“Theo took such great care of Gus! I got lots of photos while I was away and Gus looked so happy in all of them and he wasn't anxious at all when I picked him up. Theo also suggested we do a meet and greet beforehand which eased my own anxiety about leaving Gus for almost a week. I would definitely book with Theo again!”
“Madeline was wonderful with my dog Charlie. He is often very timid with new people and dogs, but he seemed to adjust well to Madeline's home. She sent lots of updates and photos, and he looked very happy. It was my first time using Rover, and I will definitely ask Madeline to take care of Charlie again when I need to travel in the future.”

I’d definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a solid sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a responsible, attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different temperaments and needs, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and plenty of affection. I’m currently working toward graduate school, so this is a way to support that goal while doing something I enjoy. Because of that, I take every booking seriously and treat each pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My availability includes mornings, evenings, and weekends, with flexibility for drop-in visits. I work during the day, but I am able to accommodate care before and after work, as well as additional visits when needed. I am committed to being dependable and making sure your pets schedule is maintained as closely as possible. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any specific routines your dog/cat is used to. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times and keep a close eye on behavior to ensure your pet is happy and healthy. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“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!!!”
About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).
“Sabrina and her boyfriend were great. My dog is a bit anxious in general, and especially when he is in a new environment. Sabrina answered all of my questions, quickly responded to my texts, and updated me daily on my dog. I recommend her as a dog sitter and would use her again.”
“Hands down the most amazing sitter! The pictures and videos sent showed how loved my baby was. So much so when I came to pick her up. She greeted me and went right back into their home. Will 100% book with her again and highly recommend”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“I would like to just say thank you. This was my first time boarding my son dog and was anxious beyond words. She made sure my pup was loved and cared for. 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.”
“My puppy and I were in great hands with Jacob--he was so sweet with my dog and very kind/collaborative when I had an unexpected flight delay. Thank you so much!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Christopher, he has been my regular cat sitter now, he truly goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are well taken care of and really has built a bond with my cats, the most recent week while Dara away there was an issue in my house that Christopher truly helped me with which is far outside of what his responsibilities are, he really is just a great human and I’m so glad I have him to look after my fur babies when I’m away!”
“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.”
About: I grew up with many different animals and taking time to learn behaviors and what they like means alot to me. I love dogs personally and getting to spend time with them and learning and caring for them is really important. Im a part time student and I think pet sitting/walking is very convient for me. I have alot of time and willing to spend that time with animals I always made time for my pets and learned around them to make them comfortable with the environment and people, unfortunately I have family that are allergic so I dont have any anymore. In my clients home I prefer for it to be clean and make sure its space for pets to have a good stretch
“Kyra is an excellent sitter and went above and beyond for my cat when I was away for 2.5 weeks. She bonded quickly with my cat and spent quality time with her. After I came back, my cat was clearly happy, healthy and very well fed with treats 😊 I hope to work with Kyra again in the future!”
“Ana was absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful for her. She took care of our elderly, diabetic cat Hannah (who also has CKD) while my partner and I were away. Ana expertly administered the plethora of medications (oral and injectable) and checked Hannah’s blood glucose via glucometer. She was also extremely patient when feeding her and cleaned up after Hannah had a couple accidents in her bed. I was especially appreciative of Ana’s flexibility and attention to detail when Hannah’s needs changed shortly before my trip after we had booked. Ana was very communicative as well and sent us plenty of updates and pics during her check-ins. I would recommend Ana to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter who can manage complex cats like my own. A million thank you’s to Ana and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren was a fantastic cat sitter. She was very easy to communicate with, punctual, and Butters my cat didn’t even seem to miss me when I returned! I am looking forward to working with Lauren again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Chelsea was such a wonderful drop in sitter for us while we were away for the holidays! Ours boys were contented, healthy, and well fed. She was a great communicator and made us feel totally at ease with being gone!”

