About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and owner for the past 12 years. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. I don’t currently have a dog of my own and I’m excited to open my home to give your dog the love, attention, and companionship they need. Since I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. My goal is to make every stay feel comfortable, safe, and just like a home away from home! I work from home, so my daily routine is pretty and works really well with having a dog around. I take regular breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and some attention. I like keeping a consistent routine, while still being flexible to whatever schedule your dog is used to. I keep my home calm, clean, and comfortable for pets. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re comfortable.

About: I am looking forward to hosting dogs in my house. I have a 4 year old dog I recently adopted. He enjoys having other dogs come to visit! I'm a teacher so I am home weeknights and weekends to care for and play with your dogs. Your dog can sleep in my room or can be crated if that is preferred. I am also excited to explore my new neighborhood with dog walks in the evenings. I have recently moved to a new home that has a small front yard. There are trails nearby that I can use for dog walks.

“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”

“Once again, Courtney took fabulous care of McGee and Carson. She always sent me pictures so I could see the boyz while I was away, and she kept me up to date on their goings-on throughout the week. This time our return flight had been cancelled and she offered to update the time we scheduled with her for an additional day if needed. Luckily we were able to update flights, but having someone like Courtney who was able to jump in if needed was definitely a distress or! Thanks for everything, Courtney!! ❤️”

About: I've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.

About: I have volunteered at multiple shelters and watched multiple different dogs and cats. I am active and able to walk dogs for a while and exercise them. I am available thursday-sunday at anytime that works, as well as monday and wednesday after 4. For pet sitting I can work all weekends if needed. In my home my pets get walked regularly as well as fed twice a day. I try to take them on longer walks when I can, they all get spoiled by me and have multiple toys and treats they get to play with.

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a small child. We started off with cats, eventually owned dogs. I also have experience with birds, ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I even held a tarantula once! As an adult, I’ve also had cats, and dogs, and have experience house breaking puppies, and caring for new mama cats and their kittens. I feel animals are usually very drawn to me. I have years of providing comfort, engagement, nourishment, and administering medication for different animals. As a pre-teen, I once had a very sick cat that almost died, and I slowly brought her back to health. This, in turn, created an unbreakable bond between us. At the moment I’m currently going to school part time and taking a few classes, so my schedule is open, and I’m very flexible. Just let me know what your needs are. I don’t have a yard due to living in an apartment, but I have plenty of space in my home. I feel that trust, consistency, and patience and lots of love are top priority when your fur baby is with me.

About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.

About: UPDATE: I am back to sitting September 2026. Primarily looking for overnight animal sitting or drop ins and walks, but not ongoing weekly walks. I’m not available Thanksgiving week or Christmas/New Years 2026. Thank you! Dates NOT Available: 9/8-9/13 9/17-9/20 9/23-10/1 10/8-10/11 (Columbus Day weekend) 11/22-11/29 Thanksgiving week 12/21-1/2 Christmas and New Year’s Please check calendar. Hello! I am a smart, honest, caring, thorough and responsible 40 year old woman who absolutely LOVES dogs and cats. I am originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico and have a BFA in modern dance from CalArts. I now have my own cat, my lovey Totoro. I grew up with pets, and took care of my family friend’s cats in Philadelphia for six years. I also took care of my prior roommates cats. I currently dog, cat, and house sit consistently for two clients and I’m looking for more! Because I have my own cat, I only animal/house sit near my home- Mt.Airy, Germantown, East Falls, Wyndmoor, Chestnut Hill, Lafayette Hill, Glenside, etcetera. My teaching schedule is flexible so I can usually arrange my schedule to fit the clients’ pets needs. I am extremely affectionate. You can rely on me to not only take care of your dog and cat in the standard ways like giving them food, water, and walks, but to really give them the love and attention that they need while you are away. I am also confident that if a situation arose where your animal needed care by a veterinarian that I could handle the situation effectively, efficiently, and safely. My overnight fee also includes basic home care like mail and package collection, watering plants, and any other house hold needs. All of your house sitting and pet sitting needs can be accomplished with one person. Me! :) Plus, your animals will feel more at ease with a loving human in the home. I have my own cat, so I can't board others pets, but I think it's more comfortable a lot of the time for pets to be in their familiar spaces, and am comfortable staying in and caring for people's homes. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I hope to hear from you and meet you and your beloved pet soon. Take care. Thank you for reading and considering me as your kind, reliable, loving sitter! Be well! References available upon request. Darcy Why I love dog sitting I have loved cats and dogs since I can remember! I grew up with them. My parents had a Great Dance prior to my birth, and my brother had a dog when I was a toddler. I grew up with a Bouvier, a large black sheep herding dog and many cats. She even had puppies who I helped care for until they were adopted. I was gifted a very sweet dog that was my own and helped me learn responsibility in 7th grade. My parents currently live in New Mexico and have a lovely Portuguese Water Dog, who I love dearly. Every time I see a dog on the street being walked, I want to hug it and play with it! I have always loved and had a deep appreciation for animals and their roles in humans lives. :) Dogs and cats are truly wonderful creatures! It is also important to note that I have never been afraid of large or barking dogs unless they are particularly vicious (which are far and few between). Eventually I would love to own a dog, but cannot right now, and love to love and care for other people's pets. I have administered oral medication to dogs and cats. I am willing to administer injections and other kinds of medicines.It is crucial that I get an in person, hands on demo/lesson with owner prior to their leaving town, so I know I’m doing it correctly.

Maryellen is the absolute best. She goes truly above and beyond to keep our cats happy and household running smoothly. For example, the morning before we arrived home from our trip, she did some vacuuming, took the trash out, and even brought the bins to the street because she noticed it was trash day on our block. Seriously couldn’t ask for a better, more thoughtful person to care for our cats and home while we’re away❤️

I was so grateful to have Savannah take care of my two young boy cats while I was away recently. There was a fight between the two of them and she handled it so well and with ease, separated them and was really mindful about caring for and monitoring them. She made it so much less stressful for this to happen while I was out of town. I highly recommend Savannah!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Erdenheim

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Erdenheim is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 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.

As of November 2026, there are 9,667 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Erdenheim. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Erdenheim. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
