“Hannah was just wonderful! She communicated well, took excellent care of my pups and left me house exactly as expected. I would recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Meghan is awesome! She clearly took amazing care not only our pets (a dog and a cat) for the nearly two weeks we were on vacation, but our home was somehow cleaner than when we left! She sent daily updates, let us know if anything was unusual, and was overall an excellent communicator and a delight to chat with! We highly recommend Meghan and will definitely be booking her again the future.”
“Beverly was awesome. This was the first time we were away from our 150lb mastiff puppy and we were worried about him. Bev made us very comfortable during the meet and greet and communicated with us up until the the sit started to ensure she had all the details and care instructions. On the day of the sit she showed up right on time and settled in before we had to leave, so the puppies would get used to her being in the house. During the next few days she took wonderful care of our furbabies. She played with them and cuddled with them when they were moping and was persistent about trying to get them to eat. Pretty soon they were following her around everywhere. She sent us a lot of pictures of them and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. We would love for her to care for our babies again in the future.”
“Amy took awesome care of our dog while we were on vacation. She made sure he got his medicine and went for daily walks. She kept me up to date with pictures. I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pet!”
“My dog, Dakota, trusted Sadie right off the bat. She is professional and kind, and I knew that Dakota was in good hands during our trip! Sadie kept in touch during our time away. When we returned, we found that our home was also well taken care of. We strongly recommend Sadie!”
“Stefanie was a pleasure to have watch our pup! She was responsive when reached out to, followed our instructions left, and sent daily photos of him. It was great to know that she was taking such good care of him while we were gone. Additionally, she left our house nice and clean! Would love to use Stefanie again.”
“We needed an emergency sitter for our puppy Pete who is recovering from surgery and Katryna came to the rescue. She was conscientious and very kind with our little guy and we would definitely have her watch him again.”
“Robert was very attentive to our dog. He took him on walks and spent a lot of time hanging out with him. He kept us updated throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. We were very happy with him. I would highly recommend him and will use him again!”
“Devyn was over and beyond with my dog Teddy! She was prompt, answered my texts in a timely manner and most of all was so kind to Teddy!! Devyn left my home better than I left it! When I got home Teddy was content, happy to see me but not stressed at all. We are so grateful to find Devyn as a pet sitter💖”
“Alex is the best! We truly appreciated the photos and updates and felt very secure with Alex’s confident and caring approach. Our home was left in pristine condition and our dogs were content and relaxed! Highly recommend Alex, especially if you have dogs who can be a little slow to warm up to new people.”
“Brooke was awesome. She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and notes. She took our puppy out for potty every couple hours. My dogs loved her and we will definitely be asking her to sit again.”
About: Dogs are family, and that is how I treat every visit. I have spent 12 years caring for my family dog and now my own, along with regular walks, drop-ins, and overnight care for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I am comfortable with dogs of every size. Millie, the Bernese Mountain Dog in my photos, is my boyfriend's dog and lives at his house, but I walk and care for her often. At over 100 pounds, so I can handle larger dogs who may pull on walls. I am experienced with administering oral medications, managing leash-reactive dogs on walks, and handling standard crate and feeding routines. I keep detailed notes on each pet's needs and quirks, and I always have your vet's information on hand in case of an emergency. You will never have to wonder how your dog is doing, because I am happy to send updates throughout a visit. I am available for early morning visits and again toward the end of the workday and into the evening, which suits pet parents who need care before or after their own workday. Midday visits may be possible with advance notice. I have some weekend availability as well; just message me and we will coordinate. Safety Your pet's safety comes first. Dogs stay leashed and harnessed any time we are outside, including in shared hallways, elevators, and lobbies, since neighbors and other dogs can appear around a corner without warning. I check the weather before every walk and adjust: short routes and shaded paths in the heat, and less time outside in the cold. Before the first visit, I make sure your vet's information, any medications, and other specifics are written down or saved in the Rover app for easy reference. We can go over detailed instructions at the meet and greet or by message beforehand. If anything seems wrong, you will hear from me immediately. Trust I work full time in HR, so confidentiality and the careful handling of sensitive information are things I take seriously. I treat your keys, door codes, and home with that same standard of care. Keys are never labeled with an address or unit number, and they are stored securely in my home when not in use. You will receive photos and an update with every visit. I never bring anyone along, and I never share photos of your pet publicly without asking first. If my plans change, you will hear about it early rather than at the last minute. Environment In your home, I stick to the areas you tell me to use and leave everything as I found it, including lights, doors, and the thermostat. I also pick up after your pet and tidy anything we have used before I leave.
