“Kristina was awesome! She was on-time, reliable, easy to work with and loved our animals like her own!! And they loved her too!! Would definitely book her again! Thanks!!”
“I have both an indoor cat and an outdoor stray that I care for and Paige did a fantastic job taking care of both of them while I was away for a week. She even managed to get my timid cat to trust her, which is no small feat. I can absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Keri was so wonderful- I really appreciated her communication and kindness throughout the time she came over to hangout with our kitten while we were away! Very timely in communicating and also was able to do a meet and greet with us before we went away. Highly recommend her, she was wonderful with our cat!”
About: Hi, my name’s Matt and I have been taking care of various kinds of animals since I was 12. Fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, dogs, and cats. You name it we’ve most likely had it. I’ll make sure your animals are loved for and have a blast while you’re gone. I can work with young puppies and senior dogs as well. Please reach out to me to inquire about availability and to set up a meet and greet. I will also send lots of pictures and updates. I currently have availability from Friday to Sunday. I can be available by Friday afternoons if given at least a weeks notice and can stay until Sunday night or early Monday morning. I currently have two cats and a dog. Nani is my dog and she has a fence for the backyard but I can also take her out for walks or out on a leash if needed. I feed her once a day with dry and wet food. I also give her baths and clean up her poop in the yard. The two cats are indoor cats and I play with them, clean their litter boxes, change their water, and feed them.
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!
“Marian is super knowledgeable and comforting. It was our first time using rover and she put us at ease. Our cat is pretty low maintenance but it just made us feel better having her pop by for a quick visit and a refresh. Thanks Marian!”
About: My name is Christian. I am kind, gentle, and fun loving. I will walk, run, exercise, and play fetch with your dog and care for him/her as if he/she were one of my own. I will walk any dog, any size, age, or breed. I’ve always enjoyed dogs a lot. Your dogs will have such a fun time they won’t want to leave. I am available seven days a week rain or shine and my hours are flexible. No matter what, you can count on me to walk your dog. If you require any special requests just let me know and I will see what I can do. If you need your pet washed I can do that too. I look forward to walking your dog!
About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.
About: Hi there! I've taken care of friend's and family dogs and had my own dogs for over 20 years. Fortunately, I work from home. That, and my long pet siting experience prompted me to extend my services to others and create this profile. I live in a single house with a sweetest cat ever and 10 years old mellow bichon. My house has a fully fenced yard in is located in a very dog friendly neighborhood. Your dog will have constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of supervision. My home is best suited for small to medium dogs, as my furry boy naturally prefers companions who are his own size or smaller. I can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home! I am working from home and able to provide frequent potty breaks and constant attention during the day and after work. I can easily adjust to your pets needs. I have a large fenced in yard. I also like to walk my dogs in the neighborhood or Pennypack trail. I live 5 minutes away from Lorimer park trail.
“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 keep a good balance between walk time and sniff time, I always make sure they at least go pee before we finish our walk! I’m currently overnight sitting a cat but I am around between 9am and 5pm! I can also do before 8:30am or after 5:30pm if needed I make sure to assess the personality of the friend I am meeting, and do whatever is needed to make sure they’re good for the day
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.
“Heather is the only person we trust to watch our anxious and somewhat difficult cat. She is the only other human he likes besides us, and that is saying a lot! Would recommend 100%.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
Allie was amazing with our 9 year old dog!!! We always get a little nervous having a new sitter watch our 95 lbs American bulldog mix since he can be a handful at times, but once they met we knew he’d be in good hands. Allie was communicative, gave lots of photos and updates, and followed our instructions with ease!! Will definitely be reaching out again for future visits :)
Tiffany’s very caring. I’m handicapped with a spinal cord injury. I needed someone’s help to take care of my puppy, and take him on walks. She helped to make sure, my puppy had clean puppy pads/water/food/attention. She was such a wonderful person to work with. Absolutely!!👍🏻 I recommend Tiffany to everyone!!! You won’t be disappointed at all. Thank you, again for everything 🙏🏻♾️ Rating: 6 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lia was wonderful!! I’ve never used Rover before and I’m grateful she made it an awesome first experience. She initiated a meet and greet before our trip which made it super easy to get her a key and show her through everything she needed to know to watch after the cats. While we were away, she proactively sent lots of pictures and updates which I loved. She also quickly responded to any questions or requests I had. On top of taking great care of the cats, she even watered our plant. I could tell through the pictures just how comfortable the cats were with her which gave me peace of mind while being away. Overall, 10/10 and we are so glad we had Lia looking after Pepper and Periwinkle!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Abington is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $34 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 October 2026, there are 9,598 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
