“David was a fantastic Rover host! He has plenty of open land, which was perfect, and he even sent us pictures during the stay. We were very happy with the care provided over the three days and would definitely use him again.”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Rebecca watched my 9 year old Aussie shepherd for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive to her needs and provided lots of updates/pictures during the stay. I was anxious leaving my pup away for so long but Rebecca made my entire trip stress free by how well she cared for my dog! Will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend.”

“I was looking for a place to board my brother's dog for a few days while he was in the hospital. Thalita responded to my request quickly and was very friendly. She and her family welcomed Baby and were wonderful throughout the whole process. If you have the need for a caring person to watch your dog, I could not recommend Thalita more. You would be happy that you did.”
“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Rachel took amazing care our dog! He's a little, old dog with various issues and she made sure he was comfortable and happy. We look forward to booking with Rachel again soon.”
“We’d book again with Aimee in a heartbeat. We had an awesome experience. She watched our pup while I was recovering from surgery out of state and made everything so easy for us. Communication was effortless and prompt at every step. We arranged to have Aimee pick up our gal from a friend who had been watching her at first before having to head out of town. Pickup was seamless and made things so much easier for us and our friend. She sent us lots of updates—and a few really made us laugh. Aimee even took the time to brush her thick wooly coat after we apologized for her wild hair since her usual grooming appointment fell during the visit. When we picked up our pup, our gal was calm and happy. She also had everything packed up and ready to go when we got there, once again making it such an easy process. From the pictures she sent, it was so clear that Aimee and her husband made our dog part of their family while she was with them and that our dog had a blast.”
“Another great stay with Leo’s mom and dad Ulku and Andrew. Not only are they awesome sitters but they coordinate your dog’s stay with other well matched playmates! BEST experience!!!”
“Richard and his family were awesome! They treated Zoey with love and care! Sent pictures often and gave her lots of snuggles and love! I recommend him highly!!!”
“Dolly was wonderful with our two pups, gave frequent updates, sent photos and was willing to accommodate our last minute request as a possible extension of stay! Highly recommend!!”
“We have greatly benefited from having Diego & Amelia P. provide Boarding service on multiple occasions for our two Australian Labradoodles. They consistently deliver outstanding care for our furry children, as they are extremely thorough and compulsive in meeting all of their needs. All of the members of their family create a warm and loving environment in which our pets are always relaxed and thriving. We loved receiving daily photos of our pooches resting peacefully and cuddling with members of their family. Accordingly, we highly and unreservedly recommend Diego & Amelia P. for all your Boarding and Doggy Day Care needs.”
About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and have always been very hands on with their care. I raised my Yorkie and Dachshund from puppies and cared for them throughout their entire lives. I’ve also watched other dogs, including Corgis, Maltese, and Beagles, and I’m most comfortable with small to medium sized dogs. My two dogs recently passed away after long, happy lives, and I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own yet. I have always been an animal lover and genuinely love being around animals. I honestly can’t imagine my life without having an animal around, so caring for other people’s pets feels like a wonderful way for me to still have that companionship while giving their families peace of mind. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs because I cared for my own senior dog through lymphoma, heart disease, kidney disease, and seizures. I’m used to the extra attention, patience, and observation they may need, and I’m comfortable giving medications, injections, or medication with food when needed. Most of all, I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I know how much pets mean to their families, so when I watch someone’s pet, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home, not like they are simply being boarded somewhere. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around the house most of the time. On the days I do go into work, my office is only about a 15 minute drive away and my schedule is flexible, so I can come home when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will do my best to keep the same feeding, potty, walking, and medication schedule they’re used to at home. I want your pet’s stay to feel as normal and comfortable as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I have a fenced backyard, so dogs can have safe outdoor time without being loose or unattended. Having recently cared for a senior dog with several health issues, I’m very used to paying attention to small changes in a dog’s behavior, appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems different. If I notice something unusual, I’ll let you know rather than assuming it’s nothing. My own dogs recently passed away, so when your dog stays with me, they are the only pet in the house. I’m also very careful about keeping things out of reach. My Dachshund was always somehow able to find things he was not supposed to eat, so I became very used to keeping food, small objects, and anything potentially unsafe put away.

