“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!”
“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.”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Derek was fantastic. Super communicative and it was clear that he truly loved spending time with our pup. That means the world to us. We will definitely book him again!!”
“Zyiana was a GREAT caretaker for my beagle. This was my first time leaving spot with a sitter and she made it such an easy and comforting experience. She kept spot for 3 nights and gave consistent updates and photos about my dog, she was very attentive and caring, didn’t even leave out the cuddles/snuggles. She was also very detail oriented and followed instructions given. I highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Tony was great with my two doggies Molly and Mochi. He was also very communicative and sent me daily updates. I love that he sent me pictures and videos throughout the day so I could see that my doggies were happy and enjoying backyard time with Tony, Minnie, Diamond, Roxie and Charlie.”
“tamikia was so amazing. this was my first time using rover and i was nervous about leaving my pup for 2 weeks but tamikia’s incredible response time and constant photo updates put me completely at ease. when i picked my dog up, she was so comfortable at tamikia’s house that she wasn’t even that excited to see me lol. i will 1000% be using tamikia for any future care. this is your sign to stop browsing on rover and book tamikia!!!”
“Rhea took great care of my dog over the weekend. He was so comfortable as soon as he got there and got along great with their sweet dog. I received pictures and updates multiple times per day and could see he was calm, and happy during his visit. He had a nice little vacation of his own there with lots of walks, play time, and cuddles! Thank you !”
“Madeline was very communicative and made sure that my shy guy was comfortable. She and her husband clearly love dogs! I'll be utilizing their boarding again in the future.”
“Boo just stayed for a little over a week while I was on vacation. She ran right up to their door which made me feel better about leaving her - it’s clear she enjoys herself! My connecting flight home was delayed 5+ hours and they were very gracious in letting Boo stay another night at the last minute. I received lots of pics of walks and Boo making new friends! Really appreciate the care provided and having such greats sitters in the neighborhood.”
“Deena was absolutely amazing with hazy. She was extremely communicative with the going on and with updating photos. Felt like I was there with them! Sounded like they had a wonderful Christmas. Would book with her again”
“Nicole kept me in the loop the whole time she watched Bella, sending lots of pics and answering questions as needed. I was really nervous about leaving my dog for the first time but just hours later, I felt completely reassured when I got updates and pics. She had such a great time playing with her new friends and came back exhausted. We’d definitely bring Bella to stay over again.”
“Elizabeth took great care of my old boy for 5 days. Her consistent updates and photos made me feel such at ease knowing he was in good hands. She was also very flexible and great to work with. Would definitely have her watch Rexxar again. Thank you!!”
“Above and beyond! Kanade took such excellent care of my dog, and she looked truly happy in the copious amount of pictures that were provided. Kanade asked questions for clarification of care, send a daily recap of how my dog was, and completely put me at ease during my trip. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dogsitter.”
“Christopher really put my mind at ease when I felt anxious about leaving Mochi for an extended boarding stay in an unfamiliar city. Mochi got more exercise than he ever gets with me and Christopher’s family’s home is beautiful and dog friendly (lots of doggie toys, cuddles on sofa, etc). I was a little worried about encounters with other dogs on walks (Mochi can be selectively dog aggressive). Christopher handled him like a champ and had no issues at all. There was a little trouble with medications, but in Chris’s defense- Mochi really doesn’t like the honkin’ large intercepter chew and it can be tough to fool him into eating it. I was concerned that I found pieces of the medicine mixed in with Mochi’s food in the big food bag- I believe Mochi just didn’t eat it and Chris mixed the leftover food (with medicine) back into the food bag. Overall I am very happy with Christopher and would use him again. Highly recommend!”

