About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was very young, my grandfather raised German Shepards and it was my responsibility to walk and feed them on weekends. I also volunteered at the humane society for about 6 years, i worked the adoption fair and I was a walker for them. I also have two cats and a dog of my own that I adore! I’m usually off Sundays, Monday’s, and Thursdays, which I understand can be a strange schedule. I’m also usually available before 3pm most days, and my job is flexible for the most part. I have training in pet CPR from my introduction at the humane society, as well as the Heimlich maneuver, which is really helpful for those pups who eat too fast or have a habit for rock-swallowing.
“Abbey did great with my dogs, one of whom is dealing with separation anxiety. She sent pictures and kept me updated, so that I could enjoy my night out. Will definitely use her again!”
About: Growing up on a small farm with many animals. I gained hands on experience caring for animals, fostering dogs, and helping my family breed Golden Retrievers. I have a very flexible schedule, working three 12-hour shifts a week as a nurse, varying days each week. I enjoy walking daily on my days off! My apartment is a welcoming environment with plenty of room for pets to play and relax. I have access to a fenced dog park at the apartment and walk the Swamp Rabbit Trail daily, a mile to Unity Park!
“Lori has watched our home and fur babies many of times now and has consistently set the bar on the type of care you’d hope for! Great communication, very reliable, gives them the exercise and loving they need, and is very respectful to our home. We love Lori!”
About: I’ve been the primary care taker for family dogs since the age of 7. I focus on proper nutrition and activity, supplemented by extraordinary love and affection for all animals; though dogs tend to get a little more :) Flexible work hours allow me to care for your dogs at odd hours of the day, and can often make special trips if need be. Set schedules are ideal, but flexible caring is not out of the question! I work from home during the weekends and would be able to provide care during those times as well. I have a rather large fenced in yard, with access to water and air conditioning (via doggy door). I have a roommate who is the proud owner of an English Creme Golden and is able to provide extra TLC should your dog need it! We have two dogs in the home, a lab mix and English Creme Golden, both are submissive and quiet, with a love for the outdoors and lots of naps.
“James did such a great job caring for our 3 dogs while we were out of town. We got plenty of communication with pictures and videos. He ensured that they had a great weekend and also took great care of our home while we were away. Thanks so much for everything!”
“Wesleigh did a wonderful job watching my dog, Waldo! She stayed at my house while I was away, which made the whole experience much less stressful for both of us. Waldo doesn’t like to be left without me, so I always worry about how he’ll do when I’m gone—but when I got home he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I could tell he really enjoyed Wesleigh’s company, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a few carefree days away. It’s obvious she took great care of him and made sure he felt comfortable while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend Wesleigh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I’d happily book with her again!”
“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”
“Maddi was amazing! I've never had someone outside of friends and family sit for our dog before. Well, Maddi treated Maple as if she was a friend or family member right out of the gate. Maddi is very trustworthy, reliable, thoughtful, and truly cares about animals. We will definitely rebook!”
About: Hi, I’m Hailey! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who has experience caring for dogs through dog daycare and kennel work, as well as dog sitting for my aunt. I love making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your fur babies like my own and make sure they get the care and attention they deserve! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working a part-time job, so I will have more than enough time to stay and play with your fur baby! My calendar will be updated weekly so you can see what days that I am available!! I will make sure your dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home while you’re away. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, and playtime routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they have everything they need! I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures if you would like so you can feel confident that your babies are in good hands!

Tanya is the dream pet sitter! I was able to fully enjoy a two week trip knowing my dog was in the best hands. She sent the cutest pictures each day, always kept me updated, followed all instructions, and even celebrated my dog’s birthday while I was gone! I even returned home to a spotless apartment and clean sheets! I would recommend Tanya to anyone!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our Rover sitter! She was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Her communication was fantastic, she kept us updated throughout the weekend, and most importantly, she took amazing care of our dogs and our home. It was such a relief knowing everything was in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a house that was just as we left it. She truly went above and beyond and exceeded every expectation! We would absolutely book her again without hesitation. 10 out of 10, HIGHLY recommend! 🐾❤️
Caroline was perfect! She did an in home stay with Ava Riley. Ava has never been crated or boarded and feels most comfortable in her own home getting lots of love and snuggles. I can tell she spent lots of time with Ava, relaxing and making sure she was loved and comfortable. She gave daily updates with pics/video, had no issues, and I felt safe and comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my girl. Caroline definitely surpassed expectations and we can't wait to rebook her!
Outstanding Lisa I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa ! My dog became sick before I have to travel out of state as while I was away, and she handled the situation with such care, patience, and compassion. She kept a close eye on my dog, communicated with me promptly, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Knowing that someone was there who genuinely cared about my dog and treated them like their own gave me tremendous peace of mind. Their responsibility, kindness, and calmness during a stressful situation meant so much to me. I highly recommend this pet sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Lisa you are amazing!!
I cannot say enough about Dylan and Nicholas! They did such an amazing job with Waylon. Dylan was so responsive, sent pictures and updates, and left our home so clean. Waylon loved his time with them and we never had to worry! We ended up having a family emergency while we were gone on our trip and they even agreed last minute to watch my Mom’s dog during a few of the days as well. We are so thankful to have found them and will definitely be booking again in the future! 💛
We had a great experience! She stayed at our home for the weekend and took wonderful care of our dog. He absolutely loved her and was happy and relaxed when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with respect, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Marco is the best sitter that we've ever had for Begonia. He was very professional and sweet with our little girl. He kept sending us pictures, videos and updates. We loved her interacting with his little boy. They were so cute together! Marco also stayed longer than any other sitter and left our house super clean. I would definitely recommend him. He's fantastic!
Ana was an outstanding house and pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and our six pets (2 dogs and 4 cats), including giving one of our dogs daily medication and making sure the dogs got their daily walks. Her communication was exceptional. Every day she sent multiple photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by taking our trash out after I forgot to put it out before we left. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. I highly recommend Ana and would absolutely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Overbrook is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Overbrook 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 Overbrook 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 Overbrook 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
