About: We are a pet friendly house. I have dog sat since I have been in my early 20’s. My family and I had a wonder dog for over 12 years who passed away in 2019. Now we are looking forward to opening our home to other families fur babies! I am a mom of two boys ages 9 and 12 . On occasion, I will watch my 3 year old niece in my house during the day. We live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. We also have a yard that is partially fenced in. We can also crate your dog if needed.
“Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have great experience with cats, I have had my cat since I adopted her at the age of about 2 months old and adopted my other cat at 1 year old! I often walk and play my sister’s 2 year old poodle I currently work a hybrid position where I only work in office 6x a month with only 1-2 meetings a day, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to drive to your house as well if you do not live within walking distance. I take care of my sister’s dog when she goes to work and I am comfortable with crating dogs as well. I often take care of my sister’s cats when she is on vacation so I am good with feeding cats and cleaning litter as well as giving them love and attention when they want it!
“Tim is terrific! He is the only person that can enter our home and Bridger is calm and thrilled to see him. He has been flexible which has been a great relief as we had some challenges to our schedule recently. Highly recommend.”
“Ben was awesome! Super flexible and was up for a last minute check in with our pup. He was great with communicating as well, overall a great experience using Rover for our first time with Ben.”

I work a remote job but have plenty of time to drop in and hang out during the morning, lunch hours, the evening, and dinnertime! Able to help until 8/29 when I go back to school. My dog Piper is an escape artist so I am well trained to be aware in that aspect, I am able to adjust easily to your pets needs, comfort, and quirks ❤️
“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!”
“Mykelle did a wonderful job watching our puppy (walking, feeding and administering medication) when we were away for a long weekend. When I first contacted her, she was extremely responsive and we had a meet and greet right away to confirm the dog sitting job. Our puppy Cora really liked her too. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures and excellent communication. Mykelle completely put me at ease as this was the first time that we had been away from our puppy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Alli - a lifelong dog lover with lots of hands-on experience, especially with rescues and pups who need a little extra patience. I have a 3-year-old pittie mix, Penelope, and I’ve been very involved in her training since she was a puppy, so I’m comfortable working with reactive or nervous dogs. I’m also experienced with giving both oral and eye medications. My family has multiple rescue dogs, so I understand that every dog is unique and may need different types of care. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with their pets, and I’d love to care for yours too! I currently have a very open schedule, so caring for pets is something I can give my full attention to. I’m available most hours of the day and can easily accommodate walk times, drop-ins, or last-minute needs. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality. I ask for clear notes about their habits, quirks, boundaries, and daily schedule so I can keep things consistent and comfortable for them. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I treat your pet like family — with patience, safety, and lots of attention.
“Riley is a superstar! She took care of my two cats whilst I was away and did such a great job. She is communicative, quick to respond and very professional. Riley provided a very high standard of care and I will be rebooking with her for any future trips.”
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals. I have 2 high energy dogs, a cat and rabbits. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, and birds. I can administer medication including insulin shots and also pills to cats and dogs. I work from home and have flexibility to meet any animal care needs you have. I work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to meet any needs you have whether it is check in’s, boarding or house sitting. I have a secure fenced in yard. Our dogs are loving of all no matter of size. I also am happy to provide my services at your house if your pets are more comfortable there.
About: I’m a dog mom of one dog. I rescued her from Puerto Rico a few years ago. I’ve also assisted in transporting dogs from Puerto Rico to the states. We have an active life and enjoy hiking. I will provide fun and activities for your dog. I can come to your house or the dog comes to my house. If you feel more comfortable with just your dog at my house that can be arranged. I know how some dogs sometimes prefer to be the only pet at home. I currently work at home and available all day. I can provide the constant attention your dog will need. I have a fenced in yard. I will provide multiple walks throughout the day. I can dog sit at your house or my house. I have plenty of parks nearby for walks. There’s also hiking trails nearby.

Our usual pet sitter fell through at the last minute before a trip so I needed to book someone on late notice. Evelyn was incredibly responsive and accommodating and even made time to do a quick meet and greet before we left for the trip. She was extremely kind and sent us some incredibly cute pics for cat updates! She was excellent and would absolutely work with her again. Thank you Evelyn for taking such great care of our cats!
Heather was absolutely amazing! We felt completely at ease traveling knowing our cat was in such great hands. The visit update/report was detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring. On top of that, Heather even helped brining in our mails and packages. We could not have asked for better and will definitely rebook in the future!
Olga did an amazing job with our kitties while we were on vacation! We came back to the litter boxes spotless and two happy and healthy furry friends. There was even a minor logistical issue that came up during her time here that Olga quickly found a solution for on her own and dealt with so we didn't have to worry a bit. I will definitely book Olga next time we're out of town!
Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Havertown is $21 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 9,574 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Havertown. 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 Havertown. 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.
