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!”
“Thank you so much Yuiko for such wonderful care of our puppy! She was anxious and worried but you got her calm and settled in! She felt right at home and that gave us peace of mind to be away and relaxed ☺️. The many wonderful pictures you sent were such a nice surprise to show off to everyone around us. Thank you again!!”
“Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”
“Mary Took.great care of Tyson while I was away! She sent photos everyday! I knew Tyson was well taken care of. I will definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Yulia was awesome! She took the time to meet Archie and I before his last minute stay and sent picture and video updates. She also gave me some tips on helping me train my young dog. Definitely recommend !”
“Luna and I absolutely loved Danielle! She was so friendly and kind hearted. She sent pictures and updates each day. Luna came home happy. Very grateful to Danielle for having Luna!!”
“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 💕”
“WOW - I don't even know where to start. I've been boarding / working with pet sitter's for over 14 years and Christin is top tier. Not only is her home so perfect for dogs (a big backyard?! such a treat!), her demeanor and understanding of dog behavior makes her one of the best. When we had our meet-and-greet my pups instantly starting showing signs of being relaxed (playing with toys and eating bones which never happens at new places) and kept going up to Christin for pets and love. Christin provided ample updates and photos and was super understanding of the quirks and difficulties of caring for a senior pup. It's hard to leave my 15.5 year old dog but I trusted Christin immediately. I will be re-booking for sure even just for single days for my dogs to enjoy her yard.”
“Haleigh was amazing to work with! She was very responsive and you could tell she cared a lot for both her animals and yours. My dog did really well with her. She sent photos and kept me updated as well. She pampered him more than I do myself, lol! I had a delay in picking him up, and she accommodated the change in pickup time. I am 100% going to use her again and would recommend her. PS she also gave my dog a biscuit to take home at the end of the stay! :)”
“We appreciate Ginger (and Phil) so much! Our Rico and Margo are characters for sure, each with their own little quirks and needs, but Ginger is so amazing with them! She’s so caring and communicative, always making sure they’re happy and comfortable!”
“Christiana and her family was very good for my dog. She kept me updated through out my absent and in the end I find my dog in good shape, happy and healthy.”
“Melanie was able to watch my dog Sophia on fairly short notice when I had to go out of town. She was flexible and responsive. Sophia had a great time with her dog Pippa and it seemed like she was sad to leave so I know she was in great care.”

“Thank you again Stormy for doing this last minute job. You always take so much care with feeding them and getting a chance to spend time with our cats. I appreciate your excellent services so much!! And you even had a chance to see Webster who is so afraid of all people...and he actually came out to see you!!! You are the first sitter who can claim that honor!! Thank you again Stormy!!!”
“Shelby is the best- my male cat was facing a health issue and she provided so much love and support, administered meds and gave us great communication and photos while we were out of town. Shelby has a very sweet personality. You can tell she genuinely cares and loves animals. Went out of her way. Highly recommend!”
“Julia was fantastic with our kitties! She asked great questions when learning about their routine. You can just tell how much she loves pets. We got daily updates and pictures and I felt so happy knowing Julia was taking good care of them while we were away.”
“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.”
“Haeley is fantastic! She is tremendously compassionate and attentive. Harley exudes kindness in the way she communicates about my pets. It’s a gift having that peace of mind that my pets are in such good hands.”
“Emily was fantastic! So loving with my babies and flexible when I requested an extra check on them in the middle of my trip. Knowledgeable and helpful with my Kiki’s asthma and provided me education and suggestions! My babies are happy and were well cared for, and I felt at ease my whole vacation ❤️”
“Christina is so sweet. I made the best decision ever when I booked her to drop in and feed my crew on the afternoon of my surgery. It was a huge weight off my mind knowing I didn't have to worry about my kitties being cared for while I was still on an anesthesia stupor! Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Was amazing taking care of my anxious and feisty cat! Was patient and worked around his difficult behaviors. Communicated well and left great notes after each visit. Definitely recommend!!”
