“Ella was fantastic!! Loved getting to see a pic of our girls every day, quick to respond, and she was always on time ❤️ would have her watch our girls again in a heartbeat!”

“We had reached out to Kirstin last minute and she could not have been nicer or more accommodating plus she was great with our silly boy, Mosley. She sent us updates and pictures each time she dropped in for a visit. Her communication regarding Mo was just what we needed to feel comfortable, that he was being well taken care of while we were away. Additionally, Kirstin was quick to respond to all of our messages (before, during and after our trip). We highly recommend Kirstins’ pet sitting services and look forward to booking with her again in the near future! Thanks Kirstin!🐾”


About: I've always loved animals and felt drawn to them! I've been around animals my entire life, I grew up with cats and dogs (over the years I've had 7 cats and 3 dogs!) and been around other people's pets. Throughout high school I pet sat for friends and family and loved it. I'm not amazing at training but I've picked up a little bit of knowledge from watching my sister train my dog over the years. I am a full-time college student at Ursinus College (where I also work part-time as a tutor). I am free on weekends and weekdays after 2pm besides Thursday (available after 5:30pm). I have experience with many different types of pets and am more than willing to accommodate to whatever works best for them and you! Whether that is talking them on walks, playing with them, petting them, or just being there keeping them company.

About: A lifelong dog lover with over nine years of personal experience raising my own pup and five years of dedicated dog‑sitting for friends and families. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m currently available throughout the entire week, including weekends, and can accommodate a wide range of schedules. Early‑morning drop‑offs work perfectly for me, and I’m happy to provide flexible timing to make your routine as smooth and stress‑free as possible. I have a huge fenced in yard and have easy access to private trails by the home and the have no other pets at home.
“Valerie cared for our two larger dogs while we were on vacation. She is terrific and I would recommend her to anyone. She really cares about maintaining the pets routine and making them happy. She follows any instructions you provide, shows up on time and is highly communicative. Our dogs are high energy and need structure which she easily handled. She put our minds at ease with her professionalism and love of animals.”


“Paige is a very kind and compassionate sitter, we had her taking care of our cat for a week and she was always super communicative and helpful! We will definitely hire her again!”


About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.

About: 1) Experienced with dogs of all personalities and temperaments through several years of volunteering at Dogtown Rescue, where I learned how to safely handle dogs with different energy levels, behaviors, and needs. 2) Safety is always my top priority. I’m extremely attentive on walks and proactively avoid situations that could cause stress or unsafe interactions with unfamiliar dogs. 3) Detail-oriented and careful. Before every walk, I check that harnesses, collars, and leashes are properly fitted and secure to help keep your pet safe. 4) Patient and calm approach. I understand that every dog is different and take the time to make them feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. 5) I treat every pet like my own, providing dependable, loving care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands. I currently have a hybrid job so I am able to provide care on various days and various times throughout the week. I also have flexibility weekends as I am often local. Prior to letting a dog out, I will always double check that fences and gates are properly closed. Additionally, prior to walks I always ensure that harnesses and leashes are properly working.
“Even after a snowstorm, Brooke showed up for my two cats! Very dependable and great communication! I used Rover because my original sitter bailed at the last minute. It was easy to set up and communicate with people nearby to help out! Brooke came through first and I was so relieved! I am so grateful and would definitely ask her again!”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own who are treated like royalty. I watch my neighbors pets, dogs, cats, bearded dragon, when they are out of town. I volunteer with a dog rescue when I can, Rylie’s Rescue, transporting, and foster care. I absolutely love all animals! I work part time, 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, from 11-6pm. All other days I’m completely available. I could always stop in before and after work. I prefer to watch in your home, I have 3 dogs, our Toy Australian Shepherd, has had to have surgery on 3 legs, so I rather keep him calm and not bring too much excitement to our home.
“Maxi is incredibly kind, responsive and loving. It feels like Nola has become an extension of their family. She even whimpers with excitement when we pull up for her to stay with Mazi! Recommended whole-heartedly from a dog obsessed owner.”


About: Hello, I’d love to help you with your pet needs and give your pets lots of love, potty breaks, exercise and make sure they are cared for, happy and safe when you are not home. I love animals! I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with Chihuahua’s. Our family had several over the years. Then I had a Cockapoo who lived to 16 yrs old, he was sick, but we cared for him and he still lived a long wonderful life! I currently have a 6 year-old chocolate lab named Maggie. She’s super energetic and brings a special love to our home. We also have a new member to our family, a cat named Suma…she’s beautiful and very playful! I'd describe my personality as kind, caring, organized, and helpful. I’m currently available for early morning, drop-in visits, also quick 30 minute lunch break visits and/or anytime after 5pm to care for your pets! I provide reliable, attentive care by following each pet’s routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own home.
“Once again, Delaney rocks with walking and sitting with our Bailey boy and Dabby cat. Don’t know how I’d get by without her! TYSM, Delaney! (If you’re reading this and deciding, contact her now! On second thought, we might need her… She’s great!!)”

“Allie did an amazing job looking after our 3 cats; Kimchi, Miso, and Bento! Kimchi suddenly needed medicine right before our trip and Allie had no issues giving him his pills. The daily pictures were awesome and she even took Kimchi out for walks on his harness, which was totally unexpected but he loved! Great job looking after our cats. We would absolutely book again and recommend to others”


About: I've had dogs my entire life, and I grew up around cats as well. I volunteered at the Humane Society in the cat room, and pet sit for friends and neighbors. I love all animals of all sizes and personalities. I'll make sure your furry family members are well taken care of while you're away <3
About: As an elementary teacher, I exhibit patience, responsibility, and a nurturing personality, which goes hand in hand with pet care. I am experienced in creating safe and positive environments while giving every child AND pet attention, kindness, and dependable care. I also own Shiba Inus, a breed known for being independent and stubborn, so I am very comfortable handling strong personalities, building trust, and providing consistent, loving care. In the summers, I have more flexibility and availability as a teacher, which allows me to dedicate extra time and attention to pets throughout the week. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I provide exercise, attention, breaks, and positive interaction during the walk. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I can support them by feeding them, refilling water, giving bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and lots of affection. I also make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

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 Skippack 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 Skippack 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. 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 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 Skippack 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.
