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’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had seven dogs and six cats, so caring for pets was a part of my everyday life. From feeding and grooming to playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention, I learned early on what it takes to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for mice, turtles, and fish, giving me experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I’ve always had pets throughout my life, and caring for animals has never felt like a chore, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I also spend time feeding and observing backyard birds, which reflects my love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or another beloved pet, I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Although I have an unfenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. We also have a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks that are perfect for walks and exercise. If your pet is crate trained or you prefer they be crated when unattended or at bedtime, I’m happy to accommodate that routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own.
“Jacob was extremely detailed and asked questions I hadn’t thought of in order to make sure my girl had the most positive experience! I am extremely pleased with Jacob’s work.”
“Lisa is wonderful. She did drop in visits when I was away for a few days and my dog was well cared for. She walked him when needed and spent time with him when he chewed on his bones. She’s flexible and I will definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Amanda was amazing with our 2 pups. Both my dogs were so calm and took right to Amanda. Amanda sent pictures with every visit and communication was spot on. We needed someone at last minute and Amanda was very accommodating. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”
“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”
“Carolynn is great and we will be using her whenever she is available, to help with our dog! I am a nervous “dog mom” as I worry about our high energy, stubborn bulldog meeting new people, but he loved Carolynn right away and her approach with him was great. We had a meet and greet (twice) and loved that she was willing to do that with us here. She is professional and great with communication. Thank you Carolynn!”
“We are super pleased with Morgan's care of our 2 cats. She is reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. She is fond of my 2 cats. Will definitely use her again!!!”
“Amanda is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are well taken care of. She even stopped by an extra time during the heat wave to check that the temperature in the house wasn't too high. Five Stars!”
About: I spent 2 years volunteering at a dog shelter, while doing so I received training on dog handling at different behavior levels. I also professionally walked dogs with a small business for 2 years. I had many clients that I would walk for daily! Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work afternoon and nights, which leaves my mornings open. I’m looking to make the most of my time by helping pet owners with walks, drop ins, and quality care. I treat every clients home with the same respect I would my own. When meeting a new pup, I always take a slow, calm approach to let them get comfortable at their own pace and build trust. I always follow all care instructions. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for!
“Lynda and her daughter Abigail were great! She came over a few weeks before for a meet and greet which was awesome. She followed all of my directions and my dogs had a blast. Looking forward to using them in the future.”
“Rachael took GREAT care of my 5 month old puppy! Watching a puppy can be a lot of more work and I couldn’t thank her enough! I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a sitter.”

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.
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!
Katie was phenomenal as she cared for my two dogs during an overnight weekend visit. She sent adorable photos and regular updates daily, which put my mind at ease while I was away. She followed all feeding routines, took the dogs on walks, and played with them. She communicated so well, was very clean, and I was confident that my babies were well taken care of! I am very grateful to have found such a reliable, caring sitter! So thankful for her help.
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.
This was my second time booking Jacob and I was even happier this time. Jacob took care of my cats as if they were his own. He was available for an emergency visit one of the days I was gone, which I appreciate so much. He was able to give my cats their meds with no problem and was very communicative throughout my trip. I definitely recommend his services to other pet parents.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norristown. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
