“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.”
“Zyiana was very responsive with her communication. I appreciated her flexibility when we need to extend our time. She was very attentive by sending daily updates and photo’s. She took good care of our pup!”
“Jennifer was amazing. Took care of our 1 year old pup on short notice and couldn’t have been more pleasant or easier to coordinate with. She sent us pictures and kept us updated through the day and took very good care of Boots.”
“Lucy had the best time with Shadow and Kerry! It was the first time I’ve left Lucy with anyone another than family and it was so good knowing she was well taken care of. Kerry sent plenty of updates on their time and how much fun the pups were having. I can tell Lucy already misses them and can’t wait to go back.”
“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!”
“Rhea was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend enough. Great communication and really good questions when any issues came up. I will be using them again for sure”
“Natalie was a great host — super communicative and sent several pics and updates for our pup’s overnight stay. Her dog, Luna, is also super friendly and great with guests. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Alexis was incredible with Koda!! It was my first time using the boarding feature with Rover but after meeting Alexis I was completely assured that Koda would be in good hands. Alexis gave daily updates and pics and made sure Koda felt comfortable while away from home.”
“John is the absolute best. He and his equally hospitable Boston Terrier, Parker, took care of our Wheaten Dolly for two weeks. We were nervous having never left her with anyone for that long, but he provided us with regular (and often very funny) updates about how Dolly was doing. He took the time to understand Dolly and worked with her on some of her issues. She only sleeps on her back when she feels safe and secure, and many of the photos John sent showed her snoozing away on her back, paws in the air. She came back clean, brushed, and although she was excited to see me I think she was a little sad to say goodbye to John and Parker. We will absolutely be relying on John in the future and are so grateful to the kindness he showed us and Dolly.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. 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!”
“Ginger was the best! She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times as my schedule was a little up in the air. She took Puddle for an hour walk and sent fun pictures and updates throughout the visit. I 100% recommend Ginger!”
“Eric was the BEST! I went international for 10 days and never had to worry. Joey came back happy and I knew he was loved. Thank you, Eric! Consider yourself added to my Rover rolodex. :)”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“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 💕”
“Kristina was incredible! It was my first time booking a boarding session with Rover and she was so easy to work with sent me plenty of detailed updates about her fun weekend with Watson. She helped to make everything go smoothly! Thank you!!”
“Christina did a great job of taking care of my Pomeranian! She was very responsive to my messages and was very kind about being accommodating for my flight delays.”
“Joy was great with my dog! Very responsive and sent me lots of pictures. She also assisted with pick up and drop off, and my dog came home happy. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. :)”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“Nicole and Sam are amazing! Ace loves it there! He has many girlfriends he gets to snuggle with. Bam tends to be more high maintenance and this was his first time there and he is acting like himself when I brought him home versus being scared and timid. He even interacted with the other dogs which he definitely hasn’t done before. I appreciate their patience and understanding. I had a flight canceled and they were able to accommodate me in keeping my boys an extra day. I hope to be able to use them again to take good care of my boys.”
“Very friendly and sent tons of pictures. Our little guy seemed like he had a great time and came home completely exhausted. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks!”

