“I couldn’t recommend Suzie more highly for both dog sitting and house sitting! She is so sweet and thoughtful, and having her care for our dogs and home was such a relief. Suzie was a fantastic communicator, followed our instructions, and was punctual and reliable. We especially appreciated how much time she spent with our dogs. When she went out, she was back within a couple of hours, so they weren’t left on their own for long stretches. She also sent photos every morning and evening, which did so much to ease our anxiety and help us enjoy our time away. She was incredibly patient with our dogs’ early wake-up calls—even our older dog’s very insistent approach to getting her attention—and took it all in stride. She also left our home just as clean as we’d left it, right down to washing the containers we’d used to portion out the dogs’ food! Those thoughtful little touches really stood out. Above all, Suzie is someone you can trust. You can tell she really cares about doing a great job and, most of all, about the dogs themselves. She was an absolute joy to work with, and we would happily book her again!”
“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”
“I can't speak more highly of Kendall. She took care of our 4 year old lab for 10 days while we were on vacation, she stayed at our condo during that time. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She was communicative and checked in with us twice a day. She sent pictures and an update on how the day was going. I felt like I could actually enjoy my vacation knowing that our dog was in such good hands. Our condo was clean and tidy when we got home and, most importantly, our dog was relaxed and happy.”
About: Hi, I’m Abby! 🐾 I had the joy of owning and caring for my family’s two Shih Tzus since I was 10 years old, and they became two of my very best animal friends. Sadly, they both crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years old. Now I give my love for my pets to others’ furry friends. Growing up with my Shih Tzus has taught me just how much love, patience, and care our pets deserve. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with pet sitting, house sitting, and babysitting, and family, friends, and babysitting clients have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their beloved pets as if they were my own. A fun fact about me: I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) by day! My background has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I love using those principles to help animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them all the care, affection, and attention they deserve! 🐶❤️ I have the most availability during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents in advance to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, loving care for your furry family members! Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and welcome them into your home. I will follow your care instructions closely, ensure a safe environment, and make sure your furry friends receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection during every visit or walk. During walks, I will use appropriate safety precautions, keep your dog securely leashed, and remain attentive to their surroundings and individual needs. For drop-in visits, I aim to respect your home, follow your pet’s feeding and care routines, and ensure they have everything they need before I leave.
“Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!”
“gisselle was so wonderful with my Coco. Coco is a senior dog with health problems and cannot get overly excited. Gisselle understood my concerns with leaving my Coco with anyone but me! She sent me updates and pictures of Coco throughout my absence. i would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have cared for every personality you can imagine —> hyper pups, mellow cats, protective dogs, social butterfly pets, and those who think they’re human. Over the years I’ve learned the most important skill in all any care: patience. I began pet sitting in 2015 for friends and family and quickly became the go-to person when someone needed reliable care. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, turtles, snakes, fish, and hamsters. I am a former Petco employee so I have seen, cared, and handled them all. I adapt easily to each pet’s routine and personality, and I always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I can take care of our furry friend on days that become available to me. I have an accurate schedule set up two weeks in advance with plenty of time to check up on meet and greets. For 🐶: I have experience with crate trained dogs as well as house bound only dogs. I make sure that the pet’s physical health is stimulated by taking them on walks and playing games with them. I adjust to their schedule and their likes/dislikes in the home. I have experience with dogs that weren’t allowed in certain rooms or outside without a leash and I would make sure of that. For 🐱: these furry friends thrive on routine and familiarity, so I focus on keeping everything consistent and stress-free. When caring for cats in their own home, I stick to their regular feeding schedule, refresh water bowls, and keep litter boxes clean. I spend time with them based on their personality whether that’s interactive play or just being nearby for company. I also make sure their space stays tidy and cozy so they feel secure while you’re away. For all other friends 🐠🐢🐹🦜🐓🐰🦎🐍: I understand how important it is to keep even the smallest pets feeling safe and cared for while you are away. I always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routines consistent, whether that means feeding fish and turtles on schedule, refreshing water for rabbits and hamsters, making sure birds and chickens have a clean and comfortable space, checking heat lamps for reptiles, etc I pay attention to the little details that matter, like maintaining proper water / temperature levels for aquatic pets, cleaning cages and habitats thoroughly, and giving each animal the right balance of attention and gentle handling based on their needs. My goal is always to create a calm and secure environment so every pet, no matter how small, stays healthy and happy until you return. 🪴: I also offer plant care, keeping your plants watered and healthy so they thrive until you return.
“Valeria was super easy to work with and communicated well. She was attentive and thoughtful while watching our dog. Would definitely recommend and will rebook for pup's sitting in the future”
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was young. I have owned many childhood dogs, and I have experience with taking care of dogs when I worked at a local dog resort. I currently have a Frenchie, and I would love to show your pet the love they deserve while you are away! I am new to the area but not new to California! My schedule as of right now is very flexible and I am willing to work with yours! My dog is in a very comfortable and loving environment. My goal is to do the same for yours, which is treat your pet as I would treat mine.
“We went on vacation for 2 weeks and came home to happy, healthy dogs. I cannot tell you how nice it is to go on vacation and know your dogs will get the best care while you’re away. Thank you Casey, once again. I highly recommend Casey for your pet care!”
