“Thanks to Matina and Amanda for caring for my three cats! They did a great job, I will definitely hire them again the next time I go away :) lots of photos and great communication!”

“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’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where we always had at least 2 dogs, and I now have a cat of my own, Colby, who I am in LOVE with. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know their different personalities. I’ve regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ cats and dogs throughout my life, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, walks, playtime, and of course caring for every animal with love and care. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable that your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal I care for like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe and loved! I am between jobs at the moment, so I have full availability! Until I find a full time position, I’m free to care for your pet on any day, at any time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their usual routines so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet might need. I also understand that every animal has their own personality, so I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. I’m also respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure everything is left clean and tidy. I’d love to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Both you and your pet feeling comfortable is the ultimate priority!
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.
“Sarah is detail oriented, communicative, and has an intuitive approach to caring for pets (in my case, cats). I have one social and one fearful cat, and after just three short visits she was already beginning to win over the fearful one. She sent photos during every visit and provided meaningful updates. I so appreciate her attentiveness and making both my cats and me feel comfortable while in separate places. Thank you Sarah!”

“I travel quite often for work and I have used Natalie as our cat sitter over a dozen times this year alone. Natalie is very good with my elderly cat and is one of the most dependable sitters I have ever worked with. When it comes to travel it relieves a ton stress and anxiety to know that my cat is in capable hands. Natalie has my business for as long as I live in this area and I highly recommend that she is considered if any of your fluffy friends are in need of a sitter as well!”


About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds including not just cats and dogs, I currently care for 2 cats and 2 dogs and love them all. I volunteered at an animal shelter for multiple years and want to continue animal based experiences! I work currently part time but often have my weekends free and enjoy a good walk after getting off of my job, I do part time teacher work so the mental refresh is helpful I believe in utmost safety priority, including surveying surroundings constantly for threats, adjusting to it situationally and avoiding drawing attention to it incase it excites the animal.
About: Hello! I am Havyn and I have lots of personal experience caring for big and small dogs and cats. I have had many types of dogs and cats and have been the caretaker of those pets since the age of 7. I will play, walk, and/or run with your pets or play with them at my home with any of their favorite toys. I will also take them to any local dog parks, on bike trails, or anything else that is nearby if you please. Tell me about their favorite things to do or their favorite places to go near your home and I will make it happen. Any questions please contact me with the information provided. I will answer promptly no matter the day of the week!
About: Our family has had a dog ever since I was in the 2nd grade. I continued owning dogs my whole life from mutts to pedigrees and everything in between. I've trained puppies basic commands plus cared for senior dogs who needed medications I'm currently available during the week, weekends and holidays plus my schedule is very flexible to have hands on to care for your furry family member I live on a corner property with a large fenced in yard. My Portuguese Water Dog Pebbles is a sweetheart who gets along with other dogs. She loves to run in the yard especially when she has another dog to play with
“We highly recommend Mary Rose. We have a senior cat with hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disorder, and asthma, so getting his medication right is extremely important. She handled his care with no problems at all and followed his medical routine with confidence and precision. Our cat is also quite shy with new people, but she was able to build a connection with him. We received plenty of photos showing him enjoying petting and grooming time, which was very reassuring while we were away. She also provided detailed daily reports that truly put our minds at ease. It is clear she has both a deep love for animals and strong knowledge of their care. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”
About: I grew up with dogs. I have cared for and trained animals since I was little. I love the fun and the affection but I am also very capable of understanding the needs of animals in terms of their health and training. I currently work in cancer research, but I have more flexible hours and I am willing to spend as much time as I can taking animals for walks or making sure they're being taken care of during the day. I can maintain the home while providing all of your dogs needs. I can walk and feed them as well as assist in training including crate training.
About: Having the pleasure of being entrusted with caring for loved one’s fur babies, I have years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs. From small to large, puppies and elderly dogs. I have also had more than 3 dogs under my own care. I’m sure me and your fur baby will get along great, we both love long walks and snuggles! I currently work and go to school remotely which allows a lot of flexibility and with caring for pets. I am adaptable and can flex to whatever is your pets current routine. In either scenario my first step is to familiarize myself with the pet and their specific routine, habits, and possible triggers. To ensure the best care of the pet in my home, I will begin with ensuring the pet will experience as little of a difference in environment as possible. This will include monitoring noise levels, ensuring proper available space for pet to roam, etc. In the client’s home I will rely on the rules set forth to provide the preferred care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 25 years. Neighbors, friends & Family have relied on me to care for their beloved pets when away from home. I am an animal lover and I treat them with much love, respect and care. I provide a loving home to your beloved pup while you’re away. We will get daily walks, play time, and cuddle time together. I guarantee, you will be satisfied with the love and care I provide for them. I’m currently working part-time from home, so your pup will have company most of the time. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and I’m flexible with your schedule. I live in a quiet area, in a suburban home with a walking distance to a nice trail for happy and long walks. My house has a big backyard where your pup can have more play time or relax time. They are never left alone in the backyard, I’m always with them. At bedtime, I generally take them to sleep next to me if they are used to do so but I will follow the owners requirements for that.

