About: Throughout my life Iâve had multiple dogs of all sizes and personalities. Since I was a kid, I was always the first to help my neighbors and friends with dog sitting or walking. I canât help the bond I have with our furry best friends! I still help my family and friends with any dog sitting needs to this day! I work from home Monday-Friday and have availability during lunch to assist with playtime or walks. For daily/overnight stays, I can work from your home. I will make sure to keep a close eye on your fur baby as well as give them lots of love and a friendly presence to be around!
âSofia was great! She dropped in twice a day, for 6 days, while we were on vacation. We had an unexpected health issue with our one dog, and she went out of her way to make his life easier while we were gone. We were sent plenty of photos and could see that all of our pets really connected well with Sofia. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter!â

âTalia was absolutely amazing I cannot recommend enough!! She communicated wonderfully and took the time to get to know my catâs personality. The pictures were great and I felt relaxed on my vacation knowing that Talia was giving my cat some love / cuddle time. 10/10 would recommend!!â

About: I have been surrounded with animals my entire life; whether that be cats, dogs, chickens, even chinchillas! I have dog sit around my neighborhood since 14 and I am a very strong presence in my own animalsâ lives. I adore every pet I have worked with and would love to care for yours! I am currently a student so I would love the opportunity to care for your animals! I have classes in the afternoon but early mornings and evenings are open for your pets. I am very accommodating to every household. If you do not have a fence no worries! Iâm a very active person and would love to go on runs with your doggies.
âDanielle was amazing and truly went above and beyond when taking care of my three cats! Super fast communication, sent lots of pictures, and very thorough!! It was a relief to know they were in such great hands while we were away. Highly recommend!â

About: I have been around animals my whole life and have experience for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I am also comfortable with fish, reptiles, and other small pets, so I can cover any additional pets other than dogs and cats. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your pets loves walks, or playing, or just company to hang out with, Iâll make sure to give them the care they need, as well as the style they prefer. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet with someone else, so I value communication above all. Whether it be photos, quick updates, or detailed summaries of each visit, I prioritize a clean and quick path of communication, from the moment my services are required, the moment theyâre complete. I am currently out of school and starting a full-time job in late August, so this summer is very open for me. I do not currently have a part-time position, so my days are super open and I will take all work offered to me. I live in Wayne, with a large, fenced-in yard, around a spacious and clean home. I have siblings, all of which have as much experience with and love for animals as I do. With my siblings being in school and having sports and jobs, and my parents having work, the house is usually completely empty anyways. We are the âgo-toâ house when any family or friends need a pet-sitter, so weâre all very comfortable dogs of all sizes and personalities.
About: Iâve trained my cat to go for walks outside and Iâm training our new kitten to do the same. They are both car trained as well. Iâm interested in cats and caring for them by seeing their individual personalities and learning about their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a business owner, I have flexibility in my schedule and can adjust my availability throughout the day to meet a catâs specific needs. This allows me to maintain consistent visit times, accommodate special routines, and provide dependable care rather than rushed drop-ins. Iâm comfortable creating and following structured routinesâwhether thatâs regular feeding times, medication schedules, or enrichment sessionsâso pets experience continuity and calm while their owners are away. Whether caring for cats in my home or in a clientâs home, I prioritize consistency, cleanliness, and calm, attentive care. I share my home with two catsâone adult and one kittenâand caring for them has given me hands-on experience with different life stages, energy levels, and needs. Iâm intentional about creating a healthy, low-stress environment by staying informed on best products, enrichment tools, and care practices. I pay close attention to routines, litter box cleanliness, nutrition preferences, and behavioral cues, adjusting care as needed to keep cats comfortable and content. My approach is thoughtful and individualizedâfocused not just on meeting basic needs, but on supporting overall well-being so each cat feels safe, engaged, and cared for while youâre away.
âSydney did a lovely job getting to know my kitties before we left for the week and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. She sent many pictures and great updates while we were away. Which is just a nice thing to see when you are away, because you know that they are happy as well! I will absolutely be booking her again for our future travels.â


âHannah was amazing with Westly! Communication was 10/10 and she went above and beyond to make sure he was warm through intense weather (heâs a Georgia dog, and it snowed). Book her :)â

âDion provided outstanding drop-in care for my cat, exceeding all expectations. She was always on time and sent photos with her updates. Dion cares deeply about animals. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.â

