“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Faith was wonderful with our pup! She was very communicative, sent pictures, and kept Evie company whole we were out for late night plans. We will definitely book her again.”
“I cannot recommend Catherine enough! As someone using the Rover app for the first time, I was a bit nervous about leaving my two pups, but Catherine made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She kept me updated and put my mind completely at ease while I was away. What truly sets Catherine apart is how she goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. One of my dogs requires daily medication, and Catherine handled it with such diligence and patience, ensuring she never missed a dose. It is such a relief knowing my pets were in such capable, loving hands. She is wonderful with both of them, and I’m so grateful I found her!”
“Roxanne is very reliable and took excellent care of Pua while we were away on vacation. Having her staying in the house gave us peace of mind because it was comforting to Pua, we knew meals and meds were administered as prescribed, and also helpful for us to have someone keeping an eye on our home. We loved receiving photos and video of Pua every day from Roxanne. We could relax, knowing that Pua and Roxanne were bonding and keeping to her normal schedule.”
“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”
“Bahiyyah was great. She took such wonderful care of my puppy and older cat. She did an amazing job keeping up with the puppy and exercising her. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my girls. Highly recommend Bahiyyah if you're looking for a patient and kind sitter.”
“We’ve used Bill several times to watch our pup, Lincoln and he’s been fabulous every time. He communicates, sends cute photo updates and takes care of the house for us when we’re gone. Would use him again and recommend him to anyone that would like a reliable pet sitter for their pets! Thank you, Bill!”
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”
“Paz was very thoughtful in her care of our pets while we were away. She took careful notes about all of our animals needs and communicated well with us while we were away. It was awesome that she shared a lot of cute moments of our pets when we were missing them. We highly recommend her :)”
“Kathy did a great job watching our two dogs. It became very apparent right away how loving she is with dogs and our dogs clearly responded in kind. Kathy kept our house very clean and we would definitely recommend her as a trusted sitter for your pet in the safety and familiarity of your home.”
“Jean was an absolute savior this last week! I had a last minute need for someone to come and stay with my dogs for 10 days, and I felt so lucky to find someone. And to top it off, she was the perfect pet/house sitter, too! She kept me in the loop everyday. The dogs loved her. Plus, when I got home late last night, the house was immaculate! Such a dream. I will use her over and over again!”
“Kristina was amazing! She kept us updated on Nike, Bandit, and Fin, and we came back to a super clean home with happy pups! She’s very responsible, she showed up to the meet and greet right on time, and the dogs took to her right away. We will absolutely be asking her to babysit again in the future.”
“Really cared for the cats, great communicator, and kind person! It was so nice to go away knowing the cats would not only be cared for but they would be cuddled and loved! Could not recommend her more!!”
“Abigail is an excellent house sitter. She is trustworthy and dependable. She took wonderful care of our two kitties, one of whom is an 18 year old senior. Abigail provided us with updates and pictures of our cats. I highly recommend Abigail as a house sitter with no hesitation.”
“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 :)”
“Raquel is a delight. She is warm and responsible. Listens carefully to all instructions for watching your beloved pet and follows through. I recommend her without reservation!!”
About: I've taken care of, dogs all my life, ranging from puppies to seniors. Friends and family have counted on me watching their pets when they are away or need a quick walk/play. I have a flexible work schedule where I can work from home or be on the road(local) so your pet will not be alone for a few hours max. I am open to watching a dog over nights and weekends. I have a partially fenced in yard that I can block an exit. If I am watching at my home I will have them on leash in the back yard and be outside playing with them. My home is Located in Conshohocken so it is very walkable on the streets and have easy access to the Schuylkill River Trail. I live across from a park where I am able take your dog for a long walk as well. When I watch at a clients home I am respectful, clean, and make sure I leave it better than when I arrived.
About: All of my friend’s pets love me! It’s easy for me to match their energy and help them forget that their favorite people aren’t home, you! I currently work full time but my schedule allows for me to stop by the house twice a day. I start work at 11am in the city, so depending where you live, I usually leave for my commute around 10am. My day ends at 7pm, then I head right to your pets from there. I never leave without playtime, unless they are really shy but I’m persistent. If my schedule works for you I would love to keep your pets company. I have a baseball field down the street from me that your pets can run wild in. During the week there’s no one there in the morning and it’s fenced in. Your cat will have plenty of toys and areas to roam free in my house.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Allgates is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allgates
Abby was fantastic, as always! She stayed at our house for 10 days with our two pups. She took both dogs on walks daily, administered medication, and expertly cleaned our hound dog’s gross ears! She went above and beyond by cuddling with both dogs at night and making their days feel as normal as possible :) Great communication throughout the stay. She took great care of our house. Very happy to have found a great sitter.
Kristina and her daughter were wonderful! They. Were very attentive and communicated through out their stay. I was very nervous leaving the dogs as usually they stay with family but Kristina put our worries at ease and everything went great! Would highly recommend!
Maggie was lovely. It turned out that she didn't actually stay with our dog because I had to cancel (since our dog was sick and I decided to stay home), but during the meet-and-greet I could tell that she was calm, comfortable, friendly, experienced, and responsible.
Dion was a wonderful pet sitter! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. My dog loved her immediately. She took excellent care of my pup (and bird) and I think my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. She was communicative and sent lots of pics. I would give her 100 stars if I could.
Claudia was great. She stayed with our Westie over a long weekend when we were away. She has a lovely personality and was a pleasure to work with from the initial contact through a meet-and-greet and then the weekend. She was punctual, paid close attention to information about our dog's routine, asked good questions, and kept us informed. We returned to a tidy house and a happy pup. Highly recommend.
Morgan did a great job watching our puppy for a weekend! Juni can be nervous and fearful of new people, Morgan came for a meet and greet, learned about her routine and asked good questions. She was responsive when we reached out to check in, and Juni seems to have warmed up to her very quickly! We are so grateful to have found Morgan!
Kevin is an incredibly warm-hearted and caring person! We hired him to stay with our 10 year old dog and 6 year old cat in our home for 5 nights. Our dog is not an easy customer. She’s quite anxious and she generally distrusts all strangers, but Kevin was able to win over her heart and shower her with love and affection! He sent pictures and videos each day, and we were so comforted to know our pets were happy and thriving under his care and feeling safe in the familiar surroundings of their own home. Kevin took excellent care of our pets and the house, and we would absolutely hire him again in the future!
Yasmine is the best! I am very particular about my house and my dog, and I know I’m not super easy to deal with. But Yasmine followed every details. She took care of Milo with care and compassion. She sent pictures and updates. You won’t regret asking her to be with your fur babies!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Allgates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Allgates on Rover is $79.55 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,563 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allgates. 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 Allgates 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 Allgates 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 Allgates 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 Allgates. 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.
