The house was in perfect order upon my return, my animals happy and healthy. Fantastic job and lots of pictures and feedback! Thank you so much Danielle!”

“Madison was absolutely amazing! She watched Ellie for my boyfriend and me while we were on a trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ellie adored her from the start! Madison kept us well-informed the entire time and sent plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was happy and well-cared for. We will *definitely* be using Madison again. She truly is the sweetest, most caring girl, and we’re so grateful we found her! ❤️”

About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Nurse with 4+ years of experience providing professional, attentive care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From high-energy pups to senior dogs and those with medical needs, I'm confident handling a wide range of behaviors and care requirements. I prioritize safe, structured walks, positive interaction, and maintaining your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. I'm comfortable with leash training reinforcement, medications administration, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience and care, I provide dependable, knowledgeable support so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. I currently work full time as a Certified Veterinary Technician, so I am frequently available for early-morning and evening care. This makes me a great fit for before-work, after-work, overnight, and weekend care needs. I'm typically available for morning visits and walks, as well as evening drop-ins, feeding, and extended care. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, routine-based care, especially for pets who do best with consistency. I'm committed to communicating clearly and planning ahead so your pet's needs are always covered with gaps or stress. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out - I do my best to accommodate recurring and flexible schedules whenever possible. I provide all pet care exclusively in the client's home, where pets feel most secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and allows me to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruptions. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter box care, enrichment, and medications, while also being attentive to any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to keep your pet calm, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Reese did an absolutely amazing job. We had recently had a horrible experience with a different sitter and had a lot of reservations about using Rover again due to that. However, Reese made us feel great. She followed our instructions, kept the cats safe, and gave us updates. We’ll definitely hire her again.”
“Thank you so much for watching over our babies. I felt super comfortable since we did do a meet and greet before the actual babysitting. She sent pictures every day and we really did feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely book again.❤️🙏🏼”
“Liz did a truly wonderful job of taking care of our two year old rescue golden. She helped Holly navigate her nervousness around our absence - it was the first time we left her to travel. But with Liz, she did great. Liz walked her every day, helped her stay on her routine, played with her and made her feel loved while we were gone. The most important thing for us was that Holly was not alone over night and Liz was happy to stay overnight with Holly for our entire trip. Liz made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease with her phenomenal communication during our trip. Every day, she sent pics, even videos, to keep us updated on all of Holly's adventures. When we got back, the house was spotless, our plants were thriving (different from their usual state!), and Holly was happy. We have another trip on the horizon in a couple months and we will definitely be booking Liz again. Thank you so much!”
“Cass was wonderful with my fur babies. She took the time to play with them and kept them entertained. They enjoyed her company. Cass was very respectful with them. Thank you Cass for being amazing with my fur babies!”
“Marnesha was wonderful. She communicated, sent pictures and was on top of everything. One of our dogs takes a while to warm to new people and Marnesha had her charmed in no time.”

Melanie looked after our multiple pets very well and also cared for our house while we were away for 10 days. We felt very comfortable with her and the house was in great shape when we got home, and the pets were all healthy and happy. Melanie stayed in touch throughout our trip. We would be happy to have her back again.
Amanda is so wonderful in every way. Very active with the animals- cuddles, plays and walks them and so great with communication. My cats are pretty cautious guys, but with the pictures I can tell they are super comfortable with her. She also takes great care of the house. She’ll always be my preferred go to sitter ☺️

FAQs for House Sitting - Drexel-Alvernon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drexel-Alvernon on Rover is $38.85 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 1,015 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Drexel-Alvernon. 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-Alvernon 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-Alvernon 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-Alvernon 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.
