Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alleghany West

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Alleghany West
“We were so glad that we booked with Rhea! She sent updates, photos or short videos each day, and she didn't hesitate to write to us with questions. She has a clean apartment, too, and she clearly enjoyed taking care of our dog! In addition, her dog is also a sweet guy. We appreciate that she doesn't take too many dogs at one time. We definitely recommend her!!”

“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!”


“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!”


“Nicole was a great surrogate mom for chaos while we went away for the weekend. She sent pictures and updates regularly, and tried lots of solutions to get him to eat when he wasn't in the mood. We'd definitely leave our old dog with her again!”

“Kristina was so patient and sweet with Olive, who can be nervous and shy. By day 2, Kristina was sending us pictures of Olive belly up and happily napping next to Kristina on the couch and Olive completely made herself at home. Olive’s stay overlapped with a major heatwave, and Kristina made sure to get Olive out early in the AM for a nice walk each morning before it got too hot. I would definitely recommend Kristina for attentive and loving care for your pet!”

“Dakota seemed so comfortable which is rare for him because he’s super anxious and old and set in his ways! I’m so grateful for Christin and I received pictures along the way and I will definitely be rebooking!!”

“Eric and Raz are our favorite dog sitters. They clearly love and care about our dog and we always feel 100% confident that she is well cared for with them. They give her lots of cuddles and have a good sense of her needs. It’s always a pleasure.”

“My Lab puppy, Juni, had a wonderful time at Jennifer's place. It's such a nice set up for dogs and Juni was thrilled to be able to run all over the yard. They provide excellent care, and we'll definitely be repeat customers!”

“Chazz was so great! He instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my dog Zelda overnight for the first time and when I picked her up, she was calm and happy. I’d book again for sure.”

“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!”

“Kerry was such a great find! Totally saved the day taking care of our dog after 6 hours on the road to Alexandria. Kerry was responsive and clearly loves dogs, not deterred by their quirky behaviors….theirs or their owners. Thank you so much! We hope to book time when we visit again!”

“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”

“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”


“Karl had a wonderful time with Yulia! Finding a good dog sitter includes the challenge of (1) finding the right person, and (2) finding the right environment for your dog. Yulia is the whole package! She asked great questions ahead of his stay in order to be prepared (and to prepare us), we had a great meet-and-greet ahead of the stay as first time clients, she shared clear instructions on how to prepare for boarding (what to bring and not bring, etc.), communicated expectations around photos/updates and routines, and clearly loves caring for dogs. She replies quickly and is very punctual. My dog Karl can be nervous or shy, and he was right at home and very comfortable from the very first day. He came back home happy and totally stress-free. He had a wonderful time, and I would highly recommend Yulia to anyone looking for a professional, kind, high-quality boarding experience.”

“Nicolle is responsible and was great at communicating up til and during Goji’s stay. Our dog has some anxiety and yet he seemed to settle in at Nicolle’s place very quickly. Will definitely book with Nicolle again!”

“Tim was very responsive and took great care of Yuna. He was open to a last minute meet & greet and provided lots of photos of our pup throughout the day. We really appreciate his attention to her and would book with him again!”

“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!”

“Very friendly and sent tons of pictures. Our little guy seemed like he had a great time and came home completely exhausted. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks!”

“Shakira did so much more for our dogs than I ever expected. She took amazing care of them and showered them with love. Every day, she updated me with several photos and shared their daily activities. Even our dogs didn’t want to leave her when it was time to go. If I ever need someone to watch over my dogs again, I would absolutely choose Shakira. She is truly one of the most amazing sitters I’ve ever met.”

“Gabby was responsive, very knowledgeable about cats, and kept me up to date with tons of pictures of my baby. Would definitely recommend booking with her!”


“Sean was outstanding. Great communication with quick replies! He definitely went above and beyond for us. Our cats were well taken care of. We had a lot of cats to keep track of and he did great making sure everything was in order. We have a hard time trusting people to properly care for our pets and we would trust Sean over and over again.”


“Yajing did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat! She came to my home as scheduled, made sure my cat was properly fed, and spent quality time playing and interacting with her. It was clear that she truly cares about animals and pays close attention to their needs. She is incredibly patient, kind, and gentle, which immediately put both me and my cat at ease. I felt completely comfortable and reassured knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet feeder, and I would definitely book her again in the future.”


“Emily has sat for us a number of times and she is the best rover we've had! She is very responsible and thinks not just about feeding & scooping litter but thinks ahead to what kind of symptoms to watch out for after a procedure or where the cat carrier would be in case of emergency. She goes above & beyond the expectations of a regular sitter & is very communicative.”


“Isabel is a wonderful pet sitter and we always feel we can rely on them and trust them that they will take the best care of our cat. They are a great communicator and always provide detailed visit updates. Looking forward to reaching out to them again in the future!”
“Amy was so kind and thoughtful when watching my cat Reggie! She is so down to earth and a total animal person. She gave me updates every day when she’d drop by with photos so I wouldn’t worry :) I highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone trustworthy to watch their pets!”

