“Lauren is amazing. I have very difficult cats that really only love their family. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure that my girls were well loved and taken care of even through they were not as receptive to her. I would recommend Lauren to anyone. She kept me updated and worked on solutions to issues that popped up with my girls. 100 out of 10 !! You can be sure that your loved ones (animals) are well taken care of.”
“Courtney has been amazing! We got stuck out of the country, and she stepped up to help make sure my 3 cats were taken care of. She even made extra visits when my elderly ill cat had accidents. Thank you for making sure my cats were safe and cared for when I couldn’t be there!”
“Lucy was very attentive to my cat, Colby, and kept me well informed with pictures which showed all her arrival times as well as a happy cat. I will definitely ask her to cat-sit again!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
“Keri was so wonderful- I really appreciated her communication and kindness throughout the time she came over to hangout with our kitten while we were away! Very timely in communicating and also was able to do a meet and greet with us before we went away. Highly recommend her, she was wonderful with our cat!”
“Ally has been absolutely wonderful. We recently got a mini goldendoodle puppy and she has been spending a few hours per week caring for and training her when we can’t be home. She has been flexible, very reliable (has even stayed extra a few times), and has taken such good care of our curious little Summer. She has given us loads of recommendations (vet, grooming, food, etc) based on her experience as this is our first time having a puppy. Ally even brought Summer a few of her own dog toys. She has really gone above and beyond our expectations and we are thrilled!”
About: I've had pets for most of my life and have cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of consistency with young pets and can help reinforce good habits and routines. For senior pets, I'm happy to provide the extra care, patience, and attention they may need. I'm currently home from college and work part time at a local elementary school until their summer starts. I am available most days of the week and at most hours. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, provide playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs and personality. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, spend time playing or socializing with them, and make sure they have a calm, stress-free environment.
About: Hi! I grew up with cats and dogs, and had small animals during college (much to my dorm RA's chagrin LOL) - a hamster, gerbil, snake, and a rat. Currently my daughter and I have four wonderful cats, including an orange female that keeps us on our toes 😁, and a Betta fish. With friends and family, I am surrounded by dogs - from Chihuahua to Greyhound - and I love them all! I often pet sit and walk a variety of pawsome pups 🐾 ❤️. I'm comfortable with any type of pet (feline, canine, reptile, bird, small mammals, etc.) and would be honored to care for yours. Let's face it, pets can be better than people, and they deserve to be treated with the unconditional love they show us!! 😊 I am self-employed, and have ultimate flexibility to care for your pets on your schedule, day or night! I am available for one-off arrangements, when you are traveling, or on-going regular care. I'm especially happy to spend as much time as needed with your fur babies, to ensure they are well-loved and enriched while you are away! In my own home, I can care for caged animals, such as small mammals, reptiles, birds, or fish. They would be kept in a closed room that is off limits to our cats. For your cats and dogs, I happy to come to your home and spend as much time as needed feeding, cleaning, playing, walking, etc. In addition, if the fit is right, I am happy to welcome your dog into my home during the day for doggie daycare.
About: I worked for 3 years at a doggie daycare/ boarder while in college and it’s still some of my fondest memories! I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fishes, and even ferrets! Safe to say I’m the biggest animal lover!! I’m currently working full time at an elementary school meaning I get done work earlier than the average 9-5! I’m looking to take care of your bestie from after work (3:40pm) til 10pm on weekdays! My weekends are flexible! I’m very respectful of people time, homes, and money! I hope you will consider me to watch your playful pups or cute kitties!:) contact me!
“Rachel was great! She was on time each day and really helped me out when I wasn’t able to handle some of the cat chores myself. She’s very polite and has a great personality. We would absolutely have her care for our cat again and would recommend her to others!”
“Marian is fantastic, kind, and intuitively wonderful. We have two girls who are wary of new people so we set up multiple drop-in visits to acclimate and get to know each other ahead of a day-long stay. Marian worked really well to gain their trust and I’m thrilled that we met and have someone we can trust.”
“Haley was fantastic! Extremely friendly, reliable, and completely natural with our cats. She followed all of our instructions, took excellent care of them, and sent wonderful photos during our time away. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands and would absolutely book her again.”
About: My name is Christian. I am kind, gentle, and fun loving. I will walk, run, exercise, and play fetch with your dog and care for him/her as if he/she were one of my own. I will walk any dog, any size, age, or breed. I’ve always enjoyed dogs a lot. Your dogs will have such a fun time they won’t want to leave. I am available seven days a week rain or shine and my hours are flexible. No matter what, you can count on me to walk your dog. If you require any special requests just let me know and I will see what I can do. If you need your pet washed I can do that too. I look forward to walking your dog!
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, fish, and reptiles! I also specialize in plant care and home management. I have experience walking small/big, quiet/loud, old/young dogs! Also, I specialize in administrating medicine to animals. I'm currently working part time during the week. I take care of pets in the morning from 6am-8am and then at 5pm and later. I am available to house-sit and pet-sit all day on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. In a client's home, I am respectful and observant of the environment. I will handle the animals and home with the utmost care and safety. I will triple check to make sure the dog leash is on, fence is closed, door is locked, etc!
“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!”
“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!”
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
“On Kendra's first visit, She literally went through a methodical checklist of things to ask to get to know out cat, his needs, and our preferences, even including plant watering and bringing in packages. She's incredibly thorough and leaves detailed pictures and feedback and also is just super nice and fun!”

Haley was fantastic! Extremely friendly, reliable, and completely natural with our cats. She followed all of our instructions, took excellent care of them, and sent wonderful photos during our time away. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands and would absolutely book her again.
Lauren is amazing!! She took such good care of our kitty on a weekend that we were feeling really sad to leave him. She made us feel so much better and sent plenty of pictures and videos and even went above and beyond what we asked. We will definitely be one of Lauren’s new regulars :)
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.
Sarafina did a great job caring for my cat, Lawrence! He just needed daily drop-in visits and she sent lots of photos. She stopped by beforehand to make sure she knew exactly what he needed and was friendly and knowledgeable! She did an excellent job with my instructions and gave him plenty of playtime while she stopped in. I highly recommend Sarafina for any of your pets needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Glenside on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,999 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.
