“Caleb did an awesome job house-sitting for us. He took great care of our old puppy making sure he was comfortable and happy while we were away for a week. He also took good care of the house like taking the trash out without being asked, taking some misdelivered packages over to the neighbors, and keeping the house clean and in good shape. Next time we need a house-sitter we will definitely reach out to Caleb and hope that he is available.”
About: With 10 years of experience in the veterinary medicine industry and over 3 years of professional pet-sitting experience, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. My love for animals didn’t stop when I stepped away from the veterinary hospital setting. I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to continue doing what I love—providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care for pets while their families are away. My veterinary background has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, routines, and medical considerations. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, medication support, or simply someone trustworthy to keep their routine consistent, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. 🐶 Dogs & Cats 🐱 10 Years of Veterinary Medicine Experience 🐾 3+ Years of Pet-Sitting Experience 💻 Flexible Schedule / Work Remotely 💊 Comfortable With Medications & Special Care Needs ❤️ Reliable, Experienced & Animal-Loving I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I currently work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows pet care to fit naturally into my daily routine. I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I am home for much of the day, pets in my care are not routinely left alone for long periods of time. With 10 years of experience working in veterinary medicine and over 3 years of pet-sitting experience, caring for animals has been a major part of both my professional and personal life. Pet sitting allows me to continue working with and caring for animals outside of the veterinary hospital setting. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. My veterinary medicine background has given me extensive experience recognizing changes in an animal's behavior, appetite, mobility, comfort, and overall well-being. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, caring for pets with special needs, and maintaining established routines. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's environment and the owner's home. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, household rules, and any other preferences provided by the owner. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to allow pets to become comfortable with me rather than forcing interactions. I also believe communication is an important part of building trust with pet owners. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you're away.
“Everything went perfect with Billie watching over the house and Canella. She is a lovely individual and is willing to do whatever is needed. I could tell that Canella was calmer when I got back than the last time I went out of town. That shows that she was really comfortable with Billie. I will definitely call on her again next time I need to travel.”
“Sara took great care of our many pets while we were on vacation. I love that she works from home so my puppy had someone home most of the time. She was also great about taking my puppy for puppy play dates next door and playing with him in the back yard so I didn't have to pay for walks. House was in great shape and clean when I got home. You can trust Sara with your pets she is great. Will hire again :)”
“Fiona was excellent! She was very communicative throughout her visits and kept me updated with photos and messages. Several of our animals are shy rescues, but they quickly warmed up to her, which says a lot about how kind and patient she is. It was clear they loved her, and we’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was in high school! I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I'm comfortable with everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding routines and administering medications. I'm a cat mom myself, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you're away. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality, whether they're full of energy and ready for an adventure or just want someone to cuddle with on the couch. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I work full-time in marketing with a fully remote schedule, which allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love getting outside for walks and staying active, so having a furry companion along is always a bonus! I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend care, with flexibility throughout the workweek depending on your pet's needs. I'm happy to coordinate schedules to make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else's care! I always do my best to stick to their normal routines, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, medications, or their favorite bedtime spot. When staying in someone's home, I'm respectful of their space and make sure to leave everything just as I found it. I'm also big on communication and love sending pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Above all, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away!
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life growing up and now that they’ve moved I want to help other dogs play and enjoy their lives. I take my friends dog on runs and I’m looking to make extra money having fun with furry friends. I currently work full-time but I’m off at 5. I have an open schedule usually after work to take care of your pets. I also do not work weekends, so I’m available then. As I do offer pets in my home and while in a clients home I will always be watching them and teaching new tricks if that is allowed. While the pet is outside I will always have my eyes on them and inside as well.
“Brittany was so wonderful to our pups! She did an amazing job following our instructions and communicating with both me and my husband. I will have her back in a heartbeat if we need another sitter! She works from home so she was able to be with our pups consistently which is super important for me. Thank you Brittany!!”
About: I have had animals all my life, and started dog sitting for others I was 16. I love to build genuine relationships with your pets and care for your home as needed while you are away. I’m currently a full-time college student, but I’m only on campus two days a week, leaving me with a very open and flexible schedule. I’m excited to spend that extra time caring for your pets and giving them all the love and attention they need! I can easily crate the dog, take them on walks, feed them, let them out, give them medicine, and would just need instruction if your pet require any extra care.
“Easiest 5 stars for Mary Sue!!! Our girl got sooo many fun adventures this past week, we received at least 1 update every day and pics to go along, and we were so happy to see how much love she was getting while we were away! Mary Sue also took great care of our place and left us a clean home to come back to after our trip. We would be thrilled to have her back anytime, as would our Bumi !! <3”
“Rachel was amazing! She stayed at the house and took care of our two dogs - the boys were well cared for and clearly had a good time. She kept the house clean and tidy and was great at communicating. We would definitely have her come back and stay!”
About: I have always been the pet sitter and walker in my family and neighborhood since I was 8. My family and friends call me the dog whisperer. I have had a love for animals my whole life. I am working about 20 hours a week at my job during the winter and 30-40 during the summer . I work no more than 8 hour shifts. I have a fenced in back yard with 3 furry friends . My dogs don’t use kennels but I can kennel your dog if required. My pets get walked daily and lots of play and cuddle time.
“Kalea did a great job, it was our first time leaving the animals with a pet sitter and Kalea was very patient and understanding with our nervousness. She made our animals top priority during Christmas and did a great job checking in on them and sending us status updates. Look forward to booking again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roxborough Park
This was another wonderful experience booking Polly and Jeremy. They consistently provide truly exceptional care, and we feel completely at ease whenever our dog is in their hands. As usual, they were fantastic, but we especially appreciate how incredibly attentive they are to our senior dog. Managing his regimen of several daily medications can be challenging, but Polly and Jeremy handle it with professional competence and a level of dedication that is truly comforting. It’s rare to find sitters who are so reliable and genuinely caring, and we highly recommend them.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Roxborough Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Roxborough Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Roxborough Park 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.

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.
