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: I have great experience in dog handling, training, walking, and sitting both in groups and individually. I also hold a certification in Canine & Feline CPR/First Aid from Pet Emergency Education. I am highly vigilant of behavioral cues and feel my best when I am around animals. I regularly go for long distance walks and do barbell strength training to ensure I am strong enough to keep your pup safe. I also have experience with kitten care as I raised 2 litters! I am a stay-at-home wife so I am available anytime Monday through Saturday for your pet's needs! I know the Norristown area quite well as to ensure shady, safe walking areas for your pet. I am Canine & Feline CPR/First Aid Certified by Pet Emergency Education. If pet-sitting or overnight stays are needed, I always listen attentively for owner preferences. Any specifications regarding food, medication, bathroom breaks can be ensured. I also have experience providing ear drops and pills to dogs, and bottle feeding for kittens.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs. I have a 12-year-old diabetic chocolate Lab who is not just our family dog, but my best friend, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving pets extra care and attention. Caring for a senior dog with medical needs has taught me responsibility and how important routines are. I’ve also dog sat for family and friends many times. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are getting plenty of care, attention, and love while they’re away. I am currently unemployed, so I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, or simply keeping them company, I can easily adjust my day around their needs. In my home or your home, I understand that every pet is different. So I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, or special care needs. My main focus is making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible!
About: I take care of my friends dogs, so I’ve got plenty experience, let alone the dog I have and raise. I’ve grown up with dogs; I don’t mind bathing and grooming if they don’t mind. I especially love puppies and tiring them out. Dogs rule! I’m currently applying for disability and am unable to work a full or part time job - but I’m able to sit with my own dog and take care of her, so if I can make rent helping others with their pets I would be happy to do so I prefer to go to other homes as my house is a bit of a mess as it stands. However I do have a backyard and a dog & 2 cats who are all friendly. That being said, I will follow any rules and regulations on your property.
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was a baby. My first dog, Mixie (a Japanese Tibetan Spaniel), and I grew up together. She met me at the bus stop every day after school — this was before leash laws — and she was truly my best friend. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. All of my pets have been rescues, and each one has been treated as family. Over the years I have: • Raised and cared for rescued dogs and cats of all ages • Adopted my Maine Coon, Tigger, at 12 weeks old and cared for her through adulthood (she even traveled with me from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania) • Raised my Maine Coon mix, Abigail, from kittenhood through 16 years of age — attentive to senior care needs as she aged • Lived for 1.5 years in a multi-pet household with: – Chloe, a 3-year-old Pit Bull – Bear, a 14-year-old Pit Bull/Labrador mix (senior care experience) – Maggie, a tuxedo cat (cared for 10 years) – Max, a tabby (cared for 10 years) – Abigail, my Maine Coon mix During that time, I managed vet visits, medications, feeding schedules, litter maintenance, senior care, and daily backyard exercise and enrichment • Raised Brumby at my apartment — he was my emotional support dog and went everywhere with me, including daily trips to the on-site dog park and errands • Loved and cared for bonded rescued kittens Muffin & Cookie I am comfortable with: ✔ Vet appointments ✔ Administering medications ✔ Senior pets and aging care ✔ High-energy dogs (including young Pit Bulls) ✔ Multi-pet households ✔ Feeding routines & special diets ✔ Structured exercise and enrichment I treat every animal with patience, love, and respect. Their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being always come first. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and truly devoted to animals, I would be honored to care for your pets. 🐾 Reliable 🐾 Trustworthy 🐾 Flexible scheduling Please feel free to message me to discuss your pet’s needs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I live in Jeffersonville and work Monday–Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM in Berwyn, which allows me to provide early morning visits before work and evening visits after work. I am fully available on weekends and can often accommodate requests with just a few hours’ notice. I’m also happy to stay overnight during the week or on weekends when needed. I’m organized and dependable, and I schedule pet visits thoughtfully so every cat receives my full attention — whether that’s feeding, medication, playtime, litter maintenance, or simply companionship and comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I carefully review feeding schedules, medication instructions, litter or potty routines, exercise needs, and any special preferences beforehand. I provide enrichment, playtime, affection (if the pet welcomes it), and detailed updates so owners feel completely at ease while away. I am attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits and will notify owners immediately if anything seems off. Cleanliness is important to me — I keep litter areas tidy, wipe food areas, and leave your home exactly as I found it. If caring for a pet in my home (if applicable), I provide a calm, safe environment with structured feeding, supervised play, and plenty of attention. I do not overcrowd pets and prioritize comfort and safety at all times. My goal is for your pet to feel secure, loved, and relaxed while you’re away — and for you to feel confident they are in responsible hands.
“Talia was amazing! I booked her last minute and she made everything work very smoothly. You can tell she genuinely cares, everything felt easy and stress-free from the start. My cats got along great with her! I’d absolutely recommend booking her!”
“Julianna is great with Goose! She really goes the extra mile to spend quality time with him during check-ins and work on his training. We are lucky to have her just down the street!”
“Wonderful!!! I was so happy to find Kathleen on short notice to help me with my beautiful newfoundland Pearl. Kathleen was so nice and took great care of her for drop in visits to go to the bathroom and feed her while I was out of town. So thankful to find her and we look forward to using Kathleen again!”
“Ryanne is always so communicative, flexible with our schedule & buddy’s need + she leaves the best rover card comments/pictures after each visit ☺️ We appreciate you”
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.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the fact that I will love and care for your dog as if it was my own. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors dogs for about 2 years now, so I’m experienced with different types of dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. There’s a lot of times within the day where I will be able to stop by and check on your dog! I provide loving and reliable pet care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
About: We love dogs so much! Our pup Penny loves to relax and play with others dogs. She is very kind and gets along with all dogs. Tyler works full time mostly from home but goes into the office every other Wednesday+Thursday. We have a fenced in backyard and Tyler loves taking breaks to stretch her legs to walk the dogs. We have a fenced in yard, and dogs are allowed on the furniture. We can easily crate your dog if needed and keep our dog in our room at night.
“Natalee is so amazing! Our kitty was having some tummy issues while we were away and she was a champ and made sure our kitty felt cared for a loved and cleaned up the messes. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️”
“Jeffrey was kind and responsible with my dog Oso. I also appreciate his patience and understanding when there was an issue with getting into my home for the visit (I accidentally had forgotten to replace the batteries in my garage door opener so had to direct him where to find a spare key). Thank you!!”
“We are returning clients - cannot say enough good about these two. They are on time and thorough. They also pay attention to detail around our home, which is a god send when you’re away for a week! Will always return, Otis loves them!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norristown
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.
Lynda did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog while I was away. She did drop-in visits and walks, which allowed my dog to stay comfortable at home instead of being in a boarding facility or someone else’s house. It was the perfect match for us. Lynda was incredibly communicative, friendly, and knowledgeable about dogs. I could tell she truly respects and enjoys what she does. She was always punctual and professional, and I really appreciated the thoughtful notes and photos she shared after each visit. I will definitely be using her services again without a doubt.
Alyssa is always punctual and went above and beyond for us while caring for our two dogs. Our one dog is a handful and she was able to put her at ease as well as handling a couple house items that came up. Wehave had her before and would recommend to anyone.
Alec was top notch! Our big boy St. Bernard can be a bit grumpy towards strangers but Alec took the time to stop over before the booking service to meet him and bond. He was incredibly kind to our babies- even took time to love on our kitties and send pictures of them though they didn’t need anything. He was reliable and quick with any communication. Can’t say enough about Alec. We will hands down book with him again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Norristown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 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 .

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

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.
