Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chestnut Hill
“Mary was an incredible sitter. She shared daily updates, photos and videos so I was assured that my dog, Lyle, was not only being cared for, but being spoiled! Lyle got multiple daily walks, special treats, toys, and ample snuggles. I cannot recommend Mary and her husband enough! Can’t wait to rebook with them next time we need care for our sweet boy!”
“Opal and Ollie had a great boarding experience with Jennifer and her family. I’ve already rebooked with her for their next boarding. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“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!”
“Rebecca watched my 9 year old Aussie shepherd for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive to her needs and provided lots of updates/pictures during the stay. I was anxious leaving my pup away for so long but Rebecca made my entire trip stress free by how well she cared for my dog! Will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Yuhan took very good care of our Whoopie Pie. She sent photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and always replied quickly. Would definitely recommend. Thanks a lot! :)”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“We love Danielle, Wade, and especially Jones. They take great care of our dog and send us daily updates. They are great communicators. Jones is the sweetest golden retriever and shares all of his toys and even his bed with our girl. Our dog is highly anxious, but Jones helps her feel safe.”
“Mel was amazing with our pup! Yumi boarded overnight with her and her dog, they matched energies so well and had a great time together. Mel sent tons of pictures and kept us up to date on her eating habits since we have a pup with a sensitive tum. Would definitely recommend Mel and book again!”
“Nicolle, care and pictures of my dog Spot made my stay away from him enjoyable. First time we were separated a long period of time. Will gladly as for Nicolle again. Will gladly recommend Rover to family and friends. My daughter n law recommended, glad she did. Gave tip directly to Nicolle when picked up Spot. Didn't know to use system.”
“What an amazing boarding experience! Mirit and Shava took wonderful care of my Khali. They sent pictures and updates which provided peace of mind and also showed me how happy Khali was in their home. I absolutely will book again. Highly recommend!!!”
“Absolutely marvellous! Electra and Crescent were an absolute delight to meet, and they treated our peewees with such care. Our original plans were for just boarding our little dog (which they did armirably!), but we couldn’t find anyone to care for our cats, or to provide medication to one with diabetes. Wellsiree, they went above and beyond, and kept us up to date with daily updates in photo and video. Our little dog adored staying with them, she got lots of cuddles and lots of exercise! And our cats were so well looked after they were spoiled rotten. We can’t say enough great things about this wonderful couple. They’re our first choice for excellent care and attention of our peewees.”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Fran and Curtis watched our not quite 2 year old golden retriever for several days. They made her feel right at home. Walks in the park and visits to the dog park helped our pup expend all her energy. They communicated with us on a regular basis so we knew our pup was happy and comfortable. We will definitely us Fran and Curtis to watch our dog again in the future.”
“Emelie took great care of our dog Stanley for his first night away from us. She let us do a meet and greet and was able to answer our questions ahead of the stay. There were a couple of other dogs there which was great for Stanley, who is a very social pup. Her house is set up well for the dogs with a big yard and different rooms inside. We plan to bring Stanley back!”
“Gabby and her family are amazing! Our dog Lola was so relaxed and happy to spend over a week there. Even in the photos we could see how happy she was. Gabby sent us a great update every day, took Lola on lots of walks, and asked a lot of questions about how best to care for her.”

Cat caregivers near you - Chestnut Hill
“Sarah is detail oriented, communicative, and has an intuitive approach to caring for pets (in my case, cats). I have one social and one fearful cat, and after just three short visits she was already beginning to win over the fearful one. She sent photos during every visit and provided meaningful updates. I so appreciate her attentiveness and making both my cats and me feel comfortable while in separate places. Thank you Sarah!”
“Haeley was a great communicator and took care of my boys while I was away! They seemed pretty happy with her and I could tell the cats enjoyed her company. :)”
About: What sets me apart is my gentle, patient approach to cat care and my understanding that every cat has a unique personality. I respect their space, body language, and routines, whether they are playful, shy, or independent. I am comfortable providing feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship on their terms without forcing interaction. I also make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos so they feel confident and connected while away.
“Amelia was wonderful taking care of our cat, Ari, while we were away on our trip! She kept us informed of how he was doing and sent cute pictures of him each day. The house and house plants were also in great condition upon our retuirn. High recommendations for Amelia!”
“Danielle was amazing. Super communicative and had no issue medicating my little brat of a feline friend. She even went ahead and watered my plants. Highly recommend booking her!”
“This was my first time ever using a service to care for my cat and the first time leaving my cat for a week. Which was a big deal for a new pet parent! Nikki was amazing. She was thorough in gathering care instructions for Lil Sweetie, prompt with her check-ins, and sent detailed visit cards with cute pics of my kitty so I could keep in touch while I was away and missing her. I felt completely at ease knowing Sweetie was in the care of Nikki. I will definitely be booking Nikki again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Nikki!”
About: I have experience caring for both kittens and adult cats. I’ve helped with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for a kitten in my home, which included plenty of playtime and attention since kittens definitely keep you busy! I’m comfortable following each cat’s normal routine and giving them the space or attention they prefer.
“Courtney was fantastic! The updates I received from her drop-in visits were so detailed and thorough. Communication was proactive in terms of scheduling/asking any questions about care instructions. She’ll take great care of your pets!”
“This was my very first experience using Rover and also my very first time leaving my pet home while I took a trip. Marketa made this a very easy experience and she was very communicative and I also appreciate that she met Nami my cat in person and that I saw that she had a good feel for her and she knew how to make her feel comfortable while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and also use her again for any future trips that I take.”
“Julia was so great with my shy and anxious older cat. He needs to be coaxed to eat and she did a great job of getting him to eat. I really appreciate the photos and texts she sent to ease my mind about how my fur babies were doing. I will definitely be booking with Julia again on my next trip. Thank you, Julia!”
“Madeline is absolutely amazing and took such good care of our Gritty kitty. She was super quick and responsive and took the best pictures. Very appreciative of her!”
“On Kendra's first visit, She literally went through a methodical checklist of things to ask to get to know out cat, his needs, and our preferences, even including plant watering and bringing in packages. She's incredibly thorough and leaves detailed pictures and feedback and also is just super nice and fun!”
“Ryan is always super attentive, communicative, and professional. He takes great care of our pets and leaves the house spotless. He has housesit and cared for our animals on multiple occasions, even for a very short notice long trip due to a family emergency. We are so appreciative of his help and the peace of mind! Highly recommend!”
“Dana always takes great care of Oliver! He sends thorough daily updates and always brings our packages in, without us even asking. We have used Dana multiple times and plan to book him again in the future!”
“Rebecca was AMAZING taking care of my cats Ben and Jerry while I was on vacation. So grateful to have peace of mind while I was away that she was looking after them. She provided photos and updates in a timely manner and was great to work with. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!!”

