“Reina is absolutely wonderful!!!! She followed all my care instructions and went over and beyond for my dog. Super sweet personality and very sweet and kind to my dog. I am now a repeat client of hers and I highly recommend booking with her for your pet.”
About: I grew up with mutts and shepherds and Labradors. I continued to adopt a black, yellow and fox red Labradors and a Malinois over the years. I raised my mom’s Wheaton terrier puppy and potty trained until it was cleared to be around her senior Border terrier. I have a friend with a Walker Treeing Coonhound that we frequently have stay with us. I house sit for my brother and SIL who have had 3 Great Danes several cats and now have an Airedale Terrier and 2 Ocicats. I was a preschool teacher for many many years. I have retired and am looking for activities to fill my time. I love being outdoors on sunny days with my dog, Rainbow while we watch our yard full of birds, squirrels and chipmunks. I live on an acre of mostly flat, fully fenced in yard. My dog and cat are very friendly and don’t mind other animals in our home. I do have crates but have never really needed to use them with all the time we spend with our dogs. If we were to house another dog, we are able to contain the dog on one floor or just in a tiled room with direct access and o the fenced in yard.
“I was very nervous to leave my 14-year old blind, arthritic pug overnight but Michael totally put my mind at ease. He gave him wonderful care, attention, and affection that went above and beyond. Plus took care of my three needy kitties as well! And he sent lots of pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Michael. He was responsible and gave top quality care.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. I love dogs, and am always the go-to for friends and family when they need a pet sitter. I work full time as a teacher, so my schedule is open during the summer months. The rest of the year, I am available weekdays after 5pm, and most weekends. My own dog was crate trained, but I am comfortable with both crated and free roaming pets. I love snuggling on the couch with a pup or two, and am happy to stick to the routine that works best for your pet!
About: 🐾 All shots must be up to date prior booking. 🐾 Our goal is to give your pup the best experience possible. We're flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, anytime between 6:30am and 8pm. Since I have young kids at home, I try to stick to a routine. Hope this isn't too inconvenient for you. If needed, we can easily extend your stay—no worries at all 🦴🐶 All about me! I am an animal interactoinist. I just have a good open sense of character when it comes to animals. I enjoy the love they give and I am in tune with their individual personalities. I have a calm demeanor and I'm am very sensitive to their needs. I love to verbally communicate with them like I do with my human counterparts. I love to walk them especially as a part of my exercise regiment. I love to feed them at their meal times. I love when they are excited to eat! I also enjoy longer than 30 min walks so that the dogs have time to stop and smell and do the things they do. I don't like to rush them during their normal routine. They deserve the best at all times. My consistent daily routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, helps your pet feel secure and reduces anxiety. I do also start the day with a walk, playtime, or a brief cuddle session to bond with your pet and provide them with exercise and mental stimulation. To foster safety, trust, and a positive environment for your dog, I do provide a stable routine, establish a safe space, and create a bond through positive reinforcement and socialization.
About: I have cared for family and friends pets since I was 14 years old. Combined with my love for animals and attention to detail, my skill set has helped to create a special experience for each pets needs. From energetic dogs needing more patience and structure to senior pets who need a little more tend love and care! I am currently working full-time, 7am-2:30pm (M-F). However, on weekends and afternoons I am free to devote my time to caring for your pets. I don't work summers which allows me the flexibility to provide the best care needed to each of your fur pups. When caring for my own and other pets safety and trust is a top priority. Each pet is different however I still make it my business to make sure pets and parents of pets feel comfortable by catering to their specific needs in and out of my home. In my own home, I make sure the environment is free from anything that can be toxic to animals such as exposed wire, toxic plants, or foods. I maintain consistency with pet schedules to ensure each animal feels comfortable. I have a large backyard that is partially fenced in so pets can get regular exercise. I also have one mini poodle that goes by Karter, if it meets the pets needs Karter is great company to keep to promote interaction and stimulation throughout the day.

