“Rozz was great at keeping us updated on how everyone was doing while we were away. She was very respectful in our home and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely use her services again in the future”
“Catherine is amazing! She adapts really well and understands the needs of our dog. I love that I can have peace of mind leaving Floki to her care. Thank you so much!”
“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”
“Mary is very sweet and you can tell she really loves animals. She did great with our pups and stayed in communication while we were gone. She left the house tidy and neat. We did have a slight hiccup with her arrival time but she communicated that so it worked out ok. We would consider her in the future to stay with our pups again.”
“Ximena did such a great job with my pets! My cat can be very hard to make friends with and they warmed up to each other surprisingly quickly. Ximena also sent consistent updates with photos and left my home super clean (massive thanks for that). Highly recommend Ximena for both cats and dogs!”
“Faith was wonderful with our pup! She was very communicative, sent pictures, and kept Evie company whole we were out for late night plans. We will definitely book her again.”
About: I have taken care of animals of all sorts, particularly dogs, for over 8 years. I pet sit my sister’s’ two Chihuahuas weekly, and have from their younger years to current senior years. I am also a puppy sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and previously a puppy raiser. This includes ensuring that the puppies are well taken care of, socialized, and trained everyday as they learn to navigate this huge new world to them. Through this program I have also learned and utilized positive reinforcement training and attended weekly classes to continue to develop such skills. Recently, I have begun to incorporate the skills used in program to train my sister’s anxious dogs, which is going very well. I cater to the needs of each dog, from listening to how they communicate, what level of attention they desire, to how they learn best. I have also cared for chickens, ducks, and goats at a summer camp, and have taken care of many abandoned or injured wild animals until I could bring them to someplace that had more resources to help them! I just graduated college, and am in a period of life trying to figure out what to do long term. One thing I know for sure is that I have a passion for working with animals, and I am currently able to fit intentional, loving, and patient pet care into my daily routine at any time that pet owners and their pets need! While caring for pets, I put the needs of the animal first, while also respecting any requests made by the pet parent. I move at the pace that is necessary so that the pet feels safe and comfortable with me, guided by a mutual respect. I listen intently to the language of the pet to gauge his/her needs. I maintain any training the pet has learned, while also providing a space that allows the animal’s personality to shine through. I will cuddle with a pup all day or we can do our own things, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet!
“Alyssa did great with Nina and Pepper! She took care of Pepper's meds and paw bandage change, and both of them were happy and relax when we returned from our trip. Thank you Alyssa!”
“Amy was the best! She kept me updated throughout my trip. Sent lots of photos and videos. Gave my cat his medication on time and kept me well informed. I came back to a clean home and happy cats. Will rebook definitely”
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Bahiyyah was great. She took such wonderful care of my puppy and older cat. She did an amazing job keeping up with the puppy and exercising her. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my girls. Highly recommend Bahiyyah if you're looking for a patient and kind sitter.”
About: I love taking care of pets! My favorite thing is to always make sure animals are happy and loved. I grew up with many pets from tiny mice to a German shepherd! I am a 4th year college student at West Chester University . I commute to school so I’m only on campus for classes (starting August 24) . I also work part time, but will be free anytime you need help! I’m hoping to make extra money to help with school payments. My school schedule Monday 2-4 Tuesday: 9:30-10:45, 11-2 Wednesday: 10-11:45, 2-4 Thursday: 9:30-10;45 I do have to leave around 1.5 hours before my first class starts in order to find parking. I provide attentive and loving care for your dog or cat whether my home or yours. I understand that each dog and cat has unique needs and personalities, which is why I prioritize maintaining their routine while providing companionship and proper care.
“She did a great job with our Bear! She was super sweet the whole time and sent us some videos while we were away. Bear was well taken care of and loved. Naomi stayed in our home which we were very comfortable doing! Would definitely recommend for future references:)”
“Oliva was punctual, communicative, and attentive to Leo's needs throughout the weekend! We would book Olivia again in a heartbeat — she made our anxious boy feel comfortable.”
About: Several years under my belt of taking care of your best pals! I know how important it is to leave your pet in the right person’s hands. I’d love to be that person for you. I’ve encountered all kinds of pets: • dogs who weigh as much as me 💪🏽😍 • pets needing oral or topical medication • anxious COVID puppers • sweet misunderstood dogs requiring muzzles • 16-year old seniors needing a little more compassion • puppies and kittens who need tiring out 😅 • so many others in between! Most of my positive reviews mention the great pictures I take of your pet (I’ll do most anything to get them at the right angle!), how much sincere love I shower on your pal, and my general decorum in your home. I don’t have a dog or cat of my own (yet!), but have two adorable bunnies at home 🐰😍🐰 I’m currently working part-time and am very flexible both during the day, and on weekends. Happy to work around your schedule, and am currently available for last-minute requests. I’ll generally follow your guidance based on your pet’s needs. Happy to feed them, play with them, and go for walks as needed. Whatever they prefer!
