“Courtney is reliable, caring, and generous with her time and attention. Her consistent communication is always much appreciated while we’re away. Our cat loves her visits. She has adjusted so quickly to his changing routines, and we are so grateful!”
“Marilyn was a pleasure to meet. She bonded very well with both my cats. One of my cats needed medication and she administered them well. She made sure that the cats were fed and played with during her visit. I would definitely look for Marilyn again if I am going away.”
“Thank you to Jaclyn for taking the last minute booking. We really appreciate her and the great care that she took of our Bunny & Howie and our home. Jaclyn sent us updates and photos which we love to see while we are away. We will absolutely book Jaclyn again. :)”
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 have a part time job working evenings on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am available to figure out ways for care around work on those days. For Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am fully available. 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.
“Keri did all that was asked of her in caring for our two cats, and then went beyond in playing with them with cat toy, bringing out our shy cat who usually hides from anyone new. Our shy cat started showing himself when Keri came, and then joined in the play with the cat toy. I think she cracked his code! Her conscientious and caring work is so much appreciated! She is the best!”
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
“I have booked with Christina twice and she is great! I trust her with my babies. She got my one slow to trust cat to cuddle with her, which is the ultimate sign to me. I will definitely book with her in the future”
“I cannot ask for anyone better than Lucy! She is so communicative, sweet, thorough and so kind to me and my 3 dogs who adore her. Shes been the best and I highly recommend anyone utilizing her for your pet needs!”
“Shelby is the best- my male cat was facing a health issue and she provided so much love and support, administered meds and gave us great communication and photos while we were out of town. Shelby has a very sweet personality. You can tell she genuinely cares and loves animals. Went out of her way. Highly recommend!”
“We're delighted to have had Ally take care of The Ladies, our two older female cats. Both Drummer and Maeve took to her immediately finding her warm and engaging. We loved that Ally respected our asks in terms of when and how to feed, do the litter boxes and give medicine. One thing to know about Ally is she's very communicative and clear. Another thing to know is she takes the BEST pictures. She captured the personalities of The Ladies perfectly. We're now comfortable to travel again knowing that we can reach out to Ally for excellent care.”
“Hadiya took excellent care of my cat. She was very communicative and responsive. She went above and beyond and my cat seemed to have a wonderful time with her.”
“Danielle is very reliable and kept us in the loop while we were away with very detailed reports. We missed our flight and needed to extend the care for our boys another day. Danielle agreed to the extra visit without hesitation and that was one less thing for us to worry about so we could focus on getting home”
“Barb is the greatest and the best! We are always happy when she has an opening for us. The dog is calm and relaxed, and we get to see the walks she took while we were gone! Barb is flexible and patient with the dog and with us. Thanks, Barb!”
“Tiana does such an amazing job with our pups! She takes the extra time to make sure they get to play, sniff and explore after being cooped up for hours. And that’s in addition the main ask of letting them outside for a bathroom break and feeding them. She truly is a lifesaver for us when we’re away from home for an extended period.”

Jacqueline took excellent care of our geriatric cat for the week. She gave him food and medicine, thoroughly checked and cleaned his litter boxes, and most importantly gave him lots of treats and love. She communicated updates proactively and left the house exactly as we left it. We would happily have her cat sit again.
We rely on Heather to take care of our cats anytime we go on vacation. She is amazing as far as taking care of their individual food needs and attention to each cat! Heather communicates every day about each cat and also provides photos of each! I highly recommend Heather for your pet's care!
This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and after Lauren, we’ll never be returning to boarding 🙌🏾 I was a little nervous about leaving my pup but Lauren made me feel at ease with her warm, calm demeanor and her EXPERTISE! Lauren came highly recommended and her reputation speaks for itself. She was on time for each visit and sent LOADS of cute videos and pictures. She followed my instructions and communicated when necessary with any questions or concerns. My fur baby looked happy and comfortable in my home and NOT STRESSED. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying! I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a kind, dedicated pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services for our future travels.
Ally was the perfect sitter for our anxious dog. She gave him lots of attention and love so he relaxed and had a great time. I was nervous because we hadn’t used Rover before, but this was a great experience and will definitely use it again (with Ally of course!).
Amanda is so great with animals. We have an extremely anxious cat that most other sitters never see, but came out for pets with her! Had she not taken pictures of the event, we probably wouldn't have believed it happened. She's responsible and accountable and we will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
Hadiya is wonderful! It's difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies and your home. As soon as we met Hadiya, we knew she was the right person. We have two shy kittens (other cat sitters had taken care of them for weeks at a time and never even saw them). But they warmed up to Hadiya almost instantly! We couldn't believe it. Hadiya is detailed oriented, reliable, thorough, and so sweet with our cats. She took the time to build their trust AND got all the care tasks done too. We can't recommend her enough.
Nikki was very responsive and took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet before the service began. She did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Elkins Park on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,580 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elkins Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Elkins Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