“Courtney not only took great care of our dog, but left our house completely immaculate. She gave us daily updates and our dog has never been so calm when we've returned for a trip. Best dog sitter we've ever had!”
“Yullia was a dream of a sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful and showed exceptional judgement. One of our dogs had an unexpected seizure and she dealt with it exactly as we would have. She then communicated consistently to ensure we knew exactly what had happened. We will book her again with no hesitation - the dogs love her.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m also a critical care nurse with five years of experience, so I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling medications, special instructions, and unexpected situations with a calm, caring approach. I have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, compassion, and personalized care are. Since my senior pup can no longer enjoy long walks, I’d love to give your dog the exercise and adventure they deserve! Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll stick to their routine, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, and send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. As a critical care nurse, my schedule varies, but I know it well in advance and keep my availability updated. On my days off, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet, whether that means long walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a critical care nurse with five years of experience, I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and comfortable following medication schedules and special care instructions. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own senior dog, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or elderly, I’ll treat them like family by following their routine, keeping them safe on walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
About: I am currently a German Shepherd mom, but I have experience owning and training dogs of all sizes! The most important thing I have learned in my experience with dogs is that they are all different regardless of breed. I cannot wait to build a bond with your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Additionally, I have received professional training for use of an e-collar and prong collar, should your furry friend need to be walked with either of those. On the weekdays, I usually get home around 6:30, and I like to go for a leisurely walk as opposed to the gym, so it would be the perfect time to walk your furry friend! Additionally, I work as a grad student in a research lab, and I make my own work schedule. So, my schedule is relatively flexible, and I can be available in the early morning or late night if need be. I own a German shepherd, so I am very experienced in providing the time and attention necessary to stimulate and occupy your furry friend during our walks. Additionally, the apartment complex I live in has a private dog park that your furry friend can be taken to if you’re interested.
About: Hi there! I used to do Rover all the time back in 2025 (check out my reviews!) and I’m looking to get back into it! I've loved animals my whole life and have always had with dogs until recently. Hire me for all your pet care needs! Turning leashes into laughters one walk at a time :) Hi there! My job recently switched to 5 days in office so I am available for early morning, evenings and the weekends. I do have some flexibility with my schedule so feel free to ask about adjustments! I have lots of experience with caring for dogs and cats and would be happy to help! Your pets are family! They will be loved and adored during my care, ensuring they are safe and happy until your return. Your pets are welcome in my home if needed and I am flexible with whatever would work best for you.
“Whitney did a great job taking care of my dog & cat for a few days while I was away. She was very responsive and I came home to two happy babies. Highly recommend!”
About: Despite being an dog lover for as long as I could remember, I didn't get to own a dog until 2021! Although I'm a little late to the game, owning my dog has taught me so much about dog behavior and animal nutrition. My pup is reactive so I have taken numerous training classes to help him, and I'm actively working on these issues, meaning not only do I have experience with reactive dogs, but I've also gained a ton of knowledge and information about canine behavior and training. I've also fostered puppies for my local dog rescue several times, so if you are having trouble with your new pup, I can take that stress off of you! I'm currently a full-time remote employee, which makes it incredibly easy for me to give your dog my attention if your pup stays with me, and/or house sit for ya! I do have a pup of mine at home, so any house sitting will need to be booked at least a week in advance, but other than that, I am available most days of the week for day cares and boarding! Safety is the number priority in my house so with that being said, if you decide to have your pup stay with me, I will keep them separated from mine! It will be a crate and rotate situation, just to keep both dogs and humans safe, but don't worry, they will get tons of exercise and treats when out! I have a fenced in yard at my home so if your pup loves to run around, they will get lots of it! But if they prefer walks, my neighborhood is quiet and has lots of smells for your pup to take in!

“Ruth was great with Brady, who can be very stubborn and set in his ways! She took amazing care of him and of our house while we were away. She was also totally flexible when we needed to come home from our trip a day early. We'd love to have Ruth stay with Brady again in the future.”
About: Loving and caring animal lover! I am a cheer coach and baker. I have always loved animals since I was a young girl. I have taken care of dogs, cats, snakes,lizards, birds, rabbits and baby chicks! I am usually very flexible with my availability because my practice hours for cheer do change especially between summer and the school year.

About: I have great knowledge and experience of dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have house sat and walked dogs through rover since I was a kid with my mom. I am experienced in training, introducing, and watching dogs as I have fully trained a male lab puppy, an African mastiff, my personal dog, and a therapy dog! I am currently taking full time college classes online, with two in person weekly. I also work marketing remotely so I have a lot of flexibility as I get to create my own schedule. I also am very fit and like to walk/hike daily finding new trails for me and the pups! I do hourly walks depending on the dog, as well as parks/hikes to make sure they fullfill their energy needs. I also ensure they are let out to use the bathroom on a consistent schedule as well as food and water. I myself have some energy so I do like to run around the backyard and/or play with them lots! If training is requested that is also done on a consistent strict schedule.
“Another great experience working with Rich! I will definitely be using him on a regular basis. The photos he sent were so well captured I will be printing them out for my wall💚”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penndel
We had a wonderful experience with Milo’s dog sitter! Since this was our first time leaving Milo with someone, I was naturally a little anxious, but the sitter made the entire experience so much easier. I received daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave me great peace of mind and helped me feel connected to Milo while we were away. Milo did great, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. We’re so grateful for the care and communication and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!
Bridgett was a wonderful care taker for our 2 standard poodles. She took them on long walks and sent pictures of them enjoying the sunshine. Bridgett stayed in our home for 8 nights and we came home to a very clean and orderly home. I would definitely use her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Penndel is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $59 per night.

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 Penndel 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 Penndel 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 Penndel 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 Penndel. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
