“We couldn't be happier with the care she provided to our cats. Kia's dedication and attention to detail truly set her apart, making our vacation worry-free and our cats content. She was punctual, provided daily correspondence and photos, and established a routine for our pets, minimizing any stress they might have experienced due to our absence. Kia demonstrated a genuine love for animals, evident in the exceptional care she provided. From cleaning the litter box to ensuring they were well-fed, she went above and beyond to meet our cats' needs. One particularly noteworthy aspect of Kia's service was her willingness to tackle unexpected challenges. Unfortunately, one of our cats had an upset stomach during our absence, leading to an unpleasant mess. Not only did Kia clean up the mess promptly, but she also ensured that the affected area was thoroughly sanitized, leaving our home as clean as she found it. Communication was also a strong point in Kia's service. She kept us informed about each visit, providing updates on our cats' behavior and well-being. This thoughtful gesture helped ease any concerns we had about being so far away from our beloved pets. In concluiosn, Kia's cat sitting services exceeded our expectations. Her reliability, genuine care, and ability to handle unforeseen circumstances make her a top-notch choice for anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kia to anyone looking for a responsible and caring individual to look after their furry friends. Our cats were in good hands, and we are grateful for the peace of mind she provided during our time away.”
About: Hey! I'm a dog lover with tons of experience taking care of pups of all kinds. Your furry friend will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and attention while you’re away. You can count on me & my husband to keep your dog happy and safe until you’re back!🤍🐶 My schedule now days... I am a work-from-home mama who is available all week long and would love to spend more time taking care of pets. Environment… I do have a friendly pup boy 🐶 with a lot of energy so we are always having fun at home and going for walks. Always a happy, safe, and comfy place✨.
About: I have worked with puppies, senior dogs and in between. Training experience with multiple breeds and will love them as if were my own. Available for any animal, not limited to dogs. I am typically available by appointment as I have a very flexible, work from home career. Occasionally I am free immediately, no harm in asking. I am versatile with any upbringing strategy the owner prefers. If there are specific rules or training methods they are working toward, I will help cross the finish line. If they just want someone to keep their best friend happy and safe, I can do that too.
“Sima was a life-saver!! My husband and I had planned on going home to my parents over the Thanksgiving holiday but we had an unanticipated emergency and so our plans changed fairly last minute. We couldn’t take our fur baby with us as planned. I contacted Sima a few days before we were to leave and she was so reassuring and sweet. My baby kitty is literally like my child and I hate leaving her. Sima was so cute with her, like she had known my kitty for years!! They played, cuddled, and Sima sent me a bunch of darling pictures and videos of my baby!! I really appreciated that. I could tell my cat was really happy to see her and was having a great time. Sima is wonderful and I highly recommend her services!”
“Our large dog leans towards the aggressive side, but Justin seems to have the touch when it comes to animals. Our dog immediately treated him like family from the first meet and greet. Justin's calm demeanor really provided our separation anxiety tendency pup real comfort. I will be going through Justin for every future sit need.”
About: I've had pets in my life from a young age and as soon as I was able got my own dogs and never looked back. I can't imagine my life without a dog (or 2 or 3). I have taken my dogs to training classes and have learned a lot about dog behavior. I enjoy taking my dogs out to the park or walking the neighborhood. I also foster dogs at times and this has been such a rewarding experience for me. I currently work full time at home and am able to care for my animals through out the day. I utilize my lunch break to take them for a walk. I have a fenced in yard that allows my dogs to be free and play outside. I also have crates in the house if the dogs prefer some alone time. I am familiar with dogs of all personalities and am able to give them what they need while in my care.
About: Hi! I'm Jacqui, and I've always loved being around animals. I understand that pets are family, so I believe they deserve patience, kindness, and lots of attention while you're away. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions, whether that's administering medications, sticking to feeding schedules, taking long walks, or giving extra playtime and cuddles. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Professionally, I work in a role where trust, communication, and reliability are essential, so you can count on me to provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your booking. I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your pet. I welcome dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to accommodate their unique routines and needs. My goal is simple: to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they have a fun, comfortable, and stress-free experience. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I work full time from home. So I have the flexibility any day of the week and time of day for walks, overnights, and weekends. I have a backyard and front yard, and my neighborhood is walkable for extended time outside. I also have a cat who is 4 years old, so my home is welcome to any pets that get alone with others if an overnight stay is desired.
