About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m also a critical care nurse with five years of experience, so I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling medications, special instructions, and unexpected situations with a calm, caring approach. I have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, compassion, and personalized care are. Since my senior pup can no longer enjoy long walks, I’d love to give your dog the exercise and adventure they deserve! Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll stick to their routine, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, and send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. As a critical care nurse, my schedule varies, but I know it well in advance and keep my availability updated. On my days off, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet, whether that means long walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a critical care nurse with five years of experience, I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and comfortable following medication schedules and special care instructions. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own senior dog, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or elderly, I’ll treat them like family by following their routine, keeping them safe on walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs my entire life; mainly German shepherds. In my adult life, I have rescued Pitbulls. I am capable of feeding, letting out/walking, playing with, sitting, and giving medicine to, if necessary. I learned to give fluids through IV under the skin to one of my pitbulls who was in kidney failure at the end of her life a few years ago. I am currently working part-time, which I am planning on giving up once I have enough clientele so that I can do what I really love to do. I will come to your home and take care of your pet there so that they are as comfortable as possible with someone new in their surroundings.
“We can’t say enough good things about Amber! She is absolutely amazing, and thanks to her, we never have to worry about our cats when we’re away. She’s not only reliable and professional but also genuinely caring and attentive to our cats’ needs. Every time we come home, they’re happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Peggy is really nice with my cat. She is taking care of my baby really good. Really responsible and caring person. I was worried a lot while I was leaving but know I know that my cat is safe and in a good hands.”
About: Hi everyone, I’ve owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I would consider it a privilege to take care of yours!!! Thank You I’ve been a school teacher for 30 years. I’m retiring in the next couple of years. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life by fulfilling another passion of mine, taking care of dogs. I’ve always loved dogs. I will give love and attention to your dog as if your dog were my own. My life would not be complete without a dog. I’m fully available to walk your dog and drop-in sitting at your house. I’m a school teacher, off for the summer and on Sabbatical for the next school year. Safety, love, and attention for others pets are my top priorities. I think about how I would want my precious Cooper cared for by others, therefore, your dog will receive my full attention. I’m currently on Sabbatical, (I’m a school teacher.) therefore, I have the flexibility to accommodate any potential clients schedule. I travel back and forth between our home in PA and FL. I treat any pet in our home as if it is our own. The dogs I’ve cared for in our feel comfortable because of the interaction between my husband, my son, and myself. We thoroughly enjoy dogs in our home and so does Cooper, our 5 year old dog.
“Samantha was wonderful..she did her best with our yorkie who has separation anxiety. She came over twice to go over last minute things with us. And cleaning 5 litter boxes for our four cats. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I have cared for family and friends pets since I was 14 years old. Combined with my love for animals and attention to detail, my skill set has helped to create a special experience for each pets needs. From energetic dogs needing more patience and structure to senior pets who need a little more tend love and care! I am currently working full-time, 7am-2:30pm (M-F). However, on weekends and afternoons I am free to devote my time to caring for your pets. I don't work summers which allows me the flexibility to provide the best care needed to each of your fur pups. When caring for my own and other pets safety and trust is a top priority. Each pet is different however I still make it my business to make sure pets and parents of pets feel comfortable by catering to their specific needs in and out of my home. In my own home, I make sure the environment is free from anything that can be toxic to animals such as exposed wire, toxic plants, or foods. I maintain consistency with pet schedules to ensure each animal feels comfortable. I have a large backyard that is partially fenced in so pets can get regular exercise. I also have one mini poodle that goes by Karter, if it meets the pets needs Karter is great company to keep to promote interaction and stimulation throughout the day.
“Kerri and Harry are absolutely wonderful! Our babies are in great hands. We have a very shy kitty and they always go the extra mile to make sure she's well taken care of.”

I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate your pet if needed. My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park and lots of areas for walking.
“Laura was quick to respond to a last minute booking. Communicated well before and during her visit. Sent pictures and I knew our dog was in great hands. Spent time playing with our dog and helping to keep him entertained while my husband and I were out. I have 0 complaints and felt 100% comfortable! Would definitely recommend hiring Laura for your pet needs”

About: Hello pet parents! I'm Danni and I absolutely love everything about dogs. They're so cute, sweet and playful! I've had a dog all my life until recently (apartment restrictions) and they have been various sizes and breeds. I have also been a dog walker and sitter for a company that gave me experience handling and interacting with shelter and elderly dogs; I also have experience giving oral tablet medication at specified times. I understand that not every dog has come from a happy home and I will put an effort into earning their trust (I've done so with two shelter dogs with severe anxiety and I love them) because I know that it will mean so much in the long run. Other than long walks on sunny days, I love playing with your pup's favorite toy and fetch is my favorite game. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

“From the first visit to the last set of photos, Tina has been absolutely amazing. This was the first time I’d been away from the cats for more than two days, so I was a bit worried. The first pictures Tina sent were her and the cats playing/nuzzling. I was able to rest easy, knowing that I’d get my daily pictures, and that the kitties were happy. I will be using her again next time I go on vacation.”

Isabelle is excellent. She was on time for our meet and greet and for all drop-in visits. Isabelle took terrific care of Sadie and is an excellent communicator. This was my first time with Isabelle and I am hoping she will be available in the future to watch Sadie. I highly recommend Isabelle.
Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was caring, responsible, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was very dependable and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. I truly appreciated the attention and care she gave them and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I would absolutely use her again! Thanks so much Amber

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 Bensalem 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.
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 Bensalem. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
