“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!”
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.
“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.”
About: In addition to growing up with dogs and a cat, I've provided drop-in and overnight care for family, friends, professors, and other clients since high school. I have a calm and kind personality that I find sets even anxious or shy pets at ease. I am just getting started on Rover in the Philly area after pet-sitting in Colorado, and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! My full-time job is WFH, so I am free before and after work and between meetings on weekdays as well as most evenings and weekends. In my mind, there's no better break during a long day on the computer than taking a pup for a walk or getting some good pets in! I currently care for pets in clients' homes only. It's important to me to maintain the routine your pet is comfortable with in terms of timing/duration of walks, meals, playtime, etc. I'm excited to talk about you and your pets' needs and how I can meet them!
About: I am looking forward to hosting dogs in my house. I have a 4 year old dog I recently adopted. He enjoys having other dogs come to visit! I'm a teacher so I am home weeknights and weekends to care for and play with your dogs. Your dog can sleep in my room or can be crated if that is preferred. I am also excited to explore my new neighborhood with dog walks in the evenings. I have recently moved to a new home that has a small front yard. There are trails nearby that I can use for dog walks.
“Henry ❤️ Bryn! She took great care of him while we were on vacation. In addition to feeding and other basic care, she was his play companion and advocate. She sent us daily “action shots” that show Henry joyfully playing cat soccer, catch, and hide and seek with her. She also payed close attention to how he responded to the feeding schedule. When it seemed he was hungrier than expected, she messaged us to discuss giving him a bit more food each day. Henry and his people enthusiastically recommend Bryn for cat care!”
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.
“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.”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Very pleased with excellent time management and such a pleasant demeanor exhibited by Morgan especially since she has to take care of a senior dog. Much appreciated and wish you the best.”
“Couldn’t be happier with Shelby. She was gentle with my cats and is a genuinely caring pet sitter. Even though my big guy refused to engage (our girl cat liked her) photos assured me my fur babies were well taken care of. She communicated well and accommodated a last minute holiday request. 10/10 would use her again!🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Danielle is amazing! Super communicative and helpful. She gives useful tips and recommendations, and will go above and beyond too. Would book her again and again (and we have).”
About: I have absolutely loved all animals all my life! I currently have a one year old lab mix. He is a fun and energetic pup who loves all other dogs he meets. He is a great play mate. I currently live in a pet friendly apartment with a small dog park and neighborhoods for walks. I currently work from home so I am able to hangout with your pup all day! I am a nurse working remotely, so I am home every day and can hangout with your pup! My dog is very energetic and loves walks and playtime, so your pup will get plenty of exercise if that’s what they want! We also allow pets on furniture and have big dog beds for the pups who prefer to relax 😊 I live in a two bedroom apartment that has easy access to grass, a dog park, and neighborhoods to go on walks. Since I work from home I can take dogs out as much as needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Washington
Emma was absolutely amazing! She stopped by daily to care for our cats and give one of our fur babies her daily pill. She was also kind enough to bring in the mail, so I didn't have to alert the Post Office, and maintain the litter boxes. It was so nice not to have to stress or worry about their care while we were away for the week. I felt completely comfortable giving Emma access to our home. Would definitely book Emma again the next time we go on vacay. Thank you Emma!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Washington is $11 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $13 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 October 2026, there are 9,770 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Washington. 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
