“If I could give Alexandra 10 stars, I would! She is amazing! This was the first time Alex took care of my cats and my very shy kitty came out and let Alex pet her… that itself is amazing! Alex kept both of my kitties feeling so loved and entertained that they didn’t come dashing for the door like they usually do after I’ve been away! I highly recommend Alex, I cannot say enough positive things about her!”
“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.”
“Ashley was AMAZING! She followed all of my directions to a tee and left everything spotless. I especially appreciated the detailed updates after each check-in and the adorable photos. Those really helped ease my anxiety about leaving my baby girl. When I got home, Mazzy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would 100% hire Ashley again. She was the best!”

“Mykelle did a wonderful job watching our puppy (walking, feeding and administering medication) when we were away for a long weekend. When I first contacted her, she was extremely responsive and we had a meet and greet right away to confirm the dog sitting job. Our puppy Cora really liked her too. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures and excellent communication. Mykelle completely put me at ease as this was the first time that we had been away from our puppy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

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 doesn’t do well in a new environment; I am happy to provide them with everything they’d need in a place where they feel the most comfortable!
“Ulku and Andy are incredibly patient and very easy to communicate! They took great care of my dog, and I know I can always trust them to take her on walks when I’m away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from judgy chihuahuas to laid-back Bernese mountain dogs. I’ve taken care of them from their playful puppy days through their senior years. I’m patient, experienced, and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, and I’m here for all of it! I currently work full-time (9am–5pm, Monday through Friday), but I’m flexible and happy to coordinate with your schedule to make sure your baby gets the care they need! I prioritize safety and trust by keeping open, honest communication. As long as you fill me in on any quirks, meds, or non-negotiables, I’ll keep things running just how they like it. And if anything feels off or out of my league, I’ll be honest, because your dog’s safety is way more important than winging it!
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Villanova is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villanova
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!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
