“Taylor provided excellent care to our two Dobermans. She was willing to come out early and meet our dogs and was very friendly. She arrived on time for a drop in visit and provided timely updates and many pictures of our dogs hanging out. We were very happy to use Taylor and will absolutely reach out to her again for future visits and stays during our travels.”

About: I’m a veterinary technician and have been working in the field since 2021. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable giving medications if needed. Taking care of pets is something I truly love to do, and I strive to provide genuine, dependable care to every pet I meet. As both a vet tech and trusted pet lover, your pet’s comfort and safety are important to me. I’m also flexible and happy to work with you on scheduling and dates that fit your needs. I work full-time as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my proactive, personalized approach to care, combined with a genuine passion for every animal's well-being. While many sitters offer basic feeding and walks, I focus on creating a stress-free and enriching environment that caters to each pet's individual needs. I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. It began with our dogs and has expanded to cats, birds, horses, goats, pigs, etc. as my family purchased a farm. Hi. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. The times I am available are OPEN. Let me know what works for you. My experience with puppies allows me to seamlessly continue any ongoing house-training or basic obedience work, ensuring consistency during their critical developmental stage. I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, helping to reinforce good behaviors and prevent common puppy pitfalls like nipping or jumping. This means your new furry family member won't miss a beat in their learning while you're away. Furthermore, my dedication to senior pet care is a significant differentiator. I understand the unique requirements of older animals, from administering medications (excluding injections) to providing gentle exercise and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort. I'm patient and attentive, ensuring their comfort and maintaining their routine with the utmost sensitivity. I'm also comfortable with mobility assistance and can adapt to any specific health needs your senior pet may have. Beyond these specialized skills, I offer: Proactive Communication: You'll receive regular updates, photos, and videos, so you always feel connected to your pet and have complete peace of mind. I'm quick to communicate any concerns or observations. A Deep Understanding of Animal Behavior: My background has given me insight into reading pet body language, understanding their cues, and responding appropriately, which helps prevent issues and builds a stronger bond. Exceptional Reliability and Trustworthiness: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring everything is secure and well-maintained. In essence, I don't just watch pets; I become a temporary, loving extension of your family, dedicated to their happiness, health, and continued well-being.
About: I've been around dogs all my life. My grandparents were breeders for Scotties, Cocker Spaniels and Terriers. My personal pets have been Velvet a cooker spaniel, Tobby a shepherd/lab mix, Doobee a shepherd/collie mix and my current cohort is Harley a 50 lb mixed breed rescue from texas. I have completed over 18 months of weekly training with Harley culminating with AKC canine good citizen certificate. What i learned from that experience was the importance and significance of consistency. Additionally that I am trained to be as consistent as possible in providing the type of care that you prefer for your pet. I'm retired so I am usually available anytime and can do same day appointments. I'm usually up before 6am and keep late night hours also so please feel free to contact me anytime. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your pet if needed. I have one pet friendly dog at home if your pet likes company. I do not have any children living at my home.
About: My ultimate priority is to ensure that your furry friend is cared for, feels loved, and has fun all while you’re away from home. In the past ten years I have owned 3 dogs.

I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, or just cuddling and relaxing with a good old furry friend! I believe that the ultimate key to the best pet care is attentiveness and providing your pet great companionship! Whether you have a cat or dog, your friend is my friend! I will play, cuddle, and treat your pet like my own! Rest assured your pet will have the best quality care and love! I work full-time M-F 8:00-3:45.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 684 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Philadelphus. 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 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
