“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!”
“Douglas is simply the BEST! My girlfriend and I left our Akita dog, Clay with him for 10 days! Throughout our vacation Douglas was in constant contact with us and sending us pictures to show how much Clay was enjoying his stay. Douglas' dog Tonka became a friend of Clays and when I came to pick Clay up, he was actually crying in the car because he knew he was leaving a great place. Its a testament to how well Douglas treated Clay during his stay. I highly recommend Douglas if you are looking for someone who genuinely LOVES dogs and will always keep in contact with you so you don't miss your pet!”
“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: 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.
“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!”
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.
“This was our first time boarding and Kathryn took excellent care of our dog. She gave us daily updates with photos, which really made us feel at ease. Smooth pick up and drop off. Highly recommend!”

“Was very happy to know my dog was in good hands. Consistent updates and pictures from Emiline nade sure i was kept anxiety free and in the loop during lokis stay. Pictures showed him visibly comfortable at her place. Hope to have him stay over again the next time I travel. THANK YOU SO MUCH for being accommodating not just to my dog but also to me.”
“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!!”
“Ariana and Andrew watched my dog over the holidays and it was a great experience! They sent photos each day and even got her a Christmas present. My dog got along great with their dog, Stella. This was the longest I had been away in awhile and Ariana and Andrew made sure my pup had a great time while I was away.”
“Marquis was great to work with for dog boarding. Even though my booking was on a day that he’s normally busy he was still willing to keep my dog. He was thoughtful and kept me informed with pictures of Mocha and updated me on how she was doing. I will definitely board with him again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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 :)”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors, but I also have volunteer as a Day Adventurer at ACCT. This has given me invaluable experience with diverse temperaments and leash-handling for dogs of all sizes. I grew up with dogs, but don’t currently have one of my own. Whether your dog requires a strict crate schedule, specific walk times, or high-energy exercise, I am happy to do whatever they need to feel safe and enjoy their time while your away. Availability: I recently ended employment at Penn as a Project Manger in June and currently enjoying summer- working from home on applications so I am ideally suited for dogs who enjoy a morning and evening "adventure" with a calm midday nap! My apartment is adjacent to park and SRT. I currently work full time as a research project manager at Penn M-F 9-5 with occasional WFH. I am free weekends for adventures with your pup. My apartment is neat and your dog can be free to roam or if has a certain crate schedule happy to follow. Right outside my apartment is a park with lots of green space and close to schuylkill river trail.

“Casey was fantastic and very professional. She came before visit for a meet and greet and was completely confident in learning how to give our fur buddy, Chick, his insulin shots. She sent pictures daily and even helped bring in our food delivery when we forgot to cancel it for our trip. The cats were chill and happy when we came back. We will definitely book Casey again on our next out of town.”
“We haven’t been on a week-long trip in a while, but we knew that Alyssa would take excellent care of our kitty while we were gone. Alyssa is kind, gentle, and observant, and she meets our kitty where she is.”
“Gabrielle was the best!! Took great care of my kitties, kept me updated about everything, and sent the best pics:) Was so attentive to my chronically ill cat and made leaving her not as hard”
“We’ve had some cat sitters that wouldn’t even attempt to play or get to know the cats. Alyssa is the exact opposite. She is so great and really spends as much quality time as they’ll allow during the visits. She provides great updates and pics as always.”
“Sarah is very professional and did a great job checking on our cat. She fed him, checked the litter, and gave him some quality play time. Thanks, Sarah!”
“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!”
“Our cats love Destiny! They always seem so engaged when she shares how her visits went. Destiny is extremely helpful and communicative. She also administers medication and really ensures the cats are engaged.”
“Zahra is great. Great communication and super easy to work with, even without doing the meet-and-greet, she was able to take care of our kitties exactly as we described. She is very attentive, kept us updated all the time, and sent a lot of photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Olivia was so great with our boy! You could tell he was so comfortable with her because she shared a picture where he had his belly out! Really appreciated her attention to detail - even asking about an anti-anxiety medication we had out for him but that we didn’t provide any instructions for. Would love to book your services again - thank you for giving our boy so much love!”
“It was the first time we booked Lauren for drop-in visits with our cat, and we would definitely book her again! She was super communicative while we were away and kept us posted with great detail and lots of photos. Our cat seemed to love her from Day 1 and we came home to a happy kitty. :)”
“Kelly did such an excellent job caring for my two cats. She’s kind and communicates clearly. My cats are shy but were happy and comfortable when she came over. Would definitely rebook!”
“Maggie was AMAZING, in every possible way!!! She responded quickly to my (very last minute) request, offered to come do a walk through prior to my trip, sent pictures and updates everyday during throughout our trip and was just an overall joy to work with! My 3 cats were very well taken care of, including our one cat who needs eyedrops everyday, and Maggie was amazing administering her meds!! Could not recommend her more and will definitely be rebooking for sure!!!! You’re the best Maggie :)”
“John is the best !! He is very communicative before and during his visits assuring that everything goes smoothly. I never worry about my 🐈⬛ while he’s in John’s care. 😇😇😇”
About: I have had a cat my whole life, I have my own baby, Valerie, who is 7 years old and absolutely adore cats. I have met many cats with a spectrum of personalities, and have loved every one!
“Fantastic sitter! Made sure our cat, Wink, was well accommodated. Went above and beyond expectations. Great communication and plenty of photos to see our kitty while away!”
“Daniel was great with our senior cat who is a little quirky and needs meds twice per day. He was communicative, responsive, and sent plenty of photos. Would highly recommend for any pet care needs!”
“Bianca did daily drop ins to check in on our cat. She was great at coming around the same day and sending us pictures/communicating how our cat was doing. We’d love for her to check in on him 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!”
“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! 🥰”
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.
“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!”

