“Faith was great. She took good care of our Westie, Piper, while we were away for the weekend. She sent updates and photos, asked good questions when I hadn’t provided clear information, and left our house clean and in good order. She was also very sweet and pleasant and seemed genuinely happy to be taking care of Piper”
“This is the 2nd time Joanna has stayed with our dog for over a week while on vacation! She loves on and takes care of our dog like she were her own! I highly recommend entrusting your pets to Joanna- she is a gem and we love her! <3”
“Amy was an amazing sitter! I felt completely at ease having her in my home with my dogs, who absolutely adored her. She kept me updated throughout their stay, sent lots of pictures, and even handled a tornado warning, making sure the dogs were safe and secure. I would highly recommend her and would happily have her sit again in the future!”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 15 year old golden doodle and 10 year old cat, including giving our dog medications on schedule. She is very attentive to their needs and gave us lots of updates during our trip.”
“Nico is the absolute best! Our plans changed last minute and he was so understanding. Our pups have the best time when Nico is here and he gives all the cuddles, playing and love they need.”
About: Hi! I'm Casey, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, including eight dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, and goats. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've gained years of hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for rescued animals, administering medications, and following specific feeding and care routines. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting some extra attention, I'm happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently work full-time remotely, which gives me excellent flexibility throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate different schedules and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable caring for multiple pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits around your pet’s routine and give them the time and attention they need. I follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I take time to build trust so your pet feels comfortable with me, and I’m careful about secure doors, gates, and leashes. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.
“Angela was The Best Ever for my quirky, affectionate 13 year old standard poodle. She was extremely resourceful in figuring out how to meet his "senior" needs, and taught me a few tricks to get him to eat more! And he clearly loved her. She also took the best care of our house. I will ask her to sit with him again, without a doubt.”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“Maya took great care of our home and dogs while we were away! She was communicative, responsible and patient with our 11 month old lab. Both of our dogs enjoyed their time with Maya.”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals including cats, dogs, turtles, mice, guinea pigs, parrots, and fish. Today, I am a proud pet parent to three furry babies of my own: two cats and one anxious ChiPoo rescue. Raising an anxious pup has taught me how to provide the patient, gentle care that sensitive pets need to feel safe. Over the years, I have cared for many neighborhood and family pets. This includes hands-on experience with administering medication, maintaining strict walking routines, and carefully managing animals that don't get along with others. I am dedicated to giving your pets all the love they deserve while strictly respecting their unique boundaries and routines I'm currently in between jobs and schooling. My availabity is very open on weekdays and varies on weekends. Mostly in the Manayunk-Roxborough larger area, but willing to travel further for longer commitments. I provide reliable, patient supervision tailored directly to your pet’s unique medical or routine requirements. Whether managing active play or comforting an anxious pet, safety and trust are always my main focus.
About: I’ve taken care of pet (dogs and cats) since I was 17. I’ve watched friends and family’s dog and have a fur baby of my own. She is a 12 year old sassy cat and I’ve raised her since she was 4 weeks old. I’m free Monday- Friday. I don’t work in office anymore so have the extra time to take care of your babies! Willing to work with your schedule. Only offer walks, pet sit at your house, over night watch at your house. No services at my house due to my sassy cat :)
“Shaina was great. She watched our two dogs overnight in our house while we were away. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updates as I had requested at the meet and greet, and always responded in a timely manner. Highly recommend.”
“Renee is truly so caring and loving towards all animals! We felt completely at ease leaving our energetic 80lb. 4 year old boy with her while we were away. She was incredibly trustworthy, checked in regularly, and sent us pictures and videos, which meant so much to us. It was clear that she gave our fur baby much love and attention, treating him as if he were her own. We will absolutely be booking with Renee again in the future!”
“Paige did an excellent job sitting for our Belgian Malinois (Hoobie) and our Chocolate Labrador (Bella). Paige was timely and efficient, spending much time playing with the dogs and making sure they were comfortable. Paige had come by several days before to meet the dogs, and when she showed up the day of sitting the dogs were thrilled to see her! Handling two dogs at once (especially a Malinois!) can be challenging, but Paige made it look easy, you can tell she loves dogs and all animals! We highly recommend Paige, and will be asking her to dog sit again soon!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with two dogs and a cat, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Now that I’ve moved out on my own, I really miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to spend time with yours! I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I want to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and help give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work a hybrid schedule. I’m in office Tuesday - Thursday and home Friday - Monday. I’m in office for 8 hours, but able to come home for an hour in the middle of the day. I live in a pet friendly apartment that has its own fenced in dog park as well as off leash run area. It also has plenty of walking trails for nice long walks.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was a kid and I’ve helped my parents take care of them over the years. I am my mom’s go-to person to take care of her dogs even though I live almost two hours away. I will make sure you pet gets plenty of potty breaks, gets sufficient exercise by walking or playing, gets fed, and gets plenty of attention, pets and love. I work full time during the week, but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I am available from Thursday evening to Monday evening for boarding or house sitting. Outside of work, you can usually find me on a pickleball court somewhere, at the gym, or hanging around my apartment catching up on shows, movies or video games. My furniture and bed is completely pet friendly. I highly recommend the bed as it is quite comfortable and I encourage your dog to snuggle with me on the couch while we watch tv. My apartment building has a spacious yard, although it is not fenced-in. This means I will be walking with your dog whenever they need to go potty, which is fine because it’s an excuse for me to get outside! I am also a big fan of walks, so I will make sure your dog is getting out and stretching those legs.
About: Hi everyone, my name is Emily and I am excited to partner with Rover to do what I love best; working with all kinds of different animals. I work a full time job and devote my time off watching your furry loved ones. Please feel free to ask me any questions about my pet experience. Thank you and feel free to book with me soon. 🐾 I work a full time job however I accept house sittings and drop in bookings. My weekends are free and my evenings as well after 6pm for a drop in visit and dinner. I have a hour lunch break that I can accept drop ins, feeding and walks. I am pretty basic when it comes to caring for your animal. I follow the directions provided to me by the owner and create a bond with the animal. I want the pet to feel safe and comfortable with me most importantly. Fun time is always added in when we are following the schedule set by the parents. I love to send updates and create a full photo album of there entire booking. It helps create a base relationship with the pet owners seeing their pet relaxed and enjoying their absence.
“Misha was great! We could tell that our dogs were as good as ever when we got back - they were very well taken care of, even with our feeding routine, which is a little bit out of the ordinary. She spent a lot of time hanging out at the house with the dogs, which is what we really want for them when we are gone for a few days, and knowing they had company made it much easier for us to enjoy our getaway. We never needed to worry about them at all. We would love to have Misha stay with our babies again in the future!”
“Absolutely best rating possible! Our baby is a lot of work and requires someone super capable of keeping our dog active and understanding his needs. She kept house clean, followed all tips, and was super communicative. Meechy was so happy to get snuggles and feel safe all week :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Davids
Lilly did an amazing job with my 8.5 year old pug. She stayed with him for one week and I was thrilled he was able to stay in his routine with minimal stress (4th of July fireworks and thunderstorms excluded). She was great with communication and daily pictures. I would highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.

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 Saint Davids 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 Saint Davids 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 Saint Davids 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
