“Ashley was a fantastic pet sitter. She watched our dog a bird over the holiday and could not be happier. Can not go wrong with trusting Ashley with your pet, we will 100% be using her again”
About: I’ve been pet sitting, including overnights at clients' homes, for over six years. I genuinely love getting to know animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and even bearded dragons! I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those who need a little extra patience, including blind pets and those who sometimes have accidents. I always strive to keep my clients' fur babes happy and relaxed so that they feel safe while their parents are away. I also include watering plants and mail fetching in my services. If desired, we can chat about house cleaning rates, too. Thank you for considering me! I work full time but am available to check in on pets in the morning, at lunch, and after work, including overnight stays. When I accept a job, I make pet sitting my first priority! I am happy to flex my work schedule to ensure you receive the best care for your pets and home. It is my absolute priority to create a safe, calm, and familiar environment for every pet that I care for. I am a stickler for following instructions, and even prefer a detailed list of feeding schedules, medication needs, routines, and any behaviors or triggers that may help me with your pet(s). I am detail oriented (which helps in my full-time job, too!), paying strict attention to locking doors and gates, setting alarms, and keeping spaces clear for my furry friends. I also monitor pet behavior and their bodies for any changes that may warrant contacting you. My ultimate goal is your peace of mind.
“We are so grateful that Alexandria was able to watch our dog, cat, and house. Our pets a little quirky - we have an anxious dog and a very sassy cat who like things to be their way, and Alexandria was totally accommodating. She handled their medications, multiple foods, and bathroom breaks without an issue and sent lots of updates while she was with them. Our dog in particular can be a hider/runner, so I wanted to make sure he was watched carefully and Alexandra did that and more. Ever since adopting our anxious dog, we have not left him alone with anyone but family because we were nervous how he would react. Alexandria is the first "stranger" he's been with and he took to her immediately, happily cuddling up with her! I look forward to being able to plan more time away knowing that our dog and cat will be well cared for, and knowing that they will be comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend Alexandria to anyone, because if she can handle our pets, she can handle anything!”
“Naomi was communicative, made sure she understood all of our dog’s needs ahead of time, was timely, and shared tons of updates during her time with our pup. We feel super lucky to have met her! And she definitely has a special way with dogs — my girl is super anxious and was cuddling with Naomi after just a couple hours of hang time.”
“Troy and Shalah are true animal lovers and are so thoughtful to the needs of the fur baby parents as well! They recently watched my baby Stumpy and kept me updated with texts and so many pictures! I had my first dog sitter cancel and they were so responsive when I reached out to them! I am happy it worked out this way as they are wonderful! Don't hesitate to book them! You won't be disappointed”
About: I have been a pet owner for over five years with two cats and one dog that I love so much back in my home state! With that I have over five years of pet care experience. While in college here i’m Chicago, my friends and teammates trust me to walk, feed, and keep their pets safe while working or away on vacation! Available for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Weekends as well! I am pretty flexible with time so just let me know what times work best for you and if you need me to take care of your pet a little longer! Pets are family! So I ensure to monitor them closely and pick up on any signs, issues, and concerns that may negatively impact their safety. I always as pet owners if there is anything specific in their home or on walks that I need to look out for. Such as things their pet may tend to get into or walking routes that have potential hazards.
“This was the second time Gabrielle watched our baby while we were away. Bowie was excited to see her. She checked in frequently and followed every detail of his care. We came home to a happy pup and well cared for pup. Would recommend her for house/pet sitting.”
“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”
About: I have been an animal advocate since I was volunteering at the PSPCA during my childhood. I’m a former Humane Police Officer in Philadelphia. I’m a very experienced with pretty much any animal. Friendly and caring. I’m currently on medical disability and have a pretty flexible schedule minus a few appointments here and there. I am trying to get some part time gigs. I current have a cat of my own, a foster cat and 7 fish tanks. I’m highly experienced in animal care and husbandry. I have much passion, care and respect for animals. I take pride for the hundreds of all kinds of animals I rescued.
“Dana came in clutch and helped us with a last minute request. She provided great updates, followed instructions well, and sent cute pics along the way. She took great care of our 2 big goofy dogs and would definitely reach out to her for help in the future 😊”
“Whitney was so great! When my flight was delayed by 10 hours she was so kind and extremely helpful with staying longer with my dog. She’s the best!”
About: I have experience with all types of animals from cats, dogs, birds, and even chinchillas. Walking them is a pleasure and also makes me happy since they also get some time out of the house. I’m available to walk in the mornings to get that early rise as well as in the afternoons! It’s nice to get to walk outside and get some sunshine but also chill if needed. For my pets on my home as well as my clients I make sure they’re stimulated enough as well as have all the care they need.
“Fantastic house/dog sitter! She did an AMAZING job taking care of my two dogs and keeping us in the loop with daily photos and reports. If you get the opportunity to book with Alexa do it!!”
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“We booked Justine last minute for an overnight trip. She was on time and I think she handled our big and strong dog well. We were in a rush to get out and she even did the dishes we left in the sink! Thanks again!”
“Thanks to Greg we were finally able to go away without our needy pets. We were able to relax because Greg did a great job of connecting with our pets and communicating with us. He followed all of our detailed instructions and cleaned up like he was never here. We hope to hire Greg again for more housesitting. His care is much appreciated.”
About: Caring for someone’s pet also means respecting their home and their trust — something I take very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and calm, and I make it a priority to ensure both pets and owners feel completely comfortable while I’m in their care. I’ve spent years caring for and working hands-on with dogs of different breeds, energy levels, and personalities, and I’m confident handling everything from daily routines to reinforcing good behavior. I’m patient, consistent, and always focused on safety, structure, and positive interactions. Whether I’m stopping in for a walk, providing overnight care, or house sitting, I follow instructions closely and keep pets on their regular schedule so they feel secure and stress-free. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own — and I’m always happy to provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work a remote part-time job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and flexibility to pet care. I’m available essentially every weekdays and fully available on weekends for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and quality one-on-one time with your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a clean and calm home environment, and experience supervising multiple dogs. I closely follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, provide constant supervision, and can crate pets if needed to match their home routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Delanco
Kristen provided wonderful care to my epileptic pup that needed medication every 12 hours. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures throughout her stay. She communicated very well and was very responsible. I would definitely hire her again in the future.
This was our first time using Rover and I'll be honest, I was pretty nervous about it. Alina completely put us at ease. Before the booking even started, she came by to meet Lou and Max and go over everything, which made a huge difference. Throughout the stay she was responsive whenever we reached out, and if anything came up on her end she contacted us right away. She treated our boys and our home with genuine care and respect. We came back to the house in better shape than we left it, and she sent us photos of the boys while we were away which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be requesting Alina again for future trips. If you're looking for someone who is responsive, professional, and truly attentive, look no further.

FAQs for House Sitting - Delanco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Delanco on Rover is $51.06 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 5,664 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Delanco. 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 Delanco 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 Delanco 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 Delanco 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.

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.
