“Rhea was great with my pup! She provided regular walks and updates. My fauna is a very picky eater and Rhea was very patient and understanding with her, all around excellent care!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“We would 100% rebook with Christin! Everything was so smooth and friendly that we know that Finn had an amazing time. Loads of updates and super fast communication. Thanks again for taking in Finn :)”
“Rebecca was a terrific sitter. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She kept us up to date with lots of photos and messages and we came home to a happy pup. We will definitely be using Rebecca’s services in the future.”
“Jennifer & her family took the best care of my dog, Luigi. Jennifer kept me updated daily about how Luigi was doing at her home with photos and any updates from that day. I truly appreciated how communicative she was with me during his stay. Her home is honestly the best set up for dog boarding and she did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. Her yard has a great space for dogs to let their energy out and she has dogs, cats and rabbits (along with other animals) that my dog got to interact with during his stay. Luigi had a blast with Jennifer and her family and I am certain he can’t wait to visit them again. I highly recommend Jennifer’s boarding service and will certainly be seeing her again for another boarding!”
“Melanie was able to watch my dog Sophia on fairly short notice when I had to go out of town. She was flexible and responsive. Sophia had a great time with her dog Pippa and it seemed like she was sad to leave so I know she was in great care.”
“Emelie and her family took very good care of dog. She kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages which was much appreciated. She has a terrific fenced in back yard which allows dogs to run around in a safe environment. Thank you Emelie!”
“Zyiana was amazing!!! What a wonderful dog sitter, she treated my two dogs aka my babies with amazing care, she was wonderful at communication, timely and sent frequent updates and photos which was so reassuring for me!! I would 10/10 recommend Zyiana for any dog sitting needs.”
“Kristin was wonderful with Charlie, and when I had a slight change in plans was able to accommodate them very easily. Was always responsive and sent me lots of photos from the weekend. Will definitely send Charlie back!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory 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.”
“Mary was an incredible sitter. She shared daily updates, photos and videos so I was assured that my dog, Lyle, was not only being cared for, but being spoiled! Lyle got multiple daily walks, special treats, toys, and ample snuggles. I cannot recommend Mary and her husband enough! Can’t wait to rebook with them next time we need care for our sweet boy!”
“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“Avalon and I had a wonderful experience with Yuhan and her family! Extremely friendly and accommodating and very easy to work with. Avalon loved her time there (as evidenced by her complete lack of anxiety when I picked her up, something she’s struggled with in the past) and I will definitely be reaching out to Yuhan for all future dog-boarding needs.”

“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Nicolle was amazing with our new puppy! We have only had her for 2 weeks, so we were nervous about leaving her with a sitter, but Nicolle put us at ease. She was prompt in her responses both prior to the booking and during the booking and sent photos. Our pup came back happy and well cared for”
“Maria was absolutely amazing taking care of Mac. She made sure he got enough exercise and playtime while also giving him space to wind down and relax. Mac ending up being on prescription diet during the boarding and Maria followed it perfectly! I was so thankful she was able to watch him and I will definitely be booking again. I also really appreciated the updates throughout the day about the various activities she did with Mac. Additionally, her dog Cookie was super playful with Mac despite the large difference in their size. Mac truly seemed like he was having a great time which brought me piece of mind for his stay.”

“Julianne is such a reliable cat sitter! Super responsive on the app, takes a great care of our cat Sonny and always sends detailed notes and a lot of pictures!”

