“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my two Yorkshire terriers. I love the ability to let them stay in their own house and play in their own yard without being crated. Amy made that possible and I will definitely book her services again.”
“Nico is the absolute best! Our plans changed last minute and he was so understanding. Our pups have the best time when Nico is here and he gives all the cuddles, playing and love they need.”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and starting in grade school, I walked dogs and pet sit for families in the neighborhood. Just a lover of all animals 🤗🐾 I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule when it comes to a walk around the neighborhood or a check in with your pet. When checking in on your pets at home, I will always be cautious of keeping gates and doors closed and keeping them on their leash when gearing up for a walk ☺️
“I truly can’t recommend her enough! She stepped in at the last minute when I needed a sitter for a girls’ weekend, and from the second she met my dog, Aspen, I knew I had found the right person. Aspen instantly felt comfortable with her, and it was obvious the feeling was mutual. Watching him warm up to her so quickly put my mind at ease. As a first time dog mom, leaving Aspen with someone in my home for the very first time was incredibly nerve-racking. She completely exceeded my expectations. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with lots of messages and pictures, which helped me relax and actually enjoy my trip. She even took Aspen out for a pup cup, and that small gesture meant so much because it showed how much she genuinely cared for him. When I came home, Aspen was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. She treated him like family, and that’s all any pet parent could ask for. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable, communicative, and will love your pet as if they’re her own, look no further. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for making Aspen’s first sitting experience—and mine—such an amazing one!”

“Dana was so great with Sherlock! He easily handled all of his medication needs. He sent the funniest updates and Sherlock loved all of the cuddles. Its not easy to find someone who can match Sherlock's regular schedule of having someone home during the day so I was very happy we found Dana. We will definitely use him again!”
“Kendra was great!! We had to find a last minute back up option for our short trip and Kendra came to the rescue! She came over to our apartment and took detailed notes about our big guy and was very great with following up and sending us pictures while we were away! She staying the night and was awesome! Totally will use her again and recommend her to all! Thanks Kendra from my fiancé and I and of course Bubba!”
“Absolutely best rating possible! Our baby is a lot of work and requires someone super capable of keeping our dog active and understanding his needs. She kept house clean, followed all tips, and was super communicative. Meechy was so happy to get snuggles and feel safe all week :)”
“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!!”
About: I've taken care of, dogs all my life, ranging from puppies to seniors. Friends and family have counted on me watching their pets when they are away or need a quick walk/play. I have a flexible work schedule where I can work from home or be on the road(local) so your pet will not be alone for a few hours max. I am open to watching a dog over nights and weekends. I have a partially fenced in yard that I can block an exit. If I am watching at my home I will have them on leash in the back yard and be outside playing with them. My home is Located in Conshohocken so it is very walkable on the streets and have easy access to the Schuylkill River Trail. I live across from a park where I am able take your dog for a long walk as well. When I watch at a clients home I am respectful, clean, and make sure I leave it better than when I arrived.

Anna was a pleasure to work with! Super straight forward and easy to set up visits! She listened to all tips and tricks with our very lovely puppy who is QUITE the handful! Having someone who can take care of a playful, strong, and high energy dog while still showing them love and care is a special kind of pet caregiver! Thank you!
Ben was fantastic! He kept me updated on Boots' medications and sent the cutest pictures of all 3 pups throughout his stay. He also took excellent care of our home, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Broad Axe on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Broad Axe. 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 Broad Axe 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 Broad Axe 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 Broad Axe 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 Broad Axe. 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.
