“Jacqueline took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. We would be happy to have Jacqueline care for our cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
About: Hi! I’m Sarah. As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I treat every dog like they're family and make sure they get plenty of love while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. I currently have a young pup of my own, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and the importance of creating a safe, positive environment. I am currently working remote at home. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I have a big fenced in yard and a friendly dog for good company. We live in a quiet family friendly neighborhood surrounded by sidewalks.
“Jennifer was a great babysitter- always filled me in and took the cutest pictures of my cat and hamster. She was reliable and responsive I am definitely going to hire her again for all my trips!”
About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I have over a year of experience with Wag, where I maintain a 5-star rating for reliable, loving pet care. In the past, I’ve worked with both a senior dogs and a puppies, handling daily walks, feeding, keeping them clean, and engaging them in play with toys and activities. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved, just like family. My schedule is highly flexible. I’m available during weekdays, weekends and most holidays. I’m able to stay overnight or for long periods of time as needed. I love to keep up the daily habits and schedule of the dog within the owner’s home. Create a seamless transition from pet parent to myself, so that there would be no gaps in care.
“Destinee is #1 in my books. She has "dropped in" on my dog since she was a puppy (still is) and has given her great care. I have no worries when I know Dedtinee is coming. My dog is very high energy and still a pup and Destinee has always embraced her and played and played. I always feel most comfortable when Deztinee is coming cause I know Baikey will get great care and receive tons of love!”
“Such amazing service!!!! She was so kind, helpful, and did much more than I asked for. Super professional and resolved my kitty’s needs also accommodating to his comfort :), thank you lots Catherine!!!”
“We originally booked Olivia to watch our 2 kittens while we were away on vacation starting the 25th, but realized we'd be gone all day the 24th (the day we left) so we rushed to contact her late on the 23rd. She was very quick to respond and kind enough to add us to her schedule for the 24th at the last moment. She truly made us feel much better about leaving for vacation. And she came as promised and took care of our furry babies.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.
“Amy was wonderful. She was affectionate and you could tell that she loved animals. She sent pictures of my puppy when she got there and while she was playing . I would recommend Amy and I will use her again.”
“I hate leaving my senior dog for any amount of time because she’s used to me being home all day with her. I had a weekend trip that I needed to take and I scheduled a few drop ins with Robyn (my son handled the overnight). I could not be happier. The updates and pics were amazing and I did not have to worry while I was away. She’s the best and was just what we needed! She even handled my crazy cat with no issues!”

“Melissa was great! We needed someone to let our golden retriever out during the day while at work. Melissa showed up exactly when we scheduled her to, and sent lots pictures and videos which showed how happy our dog was to see her. She communicated very well during the visit and made sure she took care of everything we needed. We're definitely already looking to book her again for the next time we need dog care!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and did over night visits. For friends and family. I also have taken care of puppies that were 6 months. I’m currently working part time at Costco. I normally work night shift and have two days off. I could walk dogs in the morning or at night I normally feed them twice a day once in the morning and the other at night. I would walk them three or four times a day. I would then take them outside to either play or run around in a safe environment.

Madeline was fantastic for caring for our dog Mason. We had a great meet and greet and she brought treats that Mason instantly fell in love. Madeline provided great progress reports and dropped in on Mason at the scheduled times. We appreciate her care and attention she gave Mason and will book her again!
We are so lucky to have found Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Marnie. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and I could tell she was taking care of our dog like she was her own. She was reliable and I could enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog or my house. Will DEFINITELY be using Rachel to watch Marnie in the future.
Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.

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 Folcroft 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.

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 Folcroft with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
