About: Long-time Dog Lover and Owner Here! I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, ranging from Beagles to Pits but I love all breeds of dogs. Over the years I’ve done lots of dog sitting for friends and family and am always up for some good play time and cuddle time with doggos. I’m experienced with administering medication to dogs and cats. I’m also a quick learner and will be very mindful about particular requests in caring for your dog. I love to walk all over the city and look forward to taking your fur babies along with me!. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your pups with lots of love! Note: Unfortunately, I cannot care for or accommodate cats as I am highly allergic :( I currently work mornings until 2pm and live close to work so I have full afternoons and evenings available for your fur baby. I’m also off on weekends and have open availability. I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I do have a 5-year-old child but she has been around dogs and is very kind and gentle with them. However, your dog must be ok with small children. I also live in a neighborhood with wide sidewalks and a nearby playground making it super easy to walk your dog. I also have a car so I can easily drive to places in the area to for drop-in visits and dog sitting.
About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life, and have experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering, basic medication’s, or providing companionship, I understand the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine to ensure they receive personalized care. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to providing a positive experience for both pets in their owners. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. As a student, I am not working a full-time job and I manage my time carefully and have availability throughout the week to provide dependable pet care. My daily routine involves going on walks during the week anyway. spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so dog walks and pet visits fit naturally into my routine. I make sure to schedule my responsibilities in a way that allows me to give petty attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I currently have one dog right now named Gracie! Caring for her includes feeding, walking, playtime, and just making sure she receives plenty of attention and affection. when caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the pets established routine and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I maintain feeding, walking, and medication schedules, keep the home, clean and secure, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. My goal is to make pets, feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I like to care for my clients pets, just as I would want my pets cared for!
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds including not just cats and dogs, I currently care for 2 cats and 2 dogs and love them all. I volunteered at an animal shelter for multiple years and want to continue animal based experiences! I work currently part time but often have my weekends free and enjoy a good walk after getting off of my job, I do part time teacher work so the mental refresh is helpful I believe in utmost safety priority, including surveying surroundings constantly for threats, adjusting to it situationally and avoiding drawing attention to it incase it excites the animal.
About: I have had dogs since I was born, I love every breed of dogs no matter their size. I have watched my neighbors dogs over the years and I missed it, so I just really want to help out owners and help the dogs experience a little bit of a better day than being locked inside all day especially during the nice summer weather. I do work part time at a retail store but they give me no hours really so I am very free and flexible. Just hit me up at least a day ahead and I got you. I am a very cautious person, I really care for dog’s safety. I will do anything to keep dogs safe. I know what it feels like when someone else watches your dog. I will go to my full extent to keep the dog and owner happy.
“Wow I was extremely nervous about leaving my boys with someone I didn’t know but David made everything so easy! We discussed all my expectations! He sent great updates and made sure I knew everything that was going to happen during the visits. I will absolutely rebook with David!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover providing dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like family while respecting their unique routines, personalities, and comfort needs. As a licensed esthetician, I’m naturally patient, detail-oriented and committed to creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I understand how important routines are, so I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality. I have experience caring for my own cats, as well as pet sitting for family and friends’ dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, overnight care, potty breaks, and litter box cleaning. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work 3–4 days a week as a licensed esthetician at Glowbar in Rittenhouse, with shifts typically starting around 2:30 PM, though my schedule can vary slightly week to week. Because of this, I have consistent availability in the mornings, earlier afternoons and on my days off to dedicate to pet care services like walks and drop-ins when needed. I’m very organized and intentional about managing my time, so I’m able to plan my pet care bookings around my work schedule to ensure each pet gets my full attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owner is away. I take the time to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, litter box care, playtime, and any specific preferences the pet may have. I approach each visit with patience, calm energy, and attention to detail. I understand that pets can be sensitive to change, so I move at their pace and focus on building trust so they feel secure with me. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would my own. I keep everything clean and organized, make sure doors are secured, and always leave the space as I found it. I’m very mindful of safety, including checking water bowls, ensuring pets are comfortable before leaving, and giving updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to make both the pet and the owner feel completely at ease and genuinely cared for.
“Nicole was fantastic with our two cats, who required a lot of love and attention while we were out of town. She always went above and beyond which was extremely helpful and appreciated! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my family for years. But I’m looking to branch out and help others who need help as well! I’m a college student trying to get by and am willing to help out as much as I can! I currently work 2 jobs babysitting 2 times a week in mornings, and in the mall usually nights. But I’m still flexible enough to fit an animal or two in! I will play and take care of your pet as if it’s my own! I will stick to regular routines (if i’m told there’s any) and will try my hardest to keep them happy!
“Jessica took great care of our nervous little scaredy cat while we were away! We’ve booked her more than once, and we look forward to more bookings in the future.”
“Antoinette was amazing with my cats! She was great at following the instructions given and communicating with me. She also provided pictures and videos which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Amy is amazing!! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She sent us loads of pictures and was very responsive. She is super sweet and I would recommend her to everybody. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby :)”
“We asked Michael to step in when our sitter became ill. Not only did he accept the job at the last minute, he also came back later in the day when our appt. ran overtime. We are very grateful for his assistance with our new puppy.”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.
“Hali has been a life saver. So grateful for her. She took pics and kept me up to date with her visits. Loved the pictures. She is compassionate towards the animals. Will definitely use her again”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Palmyra is $20

This was the third time Matthew has cared for Toby, Twix, Tilly, and Tessi, and it was also the longest period I have ever been away from them. Each time, he consistently demonstrates genuine care, patience, and professionalism in handling my dogs and their individual needs. Toby is a special needs dog who requires a belly band, regular cleaning routines, skin care treatments, and close monitoring. In addition, right before my trip, Twix developed ulcers that required medications and eye drops, and Matthew managed his treatments carefully and patiently, even when administering them was difficult. Caring for four dogs is already demanding, but my situation is especially complex. My boys must remain separated due to fighting, the girls can be destructive with bedding, and accidents can happen. Finding someone willing and capable of managing these responsibilities has always been a major concern for me, especially when trying to travel to visit my fiancé. One of the things I appreciate most is the level of communication Matthew provides throughout the stay. He consistently sends updates and photos, and he is very attentive about voicing any concerns regarding my dogs’ health or behavior. That level of detail and attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away and reassured me that my dogs were being carefully monitored and genuinely cared for. Matthew has given me complete confidence and peace of mind every time he watches my dogs. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, reliability, and dedication he provides, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking attentive and trustworthy pet care.
Deresha is great! Feel like I got lucky with her being available. She knows her way around dogs of all breeds and can handle any type trouble your dog may give some one. Trusted her more and more as time went on. You won’t regret hiring Deresha to take care of your little ones, she’s great and is even willing to meet you before you need services to make sure she’s a good fit for your mascots. Deresha is the best!

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.

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

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.
