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.

“Excellent care and very professional. Sofia was wonderful, our very timid cat even came out for her on the first visit. She is excellent at administering injections. Will use again.”

About: I love all pets! I have taken care of anything from a 130 pound dog to a crested gecko and tarantula, any pet you have I would love to meet. I know leaving home is hard and I understand how important pets are. Your pets are family, so my job is to keep them in the same safe and loving environment that you give them each day. I have been around animals since I was a kid so I am experienced with administering medication through injections, pills, and topical creams. I have also cared for pets with special needs and dogs who experience seizures, so I have the knowledge to handle those types of situations too. I will be taking 2 in person college courses (one each weekday) starting in the fall 2026, so I have the time to be with your pet(s). I’m comfortable working weekends and weekdays so that they always have a friend like me around. I like to keep an honest schedule here on Rover so if a last minute thing needs your attention my availability is up to date! First and foremost I want to keep your pets comfortable in their own home. I believe it is super important to let all animals get to know me at their own pace because their comfort comes first. For me to make your transition home as easy as possible, I like to maintain the same routine for them that you set up. And last but certainly not least I understand that this is your home along your pet(s), I uphold the respect and privacy that should always been seen when being in someone else's space.
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
“Maggie was wonderful with our dog and so great to work with! Will definitely be using her again. Great communication, sent pictures during her visit and our dog seemed happy! Highly recommend!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who are treated like royalty. I watch my neighbors pets, dogs, cats, bearded dragon, when they are out of town. I volunteer with a dog rescue when I can, Rylie’s Rescue, transporting, and foster care. I absolutely love all animals! I work part time, 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, from 11-6pm. All other days I’m completely available. I could always stop in before and after work. I prefer to watch in your home, I have 3 dogs, our Toy Australian Shepherd, has had to have surgery on 3 legs, so I rather keep him calm and not bring too much excitement to our home.
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.
“For never having a person drop in to take care of our dogs before I was very nervous, but Cristine was wonderful. She set up a meet and greet before hand and the day before she confirmed that she was coming. Throughout her two visits she sent adorable pictures and gave an update on the dogs. We are very happy with her and will be using her in the future.”

“Ashley was incredible ! So kind and friendly, took her time with our nervous pup and really got to know both dogs. After the initial visit she became a pro and our dogs are in love ! Highly recommend ! I”

“Stephen is kind, prompt and really seemed to care about my aging dog Max. He had to give him an injection and several medication’s each visit. As long as you give him good instructions he’ll follow them to the “T”. Highly recommended.”

About: Hello! Aside from growing up around dogs all my life, (a pug and rotties!) I also worked at two animal hospitals as a kennel attendant. Kennel attendants are responsible for taking care of your dogs & cats while you're away! Working in an animal hospital also helped me recognize behaviors that dogs/cats show when they are sick or injured, which helped me be prepared to know when to seek medical assistance. I am also experienced with all personalities of dogs/cats: the anxious, playful, silly, aggressive and pets with attachment anxiety! I am confident with my experience working in hospitals and also hanging around dogs and cats daily that your pets will be safe and happy with me. I treat them as if they are my own! I do work part-time, but my schedule is flexible! Currently, I am off Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. As I gain more clients I would like to have less hours at my current job and be able to pick up more hours pet-sitting! I understand that routine is super important for most animals, (feeding times, going potty, playtime and bedtime) so I always try to keep consistent with what they are used to.

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and have grown up caring for my own pets and friends/familys’ pets. I have confident handling experience with all animals ranging from chickens, goats, cats, dogs, and horses. I also have experience training dogs under my mentor Jaime who owns Compass K9 Academy in Lehigh Valley and has taught me everything I know. I am comfortable with any dog ranging from dachshunds (I grew up with 3 of them!) all way to working line Shepherds. Caring for animals and working with dogs is truly my passion and that passion is shown in the way I care for the animals in my care. I’m passionate about giving dogs the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I choose to dedicate my weekends to dogs. Whether it’s attending sport dog trials, playing and hiking with my own dog… it’s in my nature to arrange my free time around the needs of my dog and client dogs! I have a clean, 2 bedroom apartment (heat/AC) but primarily when I have a dog for daycare/boarding the fun is all outside. Your dog will join me (and my dog if yours is okay with it) to local parks and trails dependent on the dogs’ abilities and preferences. We will spend time sniffing at the local field and get lots of belly rubs and cuddles when play time is over! **Due to me having my own dog and needing to keep the environment controlled and safe with new incoming dogs, your dog MUST be able to sleep in a crate in my spare room which has its own AC unit/baseboard heater and quiet space.** I recommend sending your fur baby along with their own bed & favorite toy to remind them of you when you’re away!
About: I have taken care of and lived with dogs since I was 10 years old. I truly love animals and will treat your pets like my own. I am happy to walk your fur babies, pet sit, or simply stop in to check in and give them some cuddles or a few treats. I look forward to meeting your beloved fur babies! Available for boarding/pet sitting on most weekends & can stop in and/or take your dog for a walk during the work day on various week days as I work remote. I have a fenced in, large yard and lots of room to play and explore. I live in a wonderful neighborhood close to parks & trails for walks.
About: I've always cared for animals, and I'm willing to go above and beyond for animals who need help. Owners need help as much as their animals do! I'm currently out of work, so willing to do anything for animals to make ends meet. If I can help every animal and owner, I will. Inside other's homes I will do everything in my power to keep it as it was when I first enter. There is nothing to deter me from maintaining proper care.
About: 16 years of loving pet care | 5-star, personalized & reliable Me and my husband (Vikas) treat every pet like family—with love, patience, and personalized attention. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, managing the special needs of senior pets, or following specific feeding and medication routines, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care. I also have experience with crate training, leash manners, and anxiety-prone pets. You can count on me to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. Me and my husband (Vikas) currently work part-time from home, which gives us the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles, We can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. Our schedule allows us to be present and responsive to your pet’s needs—morning, afternoon, and evening. In our home, pets enjoy a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. We follow their usual routines and never crate dogs unless it’s part of their training or requested by the owner.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pottstown
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pottstown is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 5,174 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 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.
To find sitters in Pottstown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