“Gabrielle took excellent care of our cat, Ari, giving her lots of attention and play time. Gabrielle left a very detailed note of the visit accompanied by lots of adorable photos! Thank you again, Gabrielle, I appreciate you taking care of Ari as if she was your own!”
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!
“Zahra is absolutely amazing, I could not recommend her more. I will use her services for as long as she’s available and we are both in the same city. She cared for Evee as if she were her own and gave such thorough updates I had no worries about her care the whole weekend I was away. Evee is either anxious or a lover depending on how she feels about you, she’s a great teller of humans, and when she purrs for someone other than me, she knows you’re a special one. When Zahra sent a recording of her purring, I melted. Thank you Zahra for everything!”
“Lauren is awesome to work with and does such a wonderful job when she visits our cat, Athena. We come home each time to a happy and well-taken care of kitty.”
“Amal was absolutely wonderful! She did a meet and greet with us before our trip so that we could show her what was needed for our two cats while we were gone. She was so attentive, jotted down notes, and was just so pleasant to communicate with. She took photos and shared updates each day. We felt so grateful to know that our two cats were being looked after by someone so professional and caring. We will absolutely book with Amal again in the future!”
“Daniel is always amazing with my cat Roy! He’s so comfortable around him, and whenever I return Roy is always happy and healthy. Daniel is communicative and easy to work with. I’ve rebooked several times and will again in the future!”
“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.”
“Kiirsten was amazing!!! I was able to travel and have peace of mind knowing that she was taking good care of my pet. She provided notes and pictures during each session and was very communicative. Greatly appreciate the care you provided!”
“Michelle was so diligent in caring for my cats. She followed every instruction; it was also a pleasure to meet her before we left for our trip. I hope she will be available for future trips we are taking this year!”
“Rachelle was amazing. She took great care of our four cats and sent pictures and updates daily. We were able to relax knowing our fur babies were in such great hands. Would highly recommend her and will book her again for sure!”
“Kelly is fantastic! I have used her multiple times and she is so thorough and caring. The cats love her and even my very skittish boy will come out for her. I highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs!”
“Great Caretaker of our cats and kept us up to date while we were gone overseas. Really appreciate that he was willing to book us several months in advance.”
“Olivia took great care of our two kitties while we were away for a week. She even won over our shy cat who usually hides with strangers. She was reliable and communicative. Would recommend!”
“Alyssa was so good with my high energy little kitty! Eveb thiugh he was more shy than usual she was patient with him and he warmed up enough to play. It was great peace of mind to know she was looking in on him while I was away. Thank you so much!”
“Lisbet was great! She was patient and flexible through the booking process, was easy to communicate with, and very responsive. Both my pets are old men and she didn’t bat an eye at their senior quirks. I’d be very happy to rebook with her in the future!”
“Bogs is a little bit wary and that can show up in orneriness but John was great at just being a calming presence and giving Bogs what he needed. He was a great communicator and very easy to work with—will use again!”
About: Hi! I’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Maine Coon-ish cat named Mr. Keats… he didn’t meow, he made a funny “Keat” sound, and the name stuck! Ever since then, I’ve had a soft spot for cats of all kinds! These days, we help care for a group of feral cats in our backyard and love spending time with our friends’ cats whenever we get the chance. Whether your cat is shy, social, playful, or just likes a good window perch, we’d be thrilled to keep them company while you’re away. We know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and we’re here to provide love, attention, and plenty of scratches (if they’re into that!). We’d love to meet your cat(s) and make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re gone!

“Sarah is amazing. She took such great care of my puppy Tuna. She is responsive and keeps me up-to-date throughout the day. Tuna got along really well with her dog, Harry. Tuna loved her stay and I'm sure she did not want to leave!”

“John was fantastic with my Fifi. Five minutes after I dropped her off he sent me photos and a message letting me know she was fine and already playing with his dog, Parker. This was our first date but we will definitely return. Thank you John!”
“Quynh was phenomenal! Tango absolutely loved his stay. We received tons of pictures and messages throughout the day and it was great to see how much fun he was having with Quynh (especially in her yard)! Quynh was really great with communication and made the drop off / pick up process super easy. She took great care of him and she will be our go to for future doggy daycare services!”

“We hit traffic on the way to picking up our girlies and Kiara couldn’t have been more patient and kind. By far our favorite sitter for our two chaotic little rescue dogs. We appreciate you so much Kiara!!”
“Pat was very patient with both Sammy and myself, especially in trying to find his apartment! I had a very stressful day and kept getting confused. Sammy was a rescue with a horrible background and Pat was very careful handling him. Pat took him out for walks several times and Sammy loved being out on his patio! Pat sent several updates and pictures of Sammy during the day. Will be using him every time I go into Philly for my medical appointments.”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 16 years, caring for my beloved papillon, Terri. Through years of caring for my own pet and pet-sitting for friends and family, I understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and confident while you’re away. I offer long walks up to three times a day—morning, midday, and late afternoon—as well as house-sitting services in the local area. I take the time to learn your pet’s routines, habits, and favorite activities so they can stay happy, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment. You can trust that your furry friend will be treated with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible during the week and weekends. I typically plan up to three walks each day—morning, midday, and late afternoon. In My Home: I ensure my space is pet-friendly, with designated areas for play and relaxation. I maintain a routine that includes regular feeding times and walks . I also keep fresh water available at all times and monitor for any signs of discomfort or illness. In Clients’ Homes: I follow the specific care instructions provided by the pet owner, which includes feeding schedules, preferred activities, and any medications. I focus on maintaining the pet’s routine to minimize stress. I also provide regular updates to the owner, sharing photos and messages to keep them informed.
“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.”
“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.”

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.

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!
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.
About: Grew up with dogs my entire life and was required to train and care for them. As an adult, I have trained multiple dogs to AKC standards - my own dogs as well as training for family and friends. My exercise is my dogs exercise- think walks and runs around the neighborhood. During the day they will have the company of my pups to keep them entertained. Then I am home and available to give belly scratches while we watch TV. Have a large rooftop to soak up the sun with high walls for security. When your pup is here, it will be treated like my own - no problem with them being on couches or beds. I have crates available if that is preferred.

She also has her own dog, Snow, who is very sweet and great with other dogs. She gave Jerry lots of good company”
