“Shaina did such a great job. From the first meet and greet she was friendly and professional. Binx was very comfortable with her. She communicated with us throughout the visits and spent time making him happy. We will be happy to book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Amber/Ash was fantastic with my cats. She connected with them easily, kept their schedule, and was respectful and kind with all of us. They were clearly content and yet happy to see me when I returned. She was flexible when I decided to return a day earlier than planned and was responsive on the app when texting her. I'd have her back anytime!”
About: I’ve had furry friends my entire life, and have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was 13. Pet sitting is not just a hobby for me but passion that started my own childhood home. Having dogs in my own home, and thinking how I’d want a sitter to treat my doggie, I will be sending lots of photos, having clear communication with owner, and always be available to call if the owner needs to contact me on a doggie matter. I can take care of furry friends nearly everyday out of the week, although I am currently in collage and my schedule is Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:15 to 2:45. I do not have any pets at my house, so if your furry friend does not do well with other dogs it’s a perfect fit. If a dog is quite energetic and social we will go on lots of walkies to tire them out so there not missing out!
“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I've had dogs growing up and have had cats as an adult. I am attentive and caring and knowledgeable about animal care for cats and dogs. I am self-employed and work from home. I wake up early and like to walk in the morning when it's cool outside. I prefer to walk with a dog in the morning. I have a very large fenced yard with very few weeds. I clean up animal waste regularly and keep the yard free of debris and dangerous items.
“Top tier care for my cat while I was out of town. Jennifer provided daily updates as well as pictures of my cat Onion. 5⭐️’s well earned and I will be booking again the next time I’m out of town!”
About: I’ve always been a total dog and cat person and honestly, I’m the one who ends up saying hi to the pets before the people 😄. I’ve cared for puppies and adult dogs, and I’ve also spent the last 6 years fostering kittens and cats, which has been such a big, happy part of my life. Being around animals just makes me feel like myself. I love getting to know their personalities, their little habits, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have pets of my own, I completely understand how much trust it takes to leave them with someone. That’s something I never take lightly. I’ll care for your fur babies like they’re part of my own family 💛 I am a homemaker and I am free to take care of your fur babies anytime you need me. When I tell you I am there for you, you'll know I will be. I have a fenced yard, 1 very friendly 4 month old pup and an 8 year old kid who loves to pamper pets and has always been around pets his whole 8 years amd has been a great helper throughout our fostering periods.
“Amazing service. Oliver stayed in my residence to take care of my two cats for a long term stay. He sent regular photo updates (as requested), was quick to communicate any updates or questions, and generally kept the place standing and clean while I was gone. Very trustworthy and reliable. 10/10 would book again for short and long term services!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from all ages since I was 14! I love to find new trails, parks, and of course local coffee shops that give out the best pup cups. I will treat your pet like they are my own. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. The days I work during the week are variable but I also can request to not work days that you’d want your pet with me if given enough notice. I can accept your pets on the weekend as well. I have plenty of space for your dog in my house. I do have a large crate if needed. It’s currently just me and my husband who live here. I don’t have any other pets at the moment. I can easily take your dog(s) on walks in the neighborhood or drive to a nearby park. We have a nice fenced backyard space so your pets can roam outside as well.
“Selina was great with Cooper! She gave him 100ml of IV subcutaneous fluids daily. She’s dependable and sent pictures while we were gone! Definitely will use her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind for as long as I can remember. I would walk them, play with them, and feed them. I’m currently working part time as a caregiver but I have plenty of free time and availability to come take care of your animals even if it’s last minute I currently live in an apartment but if you have a backyard or even an opened backyard I’ll always make sure your pet is on their leash or has eyes on them at all times. Even if you live in an apartment I’ll make sure they have their leash on and are being well cared for
“This was our first time using this service and we couldn't be more pleased. Valerie was amazing! She went above and beyond our requests and expectations. She was so kind and loving to our large bloodhound. I can't stress enough how happy we are with Valerie's care with our girl Molly. I would highly recommend Valerie to everyone! Thank you Valerie and Rover for such a great service!”
About: Ive had experience with all breeds and sizes. I earn trust quickly with most dogs. Ive had all ages of dogs as well geriatric end of life. Walks to the dog park, extended vacations or just a midday check. Im happy to make sure your fur baby is safe and sound. I have full availability for the present time. I love all animals and to be able to make them my ful time job would be a dream. I always speak with a gentle voice and avoid heads for the first visit until the dog offers to be pet. Ive got along with most every dog I've ever been in contact with.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Drexel Heights is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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.

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 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.

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.
