“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.”
“Abby has helped me out last minute a few times and I’ve been so grateful for her help! Our anxious dog, Buddy, knows her name now! He gets so excited when I say “Abby is coming soon” :)”
“Steph was great while spending an evening with my two girls. She is responsive, friendly, kind & made me feel so secure while away from my pups. We’d love to book her again in the future!”
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.
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
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.
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me
About: I have Taken care of my family dog my entire life and overnight pet sit for many families in the past. I have worked with all types of dogs I am currently a part time student so I have lots of time that I spend at home and I’m pretty flexible! I have a part time job as well. I know the area well and I have done a lot of walks and sitting with dogs around philly in the past! I’ll be in the area for at least 3 more years for school.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was a young. I currently have a cat and three dogs. My cats vary in size from about 30 lbs up to well over 100 lbs. I am very active and love going on walks and playing with cats and dogs. I’m currently a student at Haverford College. I am available mostly on the weekends but also weekday nights. Some weekdays work but mostly outside typical work hours I can easily travel to take the best care of your pets. I love playing with animals and having a great time with them. I can not take care of any animals at my school housing
“Scott has watched my dog, Oso, several times. I wish I could keep using him as my dog sitter but I am moving further away. My dog can be a little crazy sometimes so I appreciate when people can put up with him! Scott is very kind, communicative, and Oso seems to have a great time with him. Thank you again!!”
“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.”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets through my own animals and by helping care for others’ pets. I am the owner of two cats and two dogs, and I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box care, basic grooming, and monitoring behavior and health. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including large breeds such as German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers, as well as small and medium-sized dogs. I previously owned two German Shepherds and currently help care for a Bichon Poodle, Labradoodle, and Standard Poodle. I have also cared for dogs with special needs, including a deaf dog and a dog with seizures, and I am comfortable administering oral medications, whether mixed with food or given directly. I also have experience caring for a dog from a puppy mill background who required extra patience and gentle support to come out of their shell. I prioritize creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, supported, and cared for. I treat every pet like family and always focus on their comfort, safety, and happiness. I currently work full time, but pet care is a regular part of my daily routine as I care for two cats and two dogs of my own. I am available on weekends and on select weekdays, and during those times I am able to dedicate focused, quality time to feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m intentional about scheduling so that pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferences. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and affectionate attention while ensuring their environment stays clean and safe. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering oral medications. I prioritize a calm, secure, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable, supported, and at ease, whether they are in their own home or mine.
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.
About: I'm an experienced sitter who loves taking care of dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I'm flexible and happy to work with pet parents on their pets' needs. I can play with your cat while you're away at work or vacation, take your dog on fun walks, stop by to feed them if you're out for an afternoon, and more. Just let me know what you need! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies :) The only times I'm unavailable are Sundays between 12pm-9pm, and some Saturdays between 10am-4pm. I offer care and company for pets in my clients' home, and am skilled in ensuring your pet feels comfortable with me. Safety is my #1 priority, so I'll follow whatever the specifics and guidelines of your home are.
“Melissa has been flexible and supportive when caring for my puppy! She's been thoughtful in suggesting ideas to help Toffee be more comfortable alone (she's not used to my schedule of going back to the office a few days a week yet). I appreciate the ease of mind she provides when I can't be home with my cutie.”
About: I love animals, I have grown up owning dogs my entire life! Growing up our family dogs were a Bernese Mountain dog and a Rodeshian Ridgeback that I loved to spoil with love and care! I now have a French bull dog named Rigatoni that’s 4 and he’s a love! I have also cared for family and friends animals of all sizes throughout my life by either staying in their home or doing drop ins! I consider animals to be like humans they deserve as much love and care as we do! My goal while caring for your pet is to make them feel as comfortable with me as they would with their parent! I want them to warm up to me with ease so I will make sure to enter into their territory on their timeframe! I have a full time day job and am available for care after 6pm on week nights and available on weekends! Let me know what works best with your needs! I live in a very safe neighborhood with a dog park nearby! Lots of area to play, trails for walks, and lots of other friendly dogs to play with if your animals are up for it!

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.
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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
