“I’m glad I found Emily, as soon as we met I felt comfortable with her taking care of my dog and cat. I love my dog but she can be a handful haha. Emily totally got it, and was perfect with her from the start. Very responsive, clearly capable, did everything I requested. I can’t recommend enough. Thanks, Emily!”
“Ella did a wonderful job of caring for our Maya. With frequent picture updates, we knew she was having a blast. Ella was easy to communicate with and kept our Maya safe.”
“Another successful booking with Helena and our two dogs. This is our second time booking with her. She's so good with updating us while we're gone and I love how she varies her walking routes with them every day. I highly recommend her!”
“Alexis came through last minute on a holiday and did a great job taking care of our 3 month old pup. She got to our home early, listened to all our instructions, and handed our house back in one piece lol.”
“Alyssa was responsive and took great care of our cat. She sent us cute pictures of him during each visit, which is so nice. We'll definitely rebook with Alyssa next time we have to travel!”
“Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Kate. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life and have been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for years. I am currently available part time in the evenings and on weekends. I have experience with walking, playing a variety of games to run off some extra energy, going on runs, and just keeping your pet company while you are away! I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes and love getting to know the personality of each dog! I also cat sit, I have experience with young cats up to senior cats. Currently, I am available in the evenings after work at 5:30pm and on weekends for walking or drop in visits. I can be flexible on timing if morning walks are needed as some days I work from home. In client’s homes, I will follow the same procedures you have in place to ensure your pet is safe. If you have any specific requests, I will follow them accordingly.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
About: Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as a care taker for your animal while you are away! I have grown up with dogs (and the occasional bird & fishies). For the past 12 years, I've lived with and visited my best bud Zeke at my parent's house. I would love to have a dog of my own in the future, however for now I am hoping and so happy to take care of other's loved ones during the week and on weekends! I'm an active individual and enjoy taking dogs on walks, for car rides and the occasional ice cream or pup cup. I will give your animal all the love that they've come to expect because they certainly deserve it! Please reach out with any questions, and thanks again for thinking of me! :) I currently work full time (9-5) Monday-Friday, however I usually work from home Friday's and am available on weekends for full time pet care. During the week, I am able to visit (feed, walk, take out for bathroom needs) early in the morning (between 5:30 am to 7 am and in the evening (between 6-9 pm) In my current apartment, pets are welcome visitors. However, I am also happy to visit your home multiple times a day and stay with your pet when needed, especially if you are close! I work only 20 minutes away so I would have ample time in the morning and especially in the evening to stop by to feed, toilet, walk and play with your pet! This is especially great if your pet doesn’t do well in a new environment; I am happy to provide them with everything they’d need in a place where they feel the most comfortable!
“Victoria was amazing with my 5 month old puppy, Luka. She walked him even when it was very hot outside but still made sure he got his exercise and outdoor time! She made sure to feed him and give him water, taking care of my pups wellbeing:) I will definitely be rebooking for future walks!!”
“Dana was great and was really flexible with being able to come in at short notice. She also took really good care of our kitty and was great and keeping us up to date.”
About: As a mother and a teacher, I have developed the fine art of caregiving. My love of animals is demonstrated not only through play and cuddles, but also by providing the routine and structure pets need in order to feel safe and secure. This balance is so important for the animals we love, as well for ourselves. I practice this balance in my own life through daily excercise, especially walking and yoga. This is another reason why I welcome walking your dog at any pace they are accustomed to or simply snuggling with him/her on your living room floor. In addition, I hold a Masters Degree in Special Education and currently tutor students privately. I am happy to provide references who can speak to my responsible work ethic and character upon your request. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! My private tutoring schedule allows me to be home with your pet mornings and afternoons and I’m never gone more than 3 to 4 hours. I have a large fenced yard and a clean, contained indoor space for your pet to enjoy! When your pet spends time in my yard I will accompany them even though it is completely fenced
