“Barbara O was a wonderful cat sitter! She came into my home and made sure things were clean with the litter and eating area. But more importantly, she spent quality time with my cat. The photos she sent while I was away reiterated that my cat was well taken care of. Barbara was a professional who I know will be seeing Mimzy again!”
“Rachel did a great job and went above and beyond with the cats. Our notoriously shy cats even made an appearance which is high praise from them. We’ll definitely be using her services again when we go on vacation!”
“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.”
“Autumn is great and has always been available for us whenever we travel. She is flexible and took great care of our two kitties. I am always disappointed when I see she is not available when we are going to be away. If you need someone to come in and check-in on your furry family members. Look no further than Autumn!!!”
“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.”
About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also had ferrets and a snake as pets. There was a period of time where, I had 3 dogs of my own at the same time. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs. I am a nurse that works from home full-time therefore, your pet will have companionship throughout the day. I will enjoy having the company of your pet while I am working as well. I have administered medications to animals as directed by pet owners and veterinarians. I am able to administer oral and topical medications. I have confidently cared for recently spayed/neutered animals. I am experienced in puppy potty/feeding routines, crate training as well as positive reinforcement with or without treats. While caring for your family’s fur baby, I will treat them like family and as directed per your wishes. I will attempt to adhere to their routines to make the transition of not being at home easier for them. There will be plenty of built in time for attention, potty breaks and playtime. Your furbaby will be made to feel at home here. I will make every attempt to adhere to their home routine as much as possible to lessen the stress of this transition. I have a small unfenced grassy area that is available for quick potty breaks. For exercise and the longer potty breaks, we would go on walks through the neighborhood. I currently walk approximately 2 miles (weather permitting) for my own physical fitness therefore if your pup is willing and able, I would love the company. Typically, when I have watched friends and family's dogs we took walks 3 times a day. There will always be room for other accommodations if more or less walking is needed. I will ensure that your pet is safe and comfy while they sleep at night and rest during the day. There is a clean doggy bed and plenty of blankets to choose from if laying on the floor as I have hardwood floors. Please feel free to bring and favorite toys or advise of any activities that your pet enjoys as it is my goal to make them feel at home. My home gets the morning and afternoon sun though the large front window which provides a space for your pet to sunbathe if they so choose. There is also a sitting windowsill for them to enjoy some outside activity with the safety of being indoors. As previously stated, I have a small, unfenced yard available for quick potty breaks. For dogs, majority of their bathroom breaks will be walks depending on their energy and activity level. For visiting kitty's the litter box will likely be placed in my semi-finished basement unless other stipulations are discussed. Your kitty will be lovingly guided to the litter box to get acclimated to it's whereabout. I will provide the desired updates, pictures and communicate any issue timely so that you can feel at ease that your beloved pet is being well cared for. As a previous pet owner, I understand the worries of handing your beloved pet over to someone to care for them as you do. I assure you that your pet will be well loved and cared for here.
“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 have been working in animal shelters for the past 13 years and have experience caring for dogs and cat with age ranges from a few weeks old to over 16+ years old. 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! I adapt to whatever schedule and routine you have for your furry family member(s)! 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!
“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.”
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 know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies when you're away from home, which is why I strive to provide top-notch daytime care. Whether I'm popping in for a drop-in visit or taking them out for some fresh air, my services include: feeding and medication per the pet parent’s instructions, plenty of walks, play time, and lots of cuddles (if they’re okay with that!) with photo updates throughout my visit. As an animal shelter volunteer, I especially have experience with cats, including kittens as young as 2 weeks old. Since I have recently moved to Philadelphia my availability is now completely open, which works out perfectly for scheduling visits! Any scheduling discrepancies will be communicated ASAP. My approach to pet care is centered on safety and maintaining a stress-free routine. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by double checking locks and removing potential hazards.
About: I have experience caring for cats and small dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s personality and routine. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and lots of affection. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away I’m a Penn student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan pet care around my classes. I’m especially available in the evenings, on weekends, and during days when I have more flexibility. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents in advance to make sure their pet receives consistent and reliable care. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure food, water, doors, leashes, and the environment are secure, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level. I’m respectful of both the pet and the owner’s home, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos while they’re in my care.
About: I don’t have any experience with dogs, and it is hard for me to watch them. I perfect a cat more than dogs. Thank you! I currently work full time remotely and have the privilege of being very flexible with my time. I can work with your schedule, and see what fits. I am very hands on and pay attention to a lot of details when it comes to pets and want to make sure they have the best care possible.
“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.”
About: I grew up taking care of my family's dogs, walking, feeding, cleaning, etc. I also have been a cat parent for the past 3 years. I am a student, so I have a flexible schedule, and I am around all summer. I can always find time in the mornings and evenings for my pet and for yours. I take pet safety very seriously. I do not ever leave human food in reach of a pet, and I make sure all doors/windows are closed or at least have a screen.
“Maya is great! Has taken care of our cats twice and always leaves our place tidy, makes sure to give the cats tons of play time, and sends lots of pictures. Thanks maya!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, grown up taking care of many dogs and two family cats. Im currently the primary caretaker of our family dog, our now older family cat, and my two own cats. I also have experience with exotic animals, previously having two family guinea pigs and now my own hermit crab. Every morning I wake up to feed my cats and dog right before I eat my own breakfast. My cats litters are in spaces I use daily so they trust the space and i can monitor their health and habits. I know every animal is unique the same way people are, I treat every animal with love, care, and patience. I have a big soft spot for animals that are naturally distrustful and skittish and know how to gently approach them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Darby Township
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!!
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.
Emmanuela is a fantastic sitter who took exceptional care of my cat while I was away for one week. On top of that she went the extra mile to see that my plants were well taken care of and that my trash went out. I would not hesitate to hire Emmanuela again for any pet sitting needs.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carismeldi was absolutely wonderful with Freddy! I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she followed all of my instructions. She sent me lots of updates, which I loved and which made me feel so comfortable knowing Freddy was in good hands. Her communication was great, and it was clear to me that she genuinely cared about him and took great care of him while I was away. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Freddy and would happily have her watch him again!
So grateful to have Kaylee watch our cat once again. We got very detailed updates about her every visit, and she was very content by the time we got home, which was a huge relief. Kaylee takes incredible care of our pets and our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lyra & giving us peace of mind! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,512 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Darby Township. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
