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!

About: I have had family dogs all growing up! In my senior year of college I adopted a dog of my own which allowed me to understand the importance of training, taking care of dogs, and showing them unconditional love! I currently work a part-time job that is pretty flexible, so I will be able to meet all of your pets needs this summer!! I have been an animal lover my whole life and I know how it feels to trust someone else with your fur baby, so I am able to accommodate any needs that you and your pet may have to make them feel comfortable!

About: Hi! I'm Alexis, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, keeping your cat company while you're away, or staying overnight in your home, my goal is always the same - to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're gone. I've been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic huskies to laid-back pugs and cocker spaniels. I also have years of experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique routine and personality. Outside of Rover, I work full-time in a leadership role where reliability, communication, and attention to detail are essential every day. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, arrive when expected, and treat your pets like family. You'll receive regular photo updates and messages during every visit, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work full-time during the day, which makes me a great fit for afternoon and evening drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting. I keep my calendar up to date and always communicate promptly, so you'll know exactly when to expect me. Reliability is important to me, and I strive to provide dependable care that fits seamlessly into your pet's routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and supported in their normal routine. I follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I also understand that every pet is different. Whether your dog thrives on long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality and routine.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs and cats. Given medications when required. Long dog walks, trips to dog parks, belly rubs, games, pup cups, a fenced in yard with sprinklers and a puppy pool during hot weather. I use the WoofTrax app to document walks send photos to owners. The cats get play time and cuddles and ear scratches to make them purring. I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets from friends and family. I am currently semi-retired and working from home. I love taking care of pets and provide a warm, friendly environment. I have a fenced in yard, my dog loves playing with other animals. I can go to your home if you prefer and I’ll bring the toys and treats to keep your pet happy.

About: I've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.

About: I have been caring for my grandparents dogs while they go on vacation ever since I was 10, always making sure they were walked, fed, and kept in clean conditions. Caring for animals is never about just getting the job done for me, I genuinely love animals of all kind and enjoy interacting with them and getting to know each pets personality. In the absence of pets of my own, I have even taken to befriending crows, squirrels, chipmunks, and more in my backyard so that I still get to engage with animals daily. I currently only work part time on certain days, allowing me full freedom to care for your animals as often as needed to ensure they do not get lonely or bored while you are away! I always make sure the animals basic needs are met—food, water, and physical/mental stimulation—but also go above and beyond to make the animal feel loved and less anxious while their families are away.

About: I've always had a dog in my life. Since a child we always had a family dog and always have loved them. I now have the best cat ever. For many years I've watched friends pets (and new furry friends made on rover). It's always fun getting to play with them, take them out for long walks, and loving them as if they were my own. Due to my full time job, I'm mostly available Friday and weekends. I know that your pet and I will have a great time together if we get the chance! Thanks! I only work four days a week so I have plenty availability. Whether it’s just a quick day trip or a long weekend getaway I can be available for your pet I always take care of a pet as if it were my own. Some animals have special needs so I always make sure I follow their directions.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 25 years, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, so understanding their needs comes naturally to me. I’ve had the rewarding experience of raising Seeing Eye puppies, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of positive reinforcement. I’ve also worked in doggie daycare services, giving me hands-on experience managing multiple dogs, reading behavior cues, and ensuring a safe, fun environment. In addition, I volunteer with a rescue organization and have fostered over 60 dogs, helping them transition into loving homes. This experience has given me extensive exposure to dogs with different backgrounds, temperaments, and special needs. Whether your dog needs a calm companion, an energetic playmate, or extra care and attention, I treat every pup as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I am an educator, so my full time job ends late in the afternoon, with my weekends free. Of course, summer vacations make me very open for caring for your fur child. I have a secure fenced in yard with a room inside my home solely for my dogs. Your dog and their crate are welcome! My dogs are neutered, up to date on vaccines, and easy going.

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals including cats, dogs, turtles, mice, guinea pigs, parrots, and fish. Today, I am a proud pet parent to three furry babies of my own: two cats and one anxious ChiPoo rescue. Raising an anxious pup has taught me how to provide the patient, gentle care that sensitive pets need to feel safe. Over the years, I have cared for many neighborhood and family pets. This includes hands-on experience with administering medication, maintaining strict walking routines, and carefully managing animals that don't get along with others. I am dedicated to giving your pets all the love they deserve while strictly respecting their unique boundaries and routines I'm currently in between jobs and schooling. My availabity is very open on weekdays and varies on weekends. Mostly in the Manayunk-Roxborough larger area, but willing to travel further for longer commitments. I provide reliable, patient supervision tailored directly to your pet’s unique medical or routine requirements. Whether managing active play or comforting an anxious pet, safety and trust are always my main focus.

Amanda is truly an animal lover that is punctual, detail oriented, and sincerely considers and anticipates the needs of my furry family. Amanda asks questions to make sure every I is dotted and every t is crossed. It is super helpful to me the way she considers everything. Amanda has positive vibes and my Saint Bernard and two cats were very comfortable when Amanda was here for our meet and greet. Also from the pictures it was very clear how comfortable Oslo, Felix, and Charlie were with Amanda. I had peace of mind while out of the country and that is impossible to put a price on. I highly recommend Amanda!

Julie took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and treated them as if they were her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She kept me updated, made sure all of their needs were met, and gave them plenty of love and attention. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Norristown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Norristown is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 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.

As of October 2026, there are 9,461 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Norristown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Norristown 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 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.

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 Norristown 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 Norristown. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
