“Kaylee has done well with my pups. Both dogs get lots of love. Even though my Belgian is very high maintenance my Maltese still got lots of love as well. Highly recommend Kailee”
“Reyna was wonderful! She sent several pictures of the dogs each day along with a daily recap. The house was left in wonderful condition! We will definitely use her again.”
“Olivia watched our 13 year old dog, Izzy during NYE weekend. She did a fantastic job communicating with us and sent a lot of pictures and videos of Izzy. It helps ease some of the stress of leaving an older dog when there is someone taking such good care of her.”
“I read a review saying Tianna once stepped in to fix a logistical nightmare and she did the same for us! We had to cancel our original sitter last minute because we didn’t want our dogs kenneled all day. After a quick FaceTime, Tianna totally understood their routine and came right after work to stay with them. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Our dogs felt comfortable right away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She’s the first person outside of family we’ve trusted to watch them, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Nick took care of our home and our dogs with very short notice. He took great care of everything. I would definitely recommend and will be happy to have him look after everything again.”
“My dog loved Katie. She took wonderful care of him and my home. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so pleased. I will definitely re book with her again for my next trip.”
“Phenomenal dog sitter, would recommend her to anyone who would want to feel at ease and comfortable for your time away from your animal. She was extremely communicative with us, followed of our requests with medication and necessities for Franklin. Our dog is particular about who he meets and he immediately loved her and it was very much reciprocated. She left our house impeccable and couldn’t even tell someone stayed there. I highly recommend Mary, will only book her for my dog!”
“Dawsen came to our rescue with a last-minute house sitting request with two dogs. I was so impressed that she was able to give my older dog her medicine successfully (she can be stubborn) and keep my younger dog from tearing up the house. Dawsen sent great updates during her stay, and when we came home, the house was clean and well-taken-care-of from her stay. We appreciate you Dawsen!”
“Ashley has dog sat for us for long weekend trips, our boys have been healthy and happy and our house was in exactly the same state of not better. She also worked was willing to meet the boys before setting up a booking and in the weeks before we made arrangements for walks so they could get acquainted. And last she was very understanding and compassionate when we lost a pet and changed the number of pets for the stay. We will definitely contact her for our next vacation, I love knowing my dogs are being cared for in the safety of their own home.”
“I waited until the very last minute to book sitter for my 3 dogs and two cats. Ansley was able to squeeze me in and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She routinely checked in and sent me pictures of how the fur babies were doing each time. I will definitely use her again!”
About: A deep love and understanding of animals runs in my veins — my father is a veritable animal whisperer who passed on his love of fur babies to me. I grew up with multiple dogs in our house and personally believe pets thrive on attention, love, nurturing, and a stable schedule. The love, patience, kindness, gentleness, respect, and playfulness that comes so naturally when caring for a beloved pet is something I believe all animals deserve — and something I’m excited to shower on your fur babies! I appreciate a detailed list of eating/potty schedules, favorite toys/treats, appropriate cadence and frequency of walks, daily playtime, preferred vet, food specifics, medicine specifics, ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF TO MAKE THIS A FUN & RELAXING EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR PET. I work from home and I make my own schedule so I have all the flexibility needed for an awesome experience for your fur baby! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to run and play, as well as a covered patio for them to cool off. We spend most of our time outside, but if it’s raining or they just want to come in, we’ll hang out in the living room where I love playing interactive games — if the pup is up for it!
“We love Brooke! We have booked her multiple times and she is always so great. We had some travel delays and she was willing to stay extra time to account for our delays. She always takes such good care of our pets and they also love her!”
About: I fall in love with anything furry in seconds. I will play and love on your fur babies as I do my own, whether it be in your home or my own. With a large fenced back yard, I promise that your dog with get plenty of play time and exercise while sharing time with me. I work from home, which makes me very flexible to your needs. I have extensive experience with dogs, including mature, special needs dogs, I would love to care for your pup and look forward to bringing them into my extended fur family. Let's set up a meet and greet! I work 100% remote from home and I'm available 24/7/365 except during scheduled vacation days, which is very seldom since most family lives nearby. Since I only take 1 dog at a time, or 2 if from the same client, I guarantee my full attention to the care and happiness of your puppers without the chance of unfamiliar dogs not getting along... it happens, right!? have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play, a large crate/kennel that is used only upon request, dog bowls, toys, both plush and chew types. I clean, including the backyard, after every booking. I am familiar with animals that need special care and attention. I can also send pictures and video (upon request) of your dog enjoying their stay to keep your mind at ease.
