“jean was great! my pup was a little unsure about meeting new people at first, but jean was very attentive and stayed in touch with us to make sure all of his needs were met”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little unsure on the overall process and experience. My dog can be a little apprehensive and anxious at times, especially when meeting new people. Dawn alleviated any concerns I had from the moment she reached out. Ahead of my boarding time, Dawn was flexible and made herself available to do a meet and greet and showed me her home and let my dog explore to become familiar with the environment. During my time away, Dawn provided photos and updates each day. I highly recommend Dawn and know that you will be in good hands!”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“Janette and her family are so sweet and obviously love taking care of dogs. They welcomed my puppy into their home right along side their adorable three dogs and three kids. He had tons of space to run around outside, a puppy pool to splash around in, and a safe place inside for his crate so he could get some sleep overnight. They sent me pictures and an update during his stay, and told me all about how he did when I picked him up. He came home tired, happy, and clean - what more could I ask for?”
“I have to admit that I was skeptical at first with leaving our fur babies with anyone, but I knew I didn’t want to board them in a kennel. We were more than happy with Jim, and the way he and his family took care of are babies! We got pictures and updates everyday of how well they were doing. This was our first time ever using a dog sitter, and we would definitely recommend Jim to anyone! We will definitely be repeat customers for sure!!”
“Manu & Dhruv are our go-to sitters for our dog Fly. They always take such great care of her, and we can travel with peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands. We also appreciate the frequent pics and updates. Thank you!”
“Max loves spending the night at Shiena's! This is the second time Max has stayed there, and he was so excited to see Shiena. I'm very picky with who I trust with my dog, and I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a Dogsitter!”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with my dog, Nova! She took such great care of her, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell Mary genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.”
“Megan and Vitaliy were wonderful to work with! Excellent communication pre-booking and during our trip. We loved all of the pictures of the pups enjoying their yard. Felt at ease during the trip. Our dogs Watson and Parker were well taken care of. Will plan on booking again in the future. :)”
“Tina was absolutely awesome with our high-energy Goldendoodle Rusty. Rusty spent 5 days with Tina and family while we were away in Florida. She took excellent care of him - he loved racing around her yard, playing with her kids and being a new member of Tina’s family. The pictures she sent daily of Rusty proved that he was having just as an amazing vacation as we were!”
“Maui and Tucker had the best time staying with Brandi! They were well taken care of, got lots of walks, and we got great updates and photos. Would absolutely recommend and will be booking again in the future!”

“Kim was fantastic! So good about sending pictures and videos. Took my dog on sooo many walks and always ensured he was having a good time playing. 100% recommend her!!”
“Lovely, cozy house and farm, where our Great Pyrenees had a perfect stay over the holiday period this year. Zach and Martin sent regular photo and video updates while we were gone - highly recommended!”

“Elena came to my house twice a day over Thanksgiving break and then, due to a family emergency, she agreed to extend the visits for another five days.

“Amber was super responsive and really helped us out over the holiday weekend. Our cat takes several medications and Amber was able to administer all of them for us. Would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Paige is a very kind and compassionate sitter, we had her taking care of our cat for a week and she was always super communicative and helpful! We will definitely hire her again!”

“Dear Makayla, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Christy while we were away. I appreciate your dedication and compassion. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year.”
“Audrey took great care for our 3 cats with detailed updates, pictures and kindness. She was courteous and prompt with her responses. This was my first experience with hiring someone I do not know and Audrey gave me confidence that all would be well. I would for sure invite her to care for my pets again and recommend her!”
“Alexis was fantastic! She was reliable and my cat loved her immediately. It was very comforting to see all of the happy photos while I was gone. She went above and beyond to also help me with an issue in my house while she was there. I highly recommend her!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for myself and my pets with Jennifer. My dog who can be a bit shy really warmed up to her which is huge! Jennifer’s communication and overall positivity, care, and friendliness is so appreciated and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Jess is great and so kind! She was available last minute and quickly set up a meet and greet with my girls Layla and Phoebe. They instantly took to her, thanks to the treats she brought them!

