“This was my first time boarding my 11 month old puppy. They were wonderful with her, she enjoyed herself and they frequently sent pictures of her so I wouldn’t be worried.”
“Nick (Xinhao) came through on a last minute holiday request and he took wonderful care of GG for multiple days while I was out of town. He send regular detailed updates with photos without me having to ask. He also graciously accommodated an unavoidable delay on my part during drop off and was more understanding than I could have hoped! Will certainly ask him again if he is available.”
“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.”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“We absolutely loved our dog sitting experience with Yuiko. She and her family took great care of our dog Zoe. Yuiko updated us everyday with photos and information on how Zoe was progressing with her. We would highly recommend her and will certainly reach out for future bookings.”
“Mary’s very communicative and seemed really nice. I received pictures of Jaxx daily and he seemed to have a good time staying with her. I definitely recommend and will be asking her to watch Jaxx in the future.”
“Our beagle has separation anxiety and so requires a bit more attention and care. Kerry does a fantastic job of providing just the right amount of attention and always keeps us up to speed on his activities. Plus Ferris loves being at Kerry's place.”
“Gabby and her family are amazing! Our dog Lola was so relaxed and happy to spend over a week there. Even in the photos we could see how happy she was. Gabby sent us a great update every day, took Lola on lots of walks, and asked a lot of questions about how best to care for her.”
“Janet was great with Nash. She caters to all her dogs & Nash was no exception. She sent me photos of him & reassured me he was doing fine. I truly appreciated her patience when I ran a little late picking him up. Her home looks like a doggie daycare & since she's been doing this so long I knew Nash was in good hands. Thanks again Janet for loving animals the way you do.”
“My first time leaving Maui with anyone but family, and my longest trip away from him! Every worry I had about that was put at ease right away. Jacob took great care of him and I couldn’t be happier.”
“Daja was phenomenal with my pup Samson! Daja was very easy to coordinate with and was super communicative about how Samson was doing. My pup left with a smile on his face, so I will be rebooking with Daja in the future!!”
“Joseph was amazing with our pup, Cotton! He was able to step in at the last minute, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, he kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, showing Cotton happily playing with other dogs. It was great to see her so comfortable and social. Joseph’s communication was clear and consistent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend him!”
“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“Jacqueline was wonderful! She’s kind, patient, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“My dog Pinto can be challenging and this has kept me from getting weekends away where I cannot bring her. Despite Pinto's difficulty with other pets and being tough to walk, Maryori did an amazing job. She stayed in touch all weekend and sent beautiful pictures of her and Pinto out and about so that I felt reassured and able to enjoy my time away!”
“Our dog Clover had a great time with Alexis! She was super attentive and sent us update photos and videos throughout Clover’s stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Maya's stay with Melanie over Christmas was great. Melanie's home is very welcoming and she made every effort to make sure Maya was comfortable. Thank you for having her and I will definitely be in touch for a future stay!”
“Monet was awesome! She boarded my pittie pups, Charlie and Bee, for what was supposed to be 2 weeks that turned into almost a month. I appreciated her flexibility to add extra days stay twice allowing more time for my journey. Before their stay we had a zoom call and an in person meet n greet so by the time I took off I was 100% comfortable my pups were in good hands. She sent lots of pics! I was so happy that my pups made fast furry friends during their stay especially since I believed them to be lacking socialization skills with other dogs, actually...even people. To my point, my Bee has always been skittish, but after a few days at Monet's house she settled in...so much so that during their dropoff service my darling Bee wouldn't even come to me. Talk about a Mom feeling some kinda way, her wrapping herself around Monet's legs. But, that's exactly what anyone would want in a boarder...an extension of our love. I would book Money again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her to others. She loves what she does and is very knowledgeable about dogs. In addition to pickup/drop off service, she meets all dogs in advance, has toys and dog bowls, a big back yard and gives them ample walking time. She even loaned us harnesses during their stay to make their walks easier on all. I love that she specializes in pit bulls, so she was able to pick up and manage their temperaments easily. I don't travel much, but whenever I do I pray Money (Monet, inside joke) will always be available. I hope to utilize her services for random drop off visits in the future, as well. Are you still reading this review and haven't booked her yet..??? She's the real deal!”

