“Jessica did a great job! She’s warm and kind and we came home to a tidy house and happy pets. She sent lots of pictures and was responsive and respectful throughout. She definitely gave us peace of mind while we were away, which is priceless.”
“Abby was wonderful! Both of my dogs were exceptionally cared for. She kept me up-to-date while she was house sitting. She exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Abby for your pet sitting needs!”
“If you need a house/dog sitter, look no further! Lauren was absolutely awesome. We have a 100lb Doberman who is very sweet but he is high energy and can be a lot to handle for people not used to large high energy dogs. Lauren took care of him with no issues at all while staying at our house for 5 nights. She gave him regular walks and spent a ton of time with him. She also was great at sending pictures and updates. Finally, she took great care of our house and respected our rules. She was great all around!”
“Absolutely amazing! Nikki surpassed every hope I had for a dog sitter. My dog Charlie was absolutely the happiest dog. She sent pictures and videos and he was so well taken care of. I will would recommend her to absolutely everyone”
“Katelyn did a great job watching our animals, and I was happy that our shy Great Dane warmed up to her. I like Katelyn’s honesty and conscientious attitude. Thank you Katelyn!”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Amber was an incredible dog sitter for our two white shepherds! She sent us daily photos and videos and was an exceptional communicator throughout the stay. We will absolutely book her again!”
“She gave me the best updates about my boys! I was also worried about my flight getting canceled and she offered to come back and stay the night if it did get cancelled! Absolutely would recommend her!”
“First time using rover. Was very satisfied, Richard responded to all communication in a very timely manner, sent pictures and did everything I asked. Would not hesitate to use him again. Thank you Richard!”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful. He watched our pups in our home and I felt safe and stress free. My dogs were in such great care. They loved him... maybe a little too much! I would definitely book with him again.”
“Enjoyed having Milica take care of Lexi overnight in our home. She’s conscientious and got on well with Lexi and her communication was very consistent and helpful.”
“Jen was wonderful with our two German Shepherds! One of them in particular can be a handful, but she was great with both of them! They were happy and healthy when we got home and our house was in great shape. Definitely recommend her!”
“Natalie took great care of our 2 pugs while we were on our honeymoon for 8 days! Pugs were super happy when we got home and the apartment was left very clean. Loved the daily updates and would definitely recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Brianna enough! She watched Hobbes at home for the first time recently and was incredibly professional from start to finish. Her communication is top-notch; I loved the frequent check-ins and the fact that she’s so diligent about arrival ETAs, potty breaks, and walks. It’s rare to find a sitter who manages a high energy puppy so effectively. Hobbes was happy and well-rested when we got back home!”
“Cam went above and beyond to comfort our dog during 4th of July fireworks! Our dog was well taken care of, and clearly felt comfortable with Cam.”
“Absolutely great - everyone was happy and relaxed when we got home, outdoor plants were watered, and our boy cat was not in a sulk. House was spotless, communication was great, I hate writing this review because everyone is going to book him up and we won't be able to.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ben Avon is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ben Avon
Responsible, kind, conscientious, and thorough! Jeremy took wonderful care of our dog, 3 cats, and bunny with overnight stays while our family vacationed at the beach. I knew he was going to be the perfect fit for us at the meet and greet, he asked detailed and thoughtful questions about each pet, seemed genuinely interested in getting to know them, and requested that we leave care instructions for each. Jeremy’s communication was top notch- he sent regular updates and photos of the pets. Also, during his stay, there were extreme heat conditions and he worked with me on a plan to keep the bunny cool by moving him downstairs -it was a lot of work and he was quick and efficient and even put the bunny back in his original location when the temps returned to normal. We are so happy to have found a reliable pet sitter we can trust and will certainly be booking him again for future trips.
The best! Shaina watched our cat and dog while we were on a trip and was amazing as usual. We received so many pictures and videos of them having such a nice time. Our dog gets separation anxiety and he seemed to warm up to her in a couple days so he quickly realized how wonderful she is too. She also helped with extra some house things while we were gone! I cannot say enough great things. We’re lucky to know our boys are in such good hands while we’re away. Thank you for everything Shaina!! 😊
Hannah did a fantastic job taking care of our Boston Terrier and our house (and plants!) while we were gone for two weeks. She kept us informed everyday. He gets very anxious on walks, but she even got him out for a couple walks and gave us some tips on how to make walks more enjoyable for him. We would definitely recommend Hannah!
Victoria was so helpful!! She sent so many updates and was extremely honest about her updates. Our kitties are extremely anxious to strangers and usually take some time to start to eat around them. She was so patient with our kitties and made them feel safe enough to eat around her! She was super adaptable to any new info we gave (tips and tricks to manage our kitties) and she didn’t mind it at all. I felt comfortable being able to ask her questions as well if I needed to and suggest things (which she took initiative immediately!) I’m so happy to have chosen her and will definitely choose her again in the future:)! Thanks again Victoria :)
Tanner was the best sitter we've ever had. We've used Rover a few times, and we've never gotten this lucky. We explained to Tanner that we've had some less-than-ideal experiences before, so we explained what we were looking for to see if you could meet our needs. Without hesitation, he said yes. We never once had to worry that Gus was being taken care of. We got videos and photos showing Tanner and Gus having a great time together. We honestly were a little worried that Gus wouldn't want us to come back! On top of that, we had a lot of packages being delivered and one big one that needed to be signed for, and Tanner took care of all of that. Gus was reactive to the doorbell, so Tanner even chased down the delivery driver to get the package that Gus kept him from. The real cherry on top. We came home to framed photos of our boy during Tanner's stay with him—such a sweet and thoughtful gift to leave us. We will be using Tanner for all our dog/house-sitting needs going forward.
Abby was really great and my first time using Rover in Home! It was the super last-minute booking and she came to the rescue. She came in and cared for baby girl who had just had surgery on Monday while I was away at my Christmas event.! definitely would recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ben Avon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,481 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ben Avon. 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 Ben Avon 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 Ben Avon 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 Ben Avon 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.

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.
