“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Douglas and Henry came back very happy from their stay with Ginger. She took excellent care of them and paid attention to the little nuances each dog needed. I highly recommend her!”
“This was Scallywag's second stay with Eric, and the pup was so excited to see them again! He dragged us right into their apartment. Drop off was convenient, communication was great, and I can tell that Scallywag had a wonderful time while I was gone.”
“I can't say enough nice things about Renee! This was my first time leaving Billie with a sitter and she made it such an awesome experience. She asked great questions to get to know Billie's needs and preferences and sent cute updates, even! What a huge difference from a kennel. Billie would be stressed and upset and wanted to be held when I would take her there, but when I picked up Billie from Renee's she seemed really happy!! Renee is a lovely person and a great sitter!”
“Kerry was a dream! My boy is sweet and very much a "people" dog. He was attacked before the rescue folks picked him up, so he's a bit reactive if he feels unsafe. Kerry was kind, attentive, and sweet on my boy. We will 100% use her services again. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Very responsive with sharing of puppy photos and videos that was thoughtful and reassuring. The best part was their cavapoo Gau who played so nicely with puppy. We passed by their place a day after finishing our puppy’s first stay with them, and our puppy really wanted to go back there to play with Gau! Will definitely use them again.”
“Elizabeth took excellent care of Tessa, and sent us plenty of photos during our trip. Would definitely board Tessa again at Elizabeth's place given the opportunity!”
“Using Rebecca has been a pleasure. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She sent lots of photos & videos. Made sure she had all the information she needed about my dog. Will use again!”
“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.”
“Rhea and her husband took such good care of our dog Olly! Rhea provided detailed daily updates and photos which was very comforting! We will definitely be rebooking in the future and we highly recommend to anyone looking for consistent, reliable, and kind dog sitters :)”
“Bryce was incredible! This was Thor’s first time away from us and I was just as anxious as he was. Bryce did a wonderful job of putting us both at ease. The photos and updates during the day was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bryce!”
“Amazing sitter! Will def use again! He kept me updated constantly and sent both videos and pictures! Highly recommend … I can tell my dog had the best time!”
“Jake was great. Very communicative, and let us know of our boys happenings. Buddy was nice and exhausted when he got home. Highly recommend, will book with him again.”

“Gabrielle did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! She went above and beyond by watering our plants, putting our mail away, and moving our trash cans after trash day as well. She changed all the water bowls out, fed our cat according to instructions, and took my (very) detailed directs in stride.”
“Jennifer did a great job with Boots! She is very nice and accommodating, and sent lot’s of photos. She paid great attention to detail as well. Would definitely recommend having her care for your kitties!”

“We love Ellen! She does a wonderful job taking care of our babies, and they haven’t wanted to make it easy on her. This poor woman has repotted so many plants and cleaned up so much dirt from the chaos our youngest cat creates 😭. Thank you Ellen! We are grateful for you.”
“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 is very kind and thoughtful, and she took wonderful care of my cat. She sent me tons of photos everyday and updated me on his status, which I greatly appreciated.”
“Max and Elie were so wonderful with Bilbo!! They left the place spotless and sent a bunch of photos every day which made me much less stressed about leaving him for the first time :)”
“Lydia was fantastic! This was my first time using a sitter for Mabel and I am so glad it was Lydia. Her visits were always consistent and looked forward to the daily pics she sent to me. Lydia went above and beyond!”
“Our babies LOVED Tia! She played with them and gave them treats. We love that she even played relaxing cat music for them. We will definitely rebook her in the future! Thank you so much, Tia.”
“Brian was great to work with throughout the entire process! He’s friendly, communicative, flexible and my cat loved him! I definitely recommend Brian and will be booking with him again in the future.”
“Casey was so incredibly kind and diligent with my two senior cats. They looked relaxed and happy at each check-in (which were always complete with cute pictures!) When we got home from vacation, the kitties were calm and sociable right away. Anyone who knows cats knows that means they were obviously well loved and cared for while we were away. We couldn’t have been happier with her help!”
“Eileen was just great with my cat!! She was very flexible and responsive, and sent lots of pics that set my mind at ease. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“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.”
“Glenda is so wonderful! She has become my go to sitter for my new rescue. She has been both flexible and communicative about coordinating scheduling and sends cute photo updates throughout the day.”
“John took great care of Georgia, including sending photos and making sure she was comfortable and happy with the other dogs he had. He also helped me navigate some nasty Brooklyn traffic that I ran into on my way into town.”
“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!”
“Kanade is so lovely and took incredible care of our pupper. I recommend her highly for all of your pet care needs - she sent lots of pictures, Lucy came back happy and calm and clearly was well loved.”
“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”
“Lauren was great with Roxie! She was kind enough to help us out with short notice and made Roxie feel like she was right at home. Roxie is a senior pup with special needs”
“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.”
“Brigette was incredible! She is the first rover in Philly we’ve tried and we don’t have to look any further! Both our pups immediately loved and and felt comfortable. Brigette sent us tons of pics and updates - the best kind of sitter! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys!”
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.
“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!”
“Travis was easy to communicate with and my dog came back just as happy as when I left him. He sent lots of pictures and even took my dog to the dog park that is less than a block away.”
“Brian was wonderful with Sadie! He was promptly responsive, accommodating to our needs, and asked really helpful questions to make sure Sadie was well taken care of. He kept us posted on how she was doing, and overall he really helped us out with this last minute request. Thanks so much, Brian!”
“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!!”
“I cannot recommend Janelle as a dog sitter enough! She took excellent care of my 11 month old puppy and made her feel right at home. I received regular updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while at work. She allowed flexibility with pick up which was incredibly helpful with my job. She goes above and beyond!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple different types of dogs before ranging from frenchies to huskies. I also had a small, reactive dog growing up so am aware of the challenges that come with caring for a reactive pet. I absolutely adore all different types of animals though and am very adaptable to different situations/breeds/personalities. I am a medical student so am able to provide services at nearly all hours of the day, whether this is dog walking, pet sitting, or any other needs you require. I will make sure to provide your furry friend with the attention and love they deserve while you are unavailable as if they were my own pets :) I currently am a medical student, so have pretty flexible availability during the week days. My weekends are generally completely free. This means that whenever you may need a helping hand, chances are I am available! I live in a pet-friendly condo by myself, so there would be no other animals around to worry about. If pet sitting in your home, I would obviously be very respectful and clean. I have house-sat in the past and always leaving the space looking as it was.
“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!”
“Ari was great! Had flexibility with my travel schedule that changed around a bit giving the impending weather, which was so helpful. Sent pictures of the pup and made sure he had fresh water!”
About: I've always loved being around animals, and taking care of pets has never felt like work to me. For the past several years, I've regularly walked and cared for two dogs, and I have two cats of my own, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm very active, so I'm always happy to go on long walks, play outside, or keep up with energetic dogs. I also understand that some pets just want a quiet companion, and I'm just as happy spending time with senior pets or those who prefer to relax. Outside of pet care, I've spent several years babysitting and teaching swim lessons, so being responsible, patient, and dependable comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll always make sure they get plenty of love and attention, stick to their routine, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently only teaching swim lessons on weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work around your pet's routine. If you need last-minute care or have a changing schedule, I'll do my best to accommodate you! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I'll make sure to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I'm respectful of your home and will always leave it just as I found it. I'll also send plenty of updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. If any supplies are needed during my visit, I just ask that they're provided ahead of time so I can give your pet the best care possible.
“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 .”
“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!”
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!”
“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!”
“Gregory accepted a last minute booking to walk our dog and ended up walking her twice, feeding her dinner and giving her medicine. She was a happy dog when we came home and his pictures and communication were great. Can’t wait to have him walk our dog more regularly!”
“Kristina was communicative and great with my dog! She took him on a long walk and gave me lots of updates and pictures, highly dependable and great communication!”
“I needed someone last minute to help walk Buster and Jenny was so quick to respond and help out. Our boy looked happy and even our cats got some attention while she dropped in. She’s easy to work with and very communicative. Thank you Jenny!!!”
“Brian was incredibly thoughtful and flexible with my dog who's skittish around new people. Went above and beyond thinking through ways that we could help her be comfortable. Was also very flexible with my schedule that ended up being a little crazy.”
“They were very attentive to my dog's needs and very prompt with communication. My dog seemed to enjoy his walks and the care provided to him. I would absolutely recommend Kaylah (Charlie) for any future bookings!”

