“Andrea is a gem. She is very attentive and is wonderful with Eli. She ensures that he gets his medicine and daily exercise. When she comes over he immediately brings her a toy which is a wonderful sign. Eli also loves her boys. She also takes great care of the house while we are away. Highly recommend her to take care of your special pet.”
“Renee provided excellent, loving care to our Jazz and Max. Jazz was finishing a course of medication, and Renee stayed on top of that. She asked appropriate questions and was well prepared for any emergencies. She sent photos that showed how happy the dogs were in her company. We definitely hope Renee is available to stay with our pups the next time we go out of town.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young, from dogs to cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small animals. I love animals and enjoy bonding with each of my clients pets. I have been pet sitting officially for 6 years now, and have returning clients year after year. I interned at a vet clinic and studied veterinary medicine for two years, so I am well versed in understanding animal behavior/needs. I volunteer at my local animal shelter so I am well experienced handling animals of different temperaments and personalities. I love all animals, so I am more than happy to provide pet sitting for pets outside of just cats and dogs. Like me, I am sure pets are your family. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your babies in my care, if you would like to meet me before scheduling anything, reach out and we can schedule something! I look forward to answering any questions you may have. I am a college student, graduating at the end of this year, but my schedule revolves around pet sitting. I stay at your house with your pets unless I have to leave for a small period of time. I have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will have to leave the house for 3-4 hours on those days, but other than that I stay at your house all day and all night. I pet sit at your home, so I will follow the rules you have in place for taking care of your babies. I like to keep the same routine you have for your pets. My one request is that if you do not have a fenced in backyard, that you please leave a leash for the dog/dogs.
“After our regular sitter of 3 years stopped sitting we were so worried. Then we found Darci. She was wonderful. She was very communicative and responsive. She just really got Carlos and his little quirks. He quickly warmed up to her and after the first few days I found myself not even worrying anymore. I highly recommend her and look forward to her sitting for Carlos again in the future.”
“Nicholas and Melissa are absolutely wonderful. My dog Luci had small medical issue right before I had to go out of town for work. Melissa stayed with my pup and took amazing care of her. She she treated Luci as if she was her own, and kept me up to date the entire time. Melissa made a very stressful situation much easier for me and my girl. I highly recommend both Melissa and Nicholas if you need caring and dependable pet care. Both of them are truly animal lovers, and I am so incredibly grateful I met them.”
About: Hi, I’m Haylie! Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just giving extra cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my routine, and I’m always close by to make sure they feel safe and cared for. Working from home allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and keep your pet’s day as happy and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets get the same love and care as if they were my own. I create a safe, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I always keep a close eye on them and give them lots of love, care, and companionship.
About: I have always been a huge pet lover, I’ve had my own dog since I was 7 years old, I also have 2 cats that I help care for as well. I am a crazy pet mom to a tee from the matching outfits to defending my animals no matter the situation. You won’t regret picking to care for your babies while your gone :) I will never accept a job unless I know 100% that I can meet the requirements needed, my schedule does change a lot week to week, but I do always have time available in the mornings and at night I very much treat every animal that has been in my care or not in my care with the utmost respect I am a firm believer that their home is there space so I move in a way that keeps them comfortable and let them know that I move at there pace and will never force anything. If the animal love to be loved on I will be there to give all the hugs and loves they want, and vice versa if they prefer I stay out there space and keep my distance I’m ok with that as well :)
“Cyndi did a great job with our big boys. My wife and I almost felt bad that they didn't seem crazy excited to see us. She spent a lot of time with us before we went on vacation. I'm an over-protective doggy dad and my boys seemed very happy.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and I have had guinea pigs in my past as well. I have handled pets with all sorts of personalities and enjoy finding what they need to feel comfortable while you are away. Whether it is walking them daily or giving them medicine and even taking them to the vet if needed. I have done it all. I do currently work part time for a local pool. However, my schedule is really flexible and can be made to fit whatever is needed to make the pets feel comfortable. I have 3 small dogs at home which is why I can't have pets at my home as well as a family with a busy schedule. I have done everything from give medicine, follow strict diet and food instructions. I have also have had to take a golden retriever to the vet after his stitches came out while I was watching him due to him messing with the wound.
“Bianca was super responsive and sweet! She took great care of my 2 kitties and my elder baby :) Even handled an unexpected potty accident! OMG! Thank you!! The house was in perfect condition when we came back as well. Great experience”
“Morgan did a great job house sitting with our two dogs and one cat! She scheduled a visit with us prior to booking to meet everyone, learn their routine and where things are, and she asked great questions and took lots of notes. While we were away, she stayed in contact and sent regular updates and photos. She was patient with our pets’ needs as one of our dogs is older and the other can be a little picky! And Morgan was even able to bond a little with our cat who does not like most people. She left our housing looking like no one had even been there. Overall, we were very please with the experience working with Morgan!”

“Sierra was great. This was our first time with her as dog/house sitter and she was amazing. Excellent communications, asked the right questions, and kept us posted of how things were going without overdoing it. Dogs and house looked great upon our return.”
“Keita is a great rover! They were prompt to respond and had availability rather last minute which was so helpful to us! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and they left our home exactly as we left it! We would absolutely recommend their services and will book again! Thanks Keita!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Penney Farms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,194 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Penney Farms. 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 Penney Farms 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 Penney Farms 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 Penney Farms 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.