“Madeline was great. Took good care of my pup, he didn't wanna go when i picked him up! She was great at responding to any questions and even sent me some pics of Fenn enjoying himself at her house.”
“Nicole saved us when my sitter cancelled last minute. Meeko and Eevee were totally comfortable with her and she sent pictures as they settled in and on their walk. They had a great time. We would definitely pick her next time we are local!”
“I did a meet and greet with Samantha and her resident dog, and I immediately knew that my little puppy would be safe and in good hands with her. She understands dog behavior and we watched and made sure that my dog would be nice to her sweet dog. The next day I dropped my doggie for some doggy daycare and as to be expected, he seemed a little nervous when I left him, and Samantha reassured me that after a few minutes, he would be fine -and he was. Just like other reviewers have noted when I went to pick up my little guy he did not seem to want to go home with me. He let me know with his body language that he was very happy and having fun. Samantha and her partner are genuine “dog people”. My dog is very selective with men and he immediately showed affection towards Samantha‘s boyfriend. They have the knowledge and patience you’re looking for.”
“Alex was very responsive and able to accept a last minute request. He sent pictures as promised and Rosie was calm and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Alex again.”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our dog during a last minute family manner. She provided feedback during our dog's visit and would recommend her for any future requests.”
“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”
“We had a mixup on timing (my fault) and Paula was great! Understanding and flexible!! Most appreciate it. Oh yes and my doggie is so happy with her!”
“Londyn has been so great to our Penny! Penny is very anxious and has trouble sometimes in new spaces - Londyn has been patient and kind and made Penny feel comfortable”

I have experience with varying ages up till 18 years old. I have extensive experience with senior dogs as well. I am available most of the time during the day and night! I know many parks and dogs parks in the Philadelphia area that are safe and fun for all breeds and ages. I love cuddling, walking, playing and all things dogs. I promise to take care of your dog like it was my own. Having a pet myself means that your pet will fit right into our schedule no matter the request!

I am extremely careful to make sure that pets stay safe and feel comfortable while they are being cared for. I can send text and/or photo updates as requested.
“Chris is a fantastic dog walker and sitter. He was able to do a couple of daycare days for Whimzy when we needed to have work done at the house last minute, which is immensely helpful. Chris is so good with Whimzy, and she loves spending time with him. We're very grateful for Chris!”
“Such a great experience with Sarah and her family. This was my first time leaving my girl with someone I didn’t know. They made me feel very comfortable at our meet and greet. They were extremely accommodating and took great care of her. She was happy when I picked her up at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Sarah and Anthony. I will be using them again. Thx”
About: Hello! My name is James. I am a teacher in Philadelphia with lots of time on my hands this summer. Throughout my life I have frequently been tasked with taking care of pets of many different shapes, sizes, and species. Whether it be a timid cat who just needs somebody to check up on them, or a an energetic shepherd that needs constant walks, I can do whatever you need. Starting on June 13th, I will be free all day, every day! Although I have the summer off, my sleep schedule is seldom changed. I am an early riser and early to bed (5:30-6am wake up and 10:00-10:30 lights out). My schedule is very open, other than the 3 meals and a morning trip to the gym, and I am open to shaping my routine around whatever your pet needs. My apartment isn't very big. It is not small enough to be called cramped, so there is definitely some space to move around (~900ft2). I live right off of Rittenhouse Square (about 400 feet away), so there is plenty of space to play around. For boarding, I am a very neat and tidy. I take up very little space and am good to sleep on a couch if that is ever an issue. I know my way around a cleaner closet so I am able to clean up any accident with no issues.
“Brigette was incredible! She is the first rover in Philly we’ve tried and we don’t have to look any further! Both our pups immediately loved and and felt comfortable. Brigette sent us tons of pics and updates - the best kind of sitter! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys!”
“Rosie had a wonderful day with Kanade. She kept her busy with fun activities and let me know how she was doing all day with adorable videos and pictures! I will definitely use Kanade again soon! ❤️”

