“Zyiana was amazing!!! What a wonderful dog sitter, she treated my two dogs aka my babies with amazing care, she was wonderful at communication, timely and sent frequent updates and photos which was so reassuring for me!! I would 10/10 recommend Zyiana for any dog sitting needs.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We can’t express how amazing Ginger is! Our pups are both rescues and have their own little quirks and needs. Our Margo is very anxious and attentive, and both pups aren’t the best walkers. Though, Ginger was so incredibly amazing with making sure they were comfortable and worked with them on their tendencies while taking them on wonderful long walks. She was so communicative, sharing pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant the world to us so we knew how things were going. We can’t thank Ginger enough for how caring, friendly, and active she was with our pups!”
“Ferris had a great time staying with Kerry - We got periodic updates with photos and a very detailed report upon pickup. Ferris got a lot of attention and seemed really comfortable at Kerry’s place.”
“I felt that my dog was in great hands and well cared for while I was away. Eric was very responsive and communicated regularly, which gave me peace of mind. He was also flexible and worked well with my travel schedule, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.”
“Kristina was awesome! She sent daily updates and pictures which I really appreciated, took Mika on daily walks, and really made me feel like she gave her special attention and care! We look forward to using Kristina in the future!”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Jennifer was great! She took care of Rosie like she was one of her own. She sent regular updates and communicated frequently. I would recommend her for your pet.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Nicole and Sam are amazing! Ace loves it there! He has many girlfriends he gets to snuggle with. Bam tends to be more high maintenance and this was his first time there and he is acting like himself when I brought him home versus being scared and timid. He even interacted with the other dogs which he definitely hasn’t done before. I appreciate their patience and understanding. I had a flight canceled and they were able to accommodate me in keeping my boys an extra day. I hope to be able to use them again to take good care of my boys.”
“Kiara was fantastic! She was great with our dog, communicated and provided updates (and pictures) consistently, and was extremely helpful in scheduling drop-off and pick-up—she even met up with us to make sure our dog would be comfortable staying with her beforehand. Highly recommend Kiara!”
“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.”
“Huy watched Ruby for a few days and did a great job! She sent photo updates and Ruby was content and tired when she got home. Huy’s dog Gau is also such a sweetheart!”
“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!”

About: Growing up with four dogs, I absolutely love spending time with animals of all ages and sizes! I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend. I’m currently applying for graduate school so I have a very flexible schedule! I can walk your dog, feed, or just hangout with short notice. I am very attentive and will make the safety of your pet my absolute top priority. I can accommodate to any needs your pet might have and will be respectful of your home!
“Gabby was so great with our cat, Sawyer and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. She sent great updates and really took the time to understand our cat’s personality. Sawyer is a CH cat and we worry about leaving her alone. However, we came home to a happy, and relaxed kitty. Her experienced background was a huge bonus for us. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
“Chelsea took care of my 2 cats while I was away for Christmas and she did an amazing job! She was very communicative and thorough with everything I asked and made sure they were well cared for while I was gone.”

“Berna was great, she left a bunch of information and photos of my older kitty each day. It really put me at ease on our trip. I would definitely recommend Berna!”
“Ariel did a great job taking care of my 2 cats! They are not fans of strangers, but she understood that. They were fed everyday and their water was topped off, as well as a photo everyday. Perfect!”
“This was my first service with Reno, and, as with his other reviews, must simply be referred to as superb. My kitty went right up to him at the pre-care visit, and did so well with eating, litterbox, and play under Reno’s care that I could not be more grateful. I definitely will use Reno again!”
“Caroline was fantastic with my cat Murphy! She was very communicative and sent detailed updates about her visits. My kitty was having some stomach issues while I was away and she went above and beyond to help him out. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and would highly recommend her for your kitties!”
“Gillian did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away. She was communicative, responsive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear my cats were well cared for, and I came home to two happy, relaxed cats. I would definitely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Alicia did such a great job caring for our two kitties! She was super communicative and easy to work with and sent great pics of the boys. Thank you soo much!!”
“Jasmin was very punctual and communicative! I felt so relieved knowing the kitties were safe, even if they weren't excited about a stranger. Jasmin helped clean up some messes that were not exactly in the job description so I really appreciate her and will use her services again.”
“She was wonderful! She fed my cat, cleaned the litter box, and my cat warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. I felt really comfortable leaving her in her care.”
“Jessica was super communicative, consistent, took great pictures and was thoughtful about house care beyond what we discussed (eg cleaning up spit up and vacuuming up litter tracks). She’ll be who I look for first the next time I book!”
“Merve takes great care of our cat when we are out-of-town and goes above and beyond. The regular photos and updates from Merve add up to a lot of peace of mind. And from the way our cat lovingly cuddles with Merve and shows her affection, we can tell that she was pampered and spoiled. Thanking Merve for being the best pet sitter ever!”
About: I have had cats as pets ever since I can remember but did not start help taking care of them until I was seven years old. The care I have experience with for taking care of cats is feeding, petting/playing, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes.

