“Dion 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.”
About: I have had dogs all my life, my parents would be at work most of the day so I would take my dogs for walks, feed them, and take care of them. I am committed to creating a nurturing and safe environment for every dog under my care, treating them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their furry friends receive the highest level of attention and love! I am a recent Graduate from George Mason University and currently have full availability! I am currently in Pennsylvania for the time being, and my schedule is completely open as of right now! I follow the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with each pet, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, reducing any anxiety they might feel in their owner's absence.
“Daphne and Rosie seemed to really hit it off. (Love the pics of Daphne scratching the top of Rosie's head!) Rosie seemed quite happy and content when we arrived back home. Daphne was prompt on her arrival times and all was in order with the house. We would definitely have Daphne care for Rosie again.”
“Alexis was wonderful with my two kittens!! She was communicative, played and looked after them, and went above and beyond while she was at the house. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be reaching out to book her again!”
“Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.”
“Highly recommend Emma for caring for your pet! She provided updates and pictures of my dog and I could tell she gave him the attention that he loves! He is a 11 yr old large dog with ambulation issues and she took great care of him.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labradoodles, and today my family has four dogs: Walter, a dachshund, Alvin, a Scottish terrier, and Husky and Frosty, two Siberian huskies. Caring for such different breeds has taught me that every dog needs something different. Huskies need a lot of exercise and a watchful eye, since they are known escape artists. Terriers can be stubborn and need patience and consistency. Dachshunds need gentle handling to protect their backs. I’m comfortable with high-energy big dogs and small dogs alike, and I pay attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and quirks. I'm also an avid runner so I'm able to adjust to faster-paced walks/jogs if need be. I don’t have class on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and I’m also free on weekends, so I’m fully available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I have a car, so getting to your home is easy. I want your dog to feel just as happy and comfortable with me as they do with you. I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure every walk is fun and safe. Having two huskies at home, I know how sneaky some dogs can be about slipping out a door, so I’m always careful about that. I’ll treat your home like my own and send you photos after each visit so you can see how much fun your pup is having. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away.
“Sophia went above and beyond caring for my cats during a massive heatwave, checking in with us and reassuring us that the air conditioning was still working well. The cats were well taken care of! Would absolutely hire again.”
“Roxanne came to my rescue after we booked a last minute getaway! She watched Lucy once before and was excellent so I knew Lucy would be in good hands and I could relax while away. Roxanne showed up right on time and sent texts and photos for all drop in visits. Will definitely request her again. Thanks Roxanne!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and I will love your pets like my own! Over the years I’ve gained experience with pet-sitting for my friends and neighbors, as well as caring for my own pets! I am confident I can provide amazing care for your furry family! I am a senior in high school, working part time and looking for extra jobs. My schedule is very flexible!! But typically I’m available after 230 Monday through Thursday I am well-versed in caring for all kinds of cats and dogs! I will give your pet(s) my full attention and do whatever necessary to keep they safe, healthy, and happy!
“Alexis is so sweet with our old beagle and is very reliable! She communicated well and I felt very comfortable with her watching our dog while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Lorrie was so kind . I had her come and meet us for the first time, as we search for dog sitters. Lorrie got on the floor and just sat and pet Cali as we talked; Cali took right to her :) I will definitely be calling on Lorrie for her drop-in services.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villanova
This was my first time using rover and I could not have had a better experience with Alexandra. She went above and beyond taking care of my cats Jules and Fiji. Any nerves I had about leaving my cats with special feeding instructions and medical needs were put to rest by Alexandra. She is a true life saver and you can tell how much she enjoys getting to know your pets and makes every effort to address their needs! Alexandra will be my first choice should I need help checking in on the kitties in the future!
Emma was wonderful with Benny while we were away. She was very reliable, kept me updated every day, and paid close attention to his food, water, and overall behavior. I really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, especially since Benny can be a little cautious with new people. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was checking on him every day. I would definitely recommend Emma and would be happy to book with her again!
Julie did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was gone, providing plenty of pictures for me and engagement for them. She was also willing to work with me to get through my building's byzantine security system, which I appreciated. She made my first extended trip away from my cats a stress free experience.
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 dog’s 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Villanova is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 October 2026, there are 9,658 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Villanova. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Villanova. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
