About: I love animals! Family, friends, and neighbors have requested me to be their pet sitter for years. My dog, Marshall, who I have raised since a puppy, is my best friend! I am used to dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. My work this summer is part time and mostly online. I have bounds of free time and am quite flexible to work around your needs! I am very patient and responsive to pets needs. My own dog has a lot of anxiety and issues with socializing, so I understand the need for a schedule, good exercise and nutrition, and calm interaction.
“Barb is the greatest and the best! We are always happy when she has an opening for us. The dog is calm and relaxed, and we get to see the walks she took while we were gone! Barb is flexible and patient with the dog and with us. Thanks, Barb!”
“I felt confident that my pet was safe and content as Antonia seems to be a natural with dogs that aren’t perfect. She also altered her schedule and allowed me to have Additional care with no notice! So grateful…. I will definitely rebook!”

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.
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
About: I love dogs but my work and travel schedule impact my ability to have my own dog. I'm looking forward to spend time and caring for your dog and all the good that will bring to all of us when I am available. I work remotely 2 days/ week with a long commute but available to care for a pet the days I am not traveling. I also travel one week each month to Arizona for family so looking to optimize my chance to care for your dog when I am in home in Pennsylvania. I live in a townhouse community that is not fully fenced and when I care for my sister's dog, I walk her on her leash around our community that loves dogs with many caring dog owners around me. We also hang out in the house and she loves to sleep on my office while I work and gives me a great excuse to disconnect from work every few hours and go for long walks in the mutiple, beautiful parks around where I live.
“I am so happy to have Brenda to help care for our family’s new puppy. It is very reassuring to me that he has a scheduled playtime with Brenda when we have other commitments. I especially love the pictures that she sends after the visits so that we can see how much fun our little guy had. She is a wonderful sitter!”
About: Some people may call us DOG CRAZY but we call ourselves DOG LOVERS and currently own two high-maintenance dogs which we spoil daily. We will take care of your dog as if they were our own. Our large fenced-in backyard provides lots of space for playing and running around. We will provide you with updates while your dog is under our care. Be ready for pictures and videos of your dog while we have fun together! We are currently working from home, and have a flexible schedule. We enjoy going outdoors and would love to take your dog to the park. Warning!!! Your pup might not want to leave. They will be treated as VIP, pampered and loved throughout their stay 🥰 As you are away, please be assured your pup will be on their best vacay ever with top notched care from us 👍
“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: 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.
“Mark was perfect, helped out with my dog when we reached our short notice and saved us from canceling our plans. He was absolutely terrific with our dog and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for help”
About: Hi there! I have 4 years of experience caring for my own sweet Maltipoo, plus two senior Chihuahuas (13 and 9 years old) in my family. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and temperaments—whether they’re energetic or need extra patience. I provide loving, attentive care and treat every dog like family💛. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities! I work full-time on Rover, so I’m very responsive and usually reply within 5 minutes❣️. I’m available every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Early mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me—I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. Last-minute bookings are welcome! At home, I create a cozy, safe environment for all pets. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is well-behaved and friendly, and he loves company! I ensure pets have plenty of playtime, relaxing moments, and space to feel comfortable. I’m very attentive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or giving extra love. Your dog will be treated like family, with all the attention and care they deserve.
About: Just a girl in grad school missing her pups. I have raised and watched a wide range of cats and dogs and am willing to do literally anything you want for them. I love walks, playing, cuddle sesh, basic training, etc. I am a grad student studying Occupational Therapy in Elkins Park. I typically have class between 9-3 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but am free anytime outside of those hours I am happy to take dogs on long walks and/or play in the yard with them. I also have a car and am willing to take them to a trail or dog park if you’d like!
About: I've taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was 13. I've reliably given medications, fed, walked and bathed pets of many neighbors, friends, and family. I've played with pets with enthusiasm and energy. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from a small Shetland Sheepdog to a very large and strong Rhodesian Ridgeback. I like to think of myself as, less of a stranger to the dog, and more of a fun, friendly face that will bring many walks, snuggles, and praise! My daily and weekly routine revolves around my pet care! Being available and reliable is my number one priority! Whether your dog simply needs a midday walk because you're stuck at work or your dog needs a sitter for a couple of days, I aim to meet your needs and exceed your expectations of quality care. I am happy to come to your home where your dog feels most safe and comfortable! I want your pet to feel as little anxiety as possible. I'm sure you've built a wonderful life for your dog(s) at home and I would be happy to care for them without taking them out of their home environment. Just like if we go on vacation, coming home to our own bed, our own food, our TV set up just the way we like it, home is comforting and familiar.
“Thanks Lori for your wonderful care of Bowie over the Holidays, I know Bowie loves your visits and care you provide Bowie, he is so happy to see you each time you come to care for him”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
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!
Reagan helped us out last minute when we had to take a quick overnight trip this weekend. She took such great care of our two dogs and kept us posted with photos and updates with each check-in so we were able to enjoy our time away knowing they were in great hands!

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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
