“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!”
“Madeline and her husband and her 3 dogs kept my pup well loved and well cared for for my 4 day trip! I will definitely be rebooking! I got frequent updates and pictures of Marley having a blast with the other dogs in her home. Madeline administered ear medication and kept up with my house training. This is basically a doggie summer camp- everyone comes back exhausted and happy!! I would definitely say that this is a good spot for social dogs as there are often others around.”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his excellent care the next time you need to board your smallest family member. Our Molly, who is in her 14th year, had just started to display some cognitive dysfunction as well as what we perceived as sadness in the loss of her best buddy, her brother from the same litter. Tony was very attentive and observant of Molly's behavior as she tried to adjust to her new surroundings. At times she did need some extra care due to her confusion or anxiety of her situation which Tony lovingly provided, all the while making sure that we were receiving videos and feedback as to her experience.”
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).
“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.”

“Nicole is very professional and communicative and we are already booking her to board our dogs with again. We received updates at least once a day. It’s clear that she and her family provide a safe and happy space for our pups. Nicole has ample experience and will work with you from booking through pick up to make sure you and your pups are at ease.”
“Renee was amazing with Ruby! Ruby had soooo much fun with her dog, Toffee, over the weekend. I got plenty of pictures and updates throughout which gave me great peace of mind. I don’t think Ruby even wanted to come home at the end, I will definitely be booking with Renee again!”
“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!”

“Excellent Cat Sitter: Communicative, Caring, and Trustworthy Tricia was punctual, responsive to messages, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to ensuring our cats' well-being. Not only was Tricia reliable, but she also demonstrated a remarkable level of care and attention towards our cats. During our initial meeting, she took the time to ask detailed questions about our cats' routines, dietary preferences, and any special needs or quirks they might have. It was evident that Tricia was genuinely invested in providing personalized care tailored to our cats' individual needs. Tricia provided regular updates with photos and occasional videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing that our cats were in good hands. It was clear from the updates that she not only tended to our cats' basic needs but also took the time to engage them in play and provide companionship, which is invaluable for a pet's emotional well-being. In addition to her reliability and care, we found Tricia to be very trustworthy. We felt completely comfortable giving her access to our home, knowing that she would treat it with respect and professionalism. Overall, I cannot recommend Tricia highly enough. Her communication, care, and trustworthiness make her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a cat sitter. I will certainly be reaching out to Tricia again for future pet-sitting needs, and we are confident that she would provide the same excellent service to any pet owner fortunate enough to enlist her help.”

About: Since I was a child, I grew up in a household where we rescued animals. My mother rescued hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and cats, and it surprised no one I followed in her footsteps. Aside from always being a fur-mom myself, I’ve fostered animals on my own accord, with personal finances, and found my rescues their forever homes. I’ve also partnered with a friend, who does run an actual rescue, to perform background checks on applicants. She’s allowed me to use her resources, where I’ve been able to receive affordable veterinary care for my foster visits. I’ve performed CPR on animals, administered medicine orally, and bottle fed newborn puppies and kittens. I’ve done the dirty work, too, where I’ve provided flea baths, removed ticks, and treated “diaper rash”. There’s actually photos I have, where I’m covered in Desitin rash cream. Honestly? There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to save an animal. Or, to provide an animal love and comfort. I’m permanently working from home, so I have the ability to stay with your furry child all day and care for them. This includes lounging in the house, and I also have my backyard where we can all stretch our legs and play. I am a firm believer in safety first. I treat all animals as if they’re my own children, and I always consider their safety to be paramount. In my own home, I have a pet-friendly setup. This means, I don’t have plants that would be toxic to animals, and I ensure that all food is stored properly and away. There are no sharp objects in my house. When I’m sitting a cat or dog, I’m also always around to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous. I make sure to use pet safe cleaning products. When I’m house sitting, I respect the rules of someone else’s home, and I ensure that I’m careful when entering and exiting any home (mine or someone else’s) so that no animals escapes. Before sitting for an animal in someone’s home, I have a lengthy conversation with them to go over expectations and the safety rules of the house. I follow these rules like they are my own. I will crate a dog if the pet parent requires it— and dogs and cats are allowed to roam freely in my home (under my watchful eye) if a crate isn’t needed. I will crate as requested.
“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.”
“Alex was very responsive and able to accept a last minute request. He sent pictures as promised and Rosie was calm and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Alex again.”
“Christopher is the best dog sitter I have had on Rover! He send me lots of picture throughout the day and work on Ben’s training. I feel so confident leaving my dog Ben with him and knowing that he is gonna have a fun day!”

