“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”
“Camri was incredible. She took amazing care of our pets. She had a family emergency but prioritized our family in the midst of everything she was going through. We are so incredibly grateful for her and will definitely have her stay with our babies again. Our home looked immaculate.”
“Reyna was wonderful to work with-great at communicating, kept us updated with pictures during her stay, and took great care of our house and dog. We’ve already booked her again for another trip ☺️”
“Alaina was great! She took the boys for some walks, one got muddy and she bathed him, and one also got an upset stomach one day in the house. She cleaned it all up and made sure he was good to go. She really did well with my furry kids. I will use her again whenever I am in need of someone to trust with them.”
“Kringle was very happy with Juliana. She let him cuddle with her at night which he loves. It was nice to go on vacation and not have to worry about him. I came home to a clean house and she even washed the linens and put them back on the bed.”
“Brooke was amazing! We had a very last-minute request after another sitter canceled, and she accepted almost immediately, which was such a relief. She communicated super often and kept us updated the whole time, which really put us at ease. She also sent lots of photos, and it was clear Dash and Coco were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her flexibility and kindness, and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
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!
About: I grew up raising 4 dogs and 1 cat of my own, ranking from big to small. Im super comfortable with animals and I regularly pet sit my own friends and families pets Im currently working part time meaning my schedule is wide open and ready for your pets! I can easily manage the time needed to include your pets into my day. Im comfortable doing whatever it takes to keep your pets safe. I am used to crating animals when needed and I know when to ask for help.
“AMAZING! Rachel went above and beyond in communicating with me and sending me daily pictures of my furbabies. They absolutely loved her too and it was a great piece of mind knowing she was there for them in my absence. Absolutely will be using her again and highly recommend her to everyone.”
“Sabrina looked after my two big boys (a Lab and a Weim) while I am recuperating from a medical procedure. She was excellent with my boys and they had no problems with her. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Cassie always goes above and beyond with house sitting and watching my animals. This is the second year we have used her for any and all house/dog/cat sitting requests and she has never once let us down. We so appreciate her attentiveness to the animals, respect to our home, and love she gives to our animals. The pictures at the end of the day are always a plus. I always recommend Cassie to anyone looking for an animal sitter.”
“Nicholas was amazing! He was extremely professional, and communicative. Took care of my dog like it was his own. Kept me updated when I asked, left me with no worries! Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
“Christen was amazing with my pets! She sent me updates at least three times a day for house sitting. I appreciate her professionalism, communication, and love for animals. Will be booking again!!”
“This is the first time I have used Rover because our regular dog sitter was not available. I literally can not say enough good things about Ashlyn! My girls absolutely loved her and she sent the best pupdates! She was great to work with and took the stress away of leaving my girls with a new sitter. The Rover process was also easy to navigate as a first time user!”
“Dakota did an outstanding job taking care of our dogs at our home. He was incredibly attentive, making sure our pets were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. It was clear that he genuinely cares for animals, as he went above and beyond to keep them happy and healthy. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her capable hands. We highly recommend Dakota for anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care!”
“Tianna stayed with our 11-year-old Frenchie and cat for nine nights. It was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t family, and she made us feel so comfortable! She video chatted and met with us in person prior to us leaving town, which was so nice. My pup and I have separation anxiety and Tianna made both of us feel safe and secure while we were apart. Tianna was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, was reliable with administering medication, and was comfortable sleeping with our girls since we don’t use crates. We will certainly be rebooking her services in the future! Highly recommend!!”
“Nichelle was great with my pups. Was a weekend if storms and was good with Arya anxiety. She didn’t overmeficate her. Went by my instructions and kept me informed on how she was doing as well as when she was leaving and returning. Highly recommend her.”
“Autumn did great. She came and met my furry babies prior to sitting. Cairo is very timid, but he warmed up to her fairly quickly, and Siberia loves attention . Autumn also periodically sent pictures and communicated with me on how they were doing. I am definitely going to use her again. Thank you Autumn.”
“Excellent sitter! She did everything I asked and my puppies weren’t stressed out when we got home. My home was as peaceful as it can be with 5 doggos. Will definitely use her again!”

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
My pups are extremely high energy and not for everyone but Amber was absolutely amazing with them! This was my first time leaving them with someone I didn’t know so I was nervous and stressed, Amber kept in constant contact with pictures and updates. I’m currently in a sling from surgery and I came home to a clean house. She goes above and beyond not only for the pups but for the owners too.

FAQs for House Sitting - Del City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Del City on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 870 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Del City. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Del City. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
