About: Since I was little I’ve taken care of not only my own dog, but also but friends’, families’, and neighbors’! I also have experience with senior dogs (my own dog) and puppies!! I’m currently working a part time job only twice a week so I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can do all services almost everyday before 4 or 5 pm! I’m very well experienced with electric fences as I have one in my own yard. I am also experienced with crating, walking, and niche feeding habits - and can follow specific instructions for special pups!
“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”

About: My beloved pet Cookie just passed away at age 18. I gave her plenty of love and care and will do the same for your dog/s. Can’t wait to snuggle with your pet and treat him or her like Family. I live in the Garnet Valley School District and have lots of time to give your dog happy hellos, soft snuggles and loyal Friendship. I have experience in letting dogs out from at their home and taking dogs for walks when owners are away on vacation. I love making dogs happy with kind words, food/treats, sitting next to them and rubbing their belly. My home is perfect for boarding because I live in a quiet, traffic free area and it safe to walk or board your adorable pet. I also have a gated deck to enjoy fresh air when the weather is nice. If your preference is to leave your furry friend in your home, I would gladly come out to your home to look after your pet/s in their familiar environment.
“Ciana did a fantastic job to care for our cats while we were away. She was always prompt each day, spent time to bond with the cats, and kept things tidy around the house and sent us pictures each day. 5 stars!”
“Kieralyn did an incredible job taking care of our four cats for a week during the nights. One of them needed medical attention, and she handled it wonderfully. She made sure they always had enough food and water, thoroughly cleaned the litter boxes, and gave our cat the necessary insulin shots. She took such great care of them that we believe our cats will miss her! We couldn’t have asked for better care.”

“Olivia was a great sitter for our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and flexible when I contacted her. She sent regular pictures and let us know how each visit went. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda was an awesome drop in for our our cat! She was punctual, kind and gave Kitty her medication like a pro. We will absolutely be using for drop ins again soon!”
About: I have had and been around dogs since before I can remember! I grew up with 3 little Jack Russells and now have an adorable Newfypoo. I have always loved training, playing with, and taking care of my pets, as well as looking after other pets for friends, neighbors, or family. I would love to meet your pets and promise they will be in great care! I am looking to care for some pets this summer and into the upcoming year! I am flexible with times so please reach out if interested! I have a large yard that your pets can run around in, as well as a large home to play in. My dog is a 7-year-old Newfypoo named Theo to keep your pets company. He is a loving, playful, gentle giant! I also have 3 sisters who all absolutely adore animals. Safe to say your pets will be in great hands and have lots of attention!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been passionate about caring for animals. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I work in healthcare, where attention to detail, patience, compassion, and reliability are essential every day. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work full time Tuesday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with occasional Saturdays, but I’m available for evenings and weekends, and drop-in care. Mondays are bit more flexible as of now , that is subject to change end of August. I have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the special care and attention this breed requires. Because Frenchies can be prone to overheating and breathing difficulties, I closely monitor activity levels, especially during warm weather, and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a comfortable environment, and plenty of rest. As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routine, and overall well-being. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by pet parents and make sure pets receive plenty of love, supervision, and companionship. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, safe environment and treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to provide reliable care and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog as well as family and friends dogs for about 10 years. I am able to take long walks, feed, and entertain in general. I consider myself very trustworthy as I’ve had a dog my whole life. I recently just graduated college and am back home in Langhorne so I am free on weekdays any time after 12 pm. I can walk around for some good exercise for the dog or just play in the yard. I live in a great area for nice long walks. If I’m staying at a clients home, I provide lots of cuddles inside as well as fun play time outside.
About: This Kat loves animals 🐾 I truly love seeing animals happy—whether they’re running, playing, or simply feeling safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved. I have hands-on experience working in both a veterinary office and a doggie daycare, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and attentive care. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. If your pet stays with me, I focus on helping them feel secure and at ease—like they’re right at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’m also vegan and deeply value compassion for all animals, which naturally carries into how I care for the pets I work with. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy because of the connection and joy animals bring. I know how important your pet is to you, and I take that trust seriously. I am working part time and would love to fit some pet care into my schedule. My job is very flexible and I have at least 20 hours to devote to pet care if not more I have a fenced yard and a small terrier mix that loves company or a possible playmate. I am excited to provide a safe haven for your furry friend
About: Who said dogs were the only pets that know how to do tricks? My cat’s (strong) drive for food has helped me in teaching her how to sit, and put up with all of the love I give her. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, even the aloof fur babies. Whether they’re playful and outgoing or shy and independent, I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace.🩵🐈⬛ Watching my boyfriend’s high-energy Rottweiler/Bully mix has given me hands-on experience with a dog that keeps myself, and everyone within a mile radius on their toes! Through a strong amount of patience and unwavering consistency (even with all of his cuteness), I’ve taught him ways to help him develop better manners and impulse control. I’ve learned how to channel his energy into learning new tricks. I’ve become confident in finding ways to help even the most energetic dogs settle down and relax. 💕🐶 I work part time during the week as a support staff for adults with autism. I am available every Monday and Wednesday after 4pm, Tuesdays after 1pm, and Thursdays after 2pm. 😊 I ensure all tiny items a puppy or teething dog can choke on are put away. Leashing before walking outside is a must, even with the most well behaved animals. Double checking that the doors are closed is essential, and will never feed your pet food/treats that have not been approved by you.
About: I have a lot of experience with pets, both dogs and cats from a young age. I have a five year old Boston terrier at home. I am currently working a full time job, but I would be available for drop in visits/dog walks during the week after 3pm or on the weekends either day or night time. I am currently living in a small apartment so I would not be available for boarding someone else’s dog in my own home. Thank you.

