“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!”
“Katie is a phenomenal sitter and walker. We have 2 frenchies, one of which a recent rescue. She cared for them for a week and took such good care of them while we were gone. Both dogs just love her and became so sweet and comfortable with her. She checked in with us multiple times each day with pics and updates! She’s the perfect house guest, super helpful with small tasks like garbage and mail. Kept the house tidy while we were gone! She’s our go to for our pups!”
About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.
“Debra took exceptional care of our babies just like they were her own. When we came home they were so relaxed which is everything we hope for when we have to leave them. Thank you!!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our baby with Kathy. She took great care of our home and being able to leave Rosie in familiar surroundings made all the difference. Looking forward to doing it again soon!”
“Emilee is great! She did so well with our two pups. She was quick to respond to my inquiry, came out for a meet and greet, and was happy to meet us again before we left. She sent many pictures when we were away and we did not have to worry about our dogs at all while we were traveling. Our dogs aren’t always easy and we had no issues at all. I would definitely recommend and will be using Emilee again for sure ?”
“As a professional dog trainer, I often get asked by my clients if I could recommend a pet sitter. I have been hesitant to recommend a service for various reasons, until now. We recently went on a week's vacation and were looking for a pet sitter to stay with our active dog, Rocky. Not only did we need someone to stay at the house overnight with Rocky, I wanted someone who would also provide him with daily physical and mental exercise. We were so fortunate to have found Tim. From the first meet and greet visit with Rocky, I had a very good sense that Tim would be a good fit for Rocky. Tim did everything I requested, including daily walks/hikes - sometimes more than once a day, interacted with Rocky in play sessions, and made sure he received daily enrichment activities. In addition, Tim is a great communicator and sent me brief updates and photos of Rocky daily. And if all that isn't enough, Tim literally left our home cleaner than when we left. When clients ask me about pet sitters, Tim H will be at the top of the list!”
“Wonderful communication, responsiveness and care of pets and property. We love Alexis and our furry babies do too!! Thanks again for giving us peace of mind taking care of our babies :)”
“Joanna is a Godsend! We have booked with her for multiple walks as well as a week-long period of overnight stays while we were out of town, and she is absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of our pug, Tootsie, and I had complete peace of mind while we were away. She was very attentive to Tootsie’s routine, feeding and exercise needs, and she was great about sending regular updates, photos and videos. Her dog, Henry, who accompanied her on the overnight stays, was SO sweet and cute, and he got along great with our dog as well. In addition to being a 5-star pet sitter, Joanna is just a sweet, wonderful person in general and extremely accomplished as well, so she’s just a joy to know and so interesting to talk to! Highly recommend and we would request her services 100 times over :o)”
“Makayla was a wonderful sitter for our two labs. Her kindness, punctuality and dedication was evident. She kept us up-to-date with video clips and pictures of her stay at our house. I would highly recommend her and hope to request her services in the future.”
About: Hello! My name is Annie! It’s very nice to meet you! I am 26 years old and I graduated high school in 2018. I have been volunteering at a local dog rescue, To Love a Canine for about 7 years now as a dog handler!! I love working with animals! I have had dogs all my life actually! I currently don’t have any pets of my own, but I previously owned a black lab/ border collie mix named Abigail, although she passed in 2012 because of old age and unfortunately cancer. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope to hear from you soon! :) I currently volunteer as a crisis counselor with Crisis Text Line and I don’t have scheduled ‘shifts’ , (I do it when I can)! So, that being said, I am almost always available to dog sit or take your pupper on a nice long walk!! I always make sure your pet(s) are comfortable around/ with me first. I provide different services, such as walking your dog and doing drop-ins and sittings (days and/ or overnights)
About: I have three dogs of my own back at home, all boys, two small and one big, and they truly are my babies. I have always loved being around dogs and giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and company instead of just being left alone. I treat every dog like they are my own and want them to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Honestly, I have always said I love dogs more than people! I’m currently a second-year business marketing student at West Chester University. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the week. I have classes Monday through Thursday. Outside of class, I’m flexible and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs! I’ve always loved caring for dogs and currently have three of my own, two small boys and one big boy who are truly my babies! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with their everyday needs, including walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, care, and love that I give my own.
“We lucked out finding Tim for a late-requested house and dog-sitting. He was wonderful with our dog and very caring and respectful. We would recommend Tim and gladly rebook in the future.”
“Kyle was fantastic with our puppy. He is very kind, calm, and built a great bond with her right away. Even though our puppy is still quite energetic, he handled her confidently and kept her well engaged. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Lou was in great hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aldham
Bri was absolutely amazing with our two girls, Whiskey and Ginger. Super communicative and our girls ADORED her ❤️ We got at least daily updates with pics of the pups and you could just tell how at ease they were with her. Couldn’t imagine a better sitter for them, and will definitely be using Bri again if schedules align the next time we’re in need of sitter. Completely recommend!!!
Carly is a very gentle and kind person who took amazing care of our golden doodle. She kept us updated with photos and even took her for a little outing in the car; I had mentioned my doodle loves car rides. We highly recommend her services, we felt very safe leaving our doodle and home to her for the weekend.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Aldham is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $94 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
