“Nicole and Steve did an amazing job looking after our Zona! We were away for a weekend and wanted someone who can stay at our place, since our dog is a senior with poor vision. Zona felt really comfortable with them. Nicole updated us daily with pictures. Her experience with animals made us feel at ease and we knew Zona is in good hands. We came back home to a happy dog and a clean house. Nicole and Steve are great and we will definitely use their help in the future!”
About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.
“Abhay was quick to respond and took great care of my parent's 2 dogs and 2 cats. One of the dogs required 2x daily medicine and Abhay was sure to let us know that he was taking it and keeping him healthy. He was also responsible when it came to the heat wave that was happening while he was watching the pets and still ensured the dogs got plenty of exercise! Thank you Abhay.”
“Lindsey was great! Her communication was clear and her replies were prompt. She stayed overnight for 2 nights and took very good care of our German Shepherd, Max, while we were away. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a sitter for your furry friend!”
About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.
“We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!”
“We recently went on vacation and had the absolute pleasure of entrusting Hannah with the care of our pup. From start to finish, she provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for in our home. Daily updates, including photos and messages, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy, relaxed, and receiving plenty of attention. Hannah followed all our instructions perfectly, kept our home neat and tidy, and left everything just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we have already booked with Hannah again for later this month. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter, look no further—Hannah is the best!”
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“I was overwhelmed by how much my dogs enjoyed spending time with Brian ("Barry"). When I arrived home after a short trip, they were completely bonded to him and wouldn't leave his side. I loved the daily pictures of my two dogs. They were so well cared for and actually smiled for the photos. Barry kept in touch frequently to let me know that all was well. Shelby and Luke loved going out for walks with him. He kept my home safe and spotless, and my gang was in absolute heaven spending time by his side. I very much hope that I can have him stay again if ever needed. He is a gentle and highly responsible pet sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine exactly, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I’m attentive to their needs, quick to notice changes in behavior, and always focused on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently have open availability through September. I work at an elementary school, so once the school year begins, I’m typically available after 6 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m also happy to communicate with pet owners and work around their schedules whenever possible. While caring for your pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to playtime routines and any special needs. I always keep their environment clean, provide fresh water, and give plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to make each pet feel at home, no matter where they are.
“Lindsey was fantastic with our dogs and cat! Our pets felt so comfortable with her and so did I. She was really responsive and kept us updated with great photos throughout the day. We will definitely be using her again in the future and we will 10/10 recommend her and rover to our friends and family.”
“Catherine was awesome - we had 3 pups under her watch and all were looked after great (walked, fed, and played with) and had a fun. They were tired when we got back, so we know they enjoyed it!”
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of dogs over the years and i have my own dog as well. I love them and i’ll take care of them like they are mine 💖 I work from home so i’ll be here to incorporate whatever schedule your dog may have. How many walks and feeds you would like i can provide that. I live in an apartment but i have a park near me where i can take your dog for a walk. I can also take the dog to a dog a park if you prefer. I have a dog in the house but she is small and very friendly with other dogs.
“Pamela was amazing! She accepted a last-minute booking to watch Willie Nelson, and we are so grateful. She arrived right on time, kept us updated throughout, and was so communicative and thoughtful. Willie was happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell he was well cared for. We’d book Pamela again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Animals love me and I love them. I don’t have any pets at this time and would love to help care for yours. I’m currently self employed and create my own schedule which is very flexible. I have plenty of free time to care for pets. No worries for frequent potty trips. My home has a fenced in yard so perfect for playtime. Lots of birds and squirrels parading around for amusement. Very comfortable and reliable to come to your home as well.
“Avery was great watching our dog Luna at our home! She arrived punctually and kept our puppy happy and healthy! The house was perfectly clean when we arrived back from our trip and Luna was very happy! Could not recommend more highly!”
“Isabelle made me feel really comfortable going through this process, the first time using a rover house sitter. She took great care of Bonnie, sent lots of pics and updates, and left my home so clean and tidy!! Will definitely be requesting Isabelle again, and so should you!!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
Isabella was so great with our pup. She communicated regularly, sent photos often, gave him his meds, and took care of our house while we were away. She is also very kind and easy to talk too. We felt at ease with her watching chubbs and will use her again for sure!
Kelly was awesome. From our initial meet and greet to her pupsitting at our home for a few days, the process couldn’t have been any better. Communication was 100%. From the fun photos Kelly sent daily, we could tell our pups were so happy. We have 3 pups and 2 have special needs and she nailed it! We felt totally comfortable and will use Kelly’s service again.
Rebecca and James were the best with Tolstoy! They were so kind, attentive, and thorough. I would recommend them to anyone. We were sent tons of pictures and videos with very detailed information about his day. He had the time of his life! They were very accomodating to his active lifestyle and loved on him a lot. I could tell he was well cared for and as happy as was possible with us away. They are just genuine dog people who will really understand your dog's personality and preferences.

FAQs for House Sitting - Abington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Abington on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,065 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Abington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Abington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Abington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Abington 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
