“Helena was the best! She took such great care of our dog all weekend long. I was not worried about him at all and that’s the best feeling having someone you’re comfortable with!”
“Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years and I also work at a doggy day care. I’m very comfortable and experienced with handling a lot of dogs at once, as well as different sizes, ages, breeds and temperaments. I also have experience caring for sick or injured dogs. On top of dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds and reptiles. I am currently finishing my psychology degree, and then moving on to my veterinary technician degree. My dream is to work with animals, and I’m eager for more experience to grow my resume! I work Tuesday-Friday, with Thursday and Friday being my longer shifts (8 hours). If your dog is okay being alone for that period of time, or if you only need me for one night, I am completely willing to board those nights! If not, I am completely available the whole day Saturday-Monday. Most of my dog sitting experience has been dog and house sitting in the clients home. I am a very clean and respectful guest, and I feel being at home makes it easier on the dogs when their parents are gone. Being in an unfamiliar place with a person they don’t know can be stressful, overstimulating and anxiety inducing for many dogs. My biggest priority is not only the safety and health but the happiness of the dogs I watch.
About: I am an employee of the Cat Hospital of Media as a Veterinary Assistant as well as a Pre-Vet student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have two dogs of my own, a bunny, a bearded dragon, and I love to care for my friends and family’s animals At any time Monday, after 4:30 Tuesday-Friday, any time on the weekend. Pet care at home could fall at any hour of the day, as mine are very active I assure all pets are attended to and enriched, spending time with them as well as respecting their space. Appreciating each animal’s unique character is important
About: Hi, I'm Meressa, I am 25 years old and I am from Haverford PA. My love of dogs has always been with me as I have had dogs my entire life. I started a dog walking business when I was 14 and pet sat and tended to my local neighborhood dogs. Giving a dog a great comforting and fun experience is what I want to provide and the reassurance of the dogs owners that they are in good safe hands. I have two dogs, a rabbit and a turtle and have plenty of experience with various animals. I hope to meet you all and your amazing dogs on rover! I am available mainly on Tuesdays and Thursdays but have availability the other weekdays/weekends. If you have any questions about availability please let me know!:) I always stay in contact with the owner and make it a point to send updates on your fur baby whenever I can. I want to make sure you as the owner and your pet will be comfortable with my services.
“Shannon was so great with our dog, and we will definitely use her again! She always arrived right on schedule, and made sure everything went smoothly, and sent plenty of pictures of how happy our pup was while in her care. This was our first time having a dog sitter in several years, and now feel very comfortable to do this more often.”
“Alexis took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a family wedding!!! I had just recently moved, and my cat is still traumatized by the move. Alexis ensured that he was eating and drinking. And she provided continuous updates, which helped my anxiety about leaving him. Thanks to Alexis I was able to enjoy the wedding!! I won’t hesitate to reach out to Alexis if I need a sitter again.”
About: As the mother of a 4 year old neutered Dalmatian and as a Veterinary Technician I come with the knowledge of wellness and emergency care as well as the exercise needs of your baby! You have a puppy or kitten that wants to play all day long ? No problem! I can teach him/her some basic training/tricks such as sit, stay, and the command “drop it” for safety reasons! (It can be both English and Spanish since I’m fluent on both languages!). You have a senior dog/cat that prefers to cuddle and sleep all day, and also needs medications and/or injections? I specialize in senior care! I am flexible regardless of age and breed! I can administer medication based on your preference and needs of your pet as well as feed and provide water as needed! My goal is to help your pet feel loved and at peace while you as the owner, get to have peace of mind with who your pet is with! *I provide a smoke, alcohol, and drug free home as well as a play mate if necessary for your dog!* *If your dog or cat is not dog friendly that’s no problem for boarding at my home! Both my dog and your pet can be separated upon request!* I have an open schedule throughout the week based on your needs as a client and the needs of your pet regardless of the time in the day! I provide a peaceful and quiet environment that fits perfect for an anxious pet but also a fenced backyard where your dog can run around for as long as they’ll like! I’m flexible for your needs and requests!
