“Julia was amazing!!!! She was great with Henry. She stopped by right on time, took him for a nice walk, and kept me updated with pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Henry seemed happy and well cared for when I got home. I'd definitely book with Julia again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”


About: I’ve dog sat several families dogs while they go away on vacation since I was in high school. I have a dog of my own that I’ve trained since she was a puppy! I currently work for Villanova athletics and just moved to the area. My mornings are free until I have to go into the office so why not spend it with dogs! My favorite thing to do is hang out with my dog. She is my whole world and I want someone else’s dog to have the same company when they need to work and have other priorities.
About: Since I was young, I’ve loved animals, specifically dogs! I have always had my own dog and have watched many different dogs, large, energetic, and even puppies! I currently work from home and have my own dog, so taking care of another pet whether it be drop ins or walks, is completely doable. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from anywhere. I have a small fenced in yard and a friendly Labrador! He is super energetic so I am constantly walking him and ensuring he gets his energy out.

“Very pleased with excellent time management and such a pleasant demeanor exhibited by Morgan especially since she has to take care of a senior dog. Much appreciated and wish you the best.”

“Mariah provided friendly, dependable, and courteous drop in care for our senior kitty. He needed medication at the last minute. (When we first booked Mariah , kitty only needed basic drop-in care. But just before we left an issue arose requiring medication.) Mariah handled everything beautifully and with care. Excellent”

About: I have absolutely loved all animals all my life! I currently have a one year old lab mix. He is a fun and energetic pup who loves all other dogs he meets. He is a great play mate. I currently live in a pet friendly apartment with a small dog park and neighborhoods for walks. I currently work from home so I am able to hangout with your pup all day! I am a nurse working remotely, so I am home every day and can hangout with your pup! My dog is very energetic and loves walks and playtime, so your pup will get plenty of exercise if that’s what they want! We also allow pets on furniture and have big dog beds for the pups who prefer to relax 😊 I live in a two bedroom apartment that has easy access to grass, a dog park, and neighborhoods to go on walks. Since I work from home I can take dogs out as much as needed.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for years, including walking dogs throughout my neighborhood since childhood and dog sitting throughout college. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels and love keeping them active with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m dependable and attentive to each dog’s individual routine and needs. I work full-time, but my job is fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m able to provide regular walks, check-ins, playtime, and attention during the workday, and I’m very flexible on weekends. For weekend stays, I can devote my time and attention to your pets and make sure they receive plenty of care, exercise, and companionship. I love to go on long walks or just hang out with your furry friends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new requires trust, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and keeping you updated while you’re away. I’ll maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and make sure they are in a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. I’m also happy to communicate regularly and send updates or photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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: I have over 3 years experience pet sitting animals, in particular, dogs and cats. I also have experience house sitting for longer periods of time. I love animals and treat the pets as if they were my own. I like to plan some fun and down time with each pet based on their preferences. I provide a questionnaire to pet owners. This is mainly to gather pertinent information about the pet and specific care needs. This information also helps to create a schedule and plan for the pet sitting experience. I also provide regular pictures/updates for owners based on their preference. I can provide an emailed report at the end of the sitting experience, at the pet owner's request. I look forward to caring for your pet.
“Mazi was amazing ! Her communication was on point ! And our dog and cat loved her. She provided us with great pictures and a left a very detailed note of how the visit went. I would definitely recommend and I will be booking with her again in the future!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a young teen (around 15 years experience) and have cared for a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, and small pets like rats, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I have also volunteered at rescues providing animal care, enrichment, and socialization. I have experience with senior pets, sick and medically complex animals, and hospice care for cats and dogs. I’m comfortable supporting pets with special needs, including disabled dogs and cats, and I approach every animal with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I have two happy cats of my own! My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care so animal friends feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I work about 20–30 hours a week as a counselor, but I have a flexible schedule where I set my own hours. This allows me to build pet care into my daily and weekly routine with ease. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of pets and their owners. I prioritize consistency and reliability so pets get care when they need it most. In a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I prioritize care, play, and one-on-one attention, and I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and favorite activities. I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their normal schedule and incorporating the things they enjoy most.
“Ulku and Andy are incredibly patient and very easy to communicate! They took great care of my dog, and I know I can always trust them to take her on walks when I’m away. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! My name is La and ever since I was little I have grown up with animals in my home. Starting from puppies to elderly dog, kittens to cats and even some reptiles! I have pet sit for multiple families growing up so I have numerous references so you can feel comfortable leaving your babies with me. Because of these experiences, I have learned how to give dogs medication, train dogs to do tricks such as sit, stay, lay down, paw, jump and play dead. I will treat your fur family as if they are my own so while they will be missing you, they will have a blast playing in the yard, with all of their toys, and with my two dogs. I do have a four year old rescue and a 7 month old golden retriever. We have a big backyard for the dogs to run around and play, plenty of toys, grooming tools, and time to teach new tricks and give your babies lots of love and treats.
About: Hello! I am a 25 year old animal caretaker! I have experience working with many cat and dog breeds. I specialize in high energy dogs! My family and I have been fostering for a non profit organization since 2015. With fosters the ages of 6 weeks to 14 years old. I have always been an animal lover. For fun my mom and I would go to our local animal shelters to hangout with the beautiful souls! I previously worked for an animal hospital as a kennel attendant I had the best time caring and playing with each visitor we had. I have experience offering check in visits and walking dogs in any weather (snow, rain, cold, hot). Thank you for your time and I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies! I’m available for walks Monday- Friday! As early as 7:30 am to 6 pm. Pet services are scheduled within a designated time window. For example, a 30-minute walk can be booked within the 11 AM–12 PM window, allowing me flexibility to arrive at any point during that hour. Even if you have a fenced in yard I will be outside keeping an eye on your pet. If you do not have a fenced in yard I can take your dog on walks to give them time to use the bathroom. If your pet needs to be crated I will be sure to give them a treat or a toy to have with them.
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.

About: After many years in the corporate world, I’ve chosen to spend more time doing something that has always brought me joy—caring for dogs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I provide dependable dog walking, drop-in visits, companionship, and personalized care based on your pup’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks, outdoor adventures, a game of fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I’m happy to provide a safe and enjoyable experience. I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout the years, I have cared for my own dogs as well as the dogs of family and friends. I am comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, maintaining schedules, reinforcing training routines, and recognizing the importance of patience, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. I have recently stepped away from my full-time corporate career, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate meaningful time and attention to the pets I care for. I am available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, evening care, and weekend visits. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, exercised, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Since stepping away from my full-time corporate career, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate quality time to caring for your pets. I enjoy maintaining a balanced lifestyle, so I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-in visits, and pet companionship throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether caring for your dog in your home or during walks and visits, I follow your pet’s established routine, respect your home, and provide attentive, loving care. I take time to build trust with each dog, use secure leashes and safe walking practices, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. I maintain open communication with pet parents and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.
“Once again, Amy did a terrific job with Sylvester! She was on time every day, sent great reports and so many pictures! It's great to see Sylvester happy and playing with his toys when I'm not there. I can tell he likes Amy because she has sent pictures of him waiting at the top of the steps - he only does that when he's excited to see someone! Will definitely be having Amy care for Sylvester whenever I travel. It's great to come home to a happy, healthy pet.”

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.

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.

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 .
