“Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.”
“Desiree was awesome. Berty and Otter love her. They had a blast. Desiree did a great job communicating how the dogs were doing. Dogs were chill and happy when we got home. We really enjoyed all the photos she sent of our furbabies :). We will definitely use Desiree again”
About: I have three dogs of my own back at home, all boys, two small and one big, and they truly are my babies. I have always loved being around dogs and giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and company instead of just being left alone. I treat every dog like they are my own and want them to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Honestly, I have always said I love dogs more than people! I’m currently a second-year business marketing student at West Chester University. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the week. I have classes Monday through Thursday. Outside of class, I’m flexible and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs! I’ve always loved caring for dogs and currently have three of my own, two small boys and one big boy who are truly my babies! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with their everyday needs, including walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, care, and love that I give my own.
“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’ve been around pets my whole life, from cats to dogs. I love animals with my whole heart and love being around them! I have watched my family and families friends pets. I am currently enrolled at West Chester University so pet care can fit into my weekly routine after my classes are over which is usually around mid day. Pet care can also fit into my weekly routine when I am not working at my part time job. In my clients home I will make sure I have an eye on the pet at all times and make sure they get everything they need. While also making sure they have a fun time with extra snuggles!
About: I’ve been a pet owner for more than 45 years and I love my animals like they are my kids. That’s what you can expect from me while caring for your pets. I’ve had little dogs and big dogs, cats, fish, even horses. I especially love Great Danes and for some reason they love me. I have no fear of them and appreciate their lap dog in a big dog body personalities. My favorite thing is when I’ve just met a new Dane, within a few minutes of meeting them they are comfortable enough to start “herding” me. This is when I know I’ve gained their confidence and trust. Most of them try to sit on my lap, I always let them. ❤️? I’m currently working remotely and have flexibility with my work and schedule. I can be available on a short or advanced notice for visits in my home or yours. I have a semi fenced yard and 2 dog parks nearby. I have 2 cats. One is social and inquisitive while the other is a princess and lounges in her royalty most of the day. Your pet and I would be besties and get as much or little attention as they desire for the duration of their stay with me.
“Extremely happy with our experience. Caitlin came to meet me and the dogs before I booked her. We felt very confident that she was a good fit. She was very accommodating as we were away for the holidays. Caitlin kept in touch the whole time our girls were in her care. We came home to two happy healthy dogs who were well-cared for. We definitely recommend Caitlin to anyone who wants to feel confident that their pets' needs will be fulfilled.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was 5. Golden retriever, beagle and many, many kitties! I have also fostered cats! I’ve had bunnies as well. I love to pet sit. I’m currently a college senior with a very open schedule. I work a part time job at a bakery Tues Thurs and Saturday! I only have classes during the mornings and I’m very flexible. My priority is making your baby feel safe and comfortable! Whatever that takes I will do to insure your pet is happy. Happy to take advice or instruction from owners prior to the sit!
“Kai and Devon were awesome! They were so kind and friendly and our dogs took to them immediately. We knew the dogs were well cared for because of constant communication and pictures. When we came home the house was way tidier than ever before and my husband was so shocked. It was a great surprise to come home to - a sparkling clean house after vacation. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again for our next vacation.”
“Mary stayed with our boys for two nights. When we returned, the boys were safe and happy, and the house was clean. We truly appreciate your help. We’ll definitely reach out again in the future.”
“Cienna is a wonderful sitter. She is clear and prompt with communication, kind and trustworthy. She took amazing care of our pups and also our house. She reached out when she had a question or needed clarification on something, which I appreciate so much. I have no doubt our dogs were well loved while we were away. I would not hesitate to have Cienna back to watch our dogs again!”
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.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah. Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. This background gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and taught me the responsibility it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. I love connecting with animals of all shapes and sizes, and I bring that dedicated, farm-raised work ethic to every pet I watch. It fits in with the care that I provide for my pet. Strict feedings schedules, walks, attention, bathroom breaks and being aware of how a pet is acting. Respect for the clients' rules about how they want their pet cared for and respect for their personal space. Also, making sure animals get along.
“Karly is very kind and responsible. She took care of all four of my furbabies so well, they really enjoyed spending time with her. She’s respectful of all the house rules as well. I’m completely stress free when she house sits our pups and cats.”
“Maurisa was great with our shy dog. She kept us informed of daily activities and also sent tons of pics. House was very clean when we got back. Our dogs blanket was folded across her bed too!”
About: With vet tech experience and a lifelong passion for dogs, I provide knowledgeable and loving care. Having cared for pets since I was 10, I understand their needs, behaviors, and health cues. You can trust your babies will be happy, safe, and well-loved while in my care! As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to prioritize your pet’s care. I’m an early riser, enjoy staying active, and love spending time with animals, so walking, playing, and caring for your pet will always be a top priority in my day! My goal is for you to have peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm in your home or your pet is in mine, you can be assured that they are in a safe, well-maintained environment. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, given plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection :)

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!
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 5,261 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.
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 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 , 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.
