“This was the first time we used Rover.com. Marian was great in taking care of our brood. 2 dogs and 3 cats. She sent us daily pics and updates. If felt good having someone we could rely on. She stayed in our home. When we returned, it was like she was never there. She cleaned up and remade the bed in the guest room. I would gladly refer her to anyone. Her demeanor with the dogs was kind and respectful of their feelings. She wound up giving and getting love with lots of cuddles. The cats were a little standoffish but started to come around, but that’s the nature of cats. If you are looking for a pet sitter in the Abington area, definitely seek out Marian.”
“We didn’t get meet Dana as we needed an emergency dog sitter when I went into labor. Dana responded quickly, got there as soon as he could, and kept us updated. Thanks so much Dana!”
“Christina was great! she arrived on time and confirmed prior. I have never had hired a sitter before to take care of my dog because he is a puppy and a little complicated sometimes, I was worried that someone wouldn’t be as patient with him but Christina did very good with him. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos. When I came back home everything looked great and my dog was very happy as well!! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in a caring sitter who puts effort into taking care of your pup. Thank you!!”
“Amelia has watched our pup twice now for a few days. She always takes great care of our senior pup, communicates well, and treats our house with respect. We love getting pictures and videos of our girl playing and getting time outside! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and caring dog sitter.”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“Nikki was fantastic! She was very professional, detail-oriented, and clear, in addition to being friendly and warm. A rare combination! We felt like our dog was in excellent hands, and he did, too!”
“20/10 recommend! Ari gave us constant updates and photos which really put us at ease. He came for a meet and greet at our home before the stay and was very reassuring. Our babies so obviously loved him and our apartment was exactly how we left it. Will definitely book again!”
“Caitlin took care of our high energy, senior pitbull while we went away! She was very communicative and thorough. She patiently learned our dog's commands and habits and kept her safe while walking (she is reactive). We came home to a happy pup and well taken care of house. Will definitely book again!”
“Mochi loves her and appeared very comfortable in the photos while she was petsitting him. She was also really respectful of my apartment and left it really nice. I will definitely book her again!”
“Saint loved her as soon as he met her, which was a great sign! She was so caring, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pictures. We really appreciated how great she was with him and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Bill was great with the boys. We can tell that they were very happy from the photos he sent. He took good care of the house. We will be booking him again.”

“So glad Sareyah was able to help us out with Oliver despite the short notice! She took great care of him, was able to administer his meds successfully, and was very communicative and responsive with us throughout our time away. We’ll definitely hope to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to others in the meantime!”
“This was the first time I hired a pet sitter to stay in my home and it was a wonderful experience! I have two senior dogs and it was so nice knowing they were alone at night. One dog is blind so I like to keep her in her familiar environment. Mary was wonderful, checked in with me to let me know the dogs were doing well and left my house just as she found it. I highly recommend Mary and will definitely use her again!”

About: I had a dog when I was younger so I enjoyed walking him and grooming him. He loved getting bathed and going on long walks. I’ve learned about training for service dogs but I have not done that yet. I have my own cat so daily I am feeding her and changing her litter weekly. It’s also what I want to get more experience with. My cat is an indoor cat so we allow her to roam around the house. If I would be taking care of a dog I would let them outside and walk with them to allow them to get their exercise.

She is a 12 year old sassy cat and I’ve raised her since she was 4 weeks old. I’m free Monday- Friday. I don’t work in office anymore so have the extra time to take care of your babies!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kennedy House
Alex was great. The dogs had a few minor medical things which she communicated to me and we worked out a plan-she even cooked for them to calm Martha’s upset tummy The animals were happy and comfortable when we got home. The house was in good order. We got so many great pics too!!!! She also offered to stay later if needed (we had some traffic delays) which was nice (we didn’t need it in the end but the offer was appreciated). Thanks Alex!!!!
Kristen was wonderful! This was our second time booking her to care for our four dogs and we couldn’t have been happier. It was so evident from the photos and updates she sent that our dogs loved her and felt comfortable and safe with her. Since all four of our dogs are rescues with traumatic pasts, their comfort with her is really telling and gives us incredible peace of mind when we’re away. Kristen also kept our house extremely tidy during her stay. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our time away knowing that our dogs were happy, safe, and being so well cared for.
Erin was incredible and I’ll definitely be recommending her for other friends that are visiting NYC! She was incredibly communicative, very friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Sedona in such great hands! We got lots of photo updates, and to top it off she was able to give us recommendations on where to go out in the city! This was my first time using Rover, and Erin was very patient with me navigating the app and how the whole process works! Thank you for such a great experience ☺️
This was this was my first time using Rover. My dog unexpectedly went into heat and we had to make alternate plans for her care. Christian responded quickly and efficiently. We felt fully confident in leaving our dog with him, even though she was requiring additional care and Grooming due to her heat. I would absolute him again!
Caitlin is kind, loving, and patient with our feisty dog. She took the time to get to know his personality, which we greatly appreciate. She's very professional, communicates well and gave us helpful updates. She left our home clean, and us worry free while we were away.

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 Kennedy House 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 Kennedy House 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kennedy House 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
