“I had such a great experience with Juliana and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Leaving my dog while traveling is never easy, but she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free from the start. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me feel connected even while I was away.”
“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!!!”
“Our cat had the best time at Khaing's house! She sent us lots of pictures and videos of Ricky being playful and also resting. Khaing has a wonderful cat tree for relaxing and playing. Ricky even came home with a new toy! Thank you for taking such good care of Ricky for us.”

“Zenith cared for my dog from February 19–22, and I am so grateful for her. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent sweet updates, photos, and videos that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear she treated him with genuine love and care, just like I would. I never once worried while I was away. I would happily book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pup.”
“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”

“Tamikia came through clutch when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby and she took excellent care of him. She is the most responsive host you’ll ever encounter and she sent regular updates of Brodee without prompting which I really appreciated since it was his first time with her. Definitely worth the trip over the bridge (I’m from NJ)!”
“Donte was great with my dog. Very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. He responds fast, sent videos and updates about my dog and was very understanding when my flight was delayed. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“David took such good care of my dog this past weekend, when I brought Knuckles home he cried as if he missed him . David sent daily photos which made me so much more comfortable knowing that my dog was happy. I will definitely be a returning client.”
“Christin watched our pup for the second time in a row and we knew neyland was so loved the whole time we were away!

As a dog mom it can be very hard leaving your baby with someone you don’t know, but Christopher did everything to make sure I was comfortable and knew Monty was in good hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats. I have my own rescue cat Pepper, whom I found abandoned in my backyard (cat distribution system!) I understand feline routines, personalities, and the patience cats need to feel comfortable. From feeding and litter care to playtime and quiet companionship, I always respect each cat’s space and treat them like family. You can trust me to give your cat calm, loving care while you’re away.
“Destinee was great and communicative throughout the entire process. My cat isn’t very friendly but she still visited each day and did what she could. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.
“Kristin provided great care for our cat while we were on vacation. She sent detailed updates and daily photos. Besides feeding and cleaning his litter, Kristin showed him great affection which was very comforting. I would not hesitate to have her care for our cat again in the future.”
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.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of cats, sick, disabled, crazy gingers, shy ones... and I have never ever met a feline I haven't loved! I used to foster cats and kittens for a very long time, and I just love them oh so very much!
“We can’t say enough how much we appreciate Breanna’s visit summary and photos! We get so much insight about how our cats are doing, and our cats warm up so quick to her, we know they’re well taken care off while we’re away. Thanks as always Breanna!!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and absolutely love walking and running. Whether you've got an energetic dog that needs a lot of exercise or a relaxed dog (or cat!) that enjoys a chill stroll, I'm ready for it! My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home. Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.
About: My brother and I grew up with a cat. A beautiful orange kitty named Buff. Then, once I became an adult, I came across my current best friend. He is a cat named Oliver and I love him more than life itself. I have spent years around family members, friends, shelters, for cats.
“Rachel was super easy to book with and confirmed within minutes. We arranged to have her over beforehand to meet Lucy and see our home. This made us feel SO much more comfortable leaving our sweet girl. Rachel's check-ins while we were gone were informative and so fun to read. Our cat often hides with new faces & visitors, but Rachel's magical presence must've made Lucy know she was in good hands and not to hide. We plan to book with Rachel again and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: My love affair with cats started in childhood and has continued throughout my entire life. I've been a dedicated cat parent for 25+years, having shared my home with multiple feline companions of various breeds and personalities – from playful kittens to calm seniors. This lifelong experience has taught me everything from decoding subtle purrs and meows to understanding unique dietary needs and creating a safe, stimulating environment. I'm adept at everything from meticulous litter box care and playful enrichment to gentle medication administration and providing comforting companionship.
“Absolutely incredible with my dogs! Jacqueline kept us up to date on everything to do with our puppies with adorable pictures and videos. I came back home to find my house cleaner than I left it. she even folded up my blankets on the couch! Don’t hesitate and book her, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Jessica exceeded every expectation! I was out of the country for 10 days. Jessica house sat and took care of my two 11-year-old cats. My boy needs meds every morning and evening. She made great effort to make sure he got the meds, especially the first couple of days when he was getting used to her. She actually brought gates from her home and moved furniture so that she could give my boy his meds. She texted me every day with updates and pictures. I recommend her without hesitation. She's great!”

