About: As dog parents with experience in fostering, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, and favorite things so they feel comfortable while you’re away. We understand that every dog is different, some love playtime and long walks, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. We will follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and confident that your dog is being cared for. I work a very flexible hybrid schedule, and my husband works fully remotely, so someone is always home throughout the day. Caring for our own dogs is already part of our daily routine, and we work together to provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. We believe walks and enrichment are important parts of keeping dogs happy and fulfilled. We make time for walks that let dogs set the pace and enjoy plenty of sniffing, along with enrichment activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. We also enjoy visiting local parks and fields for more exploring. At home, we have a tether anchored in the backyard for supervised outdoor time, and we will always follow your dog’s comfort level and preferences when/if you prefer for it to be used. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s needs and usual routine to make sure our schedule and activities are a good fit. Whether your pet stays in our home or I visit them in yours, their safety and comfort are always a priority. Before booking, we’ll discuss their personality, routines, and any special needs so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. For stays in our home, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog gets along with ours and make sure everyone is a good fit. We’ll discuss feeding arrangements, supervision, and any boundaries your dog needs, including having their own space to relax. Outdoor tether time is always supervised and only offered with your approval. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and home security. We’ll also go over any triggers, escape tendencies, or other concerns so I know what to watch for. You’ll receive photos and updates, and your pet will get plenty of attention, patience, and care.
“You will not find a sweeter or happier home for your pup! They also had such a friendly communication style and sent so many cheerful photos while our fur baby was with them! ❤️”
“Danielle is absolutely wonderful! She and her husband are clearly thoughtful, kind people and their dog is such a sweetheart! Danielle arranged for my dog, Pepper, to come out and meet them and check out their house before her stay. During the weekend Pepper was with them Danielle kept in contact and sent me photos which completely put my mind at ease. I absolutely would recommend Danielle for any of your pet boarding/pet sitting needs and I’m sure Pepper will be back in the future!”
“I am very anxious about leaving my dog with anyone and I felt very calm and good about leaving Rosie with Christin. She was clearly very attentive. Sent me lots of updates and photos, which I always really appreciate. She gave Rosie all kinds of loving attention. I could not ask for a better situation when I have to leave my beloved dog under someone else’s care.”

About: Hi! I am a dog and cat lover who has taken care of both for years. I have frequently watch friends and family's pet, and now that I have recently moved I am looking to meet more people in need of some help! I currently work in person Monday-Thursday and remote on Fridays. I have an early schedule 7-3, so I am available starting around 3:45 on weekdays. On weekends I have extensive hours to fit your needs! I live adjacent to the SRT, which also has a very nice dog park. This area has plenty of great areas to walk your pup around.

“Could not recommend more. Mike cares for your dogs like they are your own and he really understands different dog temperaments. We are so glad we found him to help look after our fur babies when we go out of town. We will definitely be using him again and again.”
“Tina was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! My dog had the best time staying with her and het family. She sent daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her backyard is clean, spacious, and perfect for dogs to roam and play safely. It’s clear she genuinely cares, my dog got plenty of exercise, attention, and entertainment the entire time. I could tell right away he was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ve already booked another stay!”

About: I’ve not only been a pet parent for many years; I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters and done pet sitting and boarding for cats and dogs. I love animals and treat every one as my own. Nicknames-Carla/Carolyn. I’m available for weekend/holiday boarding to allow pet parents the freedom to have a well deserved getaway experience when desired. Dogs/cats in my care are never left alone. Only one dog is in care at any given time unless dogs are from the same household and are friendly with each other. There will never be more than two dogs on the premises simultaneously. I’d be delighted to have your pet join our happy home and enjoy a fun mini vacation of their own. I treat each pet as if they were my own. In my pet centered home, I provide loving care and supervision at all times. I remain on the property for the duration of your pet’s stay. Dogs are always on leash when outdoors. Doors are always secured. Dogs are secured in vehicle if transported (leash with seat belt or in secured carrier. Cats are in secured carrier if transported. Since I have 2 cats, pets are compartmentalized in my home , if needed. At pet parent’s request, oral/topical medication may be given if I feel comfortable administering.
“Tina is a great dog sitter and took wonderful care of our dog for the weekend! She kept in touch, sent pictures and updates and was very responsive. Bailey came home very tuckered out, so we know she was busy and had fun! Thank you!!”
“Our first time leaving Max with Sangeetha and I was very nervous. Max, who was a rescue from a neglect situation, is aggressively affection. At 85lbs, he can sometimes prove to be a LOT. Sangeetha and her husband were wonderful with Max! He was so happy and comfortable with them (I have many pictures to prove it) and he came home better behaved than before he left!!! Sangeetha will be our sitter of first choice from here on out!”
“Zyiana was amazing!!! What a wonderful dog sitter, she treated my two dogs aka my babies with amazing care, she was wonderful at communication, timely and sent frequent updates and photos which was so reassuring for me!! I would 10/10 recommend Zyiana for any dog sitting needs.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Norristown is $52
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norristown
Ena and Dan are fantastic! We are so grateful to have found them. This was our first time using Rover, and they made us feel so comfortable. They truly cared for our dog just as we would. They sent us photos and video updates multiple times a day, which we really looked forward to. They even took our dog to a dog park, played with him, and gave him a nice bath that evening! Our dog enjoyed playing with their dog, and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again. They are lovely people who cared for our dog and showed him so much love!
This was our second time booking with Kathleen and Matthew, and they were wonderful! They’re friendly, accommodating, and organized. They took the time to ask about Elsie’s routines and schedule, wrote everything down, and made sure to confirm details. We also loved receiving pictures and updates while we were away. Best of all, Elsie was so excited to see them again! It’s such a great feeling knowing she’s in good hands. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Rachel and Steve took such good care of our cat Rascal! They sent frequent updates and pictures and clearly spent quality time with him. This was our first time leaving Rascal so I was nervous, but Rachel was very communicative and put my mind at ease. We would definitely book with them again!
Emma was fantastic with our 5 month old puppy, Tatum. Tatum typically follows me everywhere when we are at home. This was the first time leaving her somewhere so I was a little nervous about how she would do. When I went to pick Tatum up I thought she would be so excited to see me and I picked her up but she was itching to get down and play more with Tofu (Emma’s dog). 😂 I could tell she had a great time. Highly recommend!
Mariah and her family were an amazing and very thoughtful sitters who took great care of my senior, anxious pup. Oreo loved her experience and Mariah kept us updated throughout the day which was very helpful. I would recommend her and would have her watch my dog again!
Phil has stayed with Lynda a few times now and everytime he comes back relaxed, rested, and energized. Lynda provides a variety of pictures including stimulating activities (eg walks and play time) and great relaxed/sleeping pics. She also provides clear and prompt communication including concerns and considerations (eg whether another dog will be present) and works with you to ensure drop off and pick up are a breeze. Can’t recommend Lynda enough
Rachel is the absolute BEST. Our dog loves her. She sends incredible updates and she is so kind. Our pup had a bellyache going into a 10 day trip overseas and I was very stressed about leaving him. Rachel assured me he would be fine and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of and provided updates on his status. She is honestly incredible.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
