Personalized care for your dog or cat - Philadelphia
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Philadelphia
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“Victoria and Charles were kind and welcoming as always and Buttercup always leaves their place so happy. They are lovely and treat my baby like their own. I can't thank them enough ❤️”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
“This was the first time Billie Jo watched our dog. It was just over one night, but Billie Jo was very kind and accommodating. She was great with our large dog, adjusting her care to match his needs and routines. I appreciated her flexibility and caring demeanor very much, as well as the regular photos and updates she sent. I would recommend Billie Jo and will use her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Maggie loves going to Joan's house whenever we are on holiday. Joan takes such wonderful care of her and keeps us updated with pictures. We never have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone and we will certainly be having her watch Maggie in the future.”
“Gloria was fanatastic!!! She took excellent care of our more sensitive dog, asking all the right questions upfront and giving several updates with photos throughout the day. She’s truly a professional. We are so thankful we found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cash had a great time and didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up! Gabrielle gave plenty of updates during his stay and her dogs kept him very busy with constant play.”
About: I was an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. Now I am a veterinary assistant in school to be a veterinary technician. I have kennel experience and I foster dogs from rescues and shelters. I begin my new job July 6th so I am open to board/house sit/train. I will be working 8am-5pm at the local animal shelter as the veterinary assistant. So I can also train dogs after work. I was the dog trainer at Petsmart I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
“Thank you again Heather for taking such good care of Gizmo! He is so excited to get to stay at your house and enjoys playing with all of his furry friends there. 😁”
“Katie was great! My dog has real separation anxiety but Katie made her comfortable. I got regular updates with pics throughout the weekend stay and felt confident my dog was getting the best care. Katie has a great yard, was friendly and professional in all communications, and shows real care for the dogs in her charge. I booked from out of town but I would definitely use Katie again if I'm in the area. Highly recommend!!!”
“My dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay with Jenny. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts of how they were doing. Very satisfied with the care they received.”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for puppies all the way to senior pets. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a foster for a local animal rescue. Through fostering, I have gained experience working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds including shy, anxious and special-needs pets. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated like a member of my own family, receiving of plenty of love, attention, playtime and affection. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule so I am available to provide the consistent care that your animals need throughout the day. I have dogs of my own that are very friendly and love to play with the other animals that we care for when pet sitting. I also have a fenced in back yard as well as a front area that is fenced in so your animals have room to run and play while being safe and secure.
“Mary and her husband Bob were so very wonderful for my little guy! My dog is an anxious little guy but was sleeping on Bob’s lap when I got there to pick him up. Seeing Graham “comfortable” enough to take a nap, made my Mama heart so happy. Mary sent numerous pictures and updates throughout the stay. Such a wonderful feeling to know your pup is well loved and taken care of of if you have to leave them.”
“Lanelle was so awesome with our sweet Niko!!! She sent great pics to us and kept me on board with his stay.. she even went above and beyond and setting him up in my home for our parents thank you so much Lanelle!! Niko was very happy and we felt very relaxed and had fun in our vacation knowing he was ok.. we will definitely use your services again! Your family is super sweet and loves dogs!”
“Sully had another great stay with Jessica, her kids, and his new best buddy Tucker! We have definitely found our ‘go to’ care provider for our Little Man when we need to be away. Thank you Jessica and Fam”
“Nicole is AWESOME! She is so accommodating, doing whatever she can to meet your dog's needs/schedule. She truly is an answer to prayer. We have a 14-month old Pyrenees mix, who can be difficult to handle, and this was the first time we have boarded her. After meeting Nicole and her husband, I knew we had found the perfect boarder. She sent pics and videos, assuring me that Bella was doing great. Boarding with Nicole allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Bella was being well cared for. We have def found our forever boarder, thanks SO much!”

“Kat is amazing! She took such great care of our cat Bob. Bob normally doesn’t warm up to people quickly, he’ll usually hide under the bed and not come out. Kat worked her magic and Bob was putty in her hands, purring and letting her give him belly rubs. I’d recommend her for you four legged kids care.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my cats. Lauren was very friendly & professional throughout the entire process. She messaged me a detailed update with pictures of her visit with my cats. I would definitely recommend Lauren & will definitely book her again in the near future.”

