“Very communicative and left detailed reports of how my cat was doing. She included photos in her reports, too, which was so fun to see while away. Absolutely recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!”
“We've been having Heather care for our cats for a few years now and love how she has built a rapport with each. Even our most skittish cat is accepting her. Heather sends wonderful photos along with detailed updates, and make sure the area is clean and safe. Would recommend with no reservations!”
“She was great! Dropped in to check on my dog last minute while i was out of town for the day, walked him, and took some of the cutest photos he’s had in years!”
“Logan was great watching our cat while we were on vacation! Super responsive and great at communicating with me before and during my trip. He always sent several pictures and a detailed blurb on how our kitty was doing. Felt comfortable and confident with him!”
“Fantastic job overall with our dog. Our sitter was knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and managed to turn a very difficult crate training situation around in a matter of hours. Could not recommend more.”
“Nia was great with my dog Blue when me and husband were out of town for three days. She was very friendly, communicative and punctual. She left me with a note of what she did with my dog on each visit and kept the guidelines/instructions. We will definitely have her again for our dog sitter! She is great! 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: I’ve raised three dogs throughout my life, and I love them to bits. Animals are the fresh of breath air that I need in life, and I ensure you can trust me with your baby. Since my own puppy lives with family in another state currently, I’d love to have more animals in my life. I used to walk my puppy, feed him, and most importantly I play with him daily. It’s something I enjoy greatly. In my home, your puppy will have a gated outside patio to play on, and plenty of indoor space to lay down or run around. At your home, I will be extremely diligent in ensuring your directions are followed perfectly, with a great attention to detail and a love for animals, you can trust me with your puppy and your home.
“Sydney was wonderful to meet up with and coordinate!! Definitely loves dogs and has lots of experience. Treated the dogs so sweetly and communicated exceptionally!”
About: I own 3 dogs, I love training dogs I like taking them to dog parks. I like to teach other dogs how to do tricks I am working a part time job but I do have a flexible schedule tand can make some time for these wonderful adorable animals . I have a routine for my animals for their potty breaks, their feeding and also bedtime. I make sure they are all set before bedtime
“Kat was amazing. She came through for us in a time crunch and was very flexible with our schedule. Blue took to her very quickly. We will absolutely use her again for our future trips. Thank you Kat for everything. We truly appreciate you.”
About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.
“Very attentive and kept checking in to make sure Wera was okay. He followed all instructions and best of all kept my kitty happy and active while I was away, I recommend him!!”
“Ciera was awesome! My cat loved her and she went above and beyond while watching him. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, you and your pet will be happy!”
About: I have owned dogs for more than 16 years and have experience walking, sitting, and overall general care with all sizes, breeds, and activity levels. Never met a dog that I didn't instantly bond with, and have been told I have a naturally calming effect on animals! I own 3 pups myself and would be ecstatic to love and spoil your pup(s) like I do my own. Looking forward to meeting your buddy and you! Currently full-time graduate student, so making time for your furry loved ones and/or home would be my pleasure! Late afternoon classes are a priority, but almost any other times of day are completely doable. I have 3 dogs and a fenced in backyard. The two big guys love playing with visitors and all 3 a very well-behaved and welcoming!
“Joe was great! I think the dogs like him more than us now. He kept to the schedule and provided constant updates and photos. Would definitely recommend him to anyone and will use him again going forward when the doggos need watching.”
“Valeriya provided great care for my dog. She kept me updated with lots of pictures, videos and messages. I would certainly book her again for future pet sitting needs.”
“Kailey took great care of my pack. We had an emergency come up mid-trip and they were more than willing to adjust on the fly and add days which really saved us! We will absolutely use them again.”
“Marlee took incredible care of our kitties while we were on vacation for almost a week. We'd never left them alone that long before and were very nervous. But with every visit, Marlee sent detailed updates and the cutest pictures (lots of them were action shots of the kitties playing)! Even our shy kitty took only a few days to warm up to her. Marlee was also very communicative and responsive throughout the whole process. She'll definitely be our first choice to care for Kal and Syl next time we leave town! Thank you, Marlee!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drexel-Alvernon
Lauren did a very nice job checking in on our two senior cats during our international vacation. She followed guidance very thoughtfully, sent sweet pictures of the cats, and was respectful of our home space. She was willing and able to pivot when our travel schedule changed a bit and we were so grateful for her genuine care for our cats in our absence.
Lucy was amazing with my 2 large-breed dogs and medium rescue/foster puppy. Quick responses, consistent communication, numerous photo updates, flexible, and caring. The rescue/foster puppy is extremely high-energy and in the beginning training stages, yet Lucy was understanding and willing to help maintain consistency in her training. Very grateful to have found her and will use her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Drexel-Alvernon is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 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 1,395 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Drexel-Alvernon. 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 Drexel-Alvernon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
