“Peter is an excellent sitter! He take amazing care of my dogs with special needs (medication and reactivity) and they love when he comes over. Peter is responsible, communicative, and genuine in his love for animals.”
About: I've been in the pet industry for over 10 years, personalizing care and needs to each animal as owners see fit. I can give injectable and oral meds as needed. My knowledge of animal related products is stronge since I have worked in a pet store for many years. I currently work full-time, but can stop by on my lunch breaks for short visits to let animals out, give meds, whatever is needed during that time. In a clients home, I do as the pet parent asks and I follow their schedule. If I am staying over, the dog/cat is welcome to sleep with me if the owner allows.
“Stephen and his family are the absolute best! My dogs were obviously comfortable and excited to see them daily. I received photos and updates every day, and am so happy to have trusted sitters. I would highly recommend them!”
About: I cared for my own first fur baby for 18 wonderful years, who sadly passed away last summer. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly believe every pet deserves the best care, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I work a hybrid schedule and am home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, making it easy to give pets frequent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I can be flexible and dedicate my time to your pet’s needs. I care for pets as if they were my own. I stick closely to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and rest, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of affection, playtime, and attentive care while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Jess is amazing. She is always on time and I know when I return home that my pets have been loved and well taken care of. Thanks Jess for all you do to care for Peanut and Salem. :)”

Available at your home and for walks for dogs and inside care for cats. My furry babies have tender loving care each and every day. Fresh water clean bows and litter boxes.

About: Hey there! I’m Dana, I’m a night owl, film and reality tv lover, I enjoy hiking, going to the beach, listening to music, cooking & spending time with friends and family. I’m a lifelong animal lover (of all animals, even the tiniest bug!) and have been professionally pet sitting for over 10 years. I have experience with all kinds of animals, but am a big softie for large breed dogs. I have two German shepherds and a beagle, but don’t worry- I live with family, so they will be cared for while I’m with your pet! I strongly believe in leaving things better than you found them, which means that your home and pets will receive lots of TLC while I’m with them. I provide around the clock care to keep your pet company throughout the day. Whether you just need a quick drop in and walk or an extended stay, I will be there to give your pet all of the potty breaks, attention, playtime and companionship they need. In your home I will follow your regular rules and routines you have in place for your pets. I find that sticking to your pet’s normal routine keeps them calm and happy when their family members are away.
About: I have worked as a vet tech for over two years and am now in the Army. I have experience with larger dogs as I grew up with a rottweiler, and now have a 120lb Leonberger- so they are not an issue for me at all. I also have experience with cats as well as exotic pets I am available during the week all days to hang out with your loved ones (pets!!) I have experience as a vet technician that is definitely useful for this line of work. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a track/trail that I take my dog on ~5x a day. It is perfect for dog walking.
About: I have spent all of my life around animals, and have absolutely loved spending time with them since I was young. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter, playing with the residents and doing what I could to help take care of them and keep them happy. I personally grew up with both cats and dogs. I was the family member responsible for training and teaching our dogs new commands. I would be more than happy to go on long walks or spend time playing with and keeping your pets company. I am currently a school teacher on break, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby! I am currently openly available, until the school year begins in September. Until then, I am generally available during the week from 8 am to 10 pm. Once the school year begins I am available for housesitting for pets that can be left alone for a workday. I can offer drop ins and walks after 3:30 pm on school days. I am more than happy to feed, walk, play with, and love your animals in your home. I have experience with administering insulin to cats as well.

About: I’ve been rescuing and taking care of my own cats since I was 12. My pets are my family (moved them with me across continents) so I get the stress of being away. I have a 19 year old car and two 12 year olds. I know how to take care of cats from the day they are born to senior cats. I work full time as a teacher and I am available for home visits after 3 PM every day besides Sundays. Sundays I would only be able to stop by early morning . I can provide any care your cats need. I currently take care of my cat with kidney disease and I do her transfusions myself. I can also administer medication or anything else your baby might need.
“Amy was prompt, stayed over the allotted time, and make sure our puppy was left happy. Communication was excellent which made the process so easy. We look forward to having her take care of our little man again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawnside
Bri did a terrific job. I have to say I was worried that Max was going to be too much for anyone to watch. It was first time we had someone watch him. He could be intimidating at 130 lbs and Bri found him to be nothing but a cuddle buddy. I highly recommended Bri and look forward to using her services again. Seriously , thank you.
Where to start? She was amazing. Went above and beyond. Even walked my baby in the rain. We appreciate everything you did and all the love you have to our Sadie and cats. You're the best. Thanks again for everything. Truly made us feel that our pets were in great hands
Jaqueline was awesome ! At short notice she was able to schedule a meet and greet the day before she came to check on our dog while we travelled she played with him took him out back to pee and poop fed him filled his water bowl and sent us a photo that showed him happy with his new friend enjoying a treat ! 😂 she was great and we will definitely be in touch with her in the future and we highly recommend her!
We hired Brynn to come into our home to feed and walk our older dog when we went away overnight. She did an excellent job and sent us texts and photos each time. Our pup was in good spirits when we returned. I would definitely have her come again and recommend her highly.
Shielamae is AMAZING! Super easy to work with and willing to do what she can to help out. Her services are well priced and WORTH IT. Shielamae helped me with a last minute booking that saved my entire trip, I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re struggling to pick between a sitter, look no further!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lawnside is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $34 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.

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 Lawnside 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. 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.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
