“Iyana did an amazing job watching Murphy! She was very thorough with updates, and sent so many pictures😊 She took him on adventures and gave him fun activities. 10/10!”
About: Hi! I have experience dog, cat, and house sitting! I’m timely and pride myself on attention to detail. Lots of experience with both elderly pets and puppies. I am a high school science teacher, so my summers are very flexible. During the school year, I am available most days after 3:30 pm or if you are close enough, on my lunch break. I am able to board medium and small pets in my home comfortably. In your home, I am always respectful of your privacy and cleanliness. I’m happy to care for plants or house chores as needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
“Merlin enjoyed his stay. We liked the updates, photos and taking time to meet in advance. Thank you for taking our senior beagle on walks. Liliana took great care, we hope to book again soon.”
“Nicole was simply the best dog sitter ever! Canada loved hanging out with her dogs and came home happy and relaxed - there's nothing better than knowing your pet is in such good hands. She also gave me a great recommendation on a puzzle feeder that my pup loves. A+ all around!!”
“Shakira was amazing. She watched my dogs for me while I was on vacation. I ended up having flight issues coming home and she was quickly able to extend the stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the time they were with her. My dogs were very comfortable and at ease and I will absolutely be using her as a sitter again. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I'm currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, and honestly, time outdoors with a dog is my favorite way to recharge and get away from the screen. A good walk or an afternoon of play doesn't feel like a chore to me — it's the part of my day I look forward to. That means your dog gets someone with the energy and genuine enthusiasm to keep up with them, not just clock in and out. I grew up with a golden retriever and was the one taking care of him solo whenever my parents traveled for work, so I've been the trusted "person in charge" since I was a kid. I offer dog walking, doggy day care, and drop-in visits & house sitting, and I'm comfortable with everyone from high-energy pups to laid-back loungers. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some company, or a full day of play, I'll treat them like my own. Can't wait to meet you both! As a grad student with a flexible, largely home-based schedule, I can give your pet real attention and keep to their routine. Through the summer I'm generally free all day, every day, except Sunday mornings. Because I'm home and around for most of the day, I can stick to your pet's normal routine — feedings, walks, meds, and play at the times they're used to — and send you updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. If you have a specific schedule you'd like me to follow, just let me know and I'll build my day around it. Doggy day care: I'm in a comfortable 750 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with easy access to Rittenhouse Square, so your dog gets a cozy home base plus plenty of nearby green space for walks, play, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They'll have my attention, a steady routine, and regular trips outside rather than being left to lounge alone. Dog drop-in visits: I like to be thorough so your dog's day feels exactly like it does when you're home. Before your first visit, I'll ask where to find the spare leash, poop bags, water, and treats, and I'll want to know your usual walking route and routine. The more detail you can share, the better — I'd genuinely rather have too many instructions than too few, so your pup gets the same care and rhythm they're used to. Cat drop-in visits: For cats, I pay close attention to the details that keep them comfortable while you're away. I'll ask where the litter box is, whether it needs refilling, and exactly how you'd like it cleaned, plus where to find food, water, and treats. I also like to know their favorite toy and how they usually like to play or spend their day, so I can match their normal routine rather than disrupt it. Clear instructions are always welcome — I'd rather follow your way of doing things to the letter.
“Robert was great with Lulu! He was responsive, responsible and flexible. He sent adorable photos and gave plenty of updates. Wouldn't hesitate to book him again! Excellent experience. Thank you :)”
“Chloe did a wonderful job with my dog, Cyclops. I loved the photo updates, he seemed to have nice time on his mini vacation, and she was great to communicate with.”
“We had a great experience with this sitter! They took wonderful care of our pug, Dumpling, while we were away for a week. We really appreciated how responsive they were and how they kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us peace of mind. Dumpling looked happy and well cared for the entire time. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Lauren was great! Super responsive, sent pictures of our dog while we were away, and most importantly, it seems like our dog had an excellent weekend.”
About: Your pet gets more than a sitter! They get a new best friend! I provide loving care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands. I have a flexible schedule and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends.Whether your pet needs an evening walk, overnight care, or weekend companionship, I'm committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every pet like family. Your pet's safety comes first! I follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times. You'll receive updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
“They did a wonderful job watching my baby. She was happy and well taken care of during her stay. The pictures were a wonderful touch so I could keep tabs on her too:) I will definitely bring her back when I am away”
“Diana was a wonderful dogsitter! She was extremely attentive to my dog’s needs and very communicative. She sends daily photos and updates. My dog had a great time with her!”
