About: For most of my life, I’ve been taking care of animals of varying sizes and energy levels. Many of these were shelter rescues, so I’m used to animals with different needs. I’ve also had two years of experience with walking and caring for dogs at the BVSPCA. I asked my dog for a comment and she said, “woof woof,” which I take to mean “very good.” I’m currently at home from college for the summer. I love meeting new animals, so I’ll definitely make sure my schedule works around taking care of your pets! From my own experience, pet sitting can be a very hectic experience which is why I always pay attention to the details. The two things I say most often, when I’m with my dog are, “that’s a tomato… don’t you dare eat it,” and “yo, get out of the bathroom.” Whether I’m walking or feeding my dog, I make sure her environment is safe, stressfree, and filled with love.
“Mary was spectacular while sitting for our dog, Holly, overnight in our home while we were away. It was a short trip but she kept us updated constantly with photos and messages detailing how much she ate, her activity level, mood, and bathroom activity. Mary was punctual, so polite and pleasant to speak with, and extremely professional. You can tell she takes her job caring for animals very seriously. I would 100% recommend Mary and definitely plan to book with her again the next time we’re away.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and cats and am ready to take care of your pets! I grew up with two shih tzu's and can't remember a time without them. My family recently got a new dog, Ollie, so I have experience with puppies as well. I have been pet sitting on ........ for a while to give myself the ability to travel! I've used that to travel to Nashville, DC, NJ, and I can provide reviews from that profile as well. I'm looking to do some more pet sitting in my area as I work 100% remotely and have a lot of flexibility during the day. I'm very comfortable around animals of all kinds and I will make sure your baby will be well taken care of. A little bit more about me is that I love to have a lot of hobbies! The ones that take up most of my time lately are country line dancing, swing dancing, and paddleboarding. I work remotely so I am very available during the day! If pet sitting at your home, your pet will become my coworker and may appear in one or two of my meetings throughout the day. Because of my job I am very flexible with my schedule and can make sure you and your pet's needs are taken care of! I have experience pet sitting in other's homes for a while now and have used it to travel to new places! I'm very comfortable in someone else's home, learning the pet's needs and schedule, and making sure they are comfortable in their own environment.
About: I’m an active student home for the summer who loves dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs and have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things, and pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I bring patience, compassion, and attentiveness to every animal I care for. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and housebreaking, and I take a gentle, calm approach with senior pets to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also comfortable maintaining routines, administering medications, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are extremely important to me. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, extra snuggles, or simply a dependable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets such as chinchillas. And of course, you can expect plenty of photo updates of your furry family member relaxing, playing, and having fun! I am a full time student at Northeastern University, home for the summer! I have a very flexible schedule, and happy to accommodate! Your furry friend will get lots of snuggles and exercise. On nice days, I enjoy going on walks at Marsh Creek and French Creek. I am always willing to explore new areas or dog parks if that is something your dog enjoys! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to exercise, so they feel secure and relaxed. I keep the environment safe by pet-proofing spaces as needed, checking for hazards, and ensuring doors, gates, and enclosures are always secure. My focus is on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel at ease. I also send regular updates, so owners can see how their pets are doing, building trust and peace of mind throughout my time with them. When going on walks with pets, I ensure they stay safe and engaged by choosing familiar, pet-friendly routes and always keeping them on a secure leash. I’m attentive to their behavior, making sure they’re comfortable, and I avoid any potentially stressful situations. If your dog has any special needs or diets, please let me know so I can be sure to accommodate them and ensure they have the best stay possible!
“My wife and I were delighted with the job Lila did for our dog, Doc. He is a rescue with abandonment issues, and this is the first time we are leaving him for an extended vacation of three weeks. Of course, he missed us, but he is doing fine, and our home was taken care of well. We will be using her again.”
“Keerthi was awesome. They were responsive. Our pups were happy when we got back and our house was cleaner than we left it!. We got pics and updates and they gave our dogs Lots of love and attention. We even have an older special-needs dog that they did a great job making sure meds and care was given. Definitely recommend and will absolutely use them again! Thank you.!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with Annie as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our high-energy, anxious pup, and we could tell from the start that our dog felt safe and loved in her care. Annie was incredibly communicative throughout her stay, sending us tons of updates, messages, and pictures, which made us feel at ease the entire time. It was clear she went above and beyond to ensure our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”

This is the second time we’ve relied on Marissa for dog sitting / house sitting and she does an excellent job! Marissa is an excellent communicator, asks greats questions, and follows all instructions. She takes such great care of our dog Velveeta and she sends regular updates and photos. Our home was spotless when we came back from a week away. Thank you, Marissa!
Casie and her husband Karim were a huge help in taking care of my Benny. He is a senior dog and has many medications and can no longer go up stairs. She was very willing to administer all his meds and her husband Karim slept downstairs on the sofa so that Benny would not have to be alone at night. I also love that Casie is home full time. Great communication and sent lots of videos!
Nessa was a great communicator and easy to work with! My dog seemed to love her. She sent pictures every day throughout the day and was flexible with her schedule. Barkley is excited for his next visit from her! She stayed in my home with my dog and left it neat and tidy. My dog has medications and some interesting eating habits. She was able to handle all requirements.
Lexi is phenomenal. Her responsiveness and follow-through from the start has been remarkable and consistent, and she's terrific at communicating/keeping one posted. Her flexibility and willingness to help when things change at the last minute are really wonderful, and in a short time, I've come to rely on her deeply. I can't recommend Lexi highly enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Exton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Exton on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,493 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Exton. 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 Exton 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 Exton 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 Exton 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.
