About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
“Yuliia was so communicative, respectful, and reliable! She took the best pictures of my cat and it was wonderful knowing she was in good hands while I was away. She took time to play with my cat and brought out her toys and it made my cat very happy. I highly recommend her!”
“Second time Amanda has watched our dog and cats. She take such great care of our menagerie. She gives thorough updates, first and and beyond and just generally loves pets. Will 100% engage her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for over 10 years my family friends and neighbors rely on me to care for their animals when they're gone to drop by even if it's just to keep them company and check on them these animals are my babies I believe that animals are Soul too or not just animals I'm currently looking for part-time and some weekends I'm usually available every other day after 2:00 p.m. if I don't have a doctor's appointment or something like that my schedule is very flexible but I need 24 hours notice if I'm going to do a sit Well I live in my apartment with my cat Sophie we have a routine every morning she gets her treats interaction she gets brushed and then I have my morning routine I won't be taking any pets into my home because Sophie is just not used to that so I would have to drop into your home or spend the day or whatever you and I agree upon
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.
“Shelby took great care of my two kitties, administered medication, and provided great reports and photos. Look forward to having her take care of them again!”
“Amazing. I feel less stressed booking future trips knowing I can count on Kaliah to take thoughtful care of my very anxious cats. Both cats took to her right away and that is not usual for either of them. She did a wonderful job. I’m so grateful!”

“Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!”
“Daniel was super thoughtful and a great pet sitter for my cat Roy. Roy fell in love with him immediately, and I received lots of updates and pictures throughout. I'll happily rebook!”
“Danielle did a great job taking care of my cat! She is very responsive to messages and always made sure to send me updates and pictures at each visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for cat care!”
About: I have taken care of all my dogs throughout the years since I was 13 years old. I currently have two dogs that I feed breakfast and dinner and play with. I have some experience taking care of fancy rats and cats. I'm currently working full-time at an elementary school cafeteria. I'm free weekdays after 3 PM and the weekends are open. I will be free all hours of the day after mid-June until the beginning of September. I have a fenced in backyard and have two small dogs. I feed my dogs breakfast and dinner and play with them. Throughout the years I have taken a more active approach to keeping my dogs healthy.
“Harrison watched my puppy over the course of 3 drop ins. He communicated every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure my Rikku was okay. He responded to all my requests and was extremely helpful. I plan to book him again in the near future.”
About: I have been an animal advocate since I was volunteering at the PSPCA during my childhood. I’m a former Humane Police Officer in Philadelphia. I’m a very experienced with pretty much any animal. Friendly and caring. I’m currently on medical disability and have a pretty flexible schedule minus a few appointments here and there. I am trying to get some part time gigs. I current have a cat of my own, a foster cat and 7 fish tanks. I’m highly experienced in animal care and husbandry. I have much passion, care and respect for animals. I take pride for the hundreds of all kinds of animals I rescued.
About: I’ve always been good with dogs. I watch the dogs for my family and friends. I can train if you would like, but I take very good care of the dogs and make sure that they have everything they need. I have just finished college. I am free most of the time and looking to help with any of your pets needs. My schedule will fit around the pet care. I take them for walks around the neighborhood and or to the dog park. I can put them in a crate if needed but most likely won’t be needed. They have space to roam around the house and if they are dog friendly, I have others dog that they can mingle with.
“Alyssa was amazing. I can’t wait to recommend her to all my family and friends who live in Fox Chase. Alyssa cared about my dogs, if they were eating their food, and she even went above and beyond and watered my flowers! She won over my grumpy dog and we will absolutely be using her services again. Seriously, a good gem of a dog sitter in Fox Chase!”

Marilyn was willing to jump in even tho it was a last minute booking for a family emergency. I would not have been able to go to my sick mother's bedside had it not been for Marilyn. Im so grateful for her, and she's always punctual, and professional. I know my pets are in good hands and that's one less thing for me to worry about while i'm away. I definitely recommend her.
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!
Amanda was extremely conscientious and responsible taking care of my energetic dog while I was away! I could see how happy Oreo was to spend time with her with both walks and lots of cuddles from the great photos she took. Plus, Amanda really took the time pre-visit to make sure she understood Oreo's diet and personality. All round a great experience -- thank you!
I had the most lovely experience using Chelsea to take care of my senior girl! Chelsea is the sweetest and kindest Rover person I've ever used. She followed my lengthy instructions and took such great care of my Bella. No surprise she has a Star rating! I'll definitely be using her again!!

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 Cheltenham 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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Cheltenham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
