“Stephen is awesome! This was our first time using Rover and his services. His thoroughly written check ins with our pup definitely put us at ease while we were away. He's earned himself a repeat client.”
“Mackenzie was an amazing pet sitter! She was always timely, friendly, and professional, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially appreciated how she was able to get my shy cat to take her meds which is no small feat! On top of that, her photography skills were such a bonus; I loved getting thoughtful, high-quality updates. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her!”
“We had to travel out of state for a wedding, and this was our first time using the Rover app. Our sitter, Rachel, was absolutely amazing. She took excellent care of our 22-year-old cat and our two birds, following all of our instructions perfectly. Rachel was also a fantastic communicator, keeping us updated on how our pets were doing and even checking in about the house. It gave us real peace of mind knowing we could relax while we were away, confident that everything was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Rachel again in the future.”
“I felt confident that my cats were in good hands when we went away. My girls are older and have medical needs, so finding someone who can handle that is important. My girls also warmed to her immediately on the meet and greet! She is very personable, professional, and great with animals. Will definitely be working with her again!”

About: Walk time, play time, and snuggle time are all big parts of owning and loving a dog, and happen to be 3 of my favorite things. My 8 year old coonhound mix Wilbur loves to play tug and chase with his BFFs, Chase and Stitch, and would love to meet your pet if you'd like! Not every dog wants play, some need one on one time. I'm here because I love dogs and am in tune with their needs. I pay attention to what they are trying to tell me. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, from mutts to Cairn Terriers to Beagles to Pibulls to St. Bernards, and have yet to find a dog that doesn't like me. Even when their owner said they wouldn't. Even better than that, dogs listen to me inherently and when I come upon a stubborn pup, I know that patience and positive rewards trump everything! Wilbur's BFF Beau was a rescue from animal torturous testing and had many special needs. He was also a flight risk. I dog sat Beau and Lily for 7 years and have learned to never underestimate a Beagle's brain, they will not hesitate to outsmart you. Wilbur grew up with his now deceased BFFs Lily (super mutt) and Beau (Beagle) since he was 3.5 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior pups who need attentive care. Beau and Lily required meds and special diet as they aged and lived their full lives. Thank you and I look forward to adding your pup to my 4-legged friend list! I'm currently working part time, so your pet will easily fit into my schedule. My hours are flexible and my car is reliable, ready to transport a new friend! I have a fenced in yard and gated wrap around porch, as well as 2 beagles (ages 5 and 7), and a medium sized Wilbur (age 8). At your home harnesses and leashes will always be on before any doors are opened. I can crate your dog as well, if you prefer that.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We currently have a 3 year old puppy of our own! She is a wild girl but I love her to death and she’s my world. I switched from remote work to full time in the office so I am tag teaming with my fiancé with taking care of our pup and any requests. When I’m not working, I can watch dogs on the weekends and after work. I will keep my calendar updated. I let my own puppy roam during the day. She sleeps with us at night as well. We accommodate dogs on how they are treated at their own homes.

Brady did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! He visited 3 times a day and sent reports and pictures each day. His communication was awesome! Knowing that our pets were in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! We look forward to having him help with our girls again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vu has been excellent! This was our first time going away and it has been a relief to allow Rosie to stay in the comfort of her own home while we were gone. We got a ton of pictures and updates and it made us feel super comfortable. I am incredibly grateful we found Vu and will definitely be booking with him again for our next vacation!

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 Thorndale 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 Thorndale 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 Thorndale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
