty break—it’s a chance for dogs to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air and stimulation. I tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level, whether they’re a slow sniffer or an energetic explorer. I’m happy to work with most dogs and want to provide the best possible care. Just let me know about any behaviors or needs in advance so I can be fully prepared. I look forward to meeting your furry family and making them feel right at home! I work from home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s letting them out for frequent potty breaks, enjoying playtime in the backyard, or making sure they stick to their regular feeding and medication schedule, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. My flexible routine means your pup will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to accommodate their unique rhythms and preferences. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I treat them like part of the family. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and play, and I’m mindful of any special instructions, from medications to behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and make sure their space stays clean and safe. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence—whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“Craig is the best walker we could have found- prompt, reliable and a nice guy. Rover is very good and sends all related info all the time. Higgins Stands at the door waiting for his special walk!!”
“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”
About: I’ve had so many different animals in my life I guess you could say at this point I could care for a small zoo?! From rabbits to rats, to lizards to guinea pigs, to birds to hermit crabs to the tried and true cats and dogs I’ve truly cared for and have loved them all. And while I would now consider myself a dog person (hence the boop the snoot tagline). I do have a genuine love for all animals and now wish to share my experience, expertise, love and care with the animals that sometimes need a little extra while their “hoomans” have other things they need to address. I work freelance gigs in the small business space helping with back end business admin and marketing so I can truly make my own schedule which is ideal for cat and dog sitting gigs, no?! I currently have two rescues, a Siamese cat- Edgar Allan Poe (who goes by Poe) and a who knows what dog, (probably a lab/boxer mix, we’ve yet to order a DNA test), named Lucky. Both of my guys are super chill at this point in their lives and have no issues with other animals. With Lucky we take multiple daily walks and do have a fenced in yard, tho it is small and he begs for and prefers walks so it is rarely used as the primary source of going out. (Read that as I am used to and enjoy walks)
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me

I'm currently volunteering at the Providence Animal Shelter 3-4 times a week in the morning. I have a flexible schedule and am always looking for ways to be outside, be active, and help dogs! I have one friendly dog that I can easily crate if necessary. I also have a car for transportation if a hike or a pup cup is on the agenda! I love walking, my dog gets 3 solid walks per day!

“Perfect furry baby sitter. She was kind, friendly, and took excellent care of our Benjamin Franklin. We had no worries while we were away, because we knew he was in good hands .. Will absolutely book with Elaina again.”
“Thank you both so much!! Sam & Sam took such great care of our little weenie girl while we were gone for two+ weeks for our wedding. Great updates and great communication and totally trusted Poppy in their care! :)”
“Uklu and Andrew are the best! Our dog zuzu had such a great time with them. She was active and happy when we brought her home. We can’t thank them enough for providing for Zuzu so wonderfully!!! We will continue to have Zuzu stay there for sure!”
“Brian and his family are the best when it comes to watching our boy. Our big Golden recently developed a fear of thunderstorms and sure enough, it thundered the last two times Brian watched him. Brian and his family treated our boy like he was there own and comforted him through the storms. We are so grateful.”
“Danielle was great! We left our dog with her over the weekend, and she seemed happy when we picked her up. Danielle was kind to our pup and communicated great with us! We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Fantastic experience. Sent us emails and pictures daily, which was so so appreciated. We don’t go away often without our fur babies but next time we will definitely send them back 100%!!!”
“Christine did a great job with my nervous dog Mochi especially since this was our first time leaving Mochi with anyone. Thank you Christine for your special care of Mochi and look forward to bringing Mochi over again!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“Tamikia was great and kept me in the loop with regular updates about how Dexter was doing with videos + pics. This kept me at ease and it’s clear he had a great time! 🥺🫶🏾🐾”
“Allison and the girls took such great care of Cookie! As first time Rover users, Allison was patient with my husband and provided regular check-ins, updates and pictures! It was clear Cookie had a nice time and was much less stressed than when we typically board her. We look forward to booking again with Allison and Kevin in the future!”
“Melanie took amazing care of our two pups during their three-week stay! They both had such a wonderful time.It was obvious Heidi missed her new friend, Pippa. Melanie was also incredibly responsive and understanding with our Rex, who gets anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur babies were safe, loved, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Melanie again!”
“Rooney always has the BEST time with Chris!! He is so well cared for and exercised and loves to play with the other dogs in Chris’ care. He came back tired and happy!”
