“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!”
“I felt that my dog was in great hands and well cared for while I was away. Eric was very responsive and communicated regularly, which gave me peace of mind. He was also flexible and worked well with my travel schedule, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.”
“Renee was absolutely amazing watching our dog Winston for two weeks while we were in Italy. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She constantly kept us updated with photos, messages, and little check-ins, which honestly made being away from him so much easier. It genuinely felt like Winston was on his own vacation while we were gone! You could tell he was so loved, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Renee went above and beyond in every way, and we came home to a very happy dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, caring, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Renee enough. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Bryce was incredible! This was Thor’s first time away from us and I was just as anxious as he was. Bryce did a wonderful job of putting us both at ease. The photos and updates during the day was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bryce!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ferris had a great time staying with Kerry - We got periodic updates with photos and a very detailed report upon pickup. Ferris got a lot of attention and seemed really comfortable at Kerry’s place.”
“Using Rebecca has been a pleasure. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She sent lots of photos & videos. Made sure she had all the information she needed about my dog. Will use again!”
“Luna loves staying with Elizabeth. She gets lots of love, walks and belly rubs. And I have peace of mind knowing my Luna is in great hands when I’m away. We are big fans of Elizabeth!”
“Very responsive with sharing of puppy photos and videos that was thoughtful and reassuring. The best part was their cavapoo Gau who played so nicely with puppy. We passed by their place a day after finishing our puppy’s first stay with them, and our puppy really wanted to go back there to play with Gau! Will definitely use them again.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Roberto was the best! Our golden loved staying with him and his pups. We also got beautiful pictures of her living it up! Definitely will be calling again.”
“We were so glad that we booked with Rhea! She sent updates, photos or short videos each day, and she didn't hesitate to write to us with questions. She has a clean apartment, too, and she clearly enjoyed taking care of our dog! In addition, her dog is also a sweet guy. We appreciate that she doesn't take too many dogs at one time. We definitely recommend her!!”

“Yui was absolutely amazing with our cat! He can be super high energy and a little bit skiddish and she was excellent. We were gone for 10 days aand she updated us with so many cute photos! We will definitely be asking if she can take care of our cat again for future trips! Thank you so much Yui! :)”

I would absolutely recommend Yingchu to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

“Angela was a delight. This was my first time using rover and she was very helpful with the process while also being patient with my Charles as this was his first time being checked in by a “stranger”. She was super understanding that he wasn’t the most comfortable with her but seems like each day he was getting a little more comfortable which eases my mind. Followed directions, sent lots of photos and videos with feedback. I felt informed and comfortable along the way.”
“Eileen took awesome care of our two cats while we were away! They eat different prescription diets and she totally got the setup. Cats loved her immediately. We loved the pictures and the cats got some great playtime too.”

“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”
“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 can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”
“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”
“My dog was really happy and tired after spending a day with Glenda and Trufa. Will definitely be bringing my dog to Glenda for future bookings.”
“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”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different kinds of animals since I was a teenager. I worked at a zoo in England for a summer when I was a bit younger and from then, I grew a genuine passion for animals. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to provide lots of attention to your dog. I also walk routinely in the morning, evening, and anytime in between. I do not have any pets that live with me so it will just be myself and your dog. I will usually only have 1 dog at a time unless the dogs already know each other or live together.
“Devon took such great care of Beans! Beans loves her so much and he had such a good time. She took lots of pictures and he was so enriched with his visit he slept through the night and morning! Highly recommend Devon!!”
“Kanade was amazing!! Our dog is picky with people, but she connected with Kanade right away. Kanade and her husband made Ruggie feel right at home. Thank you for taking great care of our pup!”
“Travis was easy to communicate with and my dog came back just as happy as when I left him. He sent lots of pictures and even took my dog to the dog park that is less than a block away.”
“Londyn was very responsive & Jack enjoyed his stay! She communicated wonderfully with texts & pics. Was a great location for our stop in Philly to visit independence Hall & Reading Terminal Market! Would highly recommend!”
“I found Christopher when I was new to rover and didn’t bother to look any further! He has been super accommodating, takes amazing care of my puppy, and has been a pleasure to work with through rover. Highly, highly, highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Riemke and Nathan took wonderful care of our pup while we were in town for the day. We were so grateful that they were able to help us out at the last minute. Lily was in wonderful hands and seemed to have a great day with lots of walks and fun. She was comfortable immediately, and they stayed in touch with us through out the day. I would definitely recommend them for your pet-sitting needs!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