About: Prior to moving to Philadelphia for graduate school, I walked with Rover for 4 years with regular scheduled walks and house sitting. I am familiar with all variety of sizes, breed , and energy levels . I am most skilled at working with larger dogs and high energy dogs. My love of dogs began growing up with two goldens. One a 85 pound male, chase the mailman type and a 45 pound female, who wouldn’t touch wet grass. For this , I am understanding, patience, and kind with pets personalities. My partner also has pit/mastiff mix and I am skilled with understanding different leash leading types. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I am open to regularly scheduled walks and open to same-day visits. If I were House/Pet sitting, I would ensure a morning and evening walk. This would also include ensuring your furry family gets the love and affection it needs. I care for your house as if it is mine and ensure that any kind of pet mishaps are properly taken care of with your preferred products prior to your return .

“Angela was a life saver for me and my cat! My flight back to town got canceled and I needed a same-day sitter on short notice. She responded fast, communicated during the visit, and gave Sweet Pea lots of care and attention. I would absolutely recommend her and book with her again!”
“This is the second time we've used Razion to watch our cat, Taco Nacho. He has really impressed us with his care of our cat. Taco loves to be outside, and Razion took him for walks several times during the week. We were give daily updates on food, water and poop, as well as a picture of our cat, so we could see how well he was being cared for.”
“Talia did a great job for us! She even brought in our packages which weren’t supposed to be delivered when she was there! Gabby warmed up to her at the greeting, which is not a normal thing for Gabby!”
“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”
About: As the proud owner of a Chihuahua and Shiba Inu mix, I have a deep appreciation for canine boundaries and body language! My own dog prefers his personal space and isn't a fan of meeting new dogs or people, which has taught me how to be a strong advocate for a pup's comfort and safety in public. Because of this, I am highly attentive to subtle stress signals and always let new furry friends warm up to me entirely at their own pace. I never force interaction. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or a sensitive soul who needs someone to respect their boundaries and advocate for them on walks, I will ensure they feel safe, respected, and completely understood. I juggle part-time work and veterinary assistant studies, which actually leaves my schedule wide open and flexible to care for your dog! This makes me highly available for mid-day potty breaks, weekday walks, and open to last-minute booking requests. I am easily available for dedicated overnight house-sitting and extended daytime companionship. I offer a low-stress, highly secure environment where your dog's well-being comes first. My home features a fully fenced-in backyard for safe exercise and built-in entertainment like bird and squirrel watching. When house-sitting, I maintain your dog's exact routine in the comfort of their own environment. I follow strict supervision and home security protocols, keep you updated with daily photos, and ensure your house is left perfectly clean.
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have been a lover of all animals since I was very young. Friends, family and neighbors always rely on me to take care of their pets when they go on vacations or for daily walks! I am currently a graduate student who has a flexible schedule which allows me to be able to spend my free time caring and playing for your pets! I will not be offering pet care in my home due to having two cats already. My one cat is very shy and does not like new people or animals around so I wouldn’t want to stress her out!
About: I have been looking into doing petsitting for some time now and I know that from prior experience with pets and volunteer work, I am able to provide your pets’ needs in any way possible. I’m currently doing a art class until the 20th and is volunteering at the cat cafe from time to time so my availability may vary. I would clean up litters from my cats’ litter boxes and give food to them. I have been a volunteer at a cat cafe that a friend of mine was a part of for a while now. We would clean the cats’ litter boxes, food bowls, make sure that the cats are fed, and straighten up the cafe along with organizing the cats’ toys so it’s easy for the cats to navigate.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Folcroft
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and caring with both our dog and cats. She followed our instructions perfectly, arrived exactly when requested, and did an excellent job taking care of all our pets. Rachel was dependable, punctual, respectful, and genuinely kind to our animals. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. We will absolutely use her again!
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!!
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Breanna! She has known Harper since we moved to Media three years ago, and over that time, she has become such a constant, caring presence in our lives. She has followed us through one house move and even two pregnancies, always showing Harper the same incredible level of love and attention. Breanna goes so far above and beyond what you could ever expect from a dog walker. Her updates and notes show just how closely she pays attention to Harper and how genuinely invested she is in her well-being. We always feel completely confident knowing Harper is in her care. And somehow, she manages to make our lives a little easier, too. She’ll bring in our mail and packages, and on more than one occasion, she’s even put away a loaf of bread I accidentally left sitting on the counter after a hectic morning with my two boys. Breanna is reliable, kind, attentive, trustworthy, and truly treats Harper like her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with their whole heart. Harper absolutely adores her, and so do we!
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.
Destinee was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met her, we knew our dogs were in great hands. She was warm, personable, and truly treated our pets like her own. While we were out of town, she went above and beyond—daily check-ins, thoughtful updates, and the sweetest photos that made us feel connected even from miles away. Our dogs adored her, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave them. She was also extremely respectful of our home, leaving everything just as we left it. That level of professionalism combined with genuine love for animals is rare, and Destinee exceeded every expectation. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. It’s such a relief to know someone like Destinee can care for our pets so well when we’re away. She truly went way over and above!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Folcroft is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 9,065 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Folcroft. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
