“We have used Mary multiple times and it’s been great! We get lots of updates and pictures and it’s clear she treats our pet with lots of love and attention. She’s a great pet sitter that I can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Yuiko did a great job with my dog, Cole. She sent just the right amount of pictures and updates. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in good hands. She also administered oral meds without issue. Would definitely have Yuiko watch Cole again!”
“Yulia and Kevin go above and beyond to ensure communication is clear and reliable. All dogs and their behavior are different, and they know exactly how to handle each kind, and multiple at a time which is super impressive. My pup was so happy staying with them, as was I!”
“Jackie was a wonderful sitter! Maddie was so happy to stay with them. We left Maddie with Jackie for a kind weekend and she took her to a pumpkin patch and sent great pictures! I highly recommend booking with her!”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Rebecca! She was incredibly welcoming and kind to my standard poodle Sasha, who can be standoffish with new people at times, but seemed to have fully made herself at home, looking very comfortable and content in practically every photo I saw. Sasha definitely has some quirks and fears, but Rebecca was very patient and generous with her space and time to make Sasha feel safe. Would definitely book again!”
“Jennifer and her family took awesome care of our puppy (a 3 month old Dachshund). It is apparent from the second you meet Jennifer that she is a lover of all furry creatures and we felt immediately at ease. While we were away, Jennifer sent frequent pictures and updates of our puppy and his activities so we knew what he was up to and that he was being loved and cared for. We feel lucky to have found Jennifer - 11/10!!”
“I just adopted my dog a month ago and this was my first time leaving him since I brought him home. Until now we hadn’t been apart more than a day while I’m at work. I was super super nervous and nearly cried when I left him, but Yuhan made the process easy and positive. She sent me pictures of him every other day and gave me tons of updates on how he was doing. He got to play with a bunch of other dogs and looked super happy in all the pictures she sent me. I’m way more comfortable leaving him now and I’ll definitely be looking to rebook with Yuhan again. He got to go on a vacation of his own and seemed to have tons of fun while in her care.”
“I’m just not sure where to start to express my LOVE FOR LIZZY!!!!❤️❤️❤️I was new to Roover and my furbaby Zeus had never been outside of his home without me😩. Lizzy calmed my anxiety so well. She was so warm and inviting and even allowed for us to do a brief meeting a few weeks before our boarding time was set to start. Zeus absolutely loves Lizzy…. She took care of my baby for 5 days. I looked forward the picture updates I was get from Lizzy, she did a wonderful job setting my mind at ease. I will certainly be booking with Lizzy for all our boarding needs.❤️”
“Chazz is great! Zelda is happy and calm when I pick her up, and my mind is at ease knowing that she’s being taken care of by someone that’s kind, friendly and professional.”
“Gabriela was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She treated her as her own with the utmost care and attention, going above and beyond! Would absolutely recommend her services.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Our dog is very high energy and requires a lot of attention, exercise and patience. Kathleen handled everything beautifully. We came home to a happy, healthy and well-cared-for pup. Communication was excellent throughout our trip with regular updates and photos that showed how much fun our dog was having, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was treated with genuine care and affection not just looked after. We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jeffrey was great with our dogs! He took wonderful care of them. He provided regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We would be happy to have Jeffrey watch our dogs again 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!”
“Devin was a joy to work with and I'm so thankful to have found her. She is kind, flexible, and easy-going. She was willing to take on my unpredictable dog and treated her with kindness and patience. Would definitely re-book!”
“Absolutely marvellous! Electra and Crescent were an absolute delight to meet, and they treated our peewees with such care. Our original plans were for just boarding our little dog (which they did armirably!), but we couldn’t find anyone to care for our cats, or to provide medication to one with diabetes. Wellsiree, they went above and beyond, and kept us up to date with daily updates in photo and video. Our little dog adored staying with them, she got lots of cuddles and lots of exercise! And our cats were so well looked after they were spoiled rotten. We can’t say enough great things about this wonderful couple. They’re our first choice for excellent care and attention of our peewees.”

