“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”

About: My name is Christian. I am kind, gentle, and fun loving. I will walk, run, exercise, and play fetch with your dog and care for him/her as if he/she were one of my own. I will walk any dog, any size, age, or breed. I’ve always enjoyed dogs a lot. Your dogs will have such a fun time they won’t want to leave. I am available seven days a week rain or shine and my hours are flexible. No matter what, you can count on me to walk your dog. If you require any special requests just let me know and I will see what I can do. If you need your pet washed I can do that too. I look forward to walking your dog!

About: I've always had a love for animals. People began trusting me with their furry family members in 2017 (I was around 16 at the time). I'm comfortable with some messes and helping pets that may need some extra assistance. I grew up in the Endless Mountains of Sullivan County so I don't mind traversing outside with your pet if that's what they enjoy. I am also always up for snuggling on the couch with a book or show as well if that's more your pet's vibe. I am currently a teacher in New Hope, PA. This makes it hard for me to assist with pet care during the school day, unless your pet is stable on their own for around 9 hours. I do not currently have any pets of my own. As an empath, I always prioritize trust and safety. I always try to make animals in my care as comfortable as possible. If that means allowing some extra fur on my bedsheets, or sitting alone on a chair while they lay near a distant window, so be it! My main goal is always to keep your pet as happy and healthy as possible in the best way for them.

“Marian was fantastic with our Great Dane Stache. We never saw her take to anyone like she did with Marian. We felt she was in good hands with wonderful care all week! Thanks Marian!”

About: Hi! I’ve live with dogs since I was six and am very comfortable with big and small dogs. I’ve trained puppies from 8 weeks of age and have also worked with very sick dogs and have experience giving medication including injections and fluids. I am a huge animal lover and I know how hard it is to find someone you trust to provide care for your pet. Trust in me to give your dog boatloads of lovin and create a safe environment for them. Currently switching to part time work to create a more flexible work schedule for me and my fur baby! As long as there’s notice I can make myself available any day or time that’s needed. I have a multi room apartment that can be sectioned off easily with access to big walking trails right outside. Plus I have a fully vaccinate and well behave Mini Aussie to keep your babies company.
“Nikki was great with our dog Otter! She was able to schedule a drop-in last minute and saved the day. She was punctual, communicative and took great care of our guy giving me peace of mind while I was not home.”


“Morgan is such a sweetheart!! This was my first time leaving my cats with someone and she really made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. Great communication and I loved reading her notes during her check ins. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Morgan!”

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: I am an elementary school teacher. So, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am and what I value. I won’t just watch your pet, I will love each furry friend like it’s my own. I love being active, nurturing others (including 4 legged friends), I’m very organized and punctual, and just helping is my passion. My Weekly Availability 🐾 I offer flexible daytime and evening care throughout the week and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! Monday: Midday (12:00 PM – 2:30 PM) & evening (after 5:30 PM) Tuesday: Open availability with a short afternoon break (2:30 PM – 5:30 PM) Wednesday: Unavailable Thursday: Morning through early afternoon (until 3:00 PM) Friday: Limited availability upon request I tend to book up quickly between nannying, especially for recurring walks and visits, so feel free to reach out to reserve your spot—I’m always happy to work with your schedule when I can! I do not have pets at my own apartment, but at my parents house we have 4 dogs that I have loved and cared for for years! Dogs are such a comfort to me, so in return I always aim to create the most loving, comforting, safe environment for each pet I encounter.
“Lynda and her daughter Abigail were great! She came over a few weeks before for a meet and greet which was awesome. She followed all of my directions and my dogs had a blast. Looking forward to using them in the future.”

“Trederica was wonderful! Kept me updated with pictures every visit & accommodated all my needs when it came to my fur baby, would absolutely book her again.”

About: I grew up with the most incredible yorkie-poo for 16 years, and I’ve been filling the void by following way too many dog Instagram accounts. I really miss having a dog around, so your dog will get a lot of attention and be in great hands. I’ve looked after pit bulls, a Shar-Pei, doodles, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and mixed breeds of all sizes. Whether your dog is big, little, high-energy, anxious, stubborn, or just wants a buddy nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I may find it hard to get work done because I’ll probably spend too much time hanging out with your dog. And if they’re into people food, I’ll respectfully disappoint them unless you tell me otherwise. I’m in a flexible stretch right now, doing job-search work, contract work, and projects mostly from home. That means I can usually build my day around walks, drop-ins, or hanging with your pet. I’m best for weekday daytime care, evenings, and some weekends with a little notice. If I have an interview, work call, or trip coming up, I’ll be upfront before booking so there are no surprises. I’m pretty careful and communicative by default. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep dogs leashed unless you explicitly say otherwise, double-check doors/gates, and send updates so you know your pet is good. I’m not going to freestyle with food, treats, medications, dog parks, or anything that could create a weird situation. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since a very young age and worked at a shelter before. At the shelter I have experience bathing the animals, feeding them, and also cleaning out their kennels. I’m a student looking to help out between classes. I am available for the days but also nights. I live in a pet free home so I can also take care of them from home if necessary I have lots of experience taking care of dogs ranging from just a puppy to elderly. I am available to walk, feed, and play with them and follow all necessary specific instructions for care.

“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 !”
About: Hello and welcome! With a fur baby of my own, I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I go above and beyond to make sure that your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy snuggles on the couch, or quiet walks in my neighborhood, your pet will feel right at home and get 5-star treatment! ⭐️ and lots of pictures of course! 📸 I have grown up my whole life taking care of dogs and cats and love bringing the joy of animals into my home. I have a large house, large backyard, and live in a quiet walk friendly neighborhood with close access to walking paths and parks. Every pet will be treated like family and I will give them personalized attention and adapt routines to their needs to ensure a stress-free environment. I have experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and can administer medication if needed. My dog is my first child and I will treat yours like one of my own 💛 I work mostly at home and sometimes in the office. My schedule is very flexible so I will modify my schedule to fit your pets needs! I have a large yard and a super friendly senior dog to keep your dog company. If your dog has a crate or bed I have plenty space for it in my home. My home is their home so they are more than welcome to snuggles on the couch or bed (if ok with you!). Safety is my top priority. I am comfortable with all dog temperaments and will adjust routines as needed for your pets individual needs and behavior.

About: I have been the happy sibling to Marley, a precious pug who lived to be 19 years of age. His hibernation-like lifestyle may have contributed to his long, happy life, but I think my care was definitely a factor too. During the pandemic, I finally got a copilot of my own. Earl Grey is a small chi-weenie rescue who has been such a light in my life. Dogs really bring me such joy and I would love to offer care to pups in my free time. I am a respectful, responsible, and hard-working individual. I have been pet-sitting for my friends and family for years, and would be more than happy to continue this work. I am very comfortable with all dogs. I'm also familiar with several training strategies so will not disrupt your dog's training. I do warn you though I may try to teach them to high five. 🙃 I’m currently working park time while I prepare for my phD studies next year. I’ll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups. While my current housing does not permit me to do boarding. I’m happy to commute to a client’s home to take care of their pet. I do take my dog to dog parks for socializing quite often and gladly offer this for all pup owners too.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Washington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
