“Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)”
“Faith was wonderful with our pup! She was very communicative, sent pictures, and kept Evie company whole we were out for late night plans. We will definitely book her again.”
“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!”
“Went above and beyond with our pets, Harvey and Aurora. 100% recommend. Harvey, Aurora, and our home were well taken care of. Very communicative and we received updates multiple times throughout the day. Anyone would be lucky to have Ahmirah watch their pets. Thank you so much for everything!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. My family taught me to love, respect, and care for them because they are part of the family. I believe that, just like people, dogs need fresh air, exercise, and time outdoors to stay happy and healthy. I currently live in the United States as a nanny, and one of my favorite parts of my day is taking the family’s dog for walks. I love seeing her enjoy the outdoors, explore new places, and get the exercise she needs. For the past three years, starting when I lived in Colombia, my friends have trusted me to care for their pets whenever they traveled or needed someone reliable. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, patient, and truly passionate about animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I currently work as a nanny, but I have plenty of free time during the day. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which gives me plenty of time to provide relaxed walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I want every walk to be enjoyable and enriching for your dog, not just a quick trip outside. Every dog has a unique personality, so I like to get to know them and follow their pace. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, exploring different parks, and giving them a safe and fun opportunity to enjoy the outdoors because I truly believe regular walks are important for both their physical and emotional well-being. I also love taking photos during our walks and sending updates to pet parents, so you can see how much fun your dog is having and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to come home happy, exercised, and excited for our next walk.
About: I have been taking care of neighborhood and family dogs since I was 13 years old. I have done weekly walks, overnight stays, and check-ins. I volunteered weekly in a puppy training class for four years, so I am experienced in puppy behavior, safe play, and healthy training information. My family fostered dogs on and off for about a year, and even though I am the youngest, I have always been the primary pet caretaker. As a full-time college student, I'll be fully available starting in mid-May through mid-August. I hope to have dogs be a part of my everyday, so I will be available whenever possible. In jobs I've had, I spend hours at the client's house giving quality time and care to the dog(s). I give long walks, long cuddles, and I'm sure to meet each individual dog's needs (i.e. anxious, playful, mischievous). Apart from drop-ins and stays, hypoallergenic dogs are also welcome to stay at my house where they will receive the same care plus extra love from my family. I am always 100% focused on the dog while with them and avoid distractions. Really, I just want the dogs to feel loved and the clients to feel that their dog is in good hands.
“Kathy was great with our boy Roadie. He is a rescue and has some fear. She saw this right away and won him over so quickly. She went outside with him every time he went out even though our yard is fenced in and she never left him alone. They became best buddies in no time. It was such a relief to have her at our home to take care of him. It was also nice of her to clean up!”
“Paz looked after our senior dog through a tornado warning and heat wave while we were traveling internationally. Paz went way, way above the call of duty by taking our girl to the vet when she started a hunger strike mid-way through the visit. The vet remarked that Paz was very knowledgable, attentive, and great with our girl. Paz has some sort of gift for getting animals to take medications - hopefully she'll offer a "how to" class at some point! And Paz stays in very frequent contact, sending updates and lots of photos. We are so very grateful for Paz!! She is caring, responsible, and very attentive. We cannot recommend her enough.”
“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!”
About: Hi! I'm a life long dog owner, have had and been around dogs and cats my entire life, I was a foster dog parent for several years and looking to help those in need of dog care. In the past, I've fostered puppies, dogs with anxiety and senior dogs and adopted them out to loving homes. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, shapes and woofers, any medical issues and am willing to work with any behavioral situations that other may not be willing to. I currently have 2 black labs at my home so full-time overnight house sitting is difficult but willing to work with anyone in need. I am available weekdays and weekends with notice and open to reoccurring visits. I have 2 labs at home, so full-time overnight visits are difficult. I'm very much willing to do pre-visits before your time away to "warm up" for both your pets and me Over my life, I've had all sizes of dogs, garden-diggers, fence-jumpers, and all kinds of health issues to work with. Most any needs your pets have, I'm willing to work with you to support your pet/s. I'm comfortable with both large and small dogs and completely willing to work with you if your situation has anxiety or outward aggressive behavior. Personally, I'm a supporter of no-harm training, while some cases take longer, positive reinforcement in the long run benefits everyone.
