“Savannah watched my two boy cats for 2 weeks and was great 😊 she fed, watered and scooped for them each day and was really good with my little one. One of my cats kept hiding but she did her best to try to coax him out! I would definitely recommend Savannah for any animals- she is caring and patient and reliable! Thank you Savannah!! ❤️”

“Sofia was great! She dropped in twice a day, for 6 days, while we were on vacation. We had an unexpected health issue with our one dog, and she went out of her way to make his life easier while we were gone. We were sent plenty of photos and could see that all of our pets really connected well with Sofia. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter!”

About: Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as a care taker for your animal while you are away! I have grown up with dogs (and the occasional bird & fishies). For the past 12 years, I've lived with and visited my best bud Zeke at my parent's house. I would love to have a dog of my own in the future, however for now I am hoping and so happy to take care of other's loved ones during the week and on weekends! I'm an active individual and enjoy taking dogs on walks, for car rides and the occasional ice cream or pup cup. I will give your animal all the love that they've come to expect because they certainly deserve it! Please reach out with any questions, and thanks again for thinking of me! :) I currently work full time (9-5) Monday-Friday, however I usually work from home Friday's and am available on weekends for full time pet care. During the week, I am able to visit (feed, walk, take out for bathroom needs) early in the morning (between 5:30 am to 7 am and in the evening (between 6-9 pm) In my current apartment, pets are welcome visitors. However, I am also happy to visit your home multiple times a day and stay with your pet when needed, especially if you are close! I work only 20 minutes away so I would have ample time in the morning and especially in the evening to stop by to feed, toilet, walk and play with your pet! This is especially great if your pet doesn’t do well in a new environment; I am happy to provide them with everything they’d need in a place where they feel the most comfortable!
“Sydney did a lovely job getting to know my kitties before we left for the week and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. She sent many pictures and great updates while we were away. Which is just a nice thing to see when you are away, because you know that they are happy as well! I will absolutely be booking her again for our future travels.”

“Talia was amazing! I booked her last minute and she made everything work very smoothly. You can tell she genuinely cares, everything felt easy and stress-free from the start. My cats got along great with her! I’d absolutely recommend booking her!”

About: As an animal lover, I truly feel that being around animals is my happiest place. For the past six years, I've cared for three German Shepherds and a cat-both during the day and overnight. Not only did I enjoy it, but I genuinely craved the relationship. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone-not just with your beloved animals, but also with your home. That's why I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive. I hope to meet you soon. 1. Morning Walks & Feeding: I start my day early, so morning walks and feedings are easy to fit into my routine. I enjoy getting fresh air and movement first thing, and pet care fits perfectly into that rhythm. 2. Midday Check-ins or Playtime: I often work from home or have a flexible midday schedule, so I can do potty breaks, walks, or play sessions during lunch hours. These breaks actually energize me and give structure to my day. 3. Evening Wind-down: Evening walks, dinner, and some cuddle time are a nice way to unwind from the day. I usually reserve evenings for low-stress activities, and spending time with pets is relaxing and fulfilling. 4. Sleepover Flexibility: I'm available for overnight stays when needed and plan ahead to ensure I'm fully present for the pets in my care. Routine and Comfort I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime—so they feel safe and secure. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and energy level, adjusting my approach to meet their needs. 🍽️ Feeding and Hydration I prepare meals according to the client’s instructions and make sure fresh water is always available. I double-check feeding schedules and portion sizes to ensure consistency. 🧼 Cleanliness and Hygiene I clean up after the pets—litter boxes, food bowls, toys, and accidents if they happen—so the home stays tidy. I wipe paws if needed after walks and make sure pets are comfortable and clean. 🎾 Exercise and Enrichment I play with dogs or cats to keep them active and engaged—walks, toys, fetch, laser pointers, or cuddles depending on what they love. If the pet is older or has health needs, I provide gentle interaction and quiet companionship. 🩺 Health and Safety I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if anything seems off. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed (oral, topical, or injection, depending on my experience and your instructions). 📝 Communication and Updates I send daily updates with photos or videos so clients can feel at ease while they’re away. I’m responsive and available for check-ins or questions during the sit. 🛋️ Respect for the Home I treat the home with the same care and respect I would want in mine—tidy, secure, and peaceful. I follow house rules (lights, trash, alarms, etc.) and always leave the home in great shape.
“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.”


