“We really enjoyed having Dana come stay with our dog Lucy. Dana kept us updated and made us feel at ease about everything, and Lucy and he did great together. We have already booked our next time for Dana to come back.”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“Isaiah exceeds all my expectations for taking care of and staying with my dog at my house. He is responsible, provides regular updates including pictures, and treats Blitz as his own dog.”
“I trust Ally to take care of my baby because she reads his behavior and needs the same way I do. For example, when it’s super hot out she keeps his walks short and utilizes the pool and indoor activities to make sure my dog gets the exercise he needs! She’s naturally an amazing dog sitter!”
“Kendra was great!! We had to find a last minute back up option for our short trip and Kendra came to the rescue! She came over to our apartment and took detailed notes about our big guy and was very great with following up and sending us pictures while we were away! She staying the night and was awesome! Totally will use her again and recommend her to all! Thanks Kendra from my fiancé and I and of course Bubba!”
“Shannon saved us this weekend taking care of our cat and dog! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed Shannon at a moments notice and she so graciously cared for our animals and home all weekend. She was very communicative and both our animals loved her. Pretty sure my dog had the time of her life this past weekend. Would definitely recommend!”
“Hanna is amazing. She's super responsible, gave my pup loads of love and took great care of my house, including when the roof started leaking in the rain. She communicates as often as you want, sends adorable pictures and videos and asks questions if she's not sure of anything. My dog has already requested her again. I'll certainly hope she's available next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Great person and very reliable, our dogs loved her. She fed them, played, took for walks and cleaned up after. We were getting pictures and messages while we were away, it was such relief knowing that the puppies are safe and looked after. Will definitely using her services in the future. Thank you”
“Porsche was a top tier babysitter. She watched our fur children for a total of ten days and they loved her! Our reticent cat left her perch and would follow her around for pets! Porsche is definitely a pet whisper and her love of animals is clear in all of her interactions with them. Would 1000% want her to pet sit again.”
“When I come home after Hailey has stayed with Rosie, she is so chill and relaxed because she's with a friend and in her environment. It's like I never left -- except the house is super clean and neat! I always hope Hailey is available when I have a trip planned :)”
“Nikki was fantastic! She was very professional, detail-oriented, and clear, in addition to being friendly and warm. A rare combination! We felt like our dog was in excellent hands, and he did, too!”
“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”
“Our pets can’t wait until we go away again so Gabrielle can come over to play and hang out! Gabrielle was wonderful with communication — we received pictures and updates several times a day, and she asked questions as needed to ensure the dog and cats were well taken care of and happy. We will happily rebook with Gabrielle the next time we need help!”
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Alex was great! He followed all directions for caring for our dog overnight. He kept in communication with my spouse and myself and sent some wonderful pictures of our happy pup! I highly recommend Alex for any overnight dog sitting needs.”
“Mochi loves her and appeared very comfortable in the photos while she was petsitting him. She was also really respectful of my apartment and left it really nice. I will definitely book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
This was this was my first time using Rover. My dog unexpectedly went into heat and we had to make alternate plans for her care. Christian responded quickly and efficiently. We felt fully confident in leaving our dog with him, even though she was requiring additional care and Grooming due to her heat. I would absolute him again!
Angelina was very responsive. My 2 older dogs are super easy but we threw a puppy into the mix which I know can be challenging. She reached out with any questions. The house was neat and clean when we came home. She offered to stay if our flight home was delayed.
I trust Ally to take care of my baby because she reads his behavior and needs the same way I do. For example, when it’s super hot out she keeps his walks short and utilizes the pool and indoor activities to make sure my dog gets the exercise he needs! She’s naturally an amazing dog sitter!
1,000,000/5 stars for Jesse’s phenomenal job babysitting my energetic 2 year old pug!! I was in a pinch as a loved one unfortunately passed, leaving me on a time crunch to find a sitter for a funeral. My dog is recovering from eye surgery which initially made me nervous about putting him in someone else’s care. From other reviews, I could instantly tell that Jesse would be the perfect fit, and I could not be happier with the outcome! Jesse went above and beyond with excellent communication, punctuality, a positive attitude, and a relaxed demeanor. My dog and Jesse instantly got along, Jesse was ready to jump right in! I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands, an understatement. Jesse was so awesome that I’m thinking of planning some vacations, I won’t have to even think twice about who to go to for watching my little pup. I’m so happy that my dog has a new buddy and someone I can truly trust. I highly recommend his services and will be spreading the word. If you’re looking for a sitter, JESSE IS THE BEST!!!!!!
Allie was an exceptional dog sitter and took wonderful care of my diabetic dog while house sitting. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly comfortable managing medications and sticking to a strict schedule. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog and my home were in great hands. I would absolutely trust Allie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter, especially for pets with special medical needs.
What a gift to find someone who loves dogs as much as I do! Our pup, Flo, took to Tara instantly. The two of them hung out like old friends, watching the Phillies game together while Mom and Dad finally got a worry-free night out. It was a great relief knowing Flo was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. Tara has that special intuition with animals that you just can’t teach. We can’t wait to have her back! 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Abington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Abington on Rover is $66.6 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 5,548 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