About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I am also currently taking dog training classes to become a dog trainer. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and all day on weekends for onboarding sitting. Weekdays: Available for morning walks Available for morning and evening check ins Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕
About: Hi, I’m Nachelle! Ever since I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. I grow up with dog and live stock. So have have dogs most of my adult life and I am familiar with many breeds and stages of life. I truly believes that pets are family and to some like me our kids. My goal isn't just to watch your dog, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and thoroughly loved while you are away. Because I know how stressful that can be on them. When your pup stays with me, hangs out with me, or goes out for a walk they get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a routine tailored specifically to their personality. Whether they are an energetic ball of fire who loves long sniff-walks or a senior sweet-soul who prefers a cozy couch lounge. When pets are in my home there is no off limit space besides the kitchen. So your fur babies will feel at home. If you have any questions please let me know. So I can accommodate your needs. Pet care is the most important to me as I have a dog and he is like my son. So daily walks, scheduled feeds, meds, and play time is a most. Trust is earned with pets just like humans. So I don't expect your pet to be warm and cuddly at first cause we have to establish that bond. So for me knowing there environmently triggers, happy spots, and things that there fearful of is the most important to me. So we can all be safe.
“Larissa was amazing and took great care of our dog. She is extremely trustworthy. She communicated several times each day. She updated how our dog was doing and sent pictures. Routines were followed and our dog seemed very happy with her. I highly recommend Larissa!! Thank you, Larissa!”
“Todd was an exceptional dog sitter this was my first time to use Todd but I would definitely use him for future dog sitting.

Todd is a five star dog sitter and I would highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs. We are ready have a trip planned and the following weeks and he is the only person that I would trust to stay with my babies. He is awesome!!!!!!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep commitment to not just caring for pets, but enhancing their well-being through specialized knowledge and skills. I'm currently working towards advanced training certifications, which reflects my dedication to continuous learning and professional development in pet care. As a service dog trainer, I have a unique understanding of canine behavior and training techniques. This experience allows me to provide structured, yet compassionate care and training to pets under my supervision. Whether it's working on obedience, behavior modification, or specific tasks, I apply these skills to help pets grow and thrive. Nutrition is another area where I bring added value. I have a strong background in pet nutrition, enabling me to make informed choices about the dietary needs of the pets I care for, if it is ever needed. This is especially important for pets with specific dietary requirements or health concerns. Puppy socialization and obedience are among my key strengths. I love working with puppies, helping them learn the ropes of social interaction, and guiding them through the critical stages of their development. My approach is always gentle, patient, and tailored to each puppy's unique personality and needs. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own, with all the love, care, and attention they deserve. My goal is not just to be a sitter, but a positive influence in the lives of the pets I care for. No matter the service paid for, all dogs in my care will receive some play based, force free, positive only training for fun! I work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule with enables me to give your dog all of the care and attention it needs while in my care. I prioritize pet safety and comfort above all else. When caring for pets, either in my own home or in a client's home, I ensure that their environment is safe, secure, and tailored to their needs. This means removing any hazards, providing a cozy and comfortable space, and making sure they have access to fresh water and their preferred food. Building a bond with each pet is essential for me. I engage in playful activities that suit their personality and energy level, always focusing on positive reinforcement. This approach not only fosters trust but also helps in understanding their unique behaviors and needs. When it comes to training, I strictly adhere to force-free methods. This not only ensures the pet's physical well-being but also supports their mental and emotional health. By using positive reinforcement, I help pets feel confident and comfortable in my care. This approach is gentle, effective, and strengthens our bond, making their time with me a happy and stress-free experience.
“Jizelle did an amazing job watching my 3 dogs on New Year’s Eve. I have a senior dog with dementia that needs medication and she did a wonderful job administering the medication and watching over him throughout the night. She arrived early and was great at communicating with me throughout the night and sending me photos. Would definitely have Jizelle watch my dogs again!”

Nick took wonderful care of our dogs! It’s always stressful to leave them, but after meeting Nick I felt very at ease. He seemed trust worthy, friendly, and a genuinely kind person. Upon returning home the dogs were happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a trustworthy person to take care of their furry family members! Thanks again Nick!
Riley stayed at our house and took wonderful care of our dog, Bean. Riley kept the house just as tidy as it was Left and sent photos/updates throughout, which we really appreciated. Bean was happy, calm, and clearly well loved while away and we'd welcome Riley back into our home anytime.
Ashley is a perfect house and pet sitter. We have worked with Ashley a number of times and she is always good and reliable. The dogs are well cared for and content we come back. She sends updates each day with photos of the dogs. We don't worry about anything when we are gone.
Andy is above and beyond an amazing pet sitter!! Instantly my dog felt comfortable and Andy sent updates and pictures and even asked questions to clarify which was very respectful. Andy is trustworthy, understanding and very respectful my dog found a new best friend!! I highly recommend Andy!!
We loved Abby as well as our Dog Charlie. It was our first time using her but we immediately felt she would be the perfect fit. She was sweet, smart and very respectful. I could tell she loved animals. When you leave your pet with a stranger you worry about them but I could sense that our dog felt very comfortable with her. When we returned home after being gone 3 days she left a nice note and had done the laundry. That was really above and beyond.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bryn Mawr is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $94 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 2,346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bryn Mawr. 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 Bryn Mawr 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 Bryn Mawr 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 Bryn Mawr 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.
