“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment for pets while following their routines closely. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement as well as senior pets who require gentler care, patience, and extra attention. I also make sure pet owners feel connected by providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit. I currently have a flexible schedule and am fully available during the summer, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent pet care throughout the week. I am able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and I am happy to work around your pet’s routine. I treat every pet like family and prioritize communication, providing regular updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected and confident in their care. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop-in visits, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own home and familiar environment. During each visit, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, litter box care (for cats), and any specific routines or medications. For dog walks, I prioritize safety at all times by using secure leashing, paying close attention to surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise based on their energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive care, companionship, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, ensuring it is left clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I also provide consistent updates with photos and messages so you always feel informed and connected to your pet. My goal is to give your pet reliable, safe, and stress-free care while giving you complete peace of mind.
“This was my first time ever using a service to care for my cat and the first time leaving my cat for a week. Which was a big deal for a new pet parent! Nikki was amazing. She was thorough in gathering care instructions for Lil Sweetie, prompt with her check-ins, and sent detailed visit cards with cute pics of my kitty so I could keep in touch while I was away and missing her. I felt completely at ease knowing Sweetie was in the care of Nikki. I will definitely be booking Nikki again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Nikki!”
“Christina was amazing! We’d hire her again or recommend to anyone. She was very diligent and thoughtful in her updates after each visit which was much appreciated. She also came by before we left town to meet the cats and do a walk-thru of their routine. Overall great experience while we were away!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I have 12 years of experience taking care of my own dog as well as caring for other pets, and about 5 years of experience with cats. I’ve also grown up around smaller pets, including guinea pigs and hamsters. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I have 12 years of experience taking care of my own dog as well as caring for other pets, and about 5 years of experience with cats. I’ve also grown up around smaller pets, including guinea pigs and hamsters. I’ve been pet sitting for the past couple of years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, and I’m also comfortable administering oral medication. I’ve trained my own dog to do many tricks and understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are when caring for animals. When I’m caring for your pets, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get the care they need. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers relaxing and getting some cuddles, I’ll take the time to make them feel comfortable. I currently offer drop-ins, walks, and in-home pet sitting. My goal is to make being away from home as easy as possible for both you and your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies like family and care for them as if they were my own. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care.
About: I have working experience with a vast array of animals. I enjoy learning about different animals, creating species specific care guides and following them! I have experience shadowing at both a dog day care, and a veterinarian hospital. I am in college for Conservation and Wildlife Management, and have a senior dog, and a hamster of my own! I am currently taking a semester off from college, and would love to stay active throughout the fall and winter! I often love to explore new areas, and I'm sure a pet would too! I am very responsible to make sure all doors, gates, etc are closed and locked before leaving to ensure no pet escapes. Animal safety is a priority of mine, and I will be sure to follow any instructions left for this reason. I will also clean up any mess left by a pet that occurs while I'm there.
“Harrison watched my puppy over the course of 3 drop ins. He communicated every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure my Rikku was okay. He responded to all my requests and was extremely helpful. I plan to book him again in the near future.”
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.
“Paige took exceptional care of our cats during an extended vacation. She visited our house twice a day and cleaned up after them. She also played with our frisky cat and gave special attention to our shy cat. We felt 100% confident n choosing Paige as our caretaker and will use her again AND recommend her highly to others seeking pet care. A+!”
“Dana took very good care of Cooper while we were out of town for 9 days. He showed up consistently in the same morning and afternoon windows of time that we agreed on, sent us detailed messages and provided great pictures. He definitely put us at ease knowing our pup was in good hands and we looked forward to the updates each day knowing full well that Dana would have gone on cool adventures with Cooper. Dana is very highly recommended. We will definitely use his services again.”
About: I am looking forward to hosting dogs in my house. I have a 4 year old dog I recently adopted. He enjoys having other dogs come to visit! I'm a teacher so I am home weeknights and weekends to care for and play with your dogs. Your dog can sleep in my room or can be crated if that is preferred. I am also excited to explore my new neighborhood with dog walks in the evenings. I have recently moved to a new home that has a small front yard. There are trails nearby that I can use for dog walks.
“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”
About: I am a reiki master with dog and cat care experience. I offer everything from cuddles and comforting reiki sessions to exercise and play time. I am happy to provide puppies and dogs with time for the 3 p's (poop, pee and play). I also freshen up litter boxes, and ensure that fresh food and water is available. I can also supervise meal times when necessary. Let's discuss your pet's needs and how I can help you meet them! Sign up for up to 3 session times that work for you Monday through Friday. Special arrangements can be made for occational weekend visits or other hours with existing clients on a case by case basis if I am available.

About: Hello Everyone! I’m Nicole and that cute guy in my photo is my pup Lochly. He’s a corgi mix and he’s awesome! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last 20+years. I’m a realtor and a host on Airbnb and make my own schedule so I’m flexible with my hours. I like dogs of all sizes and breeds and ages. Walks, fetch, tug of war, snuggles and belly rubs ... I can do it all. I live just outside of northeast philadelphia but I am on the move a lot for work so I can cover all areas of the city. i really enjoy meeting new people and their pups and I look forward to this new venture. I am a realtor who makes her own schedule. I have lots of flexibility during the week to be able to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m detail oriented so please leave all the things required to care for your dog, no matter how silly it may be. If your babies are anything like mine they definitely have some quirks that need to be indulged and I am happy to oblige

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Courtney is excellent with our two geriatric, special needs dogs. She is very reliable and dependable and a pleasure to work with. Her level of care is outstanding and her communication is top notch. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her services.
Ally was the perfect sitter for our anxious dog. She gave him lots of attention and love so he relaxed and had a great time. I was nervous because we hadn’t used Rover before, but this was a great experience and will definitely use it again (with Ally of course!).
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!!
Amanda was extremely conscientious and responsible taking care of my energetic dog while I was away! I could see how happy Oreo was to spend time with her with both walks and lots of cuddles from the great photos she took. Plus, Amanda really took the time pre-visit to make sure she understood Oreo's diet and personality. All round a great experience -- thank you!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jenkintown 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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Jenkintown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
