“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
“Eric was the BEST! I went international for 10 days and never had to worry. Joey came back happy and I knew he was loved. Thank you, Eric! Consider yourself added to my Rover rolodex. :)”
“Ginger was the best! She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times as my schedule was a little up in the air. She took Puddle for an hour walk and sent fun pictures and updates throughout the visit. I 100% recommend Ginger!”
“Zyiana was very responsive with her communication. I appreciated her flexibility when we need to extend our time. She was very attentive by sending daily updates and photo’s. She took good care of our pup!”
“Kristina was incredible! It was my first time booking a boarding session with Rover and she was so easy to work with sent me plenty of detailed updates about her fun weekend with Watson. She helped to make everything go smoothly! Thank you!!”
“Lucy had the best time with Shadow and Kerry! It was the first time I’ve left Lucy with anyone another than family and it was so good knowing she was well taken care of. Kerry sent plenty of updates on their time and how much fun the pups were having. I can tell Lucy already misses them and can’t wait to go back.”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“Rhea was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend enough. Great communication and really good questions when any issues came up. I will be using them again for sure”
“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.”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“We boarded our dog with Renee and received daily updates and photos of all the fun he was having. She gave us peace of mind throughout his stay. He came home happy and pleasantly tired. We felt comfortable leaving him with Renee and would gladly book with her again!”
“Luna loves staying with Elizabeth. She gets lots of love, walks and belly rubs. And I have peace of mind knowing my Luna is in great hands when I’m away. We are big fans of Elizabeth!”
“John is the absolute best. He and his equally hospitable Boston Terrier, Parker, took care of our Wheaten Dolly for two weeks. We were nervous having never left her with anyone for that long, but he provided us with regular (and often very funny) updates about how Dolly was doing. He took the time to understand Dolly and worked with her on some of her issues. She only sleeps on her back when she feels safe and secure, and many of the photos John sent showed her snoozing away on her back, paws in the air. She came back clean, brushed, and although she was excited to see me I think she was a little sad to say goodbye to John and Parker. We will absolutely be relying on John in the future and are so grateful to the kindness he showed us and Dolly.”
“Jennifer was amazing. Took care of our 1 year old pup on short notice and couldn’t have been more pleasant or easier to coordinate with. She sent us pictures and kept us updated through the day and took very good care of Boots.”
“Kanade went above and beyond- Riley got so much fetch and cuddles in. She keeps you consistently updated with photos and summaries of the day.”
“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!”
“Nicole and Sam are amazing! Ace loves it there! He has many girlfriends he gets to snuggle with. Bam tends to be more high maintenance and this was his first time there and he is acting like himself when I brought him home versus being scared and timid. He even interacted with the other dogs which he definitely hasn’t done before. I appreciate their patience and understanding. I had a flight canceled and they were able to accommodate me in keeping my boys an extra day. I hope to be able to use them again to take good care of my boys.”

“gabrielle did a great job with charlie as always!! goes above and beyond! she also caught that I had accidentally put more daily drop-in visits than I needed for Charlie, which was súper appreciated since that saved me some money!!”
“Faith is the best! I have now used her 10+ times to watch my cats, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. She is consistent, communicative, and caring. She goes above and beyond to take care of my cats and my apartment when I’m gone.”
“Stephen did a great job taking care of my cat Ranjha during the holidays. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Ranjha was comfortable while I was away. He kept me consistently updated with messages, which gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Stephen and would book with him again.”
“Berna has been my catsitter for 2 full years now. She loves the cats, and they love her. She's always communicative and punctual and solves any problems that arise. She has even taken them to the vet before.”
“Nina helped me with my newly adopted cat Nico for the first time while I was away for a few days and she was absolutely wonderful & such a sweet person. She took the time to come over to get acclimated to Nico and took wonderful care of him… I came home to a very happy and healthy kitty!! She sent me little notes after each visit with pictures and videos which made me so happy that he was in such good hands since it’s the first time I’ve been away since I got him six weeks ago. I’d highly recommend Nina to take care of your furry friend!!!”
“Zoe was amazing filling in to care for our cats last minute. She was incredibly responsive and continued sending updates even while we were camping and away from coverage. Coming back into cell service and having all the cute pictures flood in was priceless. Thanks again, Zoe!”
“Yaniera was friendly, responsive, detail oriented, and so sweet with our two cats. She provided daily updates with great pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing our babies were well cared for. We will definitely use Yaniera’s services again in the future.”
“Ariel did a great job taking care of my 2 cats! They are not fans of strangers, but she understood that. They were fed everyday and their water was topped off, as well as a photo everyday. Perfect!”
“Lydia was excellent! Communication was easy and seamless and my (usually) shy cat took a liking to her and came out to say hi! Would highly recommend her.”

