“Julie was absolutely amazing with my kitties, and it was such a relief to know that they were in great hands while I was away! I loved getting the photos and thoughtful updates she provided, and my cats loved her! I would give her 10 stars out of 5 if I could!”
“Can't thank Elizabeth enough! We needed a drop in visit last minute. Elizabeth responded quickly and came over for a meet and greet within an hour. Elizabeth quickly bonded with Luna our 1 year old pitbull mix. We received updates and pictures during her visit. We will definitely be using Elizabeth in the future.”
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.
“We are glad we found Tristan, he is very nice, but most importantly he is very good with our pups, he made them feel very comfortable from the day we did our meet and greet, i knew right away i wont have to worry about our pups while we were away, Tristan took very good care of our pups and we would definitely use him again.”
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.
About: When I was younger I used to take care of my neighbors dogs, house sit for them and walk their dogs. I've also raised other animals, like ducks, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. People have always called me the animal whisperer, i've rescued animals and returned them back to wildlife lots of times in my life, and i just think animals (ALL PETS) bring me so much joy and peace , I would do anything for just about any animal that lives, to make their life as fulfilled and loved as i can. My duties for caring for any animal would be properly maintaining their feeding and walking schedules. Bathe and brush(if necessary), playtimes as well as training procedures (if applicable) Pet sitting/House sitting. Your pets will be in great hands! Hello, my availability is posted in my calendar, please check to see if the dates you need a sitter are available in my schedule. If so I will be more than happy to watch after your animals! Thank you! I like to maintain schedule, dietary restrictions, exercise, walking and feeding schedules. Any maintenance that comes along with watching after your pets. You let me know what you need, and I can do it.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. My mom just to call me Elmira. I’d bring all the animals home. I work from home have a flexible schedule. I work from home so I have alot of time to devote to your animals. They will have plenty of exercise and cuddles between me and my children. I have a fenced in patio, plenty of walking areas for them to run around the neighborhood. My kids and I to love them. I have a extra room if they need certain restrictions or crates. They will have run if the house.
“Paige was amazing with my dog! Arrived on time and went above and beyond giving her fresh water and making sure she was loved! Would 100% recommend to anyone needing care for their pets!”
About: Not only do I have experience working in a doggy daycare facility at one point but I was blessed enough to have a mother who had her own boarding and daycare business in our home for my teenage into my adult years. Not only did I get to watch and learn how she did things in our own home but I got to work for her and get paid learning more and more as the years went on. Had our own animals growing up and I've had my experience with all kinds of animals from dogs to cats and rabbits. I treat everybody's animal as if they were my own and love to spend every minute I can with any animal I can. I have over 20 years of experience and all the love that you could imagine for your child to give. I am currently working via doordash and would prefer to be walking dogs instead. So as of right now I am only delivering to people until I can start scheduling pet sitting hours. That leaves my schedule wide open from the time my son leaves to school at 9:00 a.m. until I have to be back for him to get off the bus at 3:00 p.m. I would come to your house so you can introduce me to yourself and your dog. I would need to know if your dog needs any medicine or food or fresh bowl of water along with where the leash and collar would be to walk your dog. If your dog has a special routine that you guys walk everyday I would love to know that so that your dog is going the same way they are used to. If you have a fenced in yard I can just let your dog out and we can play ball or fetch or we can just snuggle and cuddle and get lovings before it is time for me to leave.
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 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 grew up with German Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs. I currently have a small Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for a relaxing walk, an energetic run, or simply giving them plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your dog like one of my own! I work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the week, I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-ins, and care. On weekends, I’m available throughout the entire day and can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where every dog can feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs, and I always follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medication, and routines. I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care.
About: Hello! My name is Annie! It’s very nice to meet you! I am 26 years old and I graduated high school in 2018. I have been volunteering at a local dog rescue, To Love a Canine for about 7 years now as a dog handler!! I love working with animals! I have had dogs all my life actually! I currently don’t have any pets of my own, but I previously owned a black lab/ border collie mix named Abigail, although she passed in 2012 because of old age and unfortunately cancer. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope to hear from you soon! :) I currently volunteer as a crisis counselor with Crisis Text Line and I don’t have scheduled ‘shifts’ , (I do it when I can)! So, that being said, I am almost always available to dog sit or take your puppet on a nice long walk!! I always make sure your pet(s) are comfortable around/ with me first. I provide different services, such as walking your dog and doing drop-ins and sittings (days and/ or overnights)
“Emma was great with Nemo and Aria! I’m always a little nervous leaving them, but she made it easy and stress free. She kept me posted the whole time and took excellent care of them both. I want to also call out how she was very accommodating with the short notice.”
About: As a kid growing up, I had my own “business” around the neighborhood where I would care for pets in their homes. Later I worked as a veterinary tech, and feel comfortable administering needed medications or providing bathing/nail clipping services. Other than kids, animals have always been a passion of mine. I currently am a stay at home mom to 3 year old twins. I will always make your beloved pets a priority and schedule into my day as needed. I prefer to keep pets in their home, this can be a safe space for them since they feel more comfortable there versus a new home with completely new people. I can stay there with the pets, and treat them as my own. Each has their own quirks and personalities, but catering to those needs is essential. I’ve watched a variety of animals from pigs to ferrets, bearded dragons and fish, and more! Ideally searching for a consistent dog that needs walking that is good with children. One of my twins is in early intervention school and the other is with me almost all of the time. Husband will be home in evenings for overnight needs. Stay at home mom to 3 year old twins, so quick drop ins during the day and boarding in the evening would be no problem. Would love to find a consistent dog to walk during the day while one of my kids is in early intervention preschool! I’ve worked in boarding and understand the importance of giving animals what they need. They all have quirks that we love about our own pets and require lots of love especially when their humans are away.
About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