“Alexander is amazing! We are so thankful that he was able to watch our two cats while we were away! He always sent us updates and they never missed a meal!!

“Stephen was a great sitter for my 2 cats! One needed medicine, and she took it from. him like a champ. The other is usually afraid of sitters, but he befriended Stephen right away! I know this because Stephen sent me photos and/or videos for every visit. He was very responsive and friendly, with a great sense of humor. Thank you Stephen!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, I love them dearly and I’ll love yours just the same! I’m the biggest cat-lover in my family, so I’m in charge of food and litter boxes for my two cats. I will do a great job taking care of your kitties!

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“Our 4-month puppy LOVES going to daycare at Emelie’s! He has a great time with his playmates and comes back home happy and tired—never overexcited or stressed out. Emelie is able to take care of a lot of dogs, let them play and rest, and even give them love. She has a spacious home and a great fenced backyard where her 4-paw guests can run, play, and go to the bathroom. Highly recommended.”
“Hollie was great with my cavapoo puppy! Admittedly, I was nervous dropping him off since he is so young, but Holly assured me and was so responsive to me and proactive with pics and updates. New doggie mom here so I am learning too lol”
“Diana did a great job with my dog Tigger. Very communicative and helpful with scheduling pick up and drop off. Tigger can get anxious but Diana did a good job making sure he was comfortable and happy.”
“Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!”
About: About Me Hi, I’m Ann! I work from home and truly enjoy having a furry companion by my side throughout the day. I know how important it is for dogs to get daily walks and fresh air—so I make sure every pup in my care gets plenty of exercise and fun, rain or shine. Honestly, I think I enjoy our walks just as much as the dogs do! Why Choose Me? What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animals and the deep bond I’ve always shared with my own pets. I grew up surrounded by animals, which taught me to understand their needs and emotions on a deeper level. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, lots of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My Home I share my home with two friendly cats who prefer relaxing in their own space when we have visiting dogs. This helps keep the environment calm and comfortable for everyone. To make sure each guest gets the care and attention they deserve, I only board up to two dogs at a time. Your pup will enjoy a cozy home setting, plenty of personal attention, and lots of cuddles. I can’t wait to meet your dog and welcome them into our little family! ~Ann I am self employed and work full time at home ensuring that your pet will get the attention they deserve and need. They have easy access to the backyard as well. The backyard is fenced in. I have never allowed my dogs to sleep on my bed nor sofa but they have their own ottoman to stay close to me while I watch TV and the comfort of a dog bed and/ or crate. My home is peaceful ☺️
“I am so lucky to have found Erica on Rover. She is amazing and my doggies absolutely had a fabulous time with her ! She is pleasant and kind and after the first visit they got excited when they saw her for their second day. Going to work is so easy now that my guys have Erica caring for them. We are going to continue with her for as long as she will have them.”
“Diego and Amelia were great with our dog, Athena! Came in from out of town to attend an event and Diego and Amelia accommodated our hectic schedule. Thank you again!”
“Rachel has such a warm and caring energy that I immediately felt at ease leaving my fur baby with a sitter for the first time. I hope to use Rachel as my only sitter in the future. Beautiful and clean home and she’s very knowledgeable about dogs”

“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”

