“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!”

About: My hands-on pet care experience comes from being a dedicated dog mom to three wonderful dogs. I currently care for a 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Dash and a 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Bubba giving me experience with both senior dogs and younger, energetic breeds. We recently lost our 14 year old Maltese, Ice T to heart failure, he fought hard and strong for 3 years. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and recognizing the unique needs that come with aging pets, including maintaining routines, administering medications when needed, and providing extra comfort and attention. At the same time, my Goldendoodle keeps me active with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, from senior dogs to active younger dogs. On weekdays, I'm typically available in the mornings, during lunch, and throughout the evening. Weekends are generally open, allowing me to provide additional playtime, exercise, and one-on-one attention. I only take one pet at a time so I can ensure each dog receives personalized care, supervision, and lots of love while their family is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs and active breeds. My home features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods and receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for during their stay.
“This was Wilson’s 2nd stay with Mike and Deb. He was so excited to see them and was very comfortable right away (which is not his usual MO). We got daily updates, including pictures and activity reports. And, once again, we received a journal highlighting his walks - complete with times and potty reviews. We know Wilson is in good hands when he stays with Mike and Deb. They’re the best!”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals since I’ve been 10 years old. I currently have a yellow lab who is the sweetest dog! He enjoys all animals and is gentle when playing. I watch all my friends and families' pets when they go away. I mainly work from home during the week. Occasionally, I may need to go into the office. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can room or I can take your dog for a walks all throughout the day. I have one dog who would love company. I have a nice fenced in yard. Your pet will be allowed to be on my furniture and sleep in my bed.
“Lily is absolutely amazing. She treats our Charlie like family. She’s reasonable and listens to your questions and concerns. We absolutely love her! Thank you Lily for treating our Charlie as your own”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Ariel was an excellent host. She kept me consistently updated on Rain’s day with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages. She was also very attentive to Rain’s needs, spending time playing with her and staying close by during her first night. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have lots of experience administering medication to dogs and cats and I am comfortable doing so. I am also comfortable watching puppies, who are not potty trained, and cleaning up after them. I have had many puppies in my life and cleaned up a lot of messes. Depending on your requests (and your dog's preference), I will take your dog on a long (2 to 3 mile) walk a day or to the dog park (probably in Pheonixville: on Longford Rd). A dog deserves to get all his energy out, and I do not charge more for walking them. I recently moved to the Valley View Apartments in Pottstown, PA. I work part-time at The Home Depot (6 minutes away). I have a BA in English from Stony Brook University in NY and I am returning to School this fall, part-time, to begin a new journey in Engineering. I love dogs and I would enjoy watching them and taking care of them. I have had dogs my entire life, and due to my recent move, this is the first time in my life I am without them in residence. Your dog(s) is free to go and sleep wherever they want in my apartment. My dog, Oliver, is a gentle, sweet pup with random bursts of puppy energy. He suffers with epilepsy, which is where I gained experience administering (over fifty: not an exaggeration) pills a day to my dog. Our dogs and cats are free to go wherever they want at the house back at home and when they stay here at my apartment. Although I am not living with them currently, I believe taking them out either for a long walk or to the dog park for at least forty five minutes is essential.
“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!!”
“Diego and Amelia took care of my dog for an entire day so I could focus on moving. They kept him for 4 hrs longer than planned. They were completely understanding and I felt comfortable the entire time.”
“Muffy had a great experience staying with Meagan and family. Highly recommend Meagan and her services, would definitely revisit when looking for boarding and/or day care. Thank you Meagen for taking care of Muffy when we were out.”
“Tina took care of our high energy, 15-month-old shepherd mix JoJo for 8 nights and we couldn't be more pleased with how her stay went! It was the first time we have left her anywhere and she did great! Tina was very quick to respond when we initially reached out to her back in February and scheduled a meet and greet the very next day. We were so happy to see JoJo would have a great big fenced in backyard to play in! When the time came to drop her off, Tina was flexible with the time, and we received daily updates and pictures the entire time we were away. The day we picked her up Tina was again flexible and while JoJo was happy to see us, she was also in a very happy mood, and it seemed like she had just had the best time! We are told she ate well the whole time and adjusted well on the very first night. Would highly recommend having your fur-baby stay with Tina and we would not hesitate to leave our JoJo with her again.”

