“Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”

“Jayla is the best sitter I have ever had for Marley! I had to travel out of the country because of an unexpected issue for a month and she was ready to take care of Marley at literally a days notice and was flexible with extending the stay too! She updated me regularly with pictures and videos and she kept Marley super happy throughout the stay. Marely had never stayed away from me for so long and is usually a bit clingy but I could see that he was super happy throughout the stay from the videos Jayla shared. She trained him, groomed him and fed him as per his requirement. I was super happy with the experience and would definitely choose Jayla in the future too. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my precious boy!”

I would absolutely trust her to watch him again.”

About: I am currently studying Chemistry, which requires me to be detail oriented and have patience. I will be able to guarantee both a unique and dedicated care to your pet, and hopefully create a bond with them! I love every cat like it is my own, so I will also make sure to have communication with you on any needs or concerns you may have for your pet. I’ve taken care of my own cat daily for the last 7 years. In addition, I have also helped out neighbors and family friends with their cats aswell. One household had 2 cats, so I am able to handle multiple pets and one household had a senior cat. I am good at reading a cat’s body language and overall love to lend a helping hand!
“Emily was great with my cat Layla! She updated me every day with pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better rover experience while I was on vacation.”
“Marilyn was absolutely amazing. Very kind and caring, sent photos and always responded to any text messages. She took great care of our cat. We chose Marilyn because she is a retired nurse and our cat is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. We would definitely use her again and refer her to her others in need of pet care. Thanks Marilyn!”
“Amber was so great, easy to communicate with and very helpful and patient since it was my first time using Rover! Overall it was such an easy and great experience and I will be a repeat customer!”
“Jillian is always lovely with my babies. She gives them lots of attention and brushes my fluffy cat very gently who is always fussy about being brushed.”
About: I have been an animal advocate since I was volunteering at the PSPCA during my childhood. I’m a former Humane Police Officer in Philadelphia. I’m a very experienced with pretty much any animal. Friendly and caring.
“Julie did a wonderful job looking after our cat, Felix. He was shy with her initially, which we expected. But he warmed up to her as she fed him and played with him. Julie provided great photos and videos, which went a long way to comfort us pet parents missing our baby!”
“2nd time booking with Haley and once again she was amazing. My moms dementia has progressed and we took in a new cat after I booked with Haley so I asked her last minute if she could feed the new one and just check on my moms pets and she had no issues doing so. She is worth every penny and more. Thank you Haley!!!”
“Christine is wonderful. She not only feeds & scoops the litter, but takes the time to play and pet my Sam. It makes me so happy to know that he is being loved and care for while I'm away.”
About: I have had a cat in my life since birth, and since they make my life better for being in it, I decided to do my homework to make sure I could be giving them the quality of life they deserve. The one in the picture is my pandemic baby, who I’ve had since 6 weeks old, named Tabby. Tabby is my pride and joy, and I will admit I’m a little smug about how may professionals have praised her training, especially because it was pretty much entirely led by her. I have taken care of dozens of cats in the last 15 years. Each cat has taught me something, from recognizing the difference between play and aggression to how to give shots. I would love to meet your cat!
“Hardy did a great job looking after my kitties after my usual sitter was traveling. He showed up on time and was great at communicating. I got daily updates on my kitties and everyone was happy and healthy when I returned. Happy to have Hardy housesit again, I had complete peace of mind!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love every type breed and size. I am the go to friend when a friend needs someone to come let their dogs out or watch them over a weekend. I have a 3 year old Pitt/Staffy that I rescued when he was very young. I work 4 days a week, which I will typically block off, but am home several times for walks and care. If needing days covered outside my availability, given it would be a good fit and pickup/dropoff works with my schedule, I can try to accommodate. I block off any time I’ll be out of town and mainly just chill at home with my own pitty otherwise. We go on daily walks for the needed exercise and energy burn. My apartment is smaller but we have a great neighborhood to walk in. We have Pennypack park I go to for walks frequently and visit other outdoor dog parks in Jersey once a weekend. I have an extra crate if it’s needed and lots of toys.
About: Hello pet parents! I'm Danni and I absolutely love everything about dogs. They're so cute, sweet and playful! I've had a dog all my life until recently (apartment restrictions) and they have been various sizes and breeds. I have also been a dog walker and sitter for a company that gave me experience handling and interacting with shelter and elderly dogs; I also have experience giving oral tablet medication at specified times. I understand that not every dog has come from a happy home and I will put an effort into earning their trust (I've done so with two shelter dogs with severe anxiety and I love them) because I know that it will mean so much in the long run. Other than long walks on sunny days, I love playing with your pup's favorite toy and fetch is my favorite game. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

