“We are new to the country and Rover app . Therefore had fair share of doubts with regard to leaving our pet Madder . Our experience with Emma has rested all our doubts. Her skills, smiling and affable demeanor instantly lifted our spirits and our confidence bounced right back. Emma updated us with pics and videos of our pet and her reassuring words made our day out, stress free and delightful. We look forward to her services again. Thank you Emma and team Rover .”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life (basset hound and dachshund mix) and now a yellow lab! I just moved back to Bucks County from Arlington, VA where I walked two dogs consistently (on the side of my corporate job). I also volunteered at a dog shelter where I would take dogs out for short fosters, which I loved! I did both of those things for about a year. I’m comfortable administering medication and making dogs feel safe and at home. My sister’s dog—dachshund mix—is very anxious and reactive and my lab is 133 pounds and full of energy, so I have seen a lot! I am currently in-between jobs and not entirely sure what the future holds as I take a break from corporate America, but I hope that doesn’t stop you from requesting my services. With that being said, my schedule is flexible! I would love to find dogs to take care of/walk regularly, but I am also open to sporadic drop-ins. For the foreseeable future, I will be taking a class in North Wales on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays, 10am-12:15pm but I can walk/tend to before and after. *As you can see, I change my hair cut a lot. Right now I’m rocking a blonde buzz cut. (Who knows what’s next!) I am committed to keeping your dog safe, happy, and comfortable. I will pay attention on sidewalks and around other animals, people, and cars. One of my dogs is reactive, as I mentioned, and can nip, so I am familiar with holding him back to keep everyone safe. On the other hand, my 133 pound lab wants to say hi to everyone, and I recognize that not everyone likes that, so I am also familiar with keeping him back. When visiting homes, I am respectful by staying in the designated space I am welcome, taking shoes off if doing a visit, and not meandering around. I have experience having possession of a key with past clients and am very responsible with it! I contacted my past clients through another app, but if I had their phone numbers I would ask for a testimonial! I’ve also worked with an older dog that needed diapers! If there is anything I haven’t mentioned but is a need for you, feel free to ask. I am more than willing to learn. 😃
“Wendy is the best! She cares for our dog & cats more than anyone and we trust her to give them the best care. We can’t say enough good things about her attention to detail and her love for animals.”
“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Devyn was over and beyond with my dog Teddy! She was prompt, answered my texts in a timely manner and most of all was so kind to Teddy!! Devyn left my home better than I left it! When I got home Teddy was content, happy to see me but not stressed at all. We are so grateful to find Devyn as a pet sitter💖”
“3 dogs, 2 cats, dozens of pond fish, plants demanding attention -- Brian took care of it all! Our dogs can be wary of newcomers and Brian was able to win them over in little time. We felt very confident leaving so much in Brian's hands and he didn't disappoint. We even came home after almost 2 weeks to a clean and tidy house. We will definitely be using Brian in the future!”
“Justine did a wonderful job caring for our dog for the first time on two overnight stays. Our 10-year old pup is very anxious with rain and storms, and Justine made sure she was comfortable while we were away. Our dog also takes time to warm up to new people, and Justine was very patient with her, coming to visit several times before our trip to make sure the stay went smoothly. We will definitely call her again if we need someone to watch or walk our dog at our house!”

“Aliyah was an amazing sitter for my dog! She came right on time, asked a ton of questions to best care for my dog. My dog loved her from the minute she got into our home. She was so kind and attentive to him and eased all our worries about leaving him! She sent lots of photos and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bonnie was absolutely incredible! She’s reliable, sweet, and has such great energy, and she treated our pup so well. We have a senior pup with cancer and recently moved to NJ, so I was really stressed about leaving the country. In Clyde’s 13 years, we had only ever left him with family, but we ended up needing care for him last minute. Bonnie went above and beyond to make sure Clyde was taken care of the whole time we were away, and she was amazing from the start. She sent updates, pictures, and videos, which meant the world to us and helped me feel so much less anxious about being far from my pup. Her love for animals shines through in the way she cared for him. We’re so happy we found Bonnie and look forward to using her again! What a relief as a pet parent to know your animal is in great hands while you’re away. That’s truly priceless. I highly recommend booking Bonnie for pet care. Thank you for everything, Bonnie!! 💕”
“We are so lucky to have Kelly!! We return home from each trip to happy pets and a clean house! Thank you Kelly, we appreciate your flexibility, especially with our last minute travel adjustments! Cheers!!”

“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”

About: I have been neighbor hood babysitter and pet sitter since I was 8 years old. Always be responsible and trustworthy. Treat your property and pets as if they were my own. Animals can't speak for themselves so we must be their voice. I work for myself and have flexible schedule. My business is slow right now an I love animals so it will help me cope an offer best care for those who want the best for their loved pets! Animals are the world to me wish I could have more but I rent. I am allowed to have animals over for few days at a time as long as it's not permanent. Perfect for everyone as your pets will be loved as much if not more then expected. I am a serious animal lover and the care I provide will be noticed. Sometimes people say their dogs not friendly yet ends up loving me regardless of what they say or have experienced with other. Kinda like snow white when it comes to all animals. Recently got 2 rabbits who were dumped and new experience. Amazing to love such small creatures

Justine did a wonderful job caring for our dog for the first time on two overnight stays. Our 10-year old pup is very anxious with rain and storms, and Justine made sure she was comfortable while we were away. Our dog also takes time to warm up to new people, and Justine was very patient with her, coming to visit several times before our trip to make sure the stay went smoothly. We will definitely call her again if we need someone to watch or walk our dog at our house!
Rachel was wonderful with Daisy! She was very sweet, clearly cared about her, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. I especially appreciated the daily updates — it gave real peace of mind knowing Daisy was happy and well cared for. Would definitely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alexauken
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,118 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alexauken. 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 Alexauken 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 Alexauken 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 Alexauken 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alexauken. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