“Eliza was great! I’m very particular about my puppy and who she’s around, but I felt very comfortable with Eliza. She communicated with updates daily and really made my puppy feel at home. I would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Abigail took such good care of Oswald! He has a special diet and medication and all went well. We had a last minute scheduling change which Abigail helped with making a stressful situation much easier. We hope to use Abigail again in the future. We give her our highest recommendation. 😁”
“Elizabeth took excellent care of Tessa, and sent us plenty of photos during our trip. Would definitely board Tessa again at Elizabeth's place given the opportunity!”
“Glenda is very responsible and understanding, and most importantly, wonderful to our dog. She makes sure she understands the dog's needs and is very communicative with the owners. We had real peace of mind when our pup stayed the night with her. Our pup loves going to her and spending time with her family of dogs.”
“Christine and Dan were absolutely incredible! From the moment I met Christine, she was so bubbly, warm, and friendly, and it was immediately clear that they were genuinely excited to spend time with Blizzard. They even offered to meet up before the weekend so that everyone, especially Blizzard, could get comfortable beforehand, which I really appreciated. While I was away, they took Blizzard on a long walk to a nearby park and kept me updated with pictures throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Christine and Dan truly went above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. I would have them watch Blizzard again in a heartbeat! I could tell Blizz was actually a little sad to leave them, so she clearly had an amazing time too!”
“Allison was amazing! Friendly, responsive, provided regular updates, and Lua came back to us relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared-for. We couldn't have asked for better, and would definitely hire Allison again.”

“Shreya was so communicative, followed all instructions, and took amazing care of my cat! I received detailed summaries with lots of cute pictures. I came home to a happy cat thanks to Shreya!”

“Merve is consistently responsive and communicative with us and very sweet with our kitty. We always feel good leaving our cat in Merve’s care!”
“Gabrielle did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! She went above and beyond by watering our plants, putting our mail away, and moving our trash cans after trash day as well. She changed all the water bowls out, fed our cat according to instructions, and took my (very) detailed directs in stride.”
“Luz Patricia and her husband do a wonderful job taking care of my sweet girl. I always know she is in excellent hands when they are taking care of her. They also send so many great photos.”

“Chelsea is a fabulous cat sitter! She went above and beyond for my babygirl who is very skittish and needs meds every day. Chelsea is super communicative and so helpful. I’d definitely use her again!!!”
“Brittney was great! She was very friendly and responsive, took great care of my kitty cat and was able to flex an extra day when I hit a travel snag. Highly recommend!”
“Can’t say enough great things about Valentina! She did drop in visits for our cat for two weeks while we were overseas and I was at ease the whole time knowing he was in her care. She sent photos and videos during her visits and was very easy to communicate with. Im normally very anxious leaving him with anyone but you could tell by the videos how much he loved her and how relaxed he was. Highly recommend Valentina!”
“Berna is very kind and thoughtful, and she took wonderful care of my cat. She sent me tons of photos everyday and updated me on his status, which I greatly appreciated.”
“Kianat was great! Very easy to communicate with and very flexible. She made me feel good about leaving Pippin for a few days. She sent lots of pictures and did everything we asked, which could have felt like a lot for a cat to some ha.”
“Liz was absolutely amazing! She had great communication throughout the entire stay and clearly cared so much about my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Glenda is so wonderful! She has become my go to sitter for my new rescue. She has been both flexible and communicative about coordinating scheduling and sends cute photo updates throughout the day.”
“Christopher is AMAZING! He Is so communicative, I never had to worry or wonder what my Pumpkin was up to, he kept me well informed. His family is great and they welcomed us with open arms! We can’t wait to visit with Christopher again!”
“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!”
About: I previously volunteered at the SPCA walking dogs, caring for kitties, and tending to the smaller pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc.) in addition to being a dog walker for Rover clients. I have experience with all types of animal personalities and am very attentive to any special instructions considering every dog/cat has their own quirks. I will provide you with picture updates during my visit (maybe even a stylish little photoshoot) and treat your animals with love & attentive care, as I know I would want for my own 2 cats. I also have experience training dogs and can offer advice/lessons if requested. I’ve worked from home for the past 7 years, so I love any excuse to hang out with animals and get outside. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to help! I adhere to the pet parents requests and also do the tasks that I feel are common sense like check the water bowl, make sure the pet had no accidents, give some treats and then lock up on my way out.
