“Lauren was great! I felt very comfortable leaving our kitty in her care and she got the attention and meds she needed while we were away. We'd love to have Lauren back!”
“This was our first time with Ann as our in-home dog sitter for a four day, three night out of town trip. We’re always a bit anxious the first time with a sitter but Ann put us at ease immediately. Our dog loved her and even let her brush her a bit - a true miracle! Ann sent updates and photos and was patient with my “I forgot to mention. . .” texts. :)”
“James was great! He came over to meet our 3 cats before his overnight stay which helped us feel more comfortable. He swept and cleaned, everything is just as we left it! He was great at communicating check in and questions , provided photos which was so cute and much appreciated! 10/10 would recommend and book again”
“This was our first time booking Evelin, and she did a fantastic job house sitting for our two Labrador puppies. They were clearly excited to see her when she arrived, which immediately put us at ease. Evelin spent plenty of time playing with them in the yard, which is one of their favorite activities, and made sure they received lots of attention and exercise. We returned home to happy, tired, and well cared for puppies. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Excellent, kind, considerate dog sitter. Briana sent us pictures daily of our dog, she walked him extensively and also helped to work on some training with him. Briana knew how to handle our dog who has some reactivity and anxiety. She was respectful of our home, prompt and great with communication and care !”
“Lizzie is AMAZING! She took fantastic care of Baker and understood all of his quirks. She loved on him like he was her own pup. We highly recommend her and will rebook. :)”
“Mandi was great with our dog. She was punctual and friendly. Our pup loved her (loves everyone though haha). She kept us updated throughout the evening while we were gone with pictures and messages. She comforted our pup when people were letting off fireworks unexpectedly. Would hire again!”
About: I've taken care of people's pets for over 8 years. I typically do overnights on weekends, but I have experience with multi-week stays and could possibly accomodate for that depending on location! I'm a runner and a hiker and I usually like to take dogs on different adventures whether it's a run on a bike path or on the trails! I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as younger, more lively pets! I am a full-time graduate student, so I am on campus in the mornings-afternoon. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets whether that's taking them for a walk mid-day, or providing care overnight. I also do housework at homes when asked such as taking care of plants, watering gardens, vacuuming and making sure you return to a spotless house! I am a full time graduate student so I am on campus from about 8am-2pm (at the latest). I do have some flexibility to stop by mid day to check in with your pet(s) as well. I work some weekends for maximum 3.5 hours, so I can plan to be home almost full time on weekends if needed. I am available for mid day walks on some days (Wednesday-Sunday) as well! I easily adapt to the home structure of the people I pet sit for. With clear instructions I can maintain your home routine for your pet(s) to keep consistency in your lives and pets lives!
“Ayomi was so amazing!! She stayed at my apartment with my attention needy angel and gave me the best peace of mind while I was away on vacation. Sending pictures and updates daily and was always prompt to respond if I had any questions. She also made a point to ask questions and take notes during our initial meet and greet. Would highly recommend!!”
“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”
“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”
“River did a great job with our three dogs. He was prompt with replies, arrival, and giving exceptional care to them all. We look forward to future pet sitting from River and highly recommend him to anyone who needs the best care for their pets!! Thanks River!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Paoli
Ellery is a wonderful pet sitter. It was clear from the moment we met her she cared about animals and immediately engaged with our dog. She stayed at our home and took great care of our pup and home. Something unexpected happened while we were away that was outside of her control and she immediately alerted us. She has great communication, is very capable and reliable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 809 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Paoli. 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 Paoli 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 Paoli 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 Paoli 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
