“This was our first time using Rover and meeting/hiring Susan. We feel like we have known Susan longer than two individual times. Took great care of our two dogs, followed all instructions, gave us a report card for every visit, and included many photos each day. So happy we found a gem like Susan. Thank you so very much!”
“Emma was able to look after my cats on short notice after my usual pet sitter had to cancel. And my cats loved her! I could tell by each of her pictures that they were happy and relaxed which made me happy and relaxed. She kept in touch and I was confident everything would be great when I got home. I highly recommend Emma!”
“Maureen was amazing with our dogs! She was highly communicative and sent us so many pictures of her feeding them treats and taking them on a walk which we REALLY appreciated. Our dogs seemed very happy when we came back home.”
“Crystal is great! She has taken such great care of Roscoe. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a diligent, responsible, and caring person to watch their pets.”
“Lauren accommodated a last minute booking for us! We have two cats, one of which can be a bit particular and both need to take pills which Lauren made sure they got. I had also found a kitten right before our last minute trip and Lauren also kept her quarantined and make sure she got her medicine as well. Thanks so much for taking great care of everyone!”
“Cecelia watched our dog & cat recently while on vacation. She took great care of them & was also so good with communication. She really cares. I highly recommend her & will hire her again!!”
“Megan stopped in to visit my cats during the holidays. We’ve used Megan as a sitter/dog walker for the past year and she has been fantastic. She’s very communicative and reliable whenever we need her! So lucky to have found her!”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I look forward to caring for your pet and treating them like my own! I’m working part time at the moment and have flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet on a schedule that works for you! I make sure to keep the dog’s schedule as typical as possible and I listen to any instructions that the owner may have for me.
“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”
“Allison is the best! She is a great communicator - she responds quickly and clearly. She sends lots of pictures and follows directions perfectly. She took such good care of our pups and they loved her! We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Allison!”
“Gabby did GREAT handling my two big babies! They loved her and I had no issues. I will for sure be rebooking Gabby when I need help in the future. Thanks again!”
“Every time I have Meranda watch my kitties she sends so many pictures which I love so much! She’s so careful and her attention to detail and updates are so appreciated when I’m away from my girls.”
“Ashley was super responsive and was great taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond on her duties and we were very happy with her services. Will contact her again in the future and recommend her work.”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”
“Piper loved having Sarah check in on her and feed her at lunch time! I appreciated all the updates Sarah provided me during her check in and will definitely be booking her again.”
“Elizabeth did a great job dropping in on our gaggle of kitties (mama and babies fosters added some chaos!) While we were out of town. I appreciated her being agreeable to a quick meet and greet beforehand since our logistics were a little complex and too much to type out ? She followed instructions well and kindly brought in a couple packages we received. I recommend her for sure!”

Charlotte was on time and professional, taking care of my golden retriever Honey like she was her own! She took her out to go potty, played with her tennis ball and gave her lots of love and attention. Honey was very happy and I would definitely recommend Charlotte to watch your furry friend.
Mia was absolutely amazing with my cockapoo, Ginger! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!
Maggie is a lovely person! She obviously loves cats and was very sweet to my kitty. She also came over for a meet and greet before I went out of town where we could work through some of the kinks to get into my apartment, send videos when she got there, and let me know everything went okay. I would very much recommend her for any catsitting!
I’m really glad Anissa was available to watch my cats the following week. Doing two back-to-back trips was stressful, but I knew I was in good hands. We were able to work out some minor kinks in their care, and it made for a smoother visiting time! She was so good with Azula, and I got plenty of pictures (pictures of Mitski were occasionally included, as long as she was behind the washing machine). :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Reading on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,424 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Reading. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Reading stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Reading. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
