“Very reliable sitter! Whitney checked in on my dog at my house twice a day while I was away. She took good care of my dog and kept me informed with photos.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats of all sizes and I am comfortable with both puppies and senior animals. I have a secure, large yard, air conditioning, and full-time availability to spoil your pet. (My dog has passed so no pets live in the home). I'm very attuned to animals needs and make sure they're comfortable and calm. I am happy to host multiple pets at once as long as your pet is friendly (can host cats alone without other animals). I work from home part time. My house is very chill and my schedule is flexible. I rarely need to leave the house, and if your dog has separation anxiety i can plan to be fully available. I drive so I can attend to pets as needed throughout the day and evening at your home. If at my home, we will mostly hang out on the first floor where your pet can access food and water. I provide frequent bathroom breaks and time out in the yard (or a quick walk around the neighborhood). At clients homes, I make sure the pet is comfortable in its natural environment, play, and take them outside as needed.
About: I have cared for my family dogs on numerous occasions. I have also been a go to pet sitter for people around me. I baby sit and have worked as a mentor helping people around me. I would be able to care for pets at any point in the week. The schedule is the only thing I need and would be able to care for pets at any time. I care and typically ask for schedules for the specific animal. I also keep in touch with owners on a day to day basis and give updates about their pets and how they are doing.
“I highly recommend Samantha for pet sitting! She arrived early to feed our guy which I’m sure he appreciated and was even willing to check litter, water, etc. She communicated clearly each check in and was very professional and friendly. Hoping to book her again soon!”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“David took great care of my two cats with his drop-in visits. He even brought our trash cans in for us! David communicated with me about my pets and when he was going to be late. I would definitely book him again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my family for years. But I’m looking to branch out and help others who need help as well! I’m a college student trying to get by and am willing to help out as much as I can! I currently work 2 jobs babysitting 2 times a week in mornings, and in the mall usually nights. But I’m still flexible enough to fit an animal or two in! I will play and take care of your pet as if it’s my own! I will stick to regular routines (if i’m told there’s any) and will try my hardest to keep them happy!
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always helped out taking care of my friend’s cats and dogs. When it comes to taking full care of other people’s pets I’ve done a couple of pet sitting jobs in the past year or so. While home from college I have free time almost everyday for most of the day! While I may need to go home to check on my own pets or family I can usually spend most of the day with your pets. I’m a bit of a night owl so morning can be rough but I thrive in the late morning and afternoon! I can’t have pets come over to my house because of my cats, but when at your house I can always be there for your animal! Whether they are playing or just want company while lounging at home!
“Patrick was wonderful! He was on time and communicated well. My cats accidentally locked themselves in a closet during the day and he let me know immediately. He took care of them and made sure to give them extra pets!! I’ll definitely be booking him again.”

About: I have had many of my neighbors have asked to take care of their pets in the past. I’ve been doing so since the 4th grade Before I moved from college, my dog that i’ve had for 6 years has been a significant part of my life. My family and I take my dog everyday including her in our daily routine I plan on adjusting methods toward each pet. some animals need different care, and I hope to make the pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 30 years. I currently have 7 rescue dogs who range in age from 3-16 and weigh 6-26 lbs. I’m also an active foster for the Burlington County Animal Alliance. I’ve fostered close to 30 dogs this past year alone. I currently work full time, but am home Fridays Saturday and Sundays. The days I’m home I will take excellent care of any babies I’m dog sitting. I have a spacious backyard with a secure 6-foot fence, perfect for safe playtime. My home is full of happy pups who love making new friends. I do have crates available if needed, but most dogs prefer snuggling in bed with me or relaxing on one of the many cozy dog beds throughout the house.
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with 12 amazing years of experience caring for my sweet pit bull, Colby, who recently passed from old age. He was my heart, and taking care of him taught me so much about patience, love, and the joy dogs bring into our lives. I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all kinds, and I’ll treat yours like family with lots of care, attention, and belly rubs! Hi! I currently work at an elementary school, so my availability is limited until June 19th. After that, my schedule opens up quite a bit! I’ll likely be working a summer education job with hours from 8 AM to 2 PM, which means I’ll have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for your pup. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, I care for pets the same way I cared for my own dog, Colby—with lots of love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I try to keep things as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I follow whatever routine your dog is used to—walks, feeding times, play, meds, and I make sure they get plenty of affection. I want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for the whole time you’re away.

About: I’ve always been great with pets, especially dogs, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. I’ve owned and cared for a dog for 12 years which has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walks, exercise, routines, and daily care. As a student-athlete, I’ve developed strong traits like discipline, punctuality, responsibility, and hard work. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets the attention they deserve. I’m currently finishing my last semester of college online, which gives me a flexible schedule and strong availability for pet care. I’m actively looking for full-time or part-time work, but I’d love the opportunity to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m reliable when it comes to routines, communication, and giving pets the attention they need. I currently prefer caring for pets in their own home environment rather than bringing them into my home. I believe many pets are most comfortable staying in their normal routine and familiar surroundings. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions if needed, and any care directions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, active, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I am so grateful for Catharine. She’s so communicative, responsible, and kind. We feel so lucky that she cares for our cat when we travel. It gives us such peace of mind. I look forward to having her come back next time.”

“Amazing care provided by Shannon. I'm so glad I found her. My dogs were cared for and loved while I was away. I appreciated the pre-meet and she took notes on important information about my dogs. I will definitely use her again.”

