“Haeley was wonderful! Communicative, responsive, and great with our cat. (I think he liked her better than he likes us!) We will absolutely ask her to come back next time!”
About: I have done dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager for family, friends, and neighbors. I have taken care of all different types of dogs of different ages and needs. I currently have a 6 month old puppy so I am used to that stage as well! I am at school most weekdays but can always do evenings 7 days a week. My schedule on weekdays during the day varies but I always have time available. I am very clean and neat and will not disrupt your living space or personal items when caring for your precious pets. I can follow whatever safety and security measures you prefer to access your pet.
“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”
“I have booked with Christina twice and she is great! I trust her with my babies. She got my one slow to trust cat to cuddle with her, which is the ultimate sign to me. I will definitely book with her in the future”
“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.”
“I have both an indoor cat and an outdoor stray that I care for and Paige did a fantastic job taking care of both of them while I was away for a week. She even managed to get my timid cat to trust her, which is no small feat. I can absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment for pets while following their routines closely. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement as well as senior pets who require gentler care, patience, and extra attention. I also make sure pet owners feel connected by providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit. I currently have a flexible schedule and am fully available during the summer, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent pet care throughout the week. I am able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and I am happy to work around your pet’s routine. I treat every pet like family and prioritize communication, providing regular updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected and confident in their care. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop-in visits, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own home and familiar environment. During each visit, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, litter box care (for cats), and any specific routines or medications. For dog walks, I prioritize safety at all times by using secure leashing, paying close attention to surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise based on their energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive care, companionship, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, ensuring it is left clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I also provide consistent updates with photos and messages so you always feel informed and connected to your pet. My goal is to give your pet reliable, safe, and stress-free care while giving you complete peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of dogs a lot throughout my life. I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood all the time. 4 years ago I got my own puppy and trained him. Now we walk around 5 miles everyday I walk my dog multiple times a day and I love to go on long walks. I have a waitressing job in the summer and I like to spend the rest of my days outside playing with dogs. I care for my puppy so much and I am always playing with him and never leaving him by himself. I make sure that he is always happy and healthy
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with all kinds of personalities, including anxious, reactive, and “misbehaved” dogs. I know how to stay calm in stressful situations and understand that patience and consistency are important, especially with dogs that have trauma or anxiety. I’m not afraid of big dogs or dogs that pull, and I know how to safely handle and walk strong pullers. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, and I always make sure dogs feel comfortable, safe, and respected. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions to make sure every dog gets the attention and care they need. I’m very lenient with my time and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can easily squeeze in a walk or babysitting whenever needed. I’m very good at giving animals the space they need while still supervising them carefully, and I’m also great at maintaining routines to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also follow any rules or instructions necessary for each specific animal to make sure they receive the best care possible.
“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”
“Katherine was friendly and easy to communicate with. She was great with our dog and did everything as we requested. I highly recommend Katherine and will be happy to use her services again!”
About: As an experienced dog owner and longtime shelter volunteer, I genuinely love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I get super excited about active outdoor time like hiking, but what I enjoy most is giving dogs real mental stimulation through training while they're with me. Whether it's helping a puppy master basic manners, keeping an adult dog sharp, or just teaching fun new tricks, keeping their brains busy is the secret to a happy, well-behaved pet. I'd love to help your pup burn off energy, learn a few things, and come home totally tired and content! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so there is always someone at home to provide supervision, companionship, and care. My flexible schedule allows me to take dogs out for walks, potty breaks, playtime, or attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because I am home regularly, I can also adapt to each dog’s needs, whether they prefer a consistent routine, extra exercise, medication schedules, or more frequent bathroom breaks. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and part of a calm, reliable environment. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home. I live in a 1200 sq ft apartment with a dog park downstairs, which is great for walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I have 1 dog and no children, my dog is very friendly with all dogs. I understand every dog and household has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, so I always do my best to accommodate each client’s needs. I am flexible with crate use, furniture rules, feeding schedules, exercise preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Emily! I’m 21 and have been dog sitting/walking on and off for about 6 years. I’ve always had a deep love for all animals. I’m well versed on animal behavior, and know how to read dog’s emotional cues very well. I love to get out and be active so why not do it with a little friend by my side! I would love to spend time with your pet no matter the size, breed, or age:) I’m currently available all day Monday, all day Tuesday, Wednesdays after 3pm, Thursdays until 5pm, all day Friday, and Sunday after 3pm! I also have my own dog at home who needs to be taken care of and I work part time! If i’m chosen to take care of your pet while you are away, I will ensure they get lots of love and attention. Every rule I am given will be followed to a T.
“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!”
About: Hello! I am Havyn and I have lots of personal experience caring for big and small dogs and cats. I have had many types of dogs and cats and have been the caretaker of those pets since the age of 7. I will play, walk, and/or run with your pets or play with them at my home with any of their favorite toys. I will also take them to any local dog parks, on bike trails, or anything else that is nearby if you please. 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!
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 27 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.

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 :)
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!!!

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 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 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.
