“What a lovely experience. From our initial meeting that gave us confidence, to the great communication throughout, we had peace of mind that our guy was being well cared for. The photographs and updates were so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clare.”

“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of multiple family members and friends. I love to walk dogs and spend time with them as well! I live across from a park, so walks are very nice and long. I have a flexible summer internship where I am looking for hours during the day to walk/look after dogs and other animals. My availability depends on the day. I am looking for multiple times in the day to either let a pet out or take them for a walk. I have a yard without fences where a dog can run around. I have plenty of room in my house for an animal to walk/play around. I am able to supply food and water for pets in my home.
About: I grew up with animals my entire life from large Newfoundland dogs to cats to bunnies and a hamster. I currently have my own black cat, Edgar, who is the best little guy! I can take care of your pets to best accommodate them! I’m currently a teacher on summer break, so I am here for weekday, day time, afternoon, and evening needs to best accommodate your and your fur babies’ schedules! Edgar loves to play, so I always make sure his automatic cat toy is charged and ready for him throughout the day when I am at work. Once I get home, we play with his favorite string feather toy. I can certainly help keep your pets comfortable and happy!

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!

“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!”

About: I'm an avid animal lover and have cared for pets most of my life. My German Shepard pup (17 months) is my best friend. We hike, walk, socialize at the dog park, swim, play and pretty much doing everything together. I've done dog walking, overnight pet sitting and drop in visits for the last 7 or so years. I can provide references and would love to get to know your fur babies. I currently work full time in the Collegeville area. When I'm not working I'm with my pup enjoying as much of the outdoors as possible. My availability is a bit limited currently to nights and weekends. I enjoy playing outside and can find fun things to do inside. Some animals prefer being inside. I will take the time to get to know your pet and care for them as if they were my own. I'm happy to change or clean litter, puppy pads and clean up accidents that sometimes happen. I will follow directions for food, treats and medicine needed as well. Every animal has different needs and I'd be happy to get to know yours.

Susan submits daily updates and photos providing the pet owner with reassurance that their pet is doing well. We're so appreciate of Susan.”

About: I have always had pets since a little girl. Grew up with our family dog shadow, and now I have one for my own. I love pets. They make the world a better place I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time for some paw patrol. I don’t mind sitting a Saturday if it’s requested with enough time. I have a big yard for plenty of play time. I also have my own pet that can accompany yours while they are with me. I can also crate your pet.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have dog sat for neighbors, friends, family members, and more. I have never met a dog that didn't like me. I'm sure your precious pup or kitt will be the same. I am currently a college student. I am free during breaks throughout the school year and the summer! I can slide myself into your furry friend's routine and your vacation plans. Just give me the details. I love to take dogs for walks, play with them and spend time loving them. I will follow their routine because I know how much they will miss you and will keep things as normal for them as possible.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals, I'm well-prepared to look after your beloved pet. As a current owner of two dogs(cockapoo and pitbull), five cats, and two guinea pigs, I'm comfortable with senior pets, administering medications (even to picky eaters!), and doing whatever it takes to ensure your peace of mind while you're away. I currently work a full time job with a block schedule so I know my availability ahead of time. Even on the days I work I am willing to stop by before and/or after work. I am great with late nights as my shifts end at 3AM I am respectful entering my clients home and willing to follow any instructions provided to me. If I am ever unsure about anything I will contact my client to ensure I’m giving their pets proper care.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life, from chickens, hamsters to cats, dogs, and even horses. I’ve helped care for cats and dogs for family and friends in the past, providing feeding, playtime, companionship, and general care. I genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m very patient and understanding, which I think is super important when it comes to pet care (and earning their trust!). I am a college student but I usually only have two classes in the morning, which leaves me free the rest of the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I have a fenced backyard and a super friendly, medium-sized dog, along with a cat who spends most of her day exploring outside. If your pet needs privacy or separate space, I totally understand and have room to accommodate that.

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.
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 Reading 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Reading with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