About: I've cared for animals my whole life. I grew up around, Australian Shepherds, retriever mixes, rescues, senior dogs, puppies, sick dogs and I've spent years riding and working at barns. Barn life teaches you things that carry over to dogs: you show up on time no matter the weather, you learn to read body language before a problem starts, and you stay calm with strong, anxious, or high-energy personalities. [I have experince giving medications, including deworming and any pills.] During the day I work remotely as a business analyst for a healthcare consulting firm, and I bring the same habits to pet care: clear communication, close attention to detail, and following instructions exactly. You'll get photos and a quick update after every visit, so you never have to wonder how things are going. I'm living at home right now after graduating college, and pet sitting lets me spend more of my week with dogs while earning some extra cash to help my mom out around the house. It's something I genuinely look forward to. Because I work remotely, I'm local and nearby on most days. That gives me room for morning and evening walks, midday drop-ins, and other unique times. I keep my Rover calendar current, so if a time shows as open, I'm truly available. I'm also happy to set up a recurring schedule so your dog gets the same sitter every week. Safety and trust come first. Before any booking, I am happy to do a meet and greet so you and your dog can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine firsthand. I check harnesses and leashes before every walk, never let a dog off-leash without your permission, and double-check doors, gates, and locks before I leave. I'll have your vet and emergency contact on hand. If anything seems off, even something small like a skipped meal, I'll let you know right away.

About: I grew up with dogs. When I was 18 I co-adopted two pitbulls who lived out their lives with me. After college, I volunteered for Monster Milers taking shelter dogs from Street Tails Animal Rescue out for runs to help them burn energy and become more adoptable. My wife and I have adopted three times. A fawn pug who lived until 9 years old, a black pug who lived until 17 years old, and a Alaskan Malamute/Husky/Amstaff mix (107lbs) that lived until he was 13 and we recently lost. I'm good with all furry friends big and small and adjust my approach based on the dogs energy. I currently have a ton of flexibility outside of my kids to help with your pups, but generally, I'm home a lot and very active so lots of room to get your pup out for long walks and exercise/stimulation. I do not have a fenced in yard, and always keep my dogs on leashes until they were absolutely ready to listen solely to my commands. I use a gentle leader that helps minimize impact on their throat and also is very effective with pulling, but can be flexible to your sitch.
About: Since I was young, I’ve loved animals, specifically dogs! I have always had my own dog and have watched many different dogs, large, energetic, and even puppies! I currently work from home and have my own dog, so taking care of another pet whether it be drop ins or walks, is completely doable. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from anywhere. I have a small fenced in yard and a friendly Labrador! He is super energetic so I am constantly walking him and ensuring he gets his energy out.

“Sofia is an excellent care taker for my dog. She’s wonderful, sends me updates and her communication is outstanding. I love that I get to see photos of my dog especially when I’m traveling. Keeps my heart at ease”
“Jacob is great!!! He has a great personality, he's was really good with my dog and very caring. Great communication. He sent me a really nice update after walking Lucas. Highly highly recommended. He's the BEST!!!!! I'll definitely keep working with him.”
“Craig is the best walker we could have found- prompt, reliable and a nice guy. Rover is very good and sends all related info all the time. Higgins Stands at the door waiting for his special walk!!”
“Alexandra was absolutely amazing! She was able to help us with walking our dog on very short notice while we were sick. Because of this we couldn't do a proper meeting but she made me feel at ease which is hard in itself. She was so good with my somewhat anxious & animal reactive pup. He's a tough critic but warmed up to her. He got so excited to see her every day which shows how kind she was to him. I don't trust many people with Major but she will be our first call if & when we need her services. She was great to communicate with which I really appreciate. I also enjoyed seeing his pictures on his walk & the little description of their walk. Bottom line I highly recommend Alexandra.”
“So happy we found Erica to help out twice a week taking our energetic dog for a midday walk! She’s responsive on the app, clearly loves dogs, is respectful of our home, and always leaves a picture and update after the walk. We’ve settled into a nice routine and it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work knowing Erica will be stopping in.”

About: I have had seven dogs throughout my life and currently have a friendly 7-year-old Beagle. I have also pet-sat dogs for family and friends over the years.

