About: I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to provide them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m dependable, caring, and willing to take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I do have a grasp of understanding canine body language and when they’re comfortable vs uncomfortable. I also have a lot of experience with smaller fuzzy friends such as rabbits and hamsters as well! I currently am new to the area looking for employment, and starting my pre requisites for Del Tech Community College. I have pretty open availability and flexibility for your furry friends. I can very much insure the security of leashes, collars and or harness for walks, as well as helping pups into crates if they’re crate trained at home. Helping younger pups learn with simple commands and positive reinforcement is also something I’m willing to do!
“Beth was amazing with our kitties! She went above and beyond to make sure they both were both fed and comfortable. I'm very grateful for her help and will certainly reach out to her in the future!”
“This was my first time leaving Leo home with a sitter while I traveled out of town. Sabrina provided frequent summaries on Leo health and aell being while I was away from home, allowing me to travel out of town and to feel very comfortable knowing Leo was well natured and taken very good care of in my absence. Sabrina was an absolute gem to find on such short notice! 😍”
“Lisa has watched Sam for several days and has taken absolutely great care of her. She communicated perfectly and send me pictures. She went out of her way to provide great service, I highly recommend her :)”
About: I have experience with breeds extra small to extra large as we owned a jack Russell, chocolate lab, golden retriever, and mastiff/cane Corso mix at the same time. Currently, we have a 6 year old American bulldog named rosie who loves lounging and eating my daughter's toys. I'm a recently retired teacher with a ton of free time on my hands and a desire to have a more active lifestyle. I live in west Conshohocken and have no commitments outside of elementary school drop off/pick up. I would prefer to care for your pet in your home as I have a kindergarten aged child but will consider housing a pet for a short stay. We have a fencrd in grassy yard and 2 enclosed deck/concrete areas. I will provide background clearances from the state police, FBI, and Childline.
“Hi highly recommend Jessica. She was able to get my Skitch kitty to come out from hiding and took the time with her during her visits to let her in the deck and for some pets. Thank you Jessica! 🙂”
“Paige was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. I would definitely recommend Paige and will gladly book with her again!”
About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter. I stay at home full time so I will be able to spend all day with your pet. As far as pets go, I have a very friendly lab mix named Kaya and a cat named Snickers. I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.
“Taylor and Michael are such stellar people! I’m so lucky to have found them! Will definitely reach out again when opportunity allows. Thanks again for caring for my little baby girl!”
About: My name is Justine. I have had dogs since the day I was born. Dogs have been my passion. I was a groomer, and have been trained in dog body language as a result of going down the grooming path. I really enjoy spending quality time with fur babies, and getting to help you as their parents when needed. As a pet parent myself I know it isn't always an easy task. Overall, if you're looking for someone who has quite a vast knowledge in the dog field, I'm your girl! Special Needs, Seniors, Puppies with all that energy boiled up, I can handle them all. If youre looking for a reliable, reassuring helper feel free to contact me. Can't wait to hear from you soon!
“Jermaine went out of his way to make sure our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone. He was on time every day and sent pictures on a daily basis. He came to the house the day before to see the dogs and go over feeding and meds and even cleaned the kennel area in the house garage before we got back. We look forward to having him back in the future.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home where pets were truly part of the family, and some of my favorite childhood memories are visiting the animal shelter with my mom—often leaving with a furry friend we would foster and love until we could help find them a forever home. That lifelong love for animals has followed me into adulthood. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I also have experience caring for senior pets and pets who require a little extra attention, including administering medications and following specific care routines. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is for you to be able to leave home knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention—and I’ll happily send updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing! We currently have 2 medium pups, Milo and Bear, along with 2 long hair cats, Phyllis and Everett. Don’t stress about them though. The fur adult cats own my son ;) so they hang with him in his room most of the time. Our other two pups love to play with other pups and are friendly. I am mostly available for dog walks or drop in visits and will be happy to accommodate boarding for families that need a quick trip or emergencies.
“This is the third time I've had Leanne do drop-in visits for my kitty Bandit. I had to contact Leanne urgently as we needed to go out of town unexpectedly for my father's funeral. Leanne was very prompt with responding back to me and was able to do drop-in visits kind of last minute for several days. Leanne is super efficient and prompt and always gave me a detailed Rover card after each visit with a few photos. It was a load off my mind that Bandit was well cared for during this difficult time for me.”
“Aaron demonstrated exceptional care and entertainment while providing assistance to Zuri. We deeply appreciate his dedication to ensuring the well-being of our family members, particularly his compassionate and attentive approach.”
About: I have had multiple cats and dogs growing up. My parents still have multiple cats and dogs and I currently own two cats. I have had many experiences caring for other people’s pets as my family has offered pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the years. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of and spending time with them, playing, talking with them, etc. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs will always have a fun time and enjoy their walks and/or play time with me. Both dogs and cats will get plenty of attention and care needed during in-home visits and dogs will during boarding or daily stays! As an animal lover, I look forward to helping out and providing great care for your pets! You can always feel comfortable and confident with your pet in my care! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). Teacher & coach at a high school so August-June I am only available on weekends & school breaks. I have much more availability, especially during the week, in the summer months! Your pet will be provided with daily love, exercise, fun, conversation, and relaxation. I will be adding more to this section as soon as possible!

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.

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.