“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.”
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Saya and David while they cared for my miniature dachshund, Astro, for 3 days of daycare. Even before meeting him, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure they understood his routine, personality, and needs. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos that gave me peace of mind and showed just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Astro received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care (by the second morning, he ran right into their house because he was so excited to see them again)! They were also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything convenient around my work schedule. I truly felt that Astro was treated like part of their family. I highly recommend Saya and David to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters, and I will absolutely be booking with them again!”

About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas.

“Chris is a fantastic dog walker and sitter. He was able to do a couple of daycare days for Whimzy when we needed to have work done at the house last minute, which is immensely helpful. Chris is so good with Whimzy, and she loves spending time with him. We're very grateful for Chris!”
“We had a family funeral to attend, and Cartier gave us one less thing to worry about that day. She was very welcoming and put us at ease immediately. We definitely recommend her to anyone.”

It is such a comfort knowing that he is with Rachel and loved and cared for when i am away on business. He absolutely loves being with Rachel and has made himself super comfortable in her home!”
About: Ive been training and around animals almost my entire life and it’s something I take pride in. I have two dogs of my own as well. I currently train athletes and coach, so my time right now is pretty open during the normal work hours. My mornings and afternoons are free I am a very respectful and responsible person and I will respect your home and animals. Nothing that is not supposed to be tampered with, will not
About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah. As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I treat every dog like they're family and make sure they get plenty of love while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. I currently have a friendly young pup of my own, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and the importance of creating a safe, positive environment. I am currently working remote at home. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I have a big fenced in yard and a friendly dog for good company. We live in a quiet family friendly neighborhood surrounded by sidewalks.
“They were amazing! Very friendly and accomadating for a last minute booking! Sent lots of pictures. Additionally my dog can be anxious (particularly in new situations) and they were not phased at all. Got plenty of pictures of her opened up as well :)”
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Griffin and Bandit for the day! I'm a very nervous dog mom and it's such a relief to know they have someone who they can hang with who will take very good care of them. I appreciate all the updates and pictures throughout the day it made me feel like I wasn't far away from them. ☺️”
“Madeline was great. Took good care of my pup, he didn't wanna go when i picked him up! She was great at responding to any questions and even sent me some pics of Fenn enjoying himself at her house.”

We are very pleased with the interaction that she has with Winston and we will continue to have her help out several days a week. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that Winston is taken care of on these days!!🐾🐕”
About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.
About: Hi there! 🐾 My partner and I both grew up around dogs, have had our own dogs, and are foster dog parents. We'd love the opportunity to cuddle and take the very best care of your pup. Think of us as your dog's godparents! We know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies. We would love to ease that worry for you and send photos/videos and keep you updated throughout the stay! We both work from home so we will stay with your pet. With our flexible schedule, we'll be able to keep to your dog's normal routine and schedule with walks, potty, meal time, and play time! We have crates, beds, and plenty of treats and toys. We also have a huge fenced-in yard where we can play fetch and run around. I believe dogs need to be stimulated mentally and physically. In addition to getting good exercise through daily walks, I also have lots of toys and balls, sniff mats, lick mats, and food puzzles. I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!

