“Amazing. I feel less stressed booking future trips knowing I can count on Kaliah to take thoughtful care of my very anxious cats. Both cats took to her right away and that is not usual for either of them. She did a wonderful job. I’m so grateful!”
About: Hi! I’m Shannon, a graduate student with several years of hands-on pet care experience, including 5 months of paid dog walking and ongoing pet sitting/boarding for repeat clients. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently care for my own pets, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animal. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also have experience with senior pets, administering medication, and following routines and schedules. You can expect consistent updates and photos, dependable, on-time care, and a safe environment. I’m currently a graduate student with a generally flexible schedule. While I have some weekly commitments, I do my best to accommodate pet care needs and can often adjust my availability when needed. I’m especially available for evenings, weekends, and will have increased flexibility during the summer months! I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. I ensure pets are fed, hydrated, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor their behavior and well-being to make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
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!
“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: 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.
“Christopher took fantastic care of our 3 cats while we were away. They have different personalities, one thinks he is king, one is the bridge builder, and one is very shy. Christopher befriended all three and coaxed the shy one out of her hiding place. I highly recommend Christopher and will definitely try to book him again.”
About: I've owned and been around a variety of dog breeds, ages, and temperaments since I 10 years old. My family has owned mini schnauzers (including rescuing senior dogs), large breed hunting dogs, and Shepard breeds. I know the importance of maintaining a schedule, keeping high energy dogs exercised, and reinforcing training techniques for the breeds mentioned above. I also am able to give medications (both oral and injectable), and care for dogs after surgery (I volunteered with my grandad who is a veterinarian at shelters and assisted with minor surgeries and after surgery care). I just finished up college, and applying for another program. My schedule is pretty open allowing me to meet the needs of your pets, keeping them on a similar schedule while you are away As I've mentioned, I know the importance of exercising and maintaining a schedule and will keep to the routine of your pet. I also love cuddling and just spending time with animals.
“Amanda far exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all respects. She clearly loves animals and bonded with our Lippy and Emmy, while attending to their every need, including Lippy’s meds. Knowing things were being handled so well allowed us to fully enjoy our trip with no worries at all. She is the best!”
“Si yeon was great. I forgot to update Rover with my new address. She went to my old address. Totally my fault. I gave her the new address and told her to just go the next day but she insisted that she felt bad for my kitties and went straight over to the correct address to feed them. I would highly recommended Si yeon. She cares about animals and did a wonderful job.”
About: Hi! I grew up with cats since I was a baby. I have experience from kitten to older cats. I also have experience with dogs. I have watched a family member’s dog when needed. I have experience with puppy to older dogs. Hi, I am currently working at a school in Dresher. I’m available during the week till 10:00am and then after 6:30PM. And I’m available all day on the weekends! I cannot watch dogs at mine and can only go to you due to my lease agreement. I am more than happy to house sit and/or walk your pets!
“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.”
“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.”
“Thanks Lori for your wonderful care of Bowie over the Holidays, I know Bowie loves your visits and care you provide Bowie, he is so happy to see you each time you come to care for him”
“Ryan was an amazing sitter. My cats absolutely loved him, and they never like people they have never met especially when we aren’t home. Ryan was timely, followed directions to a tee, and went above and beyond to make sure the house was in order knowing our one cat had litter box issues. I highly recommend Ryan for any sitting needs.”
About: I had 3 dogs of my own over the years. I have done dog sitting, walking, and driving to daycare and grooming for my neighbors and friends. I’m currently working part-time but I am an empty nester so I have a very flexible schedule to play and take care of your pets. I will follow the owner’s instructions on how they would like me to care for their pet while in their home and outside their home.
“McKayla was awesome! Our cats love her and she took such good care of them! We will definitely be asking her to help again in the future! She sent tons of pictures and responded quickly too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I've had a variety of animals my entire life: dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, the occasional hermit crab. We have housed friends/family dogs while they were out of town. I am comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I work FT in Plymouth Meeting and can easily come for a lunch potty break, if needed. My husband is typically home 2-days during the week as well. Our home is situated behind the horsham power line trail opting for long walks. The backyard is fitted for short runs to play fetch. I have two kids aged 6 and 7 who are helpful, loving and have been exposed to dogs of all sizes! They are in summer camp 5 days a week and will be away from the house during the week and home on weekends. I have a fenced yard and a 9-year old lover of a Boxer, female. We just lost our male a few weeks ago and she would be more than happy to be a companion for your pupper. For drop-ins, I am a safe, reliable driver that would be happy to play in a backyard, take for walks, or go to the dog park.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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 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 Fort Washington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