“We would have Jaclyn pet sit our cats any time. She is professional, courteous and responds quickly thru messages. We have 4 cats so that can be overwhelming but she made easy work of it all. Thank you again!”
“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”
“This was our family’s first time using Rover for our two senior cats, Carson and McGee. Courtney B was very reassuring and on the meet & greet, the cats took to her right away. We were gone for a long weekend and Courtney reported back with each visit with pictures and how they seemed to be doing. All was peaceful and happy upon our return! Thank you, Courtney, for giving us peace of mind and making the kitties happy boys!”
“Christina is so sweet. I made the best decision ever when I booked her to drop in and feed my crew on the afternoon of my surgery. It was a huge weight off my mind knowing I didn't have to worry about my kitties being cared for while I was still on an anesthesia stupor! Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Keri is so conscientious and caring —- for our cats and for us too in communicating so beautifully. We give her our highest rating! We are so grateful for Keri’s care for our cats! We could truly relax knowing they were in such good hands. The best!!!!”
“Stormy was absolutely amazing!! She sent so many pictures and always responded to our messages promptly. I knew our boys were in good hands with her. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“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!”
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 😺
“Shelby took great care of my two kitties, administered medication, and provided great reports and photos. Look forward to having her take care of them again!”
“Good job and my cats were happy! Isobel was very timely and super nice about sending pics! I would definitely recommend her. I travel a lot and it’s nice to have someone to rely on!”
About: I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of routines, and I’ll make sure your cat gets plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and happy to spend extra time earning their trust rather than forcing interaction. I also make communication a priority. My goal is to make your absence feel as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your cat.
“Tariq took care of my kitten twice this summer. He is very responsive, respectful and responsible. He loves animals and you can feel it. I totally recommend him.”
“Jillian was great! She made sure our 2 kitties were well taken care of! Our kitties were given lots of love and played with everyday! Very easy communication and she took great pics of the cats!”
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.
“We had a great experience with Dana! He is friendly and approachable. I appreciated the photos and daily updates, which always included a fun story. Our cat is shy, and he felt very comfortable around Dana. We will book him again!”

“Joseph was great. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and caring for these animals. My pup Selena had a blast with him and the other pups he had there. Thanks again!”
“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”
“Wonderful sitter! Very reliable, communicative, and caring. My pet was happy and well taken care of, and I loved the updates and photos. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Mary sent many photos and updates during my dog’s daycare stay with her. It looks like he had a great time with nice little adventures! I would book Mary as a sitter again, easy!”

About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs.

I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“Mumbo had a great time with Kaylah! Kaylah was excellent about sending updates and coordinating times to meet. She even reached out during the stay when she noticed Mumbo was having a little issue with his leg (a problem he does have occasionally). The leg issue turned out fine but it was great to know Kaylah was paying such close attention to him. We felt very comfortable knowing Mumbo was in such a loving home!”
“Monee is a very nice person and her dog Lucky is a great dog to make him happy to stay. That said, we had some separation anxiety. Monee is experienced and had good suggestions. We will be back!”
About: Retired dog groomer and life long dog owner. I was a dog walker in Center City before I started a family. I was also a dog groomer for 10 years and have plenty of experience around all kinds of pets. I currently walk a few dogs in the surrounding area and have a flexible schedule as I work from home. Our dog passed away and we are currently dog less. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding house trained, kid friendly dogs, week days and most weekends. I am also available to house sit in your home with your pet if you prefer. I can provide daily walks and/or yard play time and exercise, as well as feeding and admiring administering simple medications. In my home we have an unfenced yard, so I will walk your dog as per specific needs. We prefer pets not on furniture or bed, and would rather have owner provide something to sleep on. If not provided we do have blankets. We have 3 boys 16 and under so dogs would have to be kid friendly. Our boys love dogs and grew up with a doberman. They are respectful, calm and understanding of pet needs.