“This was our second time booking with Amira and everything was just as wonderful! Hazel stayed with her for daycare while we were at a family party. Amira took Hazel on a hike and she came home so happy and tired.”
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.
“Christie & Drew were absolutely amazing, and we are so lucky to have found them. They were available last minute for 3 of my 12 hour shifts in a row. I was so nervous to use Rover for the first time for my 8 m.o. pup, but they took the best care of Zeke and he always came home a happy and sleepy puppy at night. By Zeke’s 3rd day in a row of going to their home for the same routine, he was sitting in front of their door at drop off time, wagging his tail, and ran up their stairs immediately without looking back at me to greet everyone 😂 he was clearly so happy to be back with two of his favorite sitters & their sweet baby Margot! We are so grateful for them and Zeke cannot wait to come back! 🥰”
“Londyn was very responsive & Jack enjoyed his stay! She communicated wonderfully with texts & pics. Was a great location for our stop in Philly to visit independence Hall & Reading Terminal Market! Would highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Iliana was really sweet and took great care of my pup. When I picked her up I could see how happy she was and that she had a great time playing with Luna. Would book again! Thank you!”
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Janelle as a dog sitter enough! She took excellent care of my 11 month old puppy and made her feel right at home. I received regular updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while at work. She allowed flexibility with pick up which was incredibly helpful with my job. She goes above and beyond!”
“Ronon has spent the day with Samantha five times now. This morning when I said "you're going to Sam's today to play with Petunia," he started barking and zooming around. When I picked him up at the end of the day, he was happy and relaxed. What more could I ask for?”
“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”
“Shane was great with Birdie! Took great care of her for the day while I was gone. Feel lucky we found them in the neighborhood. Will definitely be booking with him again soon!”
“Madeleine and her family were awesome. They made our Army Navy weekend even greater. We got to enjoy the game and tailgate while Ginger and Kindle had a fun time too. One of my friends who were with us remark how awesome they came out to greet us as we dropped off the dogs. They make you feel like your family. Thanks so much!”
“I did a meet and greet with Samantha and her resident dog, and I immediately knew that my little puppy would be safe and in good hands with her. She understands dog behavior and we watched and made sure that my dog would be nice to her sweet dog. The next day I dropped my doggie for some doggy daycare and as to be expected, he seemed a little nervous when I left him, and Samantha reassured me that after a few minutes, he would be fine -and he was. Just like other reviewers have noted when I went to pick up my little guy he did not seem to want to go home with me. He let me know with his body language that he was very happy and having fun. Samantha and her partner are genuine “dog people”. My dog is very selective with men and he immediately showed affection towards Samantha‘s boyfriend. They have the knowledge and patience you’re looking for.”
“Ronon came home happy and relaxed from daycare at Sean's place, so I know he had a good time. (He has separation anxiety and big feelings, so if he's been stressed or unhappy when we're apart, it's pretty obvious.) Sean has a great, chill vibe and was very attentive to everything I told him about Ronon before his first visit. I will definitely book daycare with Sean again!”

“Ava has walked my fur baby Clover a couple times now. I’ve had to change the times on her, my apartment is not always the easiest to access, and Clover isn’t as spry as she used to be, but Ava was perfect in navigating those issues. She’s very flexible, punctual, and communicates great! Clover loves her 😊”
“Chelsea did a great job with our 10-yo 65lb pit mix Tyson. Due to timing, we weren't able to meet Chelsea in advance before the walk, so we have never met her face to face. Despite that, she was able to follow through on all our instructions and Tyson warmed up to her immediately. Would definitely work with Chelsea again!”
“Kelsey was so great! She left a detailed description of her time walking Henley and was very responsive! Henley was very well cared for during his walk with her.”
“Lauren was great! My pup can be reactive with other dogs and it was awesome to have someone I can trust to be attentive while walking him. Will absolutely book again 😊”
“We booked Natalie last minute and she really came through! She was communicative and took Bruce on a great long walk! Im so happy to have found her and will be booking again soon.”
