“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.”
“Brineydi was excellent- she was very responsive during the planning of our dogs stay with her and was flexible about pick up and drop off times. She sent photos of our dog as well as updates so ensure we knew how our dog was doing. We will definitely book with her again!”
“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”
“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!”
“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. :)”
“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!”
“Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.”
“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 💕”
“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.”
“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. :)”
“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!”
“Samantha was great! Very knowledgeable about dogs. She sent me a picture of her daughter reading Milo a book. Adorable! She kept me updated about Milo and informed me of a health condition with Milo. Very much appreciated!”
“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.”

About: I’ve been raised alongside cats for as long as I’ve been alive. I’m a shelter volunteer, fear free certified, and coached in feline care! I’ve cat sat on occasion and I’m now on a mission to befriend every kitty. A few years ago, my family drove hours away to pickup a kitten that I saw on Craigslist. That kitten is now my 4 year old, timid, Francis. There is no cat too catty for me!
“Sabina is always so pleasant to work with. She truly cares about the wellbeing of our cat and asks thoughtful questions to ensure she’s doing everything right. We know we will always come home to a happy and healthy kitty.”
“Maya was good at caring for my three indoor cats and the two outdoor stray cats I feed. She handled the routine well, making sure everyone was well-fed and had fresh water exactly as requested. She was dependable enough to manage both my indoor crew and the outdoor strays while I am away. I received great updates and photos, and came home to well fed cats. I highly recommend Maya.”
“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!”

“Natalie did a great job watching my dog Greta while I was at work. Greta was a very happy pup after spending a fun filled day with Natalie and her dog Luna.”
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”
“That backyard! My baby works for door dash and Uber when he rides with me sometimes and he needs to stretch and play. So seeing Artesha 's backyard full of toys, a lil pool, and a big enough space for him to play was a bonus. But nothing matters more to me than for him to get to socialize with other fur babies. Artesha has a ZOO lol jp! I fell in love with all of her fur babies putting me at ease while I worked. They are very friendly and very sweet. Artesha accommodated all of my requests and last minute request. Provides communication and pictures. Thank you for opening up your home to Quwwa and I.”
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”

I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own—providing attentive, reliable care, plenty of affection, and respect for their individual routines.

“Absolutely recommend. Zyiana & Jayda are so loving and gave my little pup a ton of attention. They shared pictures and updates throughout Ruby's stay and kept me super relaxed leaving her for the first time. Thank you both for giving Ruby Moon so much love and attention!”
“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!”

“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 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!”
“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.”

“Iliana is an awesome, caring dog sitter. Our first time with her. She sent photos and texted and Barney enjoyed his time with her and her other puppies. We highly recommend her and with use her again.”
“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.”

“Timothy did a great job walking Puddin’! Puddin mentioned that Timothy communicated very well, was always on time, and he felt comfortable and confident on his walks.”
“Chelsea has really rescued Libra and me. I had emergency spine surgery. At the same time, my dog walker went on a trip that she had planned for 6 months. I was in desperate need of dog walking for my very active GSD/Belgian Malinois. At the last minute, over the holidays, Chelsea agreed to walk Libra for 60 min. Libra loves her. She usually barks crazily when people walk in the hall. Very quickly, Libra learned when Chelsea was expected and waited for her near the door excitedly but quietly. Best of all, Libra takes a nice long nap when she comes home. Thank you Chelsea!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Sabina was amazing with my Rosy while I went home for the holidays. She was very professional and communicative, and she went above and beyond in making sure Rosy's needs were met. Even when unexpected issues arose, she handled them promptly, kept me posted on every step, and gave me options on how to handle the situation. I never once doubted that Rosy was in great hands.”
“Lenny had such an amazing walk, and Shqiponja was very thoughtful and communicative. I really appreciate her being in the area and recommend for all rover related needs!”
“My Luna girl LOVED Makaylah and was comfortable with her from the get go- which doesn’t always happen as Luna has… big feels lol. Makaylah handled her well, gave her good exercise, and communicated well with me regarding walks (and her move 😔)Sad to see her move away, she is great!”
“Karyssa filled in last min to walk our pup. She was AMAZING with communication. She was super kind and patient with our shy pup. Provided all the relevant details about the walk that made me feel really comfortable having her with our pup. Thanks so much Karyssa!”
“Being that he's only a year and a half old, Leon is quite energetic and very much still in his puppy phase. I find it somewhat difficult to find a walker patient enough for his behavior, but Joy has been walking Leon for a few weeks now. I will continue to rebook her as long as I possibly can. She is very accommodating with my requests and also thorough in updating me on her walks with Leon, which really puts me at ease while I'm away at work.”
“Jiawei is a super hero! She saved my day after I booked with another walker and they cancel last minute. She was quick to respond to my last minute booking and showed up immediately so I can introduce her to my boy “Gunner” and break down all the details and instructions for his walk and care. I highly recommend her and will surely be using her myself in the very near future.”