I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming.

We are absolutely using her again in the future!”

About: Hi! We’re Electra and Crescent. We love travel, food and animals! 🐾 We’re lifelong pet parents who have shared our home with cats and dogs for decades. We currently live with three cats of our own (2 belonged to my late mother) Kiki the senior Russian blue, Helena the toothless full figured queen and Charles Mr. Humpty Dumpty. We genuinely love caring for animals and understand the unique needs of picky eaters, seniors, energetic and active animals or pets who prefer calm, low-stress environments. We call Charles our “special needs baby” since he is neutered but loves to hump his cat toy (Matilda) Kiki was my mom’s cat who is a senior and has IBD aside from her IBD (which we are managing) she’s a very quiet, laid back cat that likes her quality time. Helena was my mom’s cat and talk about food focused! Despite having only 2 bottom teeth this thick beauty don’t let that stop her! 🐾 I’m Electra and I’m available most of the day. My husband Crescent works Monday–Friday during the day (usually finished by late afternoon). This gives us excellent flexibility for pet sitting: • Boarding at our home: We can typically do pet pickups early evenings or anytime on weekends. • Drop-offs: You can bring your pet anytime. We can also do pickups for you Monday–Friday after 5 pm or anytime on weekends. Since I’m home I can provide personalized, attentive care for your furry family members. Whether it’s longer walks, extra play sessions, or simply quiet companionship for pets that get lonely, we tailor our care to what each animal needs. We board cats (up to 3) or small-medium dogs (up to 2) at a time. We have a dedicated spare bedroom that works beautifully as a cozy “cat hotel” or “doggie retreat” — complete with a litter box, cat tree, twin bed, toys and TV for background noise.

Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”

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.
About: I've been taking care of dogs for a couple of months, including regularly dog sitting for my neighbor. I'm comfortable feeding, walking, and playing with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it's daily check-ins or longer stays, I treat every dog like they're my own. I’m currently working a part time job that has me having many off days, so with that time I care for my dog way more. I created a stronger bond with my dog since I have much time. I cater to my clients pets in their home by giving them all of my attention and pretty much treat them like my own child.
“Keri was so wonderful with our dog, Scout. She had great communication and provided us with so many photos so we could be comfortable Scout was in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I've always loved animals and felt that I was adept a befriending and communicating with them. If one begs for my attention, 9 times out of 10, they got it. I've been blessed to raise a 2 labradoodles, one of which I've had since he was only a few months old. Handfuls that they are, I wouldn't trade them for anything. My dogs are mid sized, but I love all dogs, big and small. Admittedly, there was a time where I thought I lacked the charm for cats, but some friends educated me. I now have a broader understanding that they can be just as playful and cuddly as dogs, but typically more selective. Animals, like people, are all different with different personalities. I believe understanding that is essential in interacting with & raising them.
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.

