“Jaden quickly won over both our doggos and cats. He even managed to get our super duper scaredy cat to like him! He diligently provided the additional care we requested like watering plants, taking them for walks, and playing with their favorite toys. We also came home to a well kept home. We will be using him again and highly recommend.”
“Mackenzie was an awesome in-house sitter! She was great with communication on her availability and made sure that it would work with our dog’s needs. She gave us updates during the stay to let us know how things were going and everything went smoothly! I will 100% be booking with her in the future, she was so sweet, easy to work with and loved how snuggly our baby girl is!”
“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”
“I must absolutely RAVE about Madison because she took such amazing care of our pets with incredible, consistent communication! Extra special shout-out because our dog, unfortunately, got sick while under Madison's care, and Madison kept me informed of our dog's behavior, current status, and cleaned up all of the messes so thoroughly! We love her and I HIGHLY recommend her!!!❤️”
“Yianna was extremely professional and wonderful to my dog. She was very loving to my pup, who requires multiple medications. She was great with check- ins and very responsive to questions. She was respectful of our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would use her in the future.”
About: I have raised many dogs over my lifetime. My most recent dog to have passed was a pit bull and I love all breeds of dogs big and small. I am very experienced in providing consistent behavior support to dogs and am open to learning your styles and preferences so that your time away is beneficial for you and your fur child. I recently had a baby and just reactivated my profile here. I will need to bring the baby with me however she isn’t mobile yet and will likely not have much interaction with your pet. If this isn’t a good fit for you or your fur babies, I completely understand! Most days I will be free to spend time with your pet all day, take them on long walks, and keep them entertained, I just have a little one with me to do so. I am open to providing whatever service your dog is already comfortable with. I am happy to take multiple leashed walks every day to help your dog exercise.
About: People have always told me that I am comparable caring even to pets. They deserve every bit of kindness just like people! A safe and reliable environment at your home! I am able to walk and feed the animals before I go to work and after I come home. As well as having off on Monday& Tuesdays. I can walk and feed your pets in the morning, throughout the day when I’m off I can show them the attention and love they need. I will make sure they always have fresh food&water. As well as making them feel at home when They are away!
“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our persnickety little pittie while we were out of town. She was especially mindful of the heat and our dog’s history of heat-related issues. We came home to a happy dog and an orderly house and we are so appreciative of the communication, care and photos we got from her along the way!”
“We Met Brianna on July 19th to Pet sit Buddy for the 1st time, Buddy took to Her Immediately and just loved Her and whatever Fears We had of Leaving Him for the 1st time were completely erased, She is totally on Her game, loves dog’s and is very professional. Her communication skills are on point and was in constant contact with us before and after Our booking, We are def gonna have Brianna pet sit for us on an ongoing and as needed basis moving forward”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’m comfortable and confident handling a wide range of needs. I regularly bathe, feed, and walk not only my own dogs but also those of friends and family. I also have hands-on experience with post-surgery care, so I’m attentive and gentle when it comes to administering medications or helping a dog recover comfortably. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re away. As a teacher, my schedule is very pet-friendly. I’m off during the summer, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. During the school year, I finish work by mid-afternoon, allowing me to be available for afternoon walks, evening visits, or overnight care. My routine is consistent and reliable, which means your pet will always get the attention and care they need—whether it’s playtime, feeding, or a relaxing walk. In your home, I make sure to respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family, with plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at ease. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
About: I bring 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, from looking after the dogs, cats, and all sort of creatures of family and friends, to spending 5 years working in a busy dog daycare. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable with structured routines, group play, and individualized attention. I now work full‑time for the state, but pet care remains one of my favorite parts of life — and I’d love to help care for your fur babies. I’m currently working full‑time, but my availability will be opening up soon — I’ll have a fully flexible schedule any day of the week in the near future. As for right now, I am currently only available for in-house sitting on the weekends. I am available for weekday check-ins/walks anytime after 3 pm, and anytime during the weekends. I only provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets feel safest and most relaxed. I stick closely to your feeding, potty, and routine schedules, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions or quirks your pet may have. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm and create a calm, secure environment while you’re gone.