“Tricia was great with her drop in visits with our cat, Minou. Her detailed descriptions and photos made us feel at ease while we were away. She took care of giving Minou her medication every morning, played with her and gave her the attention she needed. Whenever Tricia had a question, she always asked, and was quick to respond to any comments that we had. Minou is not super playful, but Trisha was able to bring her out of her shell, which we loved.”
“Katie is amazing! I have a senior cat with high needs and she handled her regimen like a pro. Her notes after each visit are super detailed and warm — we looked forward to reading them each time. Katie is responsible, kind, and trustworthy. Excellent sitter.”
“Rachel is the best. She goes above and beyond when taking care of MeiMei (my cat). Meimei adores her and I know she’s in great hands with Rachel when I’m away.”
“Juli, thank you so much!! You took a really good care on our cat and definitely we want to continue working with you. All the reviews and photos left us calm, knowing that he was safe and is such good hands.”
“Sally is great! She’s very through with the tasks and took great care of my little ones and plants! I’ll definitely book her again when I’m out of town.”
About: We have been watching dogs throughout college and grad school at our house by the shore for 7 years. We wanted to continue watching our furry friends in the city! My boyfriend’s family bred Golden Retrievers growing up, and we are both very responsible and communicative with our stays. We have a 4 month old kitten who LOVES animals of all sizes! My boyfriend and I are both teachers! We have the exact same schedule and are home every day at 3pm as well as off weekends and holidays! We take our dogs on walks at the local park! If your dog isn’t good with others, no problem! We have a very quiet street and a lot of places to make sure they get the exercise they need!
“My cat was in great hands with Ed while I was away for an extended trip. He took excellent care of her, followed all instructions, and sent updates and videos for every visit. He even went the extra mile by checking on packages and watering my plants. He's truly outstanding!”
“Chastity did such an amazing job taking care of my cats, and was so communicative with me - sharing photos and updates unprompted! I came home so some happy and healthy kitties! :)”
“Alex was conscientious, timely, responsive, caring and judiciously insightful.

I enjoyed her daily correspondences and felt grateful to come home to a pair of healthy, happy kitties. Would hire her again definitely.”
“We can’t say enough about how happy we were with Angela’s care and attention to our cat Sophie for two weeks. This was the longest we have ever been away from our fur baby and Angela made us feel so at ease with her daily photo and videos put updates, as well as notes from each visit. We would recommend her to anyone in need of an expert cat sitter. Will be rebooking her for our next trip!”
“Yingchu was very responsive and was a huge help to us while we were away from our cat for the week. She kept us updated every day, showed up in a timely fashion, and followed all tasks! Would highly recommend using her services!”
“Lauren is an attentive, kind, and accommodating cat sitter. She watched my cat Wolfie while I was gone for five days and made sure he was doing well, played with him, and made sure he wasn’t causing trouble. I was updated everyday with photos of my cat son and how he was doing, which alleviated any nerves I had about leaving him at home. I am very happy I booked Lauren!”
“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.”
“Taylor was wonderful, sent very cute pictures of my cat. The house was perfect when I got home. My cat was well cared for by Taylor, would definitely recommend her to friends and family.”
“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!”
“Angela was absolutely wonderful. We had some difficulty with the lock the first day she visited and she persisted until she got in, which I was very grateful for. Her updates were thorough and it was clear that Mia has a great time with her while I was gone.”

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.
“Riemke and Nathan took wonderful care of our pup while we were in town for the day. We were so grateful that they were able to help us out at the last minute. Lily was in wonderful hands and seemed to have a great day with lots of walks and fun. She was comfortable immediately, and they stayed in touch with us through out the day. I would definitely recommend them for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Zyiana, was highly communicative and flexible. I needed doggy daycare for my fur baby in a pinch and she showed up. She provided tons of great photos along with taking my baby on 3 walks”
“Devon took such great care of Beans! Beans loves her so much and he had such a good time. She took lots of pictures and he was so enriched with his visit he slept through the night and morning! Highly recommend Devon!!”
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.