She sent a ton of pics of my sweet kitty and was extremely punctual and communicative. I was a total wreck having to leave so urgently and not being able to take Benny with me but Rachel stepped up and saved the day. She loved my Benny like he was her cat. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Alexa helped me and my Josie greatly! I needed to have surgery and my cat likes food and a tidy litterbox. Alexa came to the rescue. My house has awful stairs and my cat's feeding situation is more complicated than I wish it was. Alexa navigated both issues and all is well. I highly recommend her.”

“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”
“Pat was very patient with both Sammy and myself, especially in trying to find his apartment! I had a very stressful day and kept getting confused. Sammy was a rescue with a horrible background and Pat was very careful handling him. Pat took him out for walks several times and Sammy loved being out on his patio! Pat sent several updates and pictures of Sammy during the day. Will be using him every time I go into Philly for my medical appointments.”
“Rosie had a wonderful day with Kanade. She kept her busy with fun activities and let me know how she was doing all day with adorable videos and pictures! I will definitely use Kanade again soon! ❤️”
“Absolutely recommend. Zyiana & Jayda are so loving and gave my little pup a ton of attention. They shared pictures and updates throughout Ruby's stay and kept me super relaxed leaving her for the first time. Thank you both for giving Ruby Moon so much love and attention!”
“I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different kinds of animals since I was a teenager. I worked at a zoo in England for a summer when I was a bit younger and from then, I grew a genuine passion for animals. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to provide lots of attention to your dog. I also walk routinely in the morning, evening, and anytime in between. I do not have any pets that live with me so it will just be myself and your dog. I will usually only have 1 dog at a time unless the dogs already know each other or live together.
“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”
“John was fantastic with my Fifi. Five minutes after I dropped her off he sent me photos and a message letting me know she was fine and already playing with his dog, Parker. This was our first date but we will definitely return. Thank you John!”
“I am so grateful Janie was willing to look after my dog after an emergency! I was looking for a sitter who would be willing to bring my dog to an emergency vet in the unlikely event that he showed symptoms that would need immediate medical attention, and Janie was gracious enough to take on the duty. She is very communicative and sent updates throughout the day. My dog is so happy and comfortable in her care!”
“My dog was really happy and tired after spending a day with Glenda and Trufa. Will definitely be bringing my dog to Glenda for future bookings.”
“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!!”
“Londyn was very responsive & Jack enjoyed his stay! She communicated wonderfully with texts & pics. Was a great location for our stop in Philly to visit independence Hall & Reading Terminal Market! Would highly recommend!”
“Emily was so sweet and kept me updated on how my baby was doing throughout the day. She was very quick to respond and flexible. I could tell Peachy was comfortable with her and had a positive day in her care.”
“Paula was a wonderful sitter for my small rescue dog. She was super gentle with him, kept him cozy the entire day. She sent me wonderful pictures with kind updates throughout the day. This was very reassuring for us since it was our first experience with Rover or any dog sitter for that matter. We could not be more thankful that Paula accepted our last minute request to pet sit for us. She is also wonderfully located for anyone visiting historic Philly. Thank you Paula for making our first time on Rover a wonderful experience!”
“Ariella was such a wonderful sitter! She was so patient and understanding of my very anxious dog. With a nervous dog, it can be stressful leaving her with someone new for the first time since you never know how it’s gonna go, but Ariella provided regular updates, which was much appreciated and put me so much more at ease. I would absolutely book another visit for my dog with Ariella next time the opportunity arises!”
“Toni is an incredible care taker and communicator!! She was available and flexible for a last minute booking and was able to accommodate an early morning/long day for my dog. She sent detailed and adorable updates and showered my dog with love. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her services!”
“Abigail and Max are really the ideal rover sitters. I got lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. They were super easy to communicate with and made sure to check if there was anything they should know about Remmy. They accepted my last minute request and were super understanding when I ran late for pickup. I would definitely book again!”