“Courtney was incredible with my cat Luna. She sent us pictures every day of her while we were away. She was also very communicative about Luna. She let me know what they played with or if her food was looking a little low. Courtney truly cared for my sweet Luna and I will be booking with her in the future.”
“Could she be any better???? Marian is super-flexible, very funny, reliable, and takes her job seriously. Best of all? My grouchy cat (he hates everyone) loved her from the moment she walked in the door. She really had his number. Thanks, Marian!”
“Amanda was perfect! She was very reliable and flexible and respectful of our home. Most importantly, she was good to our boys and gave them the care and attention they needed. They are pretty attached to us (follow us around the house all day), but when we arrived home after 6 days away it was like we were just gone for the afternoon 😻😻”
“Haeley was a great communicator and took care of my boys while I was away! They seemed pretty happy with her and I could tell the cats enjoyed her company. :)”
“So glad to have found Lucy. The pictures made me feel so much better while I was away. My one cat can be very hesitant with new people so to see him eating and coming for attention really shows her caring talent.”
“Julia was super communicative and responsive, and my car warmed up to her very quickly. She really is a great pet sitter and went above and beyond with my little guy. Will be booking with her again!”
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
“Jamilah helped create routine for my cats while I was away. Her cat-whisperer qualities allowed her to connect quickly and build trust with them. She was timely, reliable, and kind. Would use her again for sure!”
“I was very pleased with Keri's care for our two cats. I appreciated that she took notes during our meet and greet about what we wanted and while we were gone she did everything that we requested, including refilling our backyard bird feeder. She sent notes and pictures that documented what she did and how our cats were doing.”
“I have booked with Christina twice and she is great! I trust her with my babies. She got my one slow to trust cat to cuddle with her, which is the ultimate sign to me. I will definitely book with her in the future”
“Amelia was wonderful taking care of our cat, Ari, while we were away on our trip! She kept us informed of how he was doing and sent cute pictures of him each day. The house and house plants were also in great condition upon our retuirn. High recommendations for Amelia!”
About: What sets me apart is my gentle, patient approach to cat care and my understanding that every cat has a unique personality. I respect their space, body language, and routines, whether they are playful, shy, or independent. I am comfortable providing feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship on their terms without forcing interaction. I also make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos so they feel confident and connected while away.
About: I’ve always been a cat lover. I grew up with cats in my home, and I now have two cats of my own who I consider my children. I am very comfortable approaching cats, and very respectful of each cats’ different boundaries.
About: Hi I’m Camille, and I’m fluent in cat behavior and cat attitude. As a cat owner, I get it. Some cats want attention immediately, some need time to warm up, and some prefer to supervise you from a distance like you’re the guest in their home. I respect all of it. I focus on keeping your cat comfortable in their routine while you’re away whether that’s feeding, litter care, playtime, or just quiet company. I move at their pace, not mine. You’ll get consistent updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing and probably laughing at something they did. My goal is simple, keep your cat relaxed, cared for, and acting like nothing changed when you get back 😺

“My pet enjoyed another great stay with Mary! She is very attentive and sends lots of pictures and updates frequently, so we always feel like he is being taken care of during his stay.”
“Yuhan was very good with my dog Teddy, and too him on short notice as I had a last minute event to attend. She was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures which I loved. She's a lovely person and filled me in everything about my pet when I picked him up.”
“We had a last minute booking with Joseph for a funeral that was out of town for us. From the beginning, Joseph was super accommodating and sent videos and pictures throughout his whole stay. Onyx had the time of his life. He was sleep within 5 minutes of us driving home. We will ABSOLUTELY book again with Joseph next time we’re in Philly.”
“This was my big baby’s first time at someone’s house without family. Monee was very reassuring and sent lots of updates/pictures. She showed great concern with Abrita’s comfort. We already booked our next visit.”
“Becky was patient with my nervous puppy. She was very flexible with time changes and schedule changes. My dog came home tired from playing and multiple walks. Would use this sitter again”
“Oreo had a wonderful time at Mike's house! She enjoyed playing with Mike's sweet dog Trent as well as a few other four-legged guests in the spacious fenced backyard, and came home happy and exhausted. Mike was very prompt with communication and sent some fun pictures. Thank you!”
“Another set of successful doggy daycare days with Jeffrey. He continues to be an excellent sitter. I have multiple bookings with him coming up, and I plan to continue booking with him indefinitely.”
“We did a trial stay with Gabriella before leaving our dog for a week in November. Kira was walked twice, had lunch, a nap and went on a little car ride. She was very happy when she got home. Gabriella was wonderful with her and it makes us feel much less anxious about leaving her.”
“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
“We hit traffic on the way to picking up our girlies and Kiara couldn’t have been more patient and kind. By far our favorite sitter for our two chaotic little rescue dogs. We appreciate you so much Kiara!!”
“Yuiko is a terrific pet sitter! She gave me Milo’s update very often. This was so helpful for me have peaceful mind as this was my first experience with Yuiko.”
“Matt & Tara were great with my gal, Pebbles. They sent me a couple of photos along with messages letting me know she was okay, which was a relief especially since this was the 1st time using them, will definitely rebook with Matt & Tara”
“Shannon is fabulous! So kind and gentle with my somewhat anxious little pup. A very inviting environment that works well for my Lucy, plus a fenced in yard! (I’m kind of thinking I shouldn’t leave this review. I don’t want her to be booked the next time Lucy needs to be watched…)”
“Electric & Crescent are awesome. Odin had a great time with them and their lovely cats! The communication was great, they're easy going, they sent pictures constantly on how Odin was doing and I couldn't be happier to see him enjoy playing and cuddling with them. Odie is definitely coming back! Thank you!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.

“Ally was absolutely wonderful! She recognized that our puppy was a tad nervous on her first stroll with a new-to-her person, so she allowed her time to do her thing and get comfortable, which paid dividends, as she eventually warmed up and I’m sure will look forward to her next jaunt with Ally.”
“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”

About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 27 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.
About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
