“Nico's watched our energetic boxers a couple of times before but this time he stayed at our home for 3 weeks. Dogs thought they were on vacation too as they got a lot more exercise and attention than normal life. Very thankful for his attention to the dogs and helpful with small things around the house while we were gone. Recommend him to others for single day/walks or longer term sitting.”
“Taylor was truly incredible! We felt so comfortable leaving our four pets with her, and she handled them all perfectly! Some of them were on medication and had specific feeding instructions, which she perfectly handled. Our animals loved her instantly-even our shy cat was giving her cuddles the second day! She took care of our house and went above and beyond cleaning up litter and removing snow! I can’t recommend her enough”
“Bill was great with the boys. We can tell that they were very happy from the photos he sent. He took good care of the house. We will be booking him again.”
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Juliet was great with my dogs while staying over with them, she kept us updated and sent pictures while we were away. She was also super nice and helpful, it really put us at ease while away. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter!”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“AMAZING!! I have found my person to take care and love Archie when I have to travel! Joanna was wonderful! She and Henry took such good care of my pup! Loved the videos and pics of them playing! Joanna is a kind and gentle soul and Archie felt safe and comfortable with her right away at the meet and greet. My house was left neat and clean (maybe even better than I left it for her!) Call her, you will not be disappointed!! 🌟 Thank you Joanna! 🌟”
“Angelica is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our two pups, even went on long walks with them. She also took great care of our home. We are very grateful.”
“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”
“Amy stayed with our two golden retrievers that we rescued about 9 months ago. We try to be very careful with who we leave them with as they are still adjusting to life with us. Amy did a wonderful job with them, sent me pictures and updates and kept them on their normal routine with walks and feeding. She's very conscientious and wants to follow all instructions. We will definitely use her again!”
“We absolutely loved having Ava watch our pups while we were gone for the day. She arrived on time (even with a last minute ask from us), sent lots of pictures and spoiled our pups with lots of love. 100% recommend Ava and we will use her pet sitting services again! Thanks Ava! :)”
“Daisy is such a lovely person and was so kind to my dogs. Both took to her right away. She followed feeding and medication schedule with no issues. She also sent us photos and checked in every day. My dogs love her and we are so appreciative of her taking care of them with great care. I will be using Daisy in the future and highly recommend her. Maria B”
“Nikki was immediately responsive to my last minute emergency request and I cannot express my gratitude for her enough!! She was incredibly sweet and understanding, very flexible, and took fantastic care of my animals. She was truly a savior to us in our time of need and I would gladly book her again in the future!”
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“Shannon was terrific. She loved the dogs and the dogs loved her. Our pack is a bit challenging at times and she embraced their quirks. Thank you, Shannon!!”
“Anthony took great care of our pup. He was super punctual and understanding of our schedule. He made sure she was fed, properly cared for, and happy. He sent updates. Would definitely rebook.”
“Jake is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! We have tried countless sitters and no one even comes close to Jake! We came to the happiest pups ever and the cleanest house. He is just so kind and considerate and great with our dogs. I can’t imagine ever using anyone else!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gulph Mills
Claudia was great. She stayed with our Westie over a long weekend when we were away. She has a lovely personality and was a pleasure to work with from the initial contact through a meet-and-greet and then the weekend. She was punctual, paid close attention to information about our dog's routine, asked good questions, and kept us informed. We returned to a tidy house and a happy pup. Highly recommend.
Joanna is phenomenal, as always! Joanna has kept our fur baby (Tootsie) on numerous overnights, work trips, vacations and drop-in visits for going on almost 2 years now, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for always taking such great care of our Tootsie, Joanna! :o)
Kathleen is fantastic! She is communicative and really understands our dogs quirks. She is attentive to their needs and even reminded me about our dog's medication when I forgot to leave it out! She is our go-to when we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend. Thank you, Kathleen!
We absolutely loved having Ava watch our pups while we were gone for the day. She arrived on time (even with a last minute ask from us), sent lots of pictures and spoiled our pups with lots of love. 100% recommend Ava and we will use her pet sitting services again! Thanks Ava! :)
Alexandra was absolutely the best, I had zero hesitation leaving her in charge of our dog and home! She was quick to respond to messages both before and during the stay. She sent updates and photos while we were away, and our dog was clearly happy and having fun with her. The house was probably cleaner when we got home than when we left! I would absolutely call on her again the next time we go away!
Julia took exceptional care of our senior German Shepherd while we were away on a much-needed family trip. For the first time, we could travel together without leaving someone behind to manage her care. Our old girl requires multiple medications throughout the day and has been dealing with back leg issues since last year, so boarding elsewhere simply wasn't an option. We discovered Julia offers in-home house sitting on Rover, which was perfect for us. After several days away, we returned to a happy, wagging old pup who greeted us at the door! She was clearly well-fed, given all her meds on schedule, and got gentle exercise to help keep her mobility in check. Coming home to her like that lifted such a weight off our shoulders—no more guilt about leaving her, and we got to focus on our college visits as a family. Julia's attentive, reliable care made all the difference. We're already booked with her again and highly recommend her to anyone with a senior pet who needs compassionate, in-home sitting. Thank you, Julia!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carolynn. She stayed the weekend with our girls and gave us wonderful detailed updates and the best pictures. Our dogs are a pair of opposites - one a demanding diva, the other very relaxed and easy going and handled both with care. We felt so good being away and knowing they were in such great hands. Thank you again, Carolynn!
WOW!! is all we can say. Allison quickly answered our request and worked with us to set up a meeting. The house sitting went very smoothly. Our original booking was suppose to end on Sunday however due to the snow storm our flight got canceled. She was able to accommodate the change for another day. We made it half way home before the second part of our flight was cancelled and yet again she was flexible to change the booking again. We honestly do not know what we would have done without her. She was an amazing person to work with and will be added to my list of house sitters we will look for in the future.
Wow- Luisa took the absolute BEST care of my doggies! She walked them, hung out with them in our backyard, took them for adventures and even got them special toys and treats! She was an exceptional dog sitter with great communication, plenty of pictures and so much love for our dogs! They had the best time with Luisa!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gulph Mills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gulph Mills on Rover is $31.78 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 5,646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gulph Mills. 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 Gulph Mills 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 Gulph Mills 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 Gulph Mills 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.