About: I have owned cats ever since I was little I have taken care of my daughter's cats my mother's cats my family friends and neighbors rely on me to feed their cats to come and visit them and just keep them company to check on them Etc these animals just like the dogs are my babies I also have my own baby my Sophia and she is my world that's my cat I believe that animals are Soul too they're not just animals
“Danielle watched our cats for a third time. It's helpful to have someone watch our babies that we (and they) know and trust. It's obvious that Danielle cares about the wellbeing of our cats. She sends regular updates. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up a puked up hairball that wasn't a requirement. One of our cats is on medication and Danielle was able to administer a complicated drug regimen with no issues. Great cat sitter. Highly recommend”
“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”
“So thankful for such an attentive, caring, and responsible sitter. Feels better to leave our cat knowing that she is in great hands. Thank you so much!”

“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Regina — a lifelong dog person (and former lawyer/tech executive) who understands what it’s like to travel and need care you can truly trust. I used to worry about whether my dogs were being fed well, getting enough exercise, and feeling safe and loved — so that’s exactly what I prioritize for every dog I board. I’m based in Chestnut Hill with a small, secure yard that’s especially helpful for older or mobility-limited dogs who need easy outdoor access. For active pups, we get outside for real walks and adventure time — I’m a runner and love long walks, so dogs in my care get more than quick potty breaks. I also build in enrichment and calm downtime (yes, I’ll play music for dogs) so they feel settled while you’re away. I’m safety-first, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I’ll send regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog is flourishing. Crate comfort: I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained, and I’m also happy to board dogs who aren’t — I’ll follow your routine and preferences. Optional add-on: Drop-off and pick-up are available for an additional fee. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently on sabbatical and prioritize daycare and overnight boarding. My days already include multiple outdoor breaks and longer walks, plus plenty of calm downtime at home, so dogs get a consistent rhythm of exercise, enrichment, meals, and rest. I use set drop-off and pick-up windows to keep care structured, safe, and predictable for every dog. I care for pets in my home only, where I can keep the environment calm, consistent, and closely supervised. I follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and any medications, and I build each day around regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and real walks (not just quick bathroom trips). I have a small yard for easy access—especially helpful for older or mobility-limited dogs—and I also prioritize enrichment and downtime so dogs feel settled. I have crates available for crate-trained dogs, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who aren’t crate trained as well. I’ll send updates so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
“Yulia and Kevin were great with Nalu. They were very professional -- communication was great while setting up Nalu's stay and they provided tons of updates while we were away. We would definitely use them again.”
“She took great care of my needy dog, quickly learning his personality quirks and needs. She communicated regularly and provided lots of updates. I would definitely book again!”
“Monee made our puppy and all of us so happy! Our puppy, Elijah, had the time of his life playing with her dog, Lucky, and the other dog she was watching! Monee sent us pictures and a video showing what a wonderful time Elijah was having! Her backyard is a dog's paradise! He felt right at home from the moment he walked in! He and Lucky played for the entire day! We feel so lucky to have found Monee and look forward to her watching Elijah each time we go out of town!”
“Yuiko is a terrific pet sitter! She gave me Milo’s update very often. This was so helpful for me have peaceful mind as this was my first experience with Yuiko.”
“Mary sent many photos and updates during my dog’s daycare stay with her. It looks like he had a great time with nice little adventures! I would book Mary as a sitter again, easy!”
“Ceara took wonderful care of our little dog. She worked hard to follow my instructions, which I admit can be kind of complicated at times. The house was also nice and clean when I got home. I would definitely work with Ceara again.”
“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! She is incredibly flexible, kind, and communicative which is very appreciated. She is also great at sending pictures and video updates :) I feel great about leaving my dog with her. 11/10!”
