“Samantha did an excellent job with my three dogs. They are all 65 lbs, two require pills and the third is a very strong minded (and bodied) dog. She treated them with love and respect. I appreciate how diligent she was with my dogs and how she did not rush in and out. Thank you!!!”

About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.

“Skye did an amazing job with our 6 cats. She went ahove and beyond what was asked of her. We received an update with pictures after each visit. Skye spent time giving snuggles to our only girl in the bunch and lickable treats to the couple of boys who enjoy them even though we didn’t ask it of her. Skye truly loves cat’s and it showed in her treating ours like they were her own cats. We will definitely use Skye again for our pet sitting needs…couldn’t have gotten anyone better!”

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.

About: Animals are too good for humankind, so they should be treated like absolute royalty. I grew up with cats and had a small but successful dog-walking and pet-sitting business in my neighborhood growing up. I am more than happy to treat your pet as if they were my own <3 I currently work full time in Lake George and I'm looking for some additional income, and what better way to do that than to care for your pets! To make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are away, I would love to learn their typical routine at home and their interests!

We are currently offering pet sitting services full time with a few exceptions here and there. We are very flexible and ready to care for your pets any time. We understand that every pet is unique and we strive to make every experience personalized.

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.

About: I have a happy and friendly bulldog of my own. He is treated like he is part of the family which he is. I'll treat your pet as if they were part of my family too. I myself like to run but since i have a bulldog I don't have a buddy that will go on runs with me so i'd gladly take the pups on runs. I spend most of the day at home so for doggy daycare I will be with your dog a lot of the time. I am a huge dog lover and it’s always been a dream of mine to get to work with dogs. Don’t worry your fluffy family members will be in good hands! I can't wait to meet all my new furry friends!

“Tim is an absolute delight. Flexible and easy to work with. I was impressed at the meet and greet that he was completely unfazed when my little dogs were snarly and scared. He was so good with them and they both warmed up to him quickly. Having had other bad sitter experiences, I felt so at ease during my trip knowing that we had someone reliable giving our two dogs and two cats lots of love and attention. Can’t recommend him enough. He’ll take great care of your babies.”

About: I have nearly two years of professional experience working as a kennel assistant at two different animal care facilities, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, monitoring animal health, and confidently handling pets with a wide range of behaviors, including anxious, reactive, and energetic animals. I have also volunteered with cat rescue organizations, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption into loving homes. As a pet owner myself, I care for one dog, four cats, and a lizard, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, responsibility, and compassion that every pet deserves. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. In a few weeks, I will be starting college to become a veterinary technician. Once classes begin, I will be available after class Monday through Thursday and will have open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I will do my best to be flexible and work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love and attention, ensure a safe environment, and treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care.

About: Hi there, I’m Angelina! I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for pets both at home and through my past work at a pet store, and I now work as an Animal Care Technician professionally. I’m used to working with many animals at once and take pride in my ability to recognize changes in behavior or injuries. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, their quirks, and how they respond best to care. I can administer medications/topicals, handle puppies, kittens, seniors, or anxious pets, follow any specific care needs or funny rituals your pet may be used to, and am quick to react in case of an emergency. I’ve handled all sorts of pets (small animals, birds, dogs, and cats) as well, so if you have any other animals that you’d like watched as well, I’m your girl! More specifically, I’ve worked with high energy, demanding dog breeds like Border Collies and Blue Heelers, to guarding breeds like Rottweilers, Akitas, and Cane Corsos, and more docile breeds like Newfoundlands, Basset Hounds, and Great Danes just to name a few! I’m big on communication, so you will always get updates on how your pet is doing and cute photos to go along with them. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your babies! I work full-time from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM, so I’m available any time after 4! I’m always open to stopping by after work and overnight if needed. I’ll make sure your pet maintains their normal routine and feels as comfortable as possible, almost as though you never left! If staying overnight, your home will be well-taken care of as well. I don’t mind doing a meet-and-greet so I can get idea of what to expect from both you and your pet.

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.

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.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pottstown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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 5,295 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pottstown. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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 .

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. 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.
