“Meghan is amazing and all over her time stamps are so detailed, they make me laugh as she describes our pups personalities so well! Thank you as always Meghan, we appreciate you more than you know!”
About: I’ve have dealt with many different animals at a very young age! I have watched animals for my friends and for family members are always happy with the fact they can come home and see their fur babies taken care of! I only work two days a week so my schedule is very open for playing and of taking care of your fur babies while you’re away! I have a fenced in back yard with multiple toys and bowls and bones that a dog could ever think of! I’m also very observant and will be sure nothing happens!
“Cathy could not have been a better sitter. She was communicative, stuck to the routine and went the extra mile for us. I’m so glad I booked her for our weekend travels and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Jennifer was a great babysitter- always filled me in and took the cutest pictures of my cat and hamster. She was reliable and responsive I am definitely going to hire her again for all my trips!”
About: Experienced and compassionate, I am a dedicated animal sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care for pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized skill set, including training puppies and expertise in senior pet care. I excel in establishing a strong foundation for good behavior through puppy training techniques and providing gentle and attentive care for senior animals, managing medications and addressing mobility issues. With a personalized approach, I tailor care routines to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I am skilled in understanding and interpreting animal behavior, enabling effective communication and building trust. With training in pet first aid and CPR, I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety of all animals under my care. I still have school, so it honestly just depends on after 4. After 4 I’m free for the rest if the day, and i need something to do with the rest of my time, and given i have not much better to do i’d prefer to take care and watch over animals! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my home, I provide a designated space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure that this area is clean, secure, and equipped with the necessary essentials such as bedding, toys, and food/water bowls. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule to meet their dietary needs. Exercise and playtime are also integral parts of my care routine, as I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. If caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided, replicating their familiar environment as closely as possible. I make it a point to provide ample affection, attention, and companionship to keep pets happy and emotionally fulfilled during my care sessions. Overall, my approach to pet care revolves around providing a nurturing and loving environment that meets the individual needs of each furry friend.
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
About: I have taken care of pets (dogs and cats) since the age of ten.

I cater each job to fit the needs of the client and pet(s) in the home! I’ll treat your pets as my own and show them all of the love and care they deserve while you’re away!

From walks, to play & cuddle time, to decompression time, I can handle it all and will follow whatever routine you have set in place. Whatever makes you and your pet(s) happy makes me happy!
“Michael is amazing! He goes above and beyond and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with him dropping in a few times a day. I have never left my dog with someone I didn’t know. He sent pictures during all of his visits and even bought my big guy a new toy which has become his favorite! Michael also took my recycling bins out just to be kind. Truly above and beyond. Thank you for giving my family peace of mind knowing our dog was safe and cared for so we could enjoy vacation!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Collingdale
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!
Callie came for a meet and greet. My dog was belly up and waggy very quickly. We decided immediately that we found our sitter. She is bubbly and eager and has good attention to detail. I have a few rules.. they were followed explicitly. We have decided to do weekly drop ins leading up to an overnight. Callie has been here and our pup loved her time with her. I can relax knowing she’s in good hands
Madeline was fantastic for caring for our dog Mason. We had a great meet and greet and she brought treats that Mason instantly fell in love. Madeline provided great progress reports and dropped in on Mason at the scheduled times. We appreciate her care and attention she gave Mason and will book her again!
We are so lucky to have found Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Marnie. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and I could tell she was taking care of our dog like she was her own. She was reliable and I could enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog or my house. Will DEFINITELY be using Rachel to watch Marnie in the future.
Mario has been so amazing since our first meet and greet. He has been taking care of our disabled pup who requires medication. We have been doing reoccurring visits and he always so prompt and communicative and importantly flexible and patience working with our new routine. Highly recommend Mario!
Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.

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 .

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 .
