About: Hello Canine Parents, I love and welcome dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. While you are away, I will feed, walk and play with your with puppy or dog with love and compassion. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully monitor interactions and create a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax and enjoy themselves. I will care for your dog as if they were my own! My schedule would be based on your dog's needs. I am available for daily check-ins, over night stays and daily walks. Your dog's needs come first. When caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comfortable and stress free as possible. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, portion sizes, treats, medications and any special dietary needs. Fresh water will always be available. Daily walks and exercise would be tailored to your dog's age, energy level and your preferences. Exercise could be a short/long walk, short bathroom breaks, playtime in the yard or indoor activities. Companionship, affection and attention are a must when caring for your pet.
“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
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.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last nine years. For the last few years, my fiancé and I have had four dogs: A puggle mix, a pug, a Shih-poo, and a beagle. Our pug and beagle passed in 2024-2025. 🌈 I have experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and some puppy training. I also have experience bathing animals. I’m generous with the treats and even more generous with the snuggles! I work from 9-5 M-F but am remote on Mondays, Fridays and alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can do drop in visits for walks any time during weekends and in the evenings and occasional afternoons during the week. We have a fenced in yard at our home, but our babies also get walks. With me, your pet will come first and always be treated like one of my own.
“Christine was amazing!! Communicated well and took excellent care of Finn. It set my mind as ease while at work, knowing she took such great care of him. Thank you, again!! Highly recommend others reach out to her for their pet needs.”
“Abhay has been doing drop in visits for my dog for the past 3 weeks. During this time, he has been excellent with communication and following care instructions for my dog. He has been respectful of my property while caring for my dog and I have no complaints. I am comfortable having him do drop in visit care.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for dogs, and I’m excited to get back to doing something I truly enjoy! I’m a proud dog mom to my own pitbull, Jax, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m reliable, caring, and attentive, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, or getting outside to explore, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love along the way. I’m currently offering dog walking services and would love the opportunity to meet your pup! My goal is to make every walk a safe, happy, and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. ❤️🐶 I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! I work full-time during the week, but I’m happy to fit dog walking into my schedule when I’m available! I’m available for walks on weekday evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. I prioritize every dog’s safety and comfort, treating each pup as if they were my own. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I provide walks in the client’s neighborhood, always use a secure leash, and adjust each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs.
“We are so happy to have found Carleen! My dogs loved her immediately, which made me feel completely at ease. The actions shots of their play time had me laughing as I could see they were all having a fun visit. It’s such a relief to know they’re getting a break while I am at work.”
About: I’ve been walking neighbors and family-friend dogs for as long as I can remember! Im currently trying to get my dog training license. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and loved. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I’m currently in the process of starting my own coffee trailer business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m looking forward to using this time to do something I genuinely love while earning some extra income. Being a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday routine, so dog walking and pet sitting fit perfectly into my lifestyle! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I make sure to follow their owner’s instructions closely. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medications, I want your pet to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and given plenty of love and attention. I also respect my clients’ homes and make sure everything is kept clean and organized. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands!
“OMG, Juliette is amazing! She came each day almost to the minute and took care of everything. She kept us updated with pics and videos of our kitties and went above and beyond by doing whatever she could to make each visit perfect! Highly recommend!”
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.
“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!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life and have a deep love and compassion for them, and other animals of all shapes and sizes. I prioritize custom care to fit your pet’s unique personality and boundaries to ensure that not only they are happy & safe, but you are at ease and comfortable with me caring for your precious baby! Small to medium dogs only please ❤️🐾 I am highly available throughout the week, Wednesday through Sunday. I can come by as early as 7am and as late as 10pm to make sure your furry friend has their food, water, and necessary medication at the time they need it, so you don’t have to stress! I have one indoor-only cat who is the love of my life! I work part time as a receptionist at an animal hospital so my cat is up to date on all of his vaccines and exams. He has a sensitive tummy and feline asthma as well as a heart condition, so I am highly familiar and flexible with cats with any kind of conditions requiring medication administration, special diets or processes.

Special skills in doggy CPR, and experience in medicating dogs when needed. I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to work from home as well when needed. I am available everyday of the week, and would just need 24 hours to do any pick up or drop off. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs of my own to keep your pup company, and have a crate available if needed for them to have a comfortable place to stay.
About: While I was never able to have a pet of my own until later in life, I absolutely adore and loved dogs all my life. I have experience with dogs with skin allergies and administrating medication. I work from home, Monday through Friday, so I will be around your fur baby to ensure they are well taken care of and can give them lots of cuddle sessions. I live in an apartment with my two fur babies with lots of grass area outside. There’s a dog park as well within my apartment complex that is accessible and I only go to when no one else is there to ensure the safety of the pets.
About: As a registered nurse, safety, empathy, and attentive care are second nature to me. When caring for furry family members, my priority is making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved. As a dog and cat owner, I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your pets. When your loved one is in my care, you can rest easy knowing they are in responsible, highly experienced hands! I work full time during the day but I am available Monday through Friday anytime after 2:30 or anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. Let me know what your needs are! I have a friendly dog in my home who loves to play with other pups. My yard is not fenced in big enough for your pup to run around and play.
About: I have had two dogs at home my whole life, so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs. I now have my own dog that I have self-trained, independently. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of experience walking, training, and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! I am extremely responsible and also very active, so there is no doubt your dog would be in good hands. I am willing to take your dogs for long walks and/or runs and also play with them and give them love. I am hoping that I will have the opportunity to build a long-term relationship with you and your dog, so that both parties will have some consistency. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the possible care of your dogs! I currently have flexibility on weekday evenings after 3:30 PM. Additionally, I am available all day on Tuesdays and on the weekends. I am very flexible with my schedule, though! At your home, I feel comfortable feeding, playing and walking your dog. Additionally, I have my own dog that loves to play with other dogs, if you are comfortable with that!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
Kim has been so great! She took time out of her own day to come and meet our new pup Gus before we even booked. She is punctual, reliable, and flexible with her availability. Gus loves his time with her and Kim always sends updates and great photos from every visit!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Abington is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,045 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Abington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abington. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