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.
“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!”
“Kiara was great! She sent me plenty of updates throughout the day and I could tell Butters was enjoying himself in all of the videos and pictures. Will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting needs!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“John was fantastic with my Fifi. Five minutes after I dropped her off he sent me photos and a message letting me know she was fine and already playing with his dog, Parker. This was our first date but we will definitely return. Thank you John!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pet friends including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and turtles ever since I was a kid! I love spending time with them and I'm looking forward to devoting my time to neighbor pet friends! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I make time for walks, feeding, play, and any special instructions. I’m also very mindful of maintaining routines that pets are used to, which helps them feel safe and comfortable. As a doctoral student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to care for pets with attention and love. I’m usually available for boarding from Thursday to Sunday, especially on weekends when I can devote my time and heart to your pets. Whether it's walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make pet care a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I prioritize safety, comfort, and a loving environment to make sure your pets feel at home. I provide a clean, pet-friendly space where your pet can relax and follow their routines. My goal is to create a nurturing atmosphere with plenty of love, playtime, regular walks, and personalized attention. When caring for your pet in your home, I respect your routines and environment to minimize stress, paying close attention to your instructions so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“I am so grateful Janie was willing to look after my dog after an emergency! I was looking for a sitter who would be willing to bring my dog to an emergency vet in the unlikely event that he showed symptoms that would need immediate medical attention, and Janie was gracious enough to take on the duty. She is very communicative and sent updates throughout the day. My dog is so happy and comfortable in her care!”
“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.”
“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”
“Kanade was amazing!! Our dog is picky with people, but she connected with Kanade right away. Kanade and her husband made Ruggie feel right at home. Thank you for taking great care of our pup!”
“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.”
“Olivia was absolutely amazing with Ruey. She not only was able to watch Ruey for two days straight on a last minute basis, but she was also very attentive to Ruey. She took Ruey for walks, fed her, and spent time with her. Ruey was excited to see Olivia and enjoyed her stays! I highly recommend booking Olivia and will do so in the future!”
“I found Christopher when I was new to rover and didn’t bother to look any further! He has been super accommodating, takes amazing care of my puppy, and has been a pleasure to work with through rover. Highly, highly, highly recommend!”
“Helen was fantastic! She was very responsive, easy to coordinate with, and provided updates on my boy while I was away. Pickup and drop-off were both seamless, and I felt confident he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Helen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

