“Margaret always does a great job when she watches our kitties and we appreciate her so much! Both cats seem well-adjusted and calm in the report card photos (which we love seeing while on vacation!) and when we get home, so I know she has a gentle approach to their daily care that they seem to feel comfortable with.”
About: My laberdoodle, Cody, passed away about a year and a half ago. We brought him home at 6 weeks old and had the opportunity to spend 13 amazing years with him. Within those 13 years, I gained the exposure and knowledge to care for a dog during all life cycles— puppy and senior. Cody also had epilepsy, so I am familiar with giving medication and what to look for/ warning signs in dogs with epilepsy and senior dogs. I am also a dog walker/sitter for a beautiful 3 year old rescue named Wheezie. Spending time with her has brought so much joy to my life. My schedule is very open right now and I’m extremely flexible so please feel free to message me for drop-ins, house sitting, or last minute bookings! I am also extremely active and would love to take your dogs for a walk and get my steps! Looking forward to chatting! I am currently in between jobs and looking to do something in the meantime! I’d like to combine my love for animals and walking whilst doing something flexible to my schedule. I treat all animals as if they’re my own. Always respecting the dogs space and property is #1. I have a fenced in yard with a pool if they need to come back here for any reason!
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have any dogs around. I've learned how to take care of senior dogs while also being fortunate enough to have raised and trained a new puppy. I have experience with small dog breeds as well as large dog breeds. I currently work full-time, but I work from home! I am very active with my dog, constantly taking her on walks and to the park, always trying to get exercise when we can! There is a beautiful walking path next to where I live where I love taking my dog for a walk (on & off leash). I have a travel crate that goes with me on visits if needed as well.
“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”
“Rebecca was amazing!! We have a 1 year old, very large St. Bernard mix that can be a little crazy and Rebecca handled her very well. We appreciated how well she communicated and was thorough with her updates. Good pet sitters are hard too find and we’re so glad we found her and plan to use her again in the future!”
“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter than Margo! She was so wonderful with my senior cat. She went above and beyond, cleaning up her after her and even taking out her litter bags to the trash. I will definitely hire Margo again whenever I need someone I trust to take care of my girl.”
About: I grew up with a big Labradoodle and have lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and even stay overnight with their pups. I love spending time with every dog and getting to know what makes each one special! I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule! I am available for sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine! I follow each pet’s routine, including feedings, walks, and any special care. I keep everything clean, give pets plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing!
“My pups enjoy their daily visits from Chen for a midday exercise and potty breaks! This dog mom is happy as well knowing that they are being cared for and getting belly rubs even when I’m not there. Chen makes sure to send me updates with a cute pic and some notes on how the visit went! Thank you Chen, we couldn’t be more pleased with your services!”
“Richard was amazing with my dog Julio I didn’t have to worry about anything with him or the dog, he was on time very polite and respectful. He took amazing care of my baby and I will definitely be booking him more often”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs that my family had ever since I was 10 years old. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities due to my job as a vet technician! I currently have a Portuguese Water Dog who I take on daily trail walks or to the field for exercise and play. I prioritize safety, fun, and lots of love—I treat every dog like family. I can help reinforce basic commands, provide mental stimulation games, and keep you updated with photos and videos so you feel connected while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for like my own! I currently Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday for majority of the day until around 4 pm. Monday and Tuesday I have off of work so I am totally free those days. I would be able to help with pet care after my job the days I work or anytime during my off days! I know plenty of dog-friendly fields/parks and scenic trails where your pup can enjoy exercise and mental stimulation in a secure way. At home, I have a friendly Portuguese Water Dog who loves to play. Dogs are welcome on the bed and furniture for maximum comfort—just like family at my place!
“Paige was great at taking care of my dog! He’s a larger shepherd, so he can be a handful - but she handled it without any issues. Would absolutely recommend. Very professional, on time and worked around some issues that came up with the booking.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I love dog walking and treat my pets like they’re part of my family. I work from home and have plenty of time to give each pet I watch the attention it deserves! I’m currently working from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care and play with your pets! I’m available for boarding during the week/weekends, as well as drop-in-visits and dog walking. I have one small dog and two cats and therefore have everything I need at home to care for your pet! I have a crate, pet carriers, leashes, toys, and plenty of yard space.
About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and love keeping pets happy and comfortable with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with different routines or needs, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. I work a full-time job during the week, but I have the flexibility to work remotely, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the day when needed. I’m also fully available on weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and longer visits. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following their normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure by keeping their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules. I’m respectful of their home and always keep their space clean and tidy. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: My beloved pet Cookie just passed away at age 18. I gave her plenty of love and care and will do the same for your dog/s. Can’t wait to snuggle with your pet and treat him or her like Family. I live in the Garnet Valley School District and have lots of time to give your dog happy hellos, soft snuggles and loyal Friendship. I have experience in letting dogs out from at their home and taking dogs for walks when owners are away on vacation. I love making dogs happy with kind words, food/treats, sitting next to them and rubbing their belly. My home is perfect for boarding because I live in a quiet, traffic free area and it safe to walk or board your adorable pet. I also have a gated deck to enjoy fresh air when the weather is nice. If your preference is to leave your furry friend in your home, I would gladly come out to your home to look after your pet/s in their familiar environment.
“Elena did an amazing job with our boys! We have a very large excited Labrador we were nervous about leaving with someone new, but she handled him amazingly! I was very happy with all the updates and pictures she left us while we were gone. Would highly recommend:)”
About: While I don’t have much experience in pet care with other people’s animals, I have some experience with taking care of my family’s pets when instructed to (even at times when I almost forget to.) I’m currently doing a art class until the 20th and is volunteering at the cat cafe from time to time so my availability may vary. I’ve done my family’s pets’ cat litters from time to time. Although I am not the only person that does this in my family, I do have experience with cleaning litters and giving food to them. I have been a volunteer at a cat cafe that a friend of mine was a part of for a while now. We would clean the cats’ litter boxes, food bowls, make sure that they are clean and the cats are fed, and clean the cafe along with organizing the cats’ toys so it’s easy for the cats to navigate.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gradyville
Rose was amazing! We just moved to East Falls and needed a last minute sitter for a family trip. She was so sweet and communicative throughout the whole visit! She sent great photos and I could tell our cat felt safe and cozy with her right away. We were so relieved to have our sweet cat in good hands! 10/10 would highly recommend and am so happy to have found a sitter in the area. Would definitely book again for future trips. Thank you Rose!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
