We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.

Danielle was GREAT! She kept us in the loop with lots of photos/texts while we were away. We felt very comfortable entrusting her with our animals and having her stay in our house while we were gone.

Marcus is an amazing house sitter. We really enjoyed meeting with him in advance to go over our animal care instructions. It made us feel comfortable getting to know who we would be leaving our animals with and it also gave our animals a chance to get to know him as well. Marcus was thoughtful and considerate during our time away. He sent us regular check ins and let us know when he arrived and departed. Before leaving the final time he also straightened up the kitchen and living room and took the trash- which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Marcus and we will also be booking with him in the future.

Kailee did an awesome job taking care of my Pomeranian and cat while I was away and went above and beyond in every way. She was punctual and communicative, very professional but warm and friendly. My dog, who is honestly an anxious handful, was immediately at ease and had a great weekend. I returned home to a sparkling house, and two happy, sleepy and calm animals. I am so impressed and I would absolutely recommend Kailee for anyone looking for a patient, reliable sitter/ house sitter.

He responded quickly to my inquiry, which was super helpful, because it was a pretty last-minute booking! His mom ended up being the one to come be with our dogs (which he did get our approval on beforehand). She showed up on time and was kind.

Julie was amazing! Our pets were very well care for while we were gone. We came home to a house that was in as good, if not better shape than when we left. She communicated with me any time I requested and in a timely manner. I felt good knowing they were well cared for while we were gone. Oh, she even washed the sheets on the bed she used. Great service for sure!

Lisa you are amazing! You exceeded all of our expectations. We didn’t worry about our dogs once while we were gone. We loved getting daily reports and cute pics. Thanks for being flexible when our flight changed and for taking great care of our home and plants as well:) You feel like a part of our family!

Nancy was absolutely amazing! She watched my baby while I was in Portugal and took wonderful care of him. She took him on adventures and sent me updates with pictures every day. When I got home it was as of Mary Poppins had been there! The house was cleaner than we had left it, zen music was playing for Vinnie, and Vinnie was happy and tired out. I couldn't ask for a better sitter!

This was our first time using Rover and Lydia made it such an easy and wonderful experience for us. We came home to a clean house and very happy pups! We have issued other pet sitting services before but we’ll for sure be using Rover, and hopefully, Lydia again.

About: I've had animals the majority of my life. I currently have 4 dogs in my home; 2 labs (ages 12 & 7) and 2 great dane sisters (age 2) plus I have chickens and ducks outside. I can handle everything from puppy all the way to senior. I own my own business and work from home so I have alot of flexibility as far as being able to care for your babies whether in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard for them to run as they please. Our pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, it's their home too!

About: I’ve been around animals since I was very young, and I spent some time volunteering with the Brandywine Valley SPCA. Currently I’m only working with smaller dogs and cats, due to an arm injury I’m not able to work with big dogs. Currently working part time, I’m usually available most days except for Sunday and Wednesday. I’m still flexible around these days, we can work out details of pet sitting times if need be. I’m willing to work with pets of all temperaments and I will work to build trust with any pets I work with. I will make sure to walk the dog as much as needed and be sure to clean up after them.

Laura Smith is wonderful! She follows exact instructions for your fur-baby. We felt very comfortable with Laura dog-sitting our very old and weak jack Russell who requires medication 3 times a day. She sent us updates about our dog while we are aware. We will use Laura again.

About: I have owned pets all of my life. I personally have cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and rodents. There is nothing off the table for me. I currently have 2 cats of my own. I work 7:30-4 but can visit the animals on lunch my breaks if needed. I can do early morning, afternoon, or evening visits based on your needs. I have 2 indoor cats that have free range of my house. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Whatever they need I’m willing to do my best to provide.

About: I started taking care of cats when I was about 10, but I recently started taking care of dogs when I was around 16 off and on with neighbors and family friends! I work in the early morning so I would be available around 1-9pm. It will just be me and your dog unless they like other pets during play time. I have a fenced in big backyard for playing and playful Chocolate lab. I adore play time and will spend as long as they like outside getting out all of their zoomies and having water for them at all times!

About: Love me, Love my dog. One of my mom's quotes. That's how I was raised, unconditionally loving and being loved by dogs. Until now I don't think I've ever lived without my own dog. For this reason it would be my honor to sit with your pup while you are away. I'm currently unemployed and flexible. I am usually available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and other days available by special request. Feel free to ask. I am unable to dogsit in my home; I have a house full and want to make sure that your pet is my top priority. If I do a drop in, I will change the water, walk your dog, and spend time if that's what's asked. I imagine this will vary client to client when the agreement is being made. I will care for your pet as I do my own; there's no such word as spoiled when it comes to our dogs! Our pets are family, and your pet/ pets will be well cared for and loved.
