About: I have taken care of dogs a lot throughout my life. I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood all the time. 4 years ago I got my own puppy and trained him. Now we walk around 5 miles everyday I walk my dog multiple times a day and I love to go on long walks. I have a waitressing job in the summer and I like to spend the rest of my days outside playing with dogs. I care for my puppy so much and I am always playing with him and never leaving him by himself. I make sure that he is always happy and healthy
About: With over 40 years of caring for pets, I bring not only a lifelong love for animals but also knowledge and intuition from decades of hands-on experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home. This allows me the flexibility to give pets the attention they need throughout the day- whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply being present to provide comfort and companionship. My schedule makes it easy to adapt to each pet's routine and ensure they're well cared for at all times. In my home, pets have a safe and comfortable environment to enjoy. I have a fenced yard, which allows them space to play and exercise securely. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection, along with a routine that includes feeding, walks, and playtime.
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s what makes me happiest. I’ve walked, played with, and cared for pups of all sizes, from energetic huskies to tiny yorkies. Every tail wag and belly rub brings me so much joy. When I’m with dogs, I’m truly in my happiest place, and I treat each one like family. I work a 9–5 job Monday through Friday, but caring for dogs is truly the highlight of my day. Before and After work and on weekends, I’m available for walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Spending time with dogs never feels like work—it’s what makes me happiest, and I always make room for it in my routine. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I’ll walk them, feed them, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. Need a bath? I’m happy to help with that too! Your pet’s comfort and joy are always my priority!

My house has a big backyard where your pup can have more play time or relax time. They are never left alone in the backyard, I’m always with them. At bedtime, I generally take them to sleep next to me if they are used to do so but I will follow the owners requirements for that.

“Appreciated the help checking in on our pups with a last-minute booking! Isaiah was patient and understanding with us and our anxious pups while we navigated this first time Rover experience.”
“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.”
“Chelsea took such great care of my kitties! I kind of had a lot of instructions because of one cat’s medical issues and I really appreciate that she left detailed notes about this. She also sent lots of reassuring photos. I feel great knowing my kitties are in good hands with her!”
About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have cared and loved a wide range of dogs. I aided a dog in giving birth and cared for her puppies from birth till adoption. I've trained dogs to be incredible frisbee catchers. I've worked with pregnant dogs, puppies, elderly dogs, tiny and big, hyper and calm. I am a graduate student at Temple University with most weekdays and all weekends free. I enjoy being outside and walking, no matter the weather. I live in an apartment on the second floor, with only a few stairs inside the unit. I am close to Fairmount Park and Schuykill River Trail and several dog parks.
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals including cats, dogs, turtles, mice, guinea pigs, parrots, and fish. Today, I am a proud pet parent to three furry babies of my own: two cats and one anxious ChiPoo rescue. Raising an anxious pup has taught me how to provide the patient, gentle care that sensitive pets need to feel safe. Over the years, I have cared for many neighborhood and family pets. This includes hands-on experience with administering medication, maintaining strict walking routines, and carefully managing animals that don't get along with others. I am dedicated to giving your pets all the love they deserve while strictly respecting their unique boundaries and routines I'm currently in between jobs and schooling. My availabity is very open on weekdays and varies on weekends. Mostly in the Manayunk-Roxborough larger area, but willing to travel further for longer commitments. I provide reliable, patient supervision tailored directly to your pet’s unique medical or routine requirements. Whether managing active play or comforting an anxious pet, safety and trust are always my main focus.
“Ayo was great once again! I can tell that my cat is super comfortable with him and that makes traveling so much smoother. He was just as communicative and helpful as the first booking, so I will definitely continue to book with him and recommend to others as well!”
About: Hi! I’m Fee, and i’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I've worked with many different sizes and breeds of pups during my last four years of professional pet care(Doggie Daycare Manager)and have also encountered many different types of personalities as well. I've worked with both puppies and senior dogs, shy and fearful dogs, and leash aggressive pups. I also have plenty of experience giving medication when needed or following strict dietary guidelines depending on the owners request. I am also in the process of becoming certified in pet nutrition. I have learned many helpful tricks along the way, and I really value the trust I gain in both the dogs I walk and their owners alike. I love being outdoors and can keep up with the high energy pups, but can also take it easy with the smaller and slower pups. I’m always sure to pay close attention to each dogs' individual needs, and I feel that patience is always the key. This is a profession that I'm truly passionate about! I have over six years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including roles as an emergency surgery veterinary assistant, dog walker, pet sitter, and operational manager at a doggie daycare. I’m also trained in CPR/AED and currently studying to become a veterinary nurse, which allows me to approach pet care with both knowledge and compassion. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow their routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. From regular feeding, fresh water, and walks to playtime, cuddles, and any special care instructions, I treat every pet like my own. You can always count on me to provide a safe, loving environment and to keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

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 :)
This was the third time Matthew has cared for Toby, Twix, Tilly, and Tessi, and it was also the longest period I have ever been away from them. Each time, he consistently demonstrates genuine care, patience, and professionalism in handling my dogs and their individual needs. Toby is a special needs dog who requires a belly band, regular cleaning routines, skin care treatments, and close monitoring. In addition, right before my trip, Twix developed ulcers that required medications and eye drops, and Matthew managed his treatments carefully and patiently, even when administering them was difficult. Caring for four dogs is already demanding, but my situation is especially complex. My boys must remain separated due to fighting, the girls can be destructive with bedding, and accidents can happen. Finding someone willing and capable of managing these responsibilities has always been a major concern for me, especially when trying to travel to visit my fiancé. One of the things I appreciate most is the level of communication Matthew provides throughout the stay. He consistently sends updates and photos, and he is very attentive about voicing any concerns regarding my dogs’ health or behavior. That level of detail and attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away and reassured me that my dogs were being carefully monitored and genuinely cared for. Matthew has given me complete confidence and peace of mind every time he watches my dogs. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, reliability, and dedication he provides, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking attentive and trustworthy pet care.
Deresha is great! Feel like I got lucky with her being available. She knows her way around dogs of all breeds and can handle any type trouble your dog may give some one. Trusted her more and more as time went on. You won’t regret hiring Deresha to take care of your little ones, she’s great and is even willing to meet you before you need services to make sure she’s a good fit for your mascots. Deresha is the best!

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.
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 Cheltenham 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 .
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.
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 .
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.