“I can't wait to book Timothy again! Not only was he excellent with pup Freddie, he was excellent with her humans. He gave us detailed updates of her walks and provided suggestions and tools to use moving forward to”
About: I've cared for animals most of my life and have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs gave me a strong foundation in feeding, exercise, grooming, and basic care. I also worked on a farm for about three years, caring for a variety of animals and developing strong handling skills and attention to their needs. Additionally, I nannied for families with dogs, assisting with walking, feeding, playtime, and daily care, and provided house-sitting services that included ensuring dogs remained safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners were away. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and am committed to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. As a college student on summer break working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins into my day. Because my work schedule is limited, I am often available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent care that fits both your pet’s needs and your schedule. I provide care for pets exclusively in their own home, where they are most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. Whether I’m taking your pet for walks, bringing them to the park, transporting them to appointments, or caring for them while you’re away, their safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules, and I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“We booked Jillian 3 times now and she always goes beyond what we ask! She sends multiple pictures and gives great feedback about our dog. She is very comfortable around our dog and I trust her when she’s with him. We will continue to book her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11, and that's when I also started working on a ranch. Until about 2019 I took care of dogs, chickens, horses, and cats. Animals are a very important part of my life and I'm very good at taking care of them. Taking care of pets is a full-time job, but it's one that I've enjoyed my entire life. I take care of animals in some way everyday and everywhere I've gone. Everything in my house is pet proof and I have hardwood floors just in case there are any accidents. There are gated off and inaccessible areas that the cats can get into but the dogs can't. Everybody has a space. I also have a fenced in yard for them to explore. I live in a very nice neighborhood as well, so it's a safe area to walk the dogs.
About: We are the perfect dynamic duo, that equally share love for pets. Between our own dogs, dogs we’ve sat for, pets we find on the street, we always want to love them all the same. Either both of us or one of us will join your pups for visits ! Kristen is a professional student nearby and Justin is an instructional aid at a local high school, that being said, we have somewhat flexible schedules and random free times, especially kristen. We both work part time as well, but dog walking, is always something that we love to do, for the cuddles and pets. Whenever going for walks, you make sure that dogs are harnessed up correctly, and ready to go before we leave the house. If we are going to a more public location, like a busy park, we will always make sure to have treats, just in case pups don’t want to listen to us! Your pups will be in very good care with us, if they’re not fan of long walks, we can always and some walk shorter and go home and give them nice good pets. For sittings, we would make sure the pup(s) warm up and are comfortable, so that we can make them feel safe with us.

“My first time leaving Maui with anyone but family, and my longest trip away from him! Every worry I had about that was put at ease right away. Jacob took great care of him and I couldn’t be happier.”

“Monet was awesome! She boarded my pittie pups, Charlie and Bee, for what was supposed to be 2 weeks that turned into almost a month. I appreciated her flexibility to add extra days stay twice allowing more time for my journey. Before their stay we had a zoom call and an in person meet n greet so by the time I took off I was 100% comfortable my pups were in good hands. She sent lots of pics! I was so happy that my pups made fast furry friends during their stay especially since I believed them to be lacking socialization skills with other dogs, actually...even people. To my point, my Bee has always been skittish, but after a few days at Monet's house she settled in...so much so that during their dropoff service my darling Bee wouldn't even come to me. Talk about a Mom feeling some kinda way, her wrapping herself around Monet's legs. But, that's exactly what anyone would want in a boarder...an extension of our love. I would book Money again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her to others. She loves what she does and is very knowledgeable about dogs. In addition to pickup/drop off service, she meets all dogs in advance, has toys and dog bowls, a big back yard and gives them ample walking time. She even loaned us harnesses during their stay to make their walks easier on all. I love that she specializes in pit bulls, so she was able to pick up and manage their temperaments easily. I don't travel much, but whenever I do I pray Money (Monet, inside joke) will always be available. I hope to utilize her services for random drop off visits in the future, as well. Are you still reading this review and haven't booked her yet..??? She's the real deal!”
“Jake was absolutely fantastic!! It was our first time ever using Rover and he made us feel very at ease dropping our dogs off. Would highly recommend Jake and will definitely be using him again!”
“Yuliia did an stellar job taking care of our little cat Zelda. We got daily pictures, where we could see our little cat very comfortable at her place, enjoying every day there. It was reassuring seeing her have such a good time, and we will definitely be requesting Yuliia to take care of Zelda if we need it again.”
“Wonderful, Lexi seemed very content and Ceara took great care of her; we got lots of pictures of Lexi out on walks and snuggled up sitting next to Ceara. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup for the first time, we would definitely call Ceara again!”
“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!”
“Cindy was amazing with Hank! She was super responsive and sent a ton of videos/pictures throughout his boarding to let us know he was doing okay. Hank looked like he had a great time, would definitely use Cindy again!”
“Lizzy was fantastic - good communication, easy to make arrangements, and most importantly, great with my pups. They came back happy and healthy and obviously had a great time. Thanks!”
“Rebecca went above and beyond through the entire process. It was my first time using Rover and she exceeded my expectations. She is SO sweet and Sydney enjoyed her vacation with her. I will definitely be scheduling with her again.”
