“Jennifer is absolutely amazing in every way! She didn’t just walk my dog while I was away; she genuinely cared for her and loved on her as if she were her own. She consistently provided updates, pictures, and reassurance that my girl was happy, safe, and well cared for. Even though I have cameras throughout my home, I never once felt the need to check on her or question the level of care Jennifer was providing. It was clear that, to her, this was so much more than just a job. The peace of mind she gave me while I was away was priceless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer to anyone, especially those who travel frequently for work and want someone who will make their dog feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. Jennifer, thank you for treating my girl like family!”
“Riley has been great about getting to know my shy/fearful dog. She's very observant and picks up on his body language and signals. She's super calm which is helping him to be calmer and learn to trust her.”
About: I grew up in a household that always had at least one pet; everything from turtles, birds, hamsters, to 2 cats and 4 dogs. I've always loved animals and would love to meet your pet too! Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow for pets, I'm hoping meeting and caring for your pets will bring me the same joy I have when I'm at home! I took care of two elderly dogs for the last two years - one who required full time attention including administering medicine. My schedule is super flexible! I work mostly in the evenings and am free on the weekends. My roommate is also a dog lover and would be more than happy to have a furry friend stay with us. I currently rent a small apartment with a friend, but we are just a few blocks from a dog park! The space is a bit small, but I have had dogs stay with me in the past with no issue!
“Sydney is truly the best. I am still clueless as to how she manages to get my scaredy cat out from under the bed for pets every single time!!! She’s incredibly reliable, communicative, and always reassuring- especially when I have extreme separation anxiety about leaving my babies. I’m so grateful to have found someone I completely trust with my cats and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, especially dogs. My family has always loved and cared for them deeply, and being around dogs has always felt natural to me. I carry that same love in my heart, every dog deserves kindness, respect, and a life full of love. They give nothing but adoration, and I want to reflect that back to them. What I enjoy most is seeing each dog’s unique personality and getting to connect with them in their own special way. Spending time with dogs is always exciting, comforting, and genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I have online classes from 6–9 p.m., so I have plenty of time during the day and on weekends to care for your pets! Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to their routine. Your pets will always get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. My home is calm, safe, and full of love for animals. I always take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so they feel relaxed and cared for. I’m experienced with senior pets and medications, and I make sure every animal, whether shy or social, feels secure, respected, and happy in my care.
“Lauren did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on time each day and communicated well, sending us pictures of our kitty every day.”
About: I’m a St. Joe’s student and a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets. I have a 5-year-old goldendoodle of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also watched plenty of dogs and cats for friends and family, and I’m comfortable with all types of pets and personalities. I love going on walks, spending quality time with animals, and making sure they get the attention they need. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive, reliable, and I always keep owners updated with lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and safe. As a student at St. Joseph’s University, my schedule can vary, but I’m very flexible and happy to communicate to find times that work best for you and your pet. I’m also available on weekends. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible in their own home. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific care needs, so pets feel safe in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover through and through — I grew up in a house that always had a mix of pets, from dogs and cats to smaller critters like rabbits and guinea pigs. Taking care of animals has been part of my daily routine for as long as I can remember, whether it was walking the family dog before school, cleaning cages, or just knowing how to read an animal’s mood and needs. That early experience gave me a real comfort level with all kinds of temperaments and energy levels — the goofy, high-energy pups who need a long walk to settle down, and the shier ones who just want a calm, patient presence. I know how important routine, exercise, and attention are for a dog’s well-being, and I treat every pet in my care like it’s my own. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of love, exercise, and attention while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative (expect photo updates!), and genuinely happiest when I’m around animals. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work full time as a physician during the day but am available everyday after work! I can also work with you to find extra time to take care of your pets. I pay special attention to detail to ensure your pet is safe at all times. I will ensure your environment provides a safe space to take care your pets!
“This was our second time working with Staci, and once again, we felt incredibly lucky to have found her. She cared for our two cats, Isaly and Harris, with such genuine attention and affection—it felt like they were being looked after by an old friend. We especially appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos she sent with each visit; it’s clear she understands the emotional side of leaving pets behind. When we returned home, the cats were calm and well-adjusted—a sure sign they’d been relaxed and content in our absence. Staci went above and beyond to make sure they were safe, happy, and cared for.”