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 feel very comfortable knowing Hoagie is in her care. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs and so have had experience since youth walking, feeding, and caring for them. In my adult life I have co-owned one dog for around 6 years and worked to house-train him and correct some behavior issues via positive reinforcement. I have also owned multiple cats over the past 16 years including raising one from kittenhood to adulthood. For the past 2.5 years I have been volunteering regularly with the in-house dogs at the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) Gray's Ferry clinic. My responsibilities include giving the dogs ample enrichment time outside by playing with them and positively reinforcing good behaviors, as well as feeding and cleaning up after them. I have worked there with all different dog sizes and age ranges, including puppies and seniors. I am available for check-ins mornings, mid afternoon, and evenings as well as overnight care as needed. I am not currently available for boarding dogs at my home. I do not accept sitting requests for unspayed/unneutered dogs. I currently do not own any dogs but I do own one high-anxiety cat whose behavior is being managed well with daily medications mixed in with his food. I'm very patient with both cats and dogs and am always ready to give them plenty of space to approach me and begin to feel comfortable with me in their own time. I am comfortable caring for dogs via feeding, walks, playtime, and medicating as needed. For cats I can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime or just hanging out, and medicating as necessary. I have experience pilling cats if the cat's personality allows for this.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and lizards since i was born and i love animals of all kinds. I’ve been a trusted, patient pet sitter for animals of all ages for 14 years and counting! I have experience with shy animals as well as some who take medication. I have lots of availability on weekends. On week days i have availability mornings, evenings, and some friday afternoons. Feel free to reach out about any scheduling questions. I would love to schedule a meet and greet to learn about any expectations so i can best respect your space while caring for your pet.
“Reno is extremely reliable and takes good care of the dogs while out walking. Tmy dogs love him and his walks are the highlight of their week. I highly recommend him!”
About: I have cared for pets for a majority of my life, both for my own and for others. I love animals and have an extensive knowledge on the proper training and care for them. I have done everything from the typical sitting, to bottle feeding, and even animal diapers. I am more than happy to cater to the specific needs of the animal I am taking care of, and always make sure to carefully follow any defined instructions provided by the owner. My house has a gated deck as well as a fenced in back yard for added security. I have a car for any needed transportation or for the event of an emergency. I work full time in center city and live in Manayunk. looking to earn some extra cash on the side.
“I highly recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a dependable walker or sitter. During our two years working with Paulina, she has proven herself to be a great fit for my nervous pup. She has been so considerate of my pup’s needs, such as slowing down after she resumed walking her after my pup recovered from injuring her hip. She also adjusted her walking pace and route to keep my pup safe depending on the weather and different neighborhoods we’ve lived in. When things have come up in the past, she has always notified me with plenty of time for me to adjust my plans. She has also been respectful of my home the times that she has stayed over to care for my pup and kitties. I’m sad she won’t be walking my pup on a weekly basis anymore after her recent move, but look forward to hearing from her as a friend in the future. It’s been so fun getting to know her these last two years. She’s a truly wonderful woman who is smart, caring, and dependable. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy walker and sitter.”
“Jasmin is an outstanding caregiver for your pet, and a highly responsible service provider. Her communication and responses are very timely, and very thorough. She is clearly committed to ensuring the timing and logistics of handling your and your pet's needs are fully vetted. Our dog has taken to her like a long lost friend.”
“I used Mason for dog walks and couldn’t be happier. He was professional, on time, and clearly knew how to handle dogs. My pup came home relaxed and well-exercised. Mason is the kind of walker you can trust right from the first booking — I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need help!”
“Liz was great! She’s was easy to communicate with and did a wonderful job walking my dog while I was at work! He loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“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!!!”

“Brooke was the best sitter!! She was fantastic with my Pitbull dog Jerry, and very accommodating to his needs, and very receptive to my litany of notes / instructions on what to expect with him, how to manage him, and overall what sort of attention/ care to provide him. She was very patient, she actually took notes, and I can tell that Jerry felt comfortable & secure in her care. Would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a top tier dog sitter! She also has her own dog, Snow, who is very sweet and great with other dogs. She gave Jerry lots of good company”

“As a first time Rover user, Chris is an asset to the company. He accepted Theo as a boarding guests for two nights. Chris was extremely generous with his time ahead of our booking in a meet-and-greet and walk. He is knowledgeable, personable, giving, and very loving to animals. The updates were encouraging and plentiful (even without my asking). Chris cared for my best friend as my own, and made this whole experience great. As I warned him at pickup, he is now part of our family. Thank you Rover... and HUGE THANKS to Chris for making this company/service/experience incredible.”
“Jasmine is a fantastic sitter! Leaving your dog with someone you barely know can be a little nerve wracking but Jasmine made me feel so comfortable sending frequent updates and photos. no question that he was in good hands : ) HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“Deena is extremely caring, precise, responsive and communicative. She accommodated last minute changes and took great care of my furry friend. 100% recommend!”
About: I am a dog owner who just moved to Philly. My puppy is 5 years old and I have had her since she was 12 weeks old, so I know how to take care (walk, bathe, feed, potty breaks, identify aggressive dogs to stay away etc.) and basic train a puppy well. I am passionate about learning how to keep dogs happy and healthy; what they want is very simple - to be with their pack, exercise, eat, and sleep well. I cannot be more happy when they are running around, playing with dog friends (if they are up to it), and munching on yummy food! I have also taken care of other small and big adult dogs (shih tzu, spitz, husky, corgi) since I was 16 for my family and my neighbors. I have walked them, brushed them, bathed them. I am happy to walk dogs when I walk my own puppy in the morning or in the evening. My schedule is relatively flexible since I am home and free most of the time especially on week days. I often walk dogs at Rittenhouse Square. I can readily walk my dog and yours any time. My residence is a one-bedroom apartment, so it would be plenty of space for small to medium dogs. I am also only a few blocks away from an animal hospital if any unfortunate emergencies occur. I am a student at UPenn and my partner works in a tech job, so at least one of us will work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I walk dogs 2-3 times every day, usually once in the morning and twice in the evening. I have a 5-year-old Pomsky (small-medium sized) to keep your dog company! She is super friendly, calm, and well-trained, and I’m sure they will have a good time together! :)
