“Sophia was fantastic: completely reliable,conscientious, and kind to our kitty. I was so relieved to have such a great pet sitter. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing she was taking such good care of LuluBelle. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole is the best!!! We were a little nervous to try Rover for the first time with our two cats, one of which requires daily medication. She was so responsive and loving for our kitties!!! She made the entire experience stress free. We can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Catherine was fabulous! Catherine dropped in on our two cats during a holiday weekend. She was kind, communicative, and reliable. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have any dogs around. I've learned how to take care of senior dogs while also being fortunate enough to have raised and trained a new puppy. I have experience with small dog breeds as well as large dog breeds. I currently work full-time, but I work from home! I am very active with my dog, constantly taking her on walks and to the park, always trying to get exercise when we can! There is a beautiful walking path next to where I live where I love taking my dog for a walk (on & off leash). I have a travel crate that goes with me on visits if needed as well.
“Amy took excellent care of our two dogs. She was responsive and took the time to have a meet & greet where it was apparent she was a true dog lover. They will miss her dearly! Thank you!”
About: As long as I can remember I've been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses, working on farms, + living with no less than 3 dogs at a time in my house. As a kid I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I took in all sorts of animals that needed to be nursed back to health from birds + snakes to donkeys + kittens. It was a little like living in a zoo + I loved every second! I rode + trained horses competitively in high school. At 16, I qualified for the junior Olympic team in equestrian eventing. I’m now a mom, my own son is 16, and I own my own photography business capturing families + pets spreading joy + gratitude. Rover is a welcome addition to that career. I absolutely LOVE what I do + am thankful to have the opportunity to support myself + my son serving other animal loving families like us. I work remotely Mondays and Fridays. Tuesday through Thursday I’m in the office 8-5pm in King of Prussia. I’m typically available most weekends but can occasionally offer weekday evening bookings. Safety is a priority for me. I aim to keep your pets routine stable and comfortable so we stick with what they know and don’t try new things until trust has been built.
“Angela is a very thoughtful and attentive caretaker for cat drop ins! We were so fortunate to have her care for our two cats for a week over the holidays and she made sure they felt the love, and we were at ease being away for an extended period of time knowing that she was caring for them.”
About: Dog walker & cat lover. My pet experience spans from check-in walks to month-long over nights. I enjoy the outdoors and can walk your dog in any weather. I’ve cared for big and small dogs and a variety of cat breeds. I have a lenient, remote 9-5. I can keep your pet company while you’re at work, or stop in for a walk depending on your needs. I travel from time to time but will mark my schedule. I’d prefer pet care to take place in the client’s home. Would need to spend time with your pet before considering boarding at my home.
“Aimee was great and super helpful, as well as extremely responsive which made the whole experience better. She took great care of my cat and will be someone I look to continue to use for him in the future.”
About: I had dogs my whole life, right now I have a four year old pup who is my little side kick. I’am a life long pet lover and will treat your dog just like mine! I have experience with dog walking, I have helped out friends, family and neighbors watch and walk their dogs multiple times I work from home full time and pretty free on weekends, have a lot availability to care and can give plenty attention to your furry friend! My dog is a little dog who is very friendly with other dogs and who is up to date with all his vaccines, also have a crate if needed and a big backyard. Safety is my top priority so I will make sure your pet is well taken care of at all time!
About: i’ve been around animals ever since i was born. i grew up with a family dog, donato. he’s about 160 pounds and almost 6’3 when standing on his back legs. he’s the sweetest dog ever and i would never be afraid of big dogs, nor any other size dog, due to personal experience. because of this i know how to walk any size dog, and also take care of them. please send me a message if you’re in need of dog care/sitting. i work on a farm part time, but my days are self chosen. i can work with your schedule of care and fit it into my work week/work hours. while caring for your animals, i always make sure dogs get a minimum of 2 walks if not 3 per day, and when caring for a cat the same with the litter box. being scooped 2 times a day, water being refreshed, food on time, and love on demand!!
