“Steph truly goes above and beyond when she is taking care of our little kitten. We have used her multiple times at this point. We NEVER have to worry if our cat is taken care of, she does that and more. Icing on the top is a thoughtful note summarizing each visit, along with photos. Gives our family peace of mind when we have Steph looking after him!”
“First time experience using Rover.com and so happy Franco chose Jeannie S. She and her dogs were wonderful, well trained around our puppy and very gentle. I didn't fret once while I was away and felt Franco was in good, caring hands. Pleasure meeting her family and their dogs. Thank you for the puppy sitting and hope we meet again soon with our beloved dogs! I highly recommend Jeannie and her sitter experience!! Cheryl, Tom & Franco”
About: About Me Having grown up with dogs for most of my life, I understand that a pet is a family member who deserves undivided attention and care. In my professional life, I am a Special Education Teacher, a role that has gifted me with immense patience, a calm demeanor, and the ability to follow strict routines to the letter. While I don’t currently have animals of my own, I channel my lifelong passion into being the trusted, go-to walker and sitter for friends and family. The Benefit of Undivided Attention Since my home is currently pet-free, your dog or cat receives my 100% devotion without any distractions. I have extensive experience with multi-pet households, managing everything from high-energy play sessions for large dogs to the specific, quieter needs of independent cats. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule or providing extra cuddles, I treat every pet with the same love and respect I gave my own for years. Services & Personalized Care Focused Dog Walking: Tailored to your dog’s energy level and sensory needs. Drop-In Visits: Ideal for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. Reliable Communication: I am highly communicative and will send frequent photo updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. My Availability I balance my love for animals with my full-time teaching career, which means I have a very consistent and predictable schedule: Mornings: Available Monday & Wednesday mornings for early walks/feedings (before 7 am). Evenings: Available Tuesday nights and Friday afternoons (after 4:00 PM). Weekends: I am fully available every other weekend, from Friday evening after 4 pm through Monday at 7:00 AM. Bonus Holiday & Summer Availability: As a teacher, I have extended flexibility during Spring and Winter breaks, as well as major holidays. I am also very open and available this coming summer for more frequent walks and drop-ins! Possible boarding and house sitting in the summer. Availability Tuesday Evenings: Available after 4:00 PM for walks or drop-ins. Wednesday Mornings: Available for early visits before 7:00 AM. Weekends: Available every other weekend (Friday 4:00 PM – Monday 7:00 AM) for more frequent visits. Note: As a full-time Special Education teacher, I am used to following routines! While my weekly schedule is consistent, I have a lot of flexibility during school holidays and long weekends. My schedule will be wide open for summer break as I will be nannying only two days per week. If you have a specific need outside these hours, please reach out. I’m happy to see if I can make it work! As a Special Education teacher and a mom, patience and reliability are second nature to me. When providing walks or drop-in visits, I focus on giving your pet my full, undivided attention and maintaining the specific routine they need to feel secure. I am extremely detail-oriented. Whether it's following precise feeding instructions or ensuring your home is locked up tight, I pride myself on sending frequent photo updates so you always have peace of mind. My goal is to be the most dependable part of your pet's day while you are away.
“Marian took great care of my two senior cats, one of whom has had some recent medical issues. She is knowledgeable, professional, communicative and organized. Highly recommend! Thank you, Marian.”
“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”

“Amanda was so incredible checking in on our girl. She gave great info every time she went over and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She even helped try and reset our WiFi when it went down for us. She is super nice and we’ve already rebooked her to watch our girl on an upcoming trip!”

About: Hi there! I’m a registered nurse who genuinely loves animals and feels so lucky to be able to care for them. Beyond just loving them, I bring real experience — I’ve personally cared for many different types of dogs, including those with behavioral challenges, so I’m always patient, attentive, and focused on safety. As a nurse, being responsible, detail-oriented, and trustworthy comes naturally to me, and I will always make sure to follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same level of care I’d want for my own. I would never put your pet at risk — their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m excited to be a trusted friend to your pup/cat, whether that’s for walks, playtime, or just some good company! Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member! Since I work full-time from home (8 AM to 4 PM), I have some flexibility in the afternoons for nearby visits. I’m also an early riser and available in the evenings, with weekends completely open for pet sitting and walks. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need! When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness above all else. I’m respectful of any boundaries or routines you have set — whether that means maintaining crate training, allowing free roam, or following specific house rules. I’m also comfortable helping reinforce positive behaviors if you’re working on training. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels secure, respected, and cared for, just like they would with you!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. More specifically I have had experience caring for puppies of different breeds and sizes (Welsh corgi, bulldog, German Shepard). I work remote and am around most weekends so I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pet. I enjoy staying active and being outside and would love to bring your pet along on weekend and weekday walks! I am happy to play with your dog in a fenced yard, take them to the dog park or just take them on walks. When we’re inside, I like to make sure there are plenty of toys around to play with but ensure the pup is supervised while playing with toys so they don’t swallow anything they shouldn’t.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
Ally was the perfect sitter for our anxious dog. She gave him lots of attention and love so he relaxed and had a great time. I was nervous because we hadn’t used Rover before, but this was a great experience and will definitely use it again (with Ally of course!).
Katie was wonderful! I waited too long to book our usual dog walker and came to Rover to see if I can find another one we could use. Katie came and had a meet & greet with our Great Dane and it went well. Our pup loved her! She sent pictures and updates so I never had any worries if my dog was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking Katie again!

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.

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.
