“Absolutely amazing and reliable dog sitter!! She kept my Sasha very happy and sent plenty of photos keeping me updated. She also left my apartment spotless and went above and beyond. Would definitely use again.”

About: I feel as though I automatically connect with animals first in a room full of people. I have a deep love for animals. I have been caring for my puggle for about 8 years now, I truly feel as though he is my son. I enjoy spending time with animals of all sorts. In the past, I owned a rabbit, hamsters, fish, cats, hermit crabs, you name it. But, I find that dogs often times have personalities that they portray of the owner when I interact dogs, which I find very amusing. I have a knowledge base of bathing dogs, tick and flea prevention, immunizations, etc. I feel as though I am a very energetic/active individual who would very much enjoy the company of your most trusted companion!
“Cathy was great! She communicated well and was really good with my babies. She respected my home and kept it tidy. I highly recommend her and will be using her again soon!”
“Caris was the BEST! We were leaving town on short notice and Caris didn’t hesitate to watch our boy for the first time. I knew from the moment I met her and she met Oliver, that he would be well taken care of. She sent photos and updates every day, many times per day which put me at ease. I would definitely recommend Caris to anyone!”
“This is the third time Paz has taken care of my little, crazy chihuahua. She always does a great job, and puts up with all his bad habits. She is someone I can trust, and will use again.”
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Alyssa did great with Nina and Pepper! She took care of Pepper's meds and paw bandage change, and both of them were happy and relax when we returned from our trip. Thank you Alyssa!”
“Really cared for the cats, great communicator, and kind person! It was so nice to go away knowing the cats would not only be cared for but they would be cuddled and loved! Could not recommend her more!!”
“Brandi took wonderful care of our pup. Our Millie girl has gotten to know Brandi and loves when she comes to “visit”…we can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind we have when away from home as our dogs are in great hands”
“Syd is a great and fun kitty sitter. They have stayed with my cats twice for a week each. I get lovely pictures and updates everyday. Syd’s care and positive energy puts me at ease when I have to be away. I will continue to hire Syd to watch my kitties as long as they are available. I’m so thankful!”
“Jessica exceeded every expectation! I was out of the country for 10 days. Jessica house sat and took care of my two 11-year-old cats. My boy needs meds every morning and evening. She made great effort to make sure he got the meds, especially the first couple of days when he was getting used to her. She actually brought gates from her home and moved furniture so that she could give my boy his meds. She texted me every day with updates and pictures. I recommend her without hesitation. She's great!”
“Rozz did an exceptional job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away for a week. I highly recommend her. She is kind and thoughtful and I felt very secure that she was looking after our house and pets”
“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”
“Raquel is a delight. She is warm and responsible. Listens carefully to all instructions for watching your beloved pet and follows through. I recommend her without reservation!!”
About: Hi there! I’m Mara, a loving, caring, and responsible pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs. Growing up with my two beloved pups, Bodoque (dad) and Junior (son) both being Maltese-French Poodle mix, I learned how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. I am bilingual (Spanish) and eager to accommodate pets of various ages and mobility. That’s why I’m saving up to become a certified Pet Communicator! Yes, you read that right—speaking with your furry baby to understand their needs and feelings even better. Your trust helps to deepen this connection and make this dream a reality.! Why Choose Me? I genuinely LOVE dogs, all kinds! Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s medication, extra attention, or just some tender loving care. My goal is to make sure your furry baby feels at home, safe, and happy while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. My husband and I recently lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Meatball, in 2022. He was 16 years old and the heart of our home. Although we miss him dearly, we have so much love to give. Think of us as the cool aunt and uncle who adore spending time with your pets! Beyond pet sitting, I aim to build a deep connection with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved during their stay. Your Pet’s care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love starting my mornings with a walk, which is the ideal time to take your furry baby out, especially before it gets too hot. If I know a pet is coming, I plan my day around their needs—whether it's scheduling walks, giving them their medicine, or just spending quality time together. And if I have to step out, my husband is always here to make sure your pet is cared for. When caring for your furry baby in our home, we treat them with the routine and love present on their own. My husband and I create a relaxed, loving environment where your pet is free to be themselves. Whether they prefer lounging on the couch, sleeping in bed with us, or sticking to a specific routine, we accommodate their needs to make sure they feel safe and at home. We're easy-going and flexible, and we even enjoy teaching new tricks! Your pet's happiness, wellness, and comfort are our top priority.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drexel Hill
Krystal stayed at my home with my 2 dogs for eight nights while we were away. One dog has anxious tendencies and the other is epileptic and requires twice daily medication. Krystal was able to not only accommodate their needs, but recognized their little quirks and adjusted to make them each more comfortable. She kept our place tidy, was in frequent communication, and responded promptly.
Berrangere was an incredible sitter to my dog. She was responsive and even arrived early to our meet and greet which I really appreciated. My doggo was happy and was comfortable with Berrangere. Thank you so much! I will be booking with you again! Best, Diamond G.
She did a great job with our Bear! She was super sweet the whole time and sent us some videos while we were away. Bear was well taken care of and loved. Naomi stayed in our home which we were very comfortable doing! Would definitely recommend for future references:)
Alyssa is an amazing sitter. She is kind and thorough and clearly loves caring for pets. What more could you ask for? She left my house just as she found it and my dog and cat were clearly comfortable and happy after being with her. I look forward to hiring her again soon.
Attentive, responsive, and great with my cats! I would definitely hire again. Danielle has a very nice demeanor that allows them to approach her easily. She took great care of my home and sent me updates with pics daily. I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of them.
Amelia was absolutely incredible with my dog, Henry, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the moment I left, I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She followed all of his routines so thoughtfully, paid close attention to his eating habits, made sure he was comfortable, and genuinely treated him like he was her own. Henry can be a little particular at times, and Amelia was so patient and attentive to his needs. It was clear that she truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. She also kept me updated throughout my trip, which meant so much while I was traveling. Every message and photo reassured me that Henry was thriving and getting plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog says everything. Amelia is reliable, communicative, compassionate, and an all-around wonderful pet sitter. I would trust her with Henry again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Mara watched my 2 dogs over the weekend and she was amazing! She was on time, very communicative, and sent lot of cute pictures. Both dogs loved her and had a great weekend hanging out with her. She even helped one of them get over his fear of having his harness put over his head. We will definitely be using her services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Drexel Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drexel Hill on Rover is $64.48 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,583 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Drexel Hill. 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill 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.