About: I have experience taking care of family members pets as well as my own dog, Toby. While the sweetest angel he’s also a little rascal so I have my fair share of experience dealing with troublemakers:) I’m currently a grad student who has classes on weekdays but am completely free on weekends! I also have time in between classes to drop by. As my class schedule differs slightly each day, I can be pretty flexible! Any instruction given to care for your fur baby will be followed as given. I’ll be happy to do anything to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.
About: My name is Laura and I have been caring for and rescuing dogs on and off for over 10 years. I have experience with all types of small dogs including crate training, leash training, commands like “sit” and socialization training for the more challenging little ones. I am a fan of Caesar Milan’s training techniques and have worked with dog behaviorists to improve my craft. I am flexible and will crate or not crate a dog based on owner’s preference. I have an unfenced yard for play and potty on a leash but I also provide walks around the neighborhood. I will honor the owner’s requests to keep dog off the furniture or allow dog on the furniture. I am a strong believer in consistency to maintain a dog’s training. I will only board multiple pets if they are from the same family. I do not currently have any pets. I am a full-time teacher with normal working hours and I can provide a consistent feeding schedule and 3 walks a day. I work 9-5. I am able to provide 3 walks a day, 8am, 5pm, 9pm (for example). I may be able to provide midday walks depending on the week and the advanced notice. My home is very calm and quiet. I allow pets to approach me and I give them space as needed. There are no children or other pets in my home. Both doors to my house have two sets of doors (through the porch and the kitchen) which help prevent escapes if you have a pet who frequently tries to escape.
About: As an experienced dog owner and longtime shelter volunteer, I genuinely love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I get super excited about active outdoor time like hiking, but what I enjoy most is giving dogs real mental stimulation through training while they're with me. Whether it's helping a puppy master basic manners, keeping an adult dog sharp, or just teaching fun new tricks, keeping their brains busy is the secret to a happy, well-behaved pet. I'd love to help your pup burn off energy, learn a few things, and come home totally tired and content! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so there is always someone at home to provide supervision, companionship, and care. My flexible schedule allows me to take dogs out for walks, potty breaks, playtime, or attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because I am home regularly, I can also adapt to each dog’s needs, whether they prefer a consistent routine, extra exercise, medication schedules, or more frequent bathroom breaks. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and part of a calm, reliable environment. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home. I live in a 1200 sq ft apartment with a dog park downstairs, which is great for walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I have 1 dog and no children, my dog is very friendly with all dogs. I understand every dog and household has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, so I always do my best to accommodate each client’s needs. I am flexible with crate use, furniture rules, feeding schedules, exercise preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for.

I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.

Allie was amazing with our 9 year old dog!!! We always get a little nervous having a new sitter watch our 95 lbs American bulldog mix since he can be a handful at times, but once they met we knew he’d be in good hands. Allie was communicative, gave lots of photos and updates, and followed our instructions with ease!! Will definitely be reaching out again for future visits :)

Tiffany’s very caring. I’m handicapped with a spinal cord injury. I needed someone’s help to take care of my puppy, and take him on walks. She helped to make sure, my puppy had clean puppy pads/water/food/attention. She was such a wonderful person to work with. Absolutely!!👍🏻 I recommend Tiffany to everyone!!! You won’t be disappointed at all. Thank you, again for everything 🙏🏻♾️ Rating: 6 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

10/10 super star sitter!! Not only was she very accessible via text or call but she also provided tons of pictures and video updates. We even had to book twice last minute and she accommodated us both times!! Even went as far as rescheduling a hair appointment! Once again 10/10 definitely will book again!!

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 Jenkintown 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.

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 .