“Janette was incredibly accommodating with my last‑minute request. She was patient and understanding with my energetic Rain, even when Rain had two accidents in her home. When I picked Rain up, she was clearly comfortable with Janette, her wagging tail and happy little hop said it all. We will definitely be using Janette again.”
“Dakota's favorite day of the month is when she gets to go hang out at Spencer's house. His dogs have officially started being referred to as "the cousins ", and she loves spending time with them. I get peace of mind that she has loved and cared for no different than if she was laying at home with me”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“Alexa was amazing. Super responsive, sent a ton of pictures and kept me updated. Roo had a cone on during his stay and when the one I had broke, Alexa made she he got a new one same day. Would highly recommend”
About: My animal-loving 17 year old daughter would love to play with your pet and take care of him/her. I will be helping her in every way. I've had dogs since I was a kid, so I know how to care for them. Currently we have two cats and a Chihuahua named Buddy. I work from home so your pet will not be alone for long periods of time and will have frequent bathroom breaks. I work flexible hours from home so I am always available and can take breaks to play with or walk your pet. My kids are eager to help. I have a backyard and live in a neighborhood with lots of places to walk with your dog. My own dog is not aggressive towards any pets.
About: Lifelong dog owner and previous pet-sitting business owner; will care for your dog; young, old, big, small. Your dog will be lovingly cared for! (Note: So sorry but we are cautious about hosting aggressive breeds because of past experiences.) I am home quite a bit so your pup will get plenty of attention and exercise. I may be out for a two+ hour stretch here so bringing a crate is highly recommended. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. We also have hiking trails nearby for walks, if preferred. Plenty of exercise given!
“I can’t say enough good things. Thoughtful, kind and gentle and so easy to leave my pet with these lovely people. I am so grateful for their animal love and easy manners. Made my experience wonderful. Thank you!”
“Emily is great with the pups. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while away. I am so happy to have found her through Rover! Thanks.”
“Ronon has spent the day with Sam and her adorable pug, Petunia, twice now. Sam has a nice home and yard and a very chill vibe. Ronon was comfortable with her immediately. Ronon has big feelings and separation anxiety, so I'm very picky about who I leave him with. (Also, he has all the hops and can jump a five foot fence. Sam has a very secure yard.) When I pick him up, he is relaxed and happy! I'm very comfortable leaving Ronon with Sam and will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!”
“So pleased with the care my shy pup received today from Cody. He was patient with her and kept me updated with messages and photos. I am super pleased and she will be back soon!”
“Sruthi & Abha took absolutely amazing care of my dog! They kept me updated during my entire trip as well as kept him super safe! I could not have felt better leaving my dog with anyone else!”

“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!”
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”
“You can tell that Maranda is very attentive and cares about the pooches, and Benny loves her! She has a big backyard with lots of playthings that dogs can run around in, especially with all the snow! Other customers appear to like her too since there have another dog or three that she’s watching whenever I drop Benny off. I like that Benny can play with other dogs (and her daughters!) without the chaos of a commercial daycare center. Maranda also sends pictures throughout the day which put my concerned parent heart at ease. I booked daycare with Maranda twice last week and dropped off Benny again today. Five star complements and no complaints. Chalk me up as a returning client.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Maisie! The communication with Sarah was excellent she was always quick with responding and super flexible with drop off and pick up time. Would definitely recommend Sarah!”

