“Always a great stay for our Trio.

About: Hey, I'm Kelly! I've dog-sat for friends over the years for various lengths of time, getting to know many different breeds and their unique personalities. I genuinely love dogs and focus not just on their basic needs, but also on engaging with them and providing a fun environment. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced, and fun-loving dog sitter, I'm your person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home, which means plenty of time to hang with dogs. Whether it's walk time, feed time, or just chill time, I've got it covered. Love having a furry friend around to make the workday better. I've got a great setup at home for dogs – a fenced backyard for them to run around in and tons of toys for playtime. Your dog will have the freedom to explore and play in a secure environment, and I'll always be there to keep an eye on them. So, while you're away, they'll be having their own little fun-filled vacation at my place.
About: I'm a repeat dog sitter and have experience with unexpectedly taking a dog to the vet, after-surgery care, cleaning wounds, breaking up fights, multiple dog homes, getting difficult dogs to take pills, and training. I also do pet portraits! I work from home as an illustrator so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I'm available all weekends and weekdays! I take care of pets in their own home. I can take animals on walks, play fetch, crate them; whatever would make them most comfortable! I can stay for as long as you'd like or only check in a few times a day.
“Tara was great and super accommodating. Our pup took to her right away. Usually she has a fit of separation anxiety when we leave, but not with Tara. They had a good evening together. We recommend Tara highly and would use her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since early childhood. Love walking and caring for my dogs and my neighbors since my early teens. Currently, my fur baby is a 7 year old terrier mix who is the joy of my life. I’m currently seeking pet sitting opportunities in NEPA to be closer to family. My wife and I work from home so we are able to be available anytime of the day and provide frequent walks and care. We routinely walk our own dog a minimum of 4 times per day. I understand the desire to have your fur babies comfortable in your own home. I’ll continue their normal daily routines and make sure they get lots of pets and play time with their favorite toy.
“Logan did an excellent job watching our 3 dogs and chickens. Our dogs aren’t the easiest to care for - they are a little high maintenance, but Logan did great with them!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with at least 4 dogs at a time. I currently have a 7 year old & 2 year old Catahoula leopard dogs & 3 children. I have experience with all different types of dogs from big to small. I love all breeds. When I was a teenager I spent a summer helping train service dogs for people in wheelchairs. Which I loved. It was so much fun & rewarding. I'm also a certified obedience dog trainer with certifications in pet first aid & CPR training & dog walking. My availability depends on the day, so just contact me & I can usually fit your pup in. I don't mind traveling in any weather. Look forward to meeting you & your puppy. I have a great family to help support me with my dream of working with dogs. I do this full time along with training. I have a fenced in yard & friendly dogs that loves other dogs to play with. I also have a small & large kennel that we can pop up if needed. I'm doing this full-time now. I have my schedule setup to be pretty flexible with each dog's needs. With my experience at the doctor's office, I know how to manage time to better suit all my clients. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs are friendly & goes out all the time to continue with their socialization & training. I have different size kennels if needed. I like doing "meet & greets" to get to know your dog & you better & to completely understand the layout of your home. It also gives us the chance to go over things & ask any questions. I'm also fully insured in case if something ever happened.
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I took care of my childhood dog from a puppy through senior stages, and have dog sat a variety of pets from extra large puppies to small, 15+ year old dogs - at the same time! I am used to boarding and taking care of pets at their own homes, but I would also be able to have pets at my home! I am currently in medical school but only have class on Tuesday-Friday. Otherwise, I’m at home studying and can take breaks to care for pets! I am very flexible depending on the individual pet's preference! I live a rather active lifestyle and enjoy going on runs and hikes in my free time, and would be happy to take a pet with me, or spend time playing with pets in my yard. However, I am also happy to spend time sitting with pets who are less active inside, and still giving them the attention that they deserve. I dont mind pets on furniture or sleeping in bed with me if thats what they are comfortable with.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is , I love giving massages to my friends animals . I’m a massage therapist and even animals need to relax! My background is babysitting.

I would say I care of them by being very attentive. I’m an observant person . Making sure they’re well hydrated on walks and loving them !

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olyphant
Wonderful experience! Morgan kept us constantly updated with photos throughout our trip, which our kids absolutely loved—they were thrilled to see their puppy while we were away. She was punctual, respectful, and even left our home cleaner than when we left. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care!
Lori was an amazing at-home sitter for our Belgian malinois, Roscoe. She took great care in sticking to his routine, gave him lots of love and special attention, gave us frequent updates and pictures, and left our house in perfect condition. We will absolutely book with Lori again in the future.
Megan was amazing. This was the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family. Megan sent updates, pictures and my dog was so so well cared for. She is great at following any special instructions. I am so grateful and will be using her again soon. She is simply the best.

FAQs for House Sitting - Olyphant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olyphant on Rover is $55.5 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 210 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olyphant. 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 Olyphant 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 Olyphant 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 Olyphant 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.
