“I was so very comforted knowing that Paola was checking on my baby girls while I was away. This was my first time doing an overnight, but Paola made sure everyone was comfy and tired and cared for. Her communication is excellent 😊”
“Amy was absolutely amazing! Made me feel completely at ease to leave my 13 year old Maltipoo in her hands. She also had me fill out paperwork for more detail on Stella which was amazing that I didn’t have to think to leave instructions! We will be using Amy again for Stella for sure!”
“Jessica is the best! She is reliable, so easy to work with, and always quick to respond. And she is so great with my cat! Jessica really loves animals and makes sure they get lots of love and cuddles. I feel so lucky to have found Jessica, she is truly amazing!”
“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I adored my puppy for nearly 13 years and I trained her as a puppy. I also had two dachshunds that I raised as puppies. I have dogs sat for many friends and I cared for each as if they were my own. Dogs feel comfortable with me immediately. I am retired and have full availability to be with your dog all day. I only need a couple of days notice to be available. I cannot have dogs at my apartment at this time as I live in a place where dogs are only allowed if they are service dogs. I can stay in your dog’s environment so they feel safe and comfortable.
“Dani did a wonderful job taking care of our three cats and we would happily request her again. She followed all instructions and the kitties clearly enjoyed being with her. She was also easy to communicate with and kept us updated through Rover and text messages.”
“David did a phenomenal job in taking great care of our cats while we our away. He ensured that he got all the details needed to take care of our cats and provided us with all the latest photos and updates. This gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats felt so happy and comfortable with him.”
“Stephanie was great - very available and responsive, kept me up to date every day we were gone (even when that was days of mostly “the food magically disappeared overnight and poop appeared in the correct place, so I’m confident your invisible cat is alive”), and extremely flexible when I texted her in a panic asking her to do something extra for me. And I was never less than highly confident that she’d take great care of him.”
“Kayleigh did an excellent job with my Sophia. She met her in advance so she would feel comfortable with her. My cat seems happy and content upon my arrival back from vacation. Highly recommend!!!”

About: 🐾 Hey there! I’m Kay. Dog lover, snuggler, and your pup’s next best friend! I’m in my 30’s with 25+ years of experience caring for dogs — especially small breeds like miniature schnauzers (my specialty!). I also have experience with: Senior pups ✔️ Rescues ✔️ Dogs with medical needs ✔️ ❗ Please note: I’m not a trainer, so I may not be the right fit for dogs with behavioral issues or aggressive tendencies — safety first! I offer: 🦴 Walks 🐶 Drop-ins 🏡 Overnight stays Let’s chat about what your pup needs — I’d love to be part of their care routine! 💬🐕 I currently work full time, normal business hours (9am-5pm). I’m mostly available on the weekends and sporadically during the week in the evenings. If you reach out, I’ll try my best to fit your needs. Pets in my home get treated like family. I have a fenced in backyard and a huge park behind my home- perfect for walks, play or even a run. I follow your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise while you’re away.
About: Your pets aren't "just pets" — they're family. And as someone who has shared my life with dogs for many years, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with their care. I began my animal-care journey studying Animal Sciences at Rutgers University's Cook College. Although my career eventually took me in a different direction, animals remained a constant part of my life. I've been pet sitting for friends and family for 27 years, and I also worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years. My veterinary experience gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including senior and medically fragile pets. I'm comfortable administering: Oral medications Eye drops Subcutaneous fluids Senior-pet care and monitoring Feeding and medication routines Providing extra patience and attention to older or anxious dogs My beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu recently passed away, and while losing him has been incredibly difficult, it has also reminded me how much I love caring for animals. I'm ready to open my heart — and my schedule — to caring for other people's beloved pets. Today, I'm a wife and mother who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable pet care while being available when your pets need me. Whether your dog needs a midday visit, companionship while you're away, medication administration, or simply someone who will treat them like family, I bring years of experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my priority. I work remotely from home and have had a flexible work-from-home schedule for the past seven years, which allows me to be very accommodating with pet-care needs. I'm available for morning visits after 8:30 AM, once I get my daughter on the school bus, as well as midday walks and visits while you're at work. Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to spend the day at your home with your pets when needed, as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can work while keeping your pets company. My only regular scheduling limitation is 3:00–5:00 PM on weekdays, when I'm busy with school pickup and getting my children to their afternoon activities. Weekends are generally open and flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and your travel plans. My flexible schedule allows me to provide more than just a quick check-in—I can give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I believe the best pet care starts with making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m playful and attentive, but I’m also responsible and observant—I pay attention to your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including larger dogs up to 100 pounds. I also welcome cats! Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play or prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your home is your pet’s safe place, and I treat it with the same respect I would want for my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. Most importantly, I want your pets to look forward to seeing me! I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, walks, and companionship, while respecting their boundaries and individual personalities.
“We have a high anxiety dog. Nathan is working with us to build a relationship and trust with our dog. Nathan is Reliable, Dependable, Conscientious and cares about your pet.”

Whether you need a long walk for your dog, or a midday potty break, I’m ready. I’m ready to build rapport with your pet with a positive attitude and calm demeanor.

About: Hi! I’ve owned, cared for, groomed, trained, and boarded dogs of all breeds for over 20 years. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior snuggler, I treat every fur baby like they’re my own family. In addition to dog sitting and boarding, I also offer daily dog walks and runs—perfect for pups who need a bathroom break, exercise, or just some fresh air and love while you're at work or away. I’m available for midday walks, morning strolls, evening outings, or energetic runs, and I tailor each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m familiar with handling all kinds of dogs—from leash pullers to laid-back seniors—and I’m happy to accommodate special requests. Whether your pup loves the park, a quiet neighborhood stroll, or a brisk jog, I’ve got you covered.

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving your dog plenty of attention and companionship, I’m available to make sure their needs are met consistently. My routine revolves around providing a calm, loving environment where each pet feels comfortable and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fostertown
Melaney did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. Besides feeding them and attending to the litter box, she also took care of their emotional needs as well, spending time playing with them and petting them. She kept in contact with us every day letting us know how they were doing.
Maddie is the best! She is so kind and respectful. She really came through while we were away, and my baby was taken care of very well. So lucky to have found her! She communicates quickly and is flexible. Overall, she is intelligent, trustworthy, and a really good person- my cat just loved her!
Andrea went above and beyond to care for our dogs while we were away. Our dogs are very temperamental so it’s not often that someone can win their trust and their hearts like Andrea did. Her love for pets shined through the moment she met them. She was punctual, followed all of our instructions and even provided extras like cooling them off with a cold wet towel when they came in from outside during the heatwave. She took great pictures and left detailed updates about her visit. This enabled us to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dogs. We will definitely hire Andrea again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fostertown is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 8,643 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fostertown. 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 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 Fostertown. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
