“Tarah was wonderful with my three dogs. She was very understanding about their special needs and was super great to work with! I definitely recommend her and will hopefully book her again in the future!”
“Thank you, Mia!! Mia took care of my sweet coonhound this past week. She was thoughtful to maintain Jolene’s regular routine as much as possible and quick to communicate with me about any questions or concerns. Jolene had a wonderful time :)”
“Elisa did an amazing job with our 4 dogs. They were well taken care of, she was very reliable, went above and beyond what was asked and my dogs love her. Would absolutely use her again, we had complete peace of mind leaving them in her hands.”
“Emma was great with my dogs, who can be an energetic mess sometimes. She was responsive to texts, sent me wonderful pictures every day, and let me know how they were doing. It really eased my mind knowing they were in such capable hands!”
“Erin is very conscientious and professional. Took great care of Rocko and our home while we were gone and communicated well throughout her stay. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Brandon is INCREDIBLE- what a gem! Took such great care of our sweet girls and genuinely loves all animals. He is so kind and communicative, and was a pleasure to host at our house. We have already booked him again and plan to use him regularly, our cats loved him!”
“Wonderful pet sitter. Went above and beyond in every respect. Showered our dogs with love. Made us feel secure despite the fact that we were states away. Left the house cleaner than when she arrived. Excellent communicator.”
“Mo is very kind and is excellent with our Gracie girl! We also appreciate her level of communication with us. We already have her booked for future dates!”
“Maya is amazing! Fantastic communication, lots of pictures shared with us to keep my heart happy while we were away. The house was kept in perfect shape, probably cleaner than it was when we left it! We have dogs who have to be kept separate at home and she did wonderful with understanding their circumstances and making sure both dogs were well taken care of and given lots of love. She even took them both out on walks during our short weekend trip. I cannot wait to have her stay at our house again.”
“He was just so great with our dogs. I felt really insecure about leaving them for the first time since we moved cross country. Brandon gave me peace of mind and tons of pics with notes that let me know the dogs were perfectly content with their sitter. We’re already planning the next trip and have booked Brandon for a second time. If we ever need dog sitting, he’ll be our go to guy.”
“Jasmine was wonderful!! We’ve used Rover several times and have been fortunate to have some really great sitters, but Jasmine was truly a step above. She sent us photos and updates every day, left our home even cleaner than we left it, and most importantly, spent so much time loving on and caring for our boys. ❤️ It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets and their home. We will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”
“Abby was awesome, we highly recommend her! My partner and I were out of town for a wedding and we needed a sitter last minute. Our two cats are on meds and she had no issues with administering such. I appreciate the regular photo updates, it was great to see our animals enjoying their vacation away from us :). She took great care of our home and we look forward to rebooking!”
“Dorothy was super communicative and accommodating after my sitter cancelled on us last minute. We will absolutely book her again. We got a lot of pictures and felt safe knowing our fur babies were taken care of!”
“Mia is so incredible. My poor baby was having an incredibly rough time adjusting to me being gone. It was our first time apart since we lost my mom, her go-to baby sitter. She started to get sick just about everyday. Mia was so patient and kind. She cleaned up so many messes, poor thing. But my baby began to adjust, and perk up. Mia made her feel safe and loved through the transition. I knew my baby was in good hands but Mia blew me away. She’s such a gem and I am so grateful for her”
“Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!”
“I seriously can’t thank you enough, you did an absolutely amazing job!!! I know Ms D is gonna really miss you. and thank you for cleaning up and everything, that was very unexpected! No one else has been ever been so thorough, professional or informative as Kylie. 100% recommended”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drexel on Rover is $21.4 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 787 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Drexel. 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 Drexel 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 Drexel 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 Drexel 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 Drexel. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