“Joy was very communicative and patient with my cat Simba who has never been outside of the house except to go to the vet. I am so grateful to her having the availability and understanding his needs.”
About: I absolutely love taking care of pet, especially with dogs and puppies. my experience came from taking care of my own pup since I was 10. My skill included potty training/ basic training and teaching them tricks. I enjoy spending time with pets, cuddling with them, and taking long walks. I spend majority of my free time hanging out with my dog and going on date with her haha. When I was younger, I would always volunteer when there are opportunities to help taking care of other people's pets because how could I not, they’re adorable!! Best part of being a pet sitter for me is the pleasure of appreciation is their of love and care! There's never too much love for these little guys! I am quite free, I work on my own schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to care for you pet and giving them my full attention I have a fenced yard so they can go out and enjoy the sun and when going to walk, i would make sure to double check their leash

“Tina was amazing with my Stella! She wasn’t very social before but Tina helped her out of her shell. Now she gets along with even cats! I was nervous before, but Tina was so quick to respond with pictures and updates. I can’t wait for Stella to be in her care again.”
About: Over two decades of working in pet sitting mainly through small local set ups. Through Rover, I am infusing my creative side to make unique story driven portraits for animal loving families! Can do early morning or late night walks, then can help a puppy with frequent potty breaks. I have an outdoor space of my own, and a backyard with a doggy potty station. My apartment is on the 3rd floor, with 2 cats. My home multiple security features in the common area, and in the home. Personally willing to make a detailed list of events from their stay, and back it up with photos and videos.
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
About: I love dogs, especially the ones that may not be the best walkers and best trained. My 15 year old shiba recently passed and I miss taking walks and caring for him daily. I have also lived with a variety of higher-energy, larger dogs who've needed more help in training and runs. I am available to help if your hours are long or in off times (I do actually work a full-time remote job and am seeking this out because I would love to spend more time with more dogs and dog owners), and would love to spend time with your pup for whatever his or her needs may be (even if that just means keeping treats on me at all times)! Less of a capitalistic enterprise, and more of a desire to hang out with cool dogs. Full-time work from home, so I am available all day to play with and and walk your little dog! Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it. Lots of walks and supervision until we trust eachother enough for free roams inside. Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it.

I felt comfortable right away knowing my pup was in good hands! Very trustworthy and reliable you can deff count on her to take good care of your pet!!”
“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. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”
About: At home we have always had pets and that is why I have experience in their care. I have also taken care of relatives' pets from birth until they have become adults. Caring for pets is a central part of my daily routine. I dedicate my time fully to providing attentive, loving care through this platform. I plan my schedule to ensure each pet receives proper attention, exercise, and companionship every day. Pets in my care are always supervised and treated like family. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure at all times.
About: Hi! I’ve had pets all my life and now have my own friendly dog. I have a degree in veterinary medicine. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I offer a calm, pet-friendly home, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. My dog enjoys company, so your pup won’t feel lonely! I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and give medications if needed. I care for every animal like they’re part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Every day I go for a walk with my dog — it’s a part of our day we all enjoy. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I take good care of my own dog by regularly washing her, trimming her nails, cleaning her ears and teeth when needed, and making sure she stays fresh and comfortable. I also give her deworming tablets on a regular schedule to keep her healthy. I pay close attention to hygiene and health to ensure pets feel their best.
“Douglas and Secylia are Amazing! 🐾 It's like dropping off my pup with family. They’re super friendly and professional. My dog’s face says it all when he sees them! 🥰 And the pics they take? Mind-blowing! 📸 Can’t recommend them enough! ⭐️”
“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.”

