I was kept updated daily and some of the pictures she took will be kept forever that’s how happy he was. Tofu came home very content and healthy. Kanade went above and beyond with my pup and I am beyond grateful.”

“Chastity helped with drop-in visits for our two cats for a week while my partner and I were away, and she did an AMAZING job! Both cats were fed, groomed, played with, and loved on in our absence. She provided tons of pictures, left our placed clean, and even took a package in for us. She went above and beyond for our cats, and we would book with her in a heartbeat in the future!”
“Christopher took great care of our kitties! He showed care and concern for them as if they were his own! He is very responsive and sends informative updates and adorable photos each time he visits! I will definitely contact Christopher again the next time I need a pet sitter!”
“Rachel took great care of our senior cat while we were away overnight. The detailed information on her Rover cards let us know exactly what happened during her drop-ins and were very reassuring to read. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Sally was great! She was on time, communicated just the right amount, and most importantly she gave my Lucy all the attention she needed while I'm away. Would recommend any kitty parent to book with her when you go on your next trip!”
“Jackie was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Clem under her care while I was out of town. She sent photos and updates after her drop in. Looking forward to using Jackie again in the future when I leave town!”
“Edward is an amazing asset to Rover! This was my first time on the app, and I am so beyond pleased. From the very first contact point Edward was responsive and incredibly pleasant and warm in communications. It helped me feel at ease right away. He agreed to a meet and greet before we left, and the cats and I both thought he had such great energy. He was attentive, thorough, kind, and patient. He respected the space of our older cat who is scared of people. He understood the needs of our younger cat who wanted attention. He wasn't scared off by our former street cat who is a little spicy but still wants to be noticed, and he made sure our little old lady who is dealing with dementia had a clean space. Edward sent messages and photos that gave me reassurance and made me smile. I will absolutely book with him again without hesitation. I would recommend him to anyone. Best possible experience I could have hoped for, thank you so much Edward!”
“Juli is incredible. She took incredible photos and wrote super thorough updates. She definitely spends the full time with the cats and I felt that they were getting the best care they could every day she was there 💖”
“Zack was such a great sitter for my cat Rocky! He sent me lots of pictures and Rocky was very happy and well taken care of when I got home. I can’t recommend Zack enough!”

“Taylor was great, used her for a 2 week trip to watch my 7 year old cat Rupi, she sent super cute pictures and when I got back Rupi seemed well cared for. Taylor was very trusting and would definitely recommend her to friends.”
“Alexandra is awesome! She was polite and courteous, asked all the right questions and was very detailed when watching my two fur babies. They seemed to enjoy her company and my place was in good condition when I came back. I will most likely rebook with her again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for our two cats. Their medical needs have gotten more complicated, requiring more care while we’re away. I was nervous about this, but Holden was very reliable, responsible, and communicated very well throughout this process. I look forward to booking with him again in the future! I would absolutely recommend him.”
“Brianna was amazing! She was so patient with Nene who is super stubborn about taking her medicine. She didn’t give up and made sure Nene got her dose safely. She also sent me a cute photo and update. My other cats and kitten loved her too. 100% would book her again and I highly recommend her if your pet needs meds or extra”
“If I could give 20 stars I would! Lauren was so so amazing. She watched my two little guys (1 year old kitties) while we were out of town and she gave them so much love and affection! We recently found out some sad news from the vet and Lauren has been checking in! It just shows how much she cares about your pets as if they were her own! I cannot say enough good things! And we are so happy we found her! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Hazel is fantastic! She was so communicative, timely, kind, and always sent the cutest pics of our cat. I highly recommend her to any pet owner, and I will definitely be booking her again!”
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.
“Bahisha did a great job with our kitty! :) Would definitely rebook her services. She was also very communicative when we had an issue with our water and our landlord needed information and she made sure to bring in all of our mail while we were away.”
“Joe was great with the cats and immediately earned their trust. He went above and beyond cleaning up cat bowls and one throw up incident. Thank you, Joe!”
“Lauren did a great job with my cats! As someone who was nervous about leaving their cats, I was so happy with how updated Lauren kept me with them, including lots of pictures and a video!”

“Samantha was awesome and kept communication with me constantly which made me feel more at ease. I definitely plan on rebooking with Samantha in the future.”

“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!”
“Felt so comfortable with this family! My dogs have been with us traveling in an RV for two weeks, they needed to be normal for a day. Normally, when we pick them up from a sitter they are wild. This time, they were relaxed. A day in a home is what they needed. Would definitely recommend!”

“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.”
“Great with adjusting to my time change. My only thing is doesnt seem that he ate after being told he did. Also, didnt get updates realky throughout the day. Great location”
“Travis is nice and easy-going and was great with my very young pup who needs second by second attention to keep him safe and engaged! My husband and I could tell that our pup had a great time! Travis will be our #1 sitter!”
“Rob was fantastic with Goose, and even better with me and my anxiety on leaving Goose with a sitter for the first time. Goose came back to me each time tail wagging! Will definitely be calling Rob again in the future.”
“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!”
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.

