“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“Nikki is our wild puppy’s new BFF. She takes our wacky, overboard instructions in stride, is a calming presence for our busy pup, and is a wonderful communicator before, durning and after her visits. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“I really appreciate Maya’s patience with Oreo. She took her time with the overly excited dog and built a relationship with her, and I definitely book her again! I’m glad Oreo has a new friend!”
About: I became a cat mom in 2019, and have since spent time volunteering at a cat shelter and a farm (taking care of kittens, piglets and goats!). I’ve always been drawn to animals and will take great care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule, and generally available both weekends and weekdays for a set period of time. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs! My preference is to take of pets in my client’s home, since I have a cat that does not get along easily with other animals. Depending on the duration of the pet-sitting, I can do day trips or overnights.
“Danielle was amazing. Super communicative and had no issue medicating my little brat of a feline friend. She even went ahead and watered my plants. Highly recommend booking her!”
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs ever since I was born! I am experienced caring for multiple breeds such as energetic boxers, gentle giants, and playful laborers! I am a college student who has plenty of time during the summer/semester to care for your pups! I also have transportation to get to your home! I love to be active, so your fur babies and I will enjoy long walks together, playing fetch in the backyard, or some quality time on the couch together!
About: Pets have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I've cared for my own cats and dogs as well as pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and Rover clients. Each pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs as well as kittens and adult cats. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections when needed, and I always pay close attention to each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your pets are in good hands. I currently offer House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and Dog Walking. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate booking requests whenever possible. House Sitting: My house sitting service is designed for pets who are comfortable being left alone between visits. During the day, I typically visit every 4 hours to provide potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. If you'd like overnight care, overnight stays (10:00 PM–8:00 AM) are available as a $40/night add-on through Rover. If your pet has unique needs or a different routine, please let me know before booking so we can discuss the best care plan. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I care for your home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow your pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care while helping your pet feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Safety is at the heart of every visit. I never leave dogs unattended outdoors, even in securely fenced yards. Whether we're outside for a potty break, playtime, or enjoying the fresh air, I remain with your pet at all times to ensure they're safe. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking. If I notice anything out of the ordinary or have any concerns, I'll contact you promptly. To ensure we're the right fit, I recommend scheduling a Meet & Greet before every first booking. During this time, we'll review your pet's routine, discuss any medical or behavioral needs, and answer any questions you may have. For transparency and the comfort of everyone involved, I ask that clients disclose any indoor cameras before the booking begins. Cameras are welcome in common areas for home security, but they should never be placed in bathrooms or sleeping areas where privacy is expected.
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pet for a few days knowing that Heather would be checking in on him. She shared a daily update and prior to our trip she stopped in to meet our pet and make sure she knew exactly how to best take care of him.”
About: Throughout high school, my family fostered dogs through a local rescue, where we had the opportunity to take in dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve grown up with dogs and around animals and I have always been the go to pet and house sitter for friends and family! I have taken care of my own dogs in addition to fostering dogs for about 2 years and dog sitting for families for over 3 years! I am currently a college student at Lehigh University living on campus and I do have a car, so I am more than willing to stop by and care for your pets or dog and house ist for longer times if needed! Having experience in dog sitting in addition to fostering dogs and cats, I have a good understanding of how to care for a pet and how to cater to their needs and their environment, no matter their size, temperament, or age!
“We reached out to Kim to babysit our fur babies and fish for a quick trip. She was very professional and communicated well. Met with us beforehand asked good questions and took great care of our pets! Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Hailey did such a great job with my two cats! She’s so sweet and attentive. She even washed the cat’s bowls for me! (I feed them canned food and told her I could just wash them when I got back from my weekend trip). She left my place better than what it was when I left. I will definitely re-book with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Lori was amazing with my dog, Kevin. He has separation anxiety and I was so worried about leaving him for vacation. Lori provided daily pictures and updates, and was available for communication whenever I checked in. Kevin had a great time with Lori while I was away. I will definitely be using Lori as my primary sitter !”

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 Fort Washington 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 .

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.

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.
