“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Brian was great! Not only did Oskar get loads of attention and play time, Brian kept me in the loop with photos and texts while I was out of the country--which made vacation much more relaxing. :) Oskar is a big boy with anxiety and OCD issues and Brian took him and his "special needs" totally in stride! I could literally tell when I got back that Oskar had played a ton and was contentedly very tired.It was also wonderful to return to a clean home! Five stars for sure!”
“This was our first time using rover and Irina made the process smooth and stress free. She gave us constant updates and spent a lot of time with our girls. Both our cat and dog were very well taken care of and definitely received a lot of love !”
About: I am a retired teacher and I am responsible and truly love dogs. I understand that dogs are part of your family, and you want to have piece of mind when you are on vacation or you are at work that your dogs will be well taken care of. I feel that way about my pet sitter. I am a teacher, and I have summers off. I would like to do pet sitting during the summer for people who go on vacation. I would take care of your pet in your home. My care would include feeding your dog, walking your dog, and spending time with your dog.
“Leaving your beloved pet, family member, to be cared for by someone new is scary. Dawn was our miracle. We were very happy with Dawn and her care for Riley. She took care of Riley as we requested, exercising her, walking her, spending time with her. We really appreciated her numerous communications with us, text messages and pictures several times daily which made us feel even more comfortable and at ease. Dawn was professional, caring and supportive! Thank you very much Dawn.”
“We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!”
About: My boyfriend Kyle and I are experienced and passionate pet sitters who care for animals as if they were our own. We regularly watch pets for neighbors, friends, and family, and have built a strong reputation for being reliable, attentive, and trustworthy. We’re comfortable caring for multiple pets and understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. While you’re away, we make it a priority to keep you connected with your pet by providing daily updates, photos, and videos, so you always know how they’re doing. Our goal is to give pet owners peace of mind and ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in our hands. Each morning, I make sure to feed your pet and take them out for a walk or some playtime. I am currently working a full-time job in Richboro, so if you’re around that area I can stop over during my lunch breaks too! I am available Monday-Friday and the weekends if needed. I always follow the owner’s specific instructions to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, take them out for walks or playtime, and clean up after them. I’ll show them love and attention at all times.
“Erica is amazing! She took such great, loving care of my lab!!!! she sent many pictures and updates and I could see how happy my dog was! I travel a lot for work so this gave a great peace of mind! i highly recommend her!!!!!”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs my entire life. Growing up, my family owned two Labrador Retrievers, a Boxer, and a Mastiff, giving me hands on experience with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided overnight care for dogs ranging from miniature Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I am passionate about animal safety, comfort, and well being, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. While I do not have formal training, I have experience caring for dogs at all life stages, including senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medications as directed and paying close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I am available during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Because I am not currently working another job, I can spend significant time with your pets and accommodate a variety of schedules. For house sitting assignments, I can typically spend several hours with your pets throughout the day and will ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care. Should my availability change in the future, I will promptly update my Rover calendar so pet owners always have accurate scheduling information. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home because I have a senior dog of my own. However, I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I am committed to following each pet owner’s instructions and routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise requirements, and any special care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Having cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including senior dogs and dogs requiring medication, I am comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly and responsibly. If an emergency were to arise, I would prioritize the pet’s safety, follow the owner’s emergency instructions, and maintain clear communication throughout the process. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives owners peace of mind.
“Jesse was such a wonderful pet sitter for us during a weekend away! He was friendly, clearly enjoyed the pets, and his communication was awesome— lots of pics and videos to tide us over!”
“Heather went above and beyond caring for our pup on our first trip without him. She sent us tons of wonderful photos and updates and even was able to continue caring for Indy after getting into a fender bender on one of the days. Indy loved her and was happy and content as could be when we got home. She even took in packages for us and filled up his kong toys. Heather made sure to spend quality time + cuddles and belly rubs and was able to spend a little extra time with him so he could have a longer break from the crate. We will definitely be reaching back out to Heather again! Thank you so much Heather!”
“Gianna was great with our dog who has separation anxiety while we were gone for multiple days and nights. She checked on her regularly throughout the day & stayed overnight. She was in constant communication with pictures and just general notes on her wellbeing. She was amazing and we definitely will be using her services next time!”

We are so lucky to have found Joelle! She takes the best care of the kitties and our home - she sends updates that feels like she can read my mind. It’s such a relief to be able to go on vacation and not worry. You can tell she loves animals and cares for them like there her own. 🥰
Rebecca and Kyle did an excellent job taking care of our dog at our house for 6 days. We arrived back to a perfectly clean house and, more importantly, a happy, relaxed dog. Good communication throughout and even watered my plants during the heat wave. We're always nervous about having people stay at our house, but would definitely have Rebecca and Kyle back, without concern.
From the “meet & greet” weeks ago to arriving home today after her first stay with our two dogs, Hailey was friendly, communicative and timely which is always appreciated. She left the house clean and the dogs happy. We look forward to having her dog-sit again!
Gianna was great with our dog who has separation anxiety while we were gone for multiple days and nights. She checked on her regularly throughout the day & stayed overnight. She was in constant communication with pictures and just general notes on her wellbeing. She was amazing and we definitely will be using her services next time!
Erica is just wonderful - I can't recommend her highly enough. We were nervous about having someone we didn't know stay in our house for a week, but our elderly Maltese was just diagnosed with a heart condition, and she needed to be watched in our home. Erica was just perfect. She is so friendly and smart, a great communicator, and truly cares about the animals. When we returned home, our pets were calm and happy, and the house looked just as it had when we left. Erica is definitely our go-to pet sitter now.
Heather is truly wonderful. She is incredibly attentive to our kiddos and very thoughtful towards us and our home. When you love your animal(s) and if they have special needs or medicines etc it can be hard sometimes to enjoy getting out into the world if you don’t have someone like her to take care of them for you. My wife and I realized on our last overnight sit that we weren’t in the slightest stressed about being away, which is a testament to the great care and communication that Heather provides as a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!!!
I can’t recommend Danyelle. From the very first meeting, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she was. She treated my dog like her own—sending regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned, which says everything. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I trust completely with my fur baby. I will absolutely be using Danyelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, loving dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ivyland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ivyland on Rover is $59.95 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 5,738 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ivyland. 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 Ivyland 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 Ivyland 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 Ivyland 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 Ivyland. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