“Amanda was sweet, prompt, and accommodating. She came in and handled Athena perfectly from the very beginning and continued to communicate throughout. My dog absolutely adored her and I would highly recommend ❤️”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies, hamsters, bunnies, fish, chinchillas, ferrets, and more! I have over 5 years of experience as a professional animal care-taker where I cared for all sorts of animals as well as gave advice to customers on individual issues with their pets. My family also owns a farm so I learned a respect for animals at a very young age! Currently I have 2 rambunctious pet ferrets but growing up I had 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bunny, and fish! I have cared for many dogs and puppies in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I love dogs of all sizes and don't mind caring for multiple pets. I am currently a student, so I'll have plenty of time for walks, to play fetch with your energetic puppy, clean up soiled puppy pads, whatever you need! I'm available for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I can take your pups for as many walks as you'd like; I am a very active person who loves walking/hiking! If you have a high-energy dog I can also take them on my daily runs! If your pet is more relaxed, I also love just spending time playing and giving lots of pets.
“I have two large dogs, both rescue; my older guy (Cajun) is from Katrina, and is probably close to 13 or 14. He's still in good health, but needs supplements each day, and care on stairs, and a sling for help jumping (e.g., into the car). My other guy, rescued from the south was a runaway gun dog, and when I got him was extremely fearful of everything (going in the house, car, etc.) and would run away any chance he got, and he had proved quite clever when fear drove him to open gates, etc. Several years later he (Skeeter) has become a "velcro dog," and is quite respectful, and listens well. Indeed, contrary to input from trainers I know, he might be untrainable off-leash. Within months he was completely trained off-leash, but has that extreme attachment to me. So my concern was that away he would try to run to find me. I have not left him beyond an afternoon or evening for the 2 years I've had him. Kayla met with me once and walked off-leash with me, Skeeter, and Cajun. She came to my house once to get the "lay of the land" and came, with my permission, with her good friend, Angie, who would be helpful as backup. I was concerned about my dogs being on leash for the week I was gone, since they were used to going everywhere with me in the car and walked 95% off-leash- but we walked together with them ON leash and they were fine with her. Kayla left my house immaculate (probably cleaner than it was), and my dogs were happy and had bonded with her. She kept contact with me by text, phone, etc. daily, so my stress about leaving them while I was cross-country was greatly alleviated. I highly recommend Kayla.”
“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”
“Excellent communication and was very responsive to my request for a sitter. Sent videos and photos of my dogs to keep me updated. The dogs looked to be having a blast with her. Would use her again.”

Sarah recently cared for my dog Bo while I was on vacation. She was very efficient and left detailed notes, not only regarding Bo’s care, but also my home while she stayed there. Bo is recovering from surgery, and as such requires an extra gentle touch as well as some added patience. She was communicative about any out of the norm behavior or concerns she had and updated me daily. I know my dog was in good hands and well taken care of
Amy has been our go-to dog and house sitter for years. She is fantastic! One of our dogs can be a little quirky with new people but he warmed up to Amy right away. On our recent vacay, she took care of our dogs, feeding the fish in our pond, and the stray cat that comes round twice a day for meals. She is the best!
We had a great experience with Daisy. As a first time user of Rover services, we weren’t sure what to expect but Daisy put us as ease right away. She was responsive, punctual, and detailed in her questions. She took good care of our pets and home. Thank you, Daisy!
We are so grateful to have found Mallory to help with our pup! I can’t recommend her enough! She was so wonderful and attentive with our dog and kept us updated the whole time we were away with photos, videos, and messages. We will definitely be booking her again 😊🐶 thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,613 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chalfont. 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 Chalfont 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 Chalfont 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Chalfont 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