I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and responsibility that I would want for my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and communicate with the owner regularly so they know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

I keep my Rover calendar current, so if a time shows as open, I'm truly available. I'm also happy to set up a recurring schedule so your dog gets the same sitter every week. Safety and trust come first. Before any booking, I am happy to do a meet and greet so you and your dog can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine firsthand. I check harnesses and leashes before every walk, never let a dog off-leash without your permission, and double-check doors, gates, and locks before I leave. I'll have your vet and emergency contact on hand. If anything seems off, even something small like a skipped meal, I'll let you know right away.
About: I have experience caring for my 2 kitties and helping friends and family with their cats, dogs, and even fish! I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule right now and can be consistent with pet care. I’ll be starting nursing school in evenings this fall, so I’m working and saving. I’m available most days for walks, check-ins, and sitting, and I stick to your pet’s routine! I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable. I have two cats, so I’m used to daily care and routines. I will follow instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised and stress free.

“David was a fantastic Rover host! He has plenty of open land, which was perfect, and he even sent us pictures during the stay. We were very happy with the care provided over the three days and would definitely use him again.”
“Rebecca watched my 9 year old Aussie shepherd for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive to her needs and provided lots of updates/pictures during the stay. I was anxious leaving my pup away for so long but Rebecca made my entire trip stress free by how well she cared for my dog! Will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Brian was awesome. We have an older dog and this is the first time we had an overnight away from home stay. Brian updated us regularly and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely use Brian in the future!”
“Bill was a fabulous caregiver for our dog! I am so happy to have found him! He sent us pictures and updates every day!! And was a super nice person and very organized!!!! Can’t wait til next trip for our pup to go back!”
“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“I was looking for a place to board my brother's dog for a few days while he was in the hospital. Thalita responded to my request quickly and was very friendly. She and her family welcomed Baby and were wonderful throughout the whole process. If you have the need for a caring person to watch your dog, I could not recommend Thalita more. You would be happy that you did.”
“Ryan B was a great sitter! He took good care of my dog and sent adorable messages and photos throughout my vacation. I would definitely recommend as a sitter as the children were great with my dog also giving him lots of pets and even grooming him one day. Definitely a sitter to choose!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Another great stay with Leo’s mom and dad Ulku and Andrew. Not only are they awesome sitters but they coordinate your dog’s stay with other well matched playmates! BEST experience!!!”
“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!”
“Dolly was wonderful with our two pups, gave frequent updates, sent photos and was willing to accommodate our last minute request as a possible extension of stay! Highly recommend!!”
“Enes and Stephanie took great care of my little one during his first in home boarding experience. They made sure that my little one was comfortable and safe. Great communication while I was away sent an abundance of updated photos and treated my little one like he was a part of their family. I will definitely”
“Nicole is awesome! She really loves dogs and my Josie was very comfortable at her home. She sent pictures and Josie had absolutely no issues. I would highly recommend Nicole!”
“Emelie is a great dog sitter! This was our first time having our 2 year old dog stay with Emelie. She provided a meet and greet well ahead of his stay, and was very communicative and responsive ahead of and during the long weekend. We had to make a last minute change in our schedule, and she readily accommodated. Her set-up is ideal, with plenty of outdoor and indoor space, and a few other dogs to play with. Finally, Emelie gets dog social dynamics and is very effective at managing the set up all around.”
“Allison and the girls took such great care of Cookie! As first time Rover users, Allison was patient with my husband and provided regular check-ins, updates and pictures! It was clear Cookie had a nice time and was much less stressed than when we typically board her. We look forward to booking again with Allison and Kevin in the future!”
“I can’t begin to say enough great things about Donte. He handled my pups with great care and made them feel at home for the entire trip. I highly recommend and will book again”
“We had a wonderful experience with Joseph! He provided daily updates about feeding, walking, and giving medication. Cute photos were also sent, which we greatly appreciated. Drop off and pick up were very smooth. Our pooch came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would definitely book again with Joseph!”