About: Having Labrador Retrievers my whole life has taught me a lot about caring for dogs and keeping up with dogs who never seem to run out of energy. I also help with a local pet care company, where I’ve gained additional hands-on pet care experience. My schedule changes from week to week, but I love spending time with dogs and try to fit in walks whenever I can! I’m usually available after 3:30 PM, and if I’m off from my main job, I’m often free all day. I follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions. Depending on the visit, this may include walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I prioritize safety, make sure pets are comfortable, and provide updates so owners know their pets are well cared for.
“Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.”

About: Hello ~ I am a stay at home mom and enjoy spending time with all my pup friends. I am happy to offer dog boarding at my home. Currently, I am catering to small 0-15 lbs & medium size dogs up to 35 lbs. Your pet(s) will be treated like family and will have access to a very large backyard that is fenced in, so your dog(s) will never feel confined and will have plenty of room to run/exercise, play & explore or simply chill under a tree. Also the entire property has surveillance cameras, so everyone will be well protected. I have three super friendly small/medium size dogs that have been very well socialized and are always SO happy to welcome a new play pal! A 'meet & greet' will ensure we are a good fit:) Photos and or videos will be provided to you everyday. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Thanks, ~M As a stay at home mom, with the kiddos in school during the day, I have extra free time to give the dogs the attention and quality care you seek in a pet sitter. Also my husband works from home, so the house is always attended👍 I have been fortunate to have met the most wonderful pet parents who now have been repeat clients for years. A favorite feature is our backyard, located on a one acre property is fenced in and it's as large as a small park, this allows for plenty of healthy exercise and fun play or simply chilling at a favorite spot. I walk the backyard every day to ensure there is no debris that can cause harm to the dogs. Also the yard is kept leveled so that there are no accidents when running. To make sure everyone is well hydrated, fresh clean water is accessible to the dogs every day at all times, inside of the house and in the backyard.
“Roxanne took wonderful care of our 14-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - both for recent drop-ins and also while we were away for a week this past summer. At his age, with some health issues and being nearly deaf, he is a bit fragile, but Roxanne handles everything like a pro. She is on top of his medication routine and seems very perceptive and flexible to what he needed at different times (snuggles, sleeping, playing, etc). She sends updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind. Everytime she takes care of him, we come home to a happy pup who clearly feels safe and comfortable with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi, I'm Jen! I've been caring for all different types of animals all my life and I would love the opportunity to spend some time with your pet! I currently own a horse and a cat. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule that allows walks or playtime throughout the day. I've been caring for and walking dogs professionally for 7 years. I have experience with all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I have a wide range of knowledge on different types of harnesses and how to handle any stressful situations that may arise during our time together. In case of emergency, I have a car and will always be able to get your pet to their vet or nearby animal hospital. I am also able to provide any type of medication your pet may need. I love to provide photo updates to the owner during my walks/visits. Because of the many years of experience I've had with horses, I believe I am well equipped to care for a variety of animals. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet like my own. I work from home and am able to provide walks/playtime throughout the day. I have a car so I can travel to you or bring your dog to a park or walk on a path. Whatever you are comfortable with. I live in a nice community where I am able to take dogs on long safe walks. If you need in home care, I am open to drop ins or hosting at my apartment. My cat is very respectful and is used to other animals.
About: I truly love animals and look forward to meeting & caring for new furry friends! I grew up with a dog and always thought I was only a dog person… then I adopted two sweet sister kittens and the rest is history! I currently work about 35 hours a week and have plenty of time to check in and hang out with your cat or dog. I work shifts, however, so it’s important that we discuss timing of when you’d like me to visit with your animals. Let me know how you’d like for me to spend the time with your cat or dog! I’m happy to tailor my visit to meet the needs of your animals.
About: I have always cared for animals my whole life. My family loves dogs especially. We have two huskies that we absolutely adore and two smaller ones. I help my family prepare meals and I take each dog on walks about 2-3 times a week. When medication is needed I also help with that as well. My weekly schedule is pretty open and flexible. For my clients, I’ll make sure that their animals are well cared for the whole time and lots of attention is given:) As of now, I am very flexible and open with my schedule. I prefer to do walks anytime during the week from 9 AM to 8 PM, and am open to certain requests on the weekends, depending on the service/time. At my family home, we have a completely fenced in yard. As someone who has dogs that get very excited and territorial with other dogs, I feel that I have the necessary experience to withhold trust with my clients to ensure that their pets stay safe and sound.
“Alexa was great with my cat, Teddy. Initially, Teddy was somewhat reluctant to interact with Alexa. . She did a great job of making him feel comfortable. By the second day, teddy was very playful with her”