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
About: I have had decades of experience walking and caring for dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, turtles, parrots, poultry and more. I have taken care of big dogs and little dogs, cats and kittens. I am familiar with giving medications to animals, as well. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am a licensed paramedic and educator just earning extra income. I keep parrots and poultry currently with cats and dogs. I have had had herps and reptiles in the past, as well. I will treat your pets like they were my own. I know the anxiety of having to leave pets to get out of town and will do everything I can to make sure you don't regret it.
“Wendy is such a gem! She was reliable, thoughtful, and very responsive. The kitty she cared for earns his name "Spooky" because he is easily spooked. Within a few days, however, he was showing up for attention and petting. We got pictures every day and are so pleased that we could be away without worries.”
“Stephanie and Jay were fantastic with my kitties! This was my first time using Rover and they were very patient and reassuring. One of my boys is very shy and doesn’t even come out for some of my family, but they were able to coax him out for some Churu and love!”
About: I have had animals since I was born, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and loved every single one! I have experience watching neighbors and friends' pets since middle school and I am a college student now. I did a clinical internship at a vet and I am well versed in animal care. Whether that means walking, bathing, medicine administration, grooming, or just cuddles, I'm your girl! :) I have a part time serving job this summer and will be back to being a full time student in the fall. My part time job is very flexible and allows me ample time to check up/watch your pet. I will update my schedule every 2 weeks. I have cared for lots of animals and am able to crate your animal or put them away safely as needed. I also have lots of animal equipment (leashes, crates) on hand if there is any need to transport your pet.
“Kaley was amazing with my dogs! Paisley is normally a very scared/anxious little dog and Kaley put her right at ease. I received many pictures and the dogs looked very happy and content in them. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“My experience proved that Cheyenne is a responsible woman that took care of my 3 cats. One would not eat much, and she therefore made an extra trip to attempt to feed her. She also texted me about the issue and suggested she could try to feed her again. Cheyenne is very considerate and I would not hesitate to hire her services in the future.”
“Everything was great, we couldn't be happier with her service. I don't know what we would do without her help, and she was so easy to work with, it was nice to know we had nothing to worry about while we were away from home. Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!”
“When we returned from our recent getaway, both of our kitty cats were calm and relaxed. That tells me just how good Jay took care of them!! Jay is great and his love for animals clearly shows. I fully trust him and know that all will be well while we are away. Thank you Jay!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Philadelphia
About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds and can help with farm animals as well. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely
“Savannah was amazing, seriously. She made time for my pup on Mother’s Day so we could have a get away for a couple hours! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies, I would definitely book with her. Probably the plus 1 of the stay was the fenced in yard, so they are able to just run and potty freely without having to be leaded.”
“First time we’ve used Rover and it turned out great!! We got pictures of our pups while we were gone for the day and I think they had a great time! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another. on 07/27/2026 my Daughter, son-in-law and 3 year old grandson will be living with me. If on your profile it doesn't show friendly with kids, I will reach out and see if having a 3 year old in the house will be in issue. I love animals and look forward to watching your fur babies.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.
About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love.

“Mocha had a great time with Nicky and their pet Nugget. She would send regular updates and pictures through out the day and well cared .The big fenced backyard and Nugget is a big plus. I would definitely recommend Nicky anytime. Nicky is the best I can ask for Mocha”
“Braleigh took wonderful care of Friedrich. Her children, dogs, and husband all contributed to making his day special. I was delayed picking him up due to traffic and she was very understanding. Bralieigh sent numerous text updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond! I would not hesitate to have her care for Friedrich again. Dale B”
“Lyndsey and her kids were wonderfully sweet to my dog while I visited a tourist attraction. She was very prompt in all of our communications and understanding when I mistook a time zone difference! Lyndsey has a lot of experience and I highly recommend her for your pets needs!”
“Maddie was fantastic with our dog as we were passing through town on our honeymoon! Communicated well the entire time and was amazing with our shy dog. Thank you maddie for everything!”
“My dog ran back and gave Kallie two good-byes before coming to me to go home, which was a great sign to me that he really loved her and trusted her. She is very good with my golden retriever and has a nice home and fenced yard for him. I am so happy I found her.”

About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets!

Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.

