“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! ❤️”

“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.”

“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of my wonderful dog Wes and my temperamental cat muffin. I felt they were safe and in good hands with Amber. She took Wes to the park. They had quite a few outings, she really loves animals.”

“Brianna did a great job watching our house and elderly pup! She had great communication and we appreciated the frequent updates and images. Our house looked just as good as we left it, nothing out of the ordinary. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”


“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog and 2 cats. She was professional, arranging a meetup and taking seriously all our pets needs. She went above and beyond to make our pets and ourselves feel secure. She provided regular updates and took plenty of photos. She kept our house clean and even provided toys for the pets. We recommend Christina for anyone needing her services.”
“Chesnie was a great sitter and I feel lucky to have found her! She was fantastic at communicating with me about my dog re updates/pics/videos. She also was proactive in communicating her plans and when she would be away from the house. She left the house in good condition and I can tell my dog was well cared for. I also had an issue with my return travel and she was able to come back to take care of him, even though that wasn’t part of our original plan. I would definitely recommend Chesnie to other pet owners and I hope to have her again in the future! Thank you Chesnie!”

“Korrina was amazing with our Golden while we were out of town for the weekend. She communicated often and was reliable. She left our home clean and took good care of it while we were away. Would definitely book her again!”

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.
“Sabrina was wonderful with our beagle Penny while we were out on a cruise. She was super communicative, and understood all our instructions (and boy did we leave some lol). Our house was returned to us in perfect condition, and you can tell Penny really enjoyed her time with her. We'll definitely use her again, and will recommend her to others in the Tucson area. It was so nice to not have to worry about our girl while we were away!”
“Danielle has come for drop ins and a few nights of housesitting. The most important thing was that my dogs love her! But, she also took great care of the house, followed instructions and provided check-ins so I knew everything was going well. Happy to recommend or use her services again.”


About: I've worked with animals since I was 8 when I started volunteering and fostering at my local humane society and working as a dog walker. I have also worked as an emergency vet technician, kennel technician, and at a doggy daycare. I am familiar with all types of animals and feel comfortable providing the highest quality care to your pets. Right now I have three families whose pets I watch on a regular basis, and I am looking for a couple more that would like ongoing care! I offer student and healthcare worker discounts if services are paid through Venmo! I am currently only working a few hours every week and have plenty of time to be there for your pet to give them the time and attention they deserve. When pets are staying in my home, my family (adult sister, mom, and dad) all help to provide care to pets as well. This way there is always at least one person home with your pet. They all have plenty of experience with animals and are confident in providing care. I have reliable transportation that will allow me to easily commute to your home. I also have a fenced yard and two extremely friendly dogs to keep any of your pets company for those interested in boarding.
“Elena is absolutely the best! She took care of my high anxiety Australian Shepherd and got his trust super fast. She has the sweetest personality and I got daily updates on how my babies were doing. She will be my number 1 go to person from here on out to stay at my home to watch my babies again.”

“Oliver was amazing! We were gone for an entire week and I didn’t worry once. He communicated throughout the week with texts and photos. He lovingly cared for our three dogs, watered our plants, and fed our fish. I am so happy that we found Oliver and I hope that he’s available in the future took care for our four-legged family members! If I could rate higher than five stars I would. We highly recommend Oliver!!!”

“Hay took such great care of our pups. Very responsive. Updated us regularly (but not too much). Our pups have some unique quirks that Hay had zero trouble managing. We felt comfortable and confident knowing the dogs were in good hands. Not to mention, an overall lovely person!”

“Pamela is a saint! ...Trustworthy, compassionate/patient, and WORTH IT! My dog doesn’t make friends easily. Pamela listened to and implemented ALL the little things that made our 17yr old male dog relax at home with his regular routine for 9 days without his family! He’s gradually losing his eyesight/hearing and takes medication for his joints to reduce inflammation. I had ring cameras in the home and saw the love and patience all day and night. We walked into a clean home with our old soul at ease and extremely happy! She even got our dog to make an extra friend to keep him company per my request! I actually look forward to not being scared to leave for a night or two in the future knowing how well taken care of he will be:) Pamela, thank you for spending every night with Theodore and for texting me pictures/communicating with me each time I reached out! We are forever grateful for you because we booked you last minute and it worked out so well!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Drexel Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drexel Heights on Rover is $31.08 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 1,018 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Drexel Heights. 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.