“I've said it before and I'll say it again: Melodi is phenomenal! We've been having her come and care for our two cats for a while, and she knocks it out of the park every time. I always get anxious leaving the kitties when my husband and I go away, but she is very communicative and washes away my worries with updates and photos. Melodi understands our cats personalities and works with us and them to ensure that they have a great experience as well. Thank you Melodi for all that you do!!!”
“Molly did a great job watching our cats, making sure that they were fed and happy. Lots of update photos, and easy scheduling. I would recommend her to anyone needing a hand with their pets!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I know that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, plenty of playtime (if they enjoy it), and lots of affection on their terms. I’m also happy to administer basic medications, follow special feeding schedules, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your feline family member is in good hands. My goal is to care for your cat the same way I care for my own two cats with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable in your home, and I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care.
About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.

About: Hi, I’m Adina, owner of Playful Paws Pet Sitting. I offer thoughtful, high-quality care for dogs and cats in a calm, home-style environment. I specialize in one-on-one attention, consistent routines, and low-stress care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced, insured, and deeply detail-oriented — from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I intentionally limit bookings so every pet receives unrushed, individualized care. My clients are often busy professionals who want complete peace of mind while they’re away. I provide clear communication, photo updates, and the kind of dependable care I’d expect for my own pets. Your home and your pet will always be treated with respect, warmth, and discretion. If your pet stays with me, I offer an executive home on a large one acre flat lot and access to nearby trails. For sporty dogs, we take two twenty minute walks a day and one long hike in the woods (1-2 hrs) in addition to regular potty breaks outside. For the couch potatoes, I offer lots of quiet places to lounge and toys and enrichment like puzzles. Your dog can have total privacy if needed, but it’s better for everyone if they get along with other dogs. My home is like camp for dogs! I am with your dog all day, and will not leave them for more than 1.5 hours to run a simple errand. If you’re looking for reliable, concierge-level pet care, I’d love to connect. I specialize in anxious pets, senior pets, and pets who need a lot of medical attention throughout the day. My clients are mostly long term and like family and I develop lasting relationships with your pets! This is my full time job and so I am available to you and your pets. Please discuss with me the details of what you need and I will give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I’m friendly, flexible, and will go above and beyond to keep your pets happy. I treat all animals with love and respect. I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am neat and organized and will treat your home with care and respect. I will send you photos/videos of your pet(s) as well as daily written updates. I specialize in dogs and cats with anxiety or who are shy, as I take the time with your pets to make sure they are comfortable.

About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.

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 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.
“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: 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!
About: I have lots of experience administering medication to dogs and cats and I am comfortable doing so. I am also comfortable watching puppies, who are not potty trained, and cleaning up after them. I have had many puppies in my life and cleaned up a lot of messes. Depending on your requests (and your dog's preference), I will take your dog on a long (2 to 3 mile) walk a day or to the dog park (probably in Pheonixville: on Longford Rd). A dog deserves to get all his energy out, and I do not charge more for walking them. I recently moved to the Valley View Apartments in Pottstown, PA. I work part-time at The Home Depot (6 minutes away). I have a BA in English from Stony Brook University in NY and I am returning to School this fall, part-time, to begin a new journey in Engineering. I love dogs and I would enjoy watching them and taking care of them. I have had dogs my entire life, and due to my recent move, this is the first time in my life I am without them in residence. Your dog(s) is free to go and sleep wherever they want in my apartment. My dog, Oliver, is a gentle, sweet pup with random bursts of puppy energy. He suffers with epilepsy, which is where I gained experience administering (over fifty: not an exaggeration) pills a day to my dog. Our dogs and cats are free to go wherever they want at the house back at home and when they stay here at my apartment. Although I am not living with them currently, I believe taking them out either for a long walk or to the dog park for at least forty five minutes is essential.
About: Since growing up with many different breeds of dogs, I have a lot of experience. I have pet sit and taken care of my neighbors dogs as well as other peoples dogs. I worked at a dog daycare in limerick called Dogtopia, so I have a lot of dog experience from that as well. I work a 9-5 on the weekdays and am mainly open on the weekends to help with anyone in need for dog walking or sitting! I take pet care very seriously. I love taking dogs for walks and giving them company in their homes as well. Any specific instructions you have, I will follow and make sure your dog is under good hands!
“Shiena does a fantastic job! She walked our 1 1/2 year old Australian cattle dog daily over a recent ten day period. She showed great care, drying off his paws on the days where there had been rain puddles, but allowing him to enjoy his walks. She sent daily photos with comments about his walk. Shiena was very flexible in scheduling and great at communicating with us. Our dog bonded with her and awaited her arrival with excitement! I would highly recommend Shiena to you.”

