“Crystal is great! She recently stayed with our pups for 5 days and took great care of them and our home. She just did a few drop on visits for us too. She is reliable and experienced and the pups approve:). We look forward to using her again!”
“Alex was great. The dogs had a few minor medical things which she communicated to me and we worked out a plan-she even cooked for them to calm Martha’s upset tummy The animals were happy and comfortable when we got home. The house was in good order. We got so many great pics too!!!! She also offered to stay later if needed (we had some traffic delays) which was nice (we didn’t need it in the end but the offer was appreciated). Thanks Alex!!!!”
“Morgan is the best! Our kitty is shy and has anxiety which causes her congestion issues to flare up. She was so comfortable with Morgan from the start! Morgan was able to pet, brush and play with Esther! With Morgan there we felt so at ease and were able to relax and enjoy vacation! I swear Morgan is some kind of pet whisperer! 🥰”
About: Hello! I am an expert dog walker and I also offer check-ins and house sitting for your pup! I have had a dog in my home since I could crawl and have always loved animals of any age, size and shape! I am a compassionate nurse who wants to earn a little extra money doing something I love and spending time meeting new dogs too! I would love to come meet your pup and walk them around your neighborhood anytime or just give them a little extra love and attention. I will love your pets like my own and I promise we will have a great time no matter what! I currently work 2 10 hour shifts as a nurse and have 3 days off during the week as well as some weekend availability, so I have plenty of free time! I will walk the pets in your neighborhood or check in on them when needed. I can also pet sit, but cannot board unfortunately! I will treat your pets like my own and ensure they have everything they need!
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life (basset hound and dachshund mix) and now a yellow lab! I just moved back to Bucks County from Arlington, VA where I walked two dogs consistently (on the side of my corporate job). I also volunteered at a dog shelter where I would take dogs out for short fosters, which I loved! I did both of those things for about a year. I’m comfortable administering medication and making dogs feel safe and at home. My sister’s dog—dachshund mix—is very anxious and reactive and my lab is 133 pounds and full of energy, so I have seen a lot! I am currently in-between jobs and not entirely sure what the future holds as I take a break from corporate America, but I hope that doesn’t stop you from requesting my services. With that being said, my schedule is flexible! I would love to find dogs to take care of/walk regularly, but I am also open to sporadic drop-ins. For the foreseeable future, I will be taking a class in North Wales on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays, 10am-12:15pm but I can walk/tend to before and after. *As you can see, I change my hair cut a lot. Right now I’m rocking a blonde buzz cut. (Who knows what’s next!) I am committed to keeping your dog safe, happy, and comfortable. I will pay attention on sidewalks and around other animals, people, and cars. One of my dogs is reactive, as I mentioned, and can nip, so I am familiar with holding him back to keep everyone safe. On the other hand, my 133 pound lab wants to say hi to everyone, and I recognize that not everyone likes that, so I am also familiar with keeping him back. When visiting homes, I am respectful by staying in the designated space I am welcome, taking shoes off if doing a visit, and not meandering around. I have experience having possession of a key with past clients and am very responsible with it! I contacted my past clients through another app, but if I had their phone numbers I would ask for a testimonial! I’ve also worked with an older dog that needed diapers! If there is anything I haven’t mentioned but is a need for you, feel free to ask. I am more than willing to learn. 😃
“Marie was wonderful. My dog is usually very shy with new people but she was Marie’s best friend. Marie handled medications so well and was very kind and loving. Sent pictures twice a day.”
“Yani was excellent! She took such thoughtful care of our boy, Tukee, and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip. Coming home to a calm, happy cat was the best feeling. You could tell he’d gotten plenty of attention and love while we were away. She even left us a handwritten thank-you card, which was such a sweet touch. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”
“Katie is fantastic! She was great with our pups over July 4th weekend. She helped keep them relaxed and calm during way too many days in a row of fireworks. Her communication was excellent and you can tell she is a very experienced sitter. She was also flexible at the last minute when I had a change to my schedule and delayed my departure by a day. We look forward to having her watch our pups again!”
“If you're looking for a trustworthy and amazing pet sitter, look no further! Rachel is the perfect choice! She took care of our four dogs for five days in our home, and they were showered with love and attention. We received daily updates and photos, which was such a nice touch. Coming home to a spotless house and happy pups was a delight. Thank you, Rachel! We truly appreciate everything you did!”
“We're so thankful we found Robert! As a bit of a neurotic pet parent, and with a whole bunch of special circumstances, we were worried we'd have a hard time trusting anyone to take care of our babies. From the first meet and greet we got a great sense of comfort from Robert, and even the dogs were comfortable with him almost immediately. He was able to take care of our paralyzed 19-year old and kept our other two separate due to behavior issues. We couldn't be happier and would 100% recommend Robert!”
“Gina did a great job communicating with me while I was away - I am so grateful she was able to stay overnight in our home with her dog and mine. Plus- on CHRISTMAS - she was terrific. 💯 Recommend.”

