“Erika is amazing! She cared for our two dogs with love and sent me pictures of the dogs cozied up sleeping on the couch next to her. She respected our home and tidied up after herself. When our plans ran a little later than expected, she did not hesitate to stay until we were able to get home. I would highly recommend Erika for your dog sitting needs. I know I will be booking with her again.”
“Kat sent us photos daily while we were out of the country on our anniversary trip for a week. She was communicative per our requests and left our house nice and clean! We knew the pups had the best time snuggling with her.”
“Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, respectful and attentive to every detail. She asked thoughtful and important questions, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dogs in her care. My dogs absolutely loved her! She was early for both our meet and greet and her visit, and her communication and reliability were amazing. I truly couldn’t rate her highly enough and look forward to having her watch my fur babies again!”
“Tabby managed to earn the trust of my normally skittish, formerly feral cat, which to me, was HUGE! She was an excellent caretaker and communicator. She also did a great job as our house sitter!”
“Ben was absolutely wonderful! He communicated well sent great photos and we felt very good about having him care for our dogs. He asked great questions when he was unsure and to me that is the mark of a great person and a caring pet sitter! We will ask Ben back for sure!”
“Gabrielle was great! She stayed at our house for a whole week and looked after my 2 Great Danes and chickens. She texted daily updates with pictures. Pups were happy and house was left exactly how we left it. I will definitely use Gabrielle again!!”
About: Calm, direct, structured dog walker/sitter. Strong behavior cue recognition, leash skills, and vet/med/admin experience. Great with larger dogs, seniors, and nervous pets. Daily, I check messages, confirm schedules, and plan calm walks/sitting times. Weekends I block longer visits for feeding/meds and behavior notes, keeping routines consistent and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I keep routines consistent, minimize stress, follow written instructions closely, and do calm, structured walk/feeding/med support. I provide behavior notes and quick check-ins.
“Beyond thrilled with the service Amelia provided. She went above and beyond while we were away for 10 days. She accommodated a trip extension, battled snow and wind storms, treated our home and pets with care and respect. We really appreciate everything she did for us and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Alex was wonderful with my dog and cat! So communicative and followed instructions well. My sometimes-nervous pup was comfortable and relaxed in all photos and I came home to two happy and healthy pets. Would definitely work with Alex again!”
“Morgan did a FABULOUS job watching my two dogs while I was away for the weekend. I was nervous about having a new petsitter come, but Morgan put my fears at ease instantly. She sent awesome photo updates all weekend long. She was on time and super attentive to my dogs. I know they were happy having her watch them. And I'm pretty sure my house was better organized than when I left it! Thank you Morgan. She is a very professional and caring petsitter and I'm happy to provide this review!”
“Maria was an amazing dog sitter! She came to our house ahead of watching them to meet our pups and get information about their daily routine. When she watched the dogs, she sent daily photos and updates, providing us with ease of mind while away on our trip. We would love to have Maria back to watch our dogs in the future. :)”
About: Good with all kinds of dogs! Love to play with any dog and cuddle all types of fur babies! Good with ones with a lot of energy! Currently in college but make my own schedule! Can be open to anything!! Have breaks during my days to come over and check-in with your fur babies! I have a big fenced in yard to run around in, also have a little dog to give some company and play with! Can create whenever, but also has free range of the house
“5 star service from Eric and Sylvia. They took such great care of our Trixie and treated her as their own. We couldnt be happier and Trixie had such a great time, thanks so much Eric and Sylvia! We will definitely request you guys again, Mark and Christy P.”
“Kaitlyn pet/house sat for us recently, and we are so grateful for her help. She kept us regularly informed of our babies and was comfortable asking questions. It was wonderful knowing we had someone we could trust taking care of our critters!”
“Tim is responsible and compassionate and was absolutely terrific with our standard poodle. We’ve used him several times and had absolutely full confidence that his three day stay with our beloved canine would go well. And it certainly did. House was left in immaculate order and our Louie was sad to see Tim go. We can definitely recommend Tim to others.”
“We had an unexpected need for a dog sitter, and Rob stepped in without hesitation. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly receptive, knowledgeable, and immediately got along with our dogs. Managing five dogs is no small task, and Rob handled everything flawlessly. Despite the last-minute request, he was more than willing to help with little to no questions asked, which truly put our minds at ease during a stressful situation. Knowing Rob was at our home allowed us to focus on what we needed to without worrying about our dogs. He was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates and photos without us even needing to ask. When we returned home, everything was exactly as we had hoped—our house was spotless, and our dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We absolutely plan to use Rob again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with both their pets and their home.”
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pennsburg on Rover is $35.52 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 2,667 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.

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.