About: Hi! We’re Electra and Crescent. We love travel, food and animals! 🐾 We’re lifelong pet parents who have shared our home with cats and dogs for decades. We currently live with three cats of our own (2 belonged to my late mother) Kiki the senior Russian blue, Helena the toothless full figured queen and Charles Mr. Humpty Dumpty. We genuinely love caring for animals and understand the unique needs of picky eaters, seniors, energetic and active animals or pets who prefer calm, low-stress environments. We call Charles our “special needs baby” since he is neutered but loves to hump his cat toy (Matilda) Kiki was my mom’s cat who is a senior and has IBD aside from her IBD (which we are managing) she’s a very quiet, laid back cat that likes her quality time. Helena was my mom’s cat and talk about food focused! Despite having only 2 bottom teeth this thick beauty don’t let that stop her! 🐾 I’m Electra and I’m available most of the day. My husband Crescent works Monday–Friday during the day (usually finished by late afternoon). This gives us excellent flexibility for pet sitting: • Boarding at our home: We can typically do pet pickups early evenings or anytime on weekends. • Drop-offs: You can bring your pet anytime. We can also do pickups for you Monday–Friday after 5 pm or anytime on weekends. Since I’m home I can provide personalized, attentive care for your furry family members. Whether it’s longer walks, extra play sessions, or simply quiet companionship for pets that get lonely, we tailor our care to what each animal needs. We board cats (up to 3) or small-medium dogs (up to 2) at a time. We have a dedicated spare bedroom that works beautifully as a cozy “cat hotel” or “doggie retreat” — complete with a litter box, cat tree, twin bed, toys and TV for background noise. Your pets get complete free-roaming access in this room with no crates. Privacy with one family at a time to ensure a calm, stress-free environment for your pet with access to ring camera for boarding stays. We’ll ensure that your cats have a freshly clean litter box daily, interaction multiple hours a day, great window view for birdwatching and followed feeding routine. Your dogs will have plenty of time outside, I’m available and can provide multiple walks and engagement throughout the day, with comfortable indoor space for relaxation and eating routines. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry babies are safe and in a controlled space. We offer Ring camera access so you can check in anytime, plus daily text updates with photos and details about how their day went. When we visit your home, we’re extremely mindful of your pet’s normal routines. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime if they crave it, or respectful space if they prefer quiet time — always with their comfort and happiness as our top priority.
“Mumbo had a great time with Kaylah! Kaylah was excellent about sending updates and coordinating times to meet. She even reached out during the stay when she noticed Mumbo was having a little issue with his leg (a problem he does have occasionally). The leg issue turned out fine but it was great to know Kaylah was paying such close attention to him. We felt very comfortable knowing Mumbo was in such a loving home!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life. From growing up with family pets to having my own, I've taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I work from home, so I'll be able to provide your dog with the care and attention they need. I can also provide basic training skills, if necessary. I currently have one dog named Koda. He's very friendly, affectionate, and well trained. He gets along well with all dogs and loves any human that will give him attention. He would love to host your furry companion! I work fully remote from home so I am available all during the week with a good amount of availability on the weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard where they'll be able to play. I take Koda on three walks a day and to the Wissahickon or other parks in the area most weekends so your dog will get plenty of exercise and stimulation.
About: Your pets will be spoiled with love, attention, and care. I lead with positive reinforcement and animal advocacy. They're always telling us what they need, it’s just up to us to listen. Regardless of your pet's needs, I adapt to their unique personality to ensure they're safe, comfortable, and happy. And, of course, I make sure to snap plenty of pictures to keep you informed of their stay. Pet care is my number one focus. I have a dog of my own and am already out and about getting his energy out and he would love a friend! Whiskey is a Canine Good Citizen, or as I like to call it, a Certified Good Boy. I also have two cats and understand the important balance of play with personal space. I live in an apartment with a park nearby. I have a crate for boarding if needed and plenty of blankets for cuddling. Snuggles are welcomed and encouraged so all furniture is free real estate as well.
“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.”
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs. My best option is pet sitting. I’ve cared for many of my family pets. I love spending time with them and caring for them. I look forward to meeting many new buddies. I work at a school. I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“Christie and Drew we’re so wonderful!! We decided last minute to go to a basketball game on our way through Philly and they took June in like she was their own, gave her so much love and even fed her when we didn’t have dinner for her. They were extremely communicative and sent a ton of pictures, the best dog sitters! Thank you!!!!!”

“Tim has been absolutely fantastic with my Australian Cattle Dog/Pitt mix. She's a very timid pup and especially nervous around men, so I was initially hesitant about finding someone she would be comfortable with. Tim really went above and beyond—he took the time to come by for a couple of meet-and-greets before starting regular walks, just to make sure Gloria felt safe and at ease. His patience and gentle approach made a huge difference. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind and reliable. Highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy dog walker!”
