“We had a great experience with our dog sitter! Frankie communicated with us consistently every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also did an excellent job walking all three of our dogs, a task we know from experience is no easy feat! When we returned home, we found three very calm and happy dogs. We appreciated her care and attention to our dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and wonderful pet sitter.”
“Rocio has been so amazing! Rocio was absolutely incredible with my dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Rocio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with medical needs. I provide patient, attentive, and loving care while making sure each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personalities are respected. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Currently doing remote college so I’m available for dog & cat house sitting during the days and nights Friday-Monday. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits any day of the week! I would love to hangout with and take care of your babies! 🥰 My priority is maintaining your pet's normal routine in the comfort of their own environment while ensuring your home remains secure and respected. I follow your exact feeding, medication, and bedtime schedules to keep your babies anxiety at zero while you are away. I treat your space with the utmost respect. I will keep your home clean, bring in the mail, water plants, and ensure all doors and windows stay securely locked. I also ensure visits and walks are never rushed. I focus on high-quality engagement, whether that means an energetic neighborhood walk with plenty of sniffing and belly rubs.
“Mya did a great job dog sitting for me in my house. She was punctual and communicated very well when I reached out to her. She followed all instructions and made me feel comfortable with leaving our 15 year old Aussie in her care. I would highly recommend Mya!”
“Nikima did an amazing job while I was gone for 5 days. She sent a lot of pictures and activie reports through her stay with my pup. Bae loves her for sure. She was great about walking and feeding and giving him his meds. She even went above and beyond and swept the house and made sure everything was neat for my return. Looking forward to booking again for my next trip.”
“Peytyn always takes good care of our boy. She sends pictures and updates which always sets our minds at ease. We come back to a clean house and a happy dog! We will definitely use her services again!”
“Sydney was very flexible with our last minute need for a house sitter. She left the house better than when she arrived, was always available for communication, and treated our home and pets as if they were her own. We will absolutely use her again for future needs!”
“Michelle was absolutely excellent with our two dogs while we were gone. She was very patient with our special needs dog and took great care ensuring they were comfortable. She sent pictures and updates each day.”
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! My family dog was with us for 16 years, so I really understand how much pets are part of your family! Growing up, I also have owned many fish, hamsters, and hermit crabs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker, working with dogs of different sizes and temperaments.In addition, I volunteered at a children’s farmstead where I helped care for other animals including goats, and I learned how to adapt in different situations. I genuinely love being around animals! I am good with both energetic dogs who need a good walk and more gentle or older dogs who just want consistency and companionship. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I’m currently a PA student, so pet care fits really well into my routine as a way to get my cuddle fix and/or get outside, stay active, and take a break from studying. I love going on walks (especially with a podcast), so your dog will get exercise and a happy walking partner. For those who need drop-in care, I can't wait to see their smiling face, and will try to help out however I can! I’m typically available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays after the work day (currently in clinical rotations). I also have more flexibility on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to understand your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs before starting. In your home, I’m respectful, dependable, and focused on making your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. And you can expect lots of updates and cute photos along the way
“Nakia did an amazing job taking care of my roommate and I’s fur babies! We have well behaved pets but it can be tricky keeping them separate while they’re still acclimating to one another. Nakia took all of our rules and quirks in stride and did an outstanding job. We will definitely continue booking with her as frequent travelers and would highly recommend her for pet/house sitting!”
“Rachel took great care of our two high-energy dogs and left our house looking the same as we left it. She checked in daily, sent pics, and made sure she understood our dogs’ needs. Definitely would recommend and will book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Just reach out whenever you need a helping hand. I am a reliable and trustworthy person and would be more than happy to make sure your pet is well taken care of at home.
“Meghan interacted with Fendi beautifully. There was a scheduling conflict due to Meghan's other appointment obligations, causing Meghan to arrive several hours later than expected. A call would have been appreciated; however, she did not want to leave the other dogs unattended as well. After we spoke, Megan came as quickly as she could and took excellent care of Fendi. She sent lots of videos and pictures and gave Fendi lots of love. She was extremely apologetic and even refunded some of the additional cost. Fendi interacted well with Megan and when I returned back home it was evident Fendi was establishing a bond. The house was well taken care of and Meghan adhered to all the specific directions given that Fendi is a service animal. She played with her and gave Fendi the special attention needed to allow us to enjoy our trip with less worry. Meghan is mature and took on this assignment at the last minute, reducing my stress of being worried. This is the first time I have ever left Fendi with (3) different individuals with rotating times since I was going to be away for nearly a week. Meghan came through for us and I appreciate her willingness to make this transition of being away more accommodating. Her interaction with Fendi is why I will certainly call upon her again. She showed love and kindness to Fendi and that is priceless.”
“Kim is a wonderful sitter, and we were very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Our dogs each have their own behavioral quirks, and she wasn’t fazed as at. She communicated really well while we were out of town and our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Thanks Kim!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, so I understand that each dog has different needs and personalities. I’ve also helped care for dogs that were traumatized or injured, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their comfort and boundaries. I have dogs of my own that I keep on a consistent schedule and train regularly. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing training, providing exercise and playtime, and giving dogs the attention and care they need. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and respect and want them to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care. I am currently a collage student with few classes so I'm very available for your sweet pups! Im available full time Thursday- Sunday and no more than 2 hour gaps during the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and potty schedules and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I also take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, especially if they’re nervous or need extra patience. I keep their space clean and make sure they have fresh water, food, and a safe environment. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Horneytown
Frankie was truly wonderful with our sweet Kenji! ❤️🐾 We couldn’t be happier with the care and love she gave him while we were away. She kept us updated and made us feel so comfortable knowing our precious boy was in such good hands. As pet parents, having someone we can trust with a member of our family means the world to us! We also want to thank Frankie for being so respectful and thoughtful of our home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that both Kenji and our home were being cared for with kindness and consideration. That level of trust is something we truly appreciate. Thank you, Frankie, from the bottom of our hearts, for taking such good care of our boy and for being so wonderful throughout the entire experience. ❤️ We are so grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with both our sweet Kenji and our home. We would absolutely love to have you care for him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy. You were such a blessing to us! 🥰💕
Elizabeth was AMAZING!! She spoiled our girl in the best way possible. She sent picture updates throughout the day and kept us appraised of our girls wellbeing. We will be utilizing Elizabeth in the future for care for our girl while we are away and unable to take her with us.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Horneytown is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 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.
As of October 2026, there are 911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Horneytown. 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 Horneytown 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 Horneytown 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 Horneytown 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.
