“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud owner of my cat, Bubba, who has taught me a lot about patience, routine, and the small things that make pets feel safe. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs and cats for years: feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and just being a calm presence while they’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a long walk or your cat just wants company, I’ll treat them like my own. I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care into most parts of my day. I’m available for morning and evening walks during the week, drop-in visits midday, and longer stays on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance and stick to the routine you set for your pet: consistency matters, especially for younger or older animals. I offer drop-in visits and walks at your home, so your pet stays in the environment they know best. I’ll follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secured, and send photo updates during each visit. I live with my cat Bubba in a calm, smoke-free home, so I’m comfortable around animals who are shy or take time to warm up. If anything seems off, appetite, behavior, or health, I’ll reach out right 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: 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.
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.
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.
“Grace was fantastic for quick dog-sitting and walking , Grace was incredibly reliable and arrived on time. The dog was clearly happy and comfortable upon return, which is the best outcome. would be booked with Grace again for future pet care needs." Thank you Grace”

About: Hi, I’m Carol! I’ve always had a love for animals and understand how important it is to find a trustworthy, caring sitter for your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I provide dependable and loving care tailored to your pet’s needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a good game of fetch, I’m here to make sure they get the attention they deserve. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them the care they need while you’re away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I am available all hours of the day. Flexible to work with you and your schedule as it permits to make your life easier for both you and your pets. Full supervision on animals at all times. Daily life activities and feeding as required depending on the owners instructions. Please provide instructions on special needs and what you would like to be met while supervising your animals.
About: My extensive experience in pet care is founded on a deeply rooted love for animals and a commitment to providing top-notch service. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether it's walking a puppy, or providing gentle care for senior pets, I have a versatile skill set that ensures every furry friend in my care receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to adapt to various situations and my keen understanding of animal behavior enable me to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets thrive. Don't think I just stop at Cats and Dogs! I was a professional pet sitter for years and have watched and cared for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Fishes and a Pigeon (yes even a pigeon). I currently have 8 year old cat Begbie (gorgeous, grumpy and full of sass) 2 1/2 year old cat Dexter (always has his tuxedo on ready to crash events and full of spice) 3 guinea pigs (Norman, Joel and Donnie), they currently reside in their own room (with fences around the outlets), where they have plenty of room to forage, hide, run, whatever their tiny hearts desire. In essence, my passion for pets, sets me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and provide peace of mind to pet owners. One of the biggest perks of having a flexible schedule right now? I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I currently have very flexible daytime/nighttime availability, which means I can accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need a little more attention or simply don’t enjoy being left alone for long periods. Need someone to stop by during the day? I’m your person! Have a pet who needs multiple visits? Let’s talk! Have a senior pet who needs a little extra TLC? Absolutely! Have a furry friend who thinks a 20-minute visit is simply unacceptable? I understand their demands. 😂 Because my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and maintains as much of their normal schedule as possible. Your schedule may be busy. Mine is currently wide open—and your pets are more than welcome to fill it! 🐶🐱🐹🐦 Availability varies by day and booking, so please reach out and let’s see what works best for you and your pets. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their home or caring for my own in our home, my number-one priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely spoiled—in the best possible way! I believe keeping their routine as normal as possible is key. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any special routines your pet has. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship because I know pets can miss their humans just as much as humans miss them. I pay close attention to behavior and look for anything unusual, such as changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or mood. If something doesn’t seem right, I’ll let you know promptly. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own—clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I have experience with cats and small animals and understand that every pet has a different comfort level. Some want to play, some want cuddles, some want to explore, and some would prefer to stare at me from across the room while silently judging my life choices. I respect all of these personalities! 😂 Most importantly, I don’t believe pet sitting is simply checking a box on a to-do list. It’s about building trust, providing companionship, following your pet’s routine, and making sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. You enjoy your time away. I’ll handle the treats, belly rubs, zoomies, and occasional feline attitude. 🐾
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I was a little girl. I’ve had 2 of my own, and now frequently help out with friends’ pets! I am a recent graduate of college, looking for a side-gig to assist in paying off my student loans. I love all kinds of pets and bonus points if they need some energy to get out! I am a new runner, and love to run with doggies! I currently have a full-time job Monday-Friday from 9-5pm.. but am open to dog walks/drop-ins after 6 pm. Additionally, I have full availability on the weekends, and most Thursdays and Fridays as I work remotely - so I can be flexible. I live in a spacious home with a fenced in large backyard, and plenty of areas to walk pets in my surrounding neighborhood. The safety of your pets is always my priority!!
“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.”
“Amanda was so incredible checking in on our girl. She gave great info every time she went over and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She even helped try and reset our WiFi when it went down for us. She is super nice and we’ve already rebooked her to watch our girl on an upcoming trip!”

About: I’ve had a family dog since I was 7 years old and now I have my own! I have always had such a strong love for animals and I love sharing it with animals other than my own. I used to take care of dogs on rover a few years ago and now I’m back!! I’ve taken care of my friends or neighbors pets when they're away and I absolutely love it! I’ve taken care of dogs that were a few weeks old up to dogs that are into their teens! I can walk, bathe, play with them whatever you and your pet needs! I work professionally as a theatre performer and I’m in between gigs right now so I really am available whenever you need! I prefer weekdays but weekends work as well! I like to treat the owners home like it is my own. I respect the space and of course I clean up after me and your furry friend! I make sure they get their exercise in, their food, and anything else they need. I guarantee I will never do anything unauthorized by the owner and will soley focus on your animal. I also don’t mind having the dogs at my house as long as the owner is okay with the dog interacting with mine!

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.

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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
