“Diego & Amelia were amazing with our dog! He stayed with them for 10 days the first time, and when we brought him back again, he got excited before we even made it to the front door — tail wagging, pulling toward the house, clearly so happy to see them again. Honestly, that told us everything we needed to know. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was loved and comfortable in their care. Highly recommend!”
“Maranda was so great with Bentley. She was caring, flexible, responsive and laid back. Bentley loved being in her home and loved playing with her sweet dog. Great stay!!! So glad to have found Maranda.”
“Upon arrival our dog is always happy to see David. We have boarded with him a couple times a year for several years. David loves the animals and we are confident that our dog is age and we'll cared for every time.”
“Chonlada was awesome. She communicated every day by texting and sending pictures/videos of our dog. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for your pet.”
“I was very pleased with my dog's stay with Gina. She was very quick to respond and easy to work with. She has a great set up in her home and yard. I'm sure my dog felt right at home with her and her kids. And she was exhausted from all the fun play with other dogs!”
“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“Ariel is awesome, and our dog is so happy staying with her! We have a Boston Terrier who needs to be around people, he does not do well in a kennel for overnights. Ariel’s home is safe and comfortable for him. He had the best time playing with her dogs and her kids. It’s clear he is very loved and in her care.”
“Alexa is great at what she does! My pup Nathan had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of. Alexa provided plenty of updates (including photos) and was fantastic about keeping track of and administering his allergy medication. 10/10 would recommend”
“Tina is absolutely incredible! We left our dog with her over the Memorial Day weekend and on another overnight for my cousin's wedding. She provided timely updates and our dog was clearly so happy at her place! She got plenty of exercise and snuggles. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!”
“Have booked twice with Aimee now, she takes wonderful care of my dog. My dog is excited to go see her, and Aimee provides great updates. I’d refer Aimee to anyone looking for great pet care.”
“Tim was very responsive prior and during Chase’s stay, sent pictures throughout and had him ready to go when I arrived back. Chase clearly had an enjoyable stay and I would recommend him for any future stays!”
“I had met Shona a few times before my dog stayed with her so I already knew she was a cool and sweet lady. She exceeded my expectations in her care, communication, and patience (my dog is a bit anxious). She updated me with pictures and worked with me to problem solve when he had a few minor issues. I’m so happy we chose to board Cash with Shona and would recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Debra and Michael are wonderful sitters for our “Meatball”! They understand her and treat her like the princess she is! We know Meatball is in great hands when we are away!”

“Ally was a great caretaker for our two furballs. Thank you for the great communication, excellent reports and all the lovely photos. We were so grateful that they were in such good care.”
“Miranda provided my cats with meticulous care and followed my directions 💯 percent. I came home to two relaxed and happy cats. For this I am so thankful and grateful. I recommend Miranda wholeheartedly.”
“Allison is amazing! First time using her and we definitely will be again. She provides the BEST visit summaries and gives us so much peace of mind. I knew my babies were getting the best care!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since childhood, growing up with three cats and currently having my own tabby girl! I’m familiar with daily routines like feeding, administering medications, litter box care, grooming, and playtime, as well as understanding different cat personalities. Whether a cat is shy, independent, or very affectionate, I’m patient and understanding of their space while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! 🐈⬛ ♥️
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
“Rachael sent me messages and pictures which provided updates on how things were at home. Seems to be very experienced and knowledgeable about cat sitting and care. Overall all a good sitter.”
“Sequoia was fantastic and took the time to play with each of our two cats along with making sure they were fed and had water while we were away. Even managed to get our moodier cat to run around and play. Gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
“Loved Kayleigh! She was great with our cats, and we will definitely book with her again if we go on another trip. She took the time to get to know them and pick up the key before we left, and she stayed longer on her first day to help them feel more comfortable with her. They got more and more friendly each day! She is very nice and professional, and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip. She always came to our house at the scheduled time frame, and played around with our two cats together. She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!”
“I am so happy that I chose Grace to take care of Puck. He is 14, blind and quite shy, used to being with just me. I could tell from the pictures that Grace made friends quickly with him and provided lots of cuddles and “pets”. I will definitely book her again as she is a 10 out of 10!! Thanks Grace.”
“Molly did a great job watching our cats, making sure that they were fed and happy. Lots of update photos, and easy scheduling. I would recommend her to anyone needing a hand with their pets!”
“Jacob was extremely detailed and asked questions I hadn’t thought of in order to make sure my girl had the most positive experience! I am extremely pleased with Jacob’s work.”
“Lauren was amazing with my cat Hugo and enjoyed daily care and cuddles with her. Having Lauren Check-in was a comforting and she sent photos to us daily. Thanks again for your help and time with Hugo.”
