“Heather watched our 2 dogs and cat for our wedding day and I couldn’t say enough amazing things! This was the first time we ever had someone else take care of them while we were gone. Usually my parents do, and so I was nervous to say the least. Heather exceeded all my expectations! She loved our animals like her own, they loved her and felt so comfortable with her, she sent me updates, listened and followed all our instructions for what to do, and gave me peace of mind to enjoy my big day! I highly highly recommend Heather!! She was the greatest and we definitely plan to use her again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my family's home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture. I milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is bordered by a forested dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie-doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large rear deck with a fenced gravel space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
“We cannot say enough great things about Andrew! His amazing care for our furry kids and home was top notch!!! Our furry kids were so relaxed when we got home! He sent numerous photos throughout his entire stay and is a true animal lover. Wish we could give 100 stars!”
About: I have over 30 years experience with all kinds of animals. I had a hobby farm for 20 years and have experience with cats dogs horses, sheep pigs we even have had reptiles of all sorts! My children were fortunate to be raised with animals. I am an avid outdoors, person, and love animals. I have trained several dogs/cats over the years as well as horses. Perhaps the cat may have trained me.😊 I look forward to meeting your pets and treating them like one of my own. Lynne I am a registered nurse. My schedule is open Monday- Friday as well as certain weekends. I am very flexible and we can discuss your pet needs. I am available to sit your pet in your home, dog walk, drop in, medicate as needed. In certain circumstances, I may be able to sit your pet in my home. I am open to sitting farm animals as well due to the experience I have.
About: I grew up around animals and worked as a vet tech for 6 years. I know every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, medication, special feeding instructions, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m comfortable providing personalized care. My veterinary experience also allows me to recognize changes in behavior or health and communicate concerns appropriately. Most importantly, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. Since I’m currently not working, I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for pets during both the week and weekends. I can provide consistent daily care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping their routines on track. I’m also available for additional needs, such as pet sitting and spending extra time with them throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and their usual daily routine. I provide plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and fresh water while keeping their space clean and tidy. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel comfortable and at ease.
About: “I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15 Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and all sizes in between, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time ( WFH ) , which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekdays/weekends ( ANYTIME ) and for walks or drop-ins on weekdays after 5pm & weekends anytime. I love spending time with animals and look forward to giving your pups lots of attention and playtime. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. My home is a pet-friendly environment with two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. I am very comfortable using crates for feeding or sleeping if that is what your dog is used to, and I always ensure a supervised, high-energy, and safe atmosphere.
“I cannot recommend Syd highly enough! She stayed at my home for two weeks while I was away and took amazing care of my Leo. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated, gave Leo plenty of love, attention and care, and treated him like he was her own. Not only did she take wonderful care of Leo, but she also looked after the fish, watered my plants, and kept my house in great shape. Coming home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home was such a relief. She went above and beyond in every way, and I would absolutely book her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Syd is the one!”
About: Since the day I was born I’ve always had a dog around to take care of. He was my entire world, always treated him like my baby. My Grandparents also had two cats that I would take care from time to time. I just moved from Orlando Florida back to Laflin pa where I originally grew up and I’m currently a middle school teacher in Wilkes Barre I unfortunately do not offer boarding but I have no problem hanging out with furry friends in the comfort their own home! I’m very neat and ALWAYS treat a clients home with respect.
“Maurie was great with our dog Finn for a week. She gave many updates and stuck to his routine, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend Maurie for your needs and will book again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 279 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Freeland. 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 Freeland 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 Freeland 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 Freeland 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
