“Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.”
“Amanda has cared for our 13yo senior dog twice now, latest being a period of 10 days. We have been impressed by the thorough and thoughtful visit check-ins, and the daily bonding with Rufio. The biggest testimony of Amanda kindness is Rufio's tail wag when he sees her! Thank you again”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. They were happy with her for every visit and always gave me updates, she seems to take great care for both of them and I would love to make her my cat sitter again!”

“Christina was very responsible & showed up exactly when supposed to. She gave my kitty lots of love. Christina sent me many updates & pics & i knew Jazz was in good hands.”
About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your animals. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. As a medical student, I’m responsible, attentive to detail, and comfortable following specific instructions and routines. I’m also a pet owner myself, so I know how much peace of mind good communication and regular updates can provide. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and care that I give my own. As a medical student, my schedule varies week to week, which gives me flexibility for pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine and will always be upfront about my availability. I especially enjoy spending my free time with animals, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and company while you’re away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow feeding, medication, litter box, walking, and other care instructions closely and pay attention to changes in behavior or routine. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I grew up caring for my now elderly Shih Tzu, Sadie and my King Charles Cavalier Odie ❤️ I was TOP dog walker in my neighborhood lol Now I live in Philly with my cat Noodle 🍝 I work a very flexible schedule so I am available weekdays and weekends, morning through evening! If there are time complications with my schedule I am happy to discuss alternative visiting hours. I have a fenced yard with lots of grass! My cat Noodle is very friendly with other animals, and my girlfriend and I are avid animal lovers!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always been something that comes naturally to me! I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s playing, going for walks, giving them lots of attention, or just keeping them company. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same love and care I’d give my own! I am a current physician assistant student so on the weekdays I am free after 4 and I am free all day on then weekends! I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles! I’m also respectful of the client’s home and make sure everything is clean and cared for before I leave. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own!
“Elizabeth was fantastic with my two cats, Roxie and Stormie! She was so patient with our skittish girl, Stormie, and still gave plenty of love and attention to Roxie. I will definitely be booking her for future visits!”

“Emily is so great with our cat. She sent so many pictures and updates every day and even brought our trash can in for us. It’s our second time booking with Emily and it makes our trips so much less stressful to know our cat is in good hands.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, especially dogs. My family has always loved and cared for them deeply, and being around dogs has always felt natural to me. I carry that same love in my heart, every dog deserves kindness, respect, and a life full of love. They give nothing but adoration, and I want to reflect that back to them. What I enjoy most is seeing each dog’s unique personality and getting to connect with them in their own special way. Spending time with dogs is always exciting, comforting, and genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I have online classes from 6–9 p.m., so I have plenty of time during the day and on weekends to care for your pets! Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to their routine. Your pets will always get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. My home is calm, safe, and full of love for animals. I always take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so they feel relaxed and cared for. I’m experienced with senior pets and medications, and I make sure every animal, whether shy or social, feels secure, respected, and happy in my care.
“We are thrilled to have found Lauren to watch our kitty when we’re away for work trips and vacation. She came over to meet our cat before we booked a two-week care visit with her, a small gesture that we really appreciated. The 100+ 5-star reviews coupled with her warm personality made it incredibly easy to move forward with her as our new cat sitter. My husband and I appreciated the daily updates and photos of our sweet gal. Lauren also kept the ‘cat apartment’ cleans and even helped our cat find her favorite toy she would hide under the couch. Your pet is in excellent hands with Lauren and we cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I’m a dog mom of two - that don’t like other dogs/kids, so I have experience with challenging walks. They live with their grandparents for now, so I have a lots of love, and care to give :) I work pm (3-11:30pm) shifts in center city with random days off, so I’m mostly available in mornings/overnights or certain full days when I have off. My apartment complex has a great green area around the building where I can walk my babies when they visit me. They are allowed on the bed/couch, but they like to sunbath on the fluffy carpet as well. They have a separate area in the dining room so they have space to eat peacefully. My little one also likes to hide with his treats, especially under the bed or table:) I make sure they get enough walks, even when their stomach is bad in the middle of the night. I also like to take them to the Wissahickon park, they love car rides. I would make sure other babies feel comfortable just like mines / or to create a safe and comfortable environment with lots of attention.
“Sueann was wonderful checking in on our young cat and gave him the play time and attention he needed. She took good care of the litter. She fed him wet food and even cleaned the wet food dishes which was above an beyond. Thanks!”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
“Alexis is a fantastic sitter! Checked in regularly with lots of pictures and details of my fur babies’ visits. The pups were relaxed when we returned. Already booked Alexis for our next trip. 10/10 recommend”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bala-Cynwyd
Joy was amazing. My baby loves Joy so much even though she doesn’t usually take kindly to strangers. When they did their meet and greet, it only took a sniff for Nova to know that Joy is the one she wants to be friends with. I love the fact that Joy was very informative and calming. Nova and I just moved to the area so it’s been taking a little adjusting to say the least. But Joy made it seem as if Nova and I were living in the area for years. I am definitely booking with Joy soon. I’m so excited. Thank you so much, Joy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
