About: I have always had pets in my life, dogs, cats, gerbils, snakes, turtles, fish... I am very comfortable with everything I've come across so far. I recently retired, and am looking for ways to help others, while doing something I enjoy. My daily calendar fluctuates, but with enough notice, I should be able to meet your schedule. I am very respectful of your home and property, and will do my utmost to follow your instructions to keep your loved-one(s) safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and now own a dog myself. I have many years of experience taking care of animals. Pet care is apart of my everyday life. I have my own dog so she fits into my schedule before and after work and on the weekends! When caring for pets during drop in visits, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re not there. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and the care they need during each visit. For dogs, I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a little playtime. I am also comfortable administering medications. I love keeping pet parents updated, so I provide photos and messages after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care whenever you can’t be there.
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 10 and also have professional experience with MUTTch Better Dog Walking. I truly love animals and enjoy providing reliable, loving care! I’m a teacher, so I have a consistent schedule and am available after school, on weekends, and during school breaks. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine closely, while giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 15 years, including being a dog mom for 10 years until my 2 best friends went over the rainbow bridge in 2025 and beginning of 2026. Currently I do not have any pets and will enjoy the opportunity to share my love of dogs with your furry family members. I currently work from home and will be able to do long walks in the morning, mid-day and evening. I can also let them out multiple times throughout the day depending on schedule needs. I have a fully fenced in large yard and easy walking paths nearby. I do have a crate it needed, otherwise your dogs will spend time on the couch and bed, all furniture is dog friendly.
About: I have been a pet lover all my life. I have taken care of dogs for 10+ years now. Your fur babies will be in the best care possible with me and enjoy a nice nap after all our walks and play time. I currently work from home, therefore, i have open availability in my schedules to help take care of your fur babies at any time of day :) I have an unfenced yard and lawn space that our pups play in. They can be territorial so all bookings will need to be done outside of my home. My schedule is always open
“Erika was awesome! She was able to come on short notice and really saved our trip! She was thorough, communicative, and took great photos and kept us posted with each visit. We definitely recommend for anyone needing to have a pet sitter or a drop in!”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 6 years. I went to Harcum College for animal science and behavioral. I have great experience with many different dogs of any size, breed or temperament. I did a lot of Puppy training when I was a doggy daycare attend. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life which I am very lucky for. I have always wanted to work with animals which is what I am doing. I love my job and animals have a very special place in my heart I am currently a Full Time Veterinary Technician at an animal hospital up in King of Prussia. I schedule my pet sitting letting the owners know what my work schedule is for that week. I let the owners know that there pet will get potty breaks throughout the day. I am very attentive when I am staying at a clients house. I follow their instructions make sure their dog or cat gets a lot of attention weather that is extra walks while I am there or throwing a ball in the yard. For cats I will brush them if needed or play with them if the cats are active.
“Grace was a reliable and great cat sitter! She was flexible with some last minute plans and accommodating with my schedule. She took good care of my cat while I was away. I would recommend her!”
About: *** In MOST cases, I NEED to bring my dog with me for overnight stays. Please take that into consideration BEFORE you reach out to me. If you just need day time care I can be a bit more flexible on the above. Thank you for understanding. *** :) I love animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. Your animals will be well cared for when I watch them. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own- an almost 3 year old German Shepherd-who would have to come with me while I sit for you. I know our pups will have tons of fun playing together! My goal is to try and treat your pets like my own. I will make pets feel cared for and loved, even when their owners are not there. I work 6-4, Monday-Thursday. Monday is a work from home day and the rest of the week I’m in the office. (some flexibility on this, as I could stay home to work while dog sitting) I’d be happy to watch dogs during this time, but they will be long days if I can’t stay home. Because of this, the weekends are the best times for me to take care of pets, but I’d be happy to watch pets during the week if needed. I want to be there for your dogs needs. I’d be happy to accommodate any way I can. I make sure pups have adequate daily exercise, anything from parks, walks around the neighborhood, running in the backyard or playtime in general. I want you dogs to feel comfortable and safe in my care
About: Ever since I was a little girl I had dogs in my life! I grew up with two little west highland white terriers who were the most energetic loving dogs I could ask for as a kid. Later we welcomed our golden-doodle into our family who has protected us and made us laugh everyday! He’s now 10 years old! For about six years dog sat for a neighbor who had a boxer and English bulldog. I dog walked and house sat for three summers for a goldendoodle and for three years dog sat for lab/mutt mix, two pugs and a cat. I also take care of my sisters two Rhodesian ridgebacks one who is 6 years old and one 5 month old as well as my other sisters golden retriever who is 5 months old. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I remember and every day they show me what it’s like to be loved. I am taking some time off before starting Physician Assistant school, so I have a good amount of time throughout the week to take care of your pets! I am very in tune with my dogs needs at home and love just spending time with whether it’s relaxing in the couch, going for walks or sitting in the grass. I understand some dogs may need to be crated or if there is no fenced in yard, they need to be leashed when outside. I can accommodate any need for your pets in your home!
“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: With four years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care. My hands-on work has taught me to handle a variety of breeds and temperaments, managing everything from feeding and medication to special routines. My own rescue dog has added a personal layer to my professional skills. It's taught me the empathy and patience needed to build trust, proving that my approach is rooted in genuine love and a true commitment to a dog's well-being. Caring for my own rescue dog has naturally woven pet care into the very fabric of my daily and weekly routine. It's not a chore; it's a structured part of my day that brings consistency to my life, and most importantly, to his. Daily Routine: Morning: The day starts with a walk and a feeding. This isn't just about meeting his basic needs; it's our time to bond, to get some fresh air, and to start the day with a positive routine. Throughout the day: Even when I'm working, I make sure to have dedicated breaks for play and mental stimulation. This could be a quick game of fetch, a puzzle feeder, or a brief training session to reinforce good behavior. These short bursts of attention prevent boredom and keep him happy. Evening: The day winds down with another walk, dinner, and some quiet time. This is often our cuddle time, where he gets a chance to relax and feel secure, which is especially important for a rescue. When a pet stays with me, they become a temporary member of my family. My focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that minimizes the stress of being away from home. A "Home Away from Home": I provide a structured but loving environment, mirroring a typical household. My home is completely pet-proofed, with a secure backyard for safe play and potty breaks. Consistency is Key: I work with the owner to maintain the pet's regular schedule for feeding, medication, and sleep. I have a dedicated space for each dog's belongings (food, toys, bed) to help them feel at ease.

Samantha did an in-home sitting and also a drop-in this week and did amazing! My anxious pup took to her well and seemed to have a bunch of fun! He was tired tonight when I got home haha! She was very communicative, detailed, and went the extra mile cleaning up without being asked or expected to. Sent lots of pics. Felt very comfortable with her and will use her again.
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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pottstown is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pottstown. 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.
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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
