“Yuiko was an excellent sitter. She was able to be flexible with my schedule as I was traveling out of the country. She kept me updated with pictures and information. I have an older dog, and felt in total comfort and confidence in her skills and care. I highly HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Exactly what we were hoping for our two dogs. Rebecca was great at keeping us updated and sending pictures of them. The dogs looked like they had a blast during their stay and we would definitely have Rebecca watch our dogs again and recommend her to others.”
“This is our third time Cody has stayed with Emelie, and each time is wonderful. Her communication and concern are tremendous. Cody can be ….difficult, and she handles him with sensitivity and compassion. Highly recommend! (And I hesitate to say that bec she’s getting harder and harder to book!😂)”
“Dave provided outstanding care for my French Bulldog. His frequent updates gave me complete peace of mind, and it’s clear he treats every pet with genuine love and attention. I’ll definitely book with him again without hesitation!”
“Samantha was amazing! I'm so glad I found her! She send me daily pictures of my Kennedy. I could tell Kennedy was comfortable and relaxed with her. Samantha was professional and attentive to Kennedy. She was communicative before and during Kennedy's stay, which I very much appreciated. I highly recommend Samantha and I will be using her again!”
About: I’m a dog mom of two - that don’t like other dogs/kids, so I have experience with challenging walks. They live with their grandparents for now, so I have a lots of love, and care to give :) I work pm (3-11:30pm) shifts in center city with random days off, so I’m mostly available in mornings/overnights or certain full days when I have off. My apartment complex has a great green area around the building where I can walk my babies when they visit me. They are allowed on the bed/couch, but they like to sunbath on the fluffy carpet as well. They have a separate area in the dining room so they have space to eat peacefully. My little one also likes to hide with his treats, especially under the bed or table:) I make sure they get enough walks, even when their stomach is bad in the middle of the night. I also like to take them to the Wissahickon park, they love car rides. I would make sure other babies feel comfortable just like mines / or to create a safe and comfortable environment with lots of attention.
“Jennifer and her family took awesome care of our puppy (a 3 month old Dachshund). It is apparent from the second you meet Jennifer that she is a lover of all furry creatures and we felt immediately at ease. While we were away, Jennifer sent frequent pictures and updates of our puppy and his activities so we knew what he was up to and that he was being loved and cared for. We feel lucky to have found Jennifer - 11/10!!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Nicole was great with our chihuahua Sonya! She constantly updated me on Sonya's behavior and mood, and also sent me pictures a few times a day. Thanks Nicole!”
“Juliana was a great sitter for my pug, Riggins! Riggins stayed multiple nights at her house and constantly gave updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. I would highly recommend and would use Juliana again!”
“Christine was great! She took Indo on very late notice, and made him super comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area in need of a responsible and knowledgeable dog sitter!”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”
“Very friendly and sent tons of pictures. Our little guy seemed like he had a great time and came home completely exhausted. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks!”
“This was our first time working with Olivia and she was fantastic!! Amazing updates, dropped Maddie off at our home, and even coordinated with our other Rover for pick up for a long 2 week stay when we were on vacation. Highly recommend and great communicator! Would definitely book again!!”
“Kiara is the absolute best dog sitter. Luna ADORES staying with her and all the pups. I always feel so safe and secure knowing Luna is in the best hands and never have to stress about her while I’m gone. Highly highly recommend anyone considering leaving their pup with her :) thank you Kiara!!! You’re the best!”
“My last dog sitter stopped doing overbites and only does doggy daycare now, and a friend told me about Rover. Danielle is wonderful. She’s very responsive, super nice and very professional. She is proactive, great with communication and clearly loves animals. Her dog Jones is very easy going. Will definitely use her again!”
“Shandara took care of my dog Freckles, as well as another dog, and her own for a few days. She did a meet and greet, sent me updates constantly, and was very professional. I would have her sit again for me.”
“My dog was cared for so well during her first visit. Tim was so nice and sent pictures. His dog Maui was so gentle and I am sure never bothers the dogs they are caring for.”

“Emily is a huge cat lover! She was attentive to details and provided detailed updates with photos for our two cats, including one with special needs. I would definitely recommend booking her to take care of your cats.”
“Leah looked after our two cats when we were on a ten day vacation, and she was fabulous! It was clear that instead of just administering medications and then leaving, she spent time giving them cuddles, and we really enjoyed the photos she sent of our cats being their predictable selves. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Emily was great for drop in visits for my cat and rabbit! I especially appreciated how flexible and responsive she was. Was happy to see picture updates of my pets. Would definitely book again!”