âRoxanne was great! She took good care of our two cats, and I really appreciated the notes and photos she provided for each visit. She was very responsive to all messages and the cats liked her too. Thanks, Roxanne!â

âTalia was amazing! I booked her last minute and she made everything work very smoothly. You can tell she genuinely cares, everything felt easy and stress-free from the start. My cats got along great with her! Iâd absolutely recommend booking her!â

About: Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as a care taker for your animal while you are away! I have grown up with dogs (and the occasional bird & fishies). For the past 12 years, I've lived with and visited my best bud Zeke at my parent's house. I would love to have a dog of my own in the future, however for now I am hoping and so happy to take care of other's loved ones during the week and on weekends! I'm an active individual and enjoy taking dogs on walks, for car rides and the occasional ice cream or pup cup. I will give your animal all the love that they've come to expect because they certainly deserve it! Please reach out with any questions, and thanks again for thinking of me! :) I currently work full time (9-5) Monday-Friday, however I usually work from home Friday's and am available on weekends for full time pet care. During the week, I am able to visit (feed, walk, take out for bathroom needs) early in the morning (between 5:30 am to 7 am and in the evening (between 6-9 pm) In my current apartment, pets are welcome visitors. However, I am also happy to visit your home multiple times a day and stay with your pet when needed, especially if you are close! I work only 20 minutes away so I would have ample time in the morning and especially in the evening to stop by to feed, toilet, walk and play with your pet! This is especially great if your pet doesnât do well in a new environment; I am happy to provide them with everything theyâd need in a place where they feel the most comfortable!
About: Hi, I'm Jen! I've been caring for all different types of animals all my life and I would love the opportunity to spend some time with your pet! I currently own a horse and a cat. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule that allows walks or playtime throughout the day. I've been caring for and walking dogs professionally for 7 years. I have experience with all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I have a wide range of knowledge on different types of harnesses and how to handle any stressful situations that may arise during our time together. In case of emergency, I have a car and will always be able to get your pet to their vet or nearby animal hospital. I am also able to provide any type of medication your pet may need. I love to provide photo updates to the owner during my walks/visits. Because of the many years of experience I've had with horses, I believe I am well equipped to care for a variety of animals. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet like my own. I work from home and am able to provide walks/playtime throughout the day. I have a car so I can travel to you or bring your dog to a park or walk on a path. Whatever you are comfortable with. I live in a nice community where I am able to take dogs on long safe walks. If you need in home care, I am open to drop ins or hosting at my apartment. My cat is very respectful and is used to other animals.
About: I have always had at least one cat my whole life and since I was 10 years old, one (to several) dogs. Spending time with my dogs and husband is my favorite activity. I also have experience with guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles. I work a full-time job from home and I am able to make my own schedule, I just need some heads up to accommodate a schedule change. I love my full time job, however, it is a desk job and I am really looking to get out more and would love to enjoy some walks with your dog! I am happy to do a meet and greet so that both you and your pup can feel comfortable with me and I know all of the important details to keep them safe and happy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villanova
Julie took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and treated them as if they were her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She kept me updated, made sure all of their needs were met, and gave them plenty of love and attention. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter.

Dabney has been so good with our dog. We were in a desperate situation for an all-day thing away from home and we communicated with Dabney just the evening before, late, and she was able to come two times that Saturday to walk our 1yo puppy. We've used her ever since and she's been wonderful. On time, reliable, and good with our dog. Highly recommend Dabney for Bryn Mawr-area dogsitting!

Meera was fantastic and the best dog sitter we have ever had, by far. She made sure our dogâs needs were all met and gave her so much love and companionship during our time away. She was prompt, responsible and provided multiple check in photos a day and constant updates. Highly recommend!

Joanna was terrific! Our dog immediately took to her and Joanna was kind and thoughtful. Joanna was especially attentive to our dogâs stomach sensitivities and followed our vetâs instructions. She kept us informed with regular reports and sent us daily pictures and videos so we could see that Dexter was doing well. She relieved our anxiety of being away and made us feel comfortable and reassured that Dexter was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Joanna and would gladly hire her again.

Alex sid twice-daily walks with our lab mix (who loved Alex immediately!) and provided care for our bearded dragon while we were out of town for a week. Our animals got great care and attention, and Alex was punctual and provided great daily communication. Highly recommend!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs 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 Villanova 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 Justiceâs National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 doesnât 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 Villanova with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days youâd like them to care for your pet.

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.
