“Ashley did a fantastic job caring for our two kittens! She was incredibly communicative and sent detailed recaps after each visit, along with great photos. She was patient with our kitties, and they became more and more comfortable with each visit—it was so great to see. We will definitely be booking with Ashley again!”

“I would absolutely recommend Tim and Ally if you are on the fence about who to chose from the long list of walkers on Rover. We had Tim drop in on our dog, Maebel for a long weekend. Each visit he was punctual, give us a great update and sent a picture! Our dog is older and can be particular about eating and walking, but Tim always reported back with an update that made us feel confident she was being cared for as if we would take care of her! Not to mention their pricing is below average on Rover compared to their level of care! They also were willing to schedule a meet up before the weekend to meet Maebel and walk through her typical routine. I fully trusted them entering and securing our house and caring for Maebel Absolutely choose Tim and Ally, We have also recommended them to our friends who have dogs!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labradoodles, and today my family has four dogs: Walter, a dachshund, Alvin, a Scottish terrier, and Husky and Frosty, two Siberian huskies. Caring for such different breeds has taught me that every dog needs something different. Huskies need a lot of exercise and a watchful eye, since they are known escape artists. Terriers can be stubborn and need patience and consistency. Dachshunds need gentle handling to protect their backs. I’m comfortable with high-energy big dogs and small dogs alike, and I pay attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and quirks. I'm also an avid runner so I'm able to adjust to faster-paced walks/jogs if need be. I don’t have class on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and I’m also free on weekends, so I’m fully available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I have a car, so getting to your home is easy. I want your dog to feel just as happy and comfortable with me as they do with you. I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure every walk is fun and safe. Having two huskies at home, I know how sneaky some dogs can be about slipping out a door, so I’m always careful about that. I’ll treat your home like my own and send you photos after each visit so you can see how much fun your pup is having. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away.

About: Hi there! My name is Megan, but I go by my middle name Jaime! I grew up with both cats and dogs. My first pet was a German Shepherd-Husky mix named Abby, and her strength could’ve pulled an arm out of its socket! She taught me so much about love and care for animals, and especially how to handle walking a big, strong dog. I have provided care to numerous dogs and cats (apart from my own) over the years. My cat, Maximus, is staunchly an only child, but I have found myself really missing canine companions, which is why I’d love to walk yours. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a flexible schedule due to still being in school, and have plenty of time for your pup! I would probably be going on a walk anyway, so I’m really looking forward to bringing canine companions with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I am very well versed in reading dogs’ cues, and will happily adhere to each dog’s individualized needs. I will never let a dog off their leash or put them in an unsafe or uncomfortable situation. Your dog is safe with me!

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 know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies when you're away from home, which is why I strive to provide top-notch daytime care. Whether I'm popping in for a drop-in visit or taking them out for some fresh air, my services include: feeding and medication per the pet parent’s instructions, plenty of walks, play time, and lots of cuddles (if they’re okay with that!) with photo updates throughout my visit. As an animal shelter volunteer, I especially have experience with cats, including kittens as young as 2 weeks old. Since I have recently moved to Philadelphia my availability is now completely open, which works out perfectly for scheduling visits! Any scheduling discrepancies will be communicated ASAP. My approach to pet care is centered on safety and maintaining a stress-free routine. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by double checking locks and removing potential hazards.

About: I have experience caring for senior dogs and understand how important patience, consistency, and extra attention can be for older pups. While living in Austin, Texas, I cared for a senior dog while his family was away on vacation and stayed in their home to make sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout their trip. I also have personal experience caring for my own senior dog, Logan, who is a very important part of my family. Caring for him has taught me to pay close attention to a dog's routine, personality, comfort, and individual needs. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult, so I always strive to provide loving, reliable care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages while they are away. I’m available for dog walks on weekdays, with the most flexibility on Mondays and Wednesdays, especially in the early morning. On weekends, I’m available for overnight pet sitting. Depending on the situation, I can either care for your pet in my home or stay at your home if that works best for you. I’m also happy to discuss whether your dog would be comfortable staying with my senior dog, Logan. I’m flexible and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for. During walks, I always use safe routes, keep pets secure on their leash, and pay close attention to their surroundings. During drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure pets have fresh water, food, bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. When caring for a pet in their home, I treat the home with the same respect and care I would give my own. I keep the environment clean and follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully. I also believe communication is an important part of building trust. I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

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.

I'll communicate clearly about my availability and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs and scheduling before confirming a booking.

I'll make sure your pet is supervised appropriately, kept secure on walks, and treated with patience and care. I'll also keep you updated during bookings so you know how your pet is doing.

Angelica is so terrific! We especially appreciate how she takes initiative to do things that we haven’t asked her to do, but that makes sense to do, like taking in the compost pails as we intended to ask her but forgot. When it comes to the pets, if she thinks of something we haven’t asked her to do, she runs it by us first! We feel very lucky to have her taken care of our pets.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Haverford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Haverford is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,640 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Haverford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 with handling special pet needs in Haverford. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
