“Julie accepted my last-minute booking without hesitation, and I'm so grateful she was available! She was incredibly responsive, kept me updated, followed every instruction perfectly, and took the sweetest pictures of my dog. It was clear my dog felt comfortable and loved being with her. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. I truly wish I could give more than 5 stars!”
About: For over 15 years I have cared for 3 dogs , a Sphinx cat and my cat 🤍 and now I would love to care for your fuzzy family too! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and they love me too🤍 Pet care fits in because my schedule is relatively flexible I am able to stop in and visit the animals periodically or stay the entire day. I care for someone else’s pets the same way i care for my own furry friends. Sharing love when ever I’m able to. Making sure they get to use the bathroom outside, or cleaning their litter box daily so when it’s needed so they have a clean space. Taking them on walks multiple times a day or letting them out if they’re a cat, and making sure they come back in at a reasonable time. Feeding them on a set scheduled time, following feeding instructions and if they’re requiring any medicine or supplements .
About: I have cared for family and friends pets since I was 14 years old. Combined with my love for animals and attention to detail, my skill set has helped to create a special experience for each pets needs. From energetic dogs needing more patience and structure to senior pets who need a little more tend love and care! I am currently working full-time, 7am-2:30pm (M-F). However, on weekends and afternoons I am free to devote my time to caring for your pets. I don't work summers which allows me the flexibility to provide the best care needed to each of your fur pups. When caring for my own and other pets safety and trust is a top priority. Each pet is different however I still make it my business to make sure pets and parents of pets feel comfortable by catering to their specific needs in and out of my home. In my own home, I make sure the environment is free from anything that can be toxic to animals such as exposed wire, toxic plants, or foods. I maintain consistency with pet schedules to ensure each animal feels comfortable. I have a large backyard that is partially fenced in so pets can get regular exercise. I also have one mini poodle that goes by Karter, if it meets the pets needs Karter is great company to keep to promote interaction and stimulation throughout the day.
“Had the opportunity to schedule Rich for an extended stay with my fur baby and he was excellent. Took great care of Damian and provided love that I couldn't. Will definitely use him for a longer stay next month.”
About: I’ve been dealing with pets all of my life. From the tiniest of them all to the biggest you can think of in different types of towns and areas. So basically it comes naturally. I think of pets as a baby , you treat them with a lot of care and give them all of your time. I think Each dog gives you new experiences and it teaches you a lot. I’m all for learning new things. Animals love me and I love them. If you want a 24 hour service care I’m the one to call. Turn my house into OUR house and call it their own as well. Energetic , fun , lovable , caring , compassionate , patient , comforting , and playful!
About: Loving and caring animal lover! I am a cheer coach and baker. I have always loved animals since I was a young girl. I have taken care of dogs, cats, snakes,lizards, birds, rabbits and baby chicks! I am usually very flexible with my availability because my practice hours for cheer do change especially between summer and the school year. I will be happy to watch your furry babies for you whenever I am available. I will treat them with all the love and care as if they were my own. I am available for walking,sitting and boarding. Just let me know what you need. Thank you for visiting my page and if you have any other questions please feel free to contact me at any time.
About: I have been taking care of animals for 5 years i also just joined :) Please supply food and equipment thank you so much heart Pet care is ingrained into me I was raised taking care of pets growing up so the routine for me is simple dot dot dot I care for pets all the same in every environment no home is any different than the other so i feel very comfortable in every environment
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had pets myself and I have pet sat for my friends and family for years. I am punctual and detail oriented. Whatever you and your pet need I will provide. I will always show love and respect to the pets I care for. I work at Mom's Organic Market 4 days out of the week so I have plenty of open days to take care of your pets. I live in an apartment and have a cat so my place would not be ideal for pets to stay over. Maybe another cat would be ok. I am open to that.
“Gina was a Godsend! I cannot give her a rating high enough! She was awesome with our Lilly. Lilly took to her better than my own family. I would highly recommend her to everyone! She was off the charts great in every way!!!”
“This was our third time using Josh for overnight stays, and he continues to be a really great sitter. His communication is excellent. He provides regular updates and is always very responsive. It's stressful to have your pets care (and your home) in someone else's hands. Josh's communication definitely helps us feel more at ease. We have a fenced yard, but Josh always takes Rider on walks which I really appreciate (as does Rider). Every time we've come home you'd never know he was there. He brings in packages, etc. which again, I really appreciate. We will continue to book Josh without question!”
About: When I was 9 or 10, I had a beloved pet that we sadly had to give away due to a tough moving situation. Years later, we were lucky to bring Charlie home and Marvel, and they have been cherished members of our family for a few years. As a remote college student, I understand how important it is to find reliable help for your pets. I'm here for you and available to pet sit any day of the week or over the weekend. Your furry friends will be in good hands! I can walk your dog every 2-3 hours to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. Additionally, I have a fenced yard with cameras for safety, where they can play. My own dog, Charlie, a friendly, neutered, vaccinated maltipoo, would love to have a companion to share some fun with! And Cocker spaniel named Marvel (he isn’t neutered yet due to age) who is also vaccinated.
“Simona is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my two senior dogs while we were on vacation, giving them the extra attention and love they needed. She also watched over our menagerie of reptile pets perfectly, which gave me such peace of mind. Simona checked in with us regularly, sent plenty of photos, and made sure to ask questions whenever she wasn’t sure—something we really appreciated. It’s clear she truly cares about animals of all kinds. We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter—highly recommend!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog Mysa and my senior cat Coffee to travel abroad. Hardy was great house sitting and taking care of both of them, including being attentive to their feeding habits, play time and monitoring the home. Would definitely recommend Hardy as an attentive caregiver.”
About: Working together with my husband Khanh Ho. Grew up with dogs & pets my entire life as a kid. I trained and took care of all my family dogs from puppy to old age. I genuinely love animals! We will treat your pet as if it was our own. We really want a pet but we can’t quite commit to one yet since we travel alot, so your pet is like our pet 🤣 We cared for both cats and dog and we love both! We currently are working full time, but we are hybrid and remote, so one of us will always be available to care for your pet. We can provide potty breaks every 4 hours. We have no pets at home currently so it will be easy to care for your pet. There is a yard behind our house so we are able to walk and play with them.
“Kristin watched our dog for us for the week and was the best! She brought along her dog Darby who was the sweetest and a perfect playmate for our pup. We got the cutest daily pics and updates and felt great knowing our dog was in such good care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bensalem
Jimi was great. He showed up on time, took great care of our dogs (one senior who needs extra attention: diapering, help with steps, etc.) and house, and gave us peace of mind while we were away from home. He sent periodic updates (at least once a day) which was super - not intrusive but we were also not left wondering how things were going - and was very quick to respond if we reached out. Jimi left the kitchen spotless, did some dog laundry, tidied the house and I'm virtually certain he vacuumed the rug where the dogs usually rest and get all hairy. How nice it is to return to content dogs and a clean home?! Very happy to have found Jimi and hope he is available for future stays!
Alina is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and also my home. I didn’t have to worry about my dog while I was away as there was great communication, pictures sent, and my instructions fully followed. My home was also left in a better state than I left it. She went above and beyond, & I have already recommended her to others😊
Alyssa was wonderful! Will use her again! This was my first experience with having a dog sitter and through this site! Would highly recommend! Alyssa came prior to our vacation and met us and lady. Super sweet girl! During our trip she kept in contact since she knew I was nervous and sent lots of pictures! Thank you again Alyssa!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bensalem is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $98 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 October 2026, there are 5,375 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bensalem. 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 Bensalem 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 Bensalem 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 Bensalem 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.
