About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience helping family members and friends care for their pets while they’re away. Whether your furry friend needs a quick drop in visit, feeding, medication, a relaxing neighborhood walk, or an adventure filled with exercise and playtime, I’ve got them covered! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Your pet’s happiness and safety will always be my top priorities! I currently work Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays full time so I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. During my days off I will be available throughout the day no time is too early or too late to provide the care your pet needs. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big decision. As someone who has owned dogs and cats my entire life, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets with the same love and attention that you do. Your pet’s safety and well being will always be my top priorities. Whether we’re enjoying a neighborhood walk, exploring the outdoors, or spending time together at home, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time. I believe every pet is unique, which is why I’ll take the time to learn about their personality, routines, energy levels, and any special needs they may have. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and anything else that helps keep your pet happy and healthy. During walks, I’ll always be mindful of our surroundings, weather conditions, traffic, and interactions with other animals. I’ll never put your pet in an uncomfortable or potentially dangerous situation just for the sake of an adventure. Communication is also extremely important to me! I’ll happily provide regular updates, pictures, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Above all, I want to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners through reliability, communication, and genuine care. My goal is simple: to give your pets an experience they’ll look forward to and give you the peace of mind you deserve!
“Amanda was really great with the dog very very thoughtful came over and met me before just so she would be familiar with me and the dog before the first drop-in visit are the only drop-in visit actually but she was really great. I would recommend her to anyone she communicates well she’s great with the dog a real blessing.”

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 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’ve had cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Animals love me and I love them. I don’t have any pets at this time and would love to help care for yours. I’m currently self employed and create my own schedule which is very flexible. I have plenty of free time to care for pets. No worries for frequent potty trips. My home has a fenced in yard so perfect for playtime. Lots of birds and squirrels parading around for amusement. Very comfortable and reliable to come to your home as well.
About: I’ve lived with two reactive, senior dogs (a pittie and chihuahua) for the past two years and get the privilege of volunteering with the dogs at the shelter near me weekly! Experience with medication administration (topical and oral), basics needs (walking, feeding, playing) and overnight sitting. Current Schedule for drop ins (as someone who works full time) is: Monday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Tuesday: 5am-7am, 8pm-midnight Wednesday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Thursday: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight F: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight Saturday/Sunday: anytime I have experience leashing/walking/caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and behavior. I know when they need space, or when they want to play. I also am very careful about diet - have experience dealing with dogs w/sensitive stomachs or allergies so you can trust your dog’s feeding needs with me. Also have experience working with dogs who have special needs, including deaf and blind.

About: I have 4 years worth of dog walking and drop ins! Short-longer walks and short walk - ins to do feeding, take outside, and play! I’m currently a part time worker at my other job, so I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays all available, and Saturdays available to meet your needs! I don’t have a fenced in yard and have my own fur baby that is anxious around other dogs, but glad to care in your home however you’d like me to! Playing in the back yard, crate the dog(s) if needed, walks with or without leash (whichever preferred)!

“Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our two siamese cats. They are really needy, but were in great spirits when we got back. Kat was always on time and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. The food area and litter boxes were spotlessly clean and so was our apartment.”
About: My husband and I have been doing Rover for 5+ years! I’m a teacher, so I’m away during the day, but my husband works from home full-time. I also have grooming experience and know all kinds of dog behaviors. Our dog is friendly but has high anxiety, so we require a meet & greet for boarding/daycare. Walks don’t need one. We treat every pup like family! I am a teacher and not around during the day but my fiance works from home FT! Not only do you have one person caring for your dog, but TWO! There is a lot of yard space right behind my apartment. I care for your animals as I care for my own, maybe will sometimes spoil them too!
About: I have watched dogs all sizes, breeds, and personalities since I was 16 for neighbors, friends, and family. I have fed pets, taken pets for walks, and hung with them. I do work full time but I’m around weekends, week nights, Thursdays, and Tuesday mornings. I have two dogs myself so I know how to manage time. I can crate your dog, make sure they are in a comfortable environment, make a close relationship with our dog and have no danger around them.

“Breanna is amazing, very caring knowledgeable of dogs. She is very trustworthy,And caring. She did drop in for my two dogs while I was on vacation. I would definitely use her again.”

Shannon was great with our mini dachshund Lainey! She was very responsive, took the time to come meet Lainey before her first official booking and made sure to ask all the right questions about how to best care for our pup. Would highly recommend and would absolutely book with Shannon again!

We’ve used Jacqueline for weekly visits for about 18 months and she has exceeded all expectations. She’s prompt, great communication both from our home and between visits, and she genuinely cares about animals. We have an English bulldog that requires lots of attention and Jaqueline delivers!! Absolutely would recommend Jacqueline for your pet care.

I booked last minute with Kelly, and she was fantastic with Benny. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent pictures and updates throughout, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
Nicole was a great sport in helping me train Ellis to strangers and walk around the block, in the cold no less! She was wonderfully kind to Ellis, very soothing in tone and mannerisms, and by the end of our little session, Ellis was perfectly comfortable with her! Would trust her with Ellis again!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
