“Elena took great care of our kitties while we were away, making sure they were clean, fed, and watered. She also provided great photos and notes to keep us updated on how things went. I highly recommend Elena for drop-in visits and would be happy to work with her again!”


“Alexis was wonderful! She cared for our four cats over a holiday weekend and gave us consistent updates and photos each day. Communication was easy and she made sure everyone was safe, fed and loved—even our more reserved cat. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”


“Ally took wonderful care of our two kitties. She is super communicative and provided detailed updates each day. She went above and beyond - taking lots of pictures and cleaning up after our kitties. We would highly recommend her!”


“Amanda was a wonderful cat sitter! We have two very sweet older kitties who need medication twice a day. She took very good care of them and sent lots of very cute pictures. It’s clear they were very happy while we were away. She also went above and beyond what was asked. If the kitties made any messes while we were gone, there was no evidence when we came home! She also cleaned up something that had spilled from our pantry onto the floor while we were gone. We really appreciate that she took such care of our pets and home while we were away. Amanda was a great communicator, sending updates often (but not too much) and she responds to messages very promptly. We will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future!”


“Briana was very quick to respond to my request, considering it was within 5 days for the first walk/feed. She came over for a meet and greet and asked pertinent questions, which showed her experience. Briana was on time, did everything that we asked and more. I am looking forward to using her services again. Thank you!”


About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.

About: Hello! I’m looking forward to meeting and taking care of your fur baby. I had 2 beagles that I adopted as puppies who passed away in February and March of 2020 at 14 and 15 years old. After they passed, I started fostering for Senior Dog Haven And Hospice and adopted my first foster dog, a little Senior Chihuahua, who just recently passed away in 2024. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and am comfortable with all medications except injectables. I work from home and your dog will rarely be left unattended and can go out in the fenced yard or go for walks as often as needed. Your dog will have lots of love and attention while staying with me 🐾❤️ Please reach out with any questions or if you would like to schedule a meet and greet! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I really enjoy getting out of the house to take dogs for a walk, but also have a fenced in yard for them to run around in and go out as frequently as is needed. For in home sitting I love having guest dogs to snuggle in the morning while I have my coffee, hang out with me in the office, and follow me around through the day 😊 I typically have dogs sleep in their bed in my bedroom, but am flexible to the routine that your dog is accustomed to. For a visits and walks at your home, I allow time for at least a 30 minute walk or visit/playtime. However, I am only able to offer this service within about a 5 mile radius from Royersford.

“I didn't get a chance to meet Matt prior to booking him but he was very flexible and was able to jump in. He knew my dog from when Crispin was at MLAR and they were able to get on well. I got lots of pictures and could see my dog was happy and healthy. I won't hesitate to book him again. Thanks for helping this weekend, Matt! I appreciate it.”



About: Animals have been a part of my life for over six decades, and caring for them brings me purpose. I've had dogs by my side my whole life, shared my home with cats, spent years riding and caring for horses, and even rescued a goose and few pigeons. I’m experienced with pets of all ages. I understand the special care they need and have hands-on experience administering medications and supporting aging pets with patience and compassion. Their comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. I also have the patience to help young animals that are still in their training phase. Now retired, I have the time and energy to devote fully to your furry (or feathered!) family members. I believe every animal deserves love, respect, and lots of attention—and that’s exactly what I provide. Whether you’re going away or just need an extra hand, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in experienced, loving hands. I am retired so I am free to assist in any way I can, no job is too small and I am always happy to help. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take time to learn their routine, keep doors and gates secure, avoid hazards, and provide constant supervision, love, and calm, reliable care.

About: Hi there! I’ve been around pets since I was five—dogs, cats, and one stubborn goldfish who thought he was the boss. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent… and yes, a certified dad joke enthusiast. You’ve been warned 😄 I walk dogs daily—sometimes even on purpose. 🐕 I promise to give your pup a paws-itively good time. And don’t worry, I never take short paws on the job. (Okay, I’ll stop… for now.) Seriously though, I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or just some company while you’re out, your furry friend will get all the attention, love, and treats (with your permission, of course) they deserve. I’m local to Limerick, dependable, and always ready to make tails wag. Book me if your dog needs a walk—or if you just want someone to laugh at bad puns with your pup. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life—I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, so feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and cuddle sessions are second nature. I structure my day around giving animals the attention and routine they need to stay happy and healthy. I always make time for early morning or evening walks, and I’m flexible throughout the week for drop-ins or playtime. Honestly, spending time with pets is the best part of my day—whether we’re out for a walk or just exchanging life stories (I do most of the talking, but dogs are great listeners!). If it involves paws, playtime, or poop bags—count me in. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I follow their established schedule as closely as possible—because pets thrive on routine (and frankly, so do I!). That means: • Meals served on time, just how they like it • Walks and potty breaks at their usual intervals • Playtime or cuddle time based on their energy and preferences • Any medications or special care handled exactly as directed If I’m in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s habits—whether that means a favorite window seat, sleeping arrangement, or quirky routine (yes, I’ve sung lullabies to dogs before… no judgment). I aim to make each visit feel like just another regular day for your pet—just with a new (and hopefully funny) friend filling in!

“Jen is awesome! This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Jen sent us photos of the pets, and gave us updates during the drop-in visit. We felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care.”


“Caitlin did an excellent job checking in on my cat, Max, while I was away on vacation. She also took care of my outdoor garden. The plants looked great when I came back!”


About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to delicate seniors. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pet feels happy and safe, and I keep in close communication with pet parents so you always know your pet is being well-cared for. As a fully remote worker, I have the flexibility to manage my meeting schedule, allowing me to allocate dedicated blocks of time for pet care. I keep my calendar meticulously up-to-date, ensuring that you can rely on the availability shown. I like to get to know each dog I care for and tailor activities based on their personality and needs. For active dogs we may play fetch and go for long walks. On bad weather days, I engage them with brain games, play tug of war, or offer a bone to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. My goal is to ensure each pet feels happy, comfortable, and well-cared for, whether they're at my home or in their own.

“Broderick took great care of our animals while away for about 10 days. All animals were happy and healthy when we got back. He was responsive and friendly when we met and we'd love to book him again.”
