“Courtney is reliable, caring, and generous with her time and attention. Her consistent communication is always much appreciated while we’re away. Our cat loves her visits. She has adjusted so quickly to his changing routines, and we are so grateful!”
“Lauren did a great job with our difficult cat. She was patient with her, getting her from hisses and growls to pets at the end. Lauren kept me up to date on her daily visits.”
“So glad to have found Lucy. The pictures made me feel so much better while I was away. My one cat can be very hesitant with new people so to see him eating and coming for attention really shows her caring talent.”
“Keri did an excellent job making sure our cats were happy while we were away! She is kind, thorough, and very communicative, as well as great with animals. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Marian is super knowledgeable and comforting. It was our first time using rover and she put us at ease. Our cat is pretty low maintenance but it just made us feel better having her pop by for a quick visit and a refresh. Thanks Marian!”
“Couldn’t be happier with Shelby. She was gentle with my cats and is a genuinely caring pet sitter. Even though my big guy refused to engage (our girl cat liked her) photos assured me my fur babies were well taken care of. She communicated well and accommodated a last minute holiday request. 10/10 would use her again!🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Ryan has once again been a superior minder of my aging and rather needy cat Sheba. I appreciate the sense of security I had, particularly with the forecast of possible serious winter weather arriving in my absence. Thank you Ryan!”
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“Natalie helped with our last minute request. When she came for a meet and great, our dog took to her right away. Our dog acted like she’d known her for years! I highly recommend Natalie!!”
About: I have an 11 year old senior dog who I’ve trained in eating, using the bathroom, tricks, and other manners since he was born. I’m known to my family and close friends as the pet-obsessed girl, who says hi to every animal I pass on the street. By picking me as your animal’s caretaker, your picking a complete animal-lover who will love your pets just as much as you do❤️ As a college athlete, I often take walks around my neighborhood on my own for leisurely time. I’d be over the moon happy to have a companion to take these walks with, or even take them to the park to get some play time together! Along with loving animals, I also would describe myself as being a pretty clean and organized person. However you leave your home is how I will leave it for you when you return.
“Cathy was all I could have hoped for in a caregiver for my sweet kitty. She was loving and followed my directions carefully. Philly was happy to see me when I got home, but calm and content. She had eaten her normal amount of food and Cathy sent pics of Philly playing! The pics were very reassuring. Thank you Cathy.”
“Barb is the greatest and the best! We are always happy when she has an opening for us. The dog is calm and relaxed, and we get to see the walks she took while we were gone! Barb is flexible and patient with the dog and with us. Thanks, Barb!”
About: Hi! I’m Nara and I’m a lifelong animal lover so naturally, I’ve had a lot of pets. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all sizes, energy levels, temperaments and abilities. Im great at creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. As a spicy cat mom, I know how to read and respect boundaries. I promise to treat your pets like they’re my own, always showing them care, patience, and respect. I’ll make sure they’re well-fed, comfortable, and get their energy out with playtime, affection, and my full attention. I’m reliable and will always send a detailed daily update with photos. I mostly offer drop-ins and walks, but can accommodate overnight visits on special occasions. Just reach out to chat about how to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m happy to work with you. Just let me know what you need and we’ll figure it out together! I’ll touch base with you to figure out the best routine and specific needs for your pet. I’ll stay in touch and keep you updated at the end of each visit.
“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.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenside
This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and after Lauren, we’ll never be returning to boarding 🙌🏾 I was a little nervous about leaving my pup but Lauren made me feel at ease with her warm, calm demeanor and her EXPERTISE! Lauren came highly recommended and her reputation speaks for itself. She was on time for each visit and sent LOADS of cute videos and pictures. She followed my instructions and communicated when necessary with any questions or concerns. My fur baby looked happy and comfortable in my home and NOT STRESSED. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying! I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a kind, dedicated pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services for our future travels.
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!).
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.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Glenside on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,638 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Glenside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glenside. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
