“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.”
About: Hi, we’re Eric and Cassie! We’re passionate animal lovers and proud pet parents to a loving, goofy Golden Retriever. We understand that pets are family, and we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. We would love the opportunity to provide your furry friends with the attention, affection, and care they deserve while giving you peace of mind. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your pet's routine, we’ll treat them as if they were our own. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Eric is currently only taking grad classes over the summer so his schedule is very flexible. We are both very active individuals so we love going for multiple walks daily. During the fall, Eric works 7 am-3 pm and Cassie works 9 am-5 pm. We are able to handle dogs big and small on a leash. Eric is a Special Education teacher and is familiar with positive reinforcement and use it when walking dogs. Cassie has grown up taking care of her neighbors animals while they were on vacation and loves to spend time playing with them, sitting with them and getting their energy out.
“Beverly was awesome. This was the first time we were away from our 150lb mastiff puppy and we were worried about him. Bev made us very comfortable during the meet and greet and communicated with us up until the the sit started to ensure she had all the details and care instructions. On the day of the sit she showed up right on time and settled in before we had to leave, so the puppies would get used to her being in the house. During the next few days she took wonderful care of our furbabies. She played with them and cuddled with them when they were moping and was persistent about trying to get them to eat. Pretty soon they were following her around everywhere. She sent us a lot of pictures of them and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. We would love for her to care for our babies again in the future.”
“This was the first time Kat watched our 3 guys, she was wonderful. I would receive a few pictures every day so I could see how well my dogs were doing. She was at our place during Hurricane Ida and while we did not lose power we did lose water. She had to deal with all of this until my husband left our vacation early to deal with the fallout of the storm. Through all of that everyone at the house were safe and healthy. The next time I need someone to watch the guys I will be contacting Kat.”
“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!!”
“Alex is the best! We truly appreciated the photos and updates and felt very secure with Alex’s confident and caring approach. Our home was left in pristine condition and our dogs were content and relaxed! Highly recommend Alex, especially if you have dogs who can be a little slow to warm up to new people.”
“Gabrielle was amazing with all 4 of our fur babies while we were away in vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so communication was great. Not too much and not too little. She was even able to get some love from our highly antisocial kitty. I will definitely be reaching out again when we need her again!! Thank you Again Gabby!”
About: I’ve owned a dog of my own since I was about 8 years old. Other then that for a couple years now I have been helping out family friends by walking/ feeding their pets when they are away. I decided to take part in this as a part time summer job! I am very flexible and should have loads of time to walk/ play with your pups. You can fully rely on me to make sure the pups are secured when I leave.. whether this is crating your pet or making sure the gates are locked I’ll make it happen!
“Stefanie was a pleasure to have watch our pup! She was responsive when reached out to, followed our instructions left, and sent daily photos of him. It was great to know that she was taking such good care of him while we were gone. Additionally, she left our house nice and clean! Would love to use Stefanie again.”
“Caitlin was fantastic! Our pets absolutely loved her, she shared plenty of photos and updates during the short stayl Couldn't ask for more and we'll definitely be using her again.”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of over 5+ dogs, 5+ cats, fish, hamsters, etc for basically my entire life so far. I love all types of animals. I have experience with dogs from a few months old to 15-17, I also have experiences with cats from a few weeks old to 15-17. I’d love to help any person/family who needs a hand sometimes! (i also have experience with geckos/lizards if that helps!) I’m currently working part time and this fall I will be taking classes part time online, so I have plenty of time for taking care of your pets. I would prefer going to others homes due to the fact I already have 3 cats, 2 dogs, gecko, fish, etc at my own home. I plan to take care of the owners pet and house with upmost respect.
“Kaitlyn pet/house sat for us recently, and we are so grateful for her help. She kept us regularly informed of our babies and was comfortable asking questions. It was wonderful knowing we had someone we could trust taking care of our critters!”
“My dogs absolutely love Kristy! They were so calm and happy when I got home. It’s so much easier when they can stay in their own space when I am gone and Kristy gave me that peace of mind. The house and dogs were well looked after! Would highly recommend.”
“Sheryl and her husband were truly OUTSTANDING! They came through for me when I found myself with an 11th hour need, and took excellent care of my 15week puppy over the weekend. They gave her lots of playtime and affection. You can trust Sheryl to take excellent care of your dog.”
About: I absolutely adore animals of all kinds, and am a loving care provider. I have been commended by past clients and requested for repeat business often. I am dedicated, professional, and enthusiastic. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted and relied on me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets, as well as house sit. Empathetic and patient, I take time to gain your pet’s trust. I have experience working with pets with behavior issues and medical needs, and also with dispensing/ administering medications at the clients direction when needed. In house sitting scenarios I do chores, collect mail and packages, and maintain communication with clients to ensure clients and pets expectations and needs are met at all times. I am currently available from 9 am- 2 pm, as well as after 4 pm during the week, with open availability on weekends. Arrangements can be made to house sit during the week if needed. I provide food and water to pets according to clients schedule. I ensure pets get exercise and playtime, my favorite way to get to know your pet! Long walks, park adventures, and dog park visits as requested or permitted by client. I will take pets for vet visits if client requests. Most importantly I provide love, playtime, and quality time with your fur baby!
“Allie was awesome! She asked all the right questions from someone watching your puppies and staying at your home. She did a great job and sent plenty of pics to show my puppies were happy and taken care of. I would highly recommend her”
About: I have dog sat and dog walked all different breeds since I was young kid, starting with family and neighbors. I then went on to work at a Doggy Daycare for one year, where I really understood how to care for, command, and protect all different types of dogs. I am the biggest animal lover specifically with dogs and I want to be someone to give your dog love, exercise, and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and can be available both during typical work hours if you have a 9-5 or night shifts if you work overnights and anything in between! I am fully dog safety trained and can provide the dogs with whatever care their owners would like whether that is during walks or check ins, or overnight stays!

FAQs for House Sitting - Harleysville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harleysville on Rover is $85.6 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 5,296 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harleysville. 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 Harleysville 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 Harleysville 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 Harleysville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harleysville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
