“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.”
“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 💕”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Cindy was very flexible with scheduling and allowing Duke to have a meet and greet prior to our scheduled boarding. Cindy also shared photos and videos during the stay.”
“Rhea and her husband took such good care of our dog Olly! Rhea provided detailed daily updates and photos which was very comforting! We will definitely be rebooking in the future and we highly recommend to anyone looking for consistent, reliable, and kind dog sitters :)”
“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!”
“Joy was such a wonderful sitter and provided a warm, safe and friendly home away from home for our dog. She would send frequent updates and pictures to let us know how our dog was doing and was always quick to respond if I messaged her first. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“My Lab puppy, Juni, had a wonderful time at Jennifer's place. It's such a nice set up for dogs and Juni was thrilled to be able to run all over the yard. They provide excellent care, and we'll definitely be repeat customers!”
“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!”
“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!”
“Douglas and Henry came back very happy from their stay with Ginger. She took excellent care of them and paid attention to the little nuances each dog needed. I highly recommend her!”
“Yuiko was great with Maya and provided regular updates that gave me peace of mind that she was doing ok. Yuiko has a big backyard that Maya enjoyed and had other dogs around routinely for her to play with. I definitely hope to have Yuiko watch Maya again in the future. Thank you!”
“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: 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!
“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!”
“Christina is a very caring and flexible cat sitter. We appreciated the way she went the extra mile to make our cats feel comfortable and supported when we were away (they have some separation anxiety issues). Her communication was excellent and we felt like they were in good hands throughout. We also appreciated all the photos and status updates. We will definitely book Christina again!!”
“Jennifer did a great job caring for our kitties! She sent lots of photos, and mini updates about each cat. I was happy that she didn’t have trouble giving our cat his meds while we were gone. Overall, she was extremely responsive and thoughtful. I would definitely book her again :)”

“Georgette is a gem. My Luna who is usually very skittish in my absence, didn’t hide from her but she welcomed Georgette’s presence and attention. I came back to a happy kitty. Thank you, Georgette.”
“Maya was amazing with my cat! It was the longest I've been away from her, but Maya made me less nervous with her awesome notes about my floof. She even sent pictures of them cuddling which is an amazing feat considering my cat is skittish. Thank you so much!!”
“Jiawei took wonderful care of my cats and followed all of my instructions including giving medication. She kept me updated with photos and was reliable, kind and easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!”

“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!”
“It's hard to find someone to control my 90lb Doberman but Artesha handled him with ease, knowledgeable, responsive, and Attentive I can't put into words how great she is with my puppy.”
“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.”
“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: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a lifelong love of animals to every pet I care for. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I make it my top priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 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. Your pet’s happiness, well-being, and peace of mind are always my highest priority. Caring for pets is my full-time commitment and daily routine. I prioritize their comfort, happiness, and well-being in everything I do and is my daily focus. My home becomes your pet’s home, complete with a fenced backyard and a beautiful, large park right on my street for walks and outdoor time.
“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!”
“Georgette was easy to communicate with and she sent updates and photos throughout the stay which is very appreciative! Our pup loved her stay and you can clearly see Georgette cares and loves dogs!”
“Quynh made our first rover experience so easy! Quick to respond and accommodated our early drop off time. It was our puppy’s first time alone with someone new and she loved it! Quynh made sure Britney got enough exercise and rest and we’re soo grateful! Will definitely be booking her again!”

“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.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have a deep love for animals. My partner, Jeff and I adopted our dog Miso in early 2025, so we know from experience the “puppy blues” that can come with a new addition. We already have repeat clients and frequently dog-sit for friends, coworkers, and neighbors. We have experience caring for senior dogs, as well as post-spay care and administering medications from caring for own pup. Jeff and I both work full time on flexible hybrid schedules, so there will always be someone home during your dog’s stay. Our pup’s routine includes potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, evening, and one final outing before bed. Your dog will follow the same schedule unless they require a more specialized routine or level of care — we’re happy to accommodate their needs! Dog park visits are a regular occurrence as well. We don’t have a fenced yard, but our neighborhood is very dog-friendly with plenty of green space for your pup to explore and sniff to their heart’s content. Miso is crate-trained, and we also have additional crates available if your dog is more comfortable being crated as well.
“Sara was amazing! She was very flexible with a last minute booking and even allowed me to extend the stay when my work ran way over! Really appreciated how fast she was with responding to texts and communication in general was stellar. Also loved the detailed updates about walks and daily activities that Sara took the time to provide! Would definitely book 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.”
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!
“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 just moved into my new house and was so lucky that Christina was available to dog and house sit for me. She sent me the cutest pictures and I could tell that my dog was super happy and well taken care of. She is the best!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life, as I’ve come from an animal loving family! I’ve additionally pet sit for friends and family and am comfortable with adapting to different energies as well as administering special diets and medications. I’m a fairly active person who loves getting out of the house and moving, and my neighborhood is very walkable- full of one way streets and wide sidewalks! My boarding rate is higher than my other rates because I only ever board one pet at a time. Your pet will be getting individual, dedicated care in a safe environment! I work remotely, so am home most of the day. I am available for regular care of your pet and the flexibility of my schedule allows me to take breaks as needed! My home is pet and smoke and pet free, and the back patio has six foot high cement walls. I have a pet gate on my staircase for when I leave the house, so no fear if your furry friend likes to scrounge in clothing or laundry! Additionally, the entrance to my house has a secondary door which is always closed, so there’s no chance of accidental pet breakouts while entering or leaving the house.

About: I have four dogs of my own: two 70lb golden retrievers, one 4lb chihuahua, and one 15lb mutt. I've grown up working with animals at shelters and have even done my own rescue missions and adopted them out. My family dog lived for 15 beautiful years and had many health issues in her last few years of life. This gave me experience in administering medications and knowledge of how to care for elderly animals and respecting their schedules. I love walking dogs and taking them for hikes as well. I've never walked a cat before but I'm sure it's about the same! I'm all for caring for other pets and overnight stays (no worries about my four, the hubby will be home to care for them.)

“I am so so glad I found Victoria on Rover -- highly recommend if you need a sitter for your animal bb! <33 My dog has some health issues which affect his diet, and is a generally shy / anxious lil guy (like myself), and I can't express how grateful and secure I felt knowing Theo felt safe, cared for, and happy while I was away. Victoria has so much experience and compassion working with animals, and you can absolutely tell by her kindness, attentive care, and communication. I appreciated every message and cute picture of my pup Theo on walks, smiling, and relaxing with Victoria (and Remi, Nova, and Luey!) In addition, I appreciated the add-on booking allowing Victoria to come pick and drop Theo off. The ease of the booking and Victoria being such a lovely sitter eased so much of my mental load and stress of traveling and being away from my pup, and I can't recommend her enough. I think Theo says woof in agreement, since he came back so happy :) This was my first time booking with Victoria but I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter and would love to rebook when I will need one for Theo again :)”

I would absolutely trust her to watch him again.”
