“We love Alexandra and more importantly our cats love Alexandra! Even our super timid girl who hides from anyone but us will come out and say hello to Alexandra. Can’t put a price on the peace of mind knowing our pets will be well taken care of and safe when we’re gone. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter (usually my family would help out) and the first time my cat Charlie was alone in the 17 years I have had her because my other cat passed away not too long ago, so was very nervous about leaving her and especially with someone we didn't know. Brittany came by for a meet and greet so I could show her the place and how the automatic feeder worked. She stopped by every evening and Charlie, who is normally very skiddish around strangers, felt comforable enough around Brittany to not run and hide every time she came in so I got daily photos to make me feel at ease! Thank you very much for your help Brittany!”
“Joanna was great. I booked her to drop in to walk my dog. I appreciate her good communication and her follow-up, including a picture and details of her visit. I have already booked her again.”
“Emma is very reliable and I always feel confident our dog is being well cared for. She is also very responsive and gives plenty of updates that let me know how he is doing!”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of Lilith. I received lots of photos and details about each and could tell that Lilith was having a great time making a new friend!”
“Erica took care of my dog Darla for two days and she is great! Darla is very happy with her, and she responds to my last minute questions very quickly when a false alarm arose ( I thought I booked the wrong service but it turned out to be all good). Thank you Erica!”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from judgy chihuahuas to laid-back Bernese mountain dogs. I’ve taken care of them from their playful puppy days through their senior years. I’m patient, experienced, and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, and I’m here for all of it! I currently work full-time (9am–5pm, Monday through Friday), but I’m flexible and happy to coordinate with your schedule to make sure your baby gets the care they need! I prioritize safety and trust by keeping open, honest communication. As long as you fill me in on any quirks, meds, or non-negotiables, I’ll keep things running just how they like it. And if anything feels off or out of my league, I’ll be honest, because your dog’s safety is way more important than winging it!
“Talia clearly loves dogs and is a tremendous communicator. She did drop in visits for our dog while we were away overnight and it was seamless. We knew our dog was in great hands and would 100% use Talia again.”
“Victoria was amazing with my 5 month old puppy, Luka. She walked him even when it was very hot outside but still made sure he got his exercise and outdoor time! She made sure to feed him and give him water, taking care of my pups wellbeing:) I will definitely be rebooking for future walks!!”
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
“Absolutely awesome. Ali did drop in visits for our dog, Molly, over this past weekend. Scheduled five drop in visits, everyone was on time and pictures that were sent looked like Molly was having a great time. Thank you Ali, will definitely rebook.”
“10 out of 10! Jennifer was great and kept me very well informed. My animals clearly loved her and she was able to make sure they weren't stressed while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Sophia was punctual & took great care of my dogs! I have a 10 week old puppy at home so I was a little nervous to have someone come over & care for her, but Sophia was amazing!! She sent me pictures of my dogs each time she stopped by as well which eased my nerves”
“Alexander is amazing! We are so thankful that he was able to watch our two cats while we were away! He always sent us updates and they never missed a meal!! Alexander's attention to detail and professional communication always put our minds at ease. We didn't have to worry at all for the entire time we were gone. Alexander is our #1 choice to be our cat sitter anytime we are away. Highly recommend!”
“Jacob was extremely detailed and asked questions I hadn’t thought of in order to make sure my girl had the most positive experience! I am extremely pleased with Jacob’s work.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ithan
Emma was wonderful with Benny while we were away. She was very reliable, kept me updated every day, and paid close attention to his food, water, and overall behavior. I really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, especially since Benny can be a little cautious with new people. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was checking on him every day. I would definitely recommend Emma and would be happy to book with her again!
Stephen was a great sitter for my 2 cats! One needed medicine, and she took it from. him like a champ. The other is usually afraid of sitters, but he befriended Stephen right away! I know this because Stephen sent me photos and/or videos for every visit. He was very responsive and friendly, with a great sense of humor. Thank you Stephen!
Aaren is so very attentive, reliable, and sweet towards pets! I was so relieved to have her looking and attending to my gerbils while away in Europe for a week and a half. She is great with communication and truly a wonderful caregiver, going above and beyond!
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!
Emily responded to our last minute request promptly and graciously . She arrived on time, asked appropriate and relevant questions , and reviewed procedures before I left Our pups were in good hands and I returned to happy pups and a tidy home , no puppy accident .. great job

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
