“Thank you to Jaclyn for taking the last minute booking. We really appreciate her and the great care that she took of our Bunny & Howie and our home. Jaclyn sent us updates and photos which we love to see while we are away. We will absolutely book Jaclyn again. :)”
“Courtney was phenomenal! She took great care of your pets, went the extra mile to care for our space, and provided consistent and clear communication. It was so evident that she deeply cares about our pets and wanted to ensure that our family had a relaxed, positive time while we were away. Thank you, Courtney!”
About: Hi! My name is Emily! I’m 21 and have been dog sitting/walking on and off for about 6 years. I’ve always had a deep love for all animals. I’m well versed on animal behavior, and know how to read dog’s emotional cues very well. I love to get out and be active so why not do it with a little friend by my side! I would love to spend time with your pet no matter the size, breed, or age:) I’m currently available all day Monday, all day Tuesday, Wednesdays after 3pm, Thursdays until 5pm, all day Friday, and Sunday after 3pm! I also have my own dog at home who needs to be taken care of and I work part time! If i’m chosen to take care of your pet while you are away, I will ensure they get lots of love and attention. Every rule I am given will be followed to a T.
“Christina was amazing! We’d hire her again or recommend to anyone. She was very diligent and thoughtful in her updates after each visit which was much appreciated. She also came by before we left town to meet the cats and do a walk-thru of their routine. Overall great experience while we were away!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where we always had at least 2 dogs, and I now have a cat of my own, Colby, who I am in LOVE with. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know their different personalities. I’ve regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ cats and dogs throughout my life, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, walks, playtime, and of course caring for every animal with love and care. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable that your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal I care for like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe and loved! I am between jobs at the moment, so I have full availability! Until I find a full time position, I’m free to care for your pet on any day, at any time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their usual routines so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet might need. I also understand that every animal has their own personality, so I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. I’m also respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure everything is left clean and tidy. I’d love to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Both you and your pet feeling comfortable is the ultimate priority!
“Everything seems to have gone great! She is on time and takes him for a walk each time and gives him love when I am not there. I love the pics I get each time.”
“My dog was well cared for and happy during the drop-in. Everything was done as instructed, and the sitter even went beyond expectations to ensure my pup was comfortable and content. Highly recommend!”
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“Barb is the greatest and the best! We are always happy when she has an opening for us. The dog is calm and relaxed, and we get to see the walks she took while we were gone! Barb is flexible and patient with the dog and with us. Thanks, Barb!”
“After my roommate mistakenly locked the doors, Victoria went above and beyond by climbing through a window in order to feed and take my pup out while I was away on vacation. Taz got along well with her during a meet and he was his typical goofy self in the pictures she sent. Def will be requesting her again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“We highly recommend Mary Rose. We have a senior cat with hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disorder, and asthma, so getting his medication right is extremely important. She handled his care with no problems at all and followed his medical routine with confidence and precision. Our cat is also quite shy with new people, but she was able to build a connection with him. We received plenty of photos showing him enjoying petting and grooming time, which was very reassuring while we were away. She also provided detailed daily reports that truly put our minds at ease. It is clear she has both a deep love for animals and strong knowledge of their care. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”
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.
“Joy was very responsible and kept me updated with lots of pics & videos. She always made sure my cats were well taken care of and would often stay a little longer to play with them and give them some extra attention. I really appreciated how caring and reliable she was and would definitely book her again!”
About: I’m not sure yet as this will be my first time doing this type of work so hopefully I will get to learn what sets me apart from other sitters by doing this I’m currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to take your pup on walks everyday from 10 through 3 I don’t own any pets unfortunately but if I did I would make sure to keep anything that would get them hurt or sick away from them
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Cheltenham is $20

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 :)
Amanda is so great with animals. We have an extremely anxious cat that most other sitters never see, but came out for pets with her! Had she not taken pictures of the event, we probably wouldn't have believed it happened. She's responsible and accountable and we will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
JJ is trustworthy, reliable, and took excellent care of my two kitties while I was away for almost two weeks. She dropped in every day to ensure they had their daily wet food, scooped their litter, and kept sufficient dry kibble and water available to them. My home was kept neat and clean, and she brought in my mail each day. Most importantly, she is an animal lover herself so my boys had playtime on the sunny enclosed porch - their favorite space - and affection! My experience with JJ was very positive. She is a genuinely nice person and I will definitely use her services again whenever I travel. Thanks, JJ!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cheltenham is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 9,479 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cheltenham. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cheltenham. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