About: I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of pets! I’ve worked with trainers for reactive dogs (I have one of my own), and I also care for a senior cat with complex needs. I love all animals. Because I create my own schedule for nursing, I often have days and nights free for pet care! I have a car and can fit all sorts of animal care needs into my schedule. When caring for your pets, I will spend lots of time playing, giving them cuddles, and taking them outside when needed. I will make sure they are happy.
About: I've had multiple pet sitting jobs over the years, ranging from in house stays to drop in visits with dogs of all age ranges & energy levels! Although I didn't grow up with cats personally, I have plenty of experience taking care of and socializing them. I'm available at all hours to take care of your pets! I would be able to drop in at any time to care for and spend time with them. I grew up with a Husky/German shepherd mix and currently have a golden doodle! I've taken care of dogs of many different personalities, ages and energy levels as well. I love doing whatever I can to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible.
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. They were happy with her for every visit and always gave me updates, she seems to take great care for both of them and I would love to make her my cat sitter again!”
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was little, especially dogs. I never had one growing up, but would watch, walk, and feed others’, such as my neighbor’s and grandparents. Since my cat passed away, I have been looking to get a job working with animals. I promise to give your pet a great time and a new friend! I just graduated college May ‘26 and have a few part-time jobs over the summer. I typically have afternoons free, but it varies week by week! Watching your pet is a great way for me to stay active and help others :) I would prefer to watch your furry friends in their own house, seeing as I have many younger siblings, parents with allergies, and not much space for pets to run around. I am very used to minding for the safety of little children, so I will be sure your pet and your home stays well-protected!
About: Dogs have unique personalities and needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe and happy, and to give your pet plenty of play time. I've trained and worked with large dogs, but in the past couple years have been handling dogs under 30lbs. I've worked for the Four Seasons previously and know luxury service and how to anticipate needs. Some needs are the necessities, eat drink walk play. But some of our furry loved ones need a little more attention. I have full availability and can work around most schedules depending on client load. I look forward to meeting you are your furry loved one. I currently work for myself and my partner works from home. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule. I usually only need a days notice to accommodate pet care requests. I always respect the pets home for what their needs are and adhere to the clients requests, no matter how silly they may feel the need is. We all have that pet that needs something unique.
“Christel was wonderful!!! ☺️ She took the time to come and meet me and Lily first, and she took on the task of coming twice a day to feed Lily and give her seven oral medications each time - no small task. She sent pictures every time she visited, which gave me such peace of mind as I could see how happy and healthy my baby was. I immediately booked Christel again for my next out-of-town trip. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have been working at a dog boarding and daycare center in Virginia throughout college because of the happiness dogs bring me! I’ve had small dogs my entire life so I’ve learned about how to handle dog reactive dogs safely and securely! I’m currently on summer break, so I am able to work around most schedules for the next couple weeks. I try to stay healthy so walking dogs is a plus! I have a large backyard (unfenced so I would not let the dogs off leash) and one very nice toy poodle who just likes everyone.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Haverford
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.
Quinn was great with the animals. She was here to let our dogs have some outside time. The dogs were happy and not stressed upon our return. She reported on all the other animals as well, even the emu. She seems like a very nice person and animal friendly too of course.
Amir was outstanding. He handled two drop-in visits for my dogs, Gizmo and Carter, with total professionalism. Gizmo can be a bit aggressive, but Amir managed him calmly and confidently, earning his trust. Both dogs were walked, fed, and given bathroom breaks exactly as scheduled and instructed. Amir sent clear updates with photos after each visit. He’s reliable, patient, and skilled with different temperaments—Amir is the kind of sitter you can count on every time. I’m so happy I found his profile. Looking forward to future visits with him.
Alex sid twice-daily walks with our lab mix (who loved Alex immediately!) and provided care for our bearded dragon while we were out of town for a week. Our animals got great care and attention, and Alex was punctual and provided great daily communication. Highly recommend!

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 Haverford 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.
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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Haverford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
