“Ryan was great with my energetic corgi puppy who also loved him. He was always on time, willing to work with your schedule and very professional. We felt very comfortable and at ease with him sitting our puppy. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for everything!”
“Nico was great with our dogs, Sammy and Hazel! He stayed at our house and sent daily updates. The dogs seemed happy when we returned home! He was also very responsive leading up to the trip. It’s great to be able to leave for a long weekend and not worry. I would recommend Nico!”
“Sarah’s great! She followed instructions and also anticipated our needs. She provided timely updates and gave us all the peace of mind we needed while we were away from our dog. We will definitely be using her again and anyone who hires her is lucky to have them looking after their pets.”
“This is our second time using Nikki for our anxious dog and she was great! Our dog seemed to warm up to her immediately, she sent regular updates, and left our house spotless. It can be really nerve-wracking having a stranger watch your pet/stay in your house but we have no concerns about Nikki at all. She is definitely our new go to dog sitter, highly recommend!”
“Gave him 5 stars because the app won’t let me give him 10 ⭐️! Communicates frequently, took of my our high energy dog, and kept the house clean!!! Jeffrey was the best dog watcher we’ve had!”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing! She provided updates and pictures regularly. She took great care of our furry family member and we will absolutely book her again. Thank you Shannon!”
“Stephanie was such an amazing sitter. She was extremely communicative and easy to get ahold of at all times. Penny looked like she had a blast during her stay, and Stephanie went above and beyond helping around the house while I was gone. We will absolutely use her again!!”
“Faith was amazing watching our senior dog! She gave great updates and sent lots of cute pictures! We were gone for a week and came home to a well kept house and a happy dog. We would love to have Faith watch our dog again anytime!”
“Angelica was fantastic with our rescue girl Penny. She sent photos and updates and we felt at ease knowing that our girl was in good hands while we were away. We will book again!”
“Super chill guy, William was easy for my nervous girl to adapt to. He’s great with her and goes the extra mile with little things that matter. Thank you, Bill.”
“Alexis was amazing! She was kind and courteous and kept us updated on her day with Marlow! I loved the picture updates and the inquiries into some of our pups little quirks. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family, and it could not have gone better. She not only treated Marlow well, but also our home. We will 10000% book 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! 🐾❤️”
“Anthony is a wonderful sitter. He arrived precisely on time and listened carefully to our instructions regarding. our special needs dog, Norma. Anthony texted photos and reassured us that Norma had taken her medication. When we got home, we were pleasantly surprised to find her relaxed and comfortable, something she doesn't always exhibit even with us. We're glad we found Anthony and look forward to having him care for Norma in the future.”
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”
“Maya took great care of our home and dogs while we were away! She was communicative, responsible and patient with our 11 month old lab. Both of our dogs enjoyed their time with Maya.”

Ricky is the best! She stayed with our pets for 11 days. One of our dogs, Sammi, is a challenge because of her anxiety. We knew she would need more patience than usual. Ricky understood the assignment and took great care with her. And, in fact, treated all of our pets with steadiness and affection. Her communication was proactive and thorough, with just the right amount of updates. We came home to a very happy pets and a tidy house that was obviously treated with respect. Don't hesitate to work with Ricky if given the opportunity!
Sarah’s great! She followed instructions and also anticipated our needs. She provided timely updates and gave us all the peace of mind we needed while we were away from our dog. We will definitely be using her again and anyone who hires her is lucky to have them looking after their pets.
We were so very happy with Natalie! She clearly provided our dogs with exceptional care based on all the pics and updates I got, and she even got our nervous dog to eat all her meals, which she frequently wont do when we leave her with dog sitters. We had a busy vacation planned and I was so pleased that I didnt have to worry at all about our pups the entire time!
Anna was a pleasure to work with! Super straight forward and easy to set up visits! She listened to all tips and tricks with our very lovely puppy who is QUITE the handful! Having someone who can take care of a playful, strong, and high energy dog while still showing them love and care is a special kind of pet caregiver! Thank you!
We absolutely loved having Ava watch our pups while we were gone for the day. She arrived on time (even with a last minute ask from us), sent lots of pictures and spoiled our pups with lots of love. 100% recommend Ava and we will use her pet sitting services again! Thanks Ava! :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Lafayette Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 5,646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lafayette Hill. 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 Lafayette Hill 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 Lafayette Hill 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 Lafayette Hill 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.
