“We're grateful we found Stephen! He came to our hotel to pet sit, putting our dog immediately at ease. By the time we got back, they were best buds. Highly, 100% recommend.”
“Hailey was great! My animals were so comfortable and happy from her being there while I was away. She took great care of them and my home. This is the first time I’ve used a sitter for my pets and home but I would use Hailey again and again!”
“Pam spent the weekend with my two dogs at my home. She was great with communication and updates. When I got home, the house was cleaned up and the dogs were happy! Appreciated her help!”

About: I have experience caring for my family’s two beautiful Australian Shepherds, each with a personality completely their own! First, there’s Coco—also known as “Loco Coco.” She is incredibly sweet, very anxious, smart as hell, and somehow equally goofy. Caring for Coco has taught me the importance of patience, reassurance, and understanding that every dog experiences the world differently. Then there’s Ember. She’ll growl when you pet her… and then growl when you stop petting her! She can be misunderstood and a little moodier, but she is also incredibly loyal and loving in her own unique way. Ember has taught me to respect boundaries, understand body language, and recognize that affection doesn’t always look the same for every dog. Having experience with two very different temperaments has helped me become patient, understanding, and adaptable when caring for animals. I approach every pet as an individual and will take the time to learn what makes your furry family member feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, goofy, independent, cuddly, or a little misunderstood, I will provide care personalized to their individual wants and needs. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them with patience, understanding, confidence, and plenty of love—regardless of their personality! I currently work full-time as an Environmental Scientist with a flexible schedule due to the nature of my work. My position allows me to work remotely, in an office, and onsite at facilities, which gives me flexibility and makes me accommodating when it comes to scheduling pet and house sitting. I am also open to traveling and overnight stays! Because I can work remotely at times, I enjoy the opportunity to spend time in new places while also providing reliable care for your home and pets. I truly miss having furry friends of all shapes and sizes around, and I would love the opportunity to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I am very accommodating and will always do my best to work with your schedule, your pets’ routines, and your individual needs. Your home is your safe space—your sanctuary after long days—and the last thing I would ever want is to disturb that peace of mind. I would treat your home and your pets with the same care, respect, and consideration that I would want for my own. This is your time to relax, travel, and enjoy your vacation or whatever may take you away from home. The last thing you should have to worry about is paying for a service while feeling uncomfortable or uneasy about leaving your beloved pets and home with someone you don’t know. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your home is being respected and your pets are being cared for with genuine attention and compassion—so you can truly relax while you’re away.

Experience working as a vet tech including first aid, animal grooming, training and behavior, and as an animal chiropractor for ~15 years. We do have a kennel license through the state and as such, we require a copy of your current rabies vaccine and dog license (easy to do and only about $12 online!). Question on this? Just ask! We have several older children who help out with daily care, walks, and feeding. One parent is stay at home and the other parent works flexible hours.

About: I love dogs! They are the best creatures and so much more than just a pet. My Boston Terrier & I were together for 14 years, from pup to the end of his beautiful life. That bond is something I carry into every dog I care for. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs, fostered an adult dog through the ASPCA, and I treat every pup that comes into my care like my own. When you leave your little love with me you can breathe easy knowing they’re safe, genuinely loved, and in the best hands. I look forward to connecting with you and showing your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and am available throughout the day. Pet care isn’t my routine. Your dog will receive my full attention, love and care whether that’s a walk, a drop-in, or a cozy boarding stay at my home. In my home, dogs are free to explore and feel at home. I have a large yard where they can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. I love being outside and regularly take dogs to the local nature preserve for walks and hikes. I have a smoke free home and can accommodate crating if needed. I never give treats without owner approval and always clean up immediately. At your home, I show up with the same level of care and attention. Throughout every visit I send photos and updates with the same level of care and attention. I’ve been told I should be a dog photographer so expect some really great pictures of your baby!
“We used Abigail over 4th of July weekend and she was great about giving our dogs medication on time and helping them stay calm through the fireworks and thunderstorms. It was our second time using Abigail and she's been fantastic both times. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated throughout the day on how our boys were doing.”
“Tim was very punctual and reliable. He stayed at our home and took care of our 3 multiple, special needs dogs and our 2 cats while we were away for 5 days. He took care of their needs and made us feel that our pets were being well cared for while we were away. We don't often leave the pets for extended periods of time, so it was great to have someone that we felt we could trust to take care of them.”
“So appreciative of Kailyn and what great care she took of Hazel and our home. And she did this while not feeling well. Her communication is exactly what we are always looking for. Quick to respond and she was proactive letting us know when she would be leaving the house. Highly recommend and look forward to using her again. Thank you Kailyn!”

“Jessica was wonderful with our Pug and 3 cats. She bailed me out in a last minute situation and they were all so happy when we returned. We will definitely call her again! 😊”
About: I have nearly two years of professional experience working as a kennel assistant at two different animal care facilities, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, monitoring animal health, and confidently handling pets with a wide range of behaviors, including anxious, reactive, and energetic animals. I have also volunteered with cat rescue organizations, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption into loving homes. As a pet owner myself, I care for one dog, four cats, and a lizard, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, responsibility, and compassion that every pet deserves. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. In a few weeks, I will be starting college to become a veterinary technician. Once classes begin, I will be available after class Monday through Thursday and will have open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I will do my best to be flexible and work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love and attention, ensure a safe environment, and treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care.
“Chelsea was awesome. Our cat who hides from ALL visitors was sitting in her lap being petted in a few days. Our dog is also a challenge and Chelsea was great with her. Helped her in thunderstorms and fireworks. Our house was in great shape when we returned. I will definitely use Chelsea again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,392 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elverson. 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 Elverson 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 Elverson 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Elverson 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.