“Megan, John & Brisco were amazing with Connery! He was right at home with them, enjoying plenty of walks and snuggles. They were super attentive, accommodating & responsive while I was away for work and jury duty.”
“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.”
“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?”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
About: I have had and taken care of pets my whole life! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish, you name it. I have a sweet-hearted dog named Yumi, who is a Husky / Rottweiler mix, that my partner and I rescued in 2023. I’m great with all dogs and cats, young and energetic, or older and in need of a bit of care. My primary job is as a wedding videographer. Meaning that I have a lot of time free during the weekdays that I can dedicate to caring for your best friend! I have a large row home with a backyard, and Yumi gets along great with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to spend quality time with your pup in your home, or take them for a good long walk!
“Colin was great! Super patient and willing to work with our sweet girls quirks. Lady Bug came home well regulated and well tired out from her day and we look forward to booking with Colin 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!”
“Emily was so sweet and kept me updated on how my baby was doing throughout the day. She was very quick to respond and flexible. I could tell Peachy was comfortable with her and had a positive day in her care.”

“Carolyn was an excellent dog walker! She took my little pup for long enough walks to tire him out while I worked long hours, even in the crazy heatwaves. I knew she cared for Skippy by always refilling his water at home and giving him lots and love and attention. I will definitely use Carolyn again for my pet sitting needs.”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with my two pups! She sent me detailed updates and lots of pictures too. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Sarah was wonderful with my anxious rescue pup. She had some great ideas for a gradual intro and was warm and patient and really kind. Thank you Sarah!”
“Klaire is great! She was very comfortable checking in on my dog and giving her some medication post-hospitalization. And she kept me updated on how my girl was doing during the visit and made me comfortable leaving my dog in her care!”
“Luke was amazing with my two boys! He was super attentive and was transparent when figuring out the walking schedule. I appreciated him giving me updates and pictures about the walks and my boys seemed tired but happy after each walk. I hope to use him again!”
“Anne was so great with my pup! I was out of town for the night and she made sure my Darla was well taken care of. Appreciated the attentiveness and all of the updates :)”
“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!”
“Michelle has been walking Roxy for a few months. On this last occasion, her door code expired. She waited for 20+ mins while trying to get in contact with me while I was at work to ensure Roxy was walked. I was so grateful. Above and beyond!”
“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 😊”
“Karyssa has been an incredible dog walker and an absolute lifesaver for me and my pup. She’s reliable, punctual, and clearly loves what she does. From day one, she took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and needs, which made a huge difference in how quickly my dog warmed up to her. Each walk is more than just a bathroom break—Karyssa makes sure my dog gets real exercise, stimulation, and attention. She always provides thoughtful updates and pictures after every visit, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear that she genuinely cares and treats my dog like her own. Having someone I can trust with my pet is priceless, and I’m so thankful to have found Karyssa. She’s dependable, kind, and passionate, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Samatha was wonderful with Bently! She came over to meet him ahead of time, was very communicative throughout the walks, and did a great job bringing him out of his shyness shell. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Adam did a great job. He communicated well, was punctual, friendly and got along great with my dog. He is clearly an animal lover who creates a healthy, fun environment for your pet. I would highly recommend Adam for your dog walking needs.”
“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!!”
“Quynh was not only super nice and playful with our dog, but made sure to reach out whenever she had a question or a request to make our dog feel more comfortable. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Colin is everything you want in a dog walker. He is reliable, responsive and professional. It’s also obvious how much he cares about dogs. We will absolutely use him any time he is available and we have the need.”

Danielle was very communicative with me while Moose's was with her and I'd highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kerry was a dream! My boy is sweet and very much a "people" dog. He was attacked before the rescue folks picked him up, so he's a bit reactive if he feels unsafe. Kerry was kind, attentive, and sweet on my boy. We will 100% use her services again. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Laurel was fantastic! She took great care of our pup, sent us pics and videos during our vacation so we could see all the fun Biscuit was having. She looked after our dog just like one of her own, and even made a paw print Christmas ornament. We’ll definitely book with Laurel again for future dog sitting.”
“I was able to enjoy a weekend away stress free because I knew that my Coco was in great hands with Logan. It’s fortunate for me that he doesn’t discriminate in any way shape or form & was one of very few that was willing to watch her. She smiled & was happy, safe, & was spoiled rotten. Thank you Logan💗”
“Iliana sent pictures of howie throughout the weekend and I could tell he was having a great time with her and Luna. Especially loved the picture of him in the Eagles jersey!”
“Becky and Travis were perfect. It was our first time having someone “board” Etta. We only had a couple days to find someone, and they were willing to squeeze in a meet and greet to help ease our minds. It was evident through photos and texts that Etta was having an amazing time with Becky, Travis, and their pups- and being treated with care and love. She was even sent home with a handmade bandana! We’re so thankful!”
