“This was our first time employing Sara for twice daily cat visits, and we were very happy with her service. The photos she sent were evidence that Leo and Fred felt very comfortable and at ease with her. Definitely recommend!!”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. They were happy with her for every visit and always gave me updates, she seems to take great care for both of them and I would love to make her my cat sitter again!”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
“Elizabeth was fantastic with my two cats, Roxie and Stormie! She was so patient with our skittish girl, Stormie, and still gave plenty of love and attention to Roxie. I will definitely be booking her for future visits!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, dependable approach and strong attention to detail. I’m patient and consistent with dogs of all ages and energy levels, including seniors and dogs who need extra reassurance or routine. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications, and maintaining feeding, walking, and play schedules. I prioritize safety in and outside the home and always provide clear updates and photos so pet parents feel confident their dog is well cared for I work fully remote, which gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits and adjust as needed to meet each pet’s schedule. Because of this flexibility, I can provide consistent, attentive care without rushing and can be responsive if plans or needs change. I provide care primarily in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks or playtime, litter or waste cleanup, and any medications. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust my care based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. I also prioritize safety in the home, respect the space as if it were my own, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel informed and at ease.
About: I grew up caring for my now elderly Shih Tzu, Sadie and my King Charles Cavalier Odie ❤️ I was TOP dog walker in my neighborhood lol Now I live in Philly with my cat Noodle 🍝 I work a very flexible schedule so I am available weekdays and weekends, morning through evening! If there are time complications with my schedule I am happy to discuss alternative visiting hours. I have a fenced yard with lots of grass! My cat Noodle is very friendly with other animals, and my girlfriend and I are avid animal lovers!
“Isabel was very conscientious and communicative. She took great care of our cat and accommodated the schedule limitations based on his needing medicine at a similar time each day.”
About: I love animals, basically all animals! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and feel that I know the ins and outs of the "pet world". I may have favorite breeds, but I love them all, both big and small- I love learning about new breeds, so bring it on! I have worked with pitties doodles, a jackchi, and Goldens so far from Rover! I would love to spend time outside, playing, relaxing, and exploring with your dog (and am happy to care for cats if you have those, too!). I am currently unemployed and looking for some part time gigs (like dog walking) to fill my days. I am very open during the weekdays in Roxborough. I will treat your pets and your home just like they are my own. Keeping things clean and tidy is a very easy ask for me.
About: I know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies when you're away from home, which is why I strive to provide top-notch daytime care. Whether I'm popping in for a drop-in visit or taking them out for some fresh air, my services include: feeding and medication per the pet parent’s instructions, plenty of walks, play time, and lots of cuddles (if they’re okay with that!) with photo updates throughout my visit. As an animal shelter volunteer, I especially have experience with cats, including kittens as young as 2 weeks old. Since I have recently moved to Philadelphia my availability is now completely open, which works out perfectly for scheduling visits! Any scheduling discrepancies will be communicated ASAP. My approach to pet care is centered on safety and maintaining a stress-free routine. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by double checking locks and removing potential hazards.
“Abigail was an amazing sitter for my two boys! Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated all the updates, and that she took pictures of the cats playing. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on time each day and communicated well, sending us pictures of our kitty every day.”
“I was so happy to find Devon at the last minute, and she was fantastic with my cats! She was easy to communicate with and provided great care. She even sent some videos in addition to updates/photos! I will happily book with Devon again in the future.”
“We asked Berrangere to watch our pup at the last minute. She took Winnie in long walks and spent a lot of time with her at home. She was really thorough and positive in her messaging and quick to respond. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been taking care of neighbor's cats and dogs since childhood, including overnight house sitting. I've had cats for most my life and have worked with big and small dogs, young and old, including dogs that need a lot of exercise. I have experience taking care of other domestic mammals like rabbits, chinchillas, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and hedgehogs, as well as exotic birds and reptiles. I'm a big animal over; I majored and worked in wildlife conservation, and am passionate about domestic and wild animals. I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to stay home a lot and be with the pets. I have a car to get to people's homes easily for daytime checkins/walks. Depends on the client's specific needs but usually for housesitting I stay at the house and am home often, so I'm able to give the pets attention and care, and let them out for bathroom breaks and walks regularly as needed. I can do basic household stuff like take out trash, clean up after pets, water plants, whatever is needed.
About: I have experience walking and spending time with friends’ dogs. I’ve also lived with and cared for cats for several years, which has taught me to be attentive, patient, and responsible when caring for animals. I love dogs and enjoy keeping them active and engaged. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and instructions, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring the neighborhood, or simply providing companionship. I understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and I’ll take the time to get to know your dog and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently a PhD student in Biostatistics at Drexel University, so my schedule is flexible during the weekdays. I’m available on weekends and can work with you to find a consistent time that fits your pet’s routine. I’m happy to discuss your preferred schedule, including regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer periods of in-home care. I prefer to care for pets in their own home rather than have pets stay at my home. I’m happy to come to your home and provide attentive, reliable care in a familiar environment where your pet feels comfortable. I will follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of keeping doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and other pet-related items secure.
About: I’ve taken care of animals throughout my whole life. There was never a moment where I didn’t have an animal in the house. Influenced by my sister who became a vet, I took on dog sitting, walking and cat sitting as a past time while working to get into medical school and hope to continue this passion while working for my degree. I am currently a full-time medical student at PCOM. My schedule allows me to dedicate time to pet care on Wednesday evenings, weekends and additional mornings or afternoons depending on the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so providing reliable, attentive care fits naturally into my lifestyle! Whether caring for pets in their own home, or having them stay in my home I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make it a priority to learn each pets usual routine and make sure they are met with familiarity. I like to know their feeding schedule, favorite toys, walking preferences or any special habits or needs they may have. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime or cuddles I always make sure I adapt my care routine what works best for them.
“Victoria is a very attentive sitter with great communication! My cat had a great time with her and I received many photos of her throughout her visits. Would 100% book again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
Christina was so good with Nora! We were gone for 13 days which is the longest we have ever left her, and it was comforting knowing she was in such good hands. Nora was so relaxed when we arrived and all the pictures showed why. I would definitely ask Christina to watch her again!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
