About: I have been dogsitting since I was about 14 years old for my neighbors, and in adulthood have become the go-to dogsitter for many of my friends. While I am not at a point in my life to have a dog of my own, I absolutely love them and have experience caring for my family dog, which is why people trust me with their babies. This started as an opportunity to get some much-needed dog time, but I have turned it into a side hustle as well! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule can be very flexible including morning, day, and night time hours. I am originally from Hatboro, PA and will be moving back there from Chicago in July. I am available beginning July 14th. I will take care of your dog or cat as if they are my own. The main reason I began pet sitting is because I love them so much, but I’m not in at a point in my life to take on having one on my own. I have extensive experience with walking and in-house sitting dating back 15 years.
“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!”
“Angelica is amazing! Our two pups and lizards where taken care of very well. I highly recommend Angelica, she sent me lots of updates and pictures of babies. She also left the house clean and tidy. thank you so much for everything.”
About: I have been caring for and loving cats and dogs for over 20 years… I have experienced all sizes and breeds of both dogs and cats. I have a very caring and loving personality and it never takes long for even the shyest of animals to warm up to me. I work a full-time job from 7 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday so my weekends are usually caring for the things I love most… Animals. It has always been and always will be my favorite past time. I have pet set for all different types with very strict rules and I always take notes and follow instructions down to a science. I love to send pictures and videos to the pet parents just so that they know how cared for and loved their animal is while they’re away.
“Brian is an exceptional human being with tremendous integrity. We went away for two weeks and left him in charge of our home, our acreage, and our lively young cat. He was simply amazing in every way you wish a house sitter or a pet sitter could be. The phrase “above and beyond” came to our minds over and over while we were on our vacation. Our cat bonded with him deeply. In fact, she walked around the house crying for him in the evenings when we first returned home. She couldn’t figure out where her play buddy went. Brian was a fantastic communicator – – sharing all the ordinary goings-on‘s with the house and our cat, including cute photos and video clips. But he also really stepped up when a harder moment came. A powerful wind storm came through the area while we were away, and Brian did an outstanding job of prepping for a possible power outage— which did not end up happening. He also did a great job of communicating with us about any possible house or tree damage— which luckily also did not happen. What we appreciated most about Brian was his calm, warm, caring, and very-capable demeanor. We feel very blessed to have gotten to know him, and we plan to have him watch over our home and pets for years to come.”
“Hailey is the best! We are always reluctant having new dog sitters; however, she not only made us feel comfortable, but our dog as well! She was very responsive and we loved the pictures she sent us while we were gone. I highly recommend Hailey!”
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.
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I volunteer at animal shelters all across bucks county, having experience with all dogs from small to large. I want to help animals and humans live their best lives! I currently am a college student looking for a way to spend some time with dogs! My availability ranges per day so please reach out!! I am currently a college student home for summer looking for a way to make some extra money and work with animals!! My schedule is set a month in advance on the calendar and I am very flexible! I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs. I take my dogs to dog parks as well as long walks/hikes. I love to get exercise for myself as well as the dog all in one! I will take the dogs to the park and go for long walks to get their energy out and give them all the love they need!
“Excellent communication and was very responsive to my request for a sitter. Sent videos and photos of my dogs to keep me updated. The dogs looked to be having a blast with her. Would use her again.”
“Dawn is awesome. She took great care of our two Yorkies. One of them is quite anxious and he loved her. She is kind and patient and the dogs definitely can sense her great energy!”
“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!”

Hailey really went above and beyond! When my cat Pip got finicky about eating his wet food (which has his meds crushed in), Hailey was patient and tireless in her efforts to troubleshoot. She even went to the grocery store late at night to get a different kind of food for Pip (which worked!) just to make sure he could get his meds that evening. She was great with sending updates and pictures, and is just a very sweet and thoughtful person. Highly recommend Hailey!
Heather was great with our two cats for a week. It was the first time I hired someone to house sit vs for drop-in visits, and it was so nice knowing they had an attentive and caring sitter giving them lots of playtime and pets while we were away. The cats both loved her, and were completely at ease with her—even the shyer, anxious one. They are both social cats that like company, and can get a bit sad if left alone, but both were in high spirits when we were back! Heather was also able to take care of our plants and we came back to our house just as we left it.
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.
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.
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 5,505 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.

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.