About: Taking care of animals has always been my passion ever since I was a little kids. I've helped take care of pets since I was about 10 or 11 I'm currently unemployed so I'm available anytime you need me. I prefer a days notice when needed to be available to be with your pets. I would like to know if you have a fenced yard or if there's any special care needed for your dog. I can also crate your dog if needed as well. If allowed too it would be helpful if I had a list of things your dog needs done during my time there as well. Or also if there's a specific diet that your animal is on.
“I was overly impressed with Brittney and how attentive she was while watching Brody and Benny. Her communication was excellent, and she provided updates throughout the day. She noticed something potentially off with Brody and made sure to reach out to me while I was out of town to inquire. I highly recommend Brittney if you're looking for someone to watch your pets! I will certainly keep her information handy for the next time I'm away!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have had pets in my life since I was young. One of my dogs was Tibo, a tiny teacup Chihuahua who brought so much personality and love into my life. Today, I have a Lab mix named Tyson, who is truly the light of my world. Having him has given me an even deeper appreciation for how special the bond between people and their pets can be. I genuinely love getting to know animals and discovering their individual personalities. Every pet is different, and I believe they each deserve patience, attention, affection, and care that is tailored to who they are. Whether your pet loves long walks, lots of cuddles, playtime, or simply having someone around, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Most days, I’m at home working on my graduate school coursework, so I have the flexibility to take dogs on walks, provide companionship, and give pets the attention they need throughout the day. I occasionally work part time at Free People Movement at Penn Square Mall, but my schedule there is limited and varies. When I’m not working or focused on school, I enjoy spending time with my partner and friends and traveling. Because I’m home much of the time, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be present, attentive, and flexible, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my day! When caring for a pet, my top priorities are always their safety, comfort, and well-being. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to understand their routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner. For house sitting and drop-ins, I’m respectful of my client’s home and make sure pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions closely and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. For walks, I always prioritize safety by staying aware of my surroundings and making sure pets are secure and comfortable throughout our time together. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a small child. I enjoy making sure your pets have a great time with me. I currently work from home during the day but am able to come by in the mornings and late afternoon/evening. If you have alternative plans while I work such as a friend or family member stopping by, that is okay with me. I do not work weekends so I am 100% free those days as well. If this is your first booking, use my discount code to save $20! It is BLAKET69308 I will ensure that the pets don’t go outside alone. I will ensure they have all the food and water and treats they need per your instructions.
About: Since the age of 10, I have developed a deep passion for animal care, providing reliable and loving pet sitting services for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. With over 23 years of experience, I have honed my skills in ensuring the well-being and happiness of pets in my care. I currently work full time. Available for check-in and walks part-time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del City
Brooke was great and took excellent care of our dogs! She came to our house prior to pet sitting to meet us and learn where everything was. She was a very good communicator and sent us a lot of updates and pictures while we were away. Thanks for taking good care of our pups!
Seras watched our two shepherds and our home while we were away and she did an awesome job. She stayed with them whole time and gave updates throughout our trip and she even cleaned up a bit which was so appreciated not coming home to mountains of dog hair. We will definitely be booking with Seras in the future and would recommend her if you’re looking.
I waited until the very last minute to book sitter for my 3 dogs and two cats. Ansley was able to squeeze me in and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She routinely checked in and sent me pictures of how the fur babies were doing each time. I will definitely use her again!
Kailee I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful care you took of Charlie Brown while we were away. This was the first time we ever left Charlie at home. (Normally he travels with us). Knowing that our dog was so well cared for each and every day allowed us to really relax and not worry about him while we were on vacation. We are forever grateful for the awesome job you provided caring for Charlie Brown Thanks a million

The average cost of House Sitting in Del City is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $70 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Del City 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 Del City 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 Del City 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
