“Andrew cared for my golden retriever, Teddy and 2 cats in my home while I traveled for work. He showed great care and compassion for Teddy during a thunderstorm which makes him very distressed. The house was neat when I returned and he communicated regularly.”
“Julie was so responsive and came to meet my Hugo before we booked. Every dog has their idiocies so it was great to pass along this information to her ahead of time, making Hugo and her experience at my home the best it could be on such a short notice. It was also very apparent she knew how to handle dogs and had a good amount of experience. I got lots of updates and pictures and I never worried once while we were away. It was such a last minute need and I’m so grateful she was able and willing to accommodate. On a side note- I had a ton of packages that happened to be delivered on Friday and Saturday and she so graciously brought them in and stacked them in our front room. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. You won’t be disappointed”
“My husband & I were really nervous to have someone house sit, but not only was Ryan awesome with our Yorkie & Fox Terrier but we returned to a clean house. He followed all of our well & gave daily reports on our fur-babies. Thanks so much Ryan!!”
About: We have lots of experience with dogs, cats and many other types of animals! Large property with room to run, we have several horses and goats on site. Family care in our home (with children). Experience working as a vet tech including first aid, animal grooming, training and behavior, and as an animal chiropractor for ~15 years. We do have a kennel license through the state and as such, we require a copy of your current rabies vaccine and dog license (easy to do and only about $12 online!). Question on this? Just ask! We have several older children who help out with daily care, walks, and feeding. One parent is stay at home and the other parent works flexible hours. We have a large house for dogs to roam and play throughout the day. Sleeping can be in a kennel or snuggled with us in bed--whatevert you prefer. Large outdoor spaces to roam and we love to take walks in the neighborhood.
“It's very comforting to know when you leave your special friend, that someone will take good care of them. Amelia was wonderful, very caring, she sends lots of pics and Kenzy told me they had a great time!!!!”
“Pam took great care of Kobe, with continual updates and photos. It was clear she was very attentive and cared about his well-being. Our house was immaculate upon our return, and Kobe was happily tired out! We will definitely rebook with her!”
“Sammy was a wonderful dog sitter. She communicated frequently, sent pictures, and let me know of any issues or concerns. She asked good questions. I will certainly use her again and highly recommend!”
“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”
About: As the above headline would suggest, I aim to be much more than a service provider for your pets needs. Yes, I do love animals and am a dog dad myself but my heart is to be a humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and make myself available to help with any practical and/or personal matters of life you may have currently. I’m not a religious fanatic and won’t impose my faith on you in any way, shape or form but feel free to ask questions about it! I have pretty wide open availability mostly but I am currently a dialysis patient and receive treatments every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7am to around 11/11:30am. Tuesday evenings I’m usually busy from 6pm to 8/8:30pm. Wednesday evenings busy from 5pm to 8pm. The rest of my days and evenings are open except for Sundays from 9am to 3pm but then available Sunday evenings. Unfortunately, I’m unable to bring pets into my current residence but I obviously abide by the client’s expectations and instructions when coming to their home. As long as directions are clear and legible, I’ll follow them precisely. I am available for house-sitting, if deemed necessary as well.
About: Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Nick! I’m excited to provide loving and reliable care to your pets. I’m an outgoing individual and I love to express that same personality towards animals too. I’m never too tired or lacking energy to get up and play/care for them. I’ve taken pets on walks to the park before, walks around campus, walks around the city, etc. Whether it’s keeping your pet company, feeding them, or simply making sure they are comfortable and happy, I will make it my job to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m dependable, detail-oriented and understand the importance of following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs and any special instructions. I also believe communication is inportant, so I’m more than happy to provide updates and pictures while your pet is in my care. I work full-time but mainly work remote from home so I’m happy to coordinate my availability in advance to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs. I will always do my best to make scheduling convenient for you. I look forward to making friends with you and providing the best pet care! I work from home a lot so it’s easy for me to tend to my home and take care of what needs to be done. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because besides cooking and keeping the house clean, I don’t really have any other responsibilities I make sure pets in my home are well hydrated and that they are in an environment where they feel free to roam around and have space to feel comfortable
“Angelina was fantastic!! She was the perfect sitter to watch our dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She was very communicative and my dogs loved her. She left our home spotless, dogs well fed, and checked in with us frequently. Could not recommend her enough!!”
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!
“Tim did a great job staying overnight two nights caring for our pit bull mix and our cat. He provided updates and photos and our pets were happy when we arrived home. We highly recommend him!”
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes and cats since I was a kid so I am very comfortable around all types of pets! I have experience puppy-sitting future service dogs, caring for large dogs, and looking after cats. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each animal's individual needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time, so | have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I'm able to accommodate different scheduling needs and prioritize being reliable and consistent with each pet's routine. I enjoy providing attentive, loving care while keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and attention, and maintain their usual routines. I'm also happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and any individual needs. I'm unable to accommodate pets in my own home due to a household member's dog allergy, but I'm happy to care for pets in their own home.
“Wydia loved on our older chihuahuas in our home, and she had so much patience with our little Hershey. His temperament can be hard to handle due to his past treatment as a puppy, but she won him over. She treated our home with respect as well. She also sent daily pictures which was crucial in making us feel at ease. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have taken care of cats for at least 20 years now. I would love to help someone out by taking care of their cats when they cannot. I am retired so I would have a lot of time to take care of your cat or keep them company for a while. I love fur babies. I have three indoor cats and one outdoor cat that comes in to eat and sleep. They get plenty of attention. I would love to add more Cat friends to have fun with.
“Robert was absolutely amazing! Sophia loved her time with him. He was very responsive. Provided updates and photos. Great communication before an and after home visit. Very professional and respectful!! Definitely will use him again! Highly recommend.”
About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::

The average cost of House Sitting in Bechtelsville is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $78 and $78 per night.

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 Bechtelsville 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 Bechtelsville 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 Bechtelsville 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 Bechtelsville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
