About: I grew up with a dog and cared for her for 12 years, from puppyhood through her senior years, so I know dogs well. I have also looked after many of my neighbors’ dogs, big and small, one at a time or several together. I’m experienced with all kinds of behaviors, including anxiety, pulling on the leash, high energy, and stubbornness. I stay calm and patient, and I treat every dog like my own. During the week, I’m available before 8am for morning walks and feedings, and again from 6pm on for evenings and overnights. I work a standard day job until 5, so midday weekday availability is limited. On weekends, I’m free all day on both Saturday and Sunday, so I can handle full-day sitting, multiple visits, or longer walks. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and keep their usual routine. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any house rules, and I’m careful about safety: doors and gates stay closed, dogs stay leashed outside, and I never leave a pet unsupervised in a risky situation. I keep a key secure and respect the owner’s home and privacy. I send photo updates throughout the stay so owners know how their pet is doing, and I’m reachable if anything comes up. If a pet seems unwell, I contact the owner right away.
“faith has taken care of my two cats a few times now and always does an exceptional job, going above and beyond to make sure not only their needs are met but that they feel truly cared for.”
“Ben was amazing! I found out a few days before he was set to come that one of my cats would require some medical care I was gone - he was happy to help make a cat feel better and provided constant updates about how he was doing. Ben did a great job taking care of my kittens and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: Hi! I am a cat mom to one young cat, and have been volunteering at various cat shelters for almost a year. I love all cats: big or small, old or young, friendly or shy. I can’t wait to meet your feline friends! I work full time, typically M-F from 8-5. My weekends and evenings are always available (unless noted in my calendar) to care for your kitties. I offer cat drop ins and house sitting. I am experienced in cat body language and caring for more anxious/shy cats. I will be happy to provide updates and follow any instructions given.
“Lesley is wonderful and our pup couldnt be happier! Lesley genuinely cares and we couldn’t feel more comfortable having her check in on our dog and take care.”
“Michael did an excellent job taking care of my cat Biscuit!! He had great communication throughout, fun photos, and she seemed content when I returned from my trip. Would recommend!!”
About: I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs of all sizes and personalities! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, giving me a lifetime of experience caring for them. I also have 5 years of experience volunteering at Lucky Dog Refuge, an animal shelter, where I regularly walked and cared for dogs, including many who were highly reactive. This experience helped me become very comfortable reading body language, understanding their individual needs, and adjusting how I care for them based on their comfort and energy level. I also spend a lot of time walking around West Philly and Center City, and live right by the Schuylkill River Trail, which is a great area for safe long walks. I’m currently offering an introductory rate for new clients as I’m getting started on Rover, while bringing years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and provide them with the same patience, attention, and care I have given my own! I’m a college student, so my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to work around you and your dog’s needs! I’m available for both dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, with the most flexibility on weekends. Hours Available: Monday: 1–2:30 PM Tuesday: 2–5 PM Wednesday: 1–2:30 PM Thursday: 2–5 PM Friday: 1–5 PM Saturday: All day Sunday: All day For walks, I’ll always keep your dog securely leashed and be mindful of their surroundings, energy level, and body language. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including reactive dogs from my shelter volunteer experience. During drop in visits, I’ll make sure your dog has everything they need, including fresh water, food, bathroom breaks, exercise, and tons of attention. I’ll also be respectful of your home and make sure doors and gates are securely closed before leaving. I’m happy to send updates and pics during visits so you know how your dog is doing!
About: i have loved animals for as long as i can remember! i currently have a wonderful cat of my own; her name is poppy & she is 2 years old. i will treat your pet with the care & love i give poppy every day! i also volunteer at morris animal refuge, so i have tons of recent animal experience (this includes taking care of senior pets, sick pets, & administering medication). my dream is to one day open a cat sanctuary, where i can give abandoned and stray cats the love they all deserve. i’m currently working remote & part-time, so my schedule is completely flexible! whenever you need me, i can be there. no request is too last-minute☺️ i will ensure that your pet is looked after with lots of care & safety! i can follow any special instructions you provide, and make sure your baby is safe & secure under my watch.
“Wes is such a conscientious and caring petsitter! 🐾 He loves animals and pays close attention to their individual needs. It gives me peace of mind to leave my cat in his care.”
About: I have some foster cat experience with both social & non-social cats. I have done all kinds of pet sitting since high school and my family has had 2 dogs of our own. I live in a quiet single home with no other pets or people! I work a full time job 9-5 with remote Fridays. If near by, I can leave during lunch for mid day stop ins or walks. If it is needed, every now and then I am able to request to work other days from home as well! If your pet is in my home, I do have a very small apartment but they'd get the whole thing to themselves (besides me of course)! If they are high energy I would love to take them out on lots of walks and trips to nearby parks! If I need to come to your home I will be sure to be respectful of your space and care for and adapt to whatever needs your pet has while you are away.
“Steven is great! Took the time to check in on our kitty over the holiday. He was communicative and very responsive. Our kitty is on the more timid side and even when she was a little spooked he tried to get her to come out of her shell and play. Highly recommend!”

Faith is an excellent cat sitter & we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. From the photos & her updates I could see my cats felt comfortable with her and that she was taking great care of them! She followed our instructions & visited with them during the scheduled times.
Sally has been checking in on our cat many times now, and we always have peace of mind with Sally’s visits. She takes care of all the essentials and specific asks, is very reliable, and always sends pics of snuggles & playtime with our very social cat. Would definitely recommend Sally!
I was so grateful to have found Natalie! She checked in on my two cats twice a day over a long weekend, and she provided such peace of mind while I was away! She’s very kind and attentive and was sure to send lots of updates with each visit. 10/10 and would highly recommend as a sitter :) Thanks Natalie!!!
Ali is always so great with my cats. It’s such a relief knowing I can depend on her when I go out of town. She is so caring and diligent in making sure my skittish cats get lots of attention and affection. She even brought over some cat treats after mine ran out while I was away. Thanks Ali

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rittenhouse is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