“Danielle is everything you want in a pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, was Quick to reply, punctual, great update/ pictures and communication I would absolutely recommend her 100%”

“Lauren was great, super responsive and willing to book a last minute drop-in. Also appreciated her patience when she had some issues trying to get into the house Would definitely book again and recommend!”


“I’ve hired Tina to care for my cats twice now and both times she’s been awesome. So good about communicating, and she always takes such good care of my fur babies while I’m gone!”


“Taylor is a true rockstar! After a series of cat sitters became ill and couldn’t help me with my cat she stepped in last minute to help with one not so friendly senior cat that requires medicine as well as my judge-ee younger cat. Not only did she take good care of my cats and my home, she also provided quite humorous narratives during each of her visits. I would highly recommend Taylor!”

“Christina did a great job looking after my cats while we were away. I have a few and they can be wild. She was reliable, consistent and prompt communicator. My cats were all happy when we got back.”

“Amazing. Extra effort to get into my building and even was patient with me figuring it out. Seems super caring and always included head pats and belly scratches. Fed him, medicated him and let him out with no worries from me at all. Very happy to have had her help this week.”


“Maria was amazing with Tobu. She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel really comfortable while I was away. She sent great updates, photos, and videos during each visit, and it was clear Tobu warmed up to her quickly. He’s usually shy with new people, so seeing him playing, purring, and comfortable with her made me really happy. She also followed the feeding instructions and handled everything smoothly. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”


“Liam was extraordinary with my cat! He was an excellent communicator, gave me regular updates, followed all the necessary instructions (ie: diet, water, and also the antibiotic medications she needed to take). He was also really accommodating to my schedule for the pickup & drop off, which was really helpful during this current weather! I would highly recommend Liam to anyone needing to leave their beloved pet in great hands! Thanks Liam!”


“Yulia and Kevin are awesome! Booked them to check in on my cat while I was away. Very friendly, punctual and thorough. They definitely make sure you know they are taking great care of your pet. Highly recommend and will book again should the need arise.”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and am currently a proud cat mom to three wonderful cats, with varying personalities and needs, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll take the time to earn their trust and care for them in the way that makes them feel safest and most comfortable. I’ve cared for my own cats for years, as well as cats for friends, family, and neighbors during vacations and extended trips. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medication, cleaning litter boxes, feeding special diets, and providing enrichment, playtime, and cuddles (only if they want them!). My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and loved until you’re home again, while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alleghany West
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Rhea went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt comfortable, loved, and cared for while I was away. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. It was clear my pet was in great hands and truly enjoyed their time. I highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Yulia and Kevin were awesome. It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone besides family and they made it so easy and comfortable! They kept us updated on how she was doing with pictures and videos the whole time. Will 100% leave Penny with them again. Thank you Yulia and Kevin!!”


“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 have one of those dogs that can open doors, turn on the radio and open her crate. She’s just so independent and intelligent that most sitters are not up for that kind of challenge. Kiara is not one who is easily overwhelmed by all that. She was amazing with both of my dogs while with the loss of a family member. Desi (GSD, cattle dog and pittie) and Biggie smalls (old English bulldog) are in love with her. She is responsible, prompt, compassionate, observant and most importantly loves dogs. I feel blessed to have her watch my kids. Every time I started to wonder how they were doing I got a video or a picture or just a message saying what they were up to.”

I have worked at an animal rescue, dog shelter, and have become a foster for over 200+ dogs and puppies. Currently work from home full time and care for my dogs and puppies. My day typically starts around 6:45am/7:45(at the latest) I am able to walk them, take them to my neighborhood dog park, do training, socializing and of course play/loving time. Since i am home all day i do offer to take non-potty trained dogs i will just need a heads up that they are not potty trained yet. I have had alot of experience with different temperaments, health conditions, behavioral issues, and breeds please give me notice ahead of time and I will accommodate for what will be best for you fur baby. I do have 2 dogs of my own which are very dog friendly of all sizes and ages. If you are not comfortable with your baby cross interacting NO PROBLEM! They will be in a complete different room and will get plenty of water, walks, potty breaks, and play time! I currently work from home so I am home all day to care for any and all fur babies. I currently run off of a tight schedule starting between 6:45-7:30am going up until around 11pm typically. I make sure each dog is introduced properly. Everyone must be walked on a leash and collar and/or harness at all times outside of my home. Everyone is fed in a crate or separate room unless litter mates.
“Miles had a great time with Christie, Drew, and their pup Margot for daycare! They sent plenty of updates and photos and I could tell Miles was having a lot of fun. They were super responsive and flexible on pickup time. Miles came home tired and happy. Highly recommend Christie and Drew!!”

“Yuhan was able to care for my corgi Luna as I made a last minute daycare request. When I picked up Luna she looked so happy that she was smiling all night. That’s my biggest indicator that Yuhan cared for my fur baby as I would at home.”

“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.”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! We stayed in Philly for a couple days and she took great care of our pup while we were out exploring! She made us feel so comfortable knowing that our buddy was safe and happy. They went on lots of walks and had lots of snuggles and she was great about updating us every step of the way! She also sent some pretty fantastic pictures. We will absolutely book Sarah next time we’re in town and are so appreciative of her! Also, her doggy Harry Nilsson is such a sweetheart and was a great companion for our dog!”