“Rachel did great with my dog Oakley! He is a high energy dog but she handled him great on his walk and is very communicative about any questions/updates. We will be using Rachel again in the future!”
“Makayla responded within minutes of us requesting a last minute walker for Archer. She communicated clearly and then showed up right on time. She gave me a couple of updates during the walk and then a clear summary as to how she left. We definitely recommend her and will be happy to request Makayla again soon!”
About: Animals have always been a piece of my heart. I love every single breed of dogs. I’m always the one someone calls when they need a pet sitter. I care for the animals like no other. I have worked in the doggy daycare/ boarding industry for 2 years, I am a farm girl at heart. I have owned many animals including horses, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, & roosters! Right now I am unemployed since I had a cross country move. I am available all day everyday to sit with your pup, play, walk, whatever you would need me to do! I have my own Golden Retriever and Siberian Husky that loves to play. You will always catch my golden and I at the dog park. We love to play fetch!
“By the pictures alone, Ralph seems to have loved it. When we made it home, it was nice to know he was able to relieve himself while we were both unable to do so due to a strange glitch in our schedules. JEN WAS GREAT! Her communication was perfect, she was as very attentive and made me feel at ease from close to 100 miles away from home.”
About: I have had pets all my life and have cared for every shape, size and personality there is to come by whether that’s other people’s pets or my own. I can crate easily and have dealt with administering medications in elderly pets many times. I trim nails with no issue and I enjoy long walks or play time. I work part time in Collegeville, babysit on the side, and attend school in Pennsburg, so I don’t mind a little bit of a drive. I have no problem whatsoever stopping over to take care of your pet during a lunch break if ever necessary. I always leave room for during the day for bookings during the week, usually leaving me working at night, except for weekends. I always treat other peoples children or pets as I would my own, as a priority. I babysit very often and usually that includes pet care. I have watched dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and geckos. Safety means that while taking care of them both of us remain comfortable and relaxed in the presence of eachother. Also that they stay supervised even with their freedom.
“Jessie was very nice, she was prompt, professional, walked the whole 30min walk, and handled both of my dogs very well. They came back from their walk exhausted and I'm sure if they could talk they would say she's great too(:”
“Nicola is absolutely amazing! We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for Rocky while we’re away. She is always reliable, on time, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s well cared for. She doesn’t just walk him—she spends time playing with him, makes sure he’s fed, comfortable, and happy, and treats him like one of her own. Knowing Rocky is in Nicola’s care gives us complete peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
About: I have had pets for longer then I can remember, ranging from chocolate labs and huskies to nearly a dozen cats. I have experience with disabled, elderly, obese, and energetic animals of a variety of breeds. I can medicate and monitor your pets if need be with instructions provided. I will also play with and send update pictures of your furry friends so you can be sure of their care. I'm a full time student so I can check in anytime after 11am on most days. I do have class on Tuesday and Thursday so I can only check in after 2pm those days but I can check in later to balance it out. I will come over, hang out and play with your animals, check their essentials and ensure they are of good health, medicate or walk as necessary, then leave when I am certain of their care.
About: My family has always been an animal house; I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird! I also have been housesitting and petsitting dogs and cats for my neighbors since I was 12-13. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter (Main Line Animal Rescue) by going through dog walk orientation and worked with all sorts of dogs. I am excited to help others out and watch over their pets using my experience! I’m home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of free time! I am available for dog walking, housesitting, or overnight sitting during days of the week and also weekends. I make sure to always pay attention to each pet and see what they need according to what the owner needs (food, water, bathroom time, playtime, walks) and make sure to keep an eye on them, as well as adjusting to what they prefer - whether it be a lot of pets or just some company! I am experienced with walking a lot of different dogs and will give them plenty of love and attention.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I've taken care of two dogs. I helped my parents with training our dogs and have also helped with a senior dog I am a recent college graduate just looking to take care of some pups! My schedule is very open and I am very flexible! Would love to get repeat clients! I have grown up around dogs and I adore them. I have a lot of experience with them and love working with them. When I walk them/let them out I do as the client asks, make sure they have water, toys, etc.
“Stephen went above and beyond! Took great care of our dogs during some extreme heat, terrible thunderstorms and power outages. Great communication. So glad we hired Stephen.”
About: Pets aren’t just a part of my life—they are my life's baseline. For over 40 years, my golden rule has been that a house is not a home unless there are exactly two dogs walking around in it. Having a dual-dog household for four decades means I’m a master at managing different personalities, refereeing playful tiffs, and ensuring there is always enough love (and treats) to go around. If you are looking for a sitter who treats your furry family member like absolute royalty, you’ve found your match!, Reliable, dependable and flexible. For house sitting services I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pet's normal routine. I may leave throughout the day to go to work to run errands, family time etc. I always ensure your pet receives the care attention, meals, potty breaks exercise and all the snuggles they may need throughout the day. If your pet requires a constant care schedule, please discuss those needs prior to booking. I work full time during the week. When we are away we do not want them to be stressed. I can walk, feed, play time. I can take care overnight in your home for some week nights and weekends when my schedule allows. I am a professional who has worked in the same company for 25 years. Just looking to help out furparents.
About: I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I work at a vet hospital and have experience working with different personalities in different environments. I am knowledgeable on medication and have experience medicating my own cats and dog. I have self taught training experience as well. I will take care of your fur babies like they are my own! I am currently working full-time 5am to 1pm M-F. I will have lots of afternoon availability for walks and to keep your fur babies company in their own home! I have 3 cats of my own and they are weary of other animals. I am more than willing to stay overnight at your house for pet sitting!
About: I’ve had lots of pets my whole life. I have cared for two dogs, two cats, goats, chickens, and a rabbit. I’ve petsit for family members and neighbors, petting, walking, administering medicine, etc. I am a student home for Summer break. Right now my days are currently wide open. I am open to pet sitting during most holidays. I can walk, play with, and keep your pets company! I can feed, bathe, and take care of your pets! And lots of belly scratches of course.
