“We have two large, anxious dogs and finding a sitter we trust can be difficult. Greg is a total exception. Communication was consistent and reassuring, updates and photos throughout without us even having to ask. Greg genuinely knew how to handle big, nervous breeds. Calm, patient, no rushing, our dogs were relaxed by the end of the stay and it put our minds at ease.”

“We are so grateful that Alexandria was able to watch our dog, cat, and house. Our pets a little quirky - we have an anxious dog and a very sassy cat who like things to be their way, and Alexandria was totally accommodating. She handled their medications, multiple foods, and bathroom breaks without an issue and sent lots of updates while she was with them. Our dog in particular can be a hider/runner, so I wanted to make sure he was watched carefully and Alexandra did that and more. Ever since adopting our anxious dog, we have not left him alone with anyone but family because we were nervous how he would react. Alexandria is the first "stranger" he's been with and he took to her immediately, happily cuddling up with her! I look forward to being able to plan more time away knowing that our dog and cat will be well cared for, and knowing that they will be comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend Alexandria to anyone, because if she can handle our pets, she can handle anything!”

“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”

“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs. I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so my #1 priority is providing a safe, structured, and fun environment while you are away. I am trained in canine first aid, experienced with high-energy small breeds, and skilled at administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, sticking to their regular feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and reduce anxiety. I am extremely communicative and will send you detailed daily updates with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. My daily routine is incredibly flexible and built around your pet's needs. Whether I'm staying overnight at your house or just doing daily drop-ins, I offer early morning, midday, and evening visits with ease. For extended stays, I simply bring my laptop and work remotely from your home. This means your pets get constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and your house stays occupied for as long as you need me there. I know what it's like to lose a pet, so safety will always be my number one priority. Trust and security go hand-in-hand with my remote work lifestyle. Since I'll be in your home for extended periods, I can actively keep an eye on both your property and your pets. I take my responsibility seriously: I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, and clean up after your pets daily. I am meticulous about locking doors and windows behind me. I will closely monitor your pets for any subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I always aim to leave your home exactly as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it.

About: From the moment I took my first wobbly steps, I was surrounded by the boundless energy and unwavering loyalty of dogs. Growing up, our home was a haven for wagging tails, wet noses, and endless games of fetch. Each canine companion left an indelible mark on my heart, teaching me the true meaning of companionship and unconditional love. However, as life's journey led me into adulthood, my path took a surprising turn. Amidst the chaos of responsibilities and newfound independence, I found solace in the tranquil presence of feline grace. Now, as an adult, my home is graced by the soft purrs and independent spirits of cats. Though their demeanor may differ from the boisterous antics of my childhood canine friends, their quiet companionship fills the spaces between my moments with a gentle warmth. Through the transition from dogs to cats, I've come to appreciate the diverse ways in which animals enrich our lives. Whether bounding through fields or curling up on the windowsill, each furry friend has left an indelible pawprint on my soul, shaping me into the person I am today. As a dedicated teacher with summers off, I find myself with ample time and flexibility to extend my nurturing care beyond the classroom. With a deep-rooted love for animals cultivated from a lifetime of companionship, I've embraced the opportunity to provide compassionate care for other people's pets during the sunny months. Throughout the summer, my schedule opens up, allowing me to devote my days to the well-being of furry friends in need. Whether it's frolicking in the park, enjoying leisurely strolls, or simply providing a comforting presence at home, I ensure that each pet entrusted to my care receives the attention and affection they deserve. My experience as an educator has equipped me with patience, responsibility, and a keen sense of empathy, qualities that seamlessly translate into my role as a pet caregiver. With a commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment, I offer pet owners peace of mind knowing that their beloved companions are in capable hands. From morning walks to midday play sessions and evening cuddles, I tailor my schedule to accommodate the unique needs of each furry client. Whether for a day, a week, or the duration of the summer, I take pride in providing a loving home away from home for pets, ensuring they thrive in an environment filled with love, care, and companionship. As a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, my commitment to the well-being of each furry friend entrusted to my care is unwavering. With a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of both dogs and cats, I approach every interaction with attentiveness, compassion, and respect. From the moment I meet a new furry companion, I take the time to establish a bond built on trust and understanding. I recognize that each pet has its own preferences, quirks, and routines, and I make it my priority to familiarize myself with these intricacies to provide personalized care tailored to their individual needs. During dog walks, I am attuned to the signals and cues of each canine companion, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for both of us. Whether it's a brisk jog through the park or a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, I adapt the pace and route to suit the energy level and preferences of the dog in my care. As a pet sitter, I am committed to creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for cats and dogs alike. From maintaining regular feeding schedules to providing enriching playtime and cuddle sessions, I strive to emulate the love and attention they receive from their own families. Above all, I understand the importance of open communication with pet owners. I provide regular updates and feedback, ensuring peace of mind while they are away from their beloved companions. Whether it's a quick check-in or an extended stay, pet owners can trust that their furry friends are in capable hands, receiving the attentive care and affection they deserve.

“When I met Sir, I found him to be courteous, kind and attentive. He asked several questions about our pets including their needs, likes and dislikes. He interacted with them and they seemed very comfortable in his company. During his house sitting we found him to be dependable and communicative. We received several texts and pictures letting us know how things were going and what is plans were that day. Our Tippy requires medicine application twice daily and Sir made sure to let us know his medication had been given. His interactions and attention to our pets was top notch! He cleaned before he left. We found Sir to be responsible, trustworthy, and his care of our pets gave us great peace of mind. We will use his services again in September and highly recommend him to care for your beloved pets.”

Emily came through once again for Mr. Max! I felt so bad because I had just gotten him a new brand/flavor of chews and they just did not mix well with Max's belly, so Emily had to deal with a puppy with bubble guts! But Emily took it in stride, even made some white rice for him and by the next day he was back to his high energy, zoomie running, constant tug of war self. Thank you Emily for making this puppy mom feel at ease!

Anne is awesome! She patiently listened to my “dog mom” ramblings while we were away as I remembered info we forgot to write down. She sent updates and pics of our pup in the yard and playing in the house. Sochi has a few special needs so we appreciated that she was proactive in clarifying info about his med schedule, exercise needs and showed concern that his appetite seemed off. Anne will be our first call next time we need a “sitter” for our pup!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cherry Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Cherry Hill on Rover is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. 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 5,424 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cherry Hill. 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 Cherry Hill 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 Cherry Hill 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 Cherry Hill 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.

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.
