“Fantastic house/dog sitter! She did an AMAZING job taking care of my two dogs and keeping us in the loop with daily photos and reports. If you get the opportunity to book with Alexa do it!!”

“Kim and Bill, the dynamic duo, are the perfect people to watch your fur baby. I usually get anxious when leaving my dog at home, but Kim and Bill updated me frequently about Luna and sent me lots of pictures. They truly are the best!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve had pets my whole life and started pet sitting for friends and family at a young age. I naturally connect with animals and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I am actively job searching, but I prioritize the pets I’m caring for and keep my availability up to date. treat every pet like they’re my own. I stick to their usual routines, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I keep things clean, calm, and stress-free so your pet can relax while you’re away.
“Troy & Shalah were excellent sitters for my puppies! They stayed overnight and made sure the dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated all the picture updates and the care they put in. The house was spotless when we returned, and the pups were very content. I’ll definitely be booking them again for our next overnight stays!”
“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💚”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Kim completely exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, she was responsive, friendly, and proactive — offering to do a video call and a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone felt comfortable. She stayed at our home for four days with our two large-breed dogs, and she handled everything like a true professional. One of our dogs requires slow introductions, and Kim wasn’t phased at all. She followed his lead, respected his pace, and within an hour they were already best friends. Throughout the stay, she provided consistent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a house that was honestly cleaner than when we left it. I will absolutely book Kim again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and capable sitter.”
“Emily did a great job watching both my dog and cat over a few days. She was able to connect with my dog right away and make him comfortable. She sent lots of pictures during her stay so I was able to see how they were doing. I will definitely use Emily again!”
“Highly recommend Jimi for all your pups needs. We hired Jimi to house sit and watch our Oliver for a long weekend. We couldn’t be happier, he was extremely communicative and gave great updates on our pup and was extremely respectful of the house. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. We are really grateful!!”
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!
“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!”
“Pat has developed a great relationship with Henry and took him on a very lengthy walk. It’s great knowing that Henry is getting attention and exercise while I’m gone.”
“Nico watched my two dogs at my house for 4 days while I had a trip to the East Coast. Nico did an awesome job! He gave daily updates , pictures, and took the dogs out on their favorite walks. Nico is also a great house guest as he kept everything clean and followed the instructions. I can’t wait to book him again!”

Once again bill has come through for me this time staying overnight with my dogs and house sitting as well. It worked out really well the dogs love him so much. I think the dogs do better knowing that a Holman is in the house..Bill is the best as his wife Kim Is I feel like they are family
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.
Alyssa was wonderful! Will use her again! This was my first experience with having a dog sitter and through this site! Would highly recommend! Alyssa came prior to our vacation and met us and lady. Super sweet girl! During our trip she kept in contact since she knew I was nervous and sent lots of pictures! Thank you again Alyssa!
This is our first time using the Rover service and so glad we did! Rachel was awesome and couldn't asked for better care for our 2 cats. Rachel arrived as expected and stayed and played with them each time, sending pictures along the way. I felt very comfortable with Rachel and how well our babies took to her. Will definitely be using Rachel for future needs. Thanks Rachel!!! 🐾
Randi is fantastic! She was great with my dog, spending lots of time with her while we were away. Our flight was delayed and she was super flexible to work with our new plans so that I didn’t have to worry about the dog while trying to get home. Randi was also very communicative so I didn’t have any worries!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Penndel on Rover is $44.94 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,327 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Penndel. 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 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
