“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.”
“Olivia was a pleasure to have watch Bear for the day. He doesn’t need much, but as a new addition to the household he still needs a friend in the house to be relaxed. She was very punctual and let me know up front that she had something else scheduled for the day and would need to leave for a bit. Bear took to her right away and cried when she left.”
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter and my doggie just loves her. I feel completely comfortable while traveling knowing that my dog is well cared for. Highly recommended.”
“Jourdan is AWESOME!!! Khloe had a grand time while I was away. I could tell when she met Jourdan that she'd be in good hands. Khloe was relaxed, comfortable and more playful than she usually is, so much so that I remarked "she's showing off!". That alone let me know that Jourdan was a good choice. I felt comfortable and I knew without a doubt that my baby was in good hands. It just put my mind at ease knowing Khloe is well cared for when she's in Jourdan's care. The most important thing is that Khloe is a newly diagnosed diabetic and Jourdan was a pro administering her medication. Jourdan was caring for "whole heart on the outside" and she treated her as such.”
“Abigail was amazing with our two big dogs, especially Buddy who is extremely anxious! She was kind, professional, and showed up exactly on time. Abigail treated my house with as much care as my dogs! She really helped me out last minute after another sitter canceled- she came over that day to do a meet and greet and was watching them less than 24 hours later! I will happily hire her again!”
“Alyssa did great with Nina and Pepper! She took care of Pepper's meds and paw bandage change, and both of them were happy and relax when we returned from our trip. Thank you Alyssa!”
“Raquel is a delight. She is warm and responsible. Listens carefully to all instructions for watching your beloved pet and follows through. I recommend her without reservation!!”
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”
About: I grew up with animals all my life. I know who important a doggy is to your house hold. They are our stress Reliever they are our peace. Currently working from home. I have time during the day to help out. I like to schedule and be organize so when time comes I will make sure to organize time to walk your best friend I definitely understand when a medication has to be given to a furry friend. I definitely understand when a bathroom break is needed and when food or water is needed
About: Dogs have unique personalities and needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe and happy, and to give your pet plenty of play time. I've trained and worked with large dogs, but in the past couple years have been handling dogs under 30lbs. I've worked for the Four Seasons previously and know luxury service and how to anticipate needs. Some needs are the necessities, eat drink walk play. But some of our furry loved ones need a little more attention. I have full availability and can work around most schedules depending on client load. I look forward to meeting you are your furry loved one. I currently work for myself and my partner works from home. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule. I usually only need a days notice to accommodate pet care requests. I always respect the pets home for what their needs are and adhere to the clients requests, no matter how silly they may feel the need is. We all have that pet that needs something unique.
“Pepper took to Bill right away. He is respectful, responsive, and goes the extra mile. Even stripped the bed he slept in and started the sheets in the laundry. Thank you Bill!”
“Gave him 5 stars because the app won’t let me give him 10 ⭐️! Communicates frequently, took of my our high energy dog, and kept the house clean!!! Jeffrey was the best dog watcher we’ve had!”
“Caris thank you again! Our dog Chance was perfect and seems so happy upon our return from being with Caris. She did such an amazing job. She sent pictures and daily updates making me feel so at ease and worry free knowing my baby was in great care. We would absolutely love to use her again in the future! She is by far exactly what we were looking for and Chance seemed to absolutely adored her! 💗”
“She was very caring to our kitten and gave us lots of updates! We would love to have her come again. I felt very comfortable with her playing and taking care of our cat. She is fantastic :)”

Angela was The Best Ever for my quirky, affectionate 13 year old standard poodle. She was extremely resourceful in figuring out how to meet his "senior" needs, and taught me a few tricks to get him to eat more! And he clearly loved her. She also took the best care of our house. I will ask her to sit with him again, without a doubt.
Abigail was amazing with our two big dogs, especially Buddy who is extremely anxious! She was kind, professional, and showed up exactly on time. Abigail treated my house with as much care as my dogs! She really helped me out last minute after another sitter canceled- she came over that day to do a meet and greet and was watching them less than 24 hours later! I will happily hire her again!
Mara watched my 2 dogs over the weekend and she was amazing! She was on time, very communicative, and sent lot of cute pictures. Both dogs loved her and had a great weekend hanging out with her. She even helped one of them get over his fear of having his harness put over his head. We will definitely be using her services again!
Michael was awesome. I was able to book him in a pinch after another sitter had to cancel. He is calm, experienced, and Porter was well cared for while we were gone. He communicated with me daily 2-3x day, asked questions if they came up and dealt with a power outage that lasted about 20 hours. It rained a large part of the time we were gone and he diligently walked Porter in the rain. When we got home everything was in order. Dog towels were washed and the house was as we left it. We have used him in the past and will continue to use his services in the future for our dog. We were out of the country and knowing we had a responsible and capable dog sitter was essential.
Outstanding Care and Peace of Mind Due to health reasons, I had to find a new pet sitter very last minute after years with the same person, and I was extremely anxious—especially since our 10-year-old Labrador, Bleu, gets stressed when boarded and requires medications at very specific times for arthritis and seizures. From the Meet & Greet, I knew Dion was the right fit. She was reliable, professional, and an excellent communicator even before the booking began. Every day she sent updates and photos, which truly put my mind at ease. She followed all medication instructions perfectly and took wonderful care of Bleu. When we had to return home early due to an impending storm, Dion offered to get groceries for us and even to stay until we arrived in case our flight was delayed. She also checked in afterward and left our home spotless with fresh bedding ,folded laundry and more. Most importantly, Bleu loved her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Dion and would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
Roz was an absolute pleasure! Not only did she take care of our dogs she cared for our home as well. I appreciate all of her daily updates on how everything was going and she understood my anxiety since this was our first time using Rover. We were not sure what to expect but she exceeded all of our expectations!! I’m so glad we booked with Roz and that she accepted our booking, we will definitely be requesting Roz for all of our future needs!!
Morgan did a great job watching our puppy for a weekend! Juni can be nervous and fearful of new people, Morgan came for a meet and greet, learned about her routine and asked good questions. She was responsive when we reached out to check in, and Juni seems to have warmed up to her very quickly! We are so grateful to have found Morgan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Havertown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Havertown on Rover is $50 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 5,793 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Havertown. 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 Havertown 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 Havertown 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 Havertown 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.