“Hardy and his daughter were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the very first moment, they made sure Ziggy felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Hardy was so communicative — he called me with updates and sent pictures throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind. What really stood out is that this was a last-minute request, and Hardy came through without hesitation. Ziggy genuinely enjoyed every moment of his stay. Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”

“Emily was great! Truly a lifesaver. I needed a walker last minute, my normal dog walker wasn’t available. After reading all her reviews I messaged her to find out if she was available the next day. She sent pictures and updated me throughout the visit. It was hot out so after the walk she hung out with Luna for the 30 minutes. Will definitely use her again and recommend her. Thanks again Emily!”
About: Growing up around all types of animals helped me develop my current love for them! I’m an aspiring veterinary student that would love to get more experience :) I currently take care of my own dogs at home, while also have taken care of cats numerous times! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was born, this comes naturally to me. I care for pets like they’re my own, giving them the love and care that I would if it were in my own home. Every animal deserves kindness!
“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”
“Marilyn is extremely reliable. She communicates well and my 9 month old puppy loves her. We’ve hired Marilyn for 30 minute walks and she always walks him longer. She’s truly a gem!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover providing dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like family while respecting their unique routines, personalities, and comfort needs. As a licensed esthetician, I’m naturally patient, detail-oriented and committed to creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I understand how important routines are, so I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality. I have experience caring for my own cats, as well as pet sitting for family and friends’ dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, overnight care, potty breaks, and litter box cleaning. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work 3–4 days a week as a licensed esthetician at Glowbar in Rittenhouse, with shifts typically starting around 2:30 PM, though my schedule can vary slightly week to week. Because of this, I have consistent availability in the mornings, earlier afternoons and on my days off to dedicate to pet care services like walks and drop-ins when needed. I’m very organized and intentional about managing my time, so I’m able to plan my pet care bookings around my work schedule to ensure each pet gets my full attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owner is away. I take the time to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, litter box care, playtime, and any specific preferences the pet may have. I approach each visit with patience, calm energy, and attention to detail. I understand that pets can be sensitive to change, so I move at their pace and focus on building trust so they feel secure with me. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would my own. I keep everything clean and organized, make sure doors are secured, and always leave the space as I found it. I’m very mindful of safety, including checking water bowls, ensuring pets are comfortable before leaving, and giving updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to make both the pet and the owner feel completely at ease and genuinely cared for.
“Victoria is very reliable and communicative! She was also very accommodating with some unforeseen changes to the plan. I would HIGHLY recommend her, and will certainly book her again in the future!”
“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”
“Brandon was excellent! Arranged a meet & greet beforehand and my dog Stone was a fan from the first second. Stone was super happy and Brandon was a factor in that. Thx!!”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. Right now I have one but at times I have had three. I worked at a veterinary hospital as a teenager. Over the years friends and family have entrusted me to watch, feed, and care for their dogs. I have had puppies up to elderly dogs. I currently work full time, we have a fairly large yard so I take my dog out twice in the morning. I take him out in the yard when I return home. I take him for a walk after dinner(we call it an adventure!). On the weekends, he loves to go to the park or the beach in the morning. I have a fenced yard. We have a house at the shore so he enjoys going there or to the park depending on the agenda. I take him to the vet appts and my wife and I alternate taking him to the groomers
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.
“Danielle has been great! She walks my chihuahua/terrier puppy 4 days a week and handles my 8 year old Tree Walker Coonhound with care. Danielle is always responsive and has always been flexible when things came up.”

We have taken care of a few dogs while their owners were on vacation. We absolutely love it. A dogs unconditional love is the best feeling.

About: Hi. My name is April and I always had dogs in my life. I personally own dogs and cats and I love every single one of them. Animals need love and to feel safe. I have experience pet sitting and walking. I know how important it is to give our fur babies everything they need to feel loved and happy. I have personally have given medicines in case you baby needs a little extra love. I love cuddling, playing and just enjoy time with these babies. If you have cats as well as dogs I have no problem taking care of them as well. I also have experience with dogs that are energized like a lab and dogs that have anxiety like my Chihuahua. I am here to help and make sure your babies are well taken care of. I currently work a full time job but I have a flexible schedule so there is plenty of time for playful pups and lovable cats. I do not board animals because of my currently living situation. I also believe it is better for the pets to remain in their own environment for a pet sitting.
About: I treat every pet as if it were my own. I’ve owed three dogs in the past years , two of which were rescues. I worked at a greyhound shelter in the past. I grew up with a cat as child and always been drawn to animals. My house is pet friendly and is a three story row house with a fenced in yard, on a quiet block. I love taking care of animals and will make sure your pet is treated with love and respect! My dog is a friendly and playful Jack Russell mix who loves his walks. My goal is to provide love and company for your pet when you can’t be with them. Whenever I go to someone’s house with pets, they instantly become my best friend!