About: Hi, I’m Matt. I love dogs and enjoy giving them a calm, comfortable place to stay while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have often helped care for my parents’ and sister’s dogs, so I know how important it is to have someone dependable who treats your dog like part of the family. I work from home in health IT consulting, which allows me to be present during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and general companionship. I only take one client at a time, so your dog will get plenty of individual attention and will not be in a crowded boarding environment. I live in a quiet, owner-occupied apartment in West Chester with no children and no other pets. My home is best for small or mid-sized dogs who are comfortable in an apartment setting. While I do not have a fenced yard, I take dogs out for supervised leash walks, and the neighborhood has grassy areas and light local traffic. I’m happy to provide daily exercise, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and oral medication administration if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed if that is what they are used to at home. For safety and comfort, I always like to do a meet and greet before confirming a stay to make sure it is a good fit for your dog, your expectations, and my home environment. I can also provide recommendations/references from people whose dogs I have cared for. I currently accept dogs over 1 year old, crate-trained dogs only, and no females in heat. I’m especially a good fit for dogs who do well in a quieter home and enjoy walks, attention, and a predictable routine. Overnight boarding is based on Rover’s 24-hour booking period. I’m always happy to clarify drop-off and pick-up timing before a stay so there are no surprises. I look forward to helping your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I work from home in health IT consulting and have flexibility throughout the day. I’m usually home during the workday, which allows me to provide regular attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. During a typical day, I can take dogs out for potty breaks every 2–4 hours and provide walks or exercise based on the dog’s needs, energy level, and the weather. I also build in time for play, rest, and keeping the dog comfortable in a calm home environment. Because I only take one client at a time, I’m able to keep the schedule focused on that dog’s normal routine as much as possible. I ask owners to share feeding times, walk preferences, medication needs, crate routines, and any special instructions so I can keep their dog’s care consistent and predictable while they are away. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for dogs in my home. I live in a quiet, owner-occupied apartment with no children and no other pets, and I only take one client at a time so each dog receives individual attention. Before confirming a stay, I always prefer to do a meet and greet to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, my home, and the overall environment. I want both the owner and the dog to feel confident that it is a good fit. During a stay, I follow the owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, walking preferences, and any behavioral or comfort needs. I provide regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, supervised leashed walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Since I work from home, I am usually able to give dogs attention and supervision during the day. Dogs are welcome on furniture and the bed if that matches their routine at home. I do not have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised and on leash. My neighborhood has grassy areas and light local traffic, which makes it a good setting for regular walks. For safety and comfort, I currently accept dogs over 1 year old, crate-trained dogs only, and no females in heat. I can also provide oral medication administration when needed. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for my entire life which has given me many skills that I now share with other dog owners. I am very comfortable with walks, playtime, and routines for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love exercising and going on long walks, so I can accommodate for any walking needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention they need while keeping owners updated with pictures so you know that your dog is having a safe and fun time! I am a college student home for the summer, so I am available all day during the week to care for and/or walk your pup! As a lifelong dog owner, I will be sure to treat your dog and your space with the same respect and care that I would my own.
About: I have a yorkie Terrier he is the best. He loves other Dogs. We play and go on walks. Have fun with the kids very gentle. I work from home so I am home most of the time.

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 Thornton 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.

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.
