Simply put, Anthony was great. This is my first time using a pet sitter and Anthony took the time to answer all of my questions which really put my mind at ease. My Doberman warmed up to Anthony rather quickly which was evident in the terrifuc reports and photos that Anthony provided after each visit. Thank you, Anthony!

About: Hi! My name is Kacey I have been dog sitting the last two years and recently started boarding within the last 8 months. I grew up with German shepherds and Rottweilers which helped me to be able to handle big dogs. When I’m not busy I like to volunteer at shelters and take one of their pups out even for a few hours and go on walks. In my professional life I am a CNA and I care for elderly people w/ dementia and some special needs children. I am about to start a dog training course and hopefully make that my career one day😊😊 My schedule is very flexible, since I do online classes I’m almost always home & my senior clients are 1-2 times a week. When I am not here my fiance will be here so your pup will always have someone to play with😊 In my home the dogs have their own bedroom connected to mine. It includes a queen sized bed, several dog beds and crates. I am constantly letting them outside since I have a 3 month old puppy and he needs potty breaks every couple of hours. Their days are filled with tons of walks, toys, treats and mostly cuddles 💕💕

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since i was 12. Ive had experience with puppies as well as older dogs that need more help with things daily. I will always play or run around with dogs if i’m not petting them. I am currently working a part time job which leaves Thursday’s to Sunday’s open! Starting mid September I will be going to a school to get my CDL license, this will take up Monday-Friday mid day, but weekends and afternoons I will be available! I’ve learned how to deal with crating dogs if needed, as well as worrying about a dog jumping on me or barking. If an older dog ever needs any assistance and requires me to pick them up for help with stairs or a porch I’m willing to do so.

Emalee is amazing!!! I highly recommend her services. Emalee takes care of Scooby every week while I'm at work. Emalee never disappoints. She is amazing with Scooby, at least that's what he told me! Lol. Emalee is always early and her communication skills are fantastic. You will get a response quickly. She is also very very flexible. I couldn't ask for more!

Sarah did a great job with our two cats - Bonnie & Clyde while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates from her about our babies and her communication with me while we were gone was excellent!! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future. Thank you 😊

Briete was wonderful! She was so good with my dog. This was my first time with her and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She is very warm and helpful, I’d definitely recommend her and call her again!

Samantha is the best! So greatful she was our sitter. Samantha followed all the instructions I had to take care of my senior (18 yr) cat. Her and Noel became friends after a few days. I would definitely trust Samantha with my pets. She was even nice enough to leave additional lights on knowing we were going to come home late.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.

Cherie did amazing with my dogs! She was attentive and took care of them while I worked long hour shifts. She made sure to let me know if they pooped or not and if they drank water while she was there. Highly recommend and will be using again!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I am just starting my Rover journey and cannot be more excited! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn what is best for your pet. I will take care of your fur baby, go for walks, and even take them to dog parks if you like. I have two dogs of my own and a cat that believes he owns the house, lol. My schedule is flexible, and I can drop in and accept last-minute bookings. I am currently looking for my next adventure, and why not do something that I enjoy? I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!

About: With over 5 years of hands-on dog watching experience, I provide more than supervision I provide stability, attentiveness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies who need structured activity to senior dogs who thrive on a calm, predictable pace, I understand how important it is to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. What truly sets me apart is the balance I bring between structure and affection. Dogs feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. My daily routine typically includes on-time feedings, fresh water refresh, bathroom breaks, and exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level. Whether that means long walks, active play sessions, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship, I adjust based on what your dog needs that day. Beyond the basics, I focus on mental stimulation and emotional well-being. I reinforce positive behaviors, engage in interactive play, and ensure your dog has both active time and calm downtime. I work overnight shifts during the week, and I dedicate my weekends fully to pet care. This allows me to provide focused, unrushed attention from Friday through Sunday. I intentionally keep my weekend availability open for pet sitting so I can give each pet consistent, quality care without overbooking. Weekend care includes structured routines with feedings, walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship tailored to your pet’s needs. I make sure their schedule stays consistent and stress-free while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep everything as normal and stress-free as possible. Pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I prioritize maintaining their routine, respecting their space, and creating a calm, consistent presence while you’re away.

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I started working at a veterinarian clinic when I was in high school and eventually became a veterinary technician. My time working has allowed me to gain multiple skills from caring for senior animals to administering many different forms of medication. Whatever care your pet needs, I’ll be able to handle it! I am currently a student, so I am mainly free on the weekends. Depending on your location, week nights can possibly work for me as well! When I am with your pet, they will have my undivided attention. Whether they are a youngster who needs a lot of play time, or an older pet who just needs some extra cuddles. I have worked with a wide variety of sizes and types of animals so I can handle just about anything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 882 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Symerton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Symerton. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
