“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
“Dion provided outstanding drop-in care for my cat, exceeding all expectations. She was always on time and sent photos with her updates. Dion cares deeply about animals. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.”
“Hannah was fantastic with our pup Leo! After our second dog had to spend a weekend in the emergency room, she was very flexible and accommodating to switch up the schedule unexpectedly and took very good care of our boy when he was home alone and needed extra love! We came home to a very happy pup :)”
“I highly recommend Alyssa and her PUP to take care of your dog. She is conscientious and thorough in every way. She even gave a dog a bath after going to the park and playing extensively. This is our second time using her and we will continue to do so when needed. Thank you for loving on Finley and giving him a playmate!”
About: Hey everyone! My name is Michael and I am a nursing student in the Philadelphia area/suburb area that is just looking for flexible part time work. I have cared for several dogs of ranging from puppies to large dogs! I am new to cats but open to helping in any way I can, also in the process of adopting my own! I am very new to this app, just doing my best to stay afloat while studying for school! I finished school after 2:30 most days, so preferably after that time I’m available for any service! I am currently free weekends. I can be flexible if there needs to be an overnight stay with a dog as long as I have some notice! Of course, walks and time to play are a necessity for dogs! I can also provide baths for dogs if need be for the owners.
“Meghan was great with our cats over a long weekend - she was always puctual, and gave them lots of time and attention. She left everything cleaner than she found it, and we'd be happy to have her back!”
“Ashley was so awesome checking in on Woogie over the holidays! Lots of pictures and information from each visit! Would HIGHLY recommend Ashley to anyone that needs their pet looked after while they are away!”
“Teresa was a fabulous sitter! She kept in constant communication with me - sharing pictures daily and outlining all the services she provided for my kitties. She was also friendly and patient with my jittery kitties. Highly recommend!”
About: From blue tick coonhounds to chiweenies, I know my way around walking dogs! During my volunteering at an animal shelter, I learned proper walking and handling methods, so every walk is set to be safe and happy! I work part-time, often with multiple full days off that can be dedicated to keeping your pets safe, healthy, and happy! I’m also comfortable with taking care of pets before or after my shifts :) While I currently do not offer boarding, I am more than happy to visit wherever your pet calls home and give them comfortability and familiarity.
“Amazing! Our first time using rover and we are so glad we found Susan. She came for a meet and greet, brought treats, and our dog loves her! She took him for a long walk, and sent us updates the whole time with lots of pics! Will absolutely be using 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.
“Melissa was great! We needed someone to let our golden retriever out during the day while at work. Melissa showed up exactly when we scheduled her to, and sent lots pictures and videos which showed how happy our dog was to see her. She communicated very well during the visit and made sure she took care of everything we needed. We're definitely already looking to book her again for the next time we need dog care!”

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!

I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog. From the start, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. You won’t regret choosing her.
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.

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 Havertown 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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Havertown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 96% 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.
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.
