“Ariella was such a wonderful sitter! She was so patient and understanding of my very anxious dog. With a nervous dog, it can be stressful leaving her with someone new for the first time since you never know how it’s gonna go, but Ariella provided regular updates, which was much appreciated and put me so much more at ease. I would absolutely book another visit for my dog with Ariella next time the opportunity arises!”


“I needed a sitter on very short notice, and Zyi (sorry if I spelled your name wrong 😓) was incredibly accommodating! She was quick to respond to messages, kept me updated throughout the stay, and made me feel completely at ease. My dog is also on medication, and Zyi was very attentive, making sure to double-check all of the instructions with me. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and comfort.

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.”


“I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend.

I would definitely recommend them for your pet-sitting needs!”

“Elizabeth is so wonderful with our dog Beau. She was very mindful of the city heat this week during walkies and kept our dog safe, cool and hydrated. She is the best!”


About: I've always loved being around animals, and taking care of pets has never felt like work to me. For the past several years, I've regularly walked and cared for two dogs, and I have two cats of my own, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm very active, so I'm always happy to go on long walks, play outside, or keep up with energetic dogs. I also understand that some pets just want a quiet companion, and I'm just as happy spending time with senior pets or those who prefer to relax. Outside of pet care, I've spent several years babysitting and teaching swim lessons, so being responsible, patient, and dependable comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll always make sure they get plenty of love and attention, stick to their routine, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently only teaching swim lessons on weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work around your pet's routine. If you need last-minute care or have a changing schedule, I'll do my best to accommodate you! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I'll make sure to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I'm respectful of your home and will always leave it just as I found it. I'll also send plenty of updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. If any supplies are needed during my visit, I just ask that they're provided ahead of time so I can give your pet the best care possible.
“Gregory accepted a last minute booking to walk our dog and ended up walking her twice, feeding her dinner and giving her medicine. She was a happy dog when we came home and his pictures and communication were great. Can’t wait to have him walk our dog more regularly!”

“Katrina is the absolute best!! She was so patient and kind with my nervous dog and went above and beyond. Felt so relieved to have her watching him. Definitely recommend!”

“Pamela was patient and accommodating when the logistics of our trip made her job more difficult than expected. She is easy to communicate with, very responsive, friendly, and easy going. She came to our resort and walked our dog so we could enjoy longer days in the parks. Thanks Pamela!”

“i've had such a good experience with alex so far, cannot recommend them enough! they've been taking my senior dog on regular walks as i recover from surgery, and my dog has really enjoyed them. alex is always aware of their surroundings and any concerning trash like chicken bones. they leave really detailed notes about the walk and have also helped with things like giving my dog a treat once they're back, refilling poop bags on her leash, etc. big big fans :)”

“Aleksandra was awesome to work with, and we will absolutely book with her again! She took great care of our fur babies while we were away and was very communicative with us about how everything was going and anything she thought we needed to know. The pets loved her and everything was well looked after when we got home. Highly recommend!”


About: I grew up having an energetic beagle so I’m used to matching a dog’s high energy level. I now usually dog/housesit for family friends and volunteer to walk the dogs from Doggiestyles pet store. Just graduated from Drexel University so I have a lot of time throughout the summer, especially during day hours. Very flexible to match client’s schedule I usually follow the requests of the client and will check in the dogs every now and then to make sure they’re okay. I would check to make sure they’re not doing anything they’re not supposed to, but also keep them entertained if they seem bored
“Sydney was an absolute trooper getting the harness on my dog. Penny was very skittish about someone else putting it on her, but they were super patient and had a successful walk! They also paid great attention to the house alarm system/lock and had no issues with following directions. Would highly recommend for their calm, patient, and caring attitude!”


About: I grew up with two dogs of my own (a Springer and a mix breed), and I genuinely love meeting and petting dogs when I’m out and about! I know that many dogs have specific routines or quirks, and I am dedicated to following you and your dogs routine exactly. I recently moved to South Philly from Vermont, and I’m excited to meet your pet sitting needs. In addition to my experience with dogs, I also have many years of childcare experience! I am currently looking for a full time job, but I’m the mean time, I am very flexible to meet your pet sitting needs! I will lead with love and trust with your dog. I have experience with dogs who have been abused in the past, and I will always follow your exact instructions that you leave.

“We have used Kristen on multiple occasions, and I will continue to use her as our dog walker over and over again. She is kind, trustworthy, and communicative. Marlee and Zoey enjoy their walks with Kristen, and I love that she keeps me updated on everything about her time with them.”

“Lee has been absolutely amazing. He developed a strong bond with my dog and it's just heartbreaking to have to say goodbye to Lee. Lee is truly an amazing dog walker that goes over and beyond what you can expect. We will miss his dearly.”

“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!”
“Nicholas is great. He has been great with both my dogs. One of my dogs is reactive and just got back from a month long board and train and has been great helping me keep her on her training. They are always in great moods when I come home.”

About: I grew up with a dog and two cats and have experience taking care of both my family’s and friends’ pets. I also volunteered at an animal rescue center my first year of college where I frequently helped walk, feed, and generally care for the animals there as well. I’m not currently in classes and work part-time remotely. I am available most weekday mornings and all day on weekends. Mondays I am available all day. For drop ins and house sitting, I wake up early to walk, feed, and do whatever is needed for your animal. For walking, I can create a route to walk your dog around the neighborhood or where your pet likes to walk!

“Brooke was the best sitter!! She was fantastic with my Pitbull dog Jerry, and very accommodating to his needs, and very receptive to my litany of notes / instructions on what to expect with him, how to manage him, and overall what sort of attention/ care to provide him. She was very patient, she actually took notes, and I can tell that Jerry felt comfortable & secure in her care. Would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a top tier dog sitter! She also has her own dog, Snow, who is very sweet and great with other dogs. She gave Jerry lots of good company”

“Chazz was so great! He instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my dog Zelda overnight for the first time and when I picked her up, she was calm and happy. I’d book again for sure.”

“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 :)”

“Donte was great with my pup! I was a little nervous to take him to a new sitter for the first time, but the second I met Donte and saw him interacting with my dog all those nerves went away. He, miraculously even got my dog who has a fear of crates to sleep in one! I was blown away. Would definitely recommend.”

“Allison was amazing! Friendly, responsive, provided regular updates, and Lua came back to us relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared-for. We couldn't have asked for better, and would definitely hire Allison again.”

“I have never had better place to leave my sweet Apollo, he had an excellent time! Kelsey & Conor were sending updates and images constantly. I would highly recommend them!”

“Deena was absolutely amazing with hazy. She was extremely communicative with the going on and with updating photos. Felt like I was there with them! Sounded like they had a wonderful Christmas. Would book with her again”

“This was my first time leaving my Reyna for almost two full weeks and Jacob was again the best person to take care of her while I was away. She was socialized and exercised, and seemed very happy with her stay!”


“I planned a weekend trip last minute and needed a dog sitter and as usual, Angie was available and reliable for my French Bulldog, Goldie. I have used Angie many times for my dog at this point, she is the only one i really trust to watch her.”
