“Leigh was amazing with Duch yet again! I was updated without having to ask and had the peace of mind that Duch was in great care! Leigh goes above and beyond and I was so thankful to come back to a happy pup!”
“Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.”

“Thanks to Paz, I could enjoy my holiday knowing the pets were well cared for. Paz sent me more than enough updates with pictures and texts, keeping me updated about the pets. I would recommend Paz as a trustworthy petsitter.”
“Brad did a fantastic job caring for our senior Greyhound in our home during an international trip. He was communicative, responsive, and asked questions when needed to ensure he was providing the best care for our girl. I’m very grateful that Brad’s professionalism allowed us to have a worry-free vacation! And a bonus- the house looks even better than when we left it.”
“Angela was great with our pets! It was so nice being able to get away and know that our fur babies were in great hands! She sent a ton of updates with hoo this. She also went the extra mile to ensure we made it home safely to ensure our pets were taken care of! I will definitely be booking Angela again!!”
“If I could give Katy 10 stars, I would! I’m very particular about who I trust with my dogs, but she is officially a miracle worker. Not only were my dogs clearly pampered and happy, but she went totally above and beyond by cleaning my house, something I didn't even request! Coming home to happy pups and a clean home was the best gift ever. She is professional, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately. Already booked her for my next trip in May :)”
About: I love all types of animals, and I always have. I have been taking care of my dogs as much as I can for the past three years. I have taken care of my family members and friends' dogs for a while. They think of me first because I am caring, considerate, and I can't say no to a cute, fluffy face. I am good at controlling behavior on walks, food-motivated tasks, and getting them to trust me. I hope you will trust me with your pets. I just got done with my 2nd year of college, so I will have plenty of time now to hang out with your animals! I am available any time of day for however long you need me to keep your pet happy. I have a decent-sized yard with a fence, I will keep a close eye on them the whole time, I can crate them if necessary, and I have reliable transportation at any time of day.
“Elizabeth was an incredible pro through the whole process. This was our first time using Rover and having someone stay with our dogs at our residence and Elizabeth made the whole process great. She was even able to navigate one of our dogs who has some social anxiety and we can’t wait to hire her again!”
“Lillie did a great job with her drop in and overnight visit with our Lexi. She is a very conscientious individual who kept us well Informed of everything that was happening while we were away. We felt extremely comfortable with her caring for our 15 year old cockapoo while we were away and we definitely will use her again in the future. Beth”
“Lauren was so great with Sadie. Very attentive and kept me well informed! It was a comforting knowing she was in good hands while I was away! I will definitely be requesting Lauren again!”
“Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)”
“Daisy is such a lovely person and was so kind to my dogs. Both took to her right away. She followed feeding and medication schedule with no issues. She also sent us photos and checked in every day. My dogs love her and we are so appreciative of her taking care of them with great care. I will be using Daisy in the future and highly recommend her. Maria B”
“Roxanne is so sweet & so fabulous with our Gracie. We are traveling so much this summer and she takes away our anxiety when we have to leave Gracie behind. Roxanne is super reliable and updates us throughout her stay. We are so grateful for her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cheyney
Annie was great with our 13 yr Eskie mutt dog who is very slow to warm up to strangers. We had an intro, a drop in and a full day session over a 2 week time period. Her calm and steady approach soon won him over. He was walking on leash with her and accepting pets very quickly! She is punctual and great with confirming appointments and communication. We received updates and photos of our dog during the sitting. Great experience, would hire again!
Angela is hands-down the best pet sitter we have ever had! She stayed at our house for 9 days while we were out of the country, and we were able to fully relax knowing our dog, Bear, was in the absolute best hands. She truly treated Bear like a member of her own family. To top it all off, we came home to the cutest note and beautiful flowers. Angela is amazing, professional, and genuinely cares. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!
Chloe watched my 2 senior dogs for me over a long weekend and we had a wonderful experience! Chloe is responsible, smart, caring, and responsive. She let us know everything was good at home so I could enjoy my weekend away and I did not have to worry. I would definitely recommend Chloe to my friends and family!
She did an excellent job. The house was clean and everything was put back properly. I think Doc had a good time. He seemed happy to see us, but he was doing well. We really appreciate the job that she did. We were away for two weeks and had a very nice vacation. She sent us pictures. We will definitely use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cheyney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,321 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cheyney. 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 Cheyney 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 Cheyney 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 Cheyney 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.