“Ben was a great pick to take care of my pups. He was very responsive and enthusiastic . I unfortunately did not have enough food at the house and Ben offered to go out of his way and pick up some dog food. He went above and beyond ! Would highly recommend .”
“Maddy is wonderful! She helped me out with a last minute request, was punctual and friendly and took great care of my dog! She obviously truly loves animals, and my pup fell in love with her from the moment they met! Maddy sends great little updates and pictures, and follows care instructions as well. Would definitely recommend booking your pet care with Maddy!”
“Tia came through for me at the last minute—the NIGHT before my trip—without ever having met me or my dog, Amara. She stepped in and made sure Amara was well cared for and loved the entire weekend. Amara had some adjustment issues and even got sick at one point, but Tia went above and beyond. Not only did she clean up after her, but she also made sure Amara felt better and was comfortable before leaving. She truly went the extra mile, and I can’t thank her enough. I was nervous about leaving Amara for the weekend, but knowing she was in great hands gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Tia to anyone—thank you again!”
“Diana took amazing care of Rocky and Jiji while we were away! She was very responsive and sent us lots of pictures! I would highly recommend Diana to all looking for someone to take excellent care of their pets!”
“Ari is such a lifesaver, life events that don’t allow for pet travel occur without warning and Ari took the best care of my puppy with out hesitation wheni was called away on duty. She is prompt, communicative absolutely the overall best!!”
About: I have been bringing strays in since I was a kid, and now 30+ years later I am nurturing the love of my pets ever since. With a myriad of different dog, cat, and fish breeds over time I have grown to learn the different care and needs that pets deserve. Above all else, food and water, LOVE rules. I work remotely in my full-time career as a CAD Drafter in the Steel industry. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets anytime during the day and live 2 blocks from City Hall so I keep my clients in walking distance so it is easy and efficient for everyone. I build a safe environment with your own home to make sure your pets are well taken care of, watched, cleaned up after, and walked at a convenient and organized schedule that fits your needs.
“Allison was awesome with my pup! She arrived on time, took him on a great walk, and left him happy and tuckered out :) Super communicative and willing to adapt to my dog’s needs. I’ll be booking her again!”

About: I am an animal lover, and I would be overjoyed to walk, feed, and keep your pet company. I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience dog sitting my neighbor's Goldendoodle. While I was in high school, I volunteered at ACCT Philly on numerous occasions and now volunteer at Morris Animal Refuge doing various tasks such as playing with some of the dogs in the outdoor pens, cleaning their cages, and making them toys. I've learned a lot from my time volunteering, and use my experience from my time there to connect with all kinds of dogs. I also work from home which allows me to have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can do last minute emergencies if the opportunity arises. I work from home, so I spend majority of my time alone, and would love to have the company of your pet with me. My schedule allows me to attend to dogs by giving them as many belly rubs as they need, feeding them throughout the day, and taking them on multiple long walks since I am not tied to my desk all day. I have a small back patio that pets can go out onto and sunbath on, multiple comfy couches for them to lay on, and plenty of parks nearby where I can safely walk them. I want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
“Tarik walked my dog for the first time and was great. He was responsive, took great care of my pup who was a little apprehensive about walking with a stranger but he made her feel relaxed and comfortable very quickly. Highly recommend Tarik!”
About: I’ve been able to care for dogs (both young and old) for extended periods of time and have always been able to ensure their safety and comfort This is my full-time job for now, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to the needs of you and your adorable dogs :) I’m very flexible when it comes to a dog’s needs. If they have specific routines that need to be followed or medications taken at a certain time, I can make sure those expectations are met
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 15 years, including my own, neighbors, and friends. I am experienced in dog walking, overnight and day time pet sitting, etc. I live walking distance to Rittenhouse Square and the Schuylkill River trail/dog park. “Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.” I have a flexible work schedule and can be available as needed. I am available to dog walk during the day or care for your pet as needed! I am happy to follow the lead of the owners preferences when it comes to giving treats, stimulating activities, frequency of walks, amount of playtime, etc.

She was fantastic with my Pitbull dog Jerry, and very accommodating to his needs, and very receptive to my litany of notes / instructions on what to expect with him, how to manage him, and overall what sort of attention/ care to provide him. She was very patient, she actually took notes, and I can tell that Jerry felt comfortable & secure in her care. Would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a top tier dog sitter! She also has her own dog, Snow, who is very sweet and great with other dogs. She gave Jerry lots of good company”

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Eunji twice now, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! Our furry friend absolutely adores her. She’s a total pro at following our instructions, and she takes him on long walks that he loves. She also keeps us updated with regular photos of him! We’re already looking forward to booking her again!”
“Couldn’t be more happy with Paula. She took great care of Bailey and sent pictures updates throughout the booking. I will definitely be rebooking again!”
“Christin was amazing! I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before. She kept us informed of all the progress and we know Kiwi ended up relaxing and having a great time. Totally recommended and would totally rebook. Thank you!”
