“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“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!”
“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. :)”
“Derek was fantastic. Super communicative and it was clear that he truly loved spending time with our pup. That means the world to us. We will definitely book him again!!”
“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!”
“Rhea and her husband were absolutely incredible! They were so accommodating and communicative throughout the entire sitting. They sent constant picture updates, kept me informed about potty breaks, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure my pup was comfortable. Most impressively, they always responded in under a minute—such peace of mind. This was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had on Rover, and I’m so glad we connected. They’re true professionals who are clearly passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable care.”
“Kerry is clearly a true dog lover. She took such excellent care of our senior girl Winnie while we were out of town! Kerry gave Winnie meds, eye drops, carried Winnie up and down her stairs (not an easy feat, Winnie weighs 45lbs!), and gave her so much love and affection. She sent us photos and detailed updates several times a day. We will be planning all of our vacations around when Kerry is available from now on so we know Winnie will be in good hands when we’re out of town!”
“Alexis was great with my dog Sophie! She was kind, very responsive, and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout my dog’s stay with her. I will definitely keep Alexis in mind for any future boarding needs!”
“She was absolutely amazing! She was very easy to communicate with, she gave us frequent updates including pictures and videos. Highly recommend her!”
“Jules and Peter are the absolute best! Our dog Archie loves being with them and going on many nice dog walks with them. We are so grateful and fortunate to have Peter and Jules!”
“Madeline was super kind and fluff sure seemed like she had a great stay with her! I received many photos and updates about how much fluff was enjoying hanging out in Madeline’s yard and going for walks.”
“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!”
About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).
“Above and beyond! Kanade took such excellent care of my dog, and she looked truly happy in the copious amount of pictures that were provided. Kanade asked questions for clarification of care, send a daily recap of how my dog was, and completely put me at ease during my trip. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dogsitter.”
“Peanellopy was GREAT! Skai came home smiling. I know my pup can be very high energy and she also pulls on the leash a bit. She handled skai well and was very communicative! i would boom again”
“Chloe is a phenomenal dogsitter! The whole process was easy, and Chloe herself is a very kind and considerate person. I loved her updates and felt great knowing Gus was in the absolute best of hands during my business trip.”
“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.”
“Deena is fantastic to work with. Great communication, photos and videos show our pup is happy in her space, which is very well set up for dogs of all sizes. Experienced Dane sitters are a little harder to find and she’s a pro! We will be back and are so happy to have someone we can trust to love our boy when we are away.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Faith put me totally at ease. She was very cautious and careful meeting Luna who is skittish meeting new people but soon they were fast friends. I loved seeing the daily pictures of playtime and hearing all was going well; it created such a peace of mind. I will definitely rebook Faith again and would highly recommend her to anyone who has a shy, nervous kitty... Faith knows just what to do!”

About: I have had cats my entire life. I currently have one myself (and will always volunteer to show you photos) and love to spoil her. Cats each have a unique personality and should be taken care of with the same mindset. I would love to take care of your furry (or non furry) friend!

“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“Zyiana, was highly communicative and flexible. I needed doggy daycare for my fur baby in a pinch and she showed up. She provided tons of great photos along with taking my baby on 3 walks”
“John D. helped us last minute and it was perfect. He seemed to really care for our August. He sent pictures and updates and communicated well. Auggy seemed to really enjoy the day he had. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have grown up with a household of dogs ranging from toy size to large breeds. They are family and I will treat them as such! I currently work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pop in for a walk or visit with your pup in your home whenever necessary. I have a dog of my own so I understand the importance of following their specific needs in terms of walking, being crated, needing medication or special food restrictions. I’m happy to understand what your individual dog needs!
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.
“So happy with the entire experience! Samantha took such good care of my Banjo, sent pictures the entire day and kept me updated on how he was doing. I would definitely recommend and will keep her in mind if I need someone to watch Banjo in the future!”
“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! ❤️”
“Jacob was a great sitter… our dog got a long walk, relaxed with his dog. Jacob sent photos and he was so easy to work with. We will definitely use him again soon!”
“Madeline was great. Took good care of my pup, he didn't wanna go when i picked him up! She was great at responding to any questions and even sent me some pics of Fenn enjoying himself at her house.”
“Brian was great! He took care of Kashmere and provided us periodically updates with pictures. It was his first time with Brian so knowing exactly what Kashmere was feeling every hour gave us great comfort and confidence in Brian. Kashmere has never been so happy when we left him with someone.”
“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.”
“Kiara is amazing and definitely recommend her to anyone. She’s so accommodating and so great with my pups. They’re excited to hang out with her! She’s also very communicative and sends numerous updates through out the day. Thank you Kiara!”

