“Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)”
About: I have been taking care of neighborhood and family dogs since I was 13 years old. I have done weekly walks, overnight stays, and check-ins. I volunteered weekly in a puppy training class for four years, so I am experienced in puppy behavior, safe play, and healthy training information. My family fostered dogs on and off for about a year, and even though I am the youngest, I have always been the primary pet caretaker. As a full-time college student, I'll be fully available starting in mid-May through mid-August. I hope to have dogs be a part of my everyday, so I will be available whenever possible. In jobs I've had, I spend hours at the client's house giving quality time and care to the dog(s). I give long walks, long cuddles, and I'm sure to meet each individual dog's needs (i.e. anxious, playful, mischievous). Apart from drop-ins and stays, hypoallergenic dogs are also welcome to stay at my house where they will receive the same care plus extra love from my family. I am always 100% focused on the dog while with them and avoid distractions. Really, I just want the dogs to feel loved and the clients to feel that their dog is in good hands.
“Olivia was wonderful with our fur baby, Penny (a high energy, sometimes bitey Jack Russell Terrier). Olivia checked in on, feed and walked Penny a Thursday when we were gone for most of the day and stayed in our home overnight from Saturday to Sunday when we were away. She checked in with us and sent pictures often. Penny was happy and relaxed when we came home. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Olivia and would definitely book her again. 😀”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“William is a great house and pet sitter. My babies were still miffed at me when I came home but adjusted overnight. I know they were in good hands with William so I did not have to be anxious while I was away for almost 2 weeks. He left my house in good order and even washed some towels and bed linens. I believe he is very responsible and trustworthy and he sent me WhatsApp messages with photos while I was in Europe.”
“Misha was great! We could tell that our dogs were as good as ever when we got back - they were very well taken care of, even with our feeding routine, which is a little bit out of the ordinary. She spent a lot of time hanging out at the house with the dogs, which is what we really want for them when we are gone for a few days, and knowing they had company made it much easier for us to enjoy our getaway. We never needed to worry about them at all. We would love to have Misha stay with our babies again in the future!”
“Ashley is a phenomenal sitter! She took outstanding care of both my dog and my house, and Pebble absolutely loved her. Ashley communicated the perfect amount and shared wonderful pictures throughout the sit. Highly recommend!”
“Val did an awesome job watching our two large dogs at our house for an extended period! It was clear that she really cared and spent lots of timing playing with them and making them feel loved. She kept us updated with details of how the dogs were doing and shared lots of pictures so that we never worried. Val also went above and beyond in keeping the house in tidy shape and making sure that everything was in order when we returned from our trip. She will absolutely be our first call for all of our future pup sitting needs!”
“Shannon was terrific. She loved the dogs and the dogs loved her. Our pack is a bit challenging at times and she embraced their quirks. Thank you, Shannon!!”
“Rocco took to Sky immediately for our first meeting. That's how I knew I could trust them. They took such good care of him and Mitzi. Thank you for watching my babies, especially during the terrible air quality! Will book again if you'll have me.”
About: I grew up with two dogs, and now I’m a cat mom to two cats. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel that your babies are safe and well cared for. That’s something I always keep in mind when caring for other people’s pets, too.I love keeping you updated with plenty of photos and videos. And yes, I love taking LinkedIn-worthy portraits of every furry baby! I work part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m organized and like to plan ahead, so the earlier you book, the easier it is for me to fit in pet care. I can easily make time daily or weekly for feeding, walks, and plenty of cuddles. I always prioritize safety and comfort for pets. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure and pet-friendly—doors and windows are properly closed, hazardous items are out of reach, and pets have plenty of space to move around. I follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and reassurance to help them feel calm and happy. I’m careful to respect any special instructions or medical needs, and I keep open communication with the owner to ensure peace of mind.
“Quanece and Malik did such a great job watching our dog penny! Since we moved to Philly we had barely left, due to not having a trusted dog sitter. They took amazing care of our dog, left us multiple updates a day, and they left our house absolutely immaculate. We already have them scheduled for another trip this month and will continue to be repeat customers!”
“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”
“Dana took wonderful care of my pup Atticus while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and texts the whole time so I knew Atticus was in good hands. Dana and Atticus clicked right away, even though Atticus can sometime be weary of new people. Atticus definitely got lots of exercise and attention while I was away, and I was happy to see him smiling when I got home. I would highly recommend Dana!!!”
“Margo was such a good sitter. She came and met my pup the day before since they hadn’t met before. Took the time to ask all the questions on his habits, schedule, and medications. Even though I needed her pretty early in the morning she had no problems with being on time. The videos and pics throughout the day was a very nice touch.”
“Kaylah is an absolute gem! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive from start to finish. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and took such wonderful care of both our dog and cat while we were away. We especially appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the weekend. Knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us such peace of mind. She also took excellent care of our home, which made being away completely stress-free. It’s clear that Kaylah genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility of caring for them seriously. We came home to two very happy pets and a beautifully cared-for house. We would absolutely trust her with our babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ardmore
Jean is a dream and a God-send. My husband and I haven’t ever left our pup with anyone other than friends or family- and needed to get away for a few days. From the moment we had our meet and greet with Jean, we felt comfortable that she was ‘the one’. She texted us updates and pics… and even left our house cleaner than we left it! She’s capable, responsible, listens to your special needs and is just one of the best humans we could ask for.
Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)
not my first rover experience but the first as a homeowner which added a layer of trust needed on top of care for 2 senior dogs. olivia was wonderful and attentive to all the directions we left and took great care of both boys even with all their quirks. before leaving on the last day she went above and beyond to help secure the house during a nor'easter which was much appreciated. my only "feedback" is i hope she knows there's no such thing as TOO much puppy content when sending updates to crazy dog moms
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.
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.
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!
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.
Attentive, responsive, and great with my cats! I would definitely hire again. Danielle has a very nice demeanor that allows them to approach her easily. She took great care of my home and sent me updates with pics daily. I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of them.
Gianna was nothing short but awesome! She cared for Tink throughly and sent me updates on how she was during my time away. She was also very neat and clean person. I came back to my home without any issues at all. I plan to rebook her and encourage others to book her service as well!
Having Mikayla stay with our babes while we’re out of town has made our travels exponentially easier. Both radish and Ernie have fallen in love them, I think they may prefer them over us after their second stay. Will absolutely continue to book Mikayla for future stays!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ardmore is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Ardmore 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 Ardmore 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ardmore 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.