I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾
About: I look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me. Pet sitting helps me support my daughter’s therapies and additional needs, which makes this work especially meaningful to me. It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶 I’m able to come walk your pets or check in on them before work then play with them after work (5:30p-9p) throughout the week. And Saturday and Sundays I’m fully available/flexible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines that help your pet feel secure and at home. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family 🐾
About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Tierra, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by everything from tiny chihuahuas and yorkie-poos to loyal German shepherds—and not just dogs! My childhood was filled with the love and responsibility of caring for cats, pigs, goats, chickens, pigeons, dwarf hamsters, and even saltwater fish. Safe to say, animals aren’t just a part of my life—they are my life. Currently, I live with my fiancé on a beautiful 27-acre property. While our rental allows pets, we’ve decided to wait until we buy our first home to adopt our first dog together. It’s a decision based on giving a future pet the absolute best life possible—but I miss being around animals more than words can say. That’s why I’d love nothing more than to pour all that love and attention into your pets in the meantime. I’m trustworthy, loving, honest, and reliable—and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a calm companion, or a patient caregiver, I’m here to give them all the affection and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to feel peace of mind when you’re away, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are not only safe, but happy and loved while you’re gone. Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet your furry family! 🧡 I took some time away from Rover during a busy season of life, but now I’m back and thrilled to be spending my time doing what I love—caring for animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I truly love it and make it a priority. I’m currently in nursing school, but I manage my time well and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to the pets I watch. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I plan my day around giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. Caring for animals brings me so much peace and joy—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. My fiancé also loves animals and is always happy to help love on and care for any pets staying with us, especially while I’m in class. Between the two of us, your pet will be surrounded by plenty of attention, affection, and dependable care. Every pet is unique, so I do my best to follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and happy—whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I make sure your pet feels safe and stress-free by keeping things consistent. I’ll follow feeding schedules, take them on their usual walks or play sessions, give medication if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and treat your home as I would my own. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will enjoy a quiet, spacious environment with lots of room to explore (we’re on 27 acres!). While we haven’t adopted a pet of our own yet, our home is cozy, calm, and full of love to give. Whether they’re snuggling on the couch or getting fresh air outside, I’ll make sure your pet feels like part of the family. No matter the service, my goal is to create a safe, loving experience that gives you total peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for a long time, would love to spend time and also take care of yours and make sure they’re safe! Hi there! I definitely have tons of time throughout the day to love your baby! I spend time with them before & through out on breaks from work and when I get off! I do have a huge fenced in yard! My 2 year old LOVES playing with your doggies! We have no pets in our home now.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.
“Stephanie did a great job with our poodle pup. Would hire again. We went the daycare route for a while but we are likely to be back to this and she'll be on our short list.”
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
“This was the first time Billie Jo watched our dog. It was just over one night, but Billie Jo was very kind and accommodating. She was great with our large dog, adjusting her care to match his needs and routines. I appreciated her flexibility and caring demeanor very much, as well as the regular photos and updates she sent. I would recommend Billie Jo and will use her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Gloria was fanatastic!!! She took excellent care of our more sensitive dog, asking all the right questions upfront and giving several updates with photos throughout the day. She’s truly a professional. We are so thankful we found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cash had a great time and didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up! Gabrielle gave plenty of updates during his stay and her dogs kept him very busy with constant play.”
About: I was an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. Now I am a veterinary assistant in school to be a veterinary technician. I have kennel experience and I foster dogs from rescues and shelters. I begin my new job July 6th so I am open to board/house sit/train. I will be working 8am-5pm at the local animal shelter as the veterinary assistant. So I can also train dogs after work. I was the dog trainer at Petsmart I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
“Thank you again Heather for taking such good care of Gizmo! He is so excited to get to stay at your house and enjoys playing with all of his furry friends there. 😁”

“Nicole is AWESOME! She is so accommodating, doing whatever she can to meet your dog's needs/schedule. She truly is an answer to prayer. We have a 14-month old Pyrenees mix, who can be difficult to handle, and this was the first time we have boarded her. After meeting Nicole and her husband, I knew we had found the perfect boarder. She sent pics and videos, assuring me that Bella was doing great. Boarding with Nicole allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Bella was being well cared for. We have def found our forever boarder, thanks SO much!”
“Michael and Lisa took great care of our dog Bonnie! They were very friendly and quick with communication. I know Bonnie will be excited to see them again next time!”
“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Lyndsey was great with our Abbie who has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. She sent us videos and photos throughout the day. Abbie actually acted like she didn’t want to leave when I picked her up, lol, so I knew she loved staying with Lyndsey!”
“Viviana not only is a great caregiver for your dog but has an amazing property so that your dog can go outside and have plenty of room to run she sent daily pictures and videos of our dog having a great time I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again”
“Paul & Julie were amazing, such great people! They gave many photo and text updates throughout my pups’ stay and i could tell how well they took care of them just based off how relaxed they were when i came to pick them up! They looked right at home. I can’t recommend Paul and Julie enough!”