“First time rover user and Wayne was great! He was responsive and kept me updated everyday I was away. I would recommend him to anyone who needs drop by services.”

“Sydney is truly the best. I am still clueless as to how she manages to get my scaredy cat out from under the bed for pets every single time!!! She’s incredibly reliable, communicative, and always reassuring- especially when I have extreme separation anxiety about leaving my babies. I’m so grateful to have found someone I completely trust with my cats and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Cece took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week. She sent cute photos and made sure to play with them everyday. We came home to happy cats and a clean home (litter taken out & cat dishes done- much appreciated). We recommend Cece! She is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals.”
“Great cat sitter! She took excellent care of our cats, Lilo and Lila, and kept us updated while we were away. Reliable, caring, and easy to trust — we’d happily book her again.”
“Abigail did an amazing job! She left great notes and was responsive. It was my first time using this app and she exceeded all of my expectations! Will definitely have her again if the schedule works out!”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. They were happy with her for every visit and always gave me updates, she seems to take great care for both of them and I would love to make her my cat sitter again!”
About: I grew up with a cat in my home at all times. Scooping litter, playing, and cuddling was an everyday thing! We took in my aunts cats when I was young and I cared for them most of my life. In 2021, I fostered kittens for 2 months so I am used to all ages of cats! I have my own happy kitty at home (his name is Noodle)! I would love to meet your cats!

“Samantha was very welcoming of Bulbasaur and sent video/photo updates during the day to let me know that he was doing well. Very responsive and easy to work with.”
“Our 4-month puppy LOVES going to daycare at Emelie’s! He has a great time with his playmates and comes back home happy and tired—never overexcited or stressed out. Emelie is able to take care of a lot of dogs, let them play and rest, and even give them love. She has a spacious home and a great fenced backyard where her 4-paw guests can run, play, and go to the bathroom. Highly recommended.”
“Ronon seemed very comfortable with Janelle. He was happy and relaxed after spending a day with her and her dog, Bentley. I will definitely book Janelle for daycare again.”
“Our Bruno was in great hands with Mel. She was very communicative and responsive throughout his stay and she provided many photo updates. Bruno was happy and exhausted after his stay and it was clear that he was in great hands. Would highly recommend her !!”
“Luna came home all tuckered out from Danielle and Wade's! I can tell that she had a great time hanging out with Jones all day. I knew Danielle & Wade are dog lovers as soon as we met, and felt very comfortable leaving Luna with them. Great communication and very reliable! We'll definitely be back!”
“Christopher is the best dog sitter I have had on Rover! He send me lots of picture throughout the day and work on Ben’s training. I feel so confident leaving my dog Ben with him and knowing that he is gonna have a fun day!”
“Ariella was such a wonderful sitter! She was so patient and understanding of my very anxious dog. With a nervous dog, it can be stressful leaving her with someone new for the first time since you never know how it’s gonna go, but Ariella provided regular updates, which was much appreciated and put me so much more at ease. I would absolutely book another visit for my dog with Ariella next time the opportunity arises!”
“Dejah and her boyfriend were absolutely amazing with my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving her with them! I got plenty of photos and updates throughout the day which was great. Millie clearly had a very fun day at Dejah’s house :) I am absolutely going to book with Dejah again for daycare while I am at work and would 100% recommend her!!”
“I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”
“Rhea was amazing! Olive had such a great time with her and her pup! She was able to answer all my questions and made me instantly feel at ease leaving my pup with her. I would absolutely rebook in an instant!”

