“Lauren goes above and beyond to take care of your pets. She is responsible, timely, and communicative. When an issue arose while I was away Lauren took it upon herself to solve it. She made me feel at ease while being away from my kitties because I knew she would not only make sure they got their medicine, but that they received pets and love. I almost want to gatekeep her because she is THAT good.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I have always owned all types of animals. They hold a huge part of my heart & I know they do for you too. I am currently a tattoo apprentice. My schedule fluctuates and I make my own schedule. If I am not in the studio, I am at home drawing while I snuggle with my pets. So I have plenty of time to give your pet the care & love they deserve! I am a very patient person and pride myself of that. I LOVE to send daily updates of your fur baby as I love to get them when someone pet sits my own. I follow instructions to a T as I would want someone to for my fur babies. I pay close attention to all safety rules and special dietary needs.
“Leila has been wonderful with Hank! She shows up on time every day, sends tons of great pics and is very responsive. Hank loves playing with her and I can tell he's been exercised when I get home. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a dog sitter/walker.”
“Everything seems to have gone great! She is on time and takes him for a walk each time and gives him love when I am not there. I love the pics I get each time.”
“Haeley was great! My kitties were very comfortable with her and she took exceptional care with them. Honest and trustworthy I would highly recommend her.”
About: I keep a good balance between walk time and sniff time, I always make sure they at least go pee before we finish our walk! I’m currently overnight sitting a cat but I am around between 9am and 5pm! I can also do before 8:30am or after 5:30pm if needed I make sure to assess the personality of the friend I am meeting, and do whatever is needed to make sure they’re good for the day
“Sarah is amazing! She is incredibly thorough, patient, and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat that even I hadn’t thought of, and my cat was completely calm and comfortable around her. She also took amazing photos of my baby and was very attentive to everything happening in the house. She noticed and communicated anything that might need my attention, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate how caring, observant, and responsible she is. I highly recommend Sarah!”
About: I have experience caring for both small and large breeds, including administering medications and sticking to routine schedules. From long walks to playful fetch sessions or cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I’m a mother of one, as well as a proud pet mom to a 6-year-old Maltese and a 5-year-old tuxedo cat. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, reliable care. I’m detail-oriented, caring, and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I’ll care for your pet just like I do my own. I’ll stick to their routine so they feel safe and comfortable, make sure they’re fed, walked, and loved on, and handle any medications they need. You can count on lots of updates and photos, because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your pet happy while you’re away.
About: I've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.
About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime. One names xena and my current dog named Ruby. At home, me and my mother take care of Ruby by walking her, feeding her, and playing with her. I am also currently a dog bather in training at Petsmart. Pet care is persistent in my daily everyday routine. Because I have a cat who lives with me in my college dorm, I have to make sure that his litter box is clean, he has food and water, has some stimulation when I am both in class and in my dorm and making sure his nails are trimmed and not too long to ruin the furniture I care for the pets by making sure they have food, water, providing them with lots of attention and stimulation to prevent boredom, and being mindful of what the pet parent wants for their animal
About: I was the driving force for my family to get a puppy and I was his primary caretaker along with my little sister for years. I worked hard to house train him and teach him basic commands. And before he came into our lives, I took every chance to walk and care for the dogs of my friends and family. Looking forward to expanding my experience with your pup! I work remotely, doing data analysis and design, so I can and do work practically anywhere. Your crew will get all the attention and care they need! I’m never too busy for a belly rub or walk! My own pup that I grew up with really trained ME to know when to go for walks and when to play. So much so, that I find myself taking him out before his scheduled walks so we can both get some fresh air and exercise. He also instilled a diligence to make sure food and fresh water are always available!
“Steph did a wonderful job looking after my two cats while I was gone for a long period of time (two weeks). She kept them company, played with and entertained them, and always made sure their food, water, and litter were taken care of. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in her care!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I got my first dog around age 11 and have had multiple dogs over the years, along with a ferret, hamster, and fish. I’ve also helped care for family members’ dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Animals have always been a big part of my life and continue to be. I truly enjoy being around them and caring for them, and I always joke that one day I’m going to end up with my own little farm because I want every animal I see! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or whatever a pet may need. My daily routine is pretty laid back, so I have the time and flexibility to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I would always talk with the pet parent beforehand about their normal routine, what they’re allowed or not allowed to do, feeding instructions, walks, and any other specific needs. I’m big on following the owner’s instructions, keeping their pet safe and comfortable, and being respectful of their home and belongings.
About: Hello!! I've always had animals in my house (dogs, cats, guinea pigs...) and I also have experience dog, cat, and house sitting back in Austin. I have big golden retriever energy and can tire out the most hyper of animals but also love a cozy night in and can love on a quieter, shy dog/cat. Additionally, I have experienced all ages of dog through growing up with and caring for my dog, including: managing puppy rules and regiment and later administering medicine and staying alert for signs of stress or discomfort. I work part-time right now, so my schedule varies. But around my work, I have a lot of free time to care for yall's pets! I am very flexible and have had experience with a range of animals. And I always make sure to stay communicative and ask lots of questions so that your animal gets great, curated care.
About: I've been taking care of neighbor's cats and dogs since childhood, including overnight house sitting. I've had cats for most my life and have worked with big and small dogs, young and old, including dogs that need a lot of exercise. I have experience taking care of other domestic mammals like rabbits, chinchillas, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and hedgehogs, as well as exotic birds and reptiles. I'm a big animal over; I majored and worked in wildlife conservation, and am passionate about domestic and wild animals. I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to stay home a lot and be with the pets. I have a car to get to people's homes easily for daytime checkins/walks. Depends on the client's specific needs but usually for housesitting I stay at the house and am home often, so I'm able to give the pets attention and care, and let them out for bathroom breaks and walks regularly as needed. I can do basic household stuff like take out trash, clean up after pets, water plants, whatever is needed.
“Heather did a great job with our skittish cat; the fact that he warmed up to her quickly is a testimony to how good she is with animals. She gave regular updates and provided pictures, which helped us feel more at ease. We would recommend Heather.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Glenside is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glenside
Daniel is a Cat Whisperer! I have not left my cats since they were born in my home over 5 years ago. I had no idea if they would even eat while I was away? Daniel's vibe is one of peace and compassion and he had matters well in hand! Even Mercy showed great progress; Daniel helped her overcome her inherent anxiety.
Lauren knocked my socks off like always. She treats my animals like they’re her own. I got constant text updates and beautiful pictures of my babies. I can tell that they were being well loved and taken care of, 10 out of 10 would recommend Lauren to anybody at any time.
Amanda is so great with animals. We have an extremely anxious cat that most other sitters never see, but came out for pets with her! Had she not taken pictures of the event, we probably wouldn't have believed it happened. She's responsible and accountable and we will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
Hadiya is wonderful! It's difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies and your home. As soon as we met Hadiya, we knew she was the right person. We have two shy kittens (other cat sitters had taken care of them for weeks at a time and never even saw them). But they warmed up to Hadiya almost instantly! We couldn't believe it. Hadiya is detailed oriented, reliable, thorough, and so sweet with our cats. She took the time to build their trust AND got all the care tasks done too. We can't recommend her enough.
Nikki was very responsive and took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet before the service began. She did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again in the future.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
