“Alicia was amazing! We had plans for a friend to feed our dogs fall through last minute and Alicia was able to make the timing work for us. Since we were new, she made time for a meet and greet ahead of time. During the visits themselves, even though they was a shorter visit of feeding and play time, she still left thorough updates and photos. She was communicative, friendly, so kind to our pups, and we will definitely be rebooking as needed in the future!! Would recommend her to anyone needing a trusted person for their animals.”

About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs. I’ve dog sat for a few people I know personally, providing drop in visits, overnight care and walks. Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.

About: HI! My name is Alisha and the only thing I love more than a good pun is a good doggie! I have been a lover of all animals since as early as I can remember. I am very active and love bringing the pups out on my runs and exploring nature together. I am patient and love cuddles and kisses, but am a stickler for manners, rules, and boundaries. I have experience with deaf dogs, potty training, and crate training. My schedule is very flexible right now for any service you are in need of and have reliable transportation. I hope I can meet your doggie soon so I can have another new four-legged friend! There is a lot of flexibility in my current work schedule, so that means I have pretty open availability to supervise, play, and cuddle with your baby!! In my house home pets are part of the family. They deserve all the love and attention to give them the very best life possible!

About: I have been caring for dogs for more than 10 years. Family, friends and coworkers have relied on me to care for their dogs often!! I am currently working full time however, I am free on the weekends to care for your dogs. I have had dogs for my entire life and have always made them a priority even on days when I am home later than normal. Unfortunately, I m unable to care for cats due to my own allergies. When I have dogs in the yard, I always watch them even if they are in a fenced in yard. When dogs are not in a fenced in yard, I always have them leashed when outside. I treat dogs like my kids. I am always playing with dogs when they are inside the home, if they want to play of course.

About: With four years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care. My hands-on work has taught me to handle a variety of breeds and temperaments, managing everything from feeding and medication to special routines. My own rescue dog has added a personal layer to my professional skills. It's taught me the empathy and patience needed to build trust, proving that my approach is rooted in genuine love and a true commitment to a dog's well-being. Caring for my own rescue dog has naturally woven pet care into the very fabric of my daily and weekly routine. It's not a chore; it's a structured part of my day that brings consistency to my life, and most importantly, to his. Daily Routine: Morning: The day starts with a walk and a feeding. This isn't just about meeting his basic needs; it's our time to bond, to get some fresh air, and to start the day with a positive routine. Throughout the day: Even when I'm working, I make sure to have dedicated breaks for play and mental stimulation. This could be a quick game of fetch, a puzzle feeder, or a brief training session to reinforce good behavior. These short bursts of attention prevent boredom and keep him happy. Evening: The day winds down with another walk, dinner, and some quiet time. This is often our cuddle time, where he gets a chance to relax and feel secure, which is especially important for a rescue. When a pet stays with me, they become a temporary member of my family. My focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that minimizes the stress of being away from home. A "Home Away from Home": I provide a structured but loving environment, mirroring a typical household. My home is completely pet-proofed, with a secure backyard for safe play and potty breaks. Consistency is Key: I work with the owner to maintain the pet's regular schedule for feeding, medication, and sleep. I have a dedicated space for each dog's belongings (food, toys, bed) to help them feel at ease.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, my family had a Great Pyrenees and Shetland sheepdog. I now have a King Charles Cavalier of my own who is 8 and is the love of my life! I love animals of all kinds and will treat them with the love and care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule but am most available on weekends for boarding so I can give your pup the most attention, please reach out for more information on my availability. I have a very friendly 8 year old King Charles Spaniel named Fanny who can keep your pet company, or if your dog needs/would like to be alone I can do that as well - my family often watches my dog at times and live nearby. I will take them out every two hours or more if needed and love to play fetch and snuggle. I love to walk and will make sure your dog gets exercise and time outside!

About: I have had my home base business for over 20 years and I'm looking to try something new. I have been a dog owner my entire life. I currently have 3 small dogs. I have ample time and desire to be a pet/house sitter on Rover. I love all pets, especially dogs and cats. Not a big fan of snakes. Please reach out to me, lets chat. My work is seasonal, meaning I mostly work from Spring to Fall. WIth my season coming to an end, I am looking to branch out and try something new. I have always loved animals so Rover seems like a great fit. I have a lot of free time heading into the winter. I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle so snow and ice wont stop me. I have 3 dogs. One is 13, one is 2 and the baby is 11 months. I also have 2 grown children who live at home. When I am at home working, my dogs are the shop with me. My shop is a 2 car garage and a fenced in yard. They stay outside with me most of the day with 2 breaks for naps in their private room. In the summer, they have a pool and plenty of shade. Their safely and comfort is important to me as is their need for play time, walks and lots of hugs and scratches. I am used to having a puppy around and cleaning up messes. As your pet sitter, I will never bring my dogs along with me. They have a dad at home to take care of them. My schedule is very flexible and I understand the need for help with pets. My seasonal job requires me to travel in the summer and getting pet sitters is sometimes tricky. I guess I should say, getting a trust worthy pet sitter who is going to deliver on her promises can be tricky.

“Carly was fantastic. She took such great care of our two boys for a week, they were fed and the litter box was spotless when we got home. The most impressive thing was when Carly sent us pictures she was petting our cats. They don't often take to strangers so quickly but loved her right away. I highly recommend using Carly.”

About: Through years of experience handling various breeds and temperaments, I approach each furry companion with compassion and respect. Creating a safe and nurturing environment entrusted to my care. I currently work from home and often have more than enough time. Activities such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship can ensure the well-being and happiness of our furry companions. I do not care for pets often anymore due to the passing of my longtime pup at 13 years old. I want to create a happy, healthy, and safe space for a short time to help others.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had pets myself and I have pet sat for my friends and family for years. I am punctual and detail oriented. Whatever you and your pet need I will provide. I will always show love and respect to the pets I care for. I work at Mom's Organic Market 4 days out of the week so I have plenty of open days to take care of your pets. I live in an apartment and have a cat so my place would not be ideal for pets to stay over. Maybe another cat would be ok. I am open to that.

Stephen was absolutely wonderful with my big guy: he took excellent care of him while we were out of state for a wedding. He was super interactive, sending photos and updates. Extra kudos to him because Jameson can be a stubborn walker and a very strong puller. Stephen handled him with care and even shared some tips on how to get him to stay focused during his walk. 10 out of 10 would recommend if I could give 20 stars I would thank you Stephen for taking great care of my boy last weekend!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Thorndale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Thorndale is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 8,001 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Thorndale. 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.

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 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.

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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