I have experience with varying ages up till 18 years old. I have extensive experience with senior dogs as well. I am available most of the time during the day and night! I know many parks and dogs parks in the Philadelphia area that are safe and fun for all breeds and ages. I love cuddling, walking, playing and all things dogs.

“I needed a last minute solution for a work meeting — i’m talking nearly less than 12hr notice last minute and Erin truly came through!

“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup.

About: I have over 2 years of experience caring for my own poodle and have been responsible for his care since he was 3 months old. Because I raised him from a young age, I am fakiliar with the patience, consistency, and attention that puppies need. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and following a pet’s routine. - I offer drop-in visits that can include short walks! - I offer daytime house sitting in your home, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. Please note that I do not offer overnight stays. I’m a Temple University student who is studying Biology under pre-med track. My class schedule is flexible throughout the week, which allow me to make time for pet care and work with different scheduling needs. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, and daily routines. I pay attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs to help make sure they are safe and comfortable during every visit.
About: Growing up my family household had 2 dogs and many of my childhood friends had dogs that I would always hang out and play with! I also watch my brother’s two dogs from time to time and cat-sit for our friends and neighbors! So I have many years of experience with animals. As an adult, I have a cat (for 9 years) and a dog (for 4 years). I love cats and dogs, and would love to stop by, play and feed them when you need some help! My dog is reactive to people and other dogs, so I have experience with walking a reactive dog and took many training classes to help with her reactivity with both people and dogs! I understand how hard it can be with a reactive dog so I am willing to work with you to make sure you and your pup feel comfortable and safe with me. I can stop by and keep your cat or dog company, or take them out for long walks. I work from home and have plenty of time to play, feed and walk your precious animals! My schedule right now is very flexible and have plenty of availability to take care of your pet! Since I have a reactive dog myself, my services will not be provided in my home. But I can come to your house and make sure your pets are well taken care of. I am comfortable with crating dogs if needed.
“Natalie is the best! She takes great care of our girl taking her on long walks and making sure she pees and poops, she leaves little report cards after each walk which are fun to read and she is super reliable !”
“Jackie is soooo amazing with Dolly on their weekly walks. She gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at school. She goes above and beyond and even taught her how to use the stairs (she used to really struggle with this before Jackie)! So grateful and 100% recommend!!”
About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been taking care of them. Currently have two cats and two dogs. My wife calls me the cat whisperer. I work full time Monday through Friday but can stop before and after work as needed. I can be fully flexible on the weekends as needed. Our current animals eat twice a day and the cat’s litter box is cleaned daily. The dogs need walks and everyone needs cuddles. I change the litter fully bi-weekly.
About: Hi friends! I am a school psychologist & behavior consultant from Indiana ISO work while I obtain my professional licensure in Pennsylvania. I love furry friends and have never lived without pets!! I like kitties and doggos of all sizes and breeds, and promise to give your pets the same care and affection I give my own. Thank you for considering me 🤗 I am currently working part-time, and am very available throughout the week for walks, check-ins, feedings, or whatever care you need for your pets. I am most available weekdays during typical work hours. In terms of care, I like to follow specific instructions and preferences from each owner! I’m comfortable following whatever routine you have in place for your animals. I do not bring clients’ pets into my home, as we have 3 pets of our own who would start a riot if we did.
“Juli is so great! My dog is typically a skeptic of new people, but warmed up to Juli immediately. Juli is easy to work with, very flexible, and truly cares about the safety and happiness of the pets she cares for.”
About: I've always loved animals and grew up with pet birds, dogs, hamsters, and currently have a senior cat. I started petsitting as a teenager and have continued to do so. Over the years I've taken care of big dogs, little dogs, cats (elderly and semi-feral included), chickens, and rabbits. I enjoy building a connection with animals at their pace, whether it's love at first treat or gaining trust from a distance. Although I am happy to care for any pet, big dogs have a special place in my heart. Comfortable with large and high energy dogs. Rover is my main gig, so I can accept last minute requests and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Unfortunately, my cat is an introvert so I don't offer boarding services. I do drop-ins and dogwalking. Respecting your home (and your fur baby's home) is high priority. Happy to accommodate in any way I can.