Our house has great temperatures inside and outside I am at home most of the time, since I work from home. I can spent a lot of time with pets. Our neighborhood (Manayunk) is very safe and not noisy. I can host pets, we have a large patio. I have security cameras un our fenced patio. I also have a doggie door, so pets can exit/enter on their own.

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I have dogs, cats, pet rats, snakes, geckos, and frogs. I work with dogs with behavioral issues, sassy snakes, geckos who fling themselves into the air and birds who aren't interested in my company! There's nothing on this planet I can't find a reason to love. I work full time during the day from 11-7 so I am unable to do midday visits, but I am happy to do breakfast and dinner check-ins What type of care I give is catered specifically to the individual animal. Some want cuddles, some want someone to sit nearby and be read to, some just want to eat! I let the animal set the stage of our interactions, I find that it fosters a deeper connection in the long term. This method is applied to the best of my ability when it comes to pets requiring medication as needing medication requires a more active hands on approach
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I got my first dog around age 11 and have had multiple dogs over the years, along with a ferret, hamster, and fish. I’ve also helped care for family members’ dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Animals have always been a big part of my life and continue to be. I truly enjoy being around them and caring for them, and I always joke that one day I’m going to end up with my own little farm because I want every animal I see! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or whatever a pet may need. My daily routine is pretty laid back, so I have the time and flexibility to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I would always talk with the pet parent beforehand about their normal routine, what they’re allowed or not allowed to do, feeding instructions, walks, and any other specific needs. I’m big on following the owner’s instructions, keeping their pet safe and comfortable, and being respectful of their home and belongings.
About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
About: I've been taking care of neighbor's cats and dogs since childhood, including overnight house sitting. I've had cats for most my life and have worked with big and small dogs, young and old, including dogs that need a lot of exercise. I have experience taking care of other domestic mammals like rabbits, chinchillas, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and hedgehogs, as well as exotic birds and reptiles. I'm a big animal over; I majored and worked in wildlife conservation, and am passionate about domestic and wild animals. I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to stay home a lot and be with the pets. I have a car to get to people's homes easily for daytime checkins/walks. Depends on the client's specific needs but usually for housesitting I stay at the house and am home often, so I'm able to give the pets attention and care, and let them out for bathroom breaks and walks regularly as needed. I can do basic household stuff like take out trash, clean up after pets, water plants, whatever is needed.
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.
“Danielle took the time to come meet my shy dog before the day of his walk which was really sweet and helpful for putting me at ease (and him too i’m sure). On the day of the walk, she was very gentle, sweet, and patient with him when he was nervous to come out of his crate for the walk. I highly recommend her for anyone, especially dogs that need an extra sweet and patient walker.”
“Ryan was extremely professional and a great communicator. I have a very sensitive/anxious dog, but I felt at ease knowing she was getting great long walks with a calm confidant walker. I will definitely hire Ryan again next time I leave town! Thanks again!”
“Sarah was great with my two dogs, who took to her right away. My one dog has trust issues and did really well with Sarah! She even noticed a spot on my dogs leg that she wanted me to be aware of. Will definitely use her again.”
“Allyson has been great in supporting our shy and anxious pup. She is very patient with him. She is great with communicating with us about any updates so we don't have to worry while we're away from home.”
About: I am a proud pet parent to two fur babies, a pug and tabby cat. Our pets are important members of our family. Your pet will get the love and care they deserve while you are away. I know the importance of trusting a good pet sitter. I work part-time. I have flexibility in my day as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of availability in the summer as well. I can care for pets in my home. They would be a good playmate for my dog. We have a fenced in yard. My dog loves walks. I would follow your specific instructions when coming into your home.
“I’m so happy that I found Kendra! She’s very reliable, loving to my pup, and detailed at taking notes on Teddy’s likes and dislikes, training cues, and other habits.

“We couldn’t be happier with Rachel! She is incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible and so easy to work with. Communication has always been quick and seamless, and I always know my pups are in great hands. She gives them so much love, attention, and affection. They get plenty of kisses, cuddles, and great walks. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about them, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. I truly appreciate everything she does for my dogs, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional dog walker!”
