About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love taking care of them! I currently have 2 cats, a pug, a Cava-Tsu, and 3 Sarplaniacs (large mountain dogs). I am a full-time college student who studies online and have lots of flexibility! I’ve pet sat for both dogs and cats many times and willing to give out any references if requested, just send me a message if you’re in need of a sitter! I’m currently a full time online college student so I have a very flexible schedule, I’m available weekdays and weekends! I take same day appointments and accept one day cancellation notices. I follow any notes or instructions about your pet to a tee in order to ensure they are well taken care of. I’m willing to take them on walks several times a day, let them out for bathroom breaks every few hours, and brush them if needed. I can also take them to my house if needed!

“Hayley was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our three golden retrievers for 4 days, sending daily updates with pictures that really put my mind at ease. I always worry when we travel, but she made me feel so much better knowing our dogs were in great hands. She gave special care to our senior dog who’s turning 16 soon. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Highly recommend Hayley — we’d book her again!”
About: I was raised with dogs in the home ever since I was a little girl. I have never trained dogs that were younger than a year or two. I've taken my moms two golden retrievers for obedience trainings. Taught them how to sit, heel (which means walk with me and not in front of me), how to eat without aggression. Senior Care- My moms one golden retriever was 14 years old with hip pain. I used to help him stand up by have a towel or something that is soft and can wrap around his hips by lifting him up so he can walk outside to use the bathroom, etc. I can do early mornings before I have to be at work at 8am, and I am available anytime after 5pm. I work full time at Smucker Gardens from 8am-5pm. My job is flexible to an extent. I can also take a lunch break if you are in the area of Millersburg and take them on a walk or whatever you would like. My husband works from home, he is also a dog/cat loving person and would love to help (if your comfortable enough) if you are in the area of Herndon/Sunbury/Selinsgrove. Dogs- I would make sure that they are let out to use the bathroom, clean up the poop if inside and/or outside, play, feed, brush, bathe if needed, vet appt, etc. Cats- Clean up the litter, vacuum the area if needed (my cat for sure likes to make a mess), feed, play, brush, vet appt, etc. I unfortunately will not allow other pets in my home due to my husband only wanting our pets in our home.
“We’re so grateful we found Kalea. She stayed in our home and took amazing care of our two Labs while we were away over the 4th of July. She stuck to their routine, which really helped keep them calm and happy, especially during a stressful time. It was obvious they got tons of love and attention while we were gone. We came home to two very content pups! We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”
About: With 3 years of pet sitting experience and two cats of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs with no rush. I love playing with cats to allow them the exercise they need and going on long walks with pups! I have a nice fenced back yard where your animals are able to roam at their own leisure. At the moment though I am not offering services at my residence.
About: I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own and aim to provide a stress-free, loving experience for both pets and their owners. I'm currently working full time but have the availability to check in on your pet(s) in the morning and then in the evening when I get off work. I do not work weekends so I can even spend a little longer with your pets doing whatever needs to be done. I have nothing but respect for your home and your pets, therefore your pets will be taken care of and your home will be as you left it.
“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
About: I cat sit for my neighbor for long periods of time when she goes away. I’ve been an animal owner since the age of 3. Currently I’m in school for nursing but don’t have classes Monday and Wednesday as well as the weekend. Those days I’m hoping to spend time with pets. Caring for pets in my home I will have them on a leash if outside just in case they like to run away. At a clients home I’ll follow the directions to ensure perfect pet care.
About: Experience volunteering at local cat cafe and caring for friends/family’s pets. Just like dogs, I also look forward to taking my own daily walks! :) I’m the proud mom of 2 cats and I specialize in caring for pets with anxiety. My main job is as a dance teacher, so I only work after school/work ends for our students. This leaves my mornings and mid-days free for walks and furry friends! I am always respectful of clients’ property (and pets of course)! My house currently does not accept pets but I love spending time outside and stopping by to provide needed care.
About: Hello! I have always loved animals, and strive to treat all animals as if they were my own. I have grown up around cats and dogs, and currently have a cat, brand new puppy, a guinea pig, gerbils, and fish of my own. I currently work 50-60 hours a week, but most evenings, and weekends are available. I am willing to do drop-ins during my lunch or other breaks throughout my day. I would treat your animals as if they were my own. They will never be left outside unsupervised, and I will strive to keep them healthy and happy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hummels Wharf
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hummels Wharf on Rover is $34.37 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hummels Wharf. 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 Hummels Wharf 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 Hummels Wharf 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 Hummels Wharf 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.
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.
