About: I have had dogs all my life, my parents would be at work most of the day so I would take my dogs for walks, feed them, and take care of them. I am committed to creating a nurturing and safe environment for every dog under my care, treating them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their furry friends receive the highest level of attention and love! I am a recent Graduate from George Mason University and currently have full availability! I am currently in Pennsylvania for the time being, and my schedule is completely open as of right now! I follow the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with each pet, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, reducing any anxiety they might feel in their owner's absence.

About: Hi there! My name is Megan, but I go by my middle name Jaime! I grew up with both cats and dogs. My first pet was a German Shepherd-Husky mix named Abby, and her strength could’ve pulled an arm out of its socket! She taught me so much about love and care for animals, and especially how to handle walking a big, strong dog. I have provided care to numerous dogs and cats (apart from my own) over the years. My cat, Maximus, is staunchly an only child, but I have found myself really missing canine companions, which is why I’d love to walk yours. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a flexible schedule due to still being in school, and have plenty of time for your pup! I would probably be going on a walk anyway, so I’m really looking forward to bringing canine companions with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I am very well versed in reading dogs’ cues, and will happily adhere to each dog’s individualized needs. I will never let a dog off their leash or put them in an unsafe or uncomfortable situation. Your dog is safe with me!
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I also previously worked at a pet hospital, where I helped care for animals and became comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I’m attentive to the little things and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, meals, and companionship without rushing. I genuinely love animals and enjoy having them around, so caring for pets feels like something I naturally make time for every day. It really depends on the pet and the service. I like to stick to their normal routine as much as I can and give them whatever they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just someone around. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to give them attention and make sure they’re comfortable.
“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!”

“Maxi is incredibly kind, responsive and loving. It feels like Nola has become an extension of their family. She even whimpers with excitement when we pull up for her to stay with Mazi! Recommended whole-heartedly from a dog obsessed owner.”

About: I’m a former vet nursing student looking to earn extra money through pet sitting. I have experience with exotics including birds and reptiles as well as rabbits. I’ve been helping with my family’s business since the age of 13 and have a decent amount of medical knowledge so I can help with your pets who may need insulin or other life saving medications. Your pets will be in safe hands with me. I'm currently on a break from work due to taking care of myself as well as figuring out career paths. I will be spending all my time with your baby if they stay with us and I'll be happy to provide as many walks as you'd like. I have multiple pet gates and multiple floors for the safety of the pets. I am happy to try and trim your dogs nails as well as give them a bath before they head home. I am very attentive with medications and watching for medical needs as I have a background in veterinary nursing. I am also comfortable if your pet requires insulin or any other form of medication!
About: Hello everyone, my name is Kanassanan, you can call me Kate. I grew up with cats and dogs. I’m not afraid of grumpy cats or jumping dogs. I’m currently having one tuxedo cat and a Sheppard mix. While I’m in college I used to walk my friends' dogs. I love to spend time with them. I’m currently working part-time. I would love to spend my time with your pups. My schedule is flexible and I’m looking to have a good time with them. I have experience babysitting overnight with dogs. I can sleep next to them or keep an eye on them to make sure your pups are safe.
“Alexis was wonderful with my two kittens!! She was communicative, played and looked after them, and went above and beyond while she was at the house. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be reaching out to book her again!”


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: 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 got my first dog at 8 years old and I have been in love ever since. I've worked hands on with animals while employed at the Montgomery county SPCA as well as a dog boarding/daycare facility. I have my own spoiled dog and cat, so I'm very empathetic when it comes to the people you let around your fur babies. I currently work at an elementary school as my full time job, but on the side I love caring for others pets. I'm a full time working mom to a 10 year old boy. On weekdays I work from around 830am until 4pm at a local elementary school. Pet care and dog walking is little job on the side that I absolutely love doing. When visiting your home, I will gladly follow all instructions and respect the residence and animals as if they were my own. I understand what it means to put trust in others with your animals.
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: 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. I work full time as a 911 dispatcher for Montgomery county. On my off days, I’m looking for something that can fill my time. My schedule is VERY flexible. If you need a day that is marked as unavailable on my schedule, feel free to message me. On the days where I do work, it will be between 7am and 7pm, I am still available before and after my shift for a quick visit. Simple answer? Like my own. I have 2 dogs and a kitten of my own, who I love more than most people. I promise to give your fur baby the same amount of love and care I’d hope someone would give mine.

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.
“Great experience. Natalie got my shy cat to eat his food which is a big deal. If you need the pets to be fed at a certain time, make sure you are specific about that. I didn’t (my fault) and the cats got fed an hour early on her last day. Not a big deal but they will now bug me for the next two weeks to feed them an hour early haha. Will hire her again next time we’re out of town”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norristown
We were very impressed with Heather, from the initial meeting to introduce her to our cat and go over where things were in our house to the thorough communication during our vacation with the most pictures I have ever received from a cat sitter. 10/10 and will definitely hire Heather for our future vacations.

Grace was absolutely wonderful with our two cats while we were away! Her communication was thorough and prompt, and she went above and beyond to help with other things that came up around the house. What really stood out was how much quality time she spent with our cats and how genuinely she got to know their individual personalities. Her thoughtful updates and messages gave us so much peace of mind during a long vacation. We came home to two happy cats and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely book her again!

Rachel took excellent care of our two kitties while we went on a weeklong trip to California - she was fantastic! The communication was instant and she shared photo updates daily. She even went above and beyond pet sitting to notify us when the power in our downstairs room went out, watered our plants etc. This was our first time being away after we moved to a new house, so we were worried about how they would handle it. But when we got back, the boys seemed happy and weren’t anxious at all. Our shy kitty was even beginning to warm up to her, which speaks volumes - it usually takes him months to be comfortable around new people. He also gets angsty when we are gone for more than a couple days and spite pees after we return, however this time we had no accidents! Apart from that, she’s truly wonderful and a kind person. We’ll 100% be rebooking with her for future trips!

Si yeon was amazing. We have not been away more than 2 nights since pre-pandemic because our cats don’t do well without us, but we came home to 3 happy, well loved fur babies! We had such a great time knowing they were well loved and cared for. Needless to say, we’ll be taking more trips and booking with Si yeon again. We can’t thank her enough.

Julie did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was gone, providing plenty of pictures for me and engagement for them. She was also willing to work with me to get through my building's byzantine security system, which I appreciated. She made my first extended trip away from my cats a stress free experience.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norristown is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $5 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 9,820 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
