“We are new to the Northeast and planned a trip out of the country for our anniversary. Dustin was very responsive from the beginning. He came to the house prior to meet our pups and get a scope of the house. He kept us informed of their well being with pictures and even made Henry's birthday special while we were gone. He also took great care of the house. Dustin will definitely be our first reserve on future travels. We know both the pups and the house are in great hands.”
“My husband & I were really nervous to have someone house sit, but not only was Ryan awesome with our Yorkie & Fox Terrier but we returned to a clean house. He followed all of our well & gave daily reports on our fur-babies. Thanks so much Ryan!!”
“Natalia was incredible! She took amazing overnight care of our rescue pup with separation anxiety. Throughout the booking process and the period our dog was in Natalia’s care, she was warm, responsive, and accommodating. I can’t recommend Natalia enough!!”
“Eva was amazing! She sent me pictures morning and night of my dogs. When I came home, my house was in perfect shape and my dogs were happy. I highly recommend Eva! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Oreo and Jackson. We will definitely use you again!!!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and several years of pet care experience. As a proud owner of four dogs. I understand the importance of providing pets with reliable care. Over the years, I have pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, making sure their pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while they are away. I enjoy nothing more than spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities and am passionate about creating a safe, and caring environment for every pet I look after. I currently work part-time 8:30 am-12:30 pm Monday-Thursday. Other than that, I am wide open on weekdays and weekends mornings, afternoons, and nights when services are needed. My yard is fully fenced, allowing dogs to play and exercise safely while supervised. I also keep pets separated when needed, maintain a clean and pet-friendly space.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who are treated like royalty. I watch my neighbors pets, dogs, cats, bearded dragon, when they are out of town. I volunteer with a dog rescue when I can, Rylie’s Rescue, transporting, and foster care. I absolutely love all animals! I work part time, 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, from 11-6pm. All other days I’m completely available. I could always stop in before and after work. I prefer to watch in your home, I have 3 dogs, our Toy Australian Shepherd, has had to have surgery on 3 legs, so I rather keep him calm and not bring too much excitement to our home.
“Katie was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs! One of them wasn’t feeling their best unexpectedly, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She was so attentive, thoughtful, and kept me updated every step of the way. You can truly see how much she loves animals and how naturally it comes to her. My dogs adored her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Katie is a well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate young woman—I can’t recommend her enough. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”
“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Emilee. She cared for my Mac (90 lb pit) in my home for 5 days and was wonderful! I had daily updates and pics and everything went so well I felt very comfortable knowing how much she liked hanging with him. I highly recommend her, and am ready to rebook with her for my next trip!!!”
“As a professional dog trainer, I often get asked by my clients if I could recommend a pet sitter. I have been hesitant to recommend a service for various reasons, until now. We recently went on a week's vacation and were looking for a pet sitter to stay with our active dog, Rocky. Not only did we need someone to stay at the house overnight with Rocky, I wanted someone who would also provide him with daily physical and mental exercise. We were so fortunate to have found Tim. From the first meet and greet visit with Rocky, I had a very good sense that Tim would be a good fit for Rocky. Tim did everything I requested, including daily walks/hikes - sometimes more than once a day, interacted with Rocky in play sessions, and made sure he received daily enrichment activities. In addition, Tim is a great communicator and sent me brief updates and photos of Rocky daily. And if all that isn't enough, Tim literally left our home cleaner than when we left. When clients ask me about pet sitters, Tim H will be at the top of the list!”
“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.”
“Valerie was amazing! From the meet and greet to watching stormi, she came prepared, asked thoughtful questions and provided updates multiple times a day with many photos and details. We would 100% use her again!! She took great care of our house and even our pool too”
“Kat sent us photos daily while we were out of the country on our anniversary trip for a week. She was communicative per our requests and left our house nice and clean! We knew the pups had the best time snuggling with her.”
“Bev was super attentive to our pups!! She was also very communicative, sending us updates and photos daily of what the dogs were up to and responding quickly when we had questions. She really took great care of our dogs and we will be using her anytime we need a dog sitter. She's part of the family now! She's the best!!”
About: I have had pet experience since I was little. I have had reptiles, dogs, cats and small rodents. I have also walked dogs for family. I have experience with both bathing cats and dogs. I am available to walk dogs on Saturday, Sunday,Monday and Tuesday at anytime. The rest of the days I work and I do a block shift so I will be unavailable. I am also able to do pet bathing and nail clipping if needed. I feel it is important to keep a safe environment for both your loving pet and me. I will make sure that every situation is handled appropriately and responsibly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Graterford
Tabor was a wonderful sitter for my rescue dog Sandy. I only had her for a week before going on vacation. He was more than willing to work with Sandy with being in a new home. He came to meet Sandy and they got along just fine. He worked on lease walking, and many commands. He kept me updated with photos and videos. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house sitter for their fur babies!
Braelin stayed with our two big pups over a long weekend and she was great with them! She sent pics and kept me updated as necessary. I could tell they were getting a lot of love and attention and thoroughly enjoying it! She took good care of our home also. Although she is new to Rover, Braelin has a lot of previous dog sitting and care experience. I would not hesitate to book her. She was very responsive since our first interaction and handles herself professionally. And most importantly, my pups loved her:)

FAQs for House Sitting - Graterford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Graterford on Rover is $55.5 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 5,533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Graterford. 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 Graterford 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 Graterford 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 Graterford 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.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
