“I’d say we loved Alyssa, but really it was our pups! We have a puppy so it’s a little bit of extra work and attention and she did a great job! The house looked just as we left it and the boys were so well taken care of.”
“We had an excellent experience with Monica! She took wonderful care of both my cat and dog at my home while we were away. She walked my dog each day and did a great job handling her (she is anxious and can be fear aggressive). We received regular updates and cute photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our fur-babies were well cared for while we were gone. We highly recommend Monica.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and lots of love. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, medication, or extra attention, I’m happy to provide the care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I understand that consistency is important for cats, and I strive to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure food, water, litter boxes, and any medications are taken care of, and I provide playtime, affection, and updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe while they’re away.
“Casey was incredible, I could not recommend him more highly! My dog was really sick while I was away and Casey kept me informed, sent plenty of pics, and he did everything he could to help my pup and keep him comfortable. Thank you again Casey!”
“Mandy was absolutely perfect! Cleo loved her, which was such a relief since Cleo can be particular about new people. Having Mandy there took a huge weight off my shoulders while I was away, and I loved receiving daily photos and updates of Cleo. It was so reassuring to know she was happy and well cared for. On top of that, I came home after a grueling travel day to a freshly cleaned home, which was the best welcome home I could have asked for. I would absolutely book with Mandy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Bridgette far surpassed my expectations for house & pet sitting. I'm real fussy about this sort of thing and I will tell you that she is the best we've experienced. Prompt, communicative, caring, and meticulous - Bridgette is not only a professional at home & pet sitting but also, just a fine person. Snatch her up to care for your home & pets if she's available. She's so good that we'll work around her availability for subsequent requirements if able. Thanks Bridgette.”
“Nikki did a great job! My fur kids were calm and happy when I got home. The pictures she sent showed how comfortable they were with her. She also watered some of my plants and took good care of my home.”
“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”
About: I grew up around dogs all my life! I used to volunteer watching over my friends dogs. I understand how precious each and every dog is, and I intend to treat them with the loving they deserve! I work full time Monday thru Friday. I get home around 4:30. But I am usually free on the weekends. Just shoot me a message and I’ll come watch your pups! I have a fenced in back yard, filled with grass. I have a couple of shiba Inus. They are sweet and love meeting new friends!
“Donna came to our house to watch our sixteen year old timer doggo, she's a terrific communicator, extremely friendly and trustworthy, and she took wonderful care of him. Highly recommend her, we will definitely be calling her again for future sitting. Reliable and caring.”
“Nicole was great. Came home to a happy dog. She was on time and communicated often as needed during our time away and her time with our high energy dog. He’s not good with other dogs most often so having someone to come here is great. I won’t hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I’ve always dabbled in pet sitting for the fun of traveling and meeting new breeds. Now that I’m semi - retired, I've discovered a new joy in providing care without the pressure of outside responsibilities. Having nowhere else to be means I can spend hours with your pets, letting them set the pace on our walks, and offering endless cuddles, allowing me to form trusted connections with every animal I watch. It is not that pet care fits into my life as much as pet care IS my life. It is breakfast, walk or read (depending on the species), groom, pet, games, naps, then dinner and repeat until bedtime. In follow the outline provided by the pet parent to work through the pet’s familiar daily routine. For dogs, I emphasize exercise and with cats, I emphasize stillness. For both, we find a compromise 😂
“Rachel went above and beyond to take great care of our pup! She was very interested in all our dog’s quirks and triggers and she took them very seriously which led to our pup feeling really safe with her immediately. She even picked up extra supplies when we ran out of them accidentally, and she sent lots of pics and videos so I never had to wonder how things were going. Will definitely recommend + book her again soon!”
About: Over two decades of experience taking care of client's dogs, cats and exotics primarily working in client's homes to ensure the companion animals are safe and happy at home. I work in education, so my schedule is extremely flexible this Summer. I would be honored to be trusted carer of your pets and home while you need to be away! I find my expertise is working with client's pets in their own home and consistently maintaining the routine they and their pets are used to.
About: Lover of pets! I’d love to meet your furry (or not so furry) friend. I’m very active, so long walks & even hikes are totally alright by me! I’m here to help you and your pet thrive. Whether that’s walking, playing, feeding, companionship, bathing , etc. I have been caring for pets since I was a youth. Whether that was neighborhood pets, friends pets or family pet. I have experience with a wide range of ages & sizes. I used to live out on a farm for several years and care for kittens, chickens, goats, pigs, and dogs. I helped take care of newborn kittens, feed and foster trust with them. Regularly cleaning the chicken coop, feeding them, collecting eggs and just hanging out with them. I would feed, brush and hang out with the goats also clean out pen. I raised a pig for 4H feeding, caring, and spending lots of quality time with him. And then of course dogs, I spent a good amount of years caring for two labs. Running them, washing them, cleaning up their dog house, feeding them. Snuggles and cuddles of course. I have notoriously always had an orange cat in my life; however living on the farm had about 6-7 cats I cared for. Them being farm cats mostly wanting to be fed and hung out with me in the grass or came by for pets. Neighborhood cats would get pregnant leading me to foster relationships with their kittens, a lot of times rescuing them, cleaning them up and bringing them back to wellness then re-homing them. Overall, I’d love to play & care for your pet as you see fit! Ideally I’d prefer a meet & greet prior to care. I have a very open and flexible schedule; morning's, afternoons and most evenings I should be around. My work schedule is currently evenings Sunday through Tuesday. I make sure pets are fed on time always have water and are let out whenever needed. I also make sure cat’s litter boxes are well maintained.
About: I love all dogs! I had a dog for 14 years of my life as well as many of my immediate and extended family also having dogs. I am reliable to walk, feed, play with dogs etc. I am new to the area and rover but would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’m currently waiting to start school so I have a pretty free schedule. I am able to help your pet during working hours and most weekends that I am around. I am unable to care for pets in my own home due to a rental agreement but have no issues caring for your pet in your own home!
“Liz was fantastic with the cats and their specific needs. She was very communicative and The house was very clean when I got back! I'll be booking with her when I go out of town again 100 %.”

Caitlin is so sweet and I felt so safe leaving our fur babies with her. We have a big Rhodesian Ridgeback with a good bit of separation anxiety and he told me they had a great time :) he is a lot of dog! We also have a kitty who demands many snuggles. Caitlin did great with them both. I’ll be booking again in the near future. Thank you Caitlin!

FAQs for House Sitting - Penn Cove Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Penn Cove Park on Rover is $47.08 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 773 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Penn Cove Park. 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 Penn Cove Park 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 Penn Cove Park 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 Penn Cove Park 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.
