“Kevin is a super nice guy. I am so glad we have him in our dogs lives and ours. I will take him anytime. He did a great job with our pups. They seem very happy.”
“Mary was wonderful work with. Responsive, clear and trustworthy. Our dogs were in great hands. She sent regular updates and think our dogs had more fun then we did. Highly recommended.”
“Frances stayed in my home and took care of my fur baby Samson while I was traveling for work overseas. She took such good care of my baby, sending me updates throughout the day with thorough details and photos. My Sammy requires some special care with medicine and food and she was certain to do everything perfectly and on his regular schedule. She really made my travel less stressful because I was never worried about Sammy. She really cared for him and loved him like he was her own. She also took great care of my home. I will definitely be using Frances again in the future and I would highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies and an in home stay.”
“This was my first time booking Leann for house sitting while we were on vacation, and I am so glad that we did. My little girl, Lilah, loved her. Lilah became Leann’s shadow, following her around, sitting next to her on the couch, and sleeping next to her at night. Leann took her out for plenty of walks and spent a lot of time throwing the ball to her in the backyard. Leann provided daily updates and pictures. She cleaned up all of Lilah’s dishes, and my house was cleaner then when I left (my dog is a shedder and her hair every where). The biggest surprise was that Leann had taken photos of Lilah and had them printed so I have so many cute photos of Lilah to put into frames. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated the care and love that she gave to Lilah while we were on vacation. It is nice to go away and know that your furbaby is being well cared for.”
“Melanie was wonderful with our dog Bluey. We didn’t want to board him so we had her stay at our house and we really like her. We will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
“Barbara is a natural! I have a hesitant, scared of a lot of things dog and he warmed up to her in no time. She was wonderful with both my doggies. I’m a worrier, but felt good leaving my dogs in her hands. She is responsible and communicative and takes good care to follow whatever regimen/schedule you ask her to. We came home to very calm and happy dogs. So happy to have found her!”
“I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.”
“Cassidy was a wonderful house sitter watching my dog Sven. Sven has anxiety and can guard but Cassidy took all that in stride and was able to form a great relationship with Sven. I really appreciated the great communication and regular updates while I was away. Would recommend and book again!”
“We’ve had Adam housesit for us a few times now and he always does a splendid job! We get pictures and updates every day. He takes time to learn the animals personalities and if he has any questions/concerns, he always asks which we appreciate! Our animals love him and he takes great care of our house too! We would absolutely have him housesit again!”
“Haylee was amazing ! Provided excellent service kept me updated the whole time and always checked in with me and sent me pictures. I will most definitely be booking again with her.”
“Teagan was great as a house sitter and for watching my cat Moo. They were respectful, communicative, understanding, and took plenty of pictures so I could relax while I was on vacation knowing Moo was safe and happy. I especially appreciated the little gift I came home to. I recommend them highly!”
“Julie really goes the extra mile to take care of our Ulani. We appreciate the peace of mind it gives us when we travel and have to leave our girl at home, where she is comfortable.”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.
“Sooz is literally THE BEST! She is so sweet to my babies and has taken wonderful care of my home. She is reliable, dependable and always provides updates/pics 🩷🩷”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid. I have several pets of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and responsibility that goes into keeping them happy and healthy. I also volunteered for years with Feline Finish Line at Petco, where I helped care for and socialize cats while they waited to find their forever homes. I’m an active, reliable, and caring person who genuinely loves animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a little extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared f I’m a current student athlete at college. I’m looking for more summer hours as it will fit into my schedule. I love to go on runs and walks everyday! I care for your pet the way you want me too. If you want me to walk or run your pet I will! I also can crate them, feed them, and play with them!
“Luke did a great job watching Duke for us when we went out of state for a wedding. Nothing unexpected happened, but he was very communicative and I"m sure we would have known immediately if something did happen. Thank you!”
About: My name is Hunter and my wife’s name is Hope, I am 25 and she is 24. We absolutely love animals. We both have several cats and dogs of our own. I’ve grown up in a family that have had lots of pets as well. I’ve been dog/ cat sitting for about 4 years now and I really enjoy doing it as a side hustle. I am able to give meditation and take your dogs for walks as requested by owners. I work a full time job during the week from 6am-2pm during the week. I have off on Thursdays and the weekends which I can be at your house anytime before or after then. I am able to do two drop in visits per day. I always make sure nothing is left out or down that pets can accidentally get ahold of. I also always supervise pets whether they are in the house or out in the yard.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mount Gretna is $50

This was our first time using Rover, and Fran really eased our minds. She came for a meet and greet prior to our vacation, and we immediately knew our 3 cats would be extremely well cared for in our absence. She texted us with questions, updates, and pics. She followed our instructions for medication, special diets, and timed-feedings. She is a super nice person, and will take care of your pets as her own. We definitely recommend her services and plan on requesting her again the next time we go away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Gretna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Gretna on Rover is $38.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,069 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Gretna. 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 Mount Gretna 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 Mount Gretna 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 Mount Gretna 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.