“Abby and Max took such good care of Nori. We received pictures all day long with updates. Nori has a lot of energy and they were so accommodating and even took her to the dog park. Nori also loved hanging out with their dog Opal. Thanks again Abby and Max!”
About: As a reliable and caring dog lover, I believe that pets are family. I have had a house full of pets since I was just 5 years old, and have loved them everyday since. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a nurse, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, medication schedules, and special needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a little bit of everything, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member :) I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so I have plenty of time to love your fur babies. My schooling is remote until January, so I will be home all the time aside from errand runs, so I am very able to keep your pup happy and entertained while you’re away!! I have a super friendly golden retriever/ German Shepard mix who loves having friends over - he does extremely well when we watch our friends pups. I am able to crate your dog if needed. I do let my dog on the couch and our bed, but I am happy to set any boundaries with your pup that you request.
“We are very pleased with Daisy’s care provided by Yuhan for the whole day. She had a chance to socialize with other dogs and appeared to have a good time.”
“Electric & Crescent are awesome. Odin had a great time with them and their lovely cats! The communication was great, they're easy going, they sent pictures constantly on how Odin was doing and I couldn't be happier to see him enjoy playing and cuddling with them. Odie is definitely coming back! Thank you!”
“Terrific and caring, they care for our yellow lab. This is our first experience, leaving our dog off with someone and we were delighted that this was the perfect place to be. Our dog came back happy, safe, and is looking forward to more visits.”
“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”

About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
“Jamie was great looking after our pup while we were gone! We will definitely be booking with her again and cannot recommend her enough. Very responsive, responsible and trustworthy. Five stars!”

“Anthony helped with walks for our two dogs over a long weekend and did great with them! He was easy to communicate with, reliable and professional. Would recommend!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who I love, cherish, and take care of. I have walked dogs for my neighbors and family before, always ensuring the most safe and nurturing experience for them. Currently I am in school, but very flexible for walking on weekdays. I am always open to figuring something out that works around my schedule. The weekends are a little more busy, but again times can be worked around. I will care for the pets greatly in their environment in which they feel comfortable in. I walk my dogs a lot and always make sure they are safe and protected.
About: Being the oldest, my siblings and pets were always my responsibility. Now that I’m grown I don’t have any kids however I have 5 dogs. I love the fur babies. People think I’m crazy for loving dogs so much. I think they’re crazy for not understanding. I do media coverage for events so my schedule is super flexible as the events aren’t every day. I shoot for a few hours then I have the rest of the day free. I treat pets and property with utmost respect and care. I don’t just do what I’m being paid to do. If something needs to be done I’ll do it as long as it’s approved. If your dog went to the bathroom, I’ll clean it up. Things like that.
“Hannah is responsive, flexible, and easy to work with! She took all our dog's quirks in stride, and adapted to his needs, which we really appreciate. Our dog loves her :)”
“Elizabeth is amazing with Artie! She always communicates well, is reliable, and I completely trust Artie in her care. I’ll absolutely continue scheduling walks with her!”
“Leah was great with Hazel! Hazel is a shy and timid dog, and Leah was very patient and sweet with her. It’s clear that Leah has a lot of experience, skill, and expertise at caring for dogs. I was confident that Hazel was in good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lauren was a hero in watching my dog Clover at the last minute, when I got called out of town. Great communicator, lots of pics, and a very happy doggy 😁😁😁”

Communication was great and I will not hesitate to use her again”

We also loved that Kerry sent us a ton of updates and pictures. Her home is very welcoming to pups, and we know Teddy felt comfortable and had a great time. Kerry is very easy to communicate with and flexible when planning pick-up and drop-off! We can’t wait until Teddy can visit Kerry again ❤️”
“Lucy had another awesome stay with Fran and friends. Lucy injured her paw a few days before our vacation, which was not ideal but, of course, Fran took excellent care of her. Fran and I scheduled a call to go over Lucy’s care needs before her stay, which included medications and a daily Epsom salt soak for her paw. Fran took excellent care of all of Lucy’s extra needs. At the end of her time with Fran, Lucy was happy as usual, and her paw was fully healed! So appreciative of Fran, Curtis, and Rosie, for their hospitality and excellent care of Lucy!!”
“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!”
“We have confidently left our furry baby in the loving care of Elaina multiple times and again, she took wonderful care of our cockapoo, Benjamin Franklin. She sent pics of him being a snuggle bug, lounging, and even enjoying the outdoors. Elaina is fantastic and absolutely, yes, we will book her again soon!”
“We were traveling out of state with our up and needed a last min place to put him while we explored the city. Ariella was friendly and super communicative. Thank you so much for all the pics!”
“Kristin was amazing and our boy Sherman had the best time with her and her family. She was extremely communicative and attentive, and provided so many photos of our little guy throughout the weekend so we didn’t have to worry about him. It’s hard leaving your pup with someone new and she made it as easy as it could be.”
