“Leigh was great and so flexible with my last minutes needs! Every detail was followed and Duch was well taken care of! I definitely recommend Leigh and will be rebooking in the future!!”

About: I grew up with rabbits and various small pets. My first dog, Toto, was trained by me in elementary and middle school. Now, I spend my evenings caring for others animals whenever possible! I work 7:30 am to 3 pm as a teacher! My day does allow for a mid day visit, distance depending! Free every evening for walks and lots of attention! Experienced with crate trained dogs and more free range styles. Love building trust with animals and keeping their days typical and calm while their owners are away!
About: I always knew I wanted to work with animals, but it wasn’t until I started working at a kennel that I discovered my true calling: dog training. In September 2023, I made the decision to pursue this path seriously by attending National K-9 Dog Training School in Ohio, where I earned my certification as a professional dog trainer. Now, I’m proud to turn that passion into a career. I’m deeply committed to helping dogs and their owners build strong, respectful relationships, and I love sharing my training methods to make a positive impact on both ends of the leash. I’m trying to get my small business out into the world and taking small steps like this will help me! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I'm available for boarding and weekdays. My schedule with my part time job changes each week but I make sure to let my clients know! I will ALWAYS be talking to your fur baby! They become family once entering this home. I currently live in an apartment that has a designated area to bring your dog to have fun off leash!
“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”
“We found Nicole a few weeks ago, after bringing our rescue dog home. She has visited with him 1-2x/week and her visits have made all the difference! She is so kind and gentle with him. He has some quirks due to being an adult rescue dog. She sends very thorough updates and takes extra time with him. Since her visits started, we've noticed an improvement in his behavior and it helps break up the day while we're gone for work. We would absolutely recommend Nicole!”
“Laura receives A+ !!!!!!!! I am extremely pleased!!!! Will definitely book with Laura again. I will certainly recommend to family and friends 🧡 Very grateful for the care my "ginger bky" received”
About: I’m an avid animal lover with plenty of dog experience. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I was a dog walker for a few families while my kids were young and at school. I currently have a senior pittie. I don’t have a ton of cat experience, but I’m always happy to learn! I work full time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can easily do mornings, late afternoon and evenings as well as weekends. I can come to your home for visits, walks and playtime. My dog is family, your home and animals will be treated the same way.
“Jeannette took so much time to care for Kingsley, our older dog. He was happy to see her, and she gave us great updates on his care while we were out of town. Jeannette was clearly patient and so kind to our boy. Thank you!!”
“Liz was so wonderful with my cats and dog! They were so happy to see her every time she came to take care of them. And she sent me regular updates and was quick to communicate with me!”
About: I've been watching the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors since I was about 18. I've given insulin to both dogs and cats during my time pet-sitting. I currently own and care for two very spoiled female guinea pigs. During the week, I work full-time with a hybrid home/office schedule. On the days I am in the office, I do leave at mid-day to finish my workday from home. I can be available for bathroom breaks all throughout the day and go on walks/play with your pets in the evening. I work from a laptop, so I have the ability to relocate my workspace if necessary. I am able to provide all-day availability on weekends. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. I currently have experience taking care of furry ones of all ages and medical conditions.
About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!
“Kirsten was absolutely amazing! Upon meeting her, I knew right away that I would feel comfortable leaving my kitten with her. She is very kind, pleasant, and has a great energy about her. She responded quickly to my messages, and was very personable from the beginning. I also greatly appreciate the fact that she is Vet Tech and has the professional experience of working with animals daily. This was our first time leaving our kittens for the weekend, so having her come into our home to check on them, feed them, and clean the litter was important for giving us peace of mind while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent many messages to let us know how they were doing. She was very thorough with providing photos and updates. We were so happy to have her there to watch over them for both of the visits. Also our kittens took to her right away and it seemed like they were comfortable with her as much as we were. I will look forward to having Kirsten watch over our kittens again in the future. I would also recommend anyone who is looking for a trust worthy, reliable, professional, and overall great person to watch their pets while they are away. She made our first experience using Rover great. Thank you!”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of pets on both a personal and professional level. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and respect them for the unique individuals they are. Meeting a dog where they’re at is very important to me, and I’m happy to do whatever I can to make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve 💖 I work full-time at a school. During the summer months, especially August, my availability opens up almost completely. I am also looking to supplement during my normal work hours year-round. At that time, I’m available for early morning walks and visits before 7AM, and afternoon/evening walks and visits after 3:15PM. My weekends are mostly open year-round! Respecting someone’s home and property is just as important to me as taking care of their beloved animals. I’m never going to assume something about someone’s home or lifestyle and am not in the business of making judgements! A pet’s home is where they feel safe and comfortable, I’ll make sure it stays that way while they’re in my care and I’m in their space.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have been involved in rescue for 5 years! I’ve pet sat/ walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors numerous times! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give to your pets! I am available for pet sitting/ dog walking weekly after 10am. You & your pets trust and safety is number one! I always prefer to do a meet and greet before providing services to ensure we will be a great match!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garnet Valley
Great experience. I have two dogs that cannot get along and are isolated from one another. Don’t hate me but they are rescues. Z managed to feed them let them out with no incidence. Z was respectful of my home and I never let a person here without me. Z took care of my babies like Z’s own. Highly recommend.
Lily was so responsible and sweet with our dogs. We couldn't have left our precious pups in better hands and she was so conscientious in feeding them, walking them, taking photos, and even administering medication. We were so reassured by her responsible and thoughtful updates and hope that even more people will get to experience her wonderful service in future!
Marissa is exceptional she took our 7 day appointment last minute and was very understanding and communicative. We were very skeptical at first using a service one to watch our puppy and two having someone coming in our home while we weren’t there. Marissa communicated every day as well as sent pictures. She definitely went over and beyond with our puppy “Buddy”, She bathed him, took care of his play pen area as we would. Im very thankful for Marissa and clearly Buddy enjoyed her as well.
From a Husky Owner: Finding the right dog sitter is crucial for a Husky owner. Huskies are known for their high energy, need for consistent training, and strong prey drive. Therefore, Ryan was highly appreciated! He understood that a Leo needed more than a just short walk by automatically volunteering an extended walk tailoring to include vigorous exercise allowing my dog to burn his energy. The ability to manage leash manners and maintain attention, even with distractions, was impressive, as Huskies can be very independent on walks. Ryan asked about Leo’s training leash techniques and reviewed modeling the leash behavior. In addition to physical activity, Ryan showed commitment to mental stimulation for Leo. Puzzle toys and an intense play session kept Leo’s mind occupied, which helped prevent any destructive behaviors that can arise from boredom in Huskies. Training commands were also reinforced consistently, which is important for this breed. There was also excellent communication from Ryan during my time away! Knowing that Leo was well-cared for, happy, and engaged made my trip more relaxing and worry free! I’d highly recommend Ryan as your next dog sitter!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Garnet Valley 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 Garnet Valley 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.

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 Garnet Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