About: I am a dog mom myself and I grew up with a poodle for 16 years. I’ve lived with and cared for a cat for 2 years and am the go-to pet sitter for friends when needed! I have experience with city dog walking, overnight or drop-in pet sitting, and medication administration. I have significant experience with senior dogs, am active and resilient in keeping up with younger dogs, and I'm game to help train. While my "expertise" and experience is with dogs, I love and have been a cat sitter for friends and neighbors and am not a novice. Because I’m a dog mom myself in an apartment I am unable to offer boarding, but I would love to help you out with drop-ins, walks, or house sittings this spring and summer! I’m lucky to have the time to offer my services and I understand the expectations and care an owner has when booking accommodations for their pet and I strive to provide that in return! I work part time during nights so I am flexible through the daytime and most nights a week/end. Happy to be of service for your last minute drop ins/walks in a pinch too! I have experience with drop-in/walking, house sitting, and overnight pet sitting. It’s important to me that your pet is comfortable, safe, happy and in as familiar and safe an environment as I can provide for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the anxiety and occasional frustrations with securing pet care when you’re away and I feel strongly about providing a loving and hospitable service to a client. I’m fortunate to have the availability for pet care right now and want to be available in any capacity I can for Philadelphia dog parents as the weather warms up.
“Tricia is amazing! She was more than willing to do a meet and greet. She followed up right away confirming all the details of our big hard to deal with GSD. She was on time and provided detailed feedback after every session. I’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Chasity is a fantastic dog walker! When she first got started, she asked all the right questions to learn about my dog and what he needs for going on walks. She took great photos during the walk, and my dog was clearly a happy camper when he came home. Chasity is very responsive to communication and great with scheduling flexibility, especially on short notice. Highly recommended!”
“James was great to work with! He filled in for a few weeks while our usual dog walker was out of town and was extremely flexible with our work schedules. He was responsive and took great care of our dog. We will absolutely hire him again.”
“Natalie was great! She sent lots of photos. Had a very convenient schedule. Was great with communication. My pup was very happy after her walk with Nat!”
“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!!”
“Prompt, consistent, communicative, and flexible. Very easy to contact, update, and plan with. Willing and able to make specific tweaks based on client request and availability. Highly recommended, extremely consistent.”
“Julie has been very patient with my senior babe who needs some time warming up to new people. She took the time to give her treats and helping her feel safe enough to go for walks with a new person. I’m grateful for people like Julie who make my precious furbaby feel safe and taken care of. I will be using Julie in future! Thanks Julie!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 10 (I'm now 25), and am often asked to pet sit and care for the pets of others. I have been known for my genuine and passionate love for animals ever since I was a kid. I've taken care of all kinds of animals, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and honestly enjoy doing it! My schedule is flexible, and I'm therefore able to work with you and your schedule accordingly, to best fit the needs of your pet and provide their required care! I care for pets by investing my time and attention. Keeping a watchful eye, and being attentive to their needs. I understand that caring for a pet is a commitment, although this kind of work is not difficult for me since it's something that I enjoy and have extensive experience in! Each pet is also different and unique in their own way (similar to humans), so I understand that, depending on the animal I'm dealing with, their individual needs will differ! In this sense, I adapt accordingly to each unique requirement.
“Nicholas is great. He has been great with both my dogs. One of my dogs is reactive and just got back from a month long board and train and has been great helping me keep her on her training. They are always in great moods when I come home.”
“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”
“Mae is so good with our energetic Aussiedoodle puppy! They handle our puppy really well and document their trips in detail, which puts us to ease when we’re away from him. We look forward to continuing to use Mae’s services!”

“Donte is awesome! I've never left Theo with anyone before, this is the first time Theo and I have been separated for more than 24 hrs. This time it was from Saturday to Tuesday.

“Kelsey & Conor were amazing with George!! He settled in immediately with their two dogs, Brody and Beans, and had the best week ever. Daily walks, constant play, and by the end he was lounging on their furniture like he owned the place. They sent photos and updates without us having to ask, and were very flexible with drop-off and pickup over a busy holiday week. He came home happy and completely worn out. Could not recommend them more!!”
“Roxann and her family were so kind and loving to our dogs. They had a blast at their house! We were updated with lots of photos and videos daily. They played with lots of toys, went for walks, and had snuggle time. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were away. Thank you so much!!”
“Sarah took care of my dog Boomer well! This is the second time in two weeks we left Boomer with Sarah. It was very rare for him, a rescue dog who is very cautious to those outside family, not to growl to someone trying to reach with hand while in my wife’s arms. It happened to Sarah. It means that Boomer trusts Sarah. It shows how much she cared for Boomer while he is with her. I will definitely take Boomer again to Sarah next time.”
“Chelsea was very communicative throughout Marshall’s stay and sent lots of pictures. Marshall seemed to have a wonderful time, and both her and her son were great with him. We will be booking with Chelsea again the next time we are out of town!”
“Highly recommend Shakira!! This is the third time I’ve used her services and can’t recommend her enough. She is constantly sending great updates throughout the day and giving me the comfort I need knowing she’s taking great care of my dog. Will 100% use her again.”