“Excellent service and highly recommended!! Yulia and Kevin took great care of my cat while I was away. They communicated frequently (before and after each visit), sent pictures and videos, and provided me with a summary of each visit. Knowing my cat was in such good hands made my time away (and her time alone) much easier. I will definitely be using them again. Thanks again! And Sailor says thanks too!”
“Talia did a great job for us! She even brought in our packages which weren’t supposed to be delivered when she was there! Gabby warmed up to her at the greeting, which is not a normal thing for Gabby!”
“Matthew took excellent care of our dog and cat. He is responsive and polite and genuinely cares for pets. He is very communicative, which is always appreciated! I highly recommend Matthew and Maricris and will definitely work with them again!”
About: I know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies when you're away from home, which is why I strive to provide top-notch daytime care. Whether I'm popping in for a drop-in visit or taking them out for some fresh air, my services include: feeding and medication per the pet parent’s instructions, plenty of walks, play time, and lots of cuddles (if they’re okay with that!) with photo updates throughout my visit. As an animal shelter volunteer, I especially have experience with cats, including kittens as young as 2 weeks old. Since I have recently moved to Philadelphia my availability is now completely open, which works out perfectly for scheduling visits! Any scheduling discrepancies will be communicated ASAP. My approach to pet care is centered on safety and maintaining a stress-free routine. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by double checking locks and removing potential hazards.
About: Taking care of cats and dogs has been a huge part of my life and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve taken care of cats for the past 20 years. We have had up to five cats in our household, therefore I am well experienced with multiple animals at one time. I have about 15 years of dog experience. My pets are in their senior years, so I do have senior care experience. I now live with my very own girl cat and have raised her since being a kitten, so I am familiar with young kitten care as well. I work as a hybrid employee with varying work from home days week by week. Therefore my availability does change frequently. That’s not to say I’m an inconsistent caretaker. Just won’t be available in the middle of the day certain days of the week. Safety is a priority for myself as well as your pet/pets. I can ensure you I am aware of how important it is to stay alert and attentive to your pets. I also understand that making sure your home is safe is a priority. I will treat your home and pets with respect seeing that I would want the same for myself.
“Olivia showed up consistently, sent a daily picture, made sure my cat’s feeder was working, had fresh water, and had some companionship while I was away. I appreciate that she dropped by for a meet and greet beforehand as well.”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families animals for about three years now. I’ve dealt with puppy dogs to senior dogs, crazy kittens to calm cats. I love animals and truly see them as a part of the family! 💜 I am super flexible when it comes to my daily schedule. I have been doing pet care independently and decided to rover a shot ! Communication is super important to me, if the pet needs any specific foods, medications, or walking instructions I would contact the owner beforehand to make sure the pet is receiving the best care possible. Or if the client left a note with specific instructions.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gladwyne
Ricky is great! I booked her last minute, and she still made time to come meet me and my pup beforehand. She’s very friendly and professional. It was obvious she loves dogs and they love her. On the scheduled day, she was prompt and communicative. I’m already planning on using her again!
Aiden took care of my two dogs for a few days while I was out of the country. I was so happy with all the updates and pictures. My dogs loved her and she took such good care of them. She paid close attention to what they were doing and messaged me with questions. I felt really comfortable with her caring for them and all the attention and love they received. I will be happy to book with her again.
Dion took fantastic care of our cat and dog when dropping in for a walk, or playtime, or putting them to bed! My wife and I loved getting her notes and photos with each Drop-In visit and we could tell the pets both loved her care (although our cat needed a few visits to warm up). I would recommend Dion to any and all of my friends for any pet sitting needs!
Natalia was amazing. Our dog Wicket was well taken care of. He can be a needy-pity and he took right to her. She came over multiple times a day, while we were away. They played inside and outside. She even sat with him on the couch like we do because he’s a 75 pound lap dog. Natalia even read to him. He was a happy pup while we were away. She was great with communication. Tons of stories and pictures. Do not hesitate to reach out to her. She went above and beyond for our boy!!!
Dabney has been so good with our dog. We were in a desperate situation for an all-day thing away from home and we communicated with Dabney just the evening before, late, and she was able to come two times that Saturday to walk our 1yo puppy. We've used her ever since and she's been wonderful. On time, reliable, and good with our dog. Highly recommend Dabney for Bryn Mawr-area dogsitting!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gladwyne is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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.

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.
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 Gladwyne 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. 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.
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.
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 Gladwyne with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gladwyne. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
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.
