About: Hi! I’m Kaylee! I’m an animal lover who has more than plenty experience caring for dogs and other pets. I love bonding with animals through playtime, cuddles, and filling their bellies. It’s always my top priority to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s dog sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, walks, or playtime, I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’m excited to provide dependable and loving care for your furry family members! I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. Always reliable and available on short notice! i am free anytime of the week, and weekends, i have a lot of time for your fur babies and i can guarantee their safety, im very alert and conscientious of my surroundings. i have a fenced yard and a pool and lounging area out back of my yard, but i’d rather watch your fur babies at your home.
About: I have watched over many of my friends and families pets. The dogs I have watched in the past have been moderately large, and could be a bit wild at times but I was able to keep hold of the situation. I have also accompanied my family and friends when they had taken care of pets for other families. I had helped train a very wild pup for a friend, as well as a basic command which was sit. I absolutely love animals and even went to a program in high school for them. I am currently free during most times of the week. I am currently attending HCC, my classes being on Monday and Wednesday and do not stretch late into the day. I am very available to watch your pups or kitties! I can come during the mornings or evenings during the week depending on the day. I am also available to house sit. I care for them by learning their needs and wants first in their home. I understand every animal is unique and needs to be cared for in a way that works for them. I listen to the owner to ensure that everything will be safe and cared for in their absence.
“Christine was great with our dog. She made sure to follow all of our instructions and attended a meet n great to meet us and our dog. She was always communicative and sent updates/pictures while we were away. We loved having her stay with our dog!”
“Morgan saved our family vacation!! Our original pet sitter cancelled on us 3 days before we were set to leave for a week-long trip. Morgan responded to my late night booking request within minutes of submitting it and was willing to pet sit for us on such short notice. The meet & greet went great and she was so sweet with our large/giant breed dogs and our ancient cat. Throughout our week away, there was excellent communication and lots of pictures, with updates on how everyone was doing. Our giant boy doesn’t usually eat well when we’re away, but he ate just fine with Morgan! We came home to a clean house, happy and well cared for animals, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! We would absolutely rebook Morgan again for future trips and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of family and friends. I’ve been trusted to walk dogs, feed and care for cats and dogs, give lots of playtime and affection, and keep pets safe and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, mealtime routines, or just being a comforting presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, kind, and excited to meet your furry family member! I’m a college student home for the winter, and I’m available any time — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule is wide open, so I’m flexible and happy to work around what your pet needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I’m here all summer to help! I care for every pet with lots of love, attention, and patience. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable — whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or just sitting quietly with them if they’re shy. I believe every pet deserves gentle, kind care that fits their unique personality.
“Damien is SUCH a fabulous human. The extraordinary care he gave towards my fur babies warmed my heart. He went out of his way to text me pictures and updates on how things were going. I absolutely plan on hiring him again! Thanks! Sarah”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kathleen! She came all the way from Maryland to Philadelphia to care for my dog, Rocco, over the past two weeks during Thanksgiving, and she was absolutely incredible. Every day, she sent me pictures of a happy and content Rocco, and it was clear he was in the best hands. I left Kathleen with multiple pages of instructions, and she followed everything to the letter. Not only did she take phenomenal care of Rocco, but she also left my home spotless. I’m almost hesitant to write this review because Kathleen is such a gem that I don’t want anyone else to book her up before I can. She’s truly amazing, and I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”

I have experience with working with animals who have anxiety snd other behavioral concerns should that be a need. I have flexibility in my schedule as I am a local college student. I am currently a part time employee but have plenty of time to attain to the needs or your pets! I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays as well as any other service you may need!

About: I’ve have always had a dog & cats since I was a child. I love all pet cuddles! And meeting new friends. I have one dog and two cats at the moment. I've dog sat for my friends and coworkers when they need someone to be with their babies for nights away or random drop ins to check on them. I'm looking for a fun way to make extra money and i couldn't think of anything better then spending time with dogs & cats while doing that. I work four days a week but it’s flexible! I’m available everyday after 2pm and if I have a good enough heads up I’m available 24/7 I can give you references of people I have house/pet sat for in the past. I’m comfortable crating your pet if needed. I’m easily available on my cell phone when I am pet sitting. And I can send updates whenever you would like.
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all ages my entire life. I like to focus on making sure your dogs are comfortable when you are away. It can be a hard adjustment for both pet and owner to be separated, but I’m here to make everything easier! I’m currently working part time and am working on an online degree, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I have a large fenced in yard and a large home for the dogs to play and roam. Dogs are family in my house and are allowed on couches and beds. Water is always out in the open and access to the yard is freely given (unless otherwise specified). I try to play with the dogs and give each and every one special attention.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life. They have quite the personality and I’m experienced with indoor and outdoor cats. I respect schedules and cleanliness standards. I’ve taken care of friends and family’s animals on too many to count occasions. I work until 5 so I’m available in the evening and overnight. I will discuss routines and temperaments with you and do whatever you need me to do. I act as a friend while you’re away. I stick to feeding and walking schedules. I clean up behind your animal and myself. I speak with love we have fun.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aikin
Erica was truly beyond incredible—hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had for our two golden retrievers. From the moment we left, it was clear how genuinely loving and attentive she was; our dogs absolutely adored her. She went far above and beyond by sending frequent photo updates (without being asked), which gave us so much peace of mind and showed just how happy and comfortable they were. She stayed with them nearly the entire time, treating them like her own, and it made all the difference. You can’t fake that level of care—it was obvious in every interaction and update. We would recommend Erica to anyone without hesitation and will 100% be using her again.
Chandler and Bryan did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Spinach. We were able to go on vacation with peace of mind that he was in good hands. We really appreciated the daily report and picture. We missed our boy but it made traveling much easier knowing that he was able to stay in our home with someone we trusted and he felt comfortable with.
Leaving our dog, Coco, for a week is never easy—especially since he requires extra care—but Kayla made the entire experience so much easier. She stayed in our home, kept his routine consistent, and handled all of his medications and supplements with great attention and care. Knowing Coco was able to remain in his own environment while being looked after so thoughtfully gave us real peace of mind. Kayla was dependable, communicative, and genuinely compassionate, which truly showed in how well Coco was cared for. We’re incredibly grateful for the level of care she provided and would absolutely trust her again. We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
This as our third time using Suzann in a short period of time. I cannot say enough about her. I was having surgery and needed her on short notice. Suzann was very accommodating in meeting our needs. If you need a house/pet sitter you can count on, contact Suzann.
Carly was great. Stayed an overnight with our four dogs and was amazing. She came to the house twice to do a meet and greet. One of ours has an issue getting to know people. Carly was super patient with him and by the end of the first visit he was in love with her. Highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Aikin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Aikin on Rover is $40 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,215 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aikin. 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 Aikin 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 Aikin 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 Aikin 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 Aikin. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
