“Marian was great with our 2 senior dogs! Marian took the time to meet with the dogs twice before our trip and this made all the difference! We have a totally blind, very nervous, dog but I trusted Marian's expertise with animals. Our house was just as we left it and our pups were perfectly content when we got home.”

“Shannon saved us this weekend taking care of our cat and dog! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed Shannon at a moments notice and she so graciously cared for our animals and home all weekend. She was very communicative and both our animals loved her. Pretty sure my dog had the time of her life this past weekend. Would definitely recommend!”
“This is our second time using Nikki for our anxious dog and she was great! Our dog seemed to warm up to her immediately, she sent regular updates, and left our house spotless. It can be really nerve-wracking having a stranger watch your pet/stay in your house but we have no concerns about Nikki at all. She is definitely our new go to dog sitter, highly recommend!”
“Kate watched our anxious pup Peanut for a long weekend, staying in our home. She did an amazing job making him (and us) so comfortable. She was very flexible with meeting him in advance and getting to know his routine and quirks. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our home was exactly as it was when we left - she was incredibly neat! I would absolutely recommend Kate and we will certainly be using her in the future!”
“Rae was amazing! We had a some stuff change and she was great! Our dog Chase loved her and her daughter!! Rae sent a bunch of pics of Chase who looked super happy!! She even watered my flowers which I was so grateful for!! Esp bc she found some still in pots I forgot to plant! Def give her a 5 star!! And use her again!”

“Ari is incredible. He is patient and kind and obviously cares a great deal for the pets he sits for. He went above and beyond and, most importantly, gave us peace of mind that Toby was in great hands while we were away. 10/10”
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.
About: I was the driving force for my family to get a puppy and I was his primary caretaker along with my little sister for years. I worked hard to house train him and teach him basic commands. And before he came into our lives, I took every chance to walk and care for the dogs of my friends and family. Looking forward to expanding my experience with your pup! I work remotely, doing data analysis and design, so I can and do work practically anywhere. Your crew will get all the attention and care they need! I’m never too busy for a belly rub or walk! My own pup that I grew up with really trained ME to know when to go for walks and when to play. So much so, that I find myself taking him out before his scheduled walks so we can both get some fresh air and exercise. He also instilled a diligence to make sure food and fresh water are always available!
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals including cats, dogs, turtles, mice, guinea pigs, parrots, and fish. Today, I am a proud pet parent to three furry babies of my own: two cats and one anxious ChiPoo rescue. Raising an anxious pup has taught me how to provide the patient, gentle care that sensitive pets need to feel safe. Over the years, I have cared for many neighborhood and family pets. This includes hands-on experience with administering medication, maintaining strict walking routines, and carefully managing animals that don't get along with others. I am dedicated to giving your pets all the love they deserve while strictly respecting their unique boundaries and routines I'm currently in between jobs and schooling. My availabity is very open on weekdays and varies on weekends. Mostly in the Manayunk-Roxborough larger area, but willing to travel further for longer commitments. I provide reliable, patient supervision tailored directly to your pet’s unique medical or routine requirements. Whether managing active play or comforting an anxious pet, safety and trust are always my main focus.
“Barb was AMAZING! My dog is typically SO scared of strangers to the point where she doesn't let you get near her. Barb had Layla on a leash and out walking in no time! Layla (dog) and Henry (cat) both slept with her every night. It was such a comfort knowing they were being taken care of so well. Layla also has a somewhat complicated regimen of medicine with her food and that was no issue at all. I will definitely book with her again! Thank you thank you!”
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“We have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasn’t a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!”
About: I've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ardsley is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ardsley
Kristina was absolutely awesome in sitting at our home for our Yorkie, Snickers. She sent us pictures and updated us throughout the experience and even took care of our Koi fish as well as left our home in the same way as we left it, and it even appeared cleaner! She is reliable and trustworthy and would recommend her to anyone who needs sitting in their home. I would use her again!
Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!
This was this was my first time using Rover. My dog unexpectedly went into heat and we had to make alternate plans for her care. Christian responded quickly and efficiently. We felt fully confident in leaving our dog with him, even though she was requiring additional care and Grooming due to her heat. I would absolute him again!
I trust Ally to take care of my baby because she reads his behavior and needs the same way I do. For example, when it’s super hot out she keeps his walks short and utilizes the pool and indoor activities to make sure my dog gets the exercise he needs! She’s naturally an amazing dog sitter!
Allie was an exceptional dog sitter and took wonderful care of my diabetic dog while house sitting. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly comfortable managing medications and sticking to a strict schedule. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog and my home were in great hands. I would absolutely trust Allie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter, especially for pets with special medical needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ardsley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ardsley is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $120 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,580 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ardsley. 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 Ardsley 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 Ardsley 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 Ardsley 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 Ardsley. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
