About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who turned my passion into a professional career. I have over 4 years of experience as an independent pet sitter, specializing in the care that requires an extra level of attention and expertise. Whether your pet is a playful kitten or a beloved senior, I treat every animal like family. My background is specifically focused on Senior & Disabled Care: Supporting older pets with mobility issues or specialized routines. Medical Management: Confident and experienced in administering oral medications, injections, and following strict medical protocols. Lifetime of Experience: I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I’m deeply in tune with pet body language and needs. I want to provide the best care possible while staying accessible! Please note: To cover transit time and costs, any bookings located 5miles or further from 19146 will incur a travel fee of 5$ I work from home so I can pet sit, walk, or check in on your fur babies whenever needed. including overnight or for more than one day. I have a lot of experience with all sorts of animals from runners and behaviorally challenged to disable and senior animals I dont do sittings at my house but i'm looking into taking daycares for eligible animals! I do not do boarding all daycares are held in public usually along trails or at local dog parks!

“Natalie helped with our last minute request. When she came for a meet and great, our dog took to her right away. Our dog acted like she’d known her for years! I highly recommend Natalie!!”
“Danielle is a wonderful pet sitter who took superb care of Java while I was away. Last minute, Java was prescribed medicine and Danielle was able to give Java his meds without problem while I was gone. My heart felt at ease with Java in Danielle’s care!”
“Daphne cared four my cat Eloise every day for over a month (mid August to mid September) while I was traveling and I can’t express how kind and thoughtful she was the whole time. Excellent care and communication, and I felt like a friend/family member was doing the job the whole time. She goes the extra mile and it shows! I’d love to have her back in the future!”
“Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Sofia 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!”
“Jacob was very kind and caring. This was my first time using rover and he was a great first experience. He kept me super updated every visit, left lengthy recaps, and took so many pictures each drop in. He made sure to update me on the status of the food, litter, water etc. Would book again.”

Jamie was amazing. She was able to give meds to my very old cat and my dog loved her. I messed up and left the wrong key for Jamie to get in, and she was so responsive and ended up coming back an hour after we figured out a way for her to get in. She sent updates daily and was the most punctual and responsible petsitter I have found on Rover. Thank you Jamie!
Joanna is amazing!!! She took such good care of my two cats while I was overseas. I have a very shy Siamese mix who typically takes awhile to warm up to newcomers and she took to Joanna almost immediately, I’ve never seen her be so affectionate with someone other than me! I think Joanna must be a cat whisperer! She’s incredibly attentive and communicative, and it was so reassuring knowing my girls were in good hands. She made my trip much less stressful! I highly recommend her for any pet owner!
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 for Pet Sitting in Villanova on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,714 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Villanova. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Villanova stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. 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.