“Christopher helped us out for a last minute request to walk my dog. He was so attentive to all my requests and went above and beyond to help. I knew my dog was in good company with Christopher. I will definitely be booking him again and highly recommend him! Thank you!”
“Meghan did a great job with Ernie! She was communicative, responsive, available, and she took great care of my dog. This was my first time getting a walk from Meghan and she did a wonderful job — highly recommend !”
“My dogs liked Sabin immediately. My timid pup let Sabin pick him up, which he is normally very worried about even with me. Sabin is responsible, attentive and has positive energy that all of us appreciate! I highly recommend him!”
“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!!”
“Natalie has been wonderful with Bixby. She's worked with us as we navigate this new energetic pup into our lives by providing both care for Bixby and frequent updates to us during his weekday walks!”
“Pamela was patient and accommodating when the logistics of our trip made her job more difficult than expected. She is easy to communicate with, very responsive, friendly, and easy going. She came to our resort and walked our dog so we could enjoy longer days in the parks. Thanks Pamela!”
About: I've been an animal lover as long as i can remember. I grew up in a home with cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and geckos. As a professional pet companion, I have a handful of dedicated dog walking, checking, and house sitting clients as well as cat friends! I am looking forward to getting to know your pets personal preferences and supporting them live their best lives! I specialize in training dogs and supporting high needs pets in continuing their routines as close to normal in your absence! I have some existing dog walking/training clients and would love to add more. Let's have some adventures and promote your pets' wellness!! Flexible scheduling available. It is a vulnerable experience to allow folks into your home or to care for your loved ones. I appreciate the gravity of this and hold security and privacy in the highest regards. Can also provide references.
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have always had a deep love and respect for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, an adult dog, or a senior pet that needs extra patience and gentle care, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply companionship. I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine and provide attentive, reliable care whenever they need it, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and are always supervised in a safe environment. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“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!”
About: Caregiving is one of my favorite things to do. I try to value and nurture all relationships and interactions I have; including those with animals. On a daily basis, you could find me like a balance beam. Actively utilizing both a quick to move mentality and a one that likes to observe details. I’m an involved and hands on person. No matter the environment I’d like to make everyday enriching. Give me a challenge and you’ll have a player.
“Hannah has been a consistent support for my Husky Blue. I know Blue is well cared for and getting what he needs when Hannah is around. We are grateful for her help.”

“Christopher really put my mind at ease when I felt anxious about leaving Mochi for an extended boarding stay in an unfamiliar city. Mochi got more exercise than he ever gets with me and Christopher’s family’s home is beautiful and dog friendly (lots of doggie toys, cuddles on sofa, etc). I was a little worried about encounters with other dogs on walks (Mochi can be selectively dog aggressive). Christopher handled him like a champ and had no issues at all. There was a little trouble with medications, but in Chris’s defense- Mochi really doesn’t like the honkin’ large intercepter chew and it can be tough to fool him into eating it.

“Kerry took excellent care of our shy rescue pup, Samson. She was very communicative and provided lots of photos. Samson will be hanging out with Kerry again soon!”
“Liam was great with keeping me in the loop and sending pics! He was flexible with drop off and pick up. I’m glad Raff had some furry friends to play with as well :)”

“Dakota seemed so comfortable which is rare for him because he’s super anxious and old and set in his ways! I’m so grateful for Christin and I received pictures along the way and I will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Donte boarded my senior German Shepherd for 5 days including Christmas Day. She was well cared for, receiving her medications twice a day to manage her hip arthritis and pain from IVDD. She came home rested and without any signs of over exertion, which can be difficult to manage while other dogs are boarded. My only concern was that I had become used to Rover hires providing a daily update; I had not explicitly asked for this and Donte sent one unprompted update (on Christmas), but he was very quick to respond when I reached out to check in on her. He also offered an important observation at pick up about the length of my dogs back toenails, indicating careful attention to the dog’s wellbeing.”
“Liliana was so great with Bingo and I felt really confident he was being taken care of and cared for. I was updated, and questions were answered very quickly. I highly recommend Liliana with your pet if you want peace of mind.”
“Chazz is great! Zelda is happy and calm when I pick her up, and my mind is at ease knowing that she’s being taken care of by someone that’s kind, friendly and professional.”
“I’ve never left my 7/mo old german shepherd with anyone but my parents until Emma. GSDs are very unique, requiring a lot of reassurance and attention so I had been reluctant to hand her over to just any sitter. I could not be happier with the care and attention Emma gave to my pup Dela! She went above and beyond, watching her for just a day. Firstly, she was super flexible about a meet-and-greet before hand and clearly absorbed everything I shared about Dela considering how much the 2 of them enjoyed their time together. They went on several walks, played games, and even went to the beer garden that I can only bear with young Dela when I am in a good mood. Dela came back home happy as can be, ready for a good night sleep. I also really appreciated how communicative Emma was the whole day - sending pictures and asking clarifying questions when it came to my own house rules. HIGHLY recommend Emma!!”
“Our kitty Jack had a great time with Sara! He was comfortable and happy during his stay. Sara sent us daily updates and pictures of Jack and she was flexible with our schedule for drop off and pick up, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Sara!”
“Jasmine was the best dog sitter I could have asked for. She was very communicative, checking in often and sent plenty of photos while she had him for a few nights. I really felt like my dog was in great hands and I would absolutely use her services again. Thank you Jasmine!”