About: I have years of experience with my own pets and have walked and cared for a variety of fluffy companions. Since 2020, I’ve raised and trained two of my own puppies and can handle dogs with all kinds of training backgrounds. I am especially excited to care for pets when my dog is welcome because he loves playing with friends! I have a full time job that starts early in the morning (M-F) which leaves me with lots of time to walk, cuddle, and play with your pets in the evenings and on weekends. My dog is a friendly and gentle boy! He loves friends and adapts well to any environment, if your furry friends do too, we will be a great match 🐾 I’m great at following detailed instructions and can work my schedule around your pets’ needs.
“Maddy was so wonderful while walking my dog. We were completely unavailable during the requested time, and Maddy was able to make sure all of my dog’s needs were met! There are so many great photos of the walk, and Maddy made sure to keep my dog safe”
“Tia came through for me at the last minute—the NIGHT before my trip—without ever having met me or my dog, Amara. She stepped in and made sure Amara was well cared for and loved the entire weekend. Amara had some adjustment issues and even got sick at one point, but Tia went above and beyond. Not only did she clean up after her, but she also made sure Amara felt better and was comfortable before leaving. She truly went the extra mile, and I can’t thank her enough. I was nervous about leaving Amara for the weekend, but knowing she was in great hands gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Tia to anyone—thank you again!”
“My dog Winnie loved her walks with Siobhan! She is very reliable and always gives Winnie lots of love and attention during their walks together!”
“Natalie is so great with our pittie mix! She’s attentive, punctual, and kind. Would absolutely recommend Natalie for dog-walking/dog-sitting services :)”
About: Taken care of cats since my first at 7 years old; also cared for her many kittens in the years following. Super comfortable with kittens, senior cats, and everything in between. You name it, I've taken care of it. My first pet was a tomato frog and since then I've kept snakes, geckos, and insects. I'm happy to care for your non-furry critters, too! Also a biologist :) I just recently moved to Philly where I'm looking for work, so I'll do my absolute best to work with most any time you suggest. I try to operate on a "no trace left behind" system. I'll keep your critters safe and happy with your space left totally clean.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats/kittens for friends and family members through college and post-grad. I love to walk my friends' dogs through places like Rittenhouse Square, where both they and I can enjoy the nice scenery. Another plus -- I'm an incoming medical student with experience working with all types of patients. I would love to care for your pet with the same kind of respect, responsibility, and compassion! I'm currently working 9 AM to 5 PM, but can be flexible during the mornings, evenings, and weekends! I live near Rittenhouse Square, so I am conveniently close to many hotspot locations. As a highly meticulous person, I always aim to provide attentive, reliable, and tailored care, following all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable. I maintain a clean, safe space, ensure fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m also highly communicative, and will keep owners updated as frequently or in frequently with messages and photos for peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’m Cailey - pet sitter, dog walker, and lifelong animal lover. 🐶🐱 I’ve been caring for other’s pets since 2014 when I started pet sitting for friends and family, I’ve also worked in training & daycare, managed a pet supply boutique, fostered puppies and kittens, volunteered at shelters, and taken training/behavior classes. When your pets are with me, expect full attention, belly rubs, playtime, and lots of snuggles. My schedule is pretty flexible! • If you’ve got a whole pack (dogs and cats) at home, I’m happy to work out a custom rate that’s fair for you. • I can also help with things like bringing in packages or watering plants. I treat every pet like they’re my own. You’ll always know what to expect, and your fur family will feel completely cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Boarding & Daycare: I live in a studio apartment with my dog Poppy, so I am only able to accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs.
“Kristina is amazing! I needed her to come every day to walk Hank when I had a busy day. She was punctual, gave great updates, and overall just so reliable and made me feel so much better during a long work week. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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!”
About: I have been working around/living with dogs for my entire life. I will always be sure to give your pups extra love and attention while they are missing you while following all of your requests. Walks and playtime or whatever you want can be done at whatever intervals your request. I can also take dogs to the wonderful, award winning, local dog parks. Since they will be missing you, I will be sure to provide extra love and care to make them comfortable while they are staying with me. I live right by an animal hospital in case of emergencies as well. I also am very familiar with any dog allergies/things they cannot eat. I am careful to keep anything dangerous out of reach and off of counters.

Thank you so much Christopher!!!”
