“Dina is such a kind, caring soul and it is felt in every way by my sweet fur baby, Thunder absolutely loves her gentle spirit. I recommend her highly to anyone needing a sitter for their pet. She is also prompt, professional. Thanks for taking such good care of Thunder, Dina.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Michelle: she is a delightful, friendly lady and all three of my dogs (two of whom are typically very shy around new people) took to her immediately at our initial meet and greet. She took great care of our pups while we were at an event; they were so calm and happy when we returned that it was easy to see they had a great time with her. She was very flexible and accommodating in that she had no problem sitting from the late afternoon until the very early morning hours when we returned. Best of all, she forwarded several fantastic pictures of our dogs--so much better than any in our collection and a great surprise. She's a truly gifted animal photographer in addition to being a kind, gentle dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Chesnie was very professional. On time, great communication, and her love for animals is obvious. She was great with Sadie and made her feel comfortable very quickly. Definitely recommend!”
“Ollie took wonderful care of Astro. She arrived right on time, was attentive and caring, and even went out of her way to take Astro on a hike. She sent us photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. When we got home, Astro’s toys were scattered around the house, so it was obvious they had spent plenty of time playing together and that Astro had a great afternoon. We felt very comfortable having Ollie care for her and would happily recommend her.”
“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!”
“This was our first time having Lisa watch Henry and Ruthie and she was great! They seemed very happy and content when we got home. Great communication and the house looked great! We will invite her again to watch our pets!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Rudy! She was kind, professional, and very thorough, asking great questions ahead of time to make sure she knew all of Rudy’s routines and needs. While we were away, she sent us regular updates and pictures, which really put our minds at ease knowing he was happy and well cared for. She clearly treated Rudy like her own — giving him so much love, attention, and care. We came home to a very happy dog and an impeccably clean house. She was so respectful of our home and lived in it gently, leaving everything just as we left it. It’s obvious she truly cares about the pets and families she works with. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was young. I have 5 years experience with taking care of both hairless and furry dogs. Through my own dog and watching my friends pets. I have handled anxious and hyper dogs before and will try and make your baby as comfortable as possible. I have experience with exotic pets such as rodents, birds and reptiles and can care for them during your time away as well. I am currently a university student and have weekends and various days during the week free to take care of yourself pets while you are gone. I can stay with your pets all day or do check ins twice a day. I am an attentive sitter and try to let dogs out every hour while making sure in the hot arizona weather that they don't burn their paws. I am also glad to do excursion dog sitting and can take them out for hikes and long walks as the weather cools down.
About: Providing expert, high-level care for pets with complex needs. Whether your companion is senior, disabled, exotic, requires daily medication, or needs cautious handling for behavioral traits, I offer safe, knowledgeable, and dedicated care. A pet fits smoothly into my weekly schedule. Although I work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, I wake up early for morning routines and am fully free after 5:00 PM for evening care. My job is extremely flexible if an animal ever needs mid-day attention. Weekends are ideal, as I have full availability to provide attentive care all day and night. When pets enter an unfamiliar setting, I give them a quiet room to adjust at their own pace, maintaining their normal routine with periodic check-ins until they feel safe. In their home, I stick strictly to their schedule and give them space to relax. Every animal is different, so whether a pet is cuddly or standoffish, I respect their boundaries and offer love on their terms while keeping you updated on feeding, outside time, and behavior.
“Lauren did a fantastic job. Including a picture of the day, it looked like I never left my house. She’s very responsive to texts and my puppy Bella was well taken care of. I highly recommend Lauren….”
“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.❤️🙏🏼”

“Denise was awesome taking care of our home and Izzy while we were on vacation. She sent updates and communicated and even helped Izzy when our pest control showed up unexpectedly. She took care of all our plants and made sure Izzy was loved while we were on it of the country.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drexel-Alvernon
Lauren followed our lengthy instructions perfectly and asked for clarification when our instructions were incomplete. She sent photos of cuddles that showed us how much our pets trusted her. The house was immaculate when we returned, and all of our plants were healthy. Highly recommend!!!
Thomas was incredible with our 2 dogs. He conducted a meet/greet prior to our departure. Both dogs immediately loved him. He is an actual trainer, which also greatly benefited us. I could not believe how much our dogs learned in just 5 days. Thomas was amazing with communication and check-ins. He went above and beyond with brushing the undercoat of our shepherd and even taking out trash when he noted that neighbors had their cans out [not at all expected]. It was so nice to return to a clean home and happy/well cared for and happy dogs! I absolutely would 1000 % recommend his services!
Ollie is the best! My dogs loved him and I can tell he loved them, too. He took care of them- like they were his own, plus he took great care of my house and went above and beyond in that respect. I trust him completely. He sent pictures of the dogs daily and kept in good contact with me while I was gone. He is definitely my dogs pet sitter as long as he wants to be, which I hope will be for a long time!
Brindisi took care of my 2 dogs in my home when I was out of town for nearly two weeks. My dogs took to her instantly. She did everything that I asked of her and then some. And my dogs appeared happy and healthy when I returned home. She communicated well and asked good questions to ensure a successful dog sitting. I would entrust her again to care for my dogs.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Drexel-Alvernon is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,003 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