I will care for your fur baby how ever you instruct me to, if they need crates I will crate, and if they need constant care and attention I will do that as well.
“Wow! She was simply amazing with our girls! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to walk them. She usually does a meet and greet but because our booking was last minute she just trusted that our 2 golden girls would be sweet and welcoming. (Which they were). Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I am an animal lover and would really enjoy watching your pet for you. I have always loved animals since I was a little kid and grew up around all types of them. I currently have a puppy myself who I adore. I have experience watching bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. My sister goes away quite frequently and I always take care of her lab. I actually get really excited when she asks me because I truly enjoy watching him, taking him for walks, playing with him, etc. I have taken care of my neighbors cat and aunts cats many times when they were away. My aunt always is amazed that her one cat lets me hold her because she runs from everyone else. I would love to be a help to your furry friend as well!!

“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!”
“We are so thankful to have found Alexa to watch our lab, Bailey! She was very quick to respond to messages. She has a great backyard for the dogs to play. She sent lots of pictures and messages to update us on how Bailey was doing. We would definitely use her again!”

“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”

“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!!”
“Muffy had a great experience staying with Meagan and family. Highly recommend Meagan and her services, would definitely revisit when looking for boarding and/or day care. Thank you Meagen for taking care of Muffy when we were out.”
“Tina took care of our high energy, 15-month-old shepherd mix JoJo for 8 nights and we couldn't be more pleased with how her stay went! It was the first time we have left her anywhere and she did great! Tina was very quick to respond when we initially reached out to her back in February and scheduled a meet and greet the very next day. We were so happy to see JoJo would have a great big fenced in backyard to play in! When the time came to drop her off, Tina was flexible with the time, and we received daily updates and pictures the entire time we were away. The day we picked her up Tina was again flexible and while JoJo was happy to see us, she was also in a very happy mood, and it seemed like she had just had the best time! We are told she ate well the whole time and adjusted well on the very first night. Would highly recommend having your fur-baby stay with Tina and we would not hesitate to leave our JoJo with her again.”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic and we would love to use her for her services again. This was our first time leaving Buddy with anyone so naturally we were nervous. However meeting with Sarah and seeing how happy Buddy was to be there, any concerns were forgotten. Sarah sent us pictures and updates during his time with here! Sarah is fantastic!”
“I can’t speak highly enough of Deepak and Derek! Our puppy was so happy in their care. They took her on walks, cuddled, and was so communicative. I highly recommend them for your dog needs!!! Thank you!!!”
“Dolly and her three boys took exceptional care of Parker. She has three boys and a large fencing backyard that allowed him to play amd explore in a safe environment. When we arrived, parker was immediately snatched up by her by one of her two younger sons who promptly began playing with him, pampering him and loving him. Dolly said her sons even “argued” over whose bed he would sleep in. Parker came back a happy camper and made three great buddies along the way. Additionally, Dolly kept constant contact with me and sent pictures over the course of the two days. I would highly recommend this wonderful family to look after your pet whenever you need someone to watch them.”
“Dawn is excellent! She was recommended by a friend and we were so pleased with the stay. We have 2 dogs with very different personalities, a bolder big dog who loves the outdoors vs a smaller house-centered dog that is cautious and timid. Dawn was comfortable with both personalities and within a day, the timid dog was thriving. The fenced in yard is great and she gave us frequent updates with pictures. It was a great experience!”
“We were nervous about leaving our puppy, Ivy, overnight for 4 days, but Joel exceeded all of our expectations! From the start, Joel was very responsive, professional, and friendly. He sent us daily updates and pictures which really put our minds at ease. We knew Ivy was in good hands, getting lots of attention, daily walks, and playtime with Cash. We will definitely use Joel again in the future!”
