About: I have taken care and loved all ages of dogs my whole life. From owning them to watching the neighbors and friends. I have also worked in a professional setting for about 5+ years and have had experience caring for all different breeds and their specific individual needs. In addition, I have training experience with Penn Vet Working Dog Center as well as some classes I attended at a training school! I’m grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and all the ones waiting to be had! I have currently care for 3 different types of animals (cat, gecko, and turtle!) I did have a dog as well however she sadly passed recently. I am able to crate dogs as well as provide medications and keep up with dietary restrictions. I am able to walk as well as play and spend time with the pups! For cats I am able to scoop litter and give as many or as little cuddles as the cat may enjoy! I’m good with feeding as well as administering meds to cats
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.
“Ally was so great with our pets and they instantly took to her during our first meet and greet! She was super communicative and did a great job caring for them while we were out :)”
“Lucy is WONDERFUL. I booked her for nightly drop in visits with my 2 pups while I was away. She came over to meet them ahead of time and they immediately loved her. The notes and pictures she provided from each visit were awesome and really put my mind at ease while I was away. Just a pleasure to work with.”
“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”
“Heather did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. She was very kind & flexible re: our need to change our plans twice b/c of illness, which we really appreciated. We plan to book her again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Si Yeon as our cat sitter! She showed genuine care and attention toward our cat, Rina — taking time to play, give cuddles, and keep her routine consistent. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, Rina was relaxed and happy — a true testament to the wonderful care she received. We would absolutely recommend Si Yeon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional cat sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Savanah is great! She has a good rapport with the dogs, who seem to really like her, and she's very conscientious. She also communicates well: she responds promptly and does a great job of taking photos and sending updates. Highly recommend.”
“Angelina is smart, caring, thoughtful, and thorough. We have two older cats that we knew were in good care while we were away. I would highly recommend Angelina to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have taken care of family and friends animals. I helped train both of the dogs that I currently have and take care of. I work part time as a waitress so I can help on my days off or before and after I work. I can stop by or take your pets for a longer walk. I have a fenced in back yard and there is no food out, both of my dogs are very friendly and play well with others.
About: Currently the "sister" to a six year old Cavapoo dog whom I have pet sat multiple times in my home for my parents. I have helped walk my neighbor's rescue dog (who has anxiety, but seems to get along well with me). I was a regular cat sitter for a family friend (responsibilities included twice daily feeding, cleaning of the litter box, and making sure he was let in and out of the house). I truly believe our pets are furry family members who deserve all the love and personal care, so rest assured your fluffy (or fuzzy) friend will be in good hands with me! I am a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule. In addition to my experience with dogs and cats, I also owned a Betta fish who lived for four years. I am responsible for the care of the family dog when my parents are out of town. This includes everything from walking and feeding to playtime and couch nap supervision (which he loves). I lovingly refer to him as my four-legged baby brother and treat him accordingly! (Not currently offering boarding.)
“Cathy was all I could have hoped for in a caregiver for my sweet kitty. She was loving and followed my directions carefully. Philly was happy to see me when I got home, but calm and content. She had eaten her normal amount of food and Cathy sent pics of Philly playing! The pics were very reassuring. Thank you Cathy.”
About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. With over 14 years of hands-on pet care experience, two degrees in Animal Science, and fostering rescue dogs, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, shy rescues, and dogs with special medical or behavioral needs. As a manager in an animal care environment, attention to detail, safety, and animal welfare are at the center of everything I do. Whether your pet needs a comfortable place to stay, daily exercise, medication administration, or extra patience and reassurance while you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. Because I keep my boarding services small and personalized, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a pet-friendly home and years of experience caring for dogs through fostering, rescue work, and my educational background in animal science. I carefully introduce dogs, monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions, and can accommodate crate-trained dogs. I keep a low number of boarders at a time to ensure every dog receives individualized attention, exercise, and a stress-free environment.
“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've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fort Washington on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,160 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Washington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Washington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
