Annie was great with our dog and cat. She took our dog on walks, fed them and gave them their meds, cleaned up after our cat when he got drive, and took tons of photos for us. We will be requesting her again!

Ashlyn took great care of our babies while we were on vacation! She kept me updated on everything & sent lots of pictures which we loved. It made us feel so much more at ease knowing our dogs were getting plenty of attention while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again!

Sara is truly a great sitter. She took very good care of my senior dog. I told her and he showed her all of the issues that he has and she handled them with great care which put me at ease. I'll definitely be using her again.

Emily took good care of our boy Winston. She walked him and played fetch with him, and he really had a good time. She also kept him safe and comforted him during a scary thunderstorm. Emily communicated promptly, which made scheduling much easier. She kept us updated with photos during our trip as well! I would definitely recommend Emily and would book her to sit again with Winston!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since COVID. I’ve pet sat and house sat for many other pet owners in the past. I have lot of experience with cats and dogs since I currently have four cats and two dogs. I have experience with pets with health problems as one of my cats is prone to UTIs. Im currently a stay at home girlfriend who just focuses on renovating our home with various house projects, playing and taking care of our lil zoo, and works on mysmall business. Since I do everything for myself, my partner, or our animals I have a very flexible schedule. I am clean and tidy and more than happy to adhere to any rules that pet parents might have. If walks or potty breaks are needed I’m more than happy to get out stretch my legs and can even offer playtime for dogs or cats who think they’re dogs.

About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week! Each week is the exact same shifts so it makes to easy on me and the owner! When can I visit?… (please remember I can be flexible and visit before or after shifts if communicated with!) Monday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:30pm-10:30pm Tuesday: 8:00am-10:00pm Wednesday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:00pm-10:00pm Thursday: after 4:00pm-8:00pm Friday: after 1:00pm-8:00pm Saturday: after 1:00pm-10:00pm Sunday: from 11:00am-6:00pm Please know your pets care and safety are my utmost responsibility. I understand the need for communication, specific instructions, and genuine care for your animal. I know that if I left my pet in someone else’s care, I would want the utmost respect, patience, gentle-hands, and skills to be applied. And I am more than happy to give that same experience to your baby! I love all types of animals and each personality is different and beautiful. This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you! Just communicate what you need me to do and consider it done!

About: I’ve been handling animals ever since I was 13, this includes cats, dogs, and even bunnies! (I had one that I let free roam). Cats and Bigger dogs are always a personal favorite but I truly love animals and even considered going into veterinary sciences! I can assure you, your animal is in great hands seeing as I have a cat and two dogs myself! I’m a current part-time nursing student who uses this as a sort of side job on top of my normal job that i work at full time (30hrs a week), but i still have a lot of time to care for critters of any kind! Whenever I’m at my Aunt and Uncles for up to a week dog sitting and house sitting for them, I make sure to feed both of their dogs and let them out at least every 1-2 hours especially after feeding them, and they stay outside for about 30mins-1 hour, but i don’t mind walking animals at all either! And of course I like to cuddle up with animals if they allow me too and give them play time as well as a little down time to cuddle up and be content!

I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Joinertown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Joinertown on Rover is $28.86 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 559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Joinertown. 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 Joinertown 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 Joinertown 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 Joinertown 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 Joinertown. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
