“Jennifer was a great babysitter- always filled me in and took the cutest pictures of my cat and hamster. She was reliable and responsive I am definitely going to hire her again for all my trips!”
About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I have over a year of experience with Wag, where I maintain a 5-star rating for reliable, loving pet care. In the past, I’ve worked with both a senior dogs and a puppies, handling daily walks, feeding, keeping them clean, and engaging them in play with toys and activities. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved, just like family. My schedule is highly flexible. I’m available during weekdays, weekends and most holidays. I’m able to stay overnight or for long periods of time as needed. I love to keep up the daily habits and schedule of the dog within the owner’s home. Create a seamless transition from pet parent to myself, so that there would be no gaps in care.

I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands! I can't wait to meet your best friend! 🐾🐶🐱 Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, it fits naturally into my daily routine taking care of my fur baby, I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and attention. I like keeping pets on their normal schedule because it helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own.

“Andrea did a fantastic job taking care of our two little chihuahua boys. She made us feel comfortable with the way she listened to our instructions, and her calm demeanor helped them warm up to her very quickly. Her visit reports were enjoyable to read, and she sent multiple photos of the boys that brought smiles to our faces. We definitely plan on hiring Andrea again for our future dog sitting needs.”
“Amy was wonderful. She was affectionate and you could tell that she loved animals. She sent pictures of my puppy when she got there and while she was playing . I would recommend Amy and I will use her again.”
“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”

“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.
About: Ive been training and around animals almost my entire life and it’s something I take pride in. I have two dogs of my own as well. I currently train athletes and coach, so my time right now is pretty open during the normal work hours. My mornings and afternoons are free I am a very respectful and responsible person and I will respect your home and animals. Nothing that is not supposed to be tampered with, will not
About: I have been taking care of various sized dogs since I was 10 years old. Growing up my family had multiple Rottweilers in the house and I grew a love for taking care of and spending time with animals. I do not have any of my own and with my work schedule being a lot lighter now I would love to help people out that need it! I currently only work in the evenings for a few hours from my home since I recently moved back to Connecticut from the west coast a few months ago. With that I have a lot of free time on my hands throughout the day and would love to spend some time with dogs again. I personally live in a completely fenced in back yard that they would have access to throughout the day if they are at my house. I am a very active person and love taking dogs for long walks and getting them outside as much as possible.
About: I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats in my household since I was a little kid and grew up naturally wanting to take care of them. After leaving my family home, I adopted my own 2 kitties and currently live with 2 other cats and 2 dogs. Along with this, I worked as a manager at Playtime Pet Resort for a year, a doggy daycare and boarding facility, while also working in the yards as well as taking care of the dogs overnight when I lived at the facility for about 5 months. I recently moved to the area from the city and I am currently not working so I have a completely open availability at the moment. I am completely comfortable and enjoy adhering to a list of instructions for your pets. I have no issues with crate training or giving oral or topical medications to pets as well, this is something I’m very used to doing with working at a pet resort.
“Linda is simply the best! After trying with several cat sitters (who just weren’t right for one reason or another) I am so glad to have found Linda. She is caring, communicative, and took excellent care of my cranky cat. She went the extra mile in cleanup & left me a lock box to store keys. I wouldn’t dream of hiring anyone else. She makes me want to travel more often! Thank you Linda we hope to see you soon!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glenolden
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Breanna! She has known Harper since we moved to Media three years ago, and over that time, she has become such a constant, caring presence in our lives. She has followed us through one house move and even two pregnancies, always showing Harper the same incredible level of love and attention. Breanna goes so far above and beyond what you could ever expect from a dog walker. Her updates and notes show just how closely she pays attention to Harper and how genuinely invested she is in her well-being. We always feel completely confident knowing Harper is in her care. And somehow, she manages to make our lives a little easier, too. She’ll bring in our mail and packages, and on more than one occasion, she’s even put away a loaf of bread I accidentally left sitting on the counter after a hectic morning with my two boys. Breanna is reliable, kind, attentive, trustworthy, and truly treats Harper like her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with their whole heart. Harper absolutely adores her, and so do we!
Callie came for a meet and greet. My dog was belly up and waggy very quickly. We decided immediately that we found our sitter. She is bubbly and eager and has good attention to detail. I have a few rules.. they were followed explicitly. We have decided to do weekly drop ins leading up to an overnight. Callie has been here and our pup loved her time with her. I can relax knowing she’s in good hands
Madeline was fantastic for caring for our dog Mason. We had a great meet and greet and she brought treats that Mason instantly fell in love. Madeline provided great progress reports and dropped in on Mason at the scheduled times. We appreciate her care and attention she gave Mason and will book her again!
We are so lucky to have found Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Marnie. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and I could tell she was taking care of our dog like she was her own. She was reliable and I could enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog or my house. Will DEFINITELY be using Rachel to watch Marnie in the future.
Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.
This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Glenolden stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Glenolden 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.

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

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.
