About: I have been taken care of dogs for five years for family and friends. I have been told that my furry friends love having me as their sitter or and walker. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have lots of time to sit your furry pets. To also show all the love and care they need. I live in a house. I would walk your furry pets around the neighborhood. They would have full range of the house. I can not wait to board your furry pets.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I offer help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, litter box and potty care, crate routines, and giving basic medications when needed. I also work on reinforcing training cues so pets can stay consistent with whatever structure they already have at home. I’m very attentive and patient, and I pay close attention to animal body language so I can understand how each pet is feeling and what they need. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, or routine focused pets who do best with calm energy and a steady, reassuring presence. I am available for pet care throughout the day depending on scheduling needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can be flexible and adjust my time to make sure pets are getting regular attention, exercise, and companionship. No matter the situation, I make sure pet care is something I can fully show up for and prioritize. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as consistent weekly schedules or occasional last-minute needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a clean, calm environment. In clients’ homes, I respect routines and spaces while ensuring pets are supervised, comfortable, and stress-free. I stay alert on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate promptly if anything seems off.

About: I have worked with puppies, senior dogs and in between. Training experience with multiple breeds and will love them as if were my own. Available for any animal, not limited to dogs. I am typically available by appointment as I have a very flexible, work from home career. Occasionally I am free immediately, no harm in asking. I am versatile with any upbringing strategy the owner prefers. If there are specific rules or training methods they are working toward, I will help cross the finish line. If they just want someone to keep their best friend happy and safe, I can do that too.

About: I know when a dog is anxious or needs attention. Previously working at a Canine Club has made me understand dogs more especially with watching multiple at once. I handle big and small dogs and have excelled immensely with this job. I am a full-time student at WCU. I will stay with the dog as long as I can and can make frequent visits if need be. I will always have my eyes on the dog at all times whilst giving endless amount of attention and love. If there is a gated area provided, and is a nice day out, I would mainly spend most of my visit outside to get the dog fresh air and some room to run around.

About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.

“Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. Nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with a pet. If the owner can't be around once in a while there is no need for the dog to be lonely. That is why I make the perfect dog sitter, I treat each dog like my very own pet. I care for them and their individual needs the way I would hope someone would care for my dog if I weren't around. My profession includes making my own schedule which allows me the flexibility to care for pets in their owners absence. I try to keep my radius small so that I can stop by every couple of hours for a potty break and some time outside or for some snuggles. I have a dog and cat of my own and take their care very seriously. Both get an abundance of love and snuggles. Our dog goes out multiple times a day- while we don't have a fenced in yard we do have a lot of space and availability for walks at the park a block away.

About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.

About: Hi there! I’m Mara, a loving, caring, and responsible pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs. Growing up with my two beloved pups, Bodoque (dad) and Junior (son) both being Maltese-French Poodle mix, I learned how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. I am bilingual (Spanish) and eager to accommodate pets of various ages and mobility. That’s why I’m saving up to become a certified Pet Communicator! Yes, you read that right—speaking with your furry baby to understand their needs and feelings even better. Your trust helps to deepen this connection and make this dream a reality.! Why Choose Me? I genuinely LOVE dogs, all kinds! Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s medication, extra attention, or just some tender loving care. My goal is to make sure your furry baby feels at home, safe, and happy while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. My husband and I recently lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Meatball, in 2022. He was 16 years old and the heart of our home. Although we miss him dearly, we have so much love to give. Think of us as the cool aunt and uncle who adore spending time with your pets! Beyond pet sitting, I aim to build a deep connection with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved during their stay. Your Pet’s care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love starting my mornings with a walk, which is the ideal time to take your furry baby out, especially before it gets too hot. If I know a pet is coming, I plan my day around their needs—whether it's scheduling walks, giving them their medicine, or just spending quality time together. And if I have to step out, my husband is always here to make sure your pet is cared for. When caring for your furry baby in our home, we treat them with the routine and love present on their own. My husband and I create a relaxed, loving environment where your pet is free to be themselves. Whether they prefer lounging on the couch, sleeping in bed with us, or sticking to a specific routine, we accommodate their needs to make sure they feel safe and at home. We're easy-going and flexible, and we even enjoy teaching new tricks! Your pet's happiness, wellness, and comfort are our top priority.

