“Chance is THE absolute best! We recently had our dog trainer, who always boarded our boys, move away, and we were beyond stressed trying to find pet care we could trust in a pinch before leaving on vacation. We know our GSD can be a handful for some, which has always been the main source of stress in finding care, but Chance was PERFECT for the job. We didn't have one single moment of anxiety, stress, or concern while we were away for the week because we knew our pups were in the right hands (which is so huge!). Chance sent us picture and video updates multiple times per day, and the boys seemed as happy as can be in his care. We truly cannot recommend Chance highly enough!”
“Sara was great with Max. And Max loved Sara. She was great with updates and took very good care of Max while we were away! Loved his walk and play time that he got outside!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals, including dogs, cats, & fish for family members, family friends, and I have always been given good reports! I love animals so much! I’m working part-time, so i’m available whenever! 7/30-8/14 I will be unavailable, but anytime beyond that i’m available to love on and care for your pets! Safety and TrustI always prioritize a Meet & Greet before booking. It lets me learn your dog’s specific quirks, house rules, and exact feeding or medication routines directly from you. When we go out for walks, my phone stays in my pocket and my eyes stay on your pup. I don't let strange dogs approach us, and I always double-check that collars and harnesses are securely fastened before opening the front door. Because I am house sitting, your pet gets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment, which naturally keeps their anxiety low while you are away.My Approach in Your HomeSince I don't have pets of my own, your dog gets 100% of my undivided attention and affection. I treat your home with total respect—keeping it clean, quiet, and secure exactly how you left it. Since there is no yard, I focus on providing structured, high-quality neighborhood walks and plenty of indoor playtime to keep them happy and exercised. When I'm in your space, my main goal is to maintain your dog's normal day-to-day rhythm so they barely even notice you're gone.
About: I have wanted to work with animals for as long as I can remember! It is something I am extremely passionate about. For a bit, I used to volunteer at the Lycoming County SPCA and LAPS. My previous job was at a grooming/boarding facility and currently I am a veterinary assistant and in school to be a veterinary technician. I work well with all types of animals and all types of breeds. I’m trained to read body language very well and watch for any signs of fear, stress, and anxiety. On top of all of this I have been also working on getting my fear free certificate to ensure I’m providing the safest and calmest environment for your pet! I’m also well trained to give medications whether it is oral, transdermal or subcutaneous. I can easily accommodate to your usual routine to make your pet feel comfortable no matter what it may be! As I have mentioned previously, I work at a veterinary hospital full-time. It is my priority as it is my main job, and helping me get through school. Although it is a priority, I will never neglect your pet! They will be taken care of always before or after if I need to. My hours vary from 8-10 hours a day depending on staff and/or needing to finish what I am working on. It’s more common than not that I get off late. I’ll closely monitor your animal at all times I am with them. I will never give them anything without permission first. They will always be safe with me! I know exactly what to look for. I’m even taking a course to get certified in fear free to give all animals in my care a safe and easy experience.
“We had complete peace of mind while we were on vacation knowing Ludi was caring for our dogs and our home. She is authentically genuine, incredibly kind, an excellent listener, and a wonderful communicator. She kept us updated, was attentive to every detail, and cared for our home and pets as if they were her own. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Ludi again, and we’ve already recommended her to our family. She is truly someone you can trust, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided. Highly recommend!”
About: I have volunteered with dogs at my local spca for years. I have also watched friends dogs frequently! I love all dogs of all shapes and sizes! I am an 8th grade english teacher. Any weekdays before 7 or after 5, and weekends anytime! I am very flexible, and willing to work with you! I have one dog, she is a gently greyhound and very sweet! I take her on walks daily and fetch at the local dog park if it’s nice outside! She does well with other dogs, she can get defensive over food so I will muzzle her or kennel her when food is present!
“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Fantastic experience having Trinity watch our senior dog with special needs as well as 4 cats. She was more than capable of handling all of our needs. She handled our pets and home with care including an unexpected illness. She has a natural way with animals and we definitely wouldn't hesitate to hire her again!”
About: I’m a Navy veteran who loves working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve trained puppies and adult dogs in basic obedience and off-leash e-collar work, and I’m currently teaching my own Doberman advanced obedience. I’m big on structure, patience, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. My daily routine revolves around my Doberman. I spend time every day training, walking, and playing with him. Working with dogs is a big part of my life, and I want to add more dogs to my schedule. I enjoy staying active, helping dogs learn, and giving each one the care and attention they deserve. I provide care that is structured, consistent, and tailored to each pet’s needs. I use my knowledge of animal behavior to understand and respond to each dog’s cues, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well-supported. I maintain their routines for feeding, walks, and exercise, and incorporate training and mental stimulation when appropriate. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is always to provide attentive, responsible, and compassionate care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time now. I volunteer at the humane Society by my college and take dogs on walks/day trips. I only work my job 9am-2pm on Saturdays, which makes me very open any other times and days. And would be happy to take care of your dog whenever needed I can easily crate your dog if needed and feed and water. I will spend time with your dog on drop-ins to make sure they are happy. Love taking dogs on walks and will make sure they get their energy out.
