“Sarah is detail oriented, communicative, and has an intuitive approach to caring for pets (in my case, cats). I have one social and one fearful cat, and after just three short visits she was already beginning to win over the fearful one. She sent photos during every visit and provided meaningful updates. I so appreciate her attentiveness and making both my cats and me feel comfortable while in separate places. Thank you Sarah!”
“Amanda was so incredible checking in on our girl. She gave great info every time she went over and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She even helped try and reset our WiFi when it went down for us. She is super nice and we’ve already rebooked her to watch our girl on an upcoming trip!”
“Danielle has been so amazing. She helped us last year to handle our Pillow and this year she is able to help on our second cat Papaya as well. Highly recommend her as your cat sitter. Very caring and love our kitties.”
“Trederica was wonderful! Kept me updated with pictures every visit & accommodated all my needs when it came to my fur baby, would absolutely book her again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I have 12 years of experience taking care of my own dog as well as caring for other pets, and about 5 years of experience with cats. I’ve also grown up around smaller pets, including guinea pigs and hamsters. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I have 12 years of experience taking care of my own dog as well as caring for other pets, and about 5 years of experience with cats. I’ve also grown up around smaller pets, including guinea pigs and hamsters. I’ve been pet sitting for the past couple of years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, and I’m also comfortable administering oral medication. I’ve trained my own dog to do many tricks and understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are when caring for animals. When I’m caring for your pets, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get the care they need. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers relaxing and getting some cuddles, I’ll take the time to make them feel comfortable. I currently offer drop-ins, walks, and in-home pet sitting. My goal is to make being away from home as easy as possible for both you and your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies like family and care for them as if they were my own. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care.

Tell me about their favorite things to do or their favorite places to go near your home and I will make it happen. Any questions please contact me with the information provided. I will answer promptly no matter the day of the week!
“Ryan was an amazing sitter. My cats absolutely loved him, and they never like people they have never met especially when we aren’t home. Ryan was timely, followed directions to a tee, and went above and beyond to make sure the house was in order knowing our one cat had litter box issues. I highly recommend Ryan for any sitting needs.”
“Christina was amazing! We’d hire her again or recommend to anyone. She was very diligent and thoughtful in her updates after each visit which was much appreciated. She also came by before we left town to meet the cats and do a walk-thru of their routine. Overall great experience while we were away!”

“Harrison watched my puppy over the course of 3 drop ins. He communicated every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure my Rikku was okay. He responded to all my requests and was extremely helpful. I plan to book him again in the near future.”
“Haley has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Coco! She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural connection with animals (Coco always seemed so happy after their time together). It gave me such peace of mind knowing Coco was in such good hands each week. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glenside
Allie was amazing with our 9 year old dog!!! We always get a little nervous having a new sitter watch our 95 lbs American bulldog mix since he can be a handful at times, but once they met we knew he’d be in good hands. Allie was communicative, gave lots of photos and updates, and followed our instructions with ease!! Will definitely be reaching out again for future visits :)
Courtney is excellent with our two geriatric, special needs dogs. She is very reliable and dependable and a pleasure to work with. Her level of care is outstanding and her communication is top notch. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her services.
Ally was the perfect sitter for our anxious dog. She gave him lots of attention and love so he relaxed and had a great time. I was nervous because we hadn’t used Rover before, but this was a great experience and will definitely use it again (with Ally of course!).
Lisa did such an amazing job taking care of Bunny while we were out of town. We got pics at every visit, and I could tell our pup got lots of attention. Lisa was able to take our last minute Thanksgiving weekend request, and she came over to meet Bunny a couple days in advance. I highly recommend Lisa!!!

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

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 Glenside 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.
