About: For the past 10 years, I’ve taken care of not only my family dogs, but my neighbors’ cats and dogs. Most pets tend to take a liking to me from the start, which makes this less of a job and more of something that I enjoy doing. I’m currently working full-time 9-5 Mon-Fri so… House sitting: Strictly weekends starting Friday nights going into Sunday night Drop-in visits & Dog walking: Anytime after 5:30pm Mon-Fri & full availability on Sat and Sun Having previous work experience caring for animals allows me to truly understand the level of attention that needs to be given to your pets. I can ensure your pets’ safety and well-being in my presence, while also providing a mentally and physically stimulating time for them
About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional caregiving experience as a registered nurse and my genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I currently have two cats of my own. My nursing background has made me highly attentive, dependable, and comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or routine that may require extra attention. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a nightshift RN, I work three 12 hr shifts a week which allows me a lot of flexibility to add in selected walks or drop ins When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and exercise instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. I also keep the home tidy and secure and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected while they’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know each pet and adjust my care accordingly. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away.
About: 2+ years of experience. I’m a dependable and caring sitter with hands-on experience watching both cats and dogs. From energetic pups to laid-back kitties, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s routine and personality. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home during the week and have free weekends, and I love to spend my down time checking in, walking, feeding, and spending time with your pets! I prefer to care for pets out of their home (drop-ins, walks around their neighborhood, etc.), ensuring they are comfortable and feel safe with me and their surroundings.
“Isabelle is excellent. She was on time for our meet and greet and for all drop-in visits. Isabelle took terrific care of Sadie and is an excellent communicator. This was my first time with Isabelle and I am hoping she will be available in the future to watch Sadie. I highly recommend Isabelle.”
About: I grew up with dogs all my life and currently have two of my own. For over 10 years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from walking and feeding to bathing and playtime. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets because I pride myself on being a responsible, loving, and attentive pet owner. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently in grad school to become a physical therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m free on weekends, as well as Wednesdays. I am also available Thursdays after 2 PM. This allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love having company, so your pup will never feel lonely. My dogs have a play pen that I can seperate them in if needed and always prioritize safety, comfort, and care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home and well-loved while you’re away.
“Matthew helped me out on a last minute request and was on time and so nice. Bailey enjoyed her walk and I will definitely use him again in the near future.”
About: Hi, I am a grad student and looking to make some extra money. I have always loved animals especially dogs and cats. Growing up my family had tons of animals including cats, fish, turtles, and dogs (as small as a Yorkie and as large as a Golden Retriever). I love playing with dogs and cats. My family always called me the animal whisperer growing up. I recently moved to houston and would really like to meet and play with more animals as it is very therapeutic for me. In my free time I volunteer at different animal shelters. I also love to be able to be outside as much as possible, so I’d be thrilled to go for walks and visit local dog parks!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid of multiple breeds. I have learned that the best way to care for a pet is to make sure they are happy, healthy, and loved! I’m currently working from home and spend most of my time at home with my dog Rocco! My schedule is very flexible so I get to take my dog out often and would love the opportunity to spend time with even more pups and cats. I have a fenced yard, a cage, and I keep a close eye on the pets that I am caring for. I treat every pet as if it’s my own and make sure they have water at all times and access to bathroom as needed.
About: I’ve always loved dogs. My childhood home had over 5 dogs there at one time. Now I just have 2 amazing dogs! I’ve dog sat multiple dogs with multiple different families and enjoyed every moment I’ve shared with every dog. I went to West Chester University where I did Rover for a year. I just bought a house in Bensalem where I am available more to watch your dog! I love going on walks with my dog. My dog can sit on furniture and on my bed. She is free to roam around my house, no cage is needed. As a teacher with a structured schedule from 8 to 3, I’ve built a consistent routine around pet care, feeding, walks, and playtime happen before and after work, with weekends dedicated to deeper bonding and grooming. It’s a rewarding part of my day that helps me unwind and stay balanced. I provide attentive, personalized care by sticking to each pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they're in my home or I’m caring for them in their own familiar space.
“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: I’ve grown up with a dog since I was born. I’ve walked, bathed, brushed, and cared for so many furry friends. I love my dog with all my heart she’s my child. I’ll love yours the same. Pet care is a big part of my day to day. I walk my girly multiple times a day so I don’t mind helping others. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are when I would be available. Showing affection and love first is important. I want to let them come to me when I first meet them so they are comfortable. Making sure their basic needs are met. Potty, food, lots of love. check, check, check.
“Kristi was awesome. It was my first time leaving my babies with someone new and it seems they took to her right away, especially my special boy. She was very responsive, which was much appreciated. I will definitely be booking again !”
“It seems like our puppy had a great time with Mr. Fernandez. He sent us pictures and gave us updates in our puppy during his stay. He was very accommodating and was available on short notice. He will now be our permanent doggy sitter.”
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
“We had a short five day trip and Kimberly took care of our two girls. She communicated on a daily basis , sent photos , and videos of our babies. Kimberly is dependable did xtras like bring in mail and kept up areas where the girls stayed. She cuddled and loved them as if they were her own!! We could tell by there temperament when we returned home that they were well taken care of. We would recommend her and use her again for our pet sitting job. Thanks for a great job Kimberly !! ???❤️❤️”
About: I have worked with pets for over 10 years. From dog walking to dog sitting I have followed routines and scheduled for a pet need. I work remotely at my home full time during the week and have a routine that is open for pet sitting and dog walking nearby. I ensure that I maintain cleanliness in my home and while in the home of others. I will ensure that there is a level of safety and priority with your pet.
About: I've always had pets in my life from a young age. I love dogs in general and love taking care of them. I worked at dog daycare/boarding facility in Huntingdon Valley. I also went to school to become a certified Veterinary Assistant and worked in a veterinary office. I currently work at the School District of Philadelphia. I work full time from 7-3 but have summers off, I can take care of your pets on the weekends, after work during the week and days that schools are closed throughout the year. If clients are looking for a dog sitter I will treat the dog as if they are my own. I would walk the dog, let them out in the yard to play and go to the bathroom; play inside the house. I would try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible until their owners returned along with making sure they have fresh water and food. If the client wants me to walk their pets, I would make sure that it was not too cold or hot out, that it was safe to do so. I would make the walk a positive experience for the animal,and pay attention to the surroundings to make sure there is no danger.
“Makenzi was wonderful with our dogs! She was punctual for every drop-in visit and kept us updated with photos each time, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We'd absolutely book with her again and have no hesitations recommending her to anyone.”

Peggy is fantastic! Our large doggo is partially blind and on a special diet and needs a little extra love. Our fluff loves Peggy and enjoys her walks and actually eats her food when we are away. Peggy is my go to sitter when we have to travel and will always rebook with her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Croydon is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $23 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 8,854 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Croydon. 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 Croydon 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.

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.
