“She was amazing with my baby girl Bellatrix. Was really attentive to her and made sure she was a happy girl while her dads were away. Would recommend to anyone with a dog to have her watch them.”
About: Hi there! My name is Cacie - I’m a West Philly-based artist, plant-mom, and four-time Broad St Run runner. I love dogs, and while I don’t have dogs of my own, I am a proud dog auntie. My services include house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I am very detail-oriented and pay close attention to pet-parent instructions, including meal time and amount, food, pet preferences, and exercise schedule. I’m also happy to provide cute pet photos with each visit, of course! Ready to schedule a Meet & Greet? Send me a message! Can’t wait to meet you! I work remotely with a flexible schedule Monday-Friday. Generally, weekdays between 10am-4pm are best for me, though I can often make walks outside of this window work with enough notice! I am not available on weekends. I am very detail-oriented and pay close attention to pet-parent instructions, including meal time and amount, food, pet preferences, and exercise schedule. I strive to create a calm, comforting environment during every visit!
“Nancy was wonderful with my dog Bane! She took great care of him, including administering oral medications and refilling his water fountain when it was low.”
“Ana did a spectacular job looking after my cat, Freddie, while I was away. Freddie needs to take medications and gets an inhaler twice a day for asthma, so it’s not easy to find people who have both the skill and the kind & trustworthy temperament needed to put me at ease leaving my beloved one in their care, and that’s just what I found in Ana! She was an excellent communicator, sent detailed notes and tons of photos after each visit, and I would absolutely trust Ana to care for Freddie again in the future. Thank you again for everything, Ana!”
About: While I’ve never owned a dog, I’ve been around dogs my whole life and know what it takes to be a good care giver. I have experience caring for animals so I know what goes into day to day care. I’ve had several pets myself and know how to operate on their schedule and routine. I have about 8 hours of class a day during the week but otherwise I have time to spend time either relaxing or playing with your pet as well as the weekends. Walking and playing with your pet will give me an outlet for stress relief in my hectic academic schedule 😊 I live in a one bed apartment a short walk from Rittenhouse square. We can enjoy the weather or burn off some energy at the Square or the Schuylkill park.
“Chris had an unavoidable emergency (flat tire) prior to my drop in, but he stayed in constant communication with me on timing. I didnt have to worry!”
“Jae was a great sitter to our cat Tommy! She actively communicated with us prior to and during the drop in. She also sent a few pictures and videos that we greatly appreciated while away from home. Though our kitty is very shy, Jae made an effort to play with him to get some energy out during her drop in. Would definitely look to book her again!”
About: -I’ve had a cat of my own for a couple of years but have grown up around dogs - I work from home so I have a flexible schedule for walks and playtime - I love taking cute and silly photos of your furbaby I work from home full-time so I have flexibility. My typical availability is 7am-10am and 3pm-8pm during weekdays, with the ability to do shorter checkins and walks during the typical 9am-5pm. I have a senior cat that likes dogs (not so much other cats). We have grass right outside our apartment and it’s an easy walk to Clark Park.
About: I have loved and been drawn to animals my entire life. I am currently a full time veterinary assistant. Outside of work I enjoy staying busy with cat and dog sitting/walking. I know animal behavior well and their care and wellbeing is something I dedicate myself to. I am currently employed full time as a veterinary assistant. However, I am available most weekends and Mondays as well as during weekday evenings. I aim to be as flexible as possible with my clients needs and schedules. I am not available to care for pets within my own home but have been a pet sitter in several homes. I am always respectful of my clients space and safe and your pets wellbeing is my highest priority.
“Talia did a great job for us! She even brought in our packages which weren’t supposed to be delivered when she was there! Gabby warmed up to her at the greeting, which is not a normal thing for Gabby!”
“Zenith has been wonderful to work with - she is friendly, takes great care of my pets, and is overall an amazing sitter! She is very communicative when watching over my cats, and lets me know if any issues arise during her visits. I would 100% recommend her to watch your pets.”