About: I grew up around animals and have had several dogs myself, so I know how l'd like my dog treated as a pet owner. I regularly take care of family and friends' dogs when they're away and have gotten along with pretty much any dog l've ever met. I am currently not working a full time job and have most days available including weekend days. I can match my schedule to your pet care needs. After greeting your dog and either running around the backyard or getting in a good walk to tucker them out, I'll make sure they have all the food, water, and pets they need while you're away

About: As the proud owner of a Chihuahua and Shiba Inu mix, I have a deep appreciation for canine boundaries and body language! My own dog prefers his personal space and isn't a fan of meeting new dogs or people, which has taught me how to be a strong advocate for a pup's comfort and safety in public. Because of this, I am highly attentive to subtle stress signals and always let new furry friends warm up to me entirely at their own pace. I never force interaction. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or a sensitive soul who needs someone to respect their boundaries and advocate for them on walks, I will ensure they feel safe, respected, and completely understood. I juggle part-time work and veterinary assistant studies, which actually leaves my schedule wide open and flexible to care for your dog! This makes me highly available for mid-day potty breaks, weekday walks, and open to last-minute booking requests. I am easily available for dedicated overnight house-sitting and extended daytime companionship. I offer a low-stress, highly secure environment where your dog's well-being comes first. My home features a fully fenced-in backyard for safe exercise and built-in entertainment like bird and squirrel watching. When house-sitting, I maintain your dog's exact routine in the comfort of their own environment. I follow strict supervision and home security protocols, keep you updated with daily photos, and ensure your house is left perfectly clean.

“Audrey made our first experience with Rover so great. We got into a last minute pinch for our vacation she responded quickly was very flexible to meet up. She let Adam out each morning for us and provided in detail how his morning was. I’m so grateful for her answering all my first time questions and taking such great care of Sam for the week for me. We would love to use her again in the future.”

Callie was so kind and so accommodating!! My husband and I booked her last minute to watch our pets while we were at our wedding, and she was so kind and flexible with our last minute request. She also took her time to make sure our dog, Maddie, was comfortable with her being in our home, which we really appreciated, because our dog can be a little nervous when meeting new people. She also was great with her updates of our pets and was super communicative!! We would definitely recommend Callie to anyone!! We will definitely be booking with her again!!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Breanna! She has known Harper since we moved to Media three years ago, and over that time, she has become such a constant, caring presence in our lives. She has followed us through one house move and even two pregnancies, always showing Harper the same incredible level of love and attention. Breanna goes so far above and beyond what you could ever expect from a dog walker. Her updates and notes show just how closely she pays attention to Harper and how genuinely invested she is in her well-being. We always feel completely confident knowing Harper is in her care. And somehow, she manages to make our lives a little easier, too. She’ll bring in our mail and packages, and on more than one occasion, she’s even put away a loaf of bread I accidentally left sitting on the counter after a hectic morning with my two boys. Breanna is reliable, kind, attentive, trustworthy, and truly treats Harper like her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with their whole heart. Harper absolutely adores her, and so do we!

Destinee was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met her, we knew our dogs were in great hands. She was warm, personable, and truly treated our pets like her own. While we were out of town, she went above and beyond—daily check-ins, thoughtful updates, and the sweetest photos that made us feel connected even from miles away. Our dogs adored her, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave them. She was also extremely respectful of our home, leaving everything just as we left it. That level of professionalism combined with genuine love for animals is rare, and Destinee exceeded every expectation. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. It’s such a relief to know someone like Destinee can care for our pets so well when we’re away. She truly went way over and above!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Collingdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Collingdale is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $18 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 November 2026, there are 9,124 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Collingdale. 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.

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 Collingdale 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.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Collingdale. On Rover:

  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
