About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life but in the previous 5 years is when I started to watch and take care of them more often I have plenty of time during the week and or weekends to watch 1 or multiple animals. I can stay overnight or do multiple drop in visits a day. I will make sure I have eyes on them on the whole time and tend to their needs when they need something. I will never walk them without a leash and steer away from other dogs being walked when I’m walking yours.
“Mackenna was great with my two cats, giving some extra time for the one when the other had a medical issue and went to stay with my sister who was running him back and forth to the vet. Raven was lonely without him. She kept me up to date with texts and photos — I would highly recommend her services!”
About: Animals have always been a piece of my heart. I love every single breed of dogs. I’m always the one someone calls when they need a pet sitter. I care for the animals like no other. I have worked in the doggy daycare/ boarding industry for 2 years, I am a farm girl at heart. I have owned many animals including horses, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, & roosters! Right now I am unemployed since I had a cross country move. I am available all day everyday to sit with your pup, play, walk, whatever you would need me to do! I have my own Golden Retriever and Siberian Husky that loves to play. You will always catch my golden and I at the dog park. We love to play fetch!
About: I have taken care of dogs and had cats for many years. I understand not every pet is the same and would love to get to know your furry friend(s). I am working full time, a mother of two. I am going to work this in and use my vibrant 6 year old to help! I will treat your house with respect and treat your pets like they are my own. I am happy to offer cuddles and play time.
“Erika was awesome! She was able to come on short notice and really saved our trip! She was thorough, communicative, and took great photos and kept us posted with each visit. We definitely recommend for anyone needing to have a pet sitter or a drop in!”
“I’m so glad I found Wendy! She was sweet, prompt, and left detailed reports and pictures so I knew our dog was being well taken care of while we were away. I look forward to booking with Wendy again.”
About: I have lots of experience administering medication to dogs and cats and I am comfortable doing so. I am also comfortable watching puppies, who are not potty trained, and cleaning up after them. I have had many puppies in my life and cleaned up a lot of messes. Depending on your requests (and your dog's preference), I will take your dog on a long (2 to 3 mile) walk a day or to the dog park (probably in Pheonixville: on Longford Rd). A dog deserves to get all his energy out, and I do not charge more for walking them. I recently moved to the Valley View Apartments in Pottstown, PA. I work part-time at The Home Depot (6 minutes away). I have a BA in English from Stony Brook University in NY and I am returning to School this fall, part-time, to begin a new journey in Engineering. I love dogs and I would enjoy watching them and taking care of them. I have had dogs my entire life, and due to my recent move, this is the first time in my life I am without them in residence. Your dog(s) is free to go and sleep wherever they want in my apartment. My dog, Oliver, is a gentle, sweet pup with random bursts of puppy energy. He suffers with epilepsy, which is where I gained experience administering (over fifty: not an exaggeration) pills a day to my dog. Our dogs and cats are free to go wherever they want at the house back at home and when they stay here at my apartment. Although I am not living with them currently, I believe taking them out either for a long walk or to the dog park for at least forty five minutes is essential.
“We are so grateful to Cristine for taking such wonderful care of our dog and cat for 2 weeks. Our dog is very anxious and she warmed up to Cristine so quickly. She took extra time with her to help her feel secure while we were away and sent us tons of photos of them enjoying treats and snuggles. Our pets just loved her!”
“Sabrina is a gem. Rocky immediately loved her. She's incredibly sweet and knowledgeable about animals. Clear communication, she asked the right questions during the meet and greet, and we felt completely comfortable with her watching our boy. We will definitely look to her for any future dog sitting needs. 💯 Recommend.”

Experience working as a vet tech including first aid, animal grooming, training and behavior, and as an animal chiropractor for ~15 years.

We have a large house for dogs to roam and play throughout the day. Sleeping can be in a kennel or snuggled with us in bed--whatevert you prefer.

About: When I was younger I used to take care of my neighbors dogs, house sit for them and walk their dogs. I've also raised other animals, like ducks, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. People have always called me the animal whisperer, i've rescued animals and returned them back to wildlife lots of times in my life, and i just think animals (ALL PETS) bring me so much joy and peace , I would do anything for just about any animal that lives, to make their life as fulfilled and loved as i can. My duties for caring for any animal would be properly maintaining their feeding and walking schedules. Bathe and brush(if necessary), playtimes as well as training procedures (if applicable) Pet sitting/House sitting. Your pets will be in great hands! Hello, my availability is posted in my calendar, please check to see if the dates you need a sitter are available in my schedule. If so I will be more than happy to watch after your animals! Thank you! I like to maintain schedule, dietary restrictions, exercise, walking and feeding schedules. Any maintenance that comes along with watching after your pets. You let me know what you need, and I can do it.
“Alyssa was great! We are new to the area so we don't have family who can come check on our dogs. Alyssa left detailed message updates and even took pictures of our cat for us who she wasn't even there to watch ❤”
About: I’ve always been great with dogs and will be great with yours! I have dog sat, whether it be having them over for a play date or checking in on them to make sure they’re fed and entertained. I’m a recent Temple University graduate and fully capable of accommodating to any and all of your pets needs! I’m a recent graduate from Temple University, and would love to spend my time hanging with puppers while I continue my job search in the city! I keep things very simple and do as asked. If I’m entering your home I make sure to get all the information I need so is to make the client and pet as comfortable as possible! As for walks, I also keep things simple and enjoyable while making sure your dog is able to do what they need to do!
About: We have owned, rescued, and fostered many fur babies, including seniors and those that have medical needs and hospice care. Fur babies are unconditional love! I am retired and have a lot of time for fur babies. Taking care of fur babies are what keeps me active and, on the go. I have a fenced yard and three smaller dogs that love to play and cuddle. My home is more suited for fur babies then humans!
About: Hi My name is Meghan, and I have been caring for dogs since I was little. I have 3 bigger dogs of my own, English Mastiff Pitbull Mix (9), Smooth Fox Terrier Lab Mix (5), and a French Mastiff (2). I have been volunteering for a dog rescue and helping to foster dogs in home for over 10 years. Due to my French Mastiff having diabetes, I am trained on how to give a dog an insulin shot, and am able to medicate your pet as well! I also have 1 cat and just love being around animals! I’m currently a college student and I have 1-2 classes every day from 8am-12pm and I only go to classes so I would not have any outside conflicts or commitments to have to go to. I have experience in giving shots, pills, and light grooming if necessary. I would take your dogs for a walk, give them food/water depending on the time, and just spend time with them to make them feel less alone.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbertsville
We had a fantastic experience with Audrey! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was incredibly flexible. We loved receiving lots of pictures and updates during her visit. It was reassuring to see Buddy happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The updates and responsiveness made us feel at ease while we had a nice night out. Most importantly, Buddy was happy and excited to see her, which says it a lot! We highly recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. We will definitely be booking again!
Olivier did a wonderful job with our two Cairn Terriers. He spent extra time with them walking through the gardens, collected eggs from the chickens, and made sure everyone was happy. We got lots of doggie pictures while on vacation of them roaming around the gardens and bonus pictures of the chickens, too. We'd recommend Olivier to anyone!

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 Gilbertsville 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 Gilbertsville 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 Gilbertsville 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.