About: I’m a dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with any and all pets! I have prior experience pet-sitting throughout high school and college and would love to watch/walk your pet. I live an active lifestyle and will be sure to make the most out of my time with your furry friend! I currently live in West Philly and am able to help walk pets/pet sit throughout the greater Philly area. I promise that your pet is my top-priority and that they will get all the love and care they deserve while I’m watching them. I currently work from home most days and can be available to pet sit during the day on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I also have the flexibility to take your pet on walks in the morning and evenings on those weekdays and all day on weekends. I live in a building that is very pet friendly with a dedicated dog park and a fenced backyard space with little noise. I live within walking distance of several parks that are great for dog walking as well. I do not currently have any pets and as such will not create any conflicts with your pets if they are sensitive to unknown dogs/cats.
About: Hi, I’m Amanda, a West Philly pet sitter who treats your pets like my own. 🐾 Six years ago I unexpectedly became a cat mom, and I’ve been itching to love on a few more fur babies. I grew up with big dogs, so I know how much exercise, enrichment, and company matter. I offer dog walks and drop-ins for small and medium dogs, plus cat drop-ins with play and enrichment. If your cat already loves a stroller like mine does, I’d be happy to take them out for a walk too! 🥳 I work remotely, so I can fit visits around my breaks and give your pet real attention rather than a rushed check-in. On weekdays, I can do walks before 8:30am, short walks in the early afternoon, and at least one early-afternoon stop-in (availability varies). My weekends are open. After every visit, your pet will have been fed, water will be refreshed, and walking gear will be put away, so that’s one less thing on your list. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby soon! I work a full-time remote job, so anything outside of the weekend will need to be coordinated. On weekdays, I have the most flexibility before 8:30am and in the early afternoon. My weekends are typically open and flexible! I’d love to know what practices work best with your pet and how they feel most comfortable in their home. My presence should be an extension of the care and structure you provide (or want to work on). During drop-ins I like to have a routine so saying hello and see ya later avoid stress/ disruption. Cafe for pets starts with defining what home means for them and matching my practices to that understanding. I also care about what YOU would like to come home to, so don’t hesitate to share light instructions for home visits.
About: I love taking care of dogs and have taken care of my childhood dog since 2011! My dog was a schnauzer so he required lots of attention which I am happy to provide. :) I’m currently a student, but have classes only intermittently throughout the week! I’m an avid walker so I would love to have a furry friend to walk with me! I study when I’m not in class most of the time, so I’m happy to home stay if your pet requires more attention and company (with classes in between)! Happy to walk and play with them of course!
“Amber was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my puppy with a sitter for the first time, but after a meet and greet with Amber, I knew he would be in very capable hands. She was extremely responsive during the booking process and did a great job keeping me updated with text messages and photos during each visit. Thank you so much Amber for taking such good care of my pup, and for giving me peace of mind while I'm gone! We can't wait to have you back!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since Ive been 14. Ive dog sat different breeds of dogs. Ive raised a litter from birth to 2 months of age. Ive also done in house dog sitting, dog walking, house sitting, and check-ins. Im currently in school so I have a bit of availability outside of that! They can get plenty of care before and after school and accompany on my walks and outdoor time that i take for myself! In my home I have toys, food, treats, water, and my loving companionship to offer. I live near a river trail where I can take them on plenty of walks and I live in a pretty walkable area. I also enjoy taking dogs to dog parks if they get along well with others.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spruce Hill
We loved having Brenna help with our puppy! Super reliable and very easygoing with Cow. She was patient and gentle with all his puppy attitudes and gave him plenty of love and playtime. Easy to communicate with and provided frequent check ins with us during her visit. Will definitely be booking again! Cow had a very fun day with her.
So grateful for you, Elliot! We felt so secure leaving Teeny in your care! You kept us in the loop the whole time and it looks like she got a TON of good pets! Teeny was very happy to have your company! Will definitely be reaching out the next time we go away. Thanks!!
Amanda did a wonderful job with my drop-in visit! My dog can be pretty anxious, so I really appreciated the extra time, patience, and effort she put into making sure he felt comfortable and cared for. She went above and beyond, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Amanda and would happily book her again!
Charlotte was an exceptional sitter! My cat is scared of all visitors and is a very scared cat however Charlotte was able to make a connection within the first day. She was very communicative during all check in ins and provided so many cute update pictures 😺
Cailey was great! I had a situation where my prior sitter had a conflict, so I had to bring in Cailey last minute to watch my senior chihuahua. She was responsive, resourceful, reliable, and easy to work with. She really helped me out in a pinch. Highly recommend!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Spruce Hill is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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.
As of November 2026, there are 9,451 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Spruce Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spruce Hill. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