“We had a great experience with Sydney! Communication was perfect and she was easy to work with. She provided excellent care for our 2 cats, one of whom needs both an inhaler and a pill. Our cats seemed to be really comfortable with her despite one being very shy. Highly recommend her!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life. From growing up with family pets to having my own, I've taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I work from home, so I'll be able to provide your dog with the care and attention they need. I can also provide basic training skills, if necessary. I currently have one dog named Koda. He's very friendly, affectionate, and well trained. He gets along well with all dogs and loves any human that will give him attention. He would love to host your furry companion! I work fully remote from home so I am available all during the week with a good amount of availability on the weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard where they'll be able to play. I take Koda on three walks a day and to the Wissahickon or other parks in the area most weekends so your dog will get plenty of exercise and stimulation.
About: Hi! We’re Electra and Crescent. We love travel, food and animals! 🐾 We’re lifelong pet parents who have shared our home with cats and dogs for decades. We currently live with three cats of our own (2 belonged to my late mother) Kiki the senior Russian blue, Helena the toothless full figured queen and Charles Mr. Humpty Dumpty. We genuinely love caring for animals and understand the unique needs of picky eaters, seniors, energetic and active animals or pets who prefer calm, low-stress environments. We call Charles our “special needs baby” since he is neutered but loves to hump his cat toy (Matilda) Kiki was my mom’s cat who is a senior and has IBD aside from her IBD (which we are managing) she’s a very quiet, laid back cat that likes her quality time. Helena was my mom’s cat and talk about food focused! Despite having only 2 bottom teeth this thick beauty don’t let that stop her! 🐾 I’m Electra and I’m available most of the day. My husband Crescent works Monday–Friday during the day (usually finished by late afternoon). This gives us excellent flexibility for pet sitting: • Boarding at our home: We can typically do pet pickups early evenings or anytime on weekends. • Drop-offs: You can bring your pet anytime. We can also do pickups for you Monday–Friday after 5 pm or anytime on weekends. Since I’m home I can provide personalized, attentive care for your furry family members. Whether it’s longer walks, extra play sessions, or simply quiet companionship for pets that get lonely, we tailor our care to what each animal needs. We board cats (up to 3) or small-medium dogs (up to 2) at a time. We have a dedicated spare bedroom that works beautifully as a cozy “cat hotel” or “doggie retreat” — complete with a litter box, cat tree, twin bed, toys and TV for background noise. Your pets get complete free-roaming access in this room with no crates. Privacy with one family at a time to ensure a calm, stress-free environment for your pet with access to ring camera for boarding stays. We’ll ensure that your cats have a freshly clean litter box daily, interaction multiple hours a day, great window view for birdwatching and followed feeding routine. Your dogs will have plenty of time outside, I’m available and can provide multiple walks and engagement throughout the day, with comfortable indoor space for relaxation and eating routines. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry babies are safe and in a controlled space. We offer Ring camera access so you can check in anytime, plus daily text updates with photos and details about how their day went. When we visit your home, we’re extremely mindful of your pet’s normal routines. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime if they crave it, or respectful space if they prefer quiet time — always with their comfort and happiness as our top priority.
“Yuhan was able to care for my corgi Luna as I made a last minute daycare request. When I picked up Luna she looked so happy that she was smiling all night. That’s my biggest indicator that Yuhan cared for my fur baby as I would at home.”
“Valerie and David did an excellent job with Leo's house sitting. They were on time and followed all the instructions. Leo loved them. I am looking forward to have more pet sitting with them.”
About: Hi, my name is Shandara. I live in Roxborough and I have a Standard poodle named Biscotti. Biscotti and I love to go on long walks and explore the neighborhood. If you live in the area, you’ve probably seen us around! Biscotti is so adorable and we love to try fun haircuts, so he tends to attract a lot of attention. I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish. I’ve had my own dog now for 5 years and I’ve been trusted by many family members and friends to care for their pets. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the struggle and anxiety that come with needing to find the right care. We all hope for someone responsible and loving who will make our pet feel right at home. My hope is to be that person for you. My goal is to provide exceptional care so you can enjoy your time away knowing that your loved one is in good hands. I recently left my 9-5 in Investment Operations to pursue my dreams of working for myself. I’m home all day, every day of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your fur baby. Finding the right caretaker is an investment and you can rest assured you’re making the right decision with me! I have a small fenced in yard and one friendly dog who would be happy to keep your fur baby company. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet is safe & comfortable whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“Amazing service, would highly recommend!! Yulia and Kevin were amazing with my shetland sheepdog Grizzly! Very responsive, easy to work with, kept me up to date with pictures/videos of their walks and daily activities! We had a meet/greet with their pups before the visit, made sure he was up-to-date on shots/vet appts, and asked great questions before the visit to get to know Grizzly better. It was one of the first times leaving him for a weekend trip and I knew he would be in good hands; Yulia and Kevin (and Lola) are the best!”
“Katie was an amazing dog sitter. She was very responsive through the rover app and sent us updates with the status of our puppy. My dog had so much fun playing with her pups (he came back and fell right asleep). We ran an hour late with picking up our dog and she was VERY understanding. I couldn’t ask for better service and I know my dog, Monty, can’t wait to play with her dogs again.”
“Our 4-month puppy LOVES going to daycare at Emelie’s! He has a great time with his playmates and comes back home happy and tired—never overexcited or stressed out. Emelie is able to take care of a lot of dogs, let them play and rest, and even give them love. She has a spacious home and a great fenced backyard where her 4-paw guests can run, play, and go to the bathroom. Highly recommended.”
“Becky was awesome! Our dog clearly had a great time and came home tired after having a playful, active day with lots of attention. Becky was incredibly responsive from the time I sent the initial request, to providing us updates throughout the day, showing attention to detail and our dog's schedule. This did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated! Definitely recommend using Becky!!”
“Winter had a very good time with them. He came home happy and energetic. Looks like he had lots of fun with cookie. Thank you both for taking good care of winter.”
“A wonderful place for our dog! Lauren & Mark made Lenny feel at home; they even welcomed him on their sofa! Their dog Cooper and young girls were sweet and gentle. Highly recommend!”
About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments from both owning them and volunteering at shelters. I have worked for other companies dog sitting both for overnight stays and for daily visits. I will provide compassionate care for your pet as well as fast paced walks to make sure the pups are tired and comfortable until you come home or my next visit. I am patient and allow dogs to come to me when they are comfortable doing so. I am otherwise self employed and work from home / make my own schedule, so I only leave the house for appointments some days and for limited time. I have a friendly and emotionally mature 5 yr old cattle dog mix who loves to spend time in our fenced yard or on walks, especially with other dogs! If you prefer drop ins or walks at your house I can leave him home, or do a mini pack walk and bring him only if preferred.

I also have experience recognizing canine body language, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring dogs feel comfortable and secure. In addition to my experience with dogs, I currently work as a Physical Therapy Aide, which has strengthened my responsibility, communication, and attention to detail. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and exercise while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I am currently a college student in an accelerated Doctor of Physical Therapy program and work part-time, so my schedule varies throughout the week. I do my best to be flexible and will always communicate my availability in advance. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during many evenings, weekends, and other times my schedule allows. I’ll always provide dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while treating your home with the same respect and care I would my own.

About: We’ve both grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. As dog parents to our German Shepherd mix, Toast, we understand the importance of consistency, patience, and routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, and providing calm, attentive care. We treat every dog like our own and aim to make them feel safe and at home. I mostly work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My husband is very active, available on weekends, and does not work most Fridays, so together we offer flexible, reliable coverage for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. We have a fenced-in yard and a friendly young (and sometimes excitable) dog who enjoys supervised interactions. Between the two of us, pets receive consistent attention throughout the day. We maintain a safe, clean environment and carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions.
