“McKayla was an outstanding in home pet sitter for my cats! She made me feel completely at ease during my trip with her daily check ins which included pics of everybody looking content in her care. Will be utilizing her services again and again!”
“Hannah was just wonderful! She communicated well, took excellent care of my pups and left me house exactly as expected. I would recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Alejandra is an excellent pet sitter and house sitter! She stayed with our large dog and small cat for 10 days. The pets and the house were cared for perfectly. We didn’t have to worry as she is extremely competent and conscientious. Everyone was happy when we came home and the house was perfectly clean and straight. She even gave the dog a bath while we were away. We highly recommend her!”
“Sarah is amazing! She is incredibly thorough, patient, and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat that even I hadn’t thought of, and my cat was completely calm and comfortable around her. She also took amazing photos of my baby and was very attentive to everything happening in the house. She noticed and communicated anything that might need my attention, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate how caring, observant, and responsible she is. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Excellent communication and was very responsive to my request for a sitter. Sent videos and photos of my dogs to keep me updated. The dogs looked to be having a blast with her. Would use her again.”
“Angelica was great with our large, high-energy dog. She was in constant communication with us throughout the weekend, and took our dog on multiple long walks throughout the day. She is so nice and someone you want to leave your dog with! We will definitely book again, she took great care of our dog!!!”
“Alex watched my dog overnight at my house while I was on a short work trip. I typically leave Oso with family when I have to go away, and last time I used a different sitter I had a bad experience, so I was hesitant to leave him overnight. But Alex was professional and I knew Oso was in good hands. Came home to a happy dog. Thank you!!”
“So happy to have found Nico through Rover. We can now leave our dogs and feel confident that they are being well-cared for. Nico kept us informed with photos and texts, and the dogs had a blast with him. Nico's love of dogs is matched by his knowledge of different behaviors and how to handle them. We couldn't be more satisfied. We 100% recommend him and our dogs give two paws up!”
“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.”
“Stefanie is the first house sitter I've ever had in my long history of being a dog Mom. I am wondering what took me so long to choose home comforts over a kennel for my dog Rosie because Stefanie is all that I wanted in a house sitter. When I had to change the reservation last minute, Stefanie was completely understanding and accepting of the change. I know that Rosie was in the best of care and I loved Stefanie's daily pictures and updates. I didn't worry about my pet at all. Stefanie is very neat, respectful, and responsive. I will definitely ask her back.”
About: 15 years caring for my family dog and now my own dog, plus regular walks, drop-ins, and overnight care for neighbors, friends, and family pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of every size. Millie, the Bernese Mountain Dog you’ll see in my photos, is my boyfriend’s dog; she lives at his house, not mine, but I walk and care for her often, and at over 100 pounds she’s proof that a big dog who pulls or needs a confident handler is no problem for me. I’m experienced with administering oral medications, managing leash-reactive dogs on walks, and handling standard crate and feeding routines. I keep detailed notes on each pet’s needs and I always have your vet’s information on hand in case of an emergency. At home it’s just me and Hank, my golden retriever. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with grassy areas, sidewalks for walking, and a designated pet relief area right outside. Hank is friendly with other dogs, so I’ll be upfront about whether your pet would be a good match before booking. I work from home on a standard weekday schedule, so I’m available for early morning visits before 9, midday walks and drop-ins, and evenings. Weekends are wide open. I can usually accommodate same-day requests; just message me. Safety Your pet’s safety comes first in every decision I make. I keep dogs leashed and harnessed any time we’re outside my apartment, including in hallways, elevators, and the lobby, since other residents and dogs come around corners without warning. I check the weather before every walk and adjust; short routes and shaded paths in heat, and salt-free surfaces and less time outside in the cold. Before the first visit, I collect your vet’s name and number, an emergency contact, and any medical history I should know about, including allergies, medications, and reactivity around other dogs. If anything seems wrong, you’ll hear from me immediately. Trust I’m a full-time HR professional, so handling sensitive information carefully is already how I work. I treat your keys, door codes, and home the same way. Keys are labeled with your pet’s name only, never an address or unit number, and they’re stored securely at my place when I’m not using them. I send photos and an update after every single visit, so you always know exactly what happened and when. I don’t bring anyone along on visits, and I don’t share photos of your pet publicly without asking first. If plans change on my end, you’ll hear about it early rather than at the last minute. Environment I live in a pet-friendly apartment community in Lansdale with sidewalks, grassy areas, and a designated pet relief area just outside the building. My own dog, Hank, lives here with me, and I’m upfront about whether he’s a good match for your pet before I accept a booking. My home is dog-proofed already; trash is secured, cords are tucked away, and anything unsafe stays out of reach. In your home, I stick to the areas you tell me to use and leave everything as I found it, including lights, doors, and thermostat.
“We’ve used Nikki’s pet sitting services several times now. Nikki always takes such good care of our dog Georgie. He’s older and requires a bit of extra care and Nikki is always there to help accommodate his needs. We appreciate how attentive she is and makes sure Georgie has everything he needs while we’re away. Her updates always include the cutest photos and great recaps of what their day was like. 10/10 - Would recommend Nikki to anyone!”
“My husband and I have had Mikaela watch our 1 year old Golden Retriever in our house for two separate weekend trips. She’s took great care of our pup and gave plenty of updates. She also left the house spotless both times. I would highly recommend her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penllyn
Ben was fantastic! He kept me updated on Boots' medications and sent the cutest pictures of all 3 pups throughout his stay. He also took excellent care of our home, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others!
We just had Sarah watch our two dogs in our home for the second time and she was absolutely fantastic! One of our dogs recently hurt his leg and she went above and beyond administering his medication, walking him on a leash in our backyard, and keeping a close eye on him. Would 1000% recommend Sarah!
We went away for a week and had Nicole take care of our dog Teddy. He is very shy and not used to strangers. He warmed up to her immediately and they had a great week. She sent us pictures of him and kept us aware of what he was doing each day. The house was perfectly kept and I really felt confident being away and not worrying about the dog or our home. I would absolutely use Nicole again. She was responsible and reliable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Penllyn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Penllyn on Rover is $41.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,701 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Penllyn. 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 Penllyn 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 Penllyn 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 Penllyn 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Penllyn. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