About: Hi! I'm a life long dog owner, have had and been around dogs and cats my entire life, I was a foster dog parent for several years and looking to help those in need of dog care. In the past, I've fostered puppies, dogs with anxiety and senior dogs and adopted them out to loving homes. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, shapes and woofers, any medical issues and am willing to work with any behavioral situations that other may not be willing to. I currently have 2 black labs at my home so full-time overnight house sitting is difficult but willing to work with anyone in need. I am available weekdays and weekends with notice and open to reoccurring visits. I have 2 labs at home, so full-time overnight visits are difficult. I'm very much willing to do pre-visits before your time away to "warm up" for both your pets and me Over my life, I've had all sizes of dogs, garden-diggers, fence-jumpers, and all kinds of health issues to work with. Most any needs your pets have, I'm willing to work with you to support your pet/s. I'm comfortable with both large and small dogs and completely willing to work with you if your situation has anxiety or outward aggressive behavior. Personally, I'm a supporter of no-harm training, while some cases take longer, positive reinforcement in the long run benefits everyone.
About: I am a proud pet parent to two fur babies, a pug and tabby cat. Our pets are important members of our family. Your pet will get the love and care they deserve while you are away. I know the importance of trusting a good pet sitter. I work part-time. I have flexibility in my day as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of availability in the summer as well. I can care for pets in my home. They would be a good playmate for my dog. We have a fenced in yard. My dog loves walks. I would follow your specific instructions when coming into your home.
“Mackenzie was great! She helped with my dog with special needs (deaf, partially blind) over the holidays. She communicated well with updates and pictures every day, and she worked through some bad winter weather! I am very particular with who I trust with my dog, and we would definitely use her again.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including overnight stays, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding routines, playtime, litter box care, and administering medications. I’ve cared for pets with a variety of personalities and needs — from energetic dogs who need extra exercise to shy cats who need patience and time to feel comfortable. For many years, I provided in-home pet sitting, including staying overnight in clients’ homes and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners were away. I currently have two long-term clients whose homes I continue to stay in regularly, but now that I have my own pet at home, I am focusing on drop-in visits and walks for new clients. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule as a personal trainer. I often have breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide midday walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets while their owners are away. I’m already used to building my schedule around the needs of others, whether that’s my clients or their pets, and I love having animals as part of my day. Outside of work, I’m an active person who enjoys running and spending time outdoors, so I especially enjoy helping dogs get exercise and enrichment. For cats, I love taking the time to provide calm companionship, playtime, and care that keeps them comfortable in their own home. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets quality attention — including walks, bathroom breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, cleanup, and lots of affection. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so my goal is to make your home feel like a safe, stress-free place while you’re gone.
About: I grew up in a household that always had at least one pet; everything from turtles, birds, hamsters, to 2 cats and 4 dogs. I've always loved animals and would love to meet your pet too! Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow for pets, I'm hoping meeting and caring for your pets will bring me the same joy I have when I'm at home! I took care of two elderly dogs for the last two years - one who required full time attention including administering medicine. My schedule is super flexible! I work mostly in the evenings and am free on the weekends. My roommate is also a dog lover and would be more than happy to have a furry friend stay with us. I currently rent a small apartment with a friend, but we are just a few blocks from a dog park! The space is a bit small, but I have had dogs stay with me in the past with no issue!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Haverford
Dion took fantastic care of our cat and dog when dropping in for a walk, or playtime, or putting them to bed! My wife and I loved getting her notes and photos with each Drop-In visit and we could tell the pets both loved her care (although our cat needed a few visits to warm up). I would recommend Dion to any and all of my friends for any pet sitting needs!
Dabney has been so good with our dog. We were in a desperate situation for an all-day thing away from home and we communicated with Dabney just the evening before, late, and she was able to come two times that Saturday to walk our 1yo puppy. We've used her ever since and she's been wonderful. On time, reliable, and good with our dog. Highly recommend Dabney for Bryn Mawr-area dogsitting!
Meera was fantastic and the best dog sitter we have ever had, by far. She made sure our dog’s needs were all met and gave her so much love and companionship during our time away. She was prompt, responsible and provided multiple check in photos a day and constant updates. Highly recommend!
Mackenzie was great! She helped with my dog with special needs (deaf, partially blind) over the holidays. She communicated well with updates and pictures every day, and she worked through some bad winter weather! I am very particular with who I trust with my dog, and we would definitely use her again.

Before booking, confirm:

- 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 Haverford 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.

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 .