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
“Sierra was great! I got lots of pictures and my pets were very well cared for! She went the extra mile to give me peace of mind during my trip. I came home to a clean house and my fur babies in great shape! I will definitely ask for her for future trips and highly recommend her to care for your babies!”
“Madison did excellent watching our house and pets. She ensured that all their needs were met and the house was very well cared for. The dogs were very happy and tired when we got home. Would recommend Madison to anyone!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my 32 years of experience, beginning in my teenage years when I cared for neighbors’ dogs. As a dog owner myself, I hold myself to high standards and treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Due to working in a school full time, I have the most availability in the summer and winter breaks. In addition, I am available evenings for drop ins and weekends for house sitting. At the present time, I am not offering boarding- but this is subject to change. My three year old golden retriever lives with me and is always eager to make new friends, ensuring a fun and social environment for your dog. Based in NEPA, I focus on providing personalized, loving care for each dog I look after. I look forward to hearing from you! If you choose house sitting, please note that I do need to bring my well behaved quiet golden retriever. I do have a travel dog crate I can bring to keep her confined for your peace of mind. As someone who loves pets and takes great pride in caring for my own, pet care is always a top priority in my daily routine. When it comes to your pet, it becomes my first obligation as well. I follow a strict feeding schedule for my one dog—once at 7 a.m. and again at 5 p.m; meanwhile, my other dog is a graze eater and has food in her dish 24/7. We also dedicate at least an hour to play, whether it’s fetching a ball, relaxing while watching TV, or playing with stuffed animals, sometimes more often than not a lot more than an hour. Rest assured, your pet will receive all the care and love they deserve! I prioritize a consistent schedule and routine for both my pets and client pets, which includes regular feeding, playtime, relaxation, and walks. Safety is my top priority, and I ensure that your pet is well cared for in a secure environment. In my home or yours, I have crates, multiple rooms, and gates available to provide space for pets to relax if they need some time alone or if they become too rambunctious. Rest assured, your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well attended to while in my care. I cultivate a more homey environment for my pets and dogs I watch, which sets me apart from kennel life.
About: You and your pet will feel confident in my care as I have cared for dogs and cats all of my life. I have owned pets with special diets. I understand the importance of following a diet for your pet's health! I have owned pets which needed for love and affection, tending to the pets and owners needs is what I am here for! I enjoy working with any and all pets of any size. I have volunteered at a local shelter for the last 5 years so I have experience working with pets that aren't just mine. Patience is key. Patience and the desire to learn about the pet. I am available at any time, for house sitting, pet boarding, pet walking, or other pet care
About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life, and I haven't found a pet that doesn't like me. I currently own a German Shepherd dog and a Jug dog. Dog walking is my forte. I am originally from PA, have lived all over the country (when I was in the Air Force). I am available primarily in the morning and afternoons. Other times available upon request. I am able to handle all types of animals, including big and smalll, young and old, aggressive and timid. At the moment, I am available most days.

Available most days, I currently have Sundays and Mondays off of work. I work 1st shift, and can come home on my hour long break My dogs are well fed and always have water available. They get treats periodically. Outside breaks occur ever few hours that I'm home, and outside play is always a great time
About: I had only dogs for many many years and absolutely love dogs! I then moved abroad for the past 12 years and due to living in a building which allowed no dogs I decided instead to invest in a kitten.. Here we are, years later and I've become rather cat crazy! We have 4, 3 of which we brought with us all the way from the UK to love with us here in Danville. I love how each cat carries their own personality, likes, dislikes and quirks and I have learned to be patient a great deal thanks to these little flurries of fur. I also once owned rabbits, chickens, peacocks, fish, a squirrel named "Giblet" and spent time around cows and pigs as well. Animals give us warmth and love, be it a cozy chihuahua or a frowning lizard and I love them all! I am new here in town and wish to establish myself as a carer and guardian of your pets when you need a hand. I genuinely will love and cherish them in the short time I might spend with them.. Their safety, happiness and calmness are important to me and I will give all my devotion to them while in my care or in your home. I hope to be here for you anytime you need.! We have just moved here from the UK in mid 2024. Our 4 cats are the biggest part of our lives and as I work from home I am so attached to them! That freedom can also allow me to care for your pet as well and love them as if they were my own while you are away! For now I have decided to offer myself up to visit your home when you wish to feed, walk and play with your pets as well as those necessary litter box details if you have cats.. I am honest and dependable with a deep love for animals and for being kind and gentle. I won't just feed them and leave.. Whether you have dogs, cats or any other animal, I will spend some time with them, make sure they feel safe and warm and be your eyes and ears during your absence. I would be thrilled to send you photos or video or even a live face to face call with your pets. I am a southern boy raised by strong southern women and I absolutely will respect your home, property and pets. In the near future I will also offer a boarding option as well after I've settled in here in Danville. I am willing to travel a but out of the area if you need as well. Other services I will consider providing are house sitting your home with or without pets. I am flexible and truly well meaning and respectful and hope to become your "Go-To" Guy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Duboistown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Duboistown on Rover is $37.45 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 86 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duboistown. 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 Duboistown 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 Duboistown 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 Duboistown 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
