“At first we were apprehensive about choosing a new individual to care for our pets. Our first interaction with Brady was that he was a typical uninterested young man who would be ok, but be nothing special. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised and wrong in our initial assessment. Our assumption that he was disinterested was really him easily and fully understanding our needs the first time we explained them. He only asked intentional and poinient questions to get exactly the information he needed to provide an exceptional service; he didn't need additional clarification which made us think, wrongly, he was not fully engaged. Don't let his approach and directness fool you; he is fully committed to the job at hand and able to accommodate your and your pets' needs. Brady was excellent with our dog and cat while we were away. He took extra time to play with them daily even though it wasn't required. He was also easily willing to check on the house, find a missing mail package, and ensure the dog (who has storm anxiety) was her usual self after a major storm. He was very responsive to texts through the app even at odd times of day. We appreciate his willingness to be flexible with our delayed and changing flights and his anticipation of our needs. We will definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”

About: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Some pets love active play and exercise, while others prefer quiet companionship and extra cuddles. I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that would offer me the opportunity to work with you and providing what you need for your pet care needs When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and treating their space with the same care I would expect for my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands.

About: I have been around and taken care of pets my whole life so I know what they need and how to satisfy them. I have have taken care of dogs of all ages and cats as well. I am currently working part-time so I will be able to give me free time to providing the best care possible for all pets. Weekends are the most free for me but I also have plenty of time Mondays through Fridays. I make sure to treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own. During walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and fun while paying close attention to each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, exploring new smells, or taking things at a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while your pet is with me.

About: I am able to give medication and medical shots to pets, I have experience with this as my one dog has diabetes and requires two shots a day. My other dog is a reactive dog as well so I have some experience in trying to handle a reactive dog. I also have had multiple puppies and senior dogs that have exposed me to the different type of care and attention they need, especially when the owners are away. I have experience with dog sitting since I watched my neighbors dogs for years now and have previously worked with one of their dogs that had special needs. I am in the summer before I leave for college so I am home and able to watch the pets at pretty much anytime needed. I am busy with softball tournaments some weekends, but the weekends I do not have that I am around in the area mainly at anytime. I am able to crate a dog, take a walk friendly dog out on walks, feed them, administered medication if required, and play with the dog.

About: Personal: Since I was little Verterenarian was always my dream job.. of course things change. I instead went into the Marine Corps and then opened a new chapter in Swim Instruction and Lifeguarding. Back then was when I got my first Cat in 2012. Currently I'm becoming certified in Massage Therapy and hope to move on to animal accupressure and therapy as well, so I'm unavailable between 7:30am and 2pm Mon-Thursday. I've been told by various people throughout my life how I have "the touch" and that they or their pets feel oddly soothed by me. I have even met people and their dogs while on hikes and been invited right there to care for their picky pets(uninterested in humans.) It's always special when dogs come to me for comfort in a room full of people which has happened a few times. One of the most notable ones was an old Sheltie who wouldn't come out from behind the couch (afraid of lightning); I wound up holding her failing hips and hitting some feel-good points to coax her out and back to normal. I grew up with a Husky/Lab/Chow mix and a Yorkie-Poo. Later I shared/trained a MinPin-Chiuwuawa and most recently had my own Jack Russell/Chiuwawa mix and would always get compliments on how well-behaved they were. I'm intuitive, empathetic, and can hit certain spots when massaging them or just transfer energy somehow that seems to really speak their language. I'm an animal too in every good sense of the word! My life experiences have trained me to think on my feet and innovate my way out of any obstacle, with a laugh in my heart and a respect for the waves. Schedule: When I schedule through Rover, it has my full attention, and I won't leave to do other work unless it's specifically OK'd through you (then I may go out just to do a few deliveries and come back within 2 hours... though I certainly wouldn't leave 2 unfamiliar doggies alone whatsoever even if they were friends!) I can rise to your preference of potty and meal schedule, no sweat! If you're okay with your dog staying home during school for extended trips you may need to take, we can set them up in their own room or area of the house. Safety, Trust & Environment: I'd like to introduce my dog Pitunia as an extremely sweet, curious, receptive dude. We take big camping trips with friend's families (dogs, kids) and do exceptionally well. Each animal can perceive various tones in voice or touch or types of play differently, so I do take safety quite seriously. We don't play tug without practicing "LET GO" - I think it's relatable playing with toys and having some accidental nips - that said he really amazes me by Letting Go. I make sure to reward for every good behavior and only teach "no" if I'm distinguishing between "yes.". When we have multiple dogs it's important to feed at the same time and in separate areas. I typically have mine "wait" and he will sit or lay in his area until I set down the food, which comes in handy for multi-dog safety ☺️ Pitunia and I have also completed the Paws For People Therapy Program, where we trained with other dogs weekly to condition for working in hospitals, etc, so he is such a well-trained marshmallow. Manners tend to need constant upkeep though, as I'm sure you probably know with your loveable friend who might Also be: inquisitive eager jumpin and bumpin with affection, tail whippin butt wigglin and kissin!!! So we always keep at it😌.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Thorndale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Thorndale on Rover is $16.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,027 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Thorndale. 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 Thorndale. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