About: Hello! My name is Jess and I am a middle school teacher. I have my own corgi puppy, but would love to help out other dog parents when they need it! I have been walking and taking care of dogs for my entire life. I am located in Conshohocken and can travel. I work full time as a teacher. My schedule allows me to get home around 3:30pm. Since it is summer, I am available all day. My dog has free range in our home. We live next to a dog park and he goes there multiple times a day. We go on long walks, and he gets lots of cuddles.
“Giorgia is amazing. Our dog Winnie loves when she takes her on walks and plays with her. She send pictures of the visit and is very responsive. She’s also very reliable ! So grateful for her and all the help she gives us with Winnie !”
About: I have always had a dog in my house, even now. I know it's hard to leave your dogs when heading away. I hope that I can help! I can give medication, take your dog for walks during the evening and weekends and can provide extra love when you are not around. I have had experience with dogs who are not dog friendly with others, so I am able to handle dogs that might not get along, but that doesn't mean the can't have fun throwing the ball or go for walks (I've learned where to find the walks where other dogs won't be). Any other questions, please feel free to reach out! I’m available on weekends for walks or boarding. During the week, I am available after 4pm for walks and feedings until you get home from work. We have a fenced in yard and dogs are welcome on couches and beds, in this house! I also have a 3 year old son who might be a bigger dog lover than we are, to offer additional affection!
“Dana was wonderful! My dogs love her, and she always gives them extra love and affection. She kept me posted on how they were doing while I was gone, and sent me photos! I would absolutely use her again.”

Villanova dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julie took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and treated them as if they were her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She kept me updated, made sure all of their needs were met, and gave them plenty of love and attention. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter.

Dabney has been so good with our dog. We were in a desperate situation for an all-day thing away from home and we communicated with Dabney just the evening before, late, and she was able to come two times that Saturday to walk our 1yo puppy. We've used her ever since and she's been wonderful. On time, reliable, and good with our dog. Highly recommend Dabney for Bryn Mawr-area dogsitting!

Meera was fantastic and the best dog sitter we have ever had, by far. She made sure our dog’s needs were all met and gave her so much love and companionship during our time away. She was prompt, responsible and provided multiple check in photos a day and constant updates. Highly recommend!

Joanna was terrific! Our dog immediately took to her and Joanna was kind and thoughtful. Joanna was especially attentive to our dog’s stomach sensitivities and followed our vet’s instructions. She kept us informed with regular reports and sent us daily pictures and videos so we could see that Dexter was doing well. She relieved our anxiety of being away and made us feel comfortable and reassured that Dexter was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Joanna and would gladly hire her again.

Alex sid twice-daily walks with our lab mix (who loved Alex immediately!) and provided care for our bearded dragon while we were out of town for a week. Our animals got great care and attention, and Alex was punctual and provided great daily communication. Highly recommend!