About: My extensive experience in pet care is founded on a deeply rooted love for animals and a commitment to providing top-notch service. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether it's walking a puppy, or providing gentle care for senior pets, I have a versatile skill set that ensures every furry friend in my care receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to adapt to various situations and my keen understanding of animal behavior enable me to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets thrive. Don't think I just stop at Cats and Dogs! I was a professional pet sitter for years and have watched and cared for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Fishes and a Pigeon (yes even a pigeon). I currently have 8 year old cat Begbie (gorgeous, grumpy and full of sass) 2 1/2 year old cat Dexter (always has his tuxedo on ready to crash events and full of spice) 3 guinea pigs (Norman, Joel and Donnie), they currently reside in their own room (with fences around the outlets), where they have plenty of room to forage, hide, run, whatever their tiny hearts desire. In essence, my passion for pets, sets me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and provide peace of mind to pet owners. I can do AM and PM. I do work an 8-5, but have the flexibility to work times around to fit your needs! Weekends AM and PM as well but less restrictive Our cats are indoor cats and our guinea pigs are in a completely separate room (We do allow the cats to visit them, but supervised only)
About: My goal is to provide the pest possible service for your family. I am just getting started with Rover and not so busy yet. I think some great reviews would help and that is good news for you because great reviews require providing great service. Seriously, I am a senior looking to supplement my income like all old guys but I truly love dogs. It may seem strange but I feel a connection and able to communicate. So how about a shot to give you some great service so I can great reviews and fill my calendar a bit. Often times the fewer words the better but below gives you a window into some personal pet experiences. Pets have been a part of my entire life. My first adolescent memory is of Jacque, a prissy French Poodle with an attitude that Mom would let me dress up complete with overcoat, booties and of course a French beret. Ginger was a large orange tabby cat that could have been Garfield's stunt double. My parents attempt at teaching me responsibility actually worked. Married in 1971 our life together started with Figaro, looked just like the cat from Pinocchio. All black with white paws very sneaky, overly curious and slightly narcissistic. Figora belonged to my wife and he made that very clear. Sabrina, a very shiny grey Siamese joined us when my sister went to school. Sabrina was very anti social and did not like anybody. House guests could spend an entire weekend and never see her. She tolerated us but Sabrina and Figora had shall we say, an understanding. Neither were ever outdoors or saw the light of day. With the family developed and 3 boys later came Thunder. He was a rescue Sheppard mix. He was very active, playful, mischievous and very funny. He was more than a handful and we still laugh and talk about things that he did. As he became an adult dog, by years not behavior for sure, friends in a rural area expressed how much they loved Thunder. We just could not break their hearts and allowed them to adopt Thunder. We visited often. After some time Briar came into the picture. My wife's girlfriend became ill and unable to care for a large majestic Bovier de Flanders. Her coat was amazing. Very heavy and thick. Kids on the street would ask if she was a bear. When someone rang the doorbell Briar would announce them and greet them in an extremely loud intimidating manor. The caller could have just opened the door and patted her end and should would just give love and affection. She was kind gentle and helpful to everyone. Except, if you were to approach my wife in an aggressive manor or touch her, you were taking your life in your own hands. She was never taught to protect her, but protect she did. Amazing breed characteristics and lots of stories. We learned she had a UTI and was her kidney. We prolonged her life as long as possible and realized the treatment and medication were selfish on our part and chose her comfort over our love for her. So hard. My most recent pet experience was Pike, a brindle pit bull, male and Roxy, female dachshund. We started to foster them temporarily while my son traveled for work and turned to an extended stay their last years. Roxy ruled the roost for sure and was always funny when you considered their statute let alone breed but she was boss. We called them the odd couple. I would take them with me to work often and Pike made sales calls with me. He was truly my road dog. We lost them both within a month. We lost them both just before pandemic, they were 16-17 best guess. My son was the one that literally rescued Pike while he was chained to a dumpster in Rittenhouse Square all day in the rain. With lots of patience and love from everyone close, I watched him transform from an otherwise unfriendly, aggressive, animal hating Pit Bull transform to the sweetest, gentlest, ready to please member of the family. I do not have any formal training training nor have done training professionally but I am up for the challenge. I know and understand the 7 basic commands, hand signals, concepts and have a tremendous amount of patience. There are a lifetime of story's how I was the only one that got along with the shop dog or the neighbors dog or a particular. Hope to meet you and your Pups soon, Rocci I am retired and available 9:00am to 9:00 pm right now I don't need much notice. I am hoping to develop relationships with dogs by providing outstanding service I have a French yard that houses all the dogs and cats and the other animals as well as an area in the garage where we keep all the toys

Nicole is absolutely fantastic. As a first time dog owner, I was really nervous leaving my puppy for the first time and Nicole totally put my mind at ease right away - with texted updates and photos in addition to the very detailed reports! I felt so much better immediately! Her level of communication daily is such a relief to me and makes me so happy to see Penny having fun with her! She goes above and beyond everyday - keeping me posted when Penny is sick, taking our trash out, adding extra food when I forget. I truly can’t imagine what we would do without her and am so grateful that Penny is in the best hands when we are at work!! I recommend Nicole so highly!

This was the first time we did house visits for my two boys and Margret has been nothing but wonderful. She was always punctual and cared for my babies while I was away. She made sure to send pictures from every visit and my doggos loved playing / interacting with her. I would highly recommend Margret to care for y’all’s babies 🐾🐾 needs .

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.

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.
