“Tim is terrific! He is the only person that can enter our home and Bridger is calm and thrilled to see him. He has been flexible which has been a great relief as we had some challenges to our schedule recently. Highly recommend.”

“Kathryn was excellent at taking care of our 11 yo springer in 2 drop in visits. She followed all my directions to a T and remained flexible and willing to come for a third visit because of our changing plans. Would love to have Kathryn watch cooper again in the future.”

“Hannah was fantastic with our pup Leo! After our second dog had to spend a weekend in the emergency room, she was very flexible and accommodating to switch up the schedule unexpectedly and took very good care of our boy when he was home alone and needed extra love! We came home to a very happy pup :)”

“Our first time using Talia and she did a wonderful job caring for our Golden! We will definitely use her again. She was very reliable and our Sadie was well cared for while we were away!”
About: Reliable, fun, and experienced pet sitter with a deep love for both dogs and cats. A Philadelphia native, I grew up in Chestnut Hill and attended the University of Pennsylvania. Born into a family of animal lovers, I spent my childhood taking care of numerous dogs, cats, parakeets, fish, and lizards. I'm skilled in handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments, with a strong understanding of canine behavior, basic training techniques, and health needs. I have a calm nature and pets usually warm to me quickly. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medications, I'm committed to maintaining a stress-free environment. I'm trusted by pet parents for consistent communication, dependability, and respect for their furry family members. I also get rave reviews for my pet photos! All the pictures posted on my profile were taken in the last few months. I recently decided to take a break from the corporate world to focus on what I love most: Dogs and the great outdoors! I'm looking to walk dogs during the week with some weekends depending on my schedule. I'm also available for cat and dog vacation visits during the week and holidays. I like to take my dogs out for multiple walks daily. I'm a big hiker and will make sure your pooch gets a great workout! With less active dogs, playtime is focused at home with short walks around the neighborhood. I also grew up with cats and understand the importance of play and mental stimulation.
“We are returning clients - cannot say enough good about these two. They are on time and thorough. They also pay attention to detail around our home, which is a god send when you’re away for a week! Will always return, Otis loves them!”

“Victoria was amazing with my 5 month old puppy, Luka. She walked him even when it was very hot outside but still made sure he got his exercise and outdoor time! She made sure to feed him and give him water, taking care of my pups wellbeing:) I will definitely be rebooking for future walks!!”

“Honestly, one of the easiest and luckiest experiences I’ve ever had doing something for the first time. I’ve never used rover and was quite apprehensive about it, but Daphne made it so simple and easy for us! Was very transparent and communication was superb! Would highly recommend choosing Daphne for any pet service and will definitely be utilizing her again in the future! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Alexandra was wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease while she watched my cat! My cat also loved her and I loved the detailed notes and pictures Alexandra provided! She was super attentive and overall an amazing sitter! Would defintely recommend and I hope to use her again in the future!”

“Luisa was very easy to work with and I came home to a happy dog. Appreciate her checking in on my dog, Oso, and plan to use her for more dog sitting in the future. Thanks!”

About: I have had dogs and taken care of them my entire life. I have had cats for over 10 years. I currently have a dog and a cat who I love dearly. I currently take care of my friends dogs and cats while they are on vacation or have to work late. I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I’m available to care for and play with your pet most days and nights during the week and weekends. I can come to your home and take care of your pet in a safe environment that your pet feels comfortable in when you are away.
“Susan provided outstanding drop-in care for my dog, exceeding all expectations. It’s clear Susan doesn’t just treat this as a job—she cares deeply about animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. Thank you, Susan!”

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pups—big and small, young and old—and caring for them quickly became second nature. From daily walks and training to belly rubs and senior care, I’ve been hands-on with every stage of a dog’s life. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, build trust with shy or anxious pups, and provide the kind of attention and love that makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers slow strolls and snuggles, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs. My dogs are my babies—and I’d be honored to care for yours like one of my own. I currently work full-time in the area. I can be available for a quick morning and/or mid-day check in within my radius, and free to stay with your babies after 5pm. Safety, Trust & Comfort First—Always Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where safety comes first—no loose wires, no unsafe spaces, and always supervised play and rest time. I am always learning about pet safety for my home and will continue learning! In your home, I follow your routines closely to help your pet feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I respect your space and keep it tidy, making sure your pet’s needs—like walks, feeding, medications, and cuddle time—are handled with care and attention to detail. In my home, pets enjoy a peaceful environment with plenty of cozy spots to relax, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I never take more pets than I can safely and comfortably care for, so your fur baby always gets my full focus. Trust is everything, and I’m committed to building it with both you and your pet through consistency, communication, and lots of love.
About: Other than having treated every injury possible over my 40 years experience, I have taken multiple courses in handling the care of dogs, including medications, shots and emergency care. I am currently retired for my full time work so I have plenty of availability., 24 hours 365 days except when I am with my grand kids. So my philosophy is that there has to be time spent socializing with dogs in addition to walking and feeding. Playing and bounding has to be a priority as well. Mutual trust and respect has to be earned by both, the handler and the dog to have a happy dog even if his/her family is away.

Nicolas B.
“Nick has been our dog trainer and dog sitter for two years. He is always on time and takes care of our dog. Our dog loves us, but when he sees Nick he goes right to him and jumps in the car and loves to be with him. We went away for 24 days and Nick took care of our dog and sent us pictures of him and the dog at his favorite dog park. Nick walks our dog 4 times a day. Nick is always a gentleman and he is part of our dog family. He is taking care of our dog this weekend and when we go away. I highly recommend him to Rover and to any pet person.”
Sarah T.

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!
We cannot say enough about Pat! He has been watching our little Beau since the beginning of the year as work from home arrangements have changed. He is reliable, flexible, trustworthy and Beau absolutely loves his days with Pat. I was so nervous booking, but I would recommend Pat to absolutely anyone!!

Sarah was wonderful with taking care of our cats while we were away! Sent us updates and pictures of the cats and followed through on all the requests and made sure the cats were doing well. I’m super grateful to her for making sure I get back home to the cats being safe and happy!
