“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.”
“Christin was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout the say with how he was doing and you could tell how much she enjoyed being with him even with some of his quirks!”
“Yuiko is excellent with dogs! I’d highly recommend. I left my 2 year old lab with her for 4 days and did not worry once. She is great at communicating and providing updates via pictures and messages. Bodhi had a great time hanging with the other dogs!”
“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!”
“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. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. 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.”
“Cody had a great time with Emelie and her family over thanksgiving weekend. She sent loads of photos, and recognized that’s he’s a “people dog”, not a “dogs dog” and pampered him accordingly! We will definitely use Emelie again if we go away.”
“Rebecca was a terrific sitter. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She kept us up to date with lots of photos and messages and we came home to a happy pup. We will definitely be using Rebecca’s services in the future.”
“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!”
“One of the best less stress experiences Ever. I was so worried to leave my baby pup but Jennifer made it so much better Keeping me updated throughout the day! :)”

“Melanie was amazing!! I really appreciated that she asked lots of questions about my two boys because it gives me peace of mind that their doggy sitter will take the best care of them. Which was actually what happened! She sent lots of photos of updates during the stay. Her dog Pippa was also so sweet and got along great with Mr and Captain. We had a change of plans at the end and Melanie was so helpful in accommodating us. Would definitely recommend her to everyone!”

Jeff went above and beyond to make her as comfortable as possible including staying at our house overnight and additional check-ins during the day. I would recommend Jeff to everyone looking for a safe, reliable person for their pets.”
“Memorial Day Weekend (3 days) was the first time that I had been away from home and needed pet care for 3 pets from Wojciech. Like before, he has been very communicative to the needs and issues that may arrive with my pets. On this weekend, while miles away, he informed me that one of my pets (my bird) had taken ill. He took care of my bird as best that he could given that he had probably little prior bird experience, and he checked on my bird until I was able to return home to make the final care taking for my bird.”

“Emily has sat for us a number of times and she is the best rover we've had!

She goes above & beyond the expectations of a regular sitter & is very communicative.”

“We hired Amanda to take care of our cat while we were on vacation, and she exceeded our expectations! She is super responsible and took amazing care of our cat, making sure he was well-fed, entertained, and loved. We appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our furry friend was in great hands. Our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned, and it was clear that Amanda treated him with the same care and affection as we would. We look forward to working with her again in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Abbie is the best! She is so responsive and punctual, but most of all the kitties loved her! Our first night away from the fur babies was so much less stressful knowing we had her. Thank you Abbie!”

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. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry babies are safe and in a controlled space. We offer Ring camera access so you can check in anytime, plus daily text updates with photos and details about how their day went. When we visit your home, we’re extremely mindful of your pet’s normal routines. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime if they crave it, or respectful space if they prefer quiet time — always with their comfort and happiness as our top priority.
“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.”
About: I lead with positive reinforcement and animal advocacy. They're always telling us what they need, it’s just up to us to listen. Regardless of their needs, I adapt to their unique personality to ensure they're safe, comfortable, and happy. And, of course, I make sure to snap plenty of pictures to keep you informed of their stay! Pet care is my full-time focus! I'm always out and about keeping my own dog active and love welcoming an extra guest. Whiskey is a Canine Good Citizen, or as I like to call it, a Certified Good Boy. At 51lbs, he's gentle, polite, and completely content doing his own thing. Because he is so calm and respects boundaries, he's great at helping smaller and/or nervous pups feel comfortable. I also have two cats and understand the important balance of play with personal space. I live in a very safe area in an apartment with a park nearby. I have crates for boarding if needed but do my best to be home with them 100% of the time. There are plenty of blankets for cuddling and snuggles are welcome! For drop in visits, I bring the same dedicated care to your home. My goal is to keep their routine intact so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also treat your home as I would want someone to treat mine, ensuring it remains clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.

“Katie was an amazing dog sitter. She was very responsive through the rover app and sent us updates with the status of our puppy. My dog had so much fun playing with her pups (he came back and fell right asleep). We ran an hour late with picking up our dog and she was VERY understanding. I couldn’t ask for better service and I know my dog, Monty, can’t wait to play with her dogs 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.

“Liam is a great choice for pet-sitting and dog walking! Very conscientious and communicative person and executed our care plan with perfection. House and pets looked great upon our return. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks again, Liam!”
About: I love animals, basically all animals! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and feel that I know the ins and outs of the "pet world". I may have favorite breeds, but I love them all, both big and small- I love learning about new breeds, so bring it on! I have worked with pitties doodles, a jackchi, and Goldens so far from Rover! I would love to spend time outside, playing, relaxing, and exploring with your dog (and am happy to care for cats if you have those, too!). I am currently unemployed and looking for some part time gigs (like dog walking) to fill my days. I am very open during the weekdays in Roxborough. I will treat your pets and your home just like they are my own. Keeping things clean and tidy is a very easy ask for me.
About: I’ve been taking care of friends dogs and my own childhood cats for 7 years. I am reliable and can dog walk, feed, or play with any pet when you need! I am available anytime while you are at work for mid-day walks and play breaks! I am working as a server during the summer so my 7 hr shifts change from day to night, but I know my schedule 10 days in advance and can take care of your pet when i’m not working I will always be respectful of your house and whoever is there and will obviously clean up after I am done. If you need any other help, just ask and I will do it!
“Such wonderful attention to detail. My dog absolutely loved Yasemin and she was treated with the utmost care and gentleness. Yasemin is very communicative and rapid with her responses as well. I would recommend Yasemin to anyone.”

We got TONS of videos and pictures and it was clear the dogs were having an amazing time, getting to just BE dogs, and very comfortable with him. One of our dogs is incredibly shy (does not let other people touch him except us) and within a day Joesph was giving him pets, and within the week they were fully cuddling. Truly amazing - and a testament to how well Joesph understands dogs and the vibes he creates for them in his home. We will be using Joesph again when we need a dog sitter. Thank you!!!”
