“We booked twice a day drop in visits with Barb for our two male tabbies while away on a ten day vacation and we couldn’t be more pleased with her care. This is the longest we’ve ever left our boys and from the very first day we felt completely at ease. Barb went so far above and beyond to care for them—giving one of them oral meds at the last minute, preparing treat toys for them at her visits, perfectly following their feeding arrangement and sending tons of sweet photos. She offered to take our trash and recycling out without us asking, collected our mail, watered our plants and made sure that an important package was picked up quickly from our porch. It was such a huge relief to travel without worry knowing our boys were in incredible hands and we’ve already booked with Barb for two more of our summer getaways. Highly recommend choosing her to look after your fur babies!”
“Paz did a great job. She pays very close attention to detail, even going so far as to take lots of notes during our meet and greet. My dog is reactive so needs special care around other dogs. Paz followed my directions and safely navigated around the problems. She was also willing to take care of my dog despite having a sudden bout of diarrhea that started the day before her visit. Lots of pictures and excellent communication.”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking 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.”
“Kristin provided great care for our cat while we were on vacation. She sent detailed updates and daily photos. Besides feeding and cleaning his litter, Kristin showed him great affection which was very comforting. I would not hesitate to have her care for our cat again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families animals for about three years now. I’ve dealt with puppy dogs to senior dogs, crazy kittens to calm cats. I love animals and truly see them as a part of the family! 💜 I am super flexible when it comes to my daily schedule. I have been doing pet care independently and decided to rover a shot ! Communication is super important to me, if the pet needs any specific foods, medications, or walking instructions I would contact the owner beforehand to make sure the pet is receiving the best care possible. Or if the client left a note with specific instructions.
“Caroline is a loving and professional sitter. Kit can be shy but she came right out for Caroline and gave all the love. Caroline left a thorough note about Kit and sent lovely pictures. I would hire her again and again.”
“Olga took such wonderful care of my boys (and me!). I always worry when I travel, but I got plenty of pictures every day of my kitties eating and playing. I came home to 2 content cats and a clean litter box. My older boy requires daily oral medication, which Olga was able to give despite his protest. Will DEFINITELY call upon Olga 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!”
“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!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care she provided to our cats. Kia's dedication and attention to detail truly set her apart, making our vacation worry-free and our cats content. She was punctual, provided daily correspondence and photos, and established a routine for our pets, minimizing any stress they might have experienced due to our absence. Kia demonstrated a genuine love for animals, evident in the exceptional care she provided. From cleaning the litter box to ensuring they were well-fed, she went above and beyond to meet our cats' needs. One particularly noteworthy aspect of Kia's service was her willingness to tackle unexpected challenges. Unfortunately, one of our cats had an upset stomach during our absence, leading to an unpleasant mess. Not only did Kia clean up the mess promptly, but she also ensured that the affected area was thoroughly sanitized, leaving our home as clean as she found it. Communication was also a strong point in Kia's service. She kept us informed about each visit, providing updates on our cats' behavior and well-being. This thoughtful gesture helped ease any concerns we had about being so far away from our beloved pets. In concluiosn, Kia's cat sitting services exceeded our expectations. Her reliability, genuine care, and ability to handle unforeseen circumstances make her a top-notch choice for anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kia to anyone looking for a responsible and caring individual to look after their furry friends. Our cats were in good hands, and we are grateful for the peace of mind she provided during our time away.”
“Zenith has been wonderful to work with - she is friendly, takes great care of my pets, and is overall an amazing sitter! She is very communicative when watching over my cats, and lets me know if any issues arise during her visits. I would 100% recommend her to watch your pets.”
“Chelsea and John are the best! They've been dropping in on my Golden Retriever for a few months now and he absolutely loves them. They send lots of pictures and communicate very well during visits. If I could give more than five stars I would!”
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.

I currently train athletes and coach, so my time right now is pretty open during the normal work hours. My mornings and afternoons are free I am a very respectful and responsible person and I will respect your home and animals. Nothing that is not supposed to be tampered with, will not
About: Lil dogs to big dogs or cats can't forget our fury felines. I have lots of love to give the animals I'm currently looking to get a dog. I might not have to if i enjoy taking care of your pets. I'm patient with animals and people that says alot but I'm loving and caring. That comes naturally. Right now I want to share my joy with your pets. I went to an agricultural school and gained experience caring for ferrets, sheeps, horses and cows etc. I grew up with dogs in my household and learning the responsibilities of providing for dogs. I'm comfortable with animals and I'm confident I can provide the safety and security to fit your pets temperament. I'm looking forward yay!
About: My experience with dogs ranges from senior dogs, to big, rambunctious puppies and everything in between! I've never had my own cat but have many years of experience caring for others' felines. Whether you want someone to take your pup out and tire them out, or someone to snuggle your cat while you're away, I will love on them until you come back! Your pets will be in good hands with me; expect photos of our adventures! Even if it's a drop in, I'll be sure to keep you updated on anything adorable or out-of-the-ordinary. You can have piece of mind while you're away knowing that your dog is living their best life. I’m currently only taking drop in cat visits that can fit around my 40hr work week at the moment. My weekends are usually flexible, and I’m more than willing to try to work with the schedule you need on a case by case basis! I cannot offer board for pets in my current home. I will follow your wishes when caring for your pet. I will not leave your pet unsupervised outside, even in a fenced in yard. I know how fun and reassuring it is to get photos and updates, so I will make sure to send at least one daily if you are away overnight. I will make sure to communicate any concerns (injuries, unusual behavior, incidents) as they come up.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Collingdale
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and caring with both our dog and cats. She followed our instructions perfectly, arrived exactly when requested, and did an excellent job taking care of all our pets. Rachel was dependable, punctual, respectful, and genuinely kind to our animals. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. We will absolutely use her again!
Our usual pet sitter fell through at the last minute before a trip so I needed to book someone on late notice. Evelyn was incredibly responsive and accommodating and even made time to do a quick meet and greet before we left for the trip. She was extremely kind and sent us some incredibly cute pics for cat updates! She was excellent and would absolutely work with her again. Thank you Evelyn for taking such great care of our cats!
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!!
Heather was absolutely amazing! We felt completely at ease traveling knowing our cat was in such great hands. The visit update/report was detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring. On top of that, Heather even helped brining in our mails and packages. We could not have asked for better and will definitely rebook in the future!
Jacqueline went above and beyond for taking care my cats while I am gone. She did everything thing I asked for and beyond, even took out the pxxp bags or helped me look around for my cat's medication when i forgot where I kept. She truly care my pets as her own. I'll definitely book with her.
Tamika is a fantastic cat sitter! She does a great job with our cat and I always feel comfortable when I know Tamika is watching her. She also helped us out this time by doing extra things such as picking up packages that were delivered. She’s always communicative and we appreciate all she does to respect our home and take great care of our cat.
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!
Olga did an amazing job with our kitties while we were on vacation! We came back to the litter boxes spotless and two happy and healthy furry friends. There was even a minor logistical issue that came up during her time here that Olga quickly found a solution for on her own and dealt with so we didn't have to worry a bit. I will definitely book Olga next time we're out of town!
Robyn is an absolute delight to us! She takes her job even more seriously than I could expect, and goes above and beyond in all ways. She is so good at caring for all our pets, kitty, toad, and turtle. Then she gives corn to the deer that come through our property! She follows every instruction perfectly, and is extra conscientious. We are so happy to have her help us when we are away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Collingdale is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 November 2026, there are 9,471 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Collingdale. 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