“Evan was wonderful with Mabel! He took such great care of her in our home, and his communication throughout gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy, calm, and clearly well-loved Great Dane. ❤️ It was obvious Mabel enjoyed having him here! We would absolutely have Evan watch her again and highly recommend him!”
“Ian has been a wonderful Petsitter and our family is so glad that he takes care of our dog, Maybelline, when we are away from home. He is very communicative, professional, responsible and respectful - a good human being. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian.”
“Hanna was a perfect match for my kitty Princess while I was away from home. I could tell she was making a special attempt to connect with Princess by the multiple update pictures showing her doing her favorite things and giving in to her peculiar whims. I recommend her 100% for anyone looking for the extra TLC in looking after their fur kids while they're away.”
“Olivia took great care of our girls! Both of our dogs were really comfortable with her right when they first met her. She sent pictures and updates each day which i appreciated. I would book with her again next time we’re out of town!”
About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house! I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. So helping people care for pets on Wag seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
About: I’ve been walking my friend’s’ dogs over the years and I absolutely love it. I’d be more than happy to check in your pe, take them for a walk and make sure that they don’t feel alone while you have to be out. I work from home two weeks of the month currently and will be expecting to be fully home by February. During those weeks, I can come anytime of day but the other two weeks, I’ll be available Thursday-Sunday. I’ll confirm that your pet is healthy and ensure that they’re comfortable with my presence / actions. I’ll also follow all instructions provided to me and share updates after each visit.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Linglestown
Jaden was great with our 2 dogs while we were away on a cruise. Our one dog is very shy and skittish and he was very patient with her. He sent us updates all along even though we didn't always see them due to cell service. We came home and I wouldn't even known he was here as the house looked just as we left it. I would definitely use Jaden in the future.
Mackenzie was an awesome in-house sitter! She was great with communication on her availability and made sure that it would work with our dog’s needs. She gave us updates during the stay to let us know how things were going and everything went smoothly! I will 100% be booking with her in the future, she was so sweet, easy to work with and loved how snuggly our baby girl is!
Erin was wonderful. She did an advance “interview “ with Max prior to the sitting. She sent us many pictures on multiple days which we loved. She comforted our max during thunderstorms and the like. She brings her baby with her. Even though we don’t have kids max took to watching after both Erin and her baby. Although we did not make our final arrival time, we worked the key exchange and the house was better than we left it with dishwasher items put away. We had daily updates most days and Erin was always responsive. We would definitely recommend her.
Yianna was extremely professional and wonderful to my dog. She was very loving to my pup, who requires multiple medications. She was great with check- ins and very responsive to questions. She was respectful of our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would use her in the future.
Keira did an awesome job keeping my cat Princess company and attending to her needs while I was away on my trip. She sent frequent updates with pics depicting Princess engaged in her favorite activities including drinking water from the faucet (she prefers over the bowl), so I know Keira went out of her way to make that connection with Princess. She has a gentle, loving nature with animals and I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Alyssa was great. She took care of our old boy Beef helping him onto and off the bed so he could sleep happily. And our Frannie who just needs a human to be there for overnights when we go away. Alyssa sent me pics and updates how things were going. Would definitely recommend Alyssa!
Mary did a great job with our two dogs and our cat! She provided frequent updates and also pictures of our animals while we were away! I’m glad we booked Mary to stay with them while we were away and not have them boarded. They were very happy when we got back home and we could tell that they had a great time. We would absolutely book Mary to stay with our pets again and will reach out for future vacations. Thank you so much for taking great care of them!
We are very pleased with Missy. She did an overnight stay for a week with our two golden’s. She was great with our dogs and our home was neat and clean when we returned. We are hoping she’s available for our vacation next summer. Will definitely use her services again! Thanks Missy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Linglestown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Linglestown on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 769 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Linglestown. 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 Linglestown 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 Linglestown 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 Linglestown 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 Linglestown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
