“Lucy is WONDERFUL. I booked her for nightly drop in visits with my 2 pups while I was away. She came over to meet them ahead of time and they immediately loved her. The notes and pictures she provided from each visit were awesome and really put my mind at ease while I was away. Just a pleasure to work with.”
“My husband and I had a great feeling for Julia since our first meet and greet with our cats. Even our female cat Lisa, who can be difficult, was relaxed with Julia since her first visit. She was attentive to everything that we asked for and was accommodating for our needs. She also communicated timely and extensively, and I felt that our cats were exactly getting the care that they needed. We would love to have her help for our cats again!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment for pets while following their routines closely. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement as well as senior pets who require gentler care, patience, and extra attention. I also make sure pet owners feel connected by providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit. I currently have a flexible schedule and am fully available during the summer, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent pet care throughout the week. I am able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and I am happy to work around your pet’s routine. I treat every pet like family and prioritize communication, providing regular updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected and confident in their care. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop-in visits, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own home and familiar environment. During each visit, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, litter box care (for cats), and any specific routines or medications. For dog walks, I prioritize safety at all times by using secure leashing, paying close attention to surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise based on their energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive care, companionship, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, ensuring it is left clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I also provide consistent updates with photos and messages so you always feel informed and connected to your pet. My goal is to give your pet reliable, safe, and stress-free care while giving you complete peace of mind.
“Danielle was great with my new kitten. I felt very comfortable having her over. Mocha loved her and she sent lots of great pics. Thank you Danielle!”
About: I’m not sure yet as this will be my first time doing this type of work so hopefully I will get to learn what sets me apart from other sitters by doing this I’m currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to take your pup on walks everyday from 10 through 3 I don’t own any pets unfortunately but if I did I would make sure to keep anything that would get them hurt or sick away from them
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had pets myself and I have pet sat for my friends and family for years. I am punctual and detail oriented. Whatever you and your pet need I will provide. I will always show love and respect to the pets I care for. I work at Mom's Organic Market 4 days out of the week so I have plenty of open days to take care of your pets. I live in an apartment and have a cat so my place would not be ideal for pets to stay over. Maybe another cat would be ok. I am open to that.
About: I have done dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager for family, friends, and neighbors. I have taken care of all different types of dogs of different ages and needs. I currently have a 6 month old puppy so I am used to that stage as well! I am at school most weekdays but can always do evenings 7 days a week. My schedule on weekdays during the day varies but I always have time available. I am very clean and neat and will not disrupt your living space or personal items when caring for your precious pets. I can follow whatever safety and security measures you prefer to access your pet.
“We had a wonderful experience with Jenna and will absolutely use her again. This was our first time hiring her to care for our cats, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. Jenna was communicative throughout our time away, sending regular updates and photos, and was not afraid to reach out with questions when needed. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cats were in such attentive hands. She also cleaned up any pet messes and went above and beyond, helping with our garden while we were away. What really stood out was how quickly our cats warmed up to her. One of our cats is usually shy and tends to run and hide when meeting new people, but she stayed put and happily accepted head scratches from Jenna, a true testament to her calm and caring demeanor with animals. Jenna is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We came home to happy cats and a well cared for house, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who I love, cherish, and take care of. I have walked dogs for my neighbors and family before, always ensuring the most safe and nurturing experience for them. Currently I am in school, but very flexible for walking on weekdays. I am always open to figuring something out that works around my schedule. The weekends are a little more busy, but again times can be worked around. I will care for the pets greatly in their environment in which they feel comfortable in. I walk my dogs a lot and always make sure they are safe and protected.
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, I grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes and have been responsible for they’re care and well being since a young age. I’m a full time as stylist, however my schedule can be pretty flexible, I am often able to make adjustments in my schedule to make myself available to spend time with your pets! I am not able to bring pets into my own home at this time but I am happy to visit with them in their homes!

About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.
About: Have over 10 years of pet sitting and care experience. Have worked with different animals, and breeds of all different ages.

I care for pets in a clients home as if it’s my own home and pet. I am constantly with them and giving them attention. The schedule for those pets is my top priority.

We couldn't be happier with Courtney! Shes reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely care about our dog. Every walk is handled with so much attention and kindness, and it's obvious our pup gets excited every time she arrives. It's such a relief knowing our dog is in great hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dependable, caring pet care!
Allie was amazing with our 9 year old dog!!! We always get a little nervous having a new sitter watch our 95 lbs American bulldog mix since he can be a handful at times, but once they met we knew he’d be in good hands. Allie was communicative, gave lots of photos and updates, and followed our instructions with ease!! Will definitely be reaching out again for future visits :)
10/10 super star sitter!! Not only was she very accessible via text or call but she also provided tons of pictures and video updates. We even had to book twice last minute and she accommodated us both times!! Even went as far as rescheduling a hair appointment! Once again 10/10 definitely will book again!!
Amanda was extremely conscientious and responsible taking care of my energetic dog while I was away! I could see how happy Oreo was to spend time with her with both walks and lots of cuddles from the great photos she took. Plus, Amanda really took the time pre-visit to make sure she understood Oreo's diet and personality. All round a great experience -- thank you!
I had the most lovely experience using Chelsea to take care of my senior girl! Chelsea is the sweetest and kindest Rover person I've ever used. She followed my lengthy instructions and took such great care of my Bella. No surprise she has a Star rating! I'll definitely be using her again!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elkins Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Elkins Park 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Elkins Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