About: My dog Piper is my world and I will take care of your pet like my own :) many pictures of your pet will be included as well! I work a remote job but have plenty of time to drop in and hang out during the morning, lunch hours, the evening, and dinnertime! Able to help until 8/29 when I go back to school. My dog Piper is an escape artist so I am well trained to be aware in that aspect, I am able to adjust easily to your pets needs, comfort, and quirks ❤️
About: Hey everyone! My name is Michael and I am a nursing student in the Philadelphia area/suburb area that is just looking for flexible part time work. I have cared for several dogs of ranging from puppies to large dogs! I am new to cats but open to helping in any way I can, also in the process of adopting my own! I am very new to this app, just doing my best to stay afloat while studying for school! I finished school after 2:30 most days, so preferably after that time I’m available for any service! I am currently free weekends. I can be flexible if there needs to be an overnight stay with a dog as long as I have some notice! Of course, walks and time to play are a necessity for dogs! I can also provide baths for dogs if need be for the owners.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets since I was 10 years old. I use to dog walk for my neighbors and my grandmother and I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years when I was a teenager. For the past 3 years I’ve been washing, drying and brushing dogs at a grooming shop my girlfriends family owns and I’ve always had a passion for looking after all kinds of pets!! My availability is pretty flexible. I can also take care of your pet(s) on holidays and weekends. I’m usually very responsive and always looking forward to assisting an owner with pet care. I work 8am-3pm, 4 days a week. It works out pretty great for me because I’m always home after work and my girlfriends here when I’m not so she gets them out for walk whenever I’m not able to. I make sure the pet feels comfortable staying with me by trying to bond with them or give him/her space in the beginning to let them get comfortable in the new environment. I also don’t leave anything hazardous around to assure the pets safety because I know every dog/cat can be different so that’s a just one of the many precautions I take.
“Harold was great with Hendrix! We felt confident leaving for our trip knowing he was in great hands. We got regular updates and pictures of our guy and we would definitely book Harold again!”
“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”
“Marisol is fantastic. Had a trip out of town for a night & she sent pictures of my two dogs keeping me in the loop with communication. Have a vacation coming up in the future and I’m utilizing her services again. Highly recommend.”
“Trevor was wonderful during a not so great time for my pup. Burt was in post op recovery and Trevor was able to take great care of him, provided daily updates, took him for his stroller rides and gave him his meds so he can rest up.”
“I highly recommend Riley! She took great care of Sandy while we were away and sent updates with pictures which was really appreciated. Riley also left the house very clean.”
“She did a great job with our Bear! She was super sweet the whole time and sent us some videos while we were away. Bear was well taken care of and loved. Naomi stayed in our home which we were very comfortable doing! Would definitely recommend for future references:)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Havertown
Jean is a dream and a God-send. My husband and I haven’t ever left our pup with anyone other than friends or family- and needed to get away for a few days. From the moment we had our meet and greet with Jean, we felt comfortable that she was ‘the one’. She texted us updates and pics… and even left our house cleaner than we left it! She’s capable, responsible, listens to your special needs and is just one of the best humans we could ask for.
Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)
not my first rover experience but the first as a homeowner which added a layer of trust needed on top of care for 2 senior dogs. olivia was wonderful and attentive to all the directions we left and took great care of both boys even with all their quirks. before leaving on the last day she went above and beyond to help secure the house during a nor'easter which was much appreciated. my only "feedback" is i hope she knows there's no such thing as TOO much puppy content when sending updates to crazy dog moms
Elizabeth was great! I have two German Shepherds, and one of them is more high-maintenance and requires medication and a consistent routine. In the past, I’ve had a hard time finding sitters who truly understand the importance of sticking to their schedule and making sure everything is done correctly. Elizabeth was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands, and she kept me updated throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would happily have her care for my dogs again!
Abby was fantastic, as always! She stayed at our house for 10 days with our two pups. She took both dogs on walks daily, administered medication, and expertly cleaned our hound dog’s gross ears! She went above and beyond by cuddling with both dogs at night and making their days feel as normal as possible :) Great communication throughout the stay. She took great care of our house. Very happy to have found a great sitter.
Fantastic! It was our first time using Raquel and I wouldn’t hesitate to hiring her again. She stayed the week and gave Lucy her undivided attention. I received just the right amount of feedback each day and it was apparent with each message and picture that Lucy was very comfortable with her. It was so nice to go on vacay and know that your furry friend feels safe and happy without you. Thanks Raquel!
Kristina and her daughter were wonderful! They. Were very attentive and communicated through out their stay. I was very nervous leaving the dogs as usually they stay with family but Kristina put our worries at ease and everything went great! Would highly recommend!
Maggie was lovely. It turned out that she didn't actually stay with our dog because I had to cancel (since our dog was sick and I decided to stay home), but during the meet-and-greet I could tell that she was calm, comfortable, friendly, experienced, and responsible.
Dion was a wonderful pet sitter! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. My dog loved her immediately. She took excellent care of my pup (and bird) and I think my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. She was communicative and sent lots of pics. I would give her 100 stars if I could.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Havertown is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $87 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