About: My family rescued our cat Suma from the SPCA, and caring for her has given me hands-on experience with daily cat care and understanding feline behavior. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I provide calm, reliable visits with feeding, litter box cleaning, attention, and playtime based on each cat’s personality and needs.
“Meghan was really flexible and took our booking last minute. She was able to administer our cats medication without difficulty and was very communicative. You can definitely rely on her to take care of your pets. When the snow came, she still made it out to care for them. She is great!”

“Amanda took great care of our mini poodle Lily. She sent lovely photos and videos of Lily enjoying her backyard. She was accommodating when we needed to drop off earlier than expected. Would recommend for your pets needs!”
“Diego and Amelia did a wonderful job with our Scotty. They treated him like their own dog. And their own dogs were very friendly and played with Scotty, made him feel at home. Your dog will be in great hands with them!”
“You can tell that Maranda is very attentive and cares about the pooches, and Benny loves her! She has a big backyard with lots of playthings that dogs can run around in, especially with all the snow! Other customers appear to like her too since there have another dog or three that she’s watching whenever I drop Benny off. I like that Benny can play with other dogs (and her daughters!) without the chaos of a commercial daycare center. Maranda also sends pictures throughout the day which put my concerned parent heart at ease. I booked daycare with Maranda twice last week and dropped off Benny again today. Five star complements and no complaints. Chalk me up as a returning client.”
“Kristin is amazing! She responds quickly, sends the cutest picture updates, and our pups were very well taken care of (and had lots of fun). It was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad to have chosen Kristin - her professionalism and clear love for animals put me at ease quickly, and I would highly recommend!”
“Alexa was amazing. Super responsive, sent a ton of pictures and kept me updated. Roo had a cone on during his stay and when the one I had broke, Alexa made she he got a new one same day. Would highly recommend”
“Hollie is an loving sitter. Mylo and Lokie run to front door as soon as I open the car door. No matter how long the stay, a few hours or a week she is my preferred sitter!”
“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!”
“My very high-energy puppy had an absolute blast playing with dog friends and splashing in the water all day! Very grateful that she was enjoying her day while I was at work!”
“Alessandra within the 1st hour made me feel like my dog was in amazing hands. He has some pretty serious separation anxiety and Alessandra listened to all my concerns and had him settled in and having fun in no time. She sent tons of pictures of him having a great time. The next day when I came to drop him off again he was so excited and didn’t protest at all. I am so grateful.”
“Ena and Daniel watched my pup on very short notice today- which I appreciated immensely! My little girl is very skittish and I was worried that she wouldn’t interact but it was just the opposite- within 15 minutes of me dropping her off they posted pictures of her on their laps, drinking water and hanging out with their dog it made my stressful day so much better! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Shona and her family were amazing! Our dogs have never been to daycare and never boarded, but they loved it. Shona sent pictures and kept us updated. One of our dogs is afraid of everything, but she was happy and comfortable enough to nap on their sofa. And Shona was not even upset that we arrived early and woke her up, lol! We will definitely be repeat customers when the need arises. We would recommend Shona to anyone.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my puppy. She and her husband took the time to get to know us through a thoughtful meet‑and‑greet. Jessica then followed up with clear communication, made sure I felt completely comfortable before the booking, and ensured all details of the day were clear. Throughout the day, she sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My puppy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly caring sitter.”
“Emelie and family were a godsend as we were looking for a last-minute sitter for our beloved pup Duke. We were traveling from VA to PA for a track meet and we weren’t quite sure what to do with our 6.5 month old puppy Duke as non-service animals were not allowed in the stadium. After reaching out to a few sitters on Rover, Emilie quickly responded with her availability and was very accommodating! Duke seemed to enjoy himself, and that made us feel good. If for whatever reason we happen to be traveling back to PA, we will definitely consider booking with Emilie as our pet sitter. Not only was she SUPER friendly and loving to our Duke, but she was VERY responsive!”
“Sruthie and Abha have been amazing! My dog has been so happy with them and has been given so much attention and love! I highly recommend them as they are wonderful people with big hearts. They sent me pictures and messages all day long! I’m so happy I found them!”
“Thank you Emily and Christine for taking care of our little Leo yesterday! I can tell he had a great day, playing with his new friends , he was one little tired boy last night! We will be back for sure 🐶🥰”
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me
“Manu was AMAZING with Gracie. She was in contact many times during the day with pictures and assured me that Gracie was doing great! I feel blessed to have met someone like Manu - I will always entrust her with Gracie’s care. Thank you Manu!❤️🐶”
