“Elizabeth did a great job with Mack and Aries, while I was out of town. She took them for multiple walks per day and respected my home. We already have a other stay booked with Elizabeth!”
“Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!”
“Tara was a huge help with my anxious dog. Spent the night with my pup andwas attentive to any special instructions I left for my pup. Definitely will be booking with Tara in the future. Thanks fursitter”
“We cannot say enough great things about Andrew! His amazing care for our furry kids and home was top notch!!! Our furry kids were so relaxed when we got home! He sent numerous photos throughout his entire stay and is a true animal lover. Wish we could give 100 stars!”
“This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.”

My approach is patient, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine.

Caring for Pets in My Home When pets stay in my home, I create a calm, comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I maintain their regular feeding, walking, and play routines so they stay relaxed and happy. Pets get plenty of attention, safe indoor/outdoor time (as allowed), and a clean space to rest. I focus on making their stay stress-free with consistent structure, affection, and supervision. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting / Drop-Ins) When I care for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping them in the routine they know best. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and any household rules you have in place.

I give lots of one-on-one attention, provide updates, and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar surroundings.

I adapt to each pet’s personality—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra support—to give them the best experience possible.

“Cristel was absolutely amazing to have house sit and care for our cats - she left our house in better condition than we left it! Can’t thank her enough for being an incredible sitter and taking such great care of our cats and our home.”
“I felt extremely safe leaving my anxious pup with Thalia! I was updated during the day and was very reassured when I expressed concern about Morti’s behaviors. Definitely going to book with Thalia again!”
About: I'm a caring individual who genuinely loves dogs. I have owned dogs for over 10 years of my life with breeds ranging from golden retrievers, to border collies, to a Maltese mix. I have done clicker-training and was told that I was a natural by the trainer I worked with. I find the work of understanding animal behavior to be incredibly interesting and rewarding. I am an honest and kind person with the desire to write books and attend grad school in order to become a professor. I put a lot of time and care into my work and I think that this type of job is perfect for me! I'm a compassionate, scholarly, book loving - introvert type person. I am also very active: running, hiking, and working out are some of my necessary activities.
“This was our first time booking Shelby and she was awesome. Pepper had a great weekend and the house was immaculate. She even left a beautiful drawing of Pepper in our guestbook! Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have always had a love for caring for them. I currently have a fun, energetic 2-year-old Goldendoodle and a 7-year-old cat, so I'm experienced with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Growing up with multiple dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As a registered nurse, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions, administering medications if needed, and recognizing when something doesn't seem right. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll treat them like they're one of my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I currently work part-time, giving me flexible availability throughout the week. I'm able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits whenever possible. I currently provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistent, personalized care. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to detail, prioritize safety, and communicate clearly. I'll treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for until you return home.
About: I've grown up around pets my whole life. My family has always had dogs and cats and even a bunny! Growing up I had a neighbor who owned a farm so I also was around horses and chickens. I'm always my family's dog sitter whenever they go away somewhere and ai love doing it! I would love to take care of yours too :) I am a college student at the University of Pittsburgh! My classes are in the morning mostly. Most days I am out of classes by 2:15. Fridays I am done by 11. Mondays are my busiest and latest days! I live in a college on campus suite so I unfortunately cannot take dogs in unless they are service dogs( I would have to look deeper into that)
“Sarah was excellent taking care of our dogs Rex and Bronty. She stayed in our home and when we returned the house was spotless, which we truly appreciated. We experienced an extreme winter storm during our trip that caused multiple flight cancellations, and Sarah was more than accommodating with our extended return and a true all-star in a heavy snowfall. That flexibility and understanding made a stressful situation so much easier. Leaving our 15 year old senior dog is always scary, but Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Rex and making sure his needs were met all while keeping our higher energy dog Bronty calm and comfortable. Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she was never hesitant to reach out with questions or updates. We felt confident and at ease knowing our dogs and home were in such great hands. We would recommend Sarah for dog sitting wholeheartedly to anyone. We will definitely be using her services in the future and are so happy to have found her. Thank you Sarah!”
“Aaren was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took good care of him and sent us pics and videos of him snuggling with her. Aaren has a unique understanding of dogs and we highly recommend her for sitting.”
“5 STARS!!!!! We absolutely love booking with Arianna, and our two dogs love her even more. We have so much peace of mind leaving them at home with her; we know they are in safe and incredibly capable hands. We were out of town for under two weeks, and knowing we had someone at home taking care of and loving our babies just like we would made our trip even better! We highly recommend booking Arianna to watch your fur babies, and we can't wait to book her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Pocono
Lexie stayed in my home for four nights and did a wonderful job caring for my dog. She was attentive to all of his little quirks and made sure he felt comfortable and secure. One night he was upset by an animal outside, and Lexie even got up in the middle of the night to comfort him, a level of care that really shows her dedication. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Lexie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Pocono
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Pocono on Rover is $37.45 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 609 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Pocono. 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 Pocono 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 Pocono 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 Pocono 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.
