“Nico was amazing with our pups!! He took them for walks, played in the yard even bought them toys! he sent messages and pictures throughout his stay. my house was left in perfect condition; you couldn't tell anyone had been here! Nico was the best!!!”
“Lisa was amazing with my 16 year old standard poodle! She was able to come out to the RV hang out for 5 hours. Lisa assisted Roxie in/out of the RV. She was very kind to Roxie! Lisa sent photos about every hour or so which was awesome! This was the first time using Rover and will definitely be using again. Thank you Lisa!”
“Angelica is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our two pups, even went on long walks with them. She also took great care of our home. We are very grateful.”
“As a professional dog trainer, I often get asked by my clients if I could recommend a pet sitter. I have been hesitant to recommend a service for various reasons, until now. We recently went on a week's vacation and were looking for a pet sitter to stay with our active dog, Rocky. Not only did we need someone to stay at the house overnight with Rocky, I wanted someone who would also provide him with daily physical and mental exercise. We were so fortunate to have found Tim. From the first meet and greet visit with Rocky, I had a very good sense that Tim would be a good fit for Rocky. Tim did everything I requested, including daily walks/hikes - sometimes more than once a day, interacted with Rocky in play sessions, and made sure he received daily enrichment activities. In addition, Tim is a great communicator and sent me brief updates and photos of Rocky daily. And if all that isn't enough, Tim literally left our home cleaner than when we left. When clients ask me about pet sitters, Tim H will be at the top of the list!”
“Joanna took great care of my dogs and my home. Good and thorough communication before and throughout including pictures and videos of how my pups were doing. I would definitely book again.”
“AMAZING!!! Ariana is the best! Daily photos (multiples even!) and daily updates help this bulldog mama know that her baby is 1000% taken care of while I'm away. So thankful to have found Ariana and to have used her multiple times to pet sit for me!!”
“I can't recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to our fur babies and honestly Winnie was totally spoiled with picnics and play dates while we were away. I hope we can have her back with us for our next trip!!”
“Taylor was great. She was punctual, considerate, good with our pup, thoughtful (she sent pics of Bear while I was in the hospital),and very neat. She has our unconditional support recommendation.”
“Dustin walks my dog daily, and this was his first time watching him at my place. He did an incredible job and is super flexible and easy to work with. My (giant) dog loves him, and he took great care of the place. Highly recommend.”
“We had been looking for a dog sitter for our two dogs for a little while and couldn’t be happier with finding Ricky. From the first time that we met her, we knew she was the perfect choice for our dogs Tate and Penny. She took the time to come to our house for a meet and greet, and we spent so much time chatting about life and dogs, Tate and Penny and ourselves. Communications with her were very clear and timely, her pricing was very competitive, but more importantly was the way that she interacted with our dogs that made us feel so comfortable to let her stay in our home and spend the time watching our dogs. Both she and her fiancé, Joe know how to make the pups feel loved and provide the pets’ owners with the security that their animals are being taken care of safely. She provided us with photos daily. Ricky left our house very clean after spending the week here, and our dogs were clearly happy. We couldn’t be happier finding Ricky and Joe to help us when we needed them and we look forward to working with them in the future. We’d give them six stars if we could!!”
“Dana was amazing with our pets! We have a dog reactive large breed, and Dana kept him completely safe and happy through our whole trip! Communicative, kind, and flexible, Dana made travel easy!”
“We just had Zoe watch our dogs for 9 days while on spring break vacation. She was so great, checked in daily at minimum and provided great photos of the dogs, who loved her!”
“Sara was great with sweet Dexter. He is older and in diapers and Sarah was happy to give him the extra love he needed. She sent daily updates and pictures and he was happy when we got home. We would definitely book her again!”
“My husband and I have had Mikaela watch our 1 year old Golden Retriever in our house for two separate weekend trips. She’s took great care of our pup and gave plenty of updates. She also left the house spotless both times. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Gabrielle was amazing with all 4 of our fur babies while we were away in vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so communication was great. Not too much and not too little. She was even able to get some love from our highly antisocial kitty. I will definitely be reaching out again when we need her again!! Thank you Again Gabby!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norristown
Andrew is an exceptional dog sitter and an outstanding professional. He stayed with our four dogs in July, no easy job given that two of them are under 2 years old! He handled and cared for them with expertise and warmth, and every one of the pups adored him. He left the house in perfect order and happily went the extra mile to fill our bird baths and put out seed both AM and PM, among other things. We look forward to working with him again and cannot recommend him highly enough. A+++
Kathleen is fantastic! She is communicative and really understands our dogs quirks. She is attentive to their needs and even reminded me about our dog's medication when I forgot to leave it out! She is our go-to when we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend. Thank you, Kathleen!
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! :)
Julia took exceptional care of our senior German Shepherd while we were away on a much-needed family trip. For the first time, we could travel together without leaving someone behind to manage her care. Our old girl requires multiple medications throughout the day and has been dealing with back leg issues since last year, so boarding elsewhere simply wasn't an option. We discovered Julia offers in-home house sitting on Rover, which was perfect for us. After several days away, we returned to a happy, wagging old pup who greeted us at the door! She was clearly well-fed, given all her meds on schedule, and got gentle exercise to help keep her mobility in check. Coming home to her like that lifted such a weight off our shoulders—no more guilt about leaving her, and we got to focus on our college visits as a family. Julia's attentive, reliable care made all the difference. We're already booked with her again and highly recommend her to anyone with a senior pet who needs compassionate, in-home sitting. Thank you, Julia!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carolynn. She stayed the weekend with our girls and gave us wonderful detailed updates and the best pictures. Our dogs are a pair of opposites - one a demanding diva, the other very relaxed and easy going and handled both with care. We felt so good being away and knowing they were in such great hands. Thank you again, Carolynn!

FAQs for House Sitting - Norristown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norristown on Rover is $49.95 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 5,932 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Norristown. 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 Norristown 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 Norristown 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 Norristown 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.
