“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly detailed and communicative throughout the entire stay, which made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them and their routines. She was always prompt, reliable, and honestly felt more like a friend than just a pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!!”
“Taylor is amazing with my dogs. Excellent communication, gentle with them when they were stubborn and showed care when they wouldn’t eat. I’m really grateful for her and how she cares for my precious pups and my home.”
“We are so happy we found Katie :) Our dogs loved her upon the initial meet and greet and she sent great pictures of all the animals looking relaxed and happy during the booked weekend overnight stay. We came back to everything in place and super clean! Will definitely book Katie again!”
“Dustin walks my dog daily, and this was his first time watching him at my place. He did an incredible job and is super flexible and easy to work with. My (giant) dog loves him, and he took great care of the place. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Bri, and I’m here for any dog walking or dog/cat sitting needs you may have :) I have been volunteering at the Philadelphia SPCA and other local shelters since 2020, where I spend time caring and socializing with animals, primarily dogs and cats. 🐶🐱 I also have experience with senior dogs and puppies! In addition to my volunteer experience, I have been watching and walking family & friends' pets since I was a teenager. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! I can provide walks/drop-ins whenever you need. Morning, afternoon, or evening, I’m here to help! I would love to have the opportunity to care for your pet(s). I treat every animal I take care of as if it were my own, with tons of love :) We’ll play, go for walks, lay in the sun, or whatever else makes your pup happy. I will schedule a meet and greet with you prior to your actual booking date(s) so I can meet you, your pet, and learn all that I need to do, so I’m prepared for each visit. I want to put you and your pet at ease so you know you’ll be in great hands.
“Kala stayed overnight with our two husky/shepherds and did a fantastic job! Our one dog can be slow to warm up to new people so I was nervous to leave her, but she took to Kala in no time which made me feel so much more at ease! Kala was professional, communicative, respectful of our home, followed all instructions, and was just generally on top of things. We so appreciate her thorough care!!”
About: I don’t have much professional pet care experience but I’ve had dogs of my own my entire life. I have experience training puppies to late stage of life senior dog care. Pet care is a 24/7 job for me. I’ve worked remotely since 2020 so my dogs were always a secondary task while I am home. Whether it’s taking a quick break to let the out, grab the a snack, or go for a walk on my lunch break. When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I take the time to understand your pet’s specific needs—from feeding schedules and walk routines to playtime, medications, and any special instructions.
“Makinzie was great! She was willing to help with an overnight weekend stay on really short notice. She took great care of my dog and was very communicative throughout. Would recommend and will book again.”
“Yujie is so kind and caring, and took such great care of our animals and our house while we were away. Our dog can be anxious with new people, but she felt comfortable with Yujie right away and was also so calm and happy when we returned from our trip as well! So glad to have found Yujie and we look forward to booking her again :)”
About: I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I work at a vet hospital and have experience working with different personalities in different environments. I am knowledgeable on medication and have experience medicating my own cats and dog. I have self taught training experience as well. I will take care of your fur babies like they are my own! I am currently working full-time 5am to 1pm M-F. I will have lots of afternoon availability for walks and to keep your fur babies company in their own home! I have 3 cats of my own and they are weary of other animals. I am more than willing to stay overnight at your house for pet sitting!
About: My family has always been an animal house; I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird! I also have been housesitting and petsitting dogs and cats for my neighbors since I was 12-13. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter (Main Line Animal Rescue) by going through dog walk orientation and worked with all sorts of dogs. I am excited to help others out and watch over their pets using my experience! I’m home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of free time! I am available for dog walking, housesitting, or overnight sitting during days of the week and also weekends. I make sure to always pay attention to each pet and see what they need according to what the owner needs (food, water, bathroom time, playtime, walks) and make sure to keep an eye on them, as well as adjusting to what they prefer - whether it be a lot of pets or just some company! I am experienced with walking a lot of different dogs and will give them plenty of love and attention.
“PHENOMENONAL...we were out of options and turned to rover.com to find a sitter for our fur babies. After the first day of updates and photos we received from Tabor we were at ease. Tabor stayed with our animals and took care of them as if they were his own. Highly recommend him if you need a sitter or any kind.”
“Rachel did an amazing job in our home! Sent daily updates and pictures of hazel, took our energetic lab on walks and was very respectful of our home, she left it just as we did when we left for vacation.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Aldham is $55

We used Abigail over 4th of July weekend and she was great about giving our dogs medication on time and helping them stay calm through the fireworks and thunderstorms. It was our second time using Abigail and she's been fantastic both times. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated throughout the day on how our boys were doing.
Abbi was a great help house sitting for our dog and cat. She was thorough during our meet and greet and was patient learning all about our pets! She provided great updates while we were away and made us feel at ease. Will happily book her again for future house sitting needs!
It’s obvious that Sophia has spent a lot of time with dogs. We’ve only left our dog with with family but Sophia can’t and has instant rapport with our dog and us. While missing or dog very much we were comfortable that our dog was given great care and lots of an attention. Truly a professional with great communication. I highly recommend Sophia.

FAQs for House Sitting - Aldham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Aldham on Rover is $72.15 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 5,672 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aldham. 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 Aldham 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 Aldham 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 Aldham 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 Aldham. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
