“Another great experience working with Rich! I will definitely be using him on a regular basis. The photos he sent were so well captured I will be printing them out for my wall💚”
“Alexandria was so great with my dog Neko. She was affectionate and caring with her, and she communicated well with me, to make me feel at ease for leaving her. Alexandria followed all my instructions and was very friendly and personable too. I also really like that she was able to be at my house with my dog for almost the whole stay. That's a very big plus when you have a dog with separation anxiety! I would definitely book her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Kim completely exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, she was responsive, friendly, and proactive — offering to do a video call and a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone felt comfortable. She stayed at our home for four days with our two large-breed dogs, and she handled everything like a true professional. One of our dogs requires slow introductions, and Kim wasn’t phased at all. She followed his lead, respected his pace, and within an hour they were already best friends. Throughout the stay, she provided consistent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a house that was honestly cleaner than when we left it. I will absolutely book Kim again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and capable sitter.”
“Ashley was amazing! Kept us updated all the time, took some amazing pictures of Gunner and wasn’t afraid of the challenge to take care of our anxious boy!! We felt very comfortable leaving and knowing our pets were going to be cared for and loved!!”
“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”
“Whitney did a great job taking care of my dog & cat for a few days while I was away. She was very responsive and I came home to two happy babies. Highly recommend!”
“Alexa did an outstanding job sitting my pets in my home. She sent daily updates that included pictures and videos. I felt at ease knowing my pets and home were in capable and trusted hands.”
“Gabrielle always takes excellent care of our cat and dog. She was able to help us out and watch them quickly when we had a family emergency pop up. I felt rest assured knowing they were in great hands!”
“Janaah was wonderful, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog Willow for several days and nights!!--Janaah is very kind and tolerant of "special needs" pets and medications --my senior dog was terrific when I got back--not stressed or having any issues whatsoever !!”
“Destiny was so amazing with my dog Finn! She sent lots of photos and videos for me and Finn looked so happy! She is so awesome and Finn had the most wonderful time and was very spoiled! Would definitely use her again! :)”
“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!”
“We always know our dog and our house are in good hands with Christopher. He leaves the house spotless, and he keeps our dog happy, healthy, and comfortable, with no complications or other concerns.”
About: I am the biggest lover of dogs! There are no limits when it comes to loving your dog and being a doggie mom myself - there’s nothing more special than loving and nurturing your dog and showing them the best quality of life. They give such unconditional love and to show that love back to them is priceless! I will treat your dog like they are my own - kisses and hugs and running and having fun! I am a nurturer by nature and a protective momma bear and I would always make sure your doggies are in the safest environments. I truly have so much love for all animals and dogs hold a special place in my heart. They deserve the world and more!
About: i have two cats and a dog and they’re amazing! caring for them over the years gained me the experience to be proactive and protective. I work full time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. So on my off days i have a lot of flexibility and time to help out. I treat everyone’s home and fur babies like it’s mine. I have respect and care for those willing to let me help with their fur babies.
“Troy & Shalah were excellent sitters for my puppies! They stayed overnight and made sure the dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated all the picture updates and the care they put in. The house was spotless when we returned, and the pups were very content. I’ll definitely be booking them again for our next overnight stays!”
“This was our second time having Brittany care for Bleu, and I couldn't have felt more confident leaving her in Brittany's hands. While we were away, Bleu had a seizure, and Brittany handled it calmly and with excellent judgment. She stayed right with her, kept me informed throughout, and even sent me a video so I could see exactly what was happening. Being away in Mexico, it was enormously reassuring to know that if something unexpected happened, Brittany could handle it. She is incredibly conscientious and caring. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and newspapers, taking out the trash, and even filling the bird feeder. I feel completely secure knowing Bleu is in her care, and that peace of mind when we're away is invaluable.”
“Katie was an excellent dog sitter! She was communicative, thoughtful, and made sure that my anxious pup maintained her routine - it really felt like a seamless continuation of her life. Looking forward to working with Katie again in the future!”

Alina is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and also my home. I didn’t have to worry about my dog while I was away as there was great communication, pictures sent, and my instructions fully followed. My home was also left in a better state than I left it. She went above and beyond, & I have already recommended her to others😊
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Delanco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Delanco on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,458 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.
