“Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!”
“We absolutely LOVED our experience with Chrisalyn and will definitely book her in the future!!!! She was amazing with my pack of wild and crazy huskies and sheperds!!!!! She had them more well behaved than I could ever do in just a few hours. The boys and Angel loved her!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats over the past few years. I’m very good at following care instructions. I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have cerebral palsy so Im home the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to genuinely care for your pet. This schedule allows me to be attentive to all your pets needs. I ensure your pet feels safe and loved by providing a clean, secure environment. I follow all care instructions, maintain a pet-friendly space, and offer constant supervision.
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”
“My husband and I are new to the area and don’t know many people yet, so using Rover for the first time made us a little nerve wracking. Briana was absolutely AMAZING and took such incredible care of our dog. He truly loved her, which made us feel even more at ease. She went above and beyond, sending tons of pictures and frequent updates throughout the day which completely put our minds at ease. Knowing our boy was in such loving and capable hands meant everything to us, and we will 100% be using her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I am currently unemployed so taking care of your dog(s) is my top priority! So whether it’s staying at your house over night, or just coming in occasionally to check on your dog, I’m your guy! I work well with dogs in any environment, big yards, small yards, or even no yard at all. I am very good at commanding dogs & keeping them out of trouble while also letting them have fun at the same time.
“Maggie was great! Super friendly, super prompt, excellent communication, very respectful and polite. The dogs loved Maggie and they were well taken care of during their visit. Highly recommended!”
About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”
“Kennedy was wonderful with Izzy. She is a very elderly dog and needs a little more attention than most and Kennedy took great care of her. I will use Kennedy again when she is available!”
About: I’ve lived with animals of all sizes since before I could walk. I love meeting new anims everywhere I go and do my best to understand and respect them. I see pets as family members, and believe they should be treated as such. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I will keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about any scheduling changes. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pets are family, too. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing. I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs and have experience with pets of all sizes.
“May is awesome! She is extremely nice and very caring! She was very responsive to my texts to check on Zsa Zsa and sent pictures which helped to reassure me my old pup was doing ok. Thanks again May!”
About: I’ve own dogs since I was little. German Shepherd, poodle, Mastiff mix. Board and dog sitting for friends and family throughout the years. Love dog company, caring for them, providing the best attention, playtime, basic training and good nutrition to ensure their happiness and a healthy life. Animals are like family. Their wellbeing is very important to me. They are just amazing and precious. My last best friend, my boy Dice, (now in heaven), a 110lbs American Bulldog, was potty trained at 3 months old. As he grew, I taught him not to pull when on a leash, to sit and lie down, to be cool when we had visitors, to seek, fetch, obedience and other basic commands that are important to teach at an early age. When I was away from home, I made sure he had the best sitters or boarding possible. I understand you would like the same for your dog. After 14 happy years, sadly, age came with arthritis, difficulty standing up or walking. But I was there 24/7 to provide the best care and love. I administered oral medication every 6 hours for 1 year, allowing him to still do very short potty trips and walks outdoors. The last 4 months of life, all was done indoors. I helped to get to an area I prepared to go potty. Sometimes it happened on the way. He had to be cleaned up several times a day and fed by hand. Sleepless nights always by his side. We made several trips to the emergency hospital until the doctor said it was time to let go. Very painful. His ashes are with me now. He will be forever in my heart. I will do it all over again. Dogs are like children. They deserve all the best. Until I find my next best friend, let me give yours all my love and attention. I work from home with my own schedule. I have plenty of time to provide all the attention he/she needs to be comfortable, loved and happy. Keeping your dog mentally and physically entertained is important for a perfect day. I don’t have a fenced yard but plenty of outdoor space, surrounded by trees for short walks on a leash, games and a backyard deck & porch for free time and fresh air. Your puppy will feel at home and cozy.
About: I have been caring for pets for as long as I could remember I grew up in a household that always had cats and dogs. One of my favorite things to do is spend time with animals. I have four years of professional experience assisting my mom with her pet sitting services. I I have done drop in visits walks and overnight house sitting. I not only have experience with cats and dogs, but I also have experience with puppies, birds, mice and even pigs. I do my best to fit into your pet’s normal routine. Whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’ll make sure they get care when they need it most. If you have specific timing needs, just let me know and we’ll work it out. Pets are our best friends It’s important to know they are I. Good hands when we can’t be there for them. I would be sure to treat your animal with the same love and care and attentiveness that I treat mine. I want to provide trustworthy and reliable care so that you know your pet is well taken care of while you are away. I would be sure to follow any guidelines you have for the well-being of your pet. I look forward to making new pet friends
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since early childhood. Love walking and caring for my dogs and my neighbors since my early teens. Currently, my fur baby is a 7 year old terrier mix who is the joy of my life. I’m currently seeking pet sitting opportunities in NEPA to be closer to family. My wife and I work from home so we are able to be available anytime of the day and provide frequent walks and care. We routinely walk our own dog a minimum of 4 times per day. I understand the desire to have your fur babies comfortable in your own home. I’ll continue their normal daily routines and make sure they get lots of pets and play time with their favorite toy.
“Kayla did such an amazing job house-sitting and taking care of my two dogs during two different trips for the holidays. Both of my doggos, including my 16+ year old senior mix who has some special needs, were happy and healthy and calm when I got home and the house was exactly as I left it. She was easy to communicate with and clearly did a great job taking care of our pups and keeping them at ease while we were gone! We'll definitely be booking with her again and recommending to friends!”
About: Hi there! I can walk far distances and I get along with dogs well! I live next to a walking trail so it is perfect for a nice walk, dogs love it! I also live next to some parks so I can play with your dog to blow off some steam so they are less destructive later! I clean up after any messes and will keep your dog hydrated and happy. I can handle breeds both big and small with ease. Not willing to handle aggressive dogs, sorry! Leash trained dogs are preferred. I hope to be able to walk your dog soon!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Courtdale
We couldn’t be happier with the care Ivy gave our beagle puppy, Macey! From the moment we met her, Ivy’s warm, calm presence immediately put us at ease, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. She was incredibly responsive and communicated with us throughout Macey’s stay, sending frequent updates and adorable pictures that made us smile. It was clear that Macey wasn’t just being watched—she was genuinely loved. Ivy took her on walks to the dog park, played with her, and treated her with so much patience, kindness, and affection. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Macey was in such caring hands. We are so grateful to have found Ivy and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet as if it were her own. Thank you, Ivy, for being so great with Macey!

FAQs for House Sitting - Courtdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 216 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Courtdale. 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 Courtdale 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 Courtdale 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 Courtdale 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