About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals since I was 10 years old. I have experience walking, boarding , and daily care. I love animals and provide kind and sensitive care . I work from home Monday-Friday and go into the office one day per month. My dog passed away in November 2023 so I would really love to have some dog energy in my life again. I currently work full time from home Monday through Friday. I have flexible time throughout the day to care for animals in my home or in the pet owners home. I have a yard and a nice neighborhood to go on long walks . I can easily store a crate in my home if needed. I can also visit your pet in their home several times a day to provide care or walks.
About: Personal: Since I was little Verterenarian was always my dream job.. of course things change. I instead went into the Marine Corps and then opened a new chapter in Swim Instruction and Lifeguarding. Back then was when I got my first Cat in 2012. Currently I'm becoming certified in Massage Therapy and hope to move on to animal accupressure and therapy as well, so I'm unavailable between 7:30am and 2pm Mon-Thursday. I've been told by various people throughout my life how I have "the touch" and that they or their pets feel oddly soothed by me. I have even met people and their dogs while on hikes and been invited right there to care for their picky pets(uninterested in humans.) It's always special when dogs come to me for comfort in a room full of people which has happened a few times. One of the most notable ones was an old Sheltie who wouldn't come out from behind the couch (afraid of lightning); I wound up holding her failing hips and hitting some feel-good points to coax her out and back to normal. I grew up with a Husky/Lab/Chow mix and a Yorkie-Poo. Later I shared/trained a MinPin-Chiuwuawa and most recently had my own Jack Russell/Chiuwawa mix and would always get compliments on how well-behaved they were. I'm intuitive, empathetic, and can hit certain spots when massaging them or just transfer energy somehow that seems to really speak their language. I'm an animal too in every good sense of the word! My life experiences have trained me to think on my feet and innovate my way out of any obstacle, with a laugh in my heart and a respect for the waves. Schedule: When I schedule through Rover, it has my full attention, and I won't leave to do other work unless it's specifically OK'd through you (then I may go out just to do a few deliveries and come back within 2 hours... though I certainly wouldn't leave 2 unfamiliar doggies alone whatsoever even if they were friends!) I can rise to your preference of potty and meal schedule, no sweat! If you're okay with your dog staying home during school for extended trips you may need to take, we can set them up in their own room or area of the house. Safety, Trust & Environment: I'd like to introduce my dog Pitunia as an extremely sweet, curious, receptive dude. We take big camping trips with friend's families (dogs, kids) and do exceptionally well. Each animal can perceive various tones in voice or touch or types of play differently, so I do take safety quite seriously. We don't play tug without practicing "LET GO" - I think it's relatable playing with toys and having some accidental nips - that said he really amazes me by Letting Go. I make sure to reward for every good behavior and only teach "no" if I'm distinguishing between "yes.". When we have multiple dogs it's important to feed at the same time and in separate areas. I typically have mine "wait" and he will sit or lay in his area until I set down the food, which comes in handy for multi-dog safety ☺️ Pitunia and I have also completed the Paws For People Therapy Program, where we trained with other dogs weekly to condition for working in hospitals, etc, so he is such a well-trained marshmallow. Manners tend to need constant upkeep though, as I'm sure you probably know with your loveable friend who might Also be: inquisitive eager jumpin and bumpin with affection, tail whippin butt wigglin and kissin!!! So we always keep at it😌.
“Roxanne was great! She took good care of our two cats, and I really appreciated the notes and photos she provided for each visit. She was very responsive to all messages and the cats liked her too. Thanks, Roxanne!”
About: Hi my name is Ashia I'm a stay at home mom looking for extra cash to provide for my children, I've worked at a doggy daycare for 4yrs & a pet center for 1 I have experience & I'm willing to come to you in needed. I can provide food if needed, I know all about dogs I've been having them since I was a little girl plus my children would love to be around pets. I'm always trying to make some extra cash because I'm about to go to school to be an EMT so I'll need the cash for my student loans so if you choose me I'll provide what's needed and I'm willing to work under any circumstances that are needed.

Rose was amazing! We just moved to East Falls and needed a last minute sitter for a family trip. She was so sweet and communicative throughout the whole visit! She sent great photos and I could tell our cat felt safe and cozy with her right away. We were so relieved to have our sweet cat in good hands! 10/10 would highly recommend and am so happy to have found a sitter in the area. Would definitely book again for future trips. Thank you Rose!

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 .
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 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 .
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.