I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”

I had to travel out of the country because of an unexpected issue for a month and she was ready to take care of Marley at literally a days notice and was flexible with extending the stay too!

Marely had never stayed away from me for so long and is usually a bit clingy but I could see that he was super happy throughout the stay from the videos Jayla shared.

“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.”
“Very attentive, and i got updates regularly. He was very happy coming home, which tells me that he was well taken care of, and loved. Glad he had fun, would book again and would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter in the area. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Hardy, is my go to sitter for Simba. He contacted me frequently and reached out when he had some concerns about a matter. He definitely deserves his high rating!”
About: Long-time Dog Lover and Owner Here! I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, ranging from Beagles to Pits but I love all breeds of dogs. Over the years I’ve done lots of dog sitting for friends and family and am always up for some good play time and cuddle time with doggos. I’m experienced with administering medication to dogs and cats. I’m also a quick learner and will be very mindful about particular requests in caring for your dog. I love to walk all over the city and look forward to taking your fur babies along with me!. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your pups with lots of love! Note: Unfortunately, I cannot care for or accommodate cats as I am highly allergic :( I currently work mornings until 2pm and live close to work so I have full afternoons and evenings available for your fur baby. I’m also off on weekends and have open availability. I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I do have a 5-year-old child but she has been around dogs and is very kind and gentle with them. However, your dog must be ok with small children. I also live in a neighborhood with wide sidewalks and a nearby playground making it super easy to walk your dog. I also have a car so I can easily drive to places in the area to for drop-in visits and dog sitting.
“Jacob was great. Kobe can have a bit of separation anxiety in new situations but Jacob kept us informed the entire time of his progress. Would definitely recommend Jacob and would book his services in the future.”
“Leanne was just wonderful. She was easy to work with and took great care walking and feeding Kolbie. This was the 1st time Kolbie stayed with anyone and she came home relaxed.”
“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter for my 9 month old puppy Maggie Mae. Justine was everything I could ask for in a sitter. She took the time to meet us all (me, my husband, and Maggie) before we committed. We were able to see where Maggie would be staying and the two got along wonderfully from the first minute. I could tell that Justine was a professional, and yet so very sensitive to our concerns, worries, and special eating directions. She communicated to us during the week she watched our little puppy, sending a couple pics. Justine also replied in a very timely manner whenever I reached out to her. I will definitely ask Justine to watch Maggie again whenever we need a sitter next.”
“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.”
“Katie and Marco did an amazing job with our sweet but quirky old dog. Frequent photo updates and he was a happy, happy pooch when we picked him up. Thank you Katie!!!”
“Mary was awesome! She and her family loved my dog as if she were their own dog. She sent plenty of updates and photos. It felt so good to know my dog was well taken care of while we were away.”
“Becky and Travis were perfect. It was our first time having someone “board” Etta. We only had a couple days to find someone, and they were willing to squeeze in a meet and greet to help ease our minds. It was evident through photos and texts that Etta was having an amazing time with Becky, Travis, and their pups- and being treated with care and love. She was even sent home with a handmade bandana! We’re so thankful!”
“If anyone is ever looking for a dog sitting service I would highly recommend Douglas F. I have never been apart from Rey (my dog) in six years. Douglas for 4 day sent me pictures and continued updates throughout my vacation. He treated Rey as if she were his own. I could not be more thankful for Douglas putting my mind at ease during this first experience.”
“iris was great. It was our first time using Rover and was a great first experience for us. Brisket came back happy and based on the pictures we were sent look like he had so much fun. Thank you again!”
“Jaggu had exceptional time with Cindy. She was attentive to Jaggu, cared for Jaggu like her own pet and she send us a lot of pictures which was relief seeing Jaggu happy. First trip where I was not worried about Jaggu. She is going to be our go to person here onwards 😀”