“Erica is amazing! She took such great, loving care of my lab!!!! she sent many pictures and updates and I could see how happy my dog was! I travel a lot for work so this gave a great peace of mind! i highly recommend her!!!!!”
About: I’ve always been a HUGE animal lover! ❤️🐾 I recently moved into my own apartment, graduated from Temple :) and while I’m not quite ready to commit to having a fur baby of my own, I have SO much love and quality time to offer. My Blakey girl passed away 3 years ago now and Ive yet to adopt a new baby but until then Id love to treat yours as my own!! <3 IYKYK I work full-time during the day but typically home by 3pm. I recently graduated from Temple University so now my evenings are a great opportunity to spend time doing something I love — hanging out with animals! 🐾 plus that extra income helps :) I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of extra love and attention. I can also offer weekend availability depending on scheduling. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find arrangements that make everyone feel comfortable! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routines, respect their individual personalities and needs, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to provide pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in loving hands! ❤️
About: Greetings! I’m a hardworking and loving single-father who adores animals. I’ve spent all my life around animals of all types. If you have any questions regarding my availability, please reach out. I’d be happy to care for your furbaby :) My availability changes weekly. Generally available before 8am and after 5pm on days that I work, and all day on my two days off. My days off change every week. I know all animals are different and require different things. That being said, I will happily follow each and every pet parent’s instructions to ensure all of the animal’s needs are met :)
“I couldn’t have asked for a better house / pet sitter! I was out of state visiting family for the weekend, and having someone so reliable and attentive in my home gave me total peace of mind. Knowing both my babies (cat and dog) were so well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip without a worry. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout the weekend—it was nice to see my pets happy and comfortable in their own home while I was away. My home was left in wonderful shape, and both of my pets were clearly loved and spoiled. This is the first time I have used Rover for pet sitting and it worked out well. I will book again if needed and highly recommend her for services anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet care!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is simple.. I’ll love and care for your fur babies as if they were my very own! 🐾 I’m a proud dog mom to my little Cavapoo, Zori, and if there’s one thing about me, it’s that my baby is SPOILED! LOL. From homemade meals and brushing her teeth to endless cuddles, attention, and affection, I truly treat her like my own child. And I wouldn’t give your pets anything less! I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, because I’m the exact same way with Zori. That’s why I make it my priority to make every pet feel just as loved, safe, comfortable, and cared for as they would in their own home. With my background in caregiving and a lifetime of growing up around cats and dogs, being nurturing comes naturally to me. Whether your pet needs extra patience, lots of playtime, a little reassurance, or just someone to cuddle up with, I’m your girl! To me, your pets aren’t just animals I’m watching. They’re someone’s babies, just like Zori is mine. And while they’re in my care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I have a pretty flexible schedule! 🐾💕 I’ll be starting school soon, but classes will only take up about 3–4 hours of my day, leaving plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m also in the Army National Guard, so I have drill one weekend a month. Aside from that, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and give them lots of love and attention! I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home, where your fur babies feel most comfortable and safe! I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles! I treat every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual needs and boundaries. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your babies are in loving hands!

Crystal was so great with our 3 dogs! Judging from the pictures she sent they were all well taken care of and seemed to be having a lot of fun! She was very reliable and gave us updates! She even went above and beyond and put our trash out and back in trash day! Thank you so much Crystal!

FAQs for House Sitting - Paletown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,679 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Paletown. 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 Paletown 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 Paletown 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 Paletown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Paletown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
