I’ve dealt with many large farm animals and many small farm animals as well. No matter the size or personality I am able to get the animal to love me. I’ve never met an animal I can’t love

I work part time with flexible hours so I have lots of free time to take care of your pet! I'm free most mornings, afternoons and evenings. When I take care of a dog I'll take them for walks, clean up after them, play with them, and make sure they have food, water and plenty of attention.

“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”
About: With 10+ years of professional dogsitting experience I have worked with many types of dogs and pride myself on my ability to adapt to each animal's individual needs. I have experience with small and large breeds, puppies, seniors, those who are anxiety prone, high energy, and even blind. I am comfortable and confident administering medication (orally, eye drops). I specialize in dog care but have also cared for cats and horses professionally. Growing up I rode horses, always had a dog in the house, as well as cats, hamsters, and fish. Always immersed in nature, I loved to walk around my yard and find box turtles creeping along in the grass. A surprise to fulfill my childlike wonder that still hasn't left me!! As an animal lover from the time I was a little girl, I always went straight for the animals wherever I went to make an instant new friend. I was born with an intuitive understanding of animals, as a child connecting naturally, easily and deeply with them. Animals have always been a necessary and important part of my life creating comfort and companionship for both of us. I also offer ENERGY HEALING sessions for all types of animals. Benefits of energy healing include anxiety relief, greater over all wellbeing, aids in recovery after trauma or surgery, etc. Healing is received either hands-on or remotely. Please contact me directly for more info. Can't wait to hear from you! My schedule is generally flexible. Currently available for both long-term and short-term care, vacation needs, or other customization arrangement. Short notice requests welcome and I will do my best to accomodate. During my visit or stay with your dog(s) I would be happy to take them on a hike or to a nearby park for some exercise and fun adventure!
“Morgan is the best! Our kitty is shy and has anxiety which causes her congestion issues to flare up. She was so comfortable with Morgan from the start! Morgan was able to pet, brush and play with Esther! With Morgan there we felt so at ease and were able to relax and enjoy vacation! I swear Morgan is some kind of pet whisperer! 🥰”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with Melvin! She came in very last minute to help care for him when I had multiple competing priorities. She kept him calm and happy and took him on a great walk. Very happy!”
“Bev was super attentive to our pups!! She was also very communicative, sending us updates and photos daily of what the dogs were up to and responding quickly when we had questions. She really took great care of our dogs and we will be using her anytime we need a dog sitter. She's part of the family now! She's the best!!”
About: I have spent my entire life growing up with numerous and varied pets, which has given me experience with different animals and their needs. I would love to care for your pet—any breed, size, or personality! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to discuss scheduling a time that works for you! Please reach out, so we can discuss your needs. I will clarify with you if there are any specific needs or routines that would be followed for your pet. Typically, I would enter and greet your pet (whether with pets or from afar), feed them per instructions, and give them fresh water. For dogs, we will head outside for a walk or exercise in the backyard, and for cats, I would clean their litter box and then play or relax with them. Whether it is a drop-in, overnight stay, or walk, I will make sure your doors and gates are locked!
“Kat is the best!! We’ve used her often and she is my go-to. She always takes great care of our pups and our home. She is extremely reliable, caring and she loves our goofy mutts!”
“Kyle really came through for my girls and I in a pinch. Their regular sitter was not available for a weekend beach trip I had planned and we put our trust in another awesome human. He showed up for a meet and greet and my spicy, anxious ridden rescue took to him fairly quickly. We were all happy he was able to stay overnight. My girls usually dont do well with being left alone more than one night. I had updates when I needed and I came home to my place the way I left it. Would definitely use Kyle again.”
“Gabrielle is outstanding! She cared for our pet as if he was her own - showering him with love and attention. She took our dog on many adventures, regularly shared photos with us, and cared for our home as well! We highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who loves working with both dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, high-energy pups—as well as both trained and untrained dogs. I’m patient, adaptable, and comfortable handling different personalities, whether your dog needs structure, extra guidance, or just a fun, active walk. I also have a soft spot for cats and understand that each one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable while keeping their routine consistent. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and energy level to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of care! 🐾 As a full-time teacher, I bring consistency, responsibility, and care into everything I do—including pet care! During the school year, I’m available for before-school walks and afternoon/evening visits, typically after 4:30 PM. I love starting or ending a pet’s day with exercise, attention, and routine, so they feel happy and cared for while you’re busy. My schedule is reliable, and I always communicate clearly so you know your pet is in good hands. With summer right around the corner, my availability will be opening up significantly! I’ll be able to offer more flexible scheduling, additional walks, drop-ins, and extended pet sitting services. Whether it’s a quick morning walk, an after-school visit, or more frequent care in the summer, I’m here to help keep your pets happy, active, and well cared for! 🐾 ⸻ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I provide in-home pet sitting and walks so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment while you’re away. Being in their own home helps pets feel secure, and I work hard to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’m dependable, respectful of your space, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, or special preferences. I also prioritize safety on every walk by staying alert, using secure handling, and adapting to your pet’s needs and behavior. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with care and every pet like family, creating a calm, safe, and positive experience from start to finish.
About: I’ve spent the last 11+ years, caring for, training, and learning from dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperament. Along the way, I have volunteered at my local shelter, helping with daily care, walks, and enrichment. I have trained my own sporting dogs and I’m familiar with fundamental commands and training techniques as well as reinforcing good behavior. I stay engaged with the latest in dogcare and behavior through classes and daily practice. What sets me apart is that I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every visit. I focus on the little details… Your dogs routine, behavior, and comfort… So they feel happy, settled, and secure while you’re away. My visits aren’t rushed… Whether it’s a walk, play, light enrichment, gentle massage, or simply steady companionship, the goal is always the same… Your dog(s) feels cared for, comfortable and genuinely enjoyed and you feel at ease with them under my care. I keep my schedule limited and approach drop ins and overnights with the same intention, so every visit gets my full attention. I maintain a flexible, but carefully managed schedule to ensure each Dog receives focused attention. I’m happy to provide transportation to and from vet or grooming appointments and I’m always open to discuss additional training or support tailored to your Dogs needs. I provide “in your home” care for pets. I believe dogs are happiest and most secure in their own surroundings. I follow their routine offer walks, play, light enrichment, and plenty of attention and can administer basic meds and coordinate vet and groomer visits if needed. For the stability of my own pack, I do not offer sitting in my home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pennsburg
Cortina was an amazing dog sitter for our two dogs! First of all, she was consistently easy and quick to communicate with. I could tell my dogs were comfortable with her immediately at our meet and greet and it was obvious that they were well taken care of while we were away. She also provided updates for us while we were away which we appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pennsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pennsburg on Rover is $37.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,777 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pennsburg. 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 Pennsburg 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 Pennsburg 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 Pennsburg 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.
