“Excellent work as always! Barbara is always responsive and flexible, which I particularly appreciated during this hectic week. I always appreciate too how she cleans out the cat food bowls at the end of each visit.”
“Paz is so great! During our meet & greet she was super thorough, took great notes, and asked great questions. I knew my diabetic cat was in good hands with her. Will be booking her again!”
About: I have experience with many animals from working at a vet in the past. I have owned cats and a dog. I have pet sit for several families including caring for a bunny I currently work part time so I have lots of availability to care for your pets. Besides caring for my own pets I have cared for several families pets while they were away I can make several drop ins during the day to care for your pets. I can also walk your dogs and/or play with your pets in your home.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life I've had to attend dog behavioral training classes with multiple dogs over the years of owning them with family. As an adult I've never had the privilege of owning my own dog only cats. But I've always been the one to help family members when they go away walks & pet siting. I work in the elder care system but trying to find a balance of Harmony. With my active lifestyle and fond affection for The Great outdoors I miss the company of dogs I don't have the means or time to own my own I would like an opportunity to be able to explore new areas of my local neighborhood and getting exercise. I do care for a cat though, she is not my own. But she is welcomed in my apartment she owns this house. And I only just pay the rent.
“Catherine was very professional. We hired her to do a drop in visit for our cat while we were away. She listened to our needs and followed instructions closely. We were very satisfied and would not hesitate to book her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Giana, and I’ve always loved animals. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including large and small dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, crate routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I work full time, but I’m available on my days off (Monday and Thursday) with more flexibility. On my work days, I’m available before 12 PM to provide care, attention, and support for your fur babies. I care for my pets by providing daily meals, fresh water, exercise, love, and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every day.
About: Hello my name is Gia! I am currently a surgery tech at an animal shelter. I have always enjoyed caring for my own as well as family and friends pets to help out when needed. Because of my job I am experienced with all sorts of animals and their medical needs, temperaments and personalities. I am fear free certified which just means I am able to adapt my care approach better for all sorts of situations! I’ve always had a love for caring for animals weather they're my own or belong to someone else no matter how tedious or difficult their specific care may be. I enjoy dedicating my time to providing care for others animals in and outside of work, I can just never get enough. I do currently work full time so unfortunately I'm only able to care for others pets on the weekends as well as spend some time with my own. I will treat all animals like they are my own providing the absolute best care possible. Not only are you trusting me with your pet, but your home as well which is why I’d take extra precautions to make sure everything is set and secure not only for you but your pet.
“Really cared for the cats, great communicator, and kind person! It was so nice to go away knowing the cats would not only be cared for but they would be cuddled and loved! Could not recommend her more!!”
About: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!
“Therese was awesome! She toon a last minute job over the holidays which I am super thankful of. She sent pictures and checked in with great info everyday. She even helped me with some package issues I was having. I would book her again. Thanks, Therese!”
About: I know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies when you're away from home, which is why I strive to provide top-notch daytime care. Whether I'm popping in for a drop-in visit or taking them out for some fresh air, my services include: feeding and medication per the pet parent’s instructions, plenty of walks, play time, and lots of cuddles (if they’re okay with that!) with photo updates throughout my visit. As an animal shelter volunteer, I especially have experience with cats, including kittens as young as 2 weeks old. Since I have recently moved to Philadelphia my availability is now completely open, which works out perfectly for scheduling visits! Any scheduling discrepancies will be communicated ASAP. My approach to pet care is centered on safety and maintaining a stress-free routine. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by double checking locks and removing potential hazards.
“Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Super sweet and really flexible with me! 100% would recommend to any cat or dog owners! Very experienced and knowledgeable. Very caring, sends frequent updates, an 11/10 experience! 💞”
About: Experience with caring for and grooming senior pets and kittens. I’m also pretty crafty about getting pets who are reluctant to do it to eat their food/take their meds. Looking for stable work at the moment, in the mean time I’m available for petsitting, housesitting. Can do NY or Philadelphia and most places in between. I’m good at interacting with pets and feeling out how much interaction they want and when to give them space. I try to get creative with playing with them if possible.
About: I don’t have any experience with dogs, and it is hard for me to watch them. I perfect a cat more than dogs. Thank you! I currently work full time remotely and have the privilege of being very flexible with my time. I can work with your schedule, and see what fits. I am very hands on and pay attention to a lot of details when it comes to pets and want to make sure they have the best care possible.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Folcroft
Callie was so kind and so accommodating!! My husband and I booked her last minute to watch our pets while we were at our wedding, and she was so kind and flexible with our last minute request. She also took her time to make sure our dog, Maddie, was comfortable with her being in our home, which we really appreciated, because our dog can be a little nervous when meeting new people. She also was great with her updates of our pets and was super communicative!! We would definitely recommend Callie to anyone!! We will definitely be booking with her again!!
Jacqueline went above and beyond for taking care my cats while I am gone. She did everything thing I asked for and beyond, even took out the pxxp bags or helped me look around for my cat's medication when i forgot where I kept. She truly care my pets as her own. I'll definitely book with her.
Rachel was an amazing sitter for my cats! My eldest recently became diabetic and this was the first time I left him since his diagnosis. She came on time every day, twice a day to give him his insulin and sent lots of pictures which gave me reassurance. Highly recommend!
Robyn is an absolute delight to us! She takes her job even more seriously than I could expect, and goes above and beyond in all ways. She is so good at caring for all our pets, kitty, toad, and turtle. Then she gives corn to the deer that come through our property! She follows every instruction perfectly, and is extra conscientious. We are so happy to have her help us when we are away!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carismeldi was absolutely wonderful with Freddy! I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she followed all of my instructions. She sent me lots of updates, which I loved and which made me feel so comfortable knowing Freddy was in good hands. Her communication was great, and it was clear to me that she genuinely cared about him and took great care of him while I was away. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Freddy and would happily have her watch him again!
So grateful to have Kaylee watch our cat once again. We got very detailed updates about her every visit, and she was very content by the time we got home, which was a huge relief. Kaylee takes incredible care of our pets and our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lyra & giving us peace of mind! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,514 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Folcroft. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
