We are grateful for Angela caring for our dog while we were away. Our sweet dog has been experiencing difficulties with her hind legs and we were worried about leaving her, but Angela made us feel comfortable with her care. The peace of mind was allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thank you, Angela!!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ranging from puppies to seniors. owning two cats myself and have owned a dog previously i am fun loving and charismatic to the needs of the individual I work 7-3 but am able to go for walks before and after, during the evening, and anytime on weekends. i am willing to take a range of walks from short quick walks to long walks. I care for my pets in my home by cleaning up after the litter box and walks, feeding regularly, and providing lots of love and pats.

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But so rambunctious for 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. I am currently on a full time job hunt and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can do this work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

I had an excellent experience with this dog sitter! She was not only friendly and prompt but also extremely attentive to my dog's needs. I felt confident leaving my furry friend in their care knowing they would receive great attention and care. I highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable caretaker for their pet.

About: Hello! My name is Andie and I work at VCA South Shore Hospital in ER, ICU, Neurology and Internal Medicine as a technician assistant and have prior TA experience at Old Derby Animal Hospital. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I previously went to the University of Arizona for 3 years studying animal sciences and transferred my junior year to return to the East Coast. I also have some experience with a handful of farm animals from my time at the UofA. Additionally some of my experience comes from working on home farms taking care of horses and alpacas; all of this meaning my knowledge of animals is extensive to give the best care for your furry friends! I have always had the passion for animal care and medicine which is why after graduating I will be continuing my schooling to be a CVT and hopefully someday a veterinarian. A few years back I had participated in boarding through Rover, but after a hiatus I decided to come back to continue with walks and drop in visits because even outside of my main job I love to be around animals! We have a small family dog, but other than that I have rescue retired racing greyhound, Moose, who has travelled far and wide with me. My pets also include many fish, a leopard gecko, chickens and ducks! All this being said, I would absolutely love the opportunity to be alongside your best friends and scratch the itch to spend as much time with animals as I can! I am currently working full time at VCA Animal Hospital where I can do Sat, Sun and Mon anytime. I am open to doing drop ins and walks. It would really help potentially putting me in a position for veterinary school! I take care of your pets like they are my own. I think every one has their own needs and personality, there is no "one size fits all" for any animal. I try to learn your pet on an individual level!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets throughout my whole life (also including chickens and goats!) I’ve been the primary caretaker of 2 cats and 1 senior dog over the last 6 years. I am skilled with basic pet care, and I pay close attention to pet’s specific needs (ex: special diet, unique quirks, injury/vet care). Animals have a special place in my heart. I’ve helped stray cats, I’ve pulled over for loose dogs on the road, I donate to the local animal shelter, and I consider animal welfare even while grocery shopping. My family jokingly calls me the “animal whisperer” and they often turn to me for pet advice. I’m a firm believer that pets aren’t just animals, they are part of the family. I’m currently working full time during the weekday, so I’m a great fit for evening/night shifts! I’m available for evening walks or any other drop in tasks. I’m also available on the weekends (as needed and varies) and I can be available for any pet care needed during weekend trips. I do multiple physical checks throughout the day to make sure my pets are accounted for and aren’t in any distress or messy situations. I also make sure that there are no open doors or windows left unattended. I make sure that the floors and counters are clean of food or any small items, ensuring that my pets won’t try to eat something they shouldn’t. If something seems off with my pets’ behavior, I always inspect them and/or do research to determine if a vet call is needed or not. Lastly, I follow my pets’ feeding routines and porch time routines, and of course spend time playing and cuddling.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Currently in my house, we have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I help take care of. I have been on Rover for about 6 years. I am an elementary teacher and high school girls basketball coach. I am currently on summer break since I am an elementary teacher. This means that I have a lot of free time because I am not working anywhere else. I am a very active person, so I love playing with all dogs and taking them on nice, long walks. I have also been around dogs and cats my whole life, so I love spending time with all animals.

Lace took great care of my cats while I was out of town, and I would happily use her again, and recommend her to my friends. I came home to happy, well-fed fur balls thanks to her! She's incredibly responsive to outreach and never left me wondering what was going on while I was away. She also brought in the mail and watered my plants, which was a huge help. Thanks Lace, you rock!

Juliette is everything we needed - friendly, responsive, on time, caring to our fur baby, and communicative. She also took some of the best pictures of Chessie we've ever seen! It was fun to see the pics every day. We had peace of mind when we were away and are looking forward to having her cat sit again.

About: As a former teacher & current attorney, I love research, learning & value being prepared. I'll take the same approach when caring for your pet. I am attentive and responsive. I have researched how to care for dogs and behaviors that should raise concerns, and I acknowledge that every dog is different, so a custom approach to care is required. I am eager to meet you and learn about your care routine and expectations so I can make sure your pet feels like you never left. I am a full-time attorney and landlord, so I do not have any pets, but I love and miss spending time with them which is why this role is perfect. I no longer live with a pet, but in my prior apartment, my roommate had a kitten, so we worked together to train and take care of him. It required a lot of patience. Care included feeding him, providing water, monitoring the litter box, researching and implementing effective ways to deter unwanted behaviors, making the house cat-friendly.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.

I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents can know their pets are safe and happy.

About: Becoming a dog mom in January 2026 has taught me so much about caring for puppies and understanding their unique needs. Over the past several months, I've gained experience with potty training, crate training, daily walks, feeding schedules, socialization, enrichment, and all the energy and love that comes with raising a puppy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I would want the same for my own dog. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, with three days working from home each week. Because I have a young puppy of my own, I spend much of my free time at home and maintain a flexible routine. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My puppy is still learning and can be a little shy around new dogs at first, but she is friendly and typically becomes more comfortable with proper introductions and time to adjust. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a puppy owner, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close supervision. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. My puppy is friendly but can be a little nervous around new dogs initially, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, safe environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for like family.

We reach out to Adriana first whenever we need intermittent/drop in visits for our sweet 15 year old dog. She's used to us home with her most of the time, and when we need to leave her for longer than she's used to, Adriana gives us great peace of mind by dropping in. She's always terrific with communication and dependability. Thoroughly recommend!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Abington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Abington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 9,624 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Abington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Abington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Abington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Abington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abington. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