“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!”
“We had a great time meeting Greg for our first meet and greet/walk. He even made Pinto feel at ease - and that’s a tough sell. We are looking forward to booking future walks and pet sitting with Greg.”
About: As a dedicated wildlife and pet caretaker with a passion for understanding and protecting animal habitats, I have spent years immersed in the wonders of the natural world. As a pet owner for over six years, I’ve deepened my appreciation for the unique bonds that form between humans and animals, whether in our homes or in the wild. Currently, I take care of my beloved rescue Siberian husky Niko. As well I spend some of my free time looking after my friend’s dogs and cats. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for pets' minds and bodies. Currently I’m a student at Drexel university and have a very flexible schedule. I’m free Thursday-Sunday mostly in the mornings to late afternoons. Depending on the day I can also do evenings It is important to that pets are comfortable and feel safe all conditions. I make it a rule of thumb to keep dogs on leash during public walks and around other pets. If there is a fenced in area I will make it a priority to check and see if the area is properly supervised and secure for your pet. On regular walks having fun is always number 1. If your pet wants to chill inside and needs cuddles, or wants to take an extra adventure i’m always down.
“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!”

“Rob is the best - so thorough and thoughtful. Our little dog loves him, and I’m always so grateful for his ability to accommodate last minute!”
“We booked Lauren last minute based on her stellar reviews and were not disappointed! Super communicative and great with our high anxiety dog. Already have booked her again!”
“Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.”
“Gianna is a true gem!!! I used her today to walk Bear and Bailee and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was punctual, followed all instructions to the letter communicated thoroughly, provided detailed information and explanations and provided pictures. There’s nothing more I could’ve asked for! I have found the perfect dog walker for Bear and Bailee! Thanks Gianna!”
About: Hi, I'm Kaylee! I have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets and genuinely love working with animals. I currently offer dog walking, cat sitting, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I've owned cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, as well as a large, energetic black lab. Because of that, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who pull on leash, are high energy, reactive, nervous, or still learning their manners. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for birds. I've owned parakeets and currently own a cockatiel. I'm also comfortable caring for small pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs and am happy to follow detailed care instructions to keep them comfortable and safe. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for most morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I care for pets in their own homes so they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, or simply some extra attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a good amount of time on my hands. Most days are open in the morning, afternoon, and evening except Wednesday and Friday evenings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress free. I stick to your routine, handle walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure they get lots of attention. I also send updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Brooke has been amazing! She’s always on time and updates me just the right amount. We’ve been working with a trainer and she’s very receptive to our new walking routine. So lucky to have found Brooke!”
“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!”
“If you would like for your pup to have a 5star experience, Ed is who you call. He went above and beyond to take care of our puppy dog while we were out of town. Ed was on time and had great communication throughout, I would recommend and we will definitely be using him again. Thanks again Ed! Really appreciate you”
“If you are looking for an experienced, considerate, and dedicated dog walker/sitter, then you've found your match! Gregory has provided dog walks and overnight care for our 60lb hound mix multiple times over the last few months and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He is incredibly communicative, provides very detailed updates after every walk (with plenty of pictures included), and has shown the utmost dedication to understanding our dog Izzy and her specific behavioral needs. We have worked with many positive reinforcement trainers in the past to address our pups over-excitability and leash reactivity and Gregory using much of the same language as these dog trainers when discussing strategies he used on his walks with Izzy to help redirect and keep her focused and safe. Our pup is very scent driven on walks which can require a lot of patience and steady redirection, and we are so grateful for how kind and gentle Gregory is when handling Izzy. We've only had one overnight experience with Gregory so far and he took great care of our home and left the house spotless! He also ensured us that he only books one overnight stay at a time to avoid any conflicts in schedule and make sure our dog has company throughout the night and to keep her safe in the event of an emergency. All that being said, you will have no regrets choosing with work with Gregory and we feel very fortunate to have found him!”
About: I have helped care for hundreds of dogs, cats, and other animals over the last four years working in animal welfare. I have acquired many skills over the years that make me an ideal candidate to care for pets of all size, age, temperament, and medical needs. Reactive dog? No problem! Hard to medicate cat? Easy peasy! Whatever your pet's need, I can take care of it! I work 9-5, Friday-Tuesday at an animal rescue in the city. I am available any time outside of those hours for whatever you may need! Working in animal welfare has kept me up to date in the most recent and accepted practices in animal care. I work daily to help people trouble shoot issues they are having with their animals and can easily use that knowledge to meet your pet's needs.
“Daniel has been great with Ozzy! He helps clean up his messes and sends a bunch of pictures and updates during each walk. Ozzy feels comfortable with him. Will continue to book walks with him!”

They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
