About: Hi, my name is Alexa. I’m a mom of two with a lifelong passion for animals, experienced with dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals. Please note my exact location is not currently on my profile for safety reasons. Please message me for exact location. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, loving environment with a large fenced yard, locked secure gates, and an Apple AirTag collar provided at drop-off. Animals are welcome on furniture, never crated, and not left alone unless requested. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medications, and routines so your pets feel completely at home. Our family dog, Boomer, an 8-year-old rescue mix, is gentle, easygoing, and loves to cuddle—he brings warmth and comfort to every pet who visits. I pride myself on being dependable, knowledgeable, and truly devoted to every animal I look after. Pet-care is my full time job, I devote my entire life to caring for my clients animals as well as my own. I am so blessed to have this line of work in my life and such wonderful clients. I stick to the animals normal routine to my best ability and offer a safe stable stay in my home that offers enrichment and fond memories to your animal for their entire duration of stay.

“Michelle was so great with our fur babies! She kept us well informed and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while we were away! Highly recommend!!”

About: I don’t have much professional pet care experience but I’ve had dogs of my own my entire life. I have experience training puppies to late stage of life senior dog care. Pet care is a 24/7 job for me. I’ve worked remotely since 2020 so my dogs were always a secondary task while I am home. Whether it’s taking a quick break to let the out, grab the a snack, or go for a walk on my lunch break. When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I take the time to understand your pet’s specific needs—from feeding schedules and walk routines to playtime, medications, and any special instructions.

About: We are nestled on 2.5 acres in North Coventry Township. We have a large portion of the property fenced in offering plenty of safe playtime. Our beloved bulldog went to the Rainbow Bridge & we are currently pet free. ** Please note – while we are currently dog free, we are no longer hosting non dog friendly. I have an animal science degree and have owned and operated a pet sitting business for over 20 years. I have also worked as an educator for the Philadelphia Zoo. Animals are my education and my career, taking "animal lover" to a different level. :-) We are unable to host large dogs. Small to medium sized dogs only. We host one dog at a time to make sure your furkid gets our undivided attention. If you live in the Pottstown area, I am also able to offer drop in visits & walking at your home. Please message for details. Additionally, we offer bird/parrot boarding if you or someone you know would like for their feathered kid to have lots of interaction. I have decades of bird experience from my time working at the Zoo & I had an African Grey parrot for 20 years. I have many sized cages available for your birds stay (if you choose to use one of mine) to allow for a seamless pick up/drop off experience. Feel free to message me with any specific questions.😁🐶🦜 I own a pet sitting business & have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home for long periods at a time. I’m in & out, but more in than out. Jason is also home full-time three days per week. Between both of our schedules, there is very close to constant company. I have a large fenced in yard fior plenty of secure and supervised playtime. I only take one dog at a time to make sure this is a fun & safe experience. I own a pet sitting business, so I’m in and out throughout the day. Jason is home full-time three days per week and home until 3:30 the other days. There is close to constant supervision. We have a spacious and secure fenced in yard in a country setting. We have some acreage where we can walk your dog as well. Unless we're out doing something together, someone is usually home. There may an occasional hour or two that no one is home. So pretty close to constant supervision. I have a very large & secure fenced in area. I always ask owners what they do with their dog at home & try to match that. For example, if you crate when you leave your house, I would do the same.
“Emily did a great job looking after our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of town for 5 days. When one of our dogs was wary of her during their initial meet-and-greet, she offered to meet them on another day prior to our departure to make sure all was well, and of course it was. She provided updates after every visit while we were away. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: Dogs may not be our whole life, but they make our life whole. Our hearts were stolen many years ago by our mini golden doodle named Kulfi . She is super friendly, and always looking to make a new friend. Kulfi is a part of our family, and we would treat your pup just the same! Play time and adventure is important to up. We would ensure your fur baby would have the best time with us. We live in Pottstown . We will make sure your fur kid gets our undivided attention always !We absolutely adore dogs and would love to take care of yours! Your dog will be in the best hands and have an abundant amount space to roam and feel comfortable inside and outside. We are CRATE FREE!!!. Unless a pet parent requests us to, we pretty much let your pup roam free in our house. If you decide to book with us, all we ask for is your pup's food, an idea on their feeding and sleeping schedules and a phone number to reach you with pics and updates! You are more than welcome to bring some treats, toys, and/or beds, but we do have toys and healthy treats too. - Drop off and pick up time are almost all hours of the day! Most importantly, we will care for your pup as if they were our own. We know the feeling of being on a trip and thinking or worrying about your dog. He/she will be on their own vacation here, having a blast in the yard or curling up to watch some TV. Either way, he/she will be loved and cared for as well as you do. We work from home so are able to do all-day care and take consistent breaks for walks, potty, and playtime.If you would like, we can set up a meet and greet. These are not necessary, but some pet parents prefer to do it. We are available most evenings. Coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors have all counted on us for pet care for many years. No fenced in yard but great walking neighborhood. House is very dog friendly for them to feel at home. We have a very large yard so there is plenty of room to run and play! Lots of open space to play inside as well. We are home during the day so we can play more and keep you informed.
“I’m so glad I found Wendy! She was sweet, prompt, and left detailed reports and pictures so I knew our dog was being well taken care of while we were away. I look forward to booking with Wendy again.”

