About: Hello Everyone! I’m Nicole and that cute guy in my photo is my pup Lochly. He’s a corgi mix and he’s awesome! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last 20+years. I’m a realtor and a host on Airbnb and make my own schedule so I’m flexible with my hours. I like dogs of all sizes and breeds and ages. Walks, fetch, tug of war, snuggles and belly rubs ... I can do it all. I live just outside of northeast philadelphia but I am on the move a lot for work so I can cover all areas of the city. i really enjoy meeting new people and their pups and I look forward to this new venture. I am a realtor who makes her own schedule. I have lots of flexibility during the week to be able to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m detail oriented so please leave all the things required to care for your dog, no matter how silly it may be. If your babies are anything like mine they definitely have some quirks that need to be indulged and I am happy to oblige
“David was once again amazing with our very senior and very frail dog, as well as our other dog and cat. He was reliable, punctual and did exactly what he said he would do. He also was very flexible with scheduling and we’d love to hire him again.”
“Julie was really great!! She def knows cats!! I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. She was able to give my cat medications and his inhaler as he has asthma. Was really great about following all instructions and had great photos to share. So happy with her care and would def use her again.”
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.
“We are always apprehensive about leaving our dogs with a stranger but Chelsea was totally great with them. She got to know them at the meet and greet and kept us up to date every step of the way while we were away. We would definitely use Chelsea again.”

I meticulously follow any specific instructions provided by pet owners, such as administering medication or adhering to particular feeding schedules. By prioritizing the well-being of the pets I look after, I ensure they receive the consistent, loving care they deserve, seamlessly integrating pet care into my everyday life. Check us out on social media otepetsitting & otecarrentals. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, involves providing a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs.

I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and full of love and attention.

About: I am well rounded in all animals and have had many dogs and cats throughout the years. On average I have at least 6 pets in my home whom i take care of, walk, feed, and clean. My dog gets medicine so I am good with giving dogs pills. As well as cats because two of my cats take pills and one gets two shots everyday for diabetes. I walk my dogs daily and love taking them to see new things and go to new places! I love cats and am capable of cleaning after them, like scooping the litter. I also have experience with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. On my profile currently I selected no pets because I cannot bring any pets with me to hangout with other animals as I am living at college currently. I am a college student so my schedule changes everyday. Taking care of pets is a great addition to my day and good way to get outside. So anytime i am not in class i am available for walks! In my own home I feed and water my pets everyday, as well as scooping the litter twice a day, walking the dogs on a long walk at least once a day. I can give medication if need be as well. In clients home I am able to do the same treatment as needed.

About: Hi there, I'm Marco Nunes, the founder of Polo's Paws—a local business dedicated to providing insured, affordable, and high-quality care for dogs. My journey with dogs began when my family rescued a pup facing significant behavioral challenges. She was aggressive towards people and other dogs, and destructive when left alone, making daily life challenging. Determined to help her and others like her, I immersed myself in the world of dog care. I started my career at a dog daycare that offered private lessons and boarding. Under the mentorship of experienced trainers, I quickly learned effective techniques. I led pack walks with groups of 10 dogs, of various breeds and temperaments. Through this experience, I not only transformed my family dog but also gained the skills to help other families achieve the same relief and joy of having a well-socialized, happy companion. Today, my goal with Polo's Paws is to ensure every dog I work with is fully fulfilled and transformed, allowing families to enjoy their wonderful company without the stress of managing a restless dog. With Polo's Paws, you can trust that your dog will receive comprehensive care and training, tailored to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I currently work part-time and it’s work from home, which means I spend all of my day with my dog—going on walks, playing, and ensuring they stay active and happy. Your pup will seamlessly join our routine, getting plenty of exercise, socialization, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether it’s a fun pack walk, playtime in my fenced yard, or relaxing downtime, I’ll make sure they have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience while in my care! I provide a secure and enriching space for your dog, whether in my home or yours. My home features a fenced yard and an in-building dog park, perfect for burning off energy. Your pup will also enjoy daily pack walks, just like the ones I led while managing groups of 10 dogs at a time in a doggy daycare. I have a friendly resident dog who loves company, creating a social and welcoming atmosphere. If needed, I can also crate dogs for rest and sleep, ensuring a structured and comfortable stay. Safety, trust, and a happy environment are my top priorities!
About: I am a dog person. I have one large breed dog. I have watched big dogs , little dogs. Puppies to elderly dogs. I walk them around the block or to the park. Whatever their needs are I am the perfect person to care for them. I will care for them as if they were my own. I dn't mind if they want to sleep on my bed or they want to snuggle on the couch. Your pet will be in great hands in my home or in your home. I am honest and very reliable. Your pet will be in great loving arms and cared for. I can give you updates too. My home is your pets home. I have plenty of room. So come and visit us. I am available during the summer and weekends and night time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palmyra
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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palmyra 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.
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 Palmyra 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. 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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

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.
