“Roxanne is so sweet & so fabulous with our Gracie. We are traveling so much this summer and she takes away our anxiety when we have to leave Gracie behind. Roxanne is super reliable and updates us throughout her stay. We are so grateful for her!”
“Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)”
About: I am a natural with dogs, and they gravitate toward me quickly. For years, I have cared for the pets of friends and family purely out of love for animals. (Both daily walks and cared for them for weeks at a time, was known as Camp Kathy.) I pride myself on being incredibly dependable and punctual. Your home's security and your pet's safety are my absolute priorities. I maintain a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to easily adapt to whatever your week looks like—whether you need a midday walk while you are at work or drop-in care while you are out of town. I work wonderfully with all kinds of dogs. I am just as comfortable managing high-energy pups who need active exercise as I am building trust with sweet, timid rescues who need a calm, patient companion. I adapt perfectly to their unique age and personality, bringing reliable, high-quality care right to your dog's doorstep! I'd like to start by saying I take great pride in being reliable and punctual, so you can count on me to always arrive exactly on time for your scheduled visits. Right now, I am completely flexible every single day of the week! Because my schedule is wide open, I can easily accommodate your preferred timing for dog walks and drop-ins. Whether your pet needs a morning stretch, a midday potty break, or an early evening check-in, I am available to provide dependable care right when you need it. Safety is my top priority when visiting your home. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving. During our walks, I keep your dog on a secure leash, stay highly alert to our surroundings, and never let them approach unknown animals. Your pet's well-being and security are always my absolute focus.
“Daisy is such a lovely person and was so kind to my dogs. Both took to her right away. She followed feeding and medication schedule with no issues. She also sent us photos and checked in every day. My dogs love her and we are so appreciative of her taking care of them with great care. I will be using Daisy in the future and highly recommend her. Maria B”
“Thanks to Paz, I could enjoy my holiday knowing the pets were well cared for. Paz sent me more than enough updates with pictures and texts, keeping me updated about the pets. I would recommend Paz as a trustworthy petsitter.”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 15 year old golden doodle and 10 year old cat, including giving our dog medications on schedule. She is very attentive to their needs and gave us lots of updates during our trip.”
“If I could give Katy 10 stars, I would! I’m very particular about who I trust with my dogs, but she is officially a miracle worker. Not only were my dogs clearly pampered and happy, but she went totally above and beyond by cleaning my house, something I didn't even request! Coming home to happy pups and a clean home was the best gift ever. She is professional, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately. Already booked her for my next trip in May :)”
“Angela was great with our pets! It was so nice being able to get away and know that our fur babies were in great hands! She sent a ton of updates with hoo this. She also went the extra mile to ensure we made it home safely to ensure our pets were taken care of! I will definitely be booking Angela again!!”
About: Hi everyone, my name is Emily and I am excited to partner with Rover to do what I love best; working with all kinds of different animals. I work a full time job and devote my time off watching your furry loved ones. Please feel free to ask me any questions about my pet experience. Thank you and feel free to book with me soon. 🐾 I work a full time job however I accept house sittings and drop in bookings. My weekends are free and my evenings as well after 6pm for a drop in visit and dinner. I have a hour lunch break that I can accept drop ins, feeding and walks. I am pretty basic when it comes to caring for your animal. I follow the directions provided to me by the owner and create a bond with the animal. I want the pet to feel safe and comfortable with me most importantly. Fun time is always added in when we are following the schedule set by the parents. I love to send updates and create a full photo album of there entire booking. It helps create a base relationship with the pet owners seeing their pet relaxed and enjoying their absence.
“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”
“Debra took exceptional care of our babies just like they were her own. When we came home they were so relaxed which is everything we hope for when we have to leave them. Thank you!!”
“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”
About: I have always felt a special connection with animals and grown up my whole life in a pet household. I have always had cats and small pets but it wasn’t until 5 years ago I finally got my own dog. We rescued him from a traumatic past so he had a lot of anxiety and fear. It taught me so much about caring for a more special needs pet that provided me with more patience, discipline and understanding for animals. I also have an adult cat and these two animals collectively make me so happy. These experiences have led me to want to give back in some way as a pet caregiver! I promise to give your fur babies the best care and love possible and to leave your home as if it were my own! I work shifts as a nurse but have my weekends and nights and a week day free! This schedule while my work days are busy allows me ample time off to care for your pets. Knowing any specifics about your pets such as routine, feeding, potty schedule, medications, personalities, etc is helpful in knowing how to provide the best care possible for them. Whether it is a drop in visit or going on a walk I promise to leave your pet more enriched and fulfilled after the visit than before!
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from judgy chihuahuas to laid-back Bernese mountain dogs. I’ve taken care of them from their playful puppy days through their senior years. I’m patient, experienced, and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, and I’m here for all of it! I currently work full-time (9am–5pm, Monday through Friday), but I’m flexible and happy to coordinate with your schedule to make sure your baby gets the care they need! I prioritize safety and trust by keeping open, honest communication. As long as you fill me in on any quirks, meds, or non-negotiables, I’ll keep things running just how they like it. And if anything feels off or out of my league, I’ll be honest, because your dog’s safety is way more important than winging it!
“Went above and beyond with our pets, Harvey and Aurora. 100% recommend. Harvey, Aurora, and our home were well taken care of. Very communicative and we received updates multiple times throughout the day. Anyone would be lucky to have Ahmirah watch their pets. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Joanna was great! I would use her again for sure! I trusted her in my home, and she made me feel very comfortable being away. Her dog Hennry is very sweet as well and got along with Chloe. Thanks Joanna!”
About: I have cared for my own pets (two cats and a dog) for over 8 years and have hands-on experience working in animal shelters. I understand how to build trust and friendships with animals, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and from Tuesday to Thursday I’m available after 5:00 PM to take care of your fur babies. I’m also available on weekends upon request. :) For client homes, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets in their familiar routine—whether that’s feeding, walking, play, or medication. I focus on making sure each pet feels loved, safe, and well looked after.

Lilly did an amazing job with my 8.5 year old pug. She stayed with him for one week and I was thrilled he was able to stay in his routine with minimal stress (4th of July fireworks and thunderstorms excluded). She was great with communication and daily pictures. I would highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.
Eva came through for us at the last minute when we had to travel unexpectedly for a family emergency. Our dog absolutely loved her from the moment they met and we felt reassured that she was in good hands with Eva throughout the trip. Eva gave her lots of love, reassurance, snuggles, and care while we were gone, even asking about our dogs preferences while we were away to make sure our pup had everything she needs. We would definitely book Eva again in the future and highly recommend!
Kevin is an incredibly warm-hearted and caring person! We hired him to stay with our 10 year old dog and 6 year old cat in our home for 5 nights. Our dog is not an easy customer. She’s quite anxious and she generally distrusts all strangers, but Kevin was able to win over her heart and shower her with love and affection! He sent pictures and videos each day, and we were so comforted to know our pets were happy and thriving under his care and feeling safe in the familiar surroundings of their own home. Kevin took excellent care of our pets and the house, and we would absolutely hire him again in the future!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newtown Square walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newtown Square maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Newtown Square 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