“My cats loved Tristan! My male cat is usually very shy and a bit nervous, but with Tristan he was always around, comfortable, and very affectionate. I really enjoyed every update he sent during each visit, it made my trip much more enjoyable, knowing that they were in good hands.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life but in the previous 5 years is when I started to watch and take care of them more often I have plenty of time during the week and or weekends to watch 1 or multiple animals. I can stay overnight or do multiple drop in visits a day. I will make sure I have eyes on them on the whole time and tend to their needs when they need something. I will never walk them without a leash and steer away from other dogs being walked when I’m walking yours.

About: I’ve been taking caring of dogs since I was 8, I’ve had three of my own dogs, my current household has three dogs in total. My current household also previously had two cats I helped take care of as well. I am a very caring pet parent and treat others pets as my own. I am a full time stay at home day with my wife and I’s 20 month old daughter, but that does not stop me from taking care of pets. I have a fenced in yard for the three dogs I live with, get them exercise, plenty of water and feed them every morning and night. I can do the same for all of your pets and whatever else you request if I can accommodate it.

About: I’ve always had 3 dogs in the house growing up & now 2 of my own & volunteered at the SPCA for 2 1/2 years I’m currently working FT Monday through Friday 7am-3:30pm. I go straight home to tend to my two dogs afterwards and would be free by 4pm. Saturdays & Sundays I am off and would love to care for your pets when needed. I have a small yard but love dog parks, always have poop bags, extra leashes and snacks! Have to have the snacks! I also make my own treats.
“Tom was incredible! Great communication. We needed a last minute sitter and Tom came through in a big way. He was great with check ins and tons of pictures! Our dogs looked very healthy and happy upon our return!!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cared for my own for years. From daily walks and playtime to keeping up with feeding and routines, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of the family. Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine. I’m reliable. Ask for the general routine of the pet what special medication if any applicable and any other specific type of care the owners are requesting
About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.
About: I have lots of experience administering medication to dogs and cats and I am comfortable doing so. I am also comfortable watching puppies, who are not potty trained, and cleaning up after them. I have had many puppies in my life and cleaned up a lot of messes. Depending on your requests (and your dog's preference), I will take your dog on a long (2 to 3 mile) walk a day or to the dog park (probably in Pheonixville: on Longford Rd). A dog deserves to get all his energy out, and I do not charge more for walking them. I recently moved to the Valley View Apartments in Pottstown, PA. I work part-time at The Home Depot (6 minutes away). I have a BA in English from Stony Brook University in NY and I am returning to School this fall, part-time, to begin a new journey in Engineering. I love dogs and I would enjoy watching them and taking care of them. I have had dogs my entire life, and due to my recent move, this is the first time in my life I am without them in residence. Your dog(s) is free to go and sleep wherever they want in my apartment. My dog, Oliver, is a gentle, sweet pup with random bursts of puppy energy. He suffers with epilepsy, which is where I gained experience administering (over fifty: not an exaggeration) pills a day to my dog. Our dogs and cats are free to go wherever they want at the house back at home and when they stay here at my apartment. Although I am not living with them currently, I believe taking them out either for a long walk or to the dog park for at least forty five minutes is essential.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Pottstown is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pottstown
Jennifer did an incredible job with my senior dog. Normally I never leave him but I had an important doctor appointment that couldn’t be missed. She stopped over to meet him and familiarize herself with his routine. Jennifer was professional, knowledgeable, and so very loving with my special guy. His health was declining and he didn’t want to eat but she diligently coaxed him. I highly recommend Jennifer and I will be saving her number for the future.
Jack was great! Very accommodating and flexible to meet our needs. He was calm and pleasant with our old, grumpy dogs. He went above and beyond to make sure we didn't come home to a mess. Replies were quick and communication was clear. Will definitely use his services again!

CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GRRRREAT THINGS ABOUT GRACE!!! This is our first time using Rover, love it!! Grace was one of three we were going to interview, lucky for us we cancelled the other 2!!! Grace stayed with our two pups and two cats during the 4th of July weekend. Some may remember there was a bad storm that came though around 10-10:30 the night of the 4th. Grace came back during the storm to our house to sit with the pups!!!! We didn't ask, she was scared for them and we loved that she did!!! She sent us videos, chats... we just love her care so much! Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful experience with Ariel watching our dogs while we were out of state . She provided daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was attentive, reliable, and treated our dogs like they were her own. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

I highly recommend Madison!!! They followed all my instructions for feeding and giving my senior dogs their medications, and were careful to monitor that the dogs didn't get each other's food (which is very important because one is allergic to the others food), and then spent time giving love to both my dogs! I particularly appreciated that my oldest (who loves getting pet but can sometimes be overlooked because her younger brother is super social) got plenty of attention (along with her brother) and both were super content and happy when I got home later! It's hard to find someone I trust to care for my sweet senior beagles, both have medical conditions, and I'm so glad I came across Madison!!! I have complete confidence and trust in Madison, and I can tell they truly care about my dogs and will take great care of them when I can't be here! I will definitely use Madison as my first choice next time I need someone to take care of my beagles!

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.
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 Pottstown 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.