“Olivia is absolutely a gem! Mabel was sooo happy to see, play and walk with her everyday! Olivia was so helpful even with curbing my baby back to using her litter box again #rovermagic !!! Definitely a permanent sitter in my books!!!”
“Destinee is everything you could want in a dog walker! Thorough, communicative, enthusiastic, and always right on time. As this was our first time working together, she asked great questions to ensure she was providing the best possible care for my dog. It is clear she takes her job seriously, and she immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog’s care in her hands. I look forward to utilizing her services again in the future! Her future in the veterinary field is bright.”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up in Linstead Jamaica, my family owned a small farm, where we tended goats and chickens. We also took care of 2 generations of Rottweilers, so for as long as I can remember, I have had pets. Because of this, I’ve gotten to care for dogs of all ages - from newborn to older, in sickness and health. Since moving to Philly in 2016, my family has rescued a Cat (Rocket) and a Shih Tzu (Betty White). Needless to say, if given the opportunity I will make sure to give not only care for, but love your pet! I am currently home full time. Feel free to reach out - I am available early mornings and nights, and for drop ins or house sittings when needed. I am also open to last minute bookings. I live with a family of 4. We live in a home in a very quiet neighborhood near Cobbs creek - with trails and parks within the vicinity. We currently do not have any of our own pets, but any pets we have cared for had the luxury of enjoying outdoors at almost any hour and to meet and play with other pets at different parks. As for drop ins, I will treat your home with the upmost respect.
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and absolutely love walking and running. Whether you've got an energetic dog that needs a lot of exercise or a relaxed dog (or cat!) that enjoys a chill stroll, I'm ready for it! My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home. Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
About: When I was younger, my family and I had a family cat who we loved very much. As I got older, I now have my own cat who is my best friend. I have also done dog-walking in the past as I love dogs as well. I am available Monday through Friday in the mornings/early afternoons. I am also available on occasional night to stay with your pet if need be. I keep all items and foods that could be hazardous to my pet locked away in specific parts of the home. I also make sure to keep my cat on a consistent schedule when it comes to feeding and administering medication.
About: Hello, My name Twanakay T., and I am 32 years old. While I don't currently have any pets of my own besides my fish tank, I grew up in a household with cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for animals. I had a cat named Jenny who lived with me from childhood until I was 18, and my father has a dog named Kingston. He can be quite a handful, but we are always patient with him, and I will bring that same patience to caring for your pets. I’ve also had a variety of pets over the years, including a rat I bought on a whim and a bunny who was quite elusive! I am open to learning exactly how you would like your pets to be cared for, so please let me know your preferences and schedule, and I will do my best to adhere to them. Thank you for considering me!

About: I’ve had two of my own dogs and fostered 4 puppies. I’m definitely a hands off kind of sitter, i let the dog come to me on their own terms. If they want to cuddle let’s go if they want to sleep on their bed, jah bless. I love having pets in my space. I adore dogs and need them in my life but i don’t want to my own right now. Your dog helps me keep my day moving. I have a door to the patio outside of my office/bedroom. The only issue would be dogs who can’t do stairs. We have a pee spot in the patio if it’s really bad weather.

About: I have been an animal lover for longer than I can remember. My soul dog, January, recently passed and until I'm ready for a new love of my life, I'll be a good aunt to yours! I have lived with and was responsible for the direct care of multiple dogs and cats over the years. I frequently dog, cat and house-sit for several close friends and family. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs. (Seniors are my fav!) Giving meds is a skill I've gotten good at along the way. I take the responsibility of being entrusted with the care of your family member very seriously and will always follow written instructions when provided. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have! I have a hybrid remote work schedule (2 days remote, 3 in the office, weekends off). I'm in the office (near Broad and Spring Garden). For boarding, my hybrid schedule helps me be available for being at home for extended weekend stays. Depending on the need and location, I can do house-sitting and check-ins in many locations within the city and Delaware County. (If you found me from the Rover car magnet, still send your request over even though you will be prompted that you are outside of my house-sitting radius. Based on other things I have scheduled, I'm willing to travel to many locations!) I live in a twin home in Delaware County with minimal steps to the first floor from outside. My medium size backyard is not fenced in but I love walking in my neighborhood. Other dogs in my life have required long bouts of exercise daily so I'm used to even the higher amounts of activity to keep your dog tired and happy! I do have two long term foster cats that live in my home. For everyone's safety, I will keep them in a separate part of the house during dog boarding unless the dog has extensive experience living with cats.
About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.

“I am so so glad I found Victoria on Rover -- highly recommend if you need a sitter for your animal bb! <33 My dog has some health issues which affect his diet, and is a generally shy / anxious lil guy (like myself), and I can't express how grateful and secure I felt knowing Theo felt safe, cared for, and happy while I was away. Victoria has so much experience and compassion working with animals, and you can absolutely tell by her kindness, attentive care, and communication. I appreciated every message and cute picture of my pup Theo on walks, smiling, and relaxing with Victoria (and Remi, Nova, and Luey!) In addition, I appreciated the add-on booking allowing Victoria to come pick and drop Theo off. The ease of the booking and Victoria being such a lovely sitter eased so much of my mental load and stress of traveling and being away from my pup, and I can't recommend her enough. I think Theo says woof in agreement, since he came back so happy :) This was my first time booking with Victoria but I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter and would love to rebook when I will need one for Theo again :)”

I would highly recommend her pet sitting services.”
