“Kailey did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She sent me frequent updates on his day, and kept him on his regular schedule. I’m very thankful for a job well done!!”
About: I am currently studying at Wilson College for my Bachelors degree in Veterinary Nursing and am going into my junior year. I have experience volunteering at a cat shelter and I have pet sit friends’ cats and dogs. I as well have had a family dog, my cat, and my 2 rats! I absolutely love all animals and I will take the best care of your fur babies as if they were my own while you relax! During these summer months I am (for the most part) a completely open book! I will select the days I am not available, but majority of my time is available! I would make sure your animal feels safe and loved at all times. I will provide them with fresh water always, and treats (with permission). I can also clean up any messes your pet may make in your absence. I also have no problem administering medication, however I would prefer to have a demonstration beforehand or meet beforehand and try with the owner present to ensure your pet is getting the medication they need correctly and calmly! I am able to spend any extra time to play or make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable during your time away!
“Our pups and kitties loved Ashley! They all seemed so relaxed when we came home from our trip. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need to go away. Thanks so much Ashley!!”
About: I have taken care of several animals, and I thoroughly enjoy it! I am very active and find walking or running a hobby with dogs. We would absolutely love to welcome your pup into our home! I currently work full time and get off at 4:30 but have plenty of free time on the weekends, afternoon walks during the weekdays after work! I like to modify my care routine depending on each pet and their needs. In my home I like to provide treats, and toys, with unconditional love. I have a schedule for routine feeding.
“Deanna was GREAT! Came to meet our dog and was immediately good with him. He is a 110 pound skittish boy and he accepted her immediately. Unfortunately he got sick the day before we left. Deanna was wonderful giving him medication unexpectedly, keeping tabs on his progress to the antibiotics, keeping us informed of how he was feeling, and even offered to take him to the vet for follow up. She communicated well with us and sent pictures. We will absolutely use her again when needed, as she kept our boy happy and safe!”
“I highly recommend Shelia! Our two dogs and cat loved her! It was a relief to know they were in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely be rebooking her for future trips.”
“Ilene stayed at our house with our three small dogs while we were away for a week and she took the best care of them! She sent updates and photos any time she could, and she made sure to follow the extra instructions I had for miscellaneous things around the house. The dogs really seemed to enjoy her and I would rebook her anytime!”
“Absolutely wonderful! This was our first stay with her and already booked her to watch our dogs again in the future. She put us at ease with leaving her with our anxious girl but she gave them both so much love. Great at communicating and sending updates/photos!”
“Nova was amazing!! She came over to meet with us and our dogs prior to us leaving and was so patient and understanding of all our concerns and requests. We have a senior dog and she needed some special attention and Nova was so accommodating. Our dogs barely noticed that we were gone because they were so loved on while we were away. Highly recommend booking with Nova.”
“Aaren was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took good care of him and sent us pics and videos of him snuggling with her. Aaren has a unique understanding of dogs and we highly recommend her for sitting.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 12. They have always been a favorite animal of mine. My family would always ask me to watch there dogs for them when they went away. I am off 2 days a week and I just wanted that time to spend taking care of dogs. I like to go on hikes and run around with my dog. I have a decent sized yard for your pups! My dog is also very friendly and would love some company whenever she can get it! I’m up to doing whatever you want for your pet.
“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”

If there is an open yard that is enclosed by a fence I will play with them for at least 30-45 minutes before going in for the evening.

“Robert went above and beyond our expectations. He was very responsible and met every need for my 2 dogs and 2 guinea pigs. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos and had wonderful communication throughout our trip which put my mind at ease while away. I highly recommend him to care for your pets and will definitely rebook with him again!”

We had a fantastic experience and couldn’t recommend Kailey more! We booked her for a long-term stay over the holidays to care for our two cats, and she was amazing. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We will always recommend Kailey!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bowmanstown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 754 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bowmanstown. 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 Bowmanstown 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 Bowmanstown 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 Bowmanstown 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 Bowmanstown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