“Jacqueline was able to help us out last minute and come house sit our pup. She was very communicative and sent updates throughout her stay. We came home to a clean house and happy puppy.”
About: Hi there! I’m Mara, a loving, caring, and responsible pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs. Growing up with my two beloved pups, Bodoque (dad) and Junior (son) both being Maltese-French Poodle mix, I learned how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. I am bilingual (Spanish) and eager to accommodate pets of various ages and mobility. That’s why I’m saving up to become a certified Pet Communicator! Yes, you read that right—speaking with your furry baby to understand their needs and feelings even better. Your trust helps to deepen this connection and make this dream a reality.! Why Choose Me? I genuinely LOVE dogs, all kinds! Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s medication, extra attention, or just some tender loving care. My goal is to make sure your furry baby feels at home, safe, and happy while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. My husband and I recently lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Meatball, in 2022. He was 16 years old and the heart of our home. Although we miss him dearly, we have so much love to give. Think of us as the cool aunt and uncle who adore spending time with your pets! Beyond pet sitting, I aim to build a deep connection with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved during their stay. Your Pet’s care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love starting my mornings with a walk, which is the ideal time to take your furry baby out, especially before it gets too hot. If I know a pet is coming, I plan my day around their needs—whether it's scheduling walks, giving them their medicine, or just spending quality time together. And if I have to step out, my husband is always here to make sure your pet is cared for. When caring for your furry baby in our home, we treat them with the routine and love present on their own. My husband and I create a relaxed, loving environment where your pet is free to be themselves. Whether they prefer lounging on the couch, sleeping in bed with us, or sticking to a specific routine, we accommodate their needs to make sure they feel safe and at home. We're easy-going and flexible, and we even enjoy teaching new tricks! Your pet's happiness, wellness, and comfort are our top priority.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drexel Hill
not my first rover experience but the first as a homeowner which added a layer of trust needed on top of care for 2 senior dogs. olivia was wonderful and attentive to all the directions we left and took great care of both boys even with all their quirks. before leaving on the last day she went above and beyond to help secure the house during a nor'easter which was much appreciated. my only "feedback" is i hope she knows there's no such thing as TOO much puppy content when sending updates to crazy dog moms
Angela is wonderful! She’s professional, friendly, prompt and neat. I received great updates and pics all 5 days of travel and she went out of her way to secure our home during an unexpected N’easter. She secured all small object…plants,umbrella’s, wreaths etc and placed them in our garage then she got them all back out when the storm was over!! Just like having a family member stay at your home. Oh…she even dropped Lucy at the groomers for me! Hopefully she’ll be available the next time we travel. Thanks Angela!
Matin has been the absolute best sitter we could have asked for. She is so wonderful with our pups, especially our anxious boy who was in love with her within 24 hours. She is patient, calm, communicative - everything you could want when entrusting someone in your home with your pets. I cannot recommend Matin more and look forward to working with her again!
Elizabeth was great! I have two German Shepherds, and one of them is more high-maintenance and requires medication and a consistent routine. In the past, I’ve had a hard time finding sitters who truly understand the importance of sticking to their schedule and making sure everything is done correctly. Elizabeth was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands, and she kept me updated throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would happily have her care for my dogs again!
Abby was fantastic, as always! She stayed at our house for 10 days with our two pups. She took both dogs on walks daily, administered medication, and expertly cleaned our hound dog’s gross ears! She went above and beyond by cuddling with both dogs at night and making their days feel as normal as possible :) Great communication throughout the stay. She took great care of our house. Very happy to have found a great sitter.
Fantastic! It was our first time using Raquel and I wouldn’t hesitate to hiring her again. She stayed the week and gave Lucy her undivided attention. I received just the right amount of feedback each day and it was apparent with each message and picture that Lucy was very comfortable with her. It was so nice to go on vacay and know that your furry friend feels safe and happy without you. Thanks Raquel!
Bahiyyah was great. She took such wonderful care of my puppy and older cat. She did an amazing job keeping up with the puppy and exercising her. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my girls. Highly recommend Bahiyyah if you're looking for a patient and kind sitter.
Kristina and her daughter were wonderful! They. Were very attentive and communicated through out their stay. I was very nervous leaving the dogs as usually they stay with family but Kristina put our worries at ease and everything went great! Would highly recommend!
Krystal stayed at my home with my 2 dogs for eight nights while we were away. One dog has anxious tendencies and the other is epileptic and requires twice daily medication. Krystal was able to not only accommodate their needs, but recognized their little quirks and adjusted to make them each more comfortable. She kept our place tidy, was in frequent communication, and responded promptly.
Attentive, responsive, and great with my cats! I would definitely hire again. Danielle has a very nice demeanor that allows them to approach her easily. She took great care of my home and sent me updates with pics daily. I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of them.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Drexel Hill walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Drexel Hill maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Drexel Hill 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