“Kerry was a dream! My boy is sweet and very much a "people" dog. He was attacked before the rescue folks picked him up, so he's a bit reactive if he feels unsafe. Kerry was kind, attentive, and sweet on my boy. We will 100% use her services again. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“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.

“Elizabeth took excellent care of Tessa, and sent us plenty of photos during our trip. Would definitely board Tessa again at Elizabeth's place given the opportunity!”
“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 incredible! This was Thor’s first time away from us and I was just as anxious as he was. Bryce did a wonderful job of putting us both at ease. The photos and updates during the day was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bryce!”
“Amazing sitter! Will def use again! He kept me updated constantly and sent both videos and pictures! Highly recommend … I can tell my dog had the best time!”
“Jake was great. Very communicative, and let us know of our boys happenings. Buddy was nice and exhausted when he got home. Highly recommend, will book with him again.”
“Robert was great with Lulu! He was responsive, responsible and flexible. He sent adorable photos and gave plenty of updates. Wouldn't hesitate to book him again! Excellent experience. Thank you :)”
“Jasmine is perfect. I have used her services for boarding and dog walking. Both times were good experiences. I am able to relax because Jasmine keeps me constantly updated with pictures and video. Sprinkles put my dog at ease so that was super helpful.”
“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“Carismeldi and Pablo always take great care of our pup! We receive regular updates and pictures- our doggy always has a huge smile when she’s with them! Highly recommend Carismeldi and Pablo!”
“Shakira was amazing. She watched my dogs for me while I was on vacation. I ended up having flight issues coming home and she was quickly able to extend the stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the time they were with her. My dogs were very comfortable and at ease and I will absolutely be using her as a sitter again. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Merlin enjoyed his stay. We liked the updates, photos and taking time to meet in advance. Thank you for taking our senior beagle on walks. Liliana took great care, we hope to book again soon.”
“Kanade and her husband were such amazing sitters for my 2.5 year old Pom mix, Marsha. They treated her like she was one of their own and were so communicative with me. I'll definitely asking Kanade to watch her again soon. Thank you again!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“tamikia was so amazing. this was my first time using rover and i was nervous about leaving my pup for 2 weeks but tamikia’s incredible response time and constant photo updates put me completely at ease. when i picked my dog up, she was so comfortable at tamikia’s house that she wasn’t even that excited to see me lol. i will 1000% be using tamikia for any future care. this is your sign to stop browsing on rover and book tamikia!!!”
“Eunji is wonderful! She responds to messages promptly, sent tons of photos from their many walks and playtime, and our dog came home happy and sleepy from all the excitement 🧡🧡🧡 Thank you so much Eunji!”
