Laura is a very sweet and caring pet owner and cat sitter. She went out of her way to help me out and take care of my cat with short notice. Very much appreciated.

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!

Lisa was great and very communicative while watching our puppy! She took good care of her and provided updates every couple of minutes. She did our puppies full nighttime routine. We will be rebooking with her. We so appreciate her.

Jeannette was absolutely amazing. This was my first time using the Rover App for a weekend away and I was very comfortable with leaving my dog in her care. She was very communicative, active with my pup, and just went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. Definitely recommend, Jeannette, 100%!

Colleen is so great! We have a typically nervous pup who warmed up to her immediately. Colleen took the time to understand her and was patient with her. She made us feel comfortable leaving Sasha in her hands for her first time staying home alone. Thank you!! 😊

About: Hi! I’m Nicolette. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own named Prince, a 10 year-old, 30 lb neutered German Pinscher who is very friendly and still acts like a playful puppy. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet care Monday through Sunday. My home has a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company. Dogs in my home are treated like family — couches and beds are welcome unless you prefer otherwise. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working from home Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm. Every other Monday I do go into the office from 9am-3pm. I am available to watch your pup any day Monday-Sunday 😊 I have a fenced in yard and one playful dog to keep your fur baby company! Unless instructed otherwise, no couches or beds are off limits to pups 🐶 My dog lives like a King over here 👑 & I would treat your fur baby the same way!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets. I’ve loved animals since I can remember from a very early age. I have one cat personally but take care of three dogs during my off time. No matter how big or small all animals can count on my expertise for the love and care they need and deserve. Currently in between jobs, I have all the free time in the world, I would love to stay with afternoons and nights however over night is no problem with me! I do not have a yard however there is a field that your pups can play in directly in front of my home. I do have a crate if needed as well as my own space for your pups if they need separation. My cat is very friendly and loves to cuddle with all animals but can put him away during your pets stay with me just in case.

About: I've been watching the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors since I was about 18. I've given insulin to both dogs and cats during my time pet-sitting. I currently own and care for two very spoiled female guinea pigs. During the week, I work full-time with a hybrid home/office schedule. On the days I am in the office, I do leave at mid-day to finish my workday from home. I can be available for bathroom breaks all throughout the day and go on walks/play with your pets in the evening. I work from a laptop, so I have the ability to relocate my workspace if necessary. I am able to provide all-day availability on weekends. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. I currently have experience taking care of furry ones of all ages and medical conditions.

About: Hi! My name is Angelina and I’m a responsible college student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes — from big, strong breeds like pit bulls to small dogs like chihuahuas — so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience caring for dogs who require medication. I’m comfortable giving oral medications (pills, tablets, liquid) and have experience administering injections when needed. I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and safe during the process. I work alongside my partner, Siany, and together we provide attentive, reliable pet care as a team. Having two caregivers helps ensure that someone is always with your dog, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, relaxed routine, we’re happy to adjust to their needs. Our goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. We treat every animal like they’re our own! We’re reliable, attentive, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a college student. I build my class schedule in a way that allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m available anytime before 9 AM and after 3 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available anytime before 9 AM and after 1 PM. On weekends, I’m completely free and have full availability for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m very organized with my time and make sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they can feel as relaxed and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, medications, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks, and I keep a close eye on your pet both indoors and outdoors. I’m also mindful of keeping their environment clean and safe by removing anything they could accidentally get into. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for in a safe, familiar environment. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet by being attentive, patient, and dependable.

Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

Kirsten was absolutely amazing! Upon meeting her, I knew right away that I would feel comfortable leaving my kitten with her. She is very kind, pleasant, and has a great energy about her. She responded quickly to my messages, and was very personable from the beginning. I also greatly appreciate the fact that she is Vet Tech and has the professional experience of working with animals daily. This was our first time leaving our kittens for the weekend, so having her come into our home to check on them, feed them, and clean the litter was important for giving us peace of mind while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent many messages to let us know how they were doing. She was very thorough with providing photos and updates. We were so happy to have her there to watch over them for both of the visits. Also our kittens took to her right away and it seemed like they were comfortable with her as much as we were. I will look forward to having Kirsten watch over our kittens again in the future. I would also recommend anyone who is looking for a trust worthy, reliable, professional, and overall great person to watch their pets while they are away. She made our first experience using Rover great. Thank you!

About: I have devoted my life to learning about animal behavior and enrichment, and I am always eager to use this knowledge to give any pet I care for the best time possible. I have cared for several species over the course of my life, including dogs, cats, fish, rodents and more. I am also someone who is very passionate about dog training using fun, reward-focused techniques to build a strong relationship and help work through any challenges a pup may have. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters, where I cared for both dogs and cats through cleaning their enclosures, walking them, playing with them and ensuring their needs were met. Overall, I have a very well-rounded knowledge of what it takes to go above and beyond for any pet I’m working with. I am currently in college and I plan for pet sitting to be my major professional focus during this time, so rest assured that your pet will be my top priority when it comes to my work schedule! Because of my intense love for animals, I am always happy and willing to fit any pet into my daily routine and I try to keep an open schedule to accommodate your care needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority in all situations. Whether I am in your home, going for a walk, or just checking in, all of my energy will go to making sure that your pet is having the best time possible in a kind, supportive environment. Every pet I look after is treated with the same amount of love and care that I give my own on a daily basis.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!

Cara is the best! She takes care of Gambit as if he is her own dog. He looks forward to seeing her, going on walks and playing. I don’t think I’d ever find anyone as great as Cara! I consider her part of the Gambit family

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Marcus Hook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 8,897 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Marcus Hook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Marcus Hook 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 Marcus Hook 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 .

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.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marcus Hook. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