“Sarah was great with Luna! I loved all the pictures she sent from their time together. She was reliable in the face of crazy winter weather. Would highly recommend to a friend and Luna will be happy to see her next month :)”
“Highly recommend and will definitely rebook! I just moved to a new place and needed some help with Abby while I was at work. So much was new for Abby (new house, new walker) but Chelsea had no issues, and clearly made Abby comfy and happy. Refilled her water water time, gave her her frozen kong and gave me great updates. Thanks Chelsea!!”
“Eliana was the perfect fit for our needs!! We were passing through Philly and needed a short term solution for dog care while my son and I attended a campus tour. We were SO that Eliana was available.l to assist us. She was prompt, professional, and caring. She was fantastic with our pup and anticipated her needs. Highly recommended!! Thank you for a totally positive experience, Eliana!”
“John is so great with my dogs! He just knows how to handle the quirks and makes it easy. He’s such a a caring dog sitter and we are blessed to have him!”
About: I've always loved being around animals, and taking care of pets has never felt like work to me. For the past several years, I've regularly walked and cared for two dogs, and I have two cats of my own, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm very active, so I'm always happy to go on long walks, play outside, or keep up with energetic dogs. I also understand that some pets just want a quiet companion, and I'm just as happy spending time with senior pets or those who prefer to relax. Outside of pet care, I've spent several years babysitting and teaching swim lessons, so being responsible, patient, and dependable comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll always make sure they get plenty of love and attention, stick to their routine, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently only teaching swim lessons on weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work around your pet's routine. If you need last-minute care or have a changing schedule, I'll do my best to accommodate you! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I'll make sure to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I'm respectful of your home and will always leave it just as I found it. I'll also send plenty of updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. If any supplies are needed during my visit, I just ask that they're provided ahead of time so I can give your pet the best care possible.
“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 .”

“Niki is the best! She truly cares a lot about your pet, and is very respectful of my space and requests when it comes to caring for my lil guy. She is attentive, communicative, and always double checks that she is doing the right thing, especially when something changes or there's a special circumstance. Niki comes to walk my dog every day and recently has helped follow a strict plan when my dog's illness was triggered. With Niki it feels like I have a team mate in making sure my dog has everything that he needs. She's reliable and I highly recommend her!”
“Kara was a great Rover for our pup Moishe. She’s super responsive, a great communicator, and was clearly a caring and careful walker. We highly recommend booking her!”
“My anxious little guy went right up to Reno and greeted him like they were old friends. This was my first time using Rover, and based on my experience, I’ll definitely be back. Rocky will probably ask for Reno, so we’ll be in touch soon. It was a last-minute request on my part and Reno stepped right up and was there to help us out. Thank you so much!!”

We felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands, she was very kind, attentive to Lav’s particular needs, and very communicative throughout the process! Olivia sent us adorable photos of Lavender and her sweet dog Lorraine, and they always looked like they were having so much fun together! I highly recommend Olivia for your pet care needs!”
“Benny had the absolute best time during his stay with Kiara!! As this week’s stay was his first time staying overnight away, she sent me so many pictures and videos everyday to keep me updated. Benny made so many new friends- for being a shy puppy he warmed up to Kiara right away. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Jasmine is perfect. I have used her services for boarding and dog walking. Both times were good experiences. I am able to relax because Jasmine keeps me constantly updated with pictures and video. Sprinkles put my dog at ease so that was super helpful.”
“Bear really enjoyed his time with Maxime! She scheduled a meet and greet before the stay and I was very comfortable with leaving Bear in her care. It made it all the better knowing she had cared for a German Shepherd before. I will be using Maxime again!”
“Lauryn & Hunter were awesome. They send lots of picture updates, were responsive, and spent a lot of time with our Roscoe. Really appreciate how much they treated him with love and enjoyed his quirkiness. Thanks guys, you rock!”
“Alexa watched my puppy Moxie for 5 days and did an incredible job! So much so in fact that Moxie came home having learned to play fetch and with a new love for tiny tennis balls. Moxie clearly had a great time, and even though she was still working on her potty training, Alexa was very patient and helpful. Alexa also had roommates who gave even more fun for Moxie - I think she was sad to come home! I’d love to work with Alexa again.”
“We were in town for just a few hours and Chelsea took care of our goldendoodle, giving her lots of love. Would definitely use again if back in Philadelphia!”
“Amazing sitter! Will def use again! He kept me updated constantly and sent both videos and pictures! Highly recommend … I can tell my dog had the best time!”
