About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who turned my passion into a professional career. I have over 4 years of experience as an independent pet sitter, specializing in the care that requires an extra level of attention and expertise. Whether your pet is a playful kitten or a beloved senior, I treat every animal like family. My background is specifically focused on Senior & Disabled Care: Supporting older pets with mobility issues or specialized routines.

I do not do boarding all daycares are held in public usually along trails or at local dog parks!
About: What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m used to having a busy schedule and balancing school, work, and other commitments, so I take my responsibilities seriously and make sure I follow through. I’m also very active and would love to keep your dog moving with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! Most importantly, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

“Michell and Tiago took great care of our cat Loona, and the photos and videos we got showed Loona happy and healthy too! Michell was very communicative and kept me in the loop of any updates. I was so reassured by their care for Loona, and would would definitely book again!”
“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.”
About: I have had a dog for 20 years, my whole life! I have watched other dogs for 10 years by letting them out, walking them, or overnights. I love playing with dogs! I am a college student on break and am free daily! I work at a restaurant but only picking up shifts so will be free a lot of the time! I have a fenced in yard for pets to run around! My neighborhood is a great spot for long walks! I have a small friendly little dog who loves to play.
About: I grew up around animals and have had several dogs myself, so I know how l'd like my dog treated as a pet owner. I regularly take care of family and friends' dogs when they're away and have gotten along with pretty much any dog l've ever met. I am currently not working a full time job and have most days available including weekend days. I can match my schedule to your pet care needs. After greeting your dog and either running around the backyard or getting in a good walk to tucker them out, I'll make sure they have all the food, water, and pets they need while you're away
“Joy was very responsible and kept me updated with lots of pics & videos. She always made sure my cats were well taken care of and would often stay a little longer to play with them and give them some extra attention. I really appreciated how caring and reliable she was and would definitely book her again!”
About: I work part-time for an independent pet-sitting company and have lots of sitting and walking experience. I grew up taking care of family dogs and have recently become accustomed to cat care as well. Employed part-time and a part-time student (asynchronous schedule). Generally very available and plenty of flexibility. I’m especially open to sitting on the weekends. I don’t have a fenced yard, but am more than willing to transport pets to a more favorable outdoors spot to play/relax. There are two cats in my home, but I’m able to keep them separated for extended periods of time.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I offer help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, litter box and potty care, crate routines, and giving basic medications when needed. I also work on reinforcing training cues so pets can stay consistent with whatever structure they already have at home. I’m very attentive and patient, and I pay close attention to animal body language so I can understand how each pet is feeling and what they need. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, or routine focused pets who do best with calm energy and a steady, reassuring presence. I am available for pet care throughout the day depending on scheduling needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can be flexible and adjust my time to make sure pets are getting regular attention, exercise, and companionship. No matter the situation, I make sure pet care is something I can fully show up for and prioritize. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as consistent weekly schedules or occasional last-minute needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a clean, calm environment. In clients’ homes, I respect routines and spaces while ensuring pets are supervised, comfortable, and stress-free. I stay alert on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate promptly if anything seems off.
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals including cats, dogs, turtles, mice, guinea pigs, parrots, and fish. Today, I am a proud pet parent to three furry babies of my own: two cats and one anxious ChiPoo rescue. Raising an anxious pup has taught me how to provide the patient, gentle care that sensitive pets need to feel safe. Over the years, I have cared for many neighborhood and family pets. This includes hands-on experience with administering medication, maintaining strict walking routines, and carefully managing animals that don't get along with others. I am dedicated to giving your pets all the love they deserve while strictly respecting their unique boundaries and routines I'm currently in between jobs and schooling. My availabity is very open on weekdays and varies on weekends. Mostly in the Manayunk-Roxborough larger area, but willing to travel further for longer commitments. I provide reliable, patient supervision tailored directly to your pet’s unique medical or routine requirements. Whether managing active play or comforting an anxious pet, safety and trust are always my main focus.
About: I absolutely adore taking care of animals: I have previous experience caring for and walking trained house pets as well as untrained shelter animals. I’m able to provide personalized and reliable care for your pets to keep them happy and safe while you’re away! I’ll make sure to care for the pets like my own, through walks, playtime, feeding and more! I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I always have time to take care of your pets throughout the week! I am available midday every day, as well as evenings most weeknights and weekends. I will always prioritize the care of your pet, making sure to constantly supervise them, engage with them, and make them feel safe and happy. I will prioritize taking them on walks, giving them adequate yard time and exercise, and feeding them during meal times. I will also make sure to communicate with you during care hours, so you know your pet is being well taken care of!
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!
“Kathy is wonderful. She is a real dog lover! She stopped in to visit with my puppy and walk him, play with him, etc. I felt very comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my puppy. She even texted me photos of him during her visit. Highly recommended.”
“Therese was awesome! She toon a last minute job over the holidays which I am super thankful of. She sent pictures and checked in with great info everyday. She even helped me with some package issues I was having. I would book her again. Thanks, Therese!”
About: I know when a dog is anxious or needs attention. Previously working at a Canine Club has made me understand dogs more especially with watching multiple at once. I handle big and small dogs and have excelled immensely with this job. I am a full-time student at WCU. I will stay with the dog as long as I can and can make frequent visits if need be. I will always have my eyes on the dog at all times whilst giving endless amount of attention and love. If there is a gated area provided, and is a nice day out, I would mainly spend most of my visit outside to get the dog fresh air and some room to run around.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Havertown
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!

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.
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 Havertown 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