“Jovelle is a dream! My dogs LOVED her and got excited when they realized it walk time. She was so helpful and made an unforeseen stressful situation so easy for me!!”
“We had a great time meeting Greg for our first meet and greet/walk. He even made Pinto feel at ease - and that’s a tough sell. We are looking forward to booking future walks and pet sitting with Greg.”
About: Both Catherine and Blake grew up with dogs in the house. We met at grad school at Villanova and are saving up for a pup of our own in Old City. We miss our time with dogs and would love to play with and help care for those in the neighborhood! We also have experience cat sitting in our apartment building. Both Catherine and Blake are work-from- home engineers. Our remote jobs allow us to have a flexible schedule any day! (Morning, lunch, night, anytime) Catherine and Blake live in a small apartment together. It would be best we come visit your pet in home or take them on a walk!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always had pets. I’ve trained, walked, fed, played, and cared for my Shiba Inu from when she was a puppy to her senior days. I help out neighbors with dog-walking and friends often ask me to pet-sit their dog or cats for up to a few weeks at a time. I currently work remotely full-time from 11am-8pm on the weekdays, so I have plenty of time in the morning to go on longer walks and would love an excuse to get outside more! I am also available all day on the weekends to walk our furry friends! :) I always look out for busy streets or sidewalks to avoid that might be overstimulating for some dogs. Finding peaceful routes and ensuring safety of our furry friend is my top priority. If needed, it is never a hassle to avoid other dogs or people during walks if our furry friend is not compatible with others.
“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 .”
“If you would like for your pup to have a 5star experience, Ed is who you call. He went above and beyond to take care of our puppy dog while we were out of town. Ed was on time and had great communication throughout, I would recommend and we will definitely be using him again. Thanks again Ed! Really appreciate you”
“Maddy was so wonderful while walking my dog. We were completely unavailable during the requested time, and Maddy was able to make sure all of my dog’s needs were met! There are so many great photos of the walk, and Maddy made sure to keep my dog safe”
“Helen is the best! She is knowledgeable, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. She provides great updates on walks, and is always responsive and easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable knowing Hoagie is in her care. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Allison is great! She had great communication and gave updates on their time together. Easy to work with and made sure Georgie was well loved! Thank you!”
“Sarah was wonderful with my dog, Bruno. I was in a real bind during the big snowstorm and sent a last-minute request, and she didn’t hesitate to step in despite the uncertainty with the weather. Her communication was fantastic—quick, clear, and reassuring the whole time. Bruno was so really comfortable with her right away. I will definitely be booking with her again. 5 stars!”
“Mason was absolutely wonderful! He walked our dog with such care and reliability — showed up right on time, sent updates along the way, and brought our pup back happy and tired. Even though it was just a one-time walk, you could tell he genuinely loves dogs. Would book again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!”
“Miri made a wonderful first impression on us, and she is doing a great job with my dog, Paco. Miri is positive, friendly and easy to talk to. And she’s very reliable and is always on time. Paco loves his walks, and he demonstrates that by jumping and dancing around with excitement when she arrives. That’s what a mother likes to see! Miri pays attention to him, sends us wonderful pictures of Paco out gallivanting in the wild, and documents his activities and any concerns she has on his Report Card promptly. This effort is appreciated and assures me that he is in good hands with her. Recently his paws hurt from the snow and he did not want to walk further so Miri reported that she even carried him home!! Paco needs some new “Dog Marten’s”. I highly recommend booking with Miri!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine joy I get from caring for them. I grew up in a home with cats, a dog, and even a bunny, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of pets and understand the importance of routines like feeding, litter care, exercise, and lots of attention. Throughout high school, I regularly walked dogs and pet-sat for neighbors, becoming a trusted and familiar face for many families. I stayed connected with them through college and continued pet-sitting whenever I could, which speaks to the relationships and trust I built with both pets and their owners. I’m currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and reliability—qualities I bring into every pet care situation. I’m also very active and walk a lot daily, so I love taking dogs on long walks, playing outside, and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. Above all, I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a current nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent, quality time to pet care throughout the week. I plan my days in a way that gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Because I’m already very active and incorporate daily walks into my routine, caring for pets fits in seamlessly. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and being active, so making sure pets get regular exercise, attention, and companionship is something I naturally prioritize in my day. I always put the pet’s needs first and aim to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that every pet is different, so I closely follow each owner’s instructions when it comes to feeding, exercise, medications, and overall care. I’m very flexible with the types of services I offer. I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home for overnight care, doing drop-in visits, or a combination of both depending on what works best for you and your pet. I can also accommodate bringing smaller pets into my home if that’s preferred and arranged in advance. My goal is to meet each family where they are and provide care that keeps pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Katrina and her partner were amazing with my dog Theo, who can be anxious on walks with new people. I could tell he was at ease and enjoyed his outings. They were very communicative and took adorable photos of him. We will definitely book again!”

“Jasmine did a great job watching my dog, Chianti! She was very flexible and on a very short notice. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and I could tell Chianti was really enjoying her time. She offered to run with her, and had a great dog of her own, Sprinkles, who Chianti really clicked with. We are looking forward to Chianti staying with her again in the future!”
About: I have had 4 rescue dogs all with with either abusive backgrounds or extensive time living on the streets (none of whom currently live with me). I am comfortable walking large dogs up to 100lbs or multiple dogs at once. I have also trained 2 of my younger dogs and am happy to reinforce your dog's training while they are with me. I am a current pre-medicine post-bac student, I volunteer at a homeless shelter and animal shelter, and I do research in the Emergency Department. Note: for boarding on weeknights with pickup Tuesday-Friday morning, pickup needs to be scheduled prior to 8:30am. My apartment is very dog friendly and has a dog run. I also love dogs and am very excited to spend time giving your dogs all the attention they need while with me. I am happy to send pictures and updates as you want!

“Chelsea is a really wonderful pet sitter!! Our dog can be a bit nervous and skeptical of new environments, but he gets so excited every time he goes to Chelsea's. It's always so easy communicating with Chelsea and we love her pups too. Would highly recommend!”
“Hunter is an amazing dog sitter! My dog Stryker had an extended boarding stay there while I traveled for ~2 weeks and he was so well taken care of. I could tell Stryker was comfortable and felt right at home there. That kind of peace of mind when you are away from your pup is priceless. I got lots of pics and Hunter is very responsive. I will definitely be booking Hunter again and highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs!”
“Tim is great! Caring, attentive, and all-around an awesome human being. Was communicative and flexible. Would definitely board any dog with him again in a heartbeat.”