“Don’t hesitate to book with Samantha!! I was new to the neighborhood and had a very busy week, and she just made everything so much easier by providing reliable daily care for my pup!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors, but I also have volunteer as a Day Adventurer at ACCT. This has given me invaluable experience with diverse temperaments and leash-handling for dogs of all sizes. I grew up with dogs, but don’t currently have one of my own. Whether your dog requires a strict crate schedule, specific walk times, or high-energy exercise, I am happy to do whatever they need to feel safe and enjoy their time while your away. Availability: I recently ended employment at Penn as a Project Manger in June and currently enjoying summer- working from home on applications so I am ideally suited for dogs who enjoy a morning and evening "adventure" with a calm midday nap! My apartment is adjacent to park and SRT. I currently work full time as a research project manager at Penn M-F 9-5 with occasional WFH. I am free weekends for adventures with your pup. My apartment is neat and your dog can be free to roam or if has a certain crate schedule happy to follow. Right outside my apartment is a park with lots of green space and close to schuylkill river trail.
“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!”

“Najeara is incredible! She was punctual, kind, respectful and professional. I could not have chosen a better person to take care of Prince. So long as she's offering her services on Rover, I'll continue to book her!”

“Christopher was amazing as usual! He goes above and beyond and takes my dog for more/longer walks than required, and sends consistent, detailed updates. You can't go wrong with Christopher!”

About: Having grown up with a dog in the home, I love the little moments of joy with our canine friends but also understand the attention and care each dog needs. Whether your pet is rambunctious and playful or needs more gentle care, let me know how I can best make them comfortable and happy. My availability varies seasonally; I'm an educator, so normally my weekday availability is limited to late afternoons and evenings. Weekends are very clear and flexible for me. In the summer, my schedule is wide open, so feel free to book me for those much-needed summer vacations! When I am dropping in to your place or staying to house sit, I approach your pet -- especially one who's new to me -- with care and gentleness. I double-check instructions each day to make sure I provide top-quality care.

I take the time to earn each pet’s trust, keep a close eye on their behavior, and maintain a clean, secure environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’m a dog mom of two - that don’t like other dogs/kids, so I have experience with challenging walks.

My apartment complex has a great green area around the building where I can walk my babies when they visit me. They are allowed on the bed/couch, but they like to sunbath on the fluffy carpet as well. They have a separate area in the dining room so they have space to eat peacefully. My little one also likes to hide with his treats, especially under the bed or table:) I make sure they get enough walks, even when their stomach is bad in the middle of the night. I also like to take them to the Wissahickon park, they love car rides. I would make sure other babies feel comfortable just like mines / or to create a safe and comfortable environment with lots of attention.

I strictly follow established feeding schedules and ensure fresh water is always available.

Whether it’s playing fetch or using interactive toys, I make sure the pets get the physical and mental stimulation they need to stay happy while their owners are away.Beyond pet care, I am happy to help with light household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and ensuring all pet areas are kept clean and tidy.

About: Hi, my name is Shandara. I live in Roxborough and I have a Standard poodle named Biscotti. Biscotti and I love to go on long walks and explore the neighborhood. If you live in the area, you’ve probably seen us around! Biscotti is so adorable and we love to try fun haircuts, so he tends to attract a lot of attention. I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish. I’ve had my own dog now for 5 years and I’ve been trusted by many family members and friends to care for their pets. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the struggle and anxiety that come with needing to find the right care. We all hope for someone responsible and loving who will make our pet feel right at home. My hope is to be that person for you. My goal is to provide exceptional care so you can enjoy your time away knowing that your loved one is in good hands. I recently left my 9-5 in Investment Operations to pursue my dreams of working for myself. I’m home all day, every day of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your fur baby. Finding the right caretaker is an investment and you can rest assured you’re making the right decision with me! I have a small fenced in yard and one friendly dog who would be happy to keep your fur baby company. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet is safe & comfortable whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“Mooney had a wonderful stay with John. We got frequent updates as always and mooney got to spend healthy supervised playtime with John’s wonderful dog Parker, which was great for Mooney’s socialization. John kept us posted on Mooney’s behavior (good and bad both) and we felt he was safe and happy the whole time. Thanks again John.”

“Jasmine was great with our two dogs while we were out of town. She had amazing communication during the visit and took great care of them. They also had a great time playing with her dog. Highly recommend!”

“Our Riley has stayed with Danielle now on 3 or 4 occasions. Danielle is so flexible on drop off and pick up. She also makes sure Riley gets her meds daily. Riley is always happy to go to Danielle’s house and spend time with Danielle’s dog, Jones. He is such a sweet heart.”

“Overall, a great experience having Lauren take care of my senior pooch. After our initial meeting together, I felt I could rest easy and trust leaving Trudy with her for a few days. She’s very attentive, professional, careful and kept me up to date on how Trudy was with plenty of photos and updates. I would not hesitate for a second to contact her again for Boarding in the future. I know my dog would feel at home and I could enjoy my time apart with zero concerns or worries. Thanks again Lauren!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
