About: Hi! It’s nice to meet you and your pets. I have been pet sitting for over 11 years for all my neighbors and coworkers. I love to meet all different types of pups and cats I’m currently working full time, however my schedule is able to be worked around the pets and what their needs are. I always make sure that the pets are taken care of first and if I can’t do it, then I always let you know in advance. I will always love to take a walk with the pets or spend one on one time playing with them. I love to bond with any animal
“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.”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“I truly can’t recommend her enough! She stepped in at the last minute when I needed a sitter for a girls’ weekend, and from the second she met my dog, Aspen, I knew I had found the right person. Aspen instantly felt comfortable with her, and it was obvious the feeling was mutual. Watching him warm up to her so quickly put my mind at ease. As a first time dog mom, leaving Aspen with someone in my home for the very first time was incredibly nerve-racking. She completely exceeded my expectations. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with lots of messages and pictures, which helped me relax and actually enjoy my trip. She even took Aspen out for a pup cup, and that small gesture meant so much because it showed how much she genuinely cared for him. When I came home, Aspen was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. She treated him like family, and that’s all any pet parent could ask for. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable, communicative, and will love your pet as if they’re her own, look no further. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for making Aspen’s first sitting experience—and mine—such an amazing one!”
“Nico is the absolute best! Our plans changed last minute and he was so understanding. Our pups have the best time when Nico is here and he gives all the cuddles, playing and love they need.”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my two Yorkshire terriers. I love the ability to let them stay in their own house and play in their own yard without being crated. Amy made that possible and I will definitely book her services again.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around my whole life and knew from a very young age that i was meant to be apart of changing an animals life in a positive and proactive way. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I am also a veterinary technician! so pet care is apart of my everyday routine. I have 2 very friendly dogs and 2 very friendly cats that get along with anyone and anything. I can walk them around my neighborhood!
“Ariana was extremely professional and super nice when communicating with us. She sent frequent updates on the dogs and took good care of them. Will definitely be booking Ariana again!”
About: Hi! Long time lover of dogs! While I love all types of dogs, my parents were big fans of Yorkshire terriers and Poodles. We've had many over the years! During the week, I work in healthcare in the hospital setting. Many of my work skills translate to giving your pup the best care! I have a calm demeanor in high-stress or emergency situations and I'm trained in safety, hygiene, and detail-oriented care. I've watched dogs periodically for friends and family over the years both in my own home and in theirs! Hope to meet your pup soon! I currently work full time during the week. I'm pretty available on the weekends where I am mostly relaxing, catching up on house chores and running errands - but very available. During the week I am available for evening walks! I do have a fenced in yard. I have a door that prevents dogs from venturing into the bedrooms and basement when I'm not home.
“Beverly was awesome. This was the first time we were away from our 150lb mastiff puppy and we were worried about him. Bev made us very comfortable during the meet and greet and communicated with us up until the the sit started to ensure she had all the details and care instructions. On the day of the sit she showed up right on time and settled in before we had to leave, so the puppies would get used to her being in the house. During the next few days she took wonderful care of our furbabies. She played with them and cuddled with them when they were moping and was persistent about trying to get them to eat. Pretty soon they were following her around everywhere. She sent us a lot of pictures of them and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. We would love for her to care for our babies again in the future.”
“Bill was great with the boys. We can tell that they were very happy from the photos he sent. He took good care of the house. We will be booking him again.”
About: About Me: Your Dog's Next Best Friend 🐾 All my life, my world has revolved around four-legged family members. I’ve been caring for dogs since before I could even walk, and I’ve long been the go-to pet sitter for my entire family. I truly understand that every dog has a unique personality and their own special way of showing affection. For me, pet sitting isn't just a job—I love spending quality time building trust, learning your dog's unique signals, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Services I Offer Whether you need a quick check-in or full-day care, I've got you covered: Drop-In Visits & Feedings: Keeping your pup's routine perfectly on track. All-Day Pet Sitting: Dedicated, full-day companionship and care. Adventure Walks (My Specialty!): Perfect for high-energy dogs or pups who love to explore. 🌲 My Specialty: The "Daily Adventure" Walk If your dog loves the great outdoors, they will love staying with me! I walk my own dog between 3 to 6 miles a day, exploring local trails and discovering new environments. I believe that changing up walking routes keeps a dog mentally stimulated and deeply engaged. By turning a standard bathroom break into a fresh adventure, your pup stays excited, happy, and pleasantly tired out by the time you get home. Ready to level up your fur-baby's daily activity? I’m the reliable, active, and loving sitter you’ve been looking for. Let’s connect and chat about your pup's routine! I currently work part time so there is plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your fur baby! I can walk and feed your pets in the morning and will be back in time to take care of them in the evening! Hey pet parents! I’m an active, outdoor-loving pet sitter who specializes in turning boring workdays into mini-adventures for your pup. If you have a dog with energy to burn, I’m your person! From brisk cardio walks to interactive playtime that keeps their minds sharp, I make sure your dog gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be calm and relaxed by the time you get home. I offer dedicated dog walking and pet sitting services tailored entirely to your routine. I understand safety is a big concern for every pet owner. I always include real-time photo updates during every visit. If there is ever an emergency I will always call and let the owner know. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.
“Tim is the best dog and house sitter in the world. He’s become a good friend of ours because he treats our dog as his own, and cares for our home like it’s his. He is truly the best human, and pup watcher.”
“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norristown
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!!
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 $53.28 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,677 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.

- 96% 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.
