“Julie was amazing! She house sat with our fur babies for a week. We got lots of updates and pictures. She took our pooch for walks every day and gave everyone lots of love and cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Fantastic house/dog sitter! She did an AMAZING job taking care of my two dogs and keeping us in the loop with daily photos and reports. If you get the opportunity to book with Alexa do it!!”
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 .
“Jimi was a terrific house sitter for my two dogs when I had to go out of town for several days. He administered medication to my 1 dog day and night, fed them according their demanding food guidelines, took them on walks, played with them and sent lots of pictures and texts. I couldn't believe when I got home and my house was vacuumed and kitchen sparkling clean. I would definitely recommend him for your fur babies!!”
“I will definitely be using Rich again for a puppy sleepover. He was great with communication and asked appropriate questions. Very reliable and trustworthy. Needed a last minute change while booking and he was extremely understanding and flexible. I felt at ease with all the adorable photos he sent of my fur baby. Definitely recommend. Also, went above and beyond what I asked. Thank you Rich!”
“Brandon is receptive and communicative. He cares about my animals and was especially helpful when my dog began not feeling well and had some accidents. If he had a question to make sure he was giving my animals thr best care possible, he wasn't afraid to ask. He had his hands full with my animals but did very well and I know they were happy while I was away. Definitely will use again.”
“Jesse was such a wonderful pet sitter for us during a weekend away! He was friendly, clearly enjoyed the pets, and his communication was awesome— lots of pics and videos to tide us over!”
“We truly could not have asked for a better dogsitter. She cared for our Labrador, Skye, for 14 days while we were out of state for spring break, and she was an absolute blessing to our family. She treated Skye with so much tenderness and attention, walking her multiple times a day and making sure she was loved and comfortable the entire time. What meant the most to us, especially to my teen daughter, was how thoughtful she was with communication. She consistently sent updates, messages, and pictures, even texting my daughter directly so she wouldn’t miss Skye too much. Before leaving, she even left my daughter something special that included a Polaroid of Skye, that my daughter now keeps in her phone case. That level of care and compassion meant everything. And to top it all off, we came home to a clean, tidy house. She went above and beyond by picking up, washing Skye’s blankets, and even giving her a bath. As a mother of four (plus our dog!), walking into a clean home after travel was truly the highlight. She took initiative in ways we never expected and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Kim is a true gem. 🐾”
“Troy & Shalah were excellent sitters for my puppies! They stayed overnight and made sure the dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated all the picture updates and the care they put in. The house was spotless when we returned, and the pups were very content. I’ll definitely be booking them again for our next overnight stays!”
About: I am currently a German Shepherd mom, but I have experience owning and training dogs of all sizes! The most important thing I have learned in my experience with dogs is that they are all different regardless of breed. I cannot wait to build a bond with your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Additionally, I have received professional training for use of an e-collar and prong collar, should your furry friend need to be walked with either of those. On the weekdays, I usually get home around 6:30, and I like to go for a leisurely walk as opposed to the gym, so it would be the perfect time to walk your furry friend! Additionally, I work as a grad student in a research lab, and I make my own work schedule. So, my schedule is relatively flexible, and I can be available in the early morning or late night if need be. I own a German shepherd, so I am very experienced in providing the time and attention necessary to stimulate and occupy your furry friend during our walks. Additionally, the apartment complex I live in has a private dog park that your furry friend can be taken to if you’re interested.
“I was so happy to leave my dog in Bill’s capable and caring hands. I got lots of updates throughout my trip and Bill was very attentive to the details and little quirks that my dog has. I look forward to having him back in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Isaiah!! He was SO good with all our animals and not only took amazing care of them, but also took such great care of our home. We were gone for a week and so nervous to leave our babies, he came for a consultation and immediately put our worries to rest. Throughout his stay, he sent constant updates and pictures. He is kind, reassuring, responsible and trustworthy. We are SO thankful to have found him. We 10000/10 recommend! Thanks so much again Isaiah, you are the best!!”

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.

About: I have owned dogs and cats of all sizes and I am comfortable with both puppies and senior animals. I have a secure, large yard, air conditioning, and full-time availability to spoil your pet. (My dog has passed so no pets live in the home). I'm very attuned to animals needs and make sure they're comfortable and calm. I am happy to host multiple pets at once as long as your pet is friendly (can host cats alone without other animals). I work from home part time. My house is very chill and my schedule is flexible. I rarely need to leave the house, and if your dog has separation anxiety i can plan to be fully available. I drive so I can attend to pets as needed throughout the day and evening at your home. If at my home, we will mostly hang out on the first floor where your pet can access food and water. I provide frequent bathroom breaks and time out in the yard (or a quick walk around the neighborhood). At clients homes, I make sure the pet is comfortable in its natural environment, play, and take them outside as needed.

Excellent care and communication! Jimi connected with my cats upon first meeting them and they were right at home with him. Photo updates and periodic check-ins made leaving my cats easier knowing they were well tended to. It was also wonderful to come home to a clean and tidy space and tend to unpacking rather than the linens, vacuuming, and dishes. I would highly recommend Jimi to care for your pets and home.
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😊
Emily went above and beyond with house sitting our babies. She kept us updated the entire time and sent photos. Our home was left tidy and Emily even cleaned out our pet vac and litter box! Even though I didn’t ask for it. Definitely would book with her again. Thank you so much!
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 for House Sitting in Bensalem on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,397 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bensalem. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