“Stormy did an awesome job taking care of Ringo. She treated him like her own and that’s what I always look for. I would like to book her again in the future. Thank you Stormy!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10! I’ve always had 3-4 pets at a time so I understand the high/low maintenance, the picky eaters, and the ones that need medical assistance. I personally have dogs that have medical issues and have to make sure their needs are met constantly. I’ve worked on a farm so I have great experience with all types of animals. Neighbors and friends rely on me #1 to walk, play, feed, and take care of their pets. I currently work part time. I will have plenty of time during the day to play, feed, walk your pups! I’m an early bird so if you’re looking for someone early in the mornings, I’m your girl! I will follow whatever your protocol is for your pets! I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with me. I look forward to meeting all of your furry friends!
“This was my first time using Rover and Anna made it stress-free! I have a large great Pyrenees mix with a ton of energy and Anna was comfortable with her which eased my worries. She communicated throughout the week and was flexible with my schedule. My dog loves her and looks forward to their walks together and I can work worry-free knowing she’s in good hands”

“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.”
“Hadiya is great! She’s amazing with her high level of care, consideration, and attention to detail! I’m really glad to be working with her! My dogs love her 🫶🏾”
“Thank you, Nija, for your kindness and enthusiasm. I know Orla loves you, and you have brought us a great peace of mind. And the photos from your walks are excellent!!!”
“Ceara was absolutely amazing with Excalibur. Not only was she great with Ex, she’s also such a nice person to interact with...interesting, attentive and fun. I’ll definitely reach out again. She’s a gem! <3”
About: I’ve had cats growing up all my life and have a dog now who we trained as a therapy dog. We visit hospitals and residential homes regularly to share some puppy love. I love animals and want to provide the best care possible. I work a hybrid schedule so depending on the day I can come over during the workday if needed. I do travel but those trips are planned out far in advance. I love taking dogs for walks and being outside, and if the fit is right I can walk your dog with mine or leave him behind to give your dog a solo experience! I have a fenced yard and sliding back door so between walks if your dog likes some fresh air they can roam around. This isn’t their only form of exercise - I go on walks with my dog (sometimes runs!) twice a day so your dog will get lots of exercise if desired.
“Christina did great with our anxious pup! Very responsive and sends great updates / photos. She helped put our rescue dog at ease. Will be booking again in the future”
About: **note: I am unable to stay overnight at your residence. Hello!!! My name is Maria and I love caring for pets in and around my community in Philadelphia. I attached photos of reviews from my Wag profile. When I lived in Boston I was a trusted dog walker via wag where I did recurring walks and gained my own clients from 2019-2021. I did pet sitting, overnight care, and dog walking, and I miss my recurring pups so much! I am so excited to get back into taking care of animals here in the Philly area! My cats are equivalent to human children to me, so I will treat your pets the same! My daughter Cherry (feline daughter) is very shy so I am familiar with caring for animals who may be testy or nervous. I currently work obscure hours which means I’m always available during normal human hours! My day job is from 1:30pm-midnight, 4 days a week. I work in television, it’s awesome, so I’m available early-ish during the day! I have a car so I can get around to your babies efficiently and I don’t mind animals in my car in case of emergency. However an owner wants me to care for their pet, I do it. I closely follow rules, respect boundaries, and take criticism. I am so open and I love to be accountable so that you’ll trust me with your pet. I am so protective of my cats and will treat your pets the same. Pets are our lifeline and will be treated as such!
About: As a devoted cat mom of two, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. I regularly pet-sit for friends, providing reliable house sitting, daily walks, and enrichment activities to keep their pups engaged. Having grown up in a multi-pet household, ranging from a high-energy dog to a clever cat and a parrot, I am comfortable with a wide variety of personalities and needs. I’m looking forward to expanding my services and treating your pets like family. I work at a school in Northwest Philly from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, so I'm available on weekday nights and all day on the weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to provide a seamless transition so the animals feel secure and the home remains in excellent condition. I strictly follow established feeding schedules and ensure fresh water is always available. I am diligent about following any specific dietary instructions or medication needs.I provide structured walks and active play sessions. 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: I've had a family dog for 6 years now and I love taking care of her, she means the world to me. I've also cared for neighbors' dogs for both single days and overnight multiple days. I enjoy cats as well, I don't own any but I have taken care of a neighbor's cat multiple times and I have numerous friends who own cats that I enjoy being around. I'm currently a student and I will be doing clinical rotations at hospitals this summer so I am not available every day, however they only take place 3 days a week so I am completely free 4 days a week and have some limited time after clinicals one day. I recently moved and do not have any pets at my current location. I could take a pet to my place but prefer going to a client's home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care and attention I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their people are away. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pets who require gentler care and a watchful eye. I pride myself on noticing the little things such as changes in behavior, eating habits, or comfort so you can trust that your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to help you out! Just let me know when assistance is needed and I can more than likely be there. I have a small fenced in yard, and I live in a house with my brother, who also loves dogs. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable and safe space to relax, with plenty of attention and outdoor breaks (for dogs). I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to so they feel at ease and cared for.

“Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Luna and I absolutely loved Danielle! She was so friendly and kind hearted. She sent pictures and updates each day. Luna came home happy. Very grateful to Danielle for having Luna!!”
“WOW - I don't even know where to start. I've been boarding / working with pet sitter's for over 14 years and Christin is top tier. Not only is her home so perfect for dogs (a big backyard?! such a treat!), her demeanor and understanding of dog behavior makes her one of the best. When we had our meet-and-greet my pups instantly starting showing signs of being relaxed (playing with toys and eating bones which never happens at new places) and kept going up to Christin for pets and love. Christin provided ample updates and photos and was super understanding of the quirks and difficulties of caring for a senior pup. It's hard to leave my 15.5 year old dog but I trusted Christin immediately. I will be re-booking for sure even just for single days for my dogs to enjoy her yard.”
“Haleigh was amazing to work with! She was very responsive and you could tell she cared a lot for both her animals and yours. My dog did really well with her. She sent photos and kept me updated as well. She pampered him more than I do myself, lol! I had a delay in picking him up, and she accommodated the change in pickup time. I am 100% going to use her again and would recommend her. PS she also gave my dog a biscuit to take home at the end of the stay! :)”
“Christiana and her family was very good for my dog. She kept me updated through out my absent and in the end I find my dog in good shape, happy and healthy.”
“Melanie was able to watch my dog Sophia on fairly short notice when I had to go out of town. She was flexible and responsive. Sophia had a great time with her dog Pippa and it seemed like she was sad to leave so I know she was in great care.”
“Cannoli had a fantastic stay with Emelie! I was sent pictures throughout his stay and he even made some doggy friends with some of the other dogs she boarded. Would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Liam was fantastic with Maggie, and she loved playing with Jack! Liam was incredibly communicative providing updates and photos of Maggie which is so comforting when being away from your fur baby. We highly recommend booking with him!”
“Kerry had my sweet puppy Albert over the weekend and he had an awesome and was totally pooped when he got home! He was super happy and didn’t want to get in the car to leave so I’m sure we will be back to see Kerry again!”
“Kristin was wonderful with Charlie, and when I had a slight change in plans was able to accommodate them very easily. Was always responsive and sent me lots of photos from the weekend. Will definitely send Charlie back!”
“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!”
“Gabriela was wonderful!! She kept us informed & sent pictures which was very much appreciated! We missed our dog, Poppy, but felt more at ease with updates! She let us know if he was eating & how he was doing in the unfamiliar environment. She asked if it was ok if she could give him homemade chicken which he loved! Whatever unease Poppy may have felt initially quickly dissipated with her loving care of him!! She was also very sensitive to his possible reaction to fireworks over July 4 anticipating he may not react well. She made sure she provided a quiet and safe space for him. We highly recommend her and will ask for her again should the need arise! Wish we could give 5+ stars!!”
“Jacob went above and beyond while watching my bernedoodle, Finn. Finn just had intestinal surgery and required special care and medications. I could tell that Finn really bonded with Jacob. Communication was great while I was abroad. Finn was happy and in great shape when I picked him up. Thanks!”
“Jacqueline and Jim treated my pup and loved her like their own! As it was my 60-lb Golden Retriever’s first time at a house with a cat, I set up a meet and greet and I could tell my dog felt right at home. Jacqueline was super communicative and warm prior to and during the boarding process. I could tell by the photos that my dog was comfortable and I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come back with me! I cannot recommend Jacqueline enough and will definitely board my dog at her place again.”
“Kiara was awesome! Great communication and very knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Samson had a fun time staying with her and getting to socialize with the other dogs she was sitting. I would definitely use her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care for their pup while out of town!”
