“Madilyn took very good care of our cats. Our power went out during her stay and she was very communicative about the situation. We very much appreciate that quality in a cat sitter. We will ask her to house sit for our cats in the future. We highly recommend her services.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and now that I’m back from college, I’m excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I offer both pet sitting and dog‑walking to help care for important family members, your pets! I work full-time during the week but I have flexibility to check in on your pets before work, at lunch or at night. I currently work full-time (9-5 M-F) and would be happy to check on your pets before work, during my lunch breaks, and after work! I can spend evenings giving your pets all the love and attention they need and can spend extra time on weekends! I only offer care in clients’ homes, which allows your pet to stay in the environment where they feel safest. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet has everything they need. I’m careful with doors, lights, and anything your pet could get into, and I always make sure they’re settled and comfortable before I head out.
“Hayley did a great job with our two Bulldogs. They can definitely be high-maintenance, but she handled them very well. Overall, it was a great experience, and we were very happy with her care.”
“Mya was great with our pup! I have a very energetic and rowdy Aussie, and she did a great job playing with him and watching him for the weekend while I was gone. She was great about updating me, sending me pictures, and letting me know how everything was going! Thank you Mya!”
“Chelsea has taken care of my house and pets several times now. She waters the plants, cleans up after herself, and my pets love her. She makes it worry free to travel. She is also only the 4th person my 10 year old cat has deemed worthy enough to sit on her lap! That says it all.”
“Noelle was great with the dogs when we went on vacation! She sent pictures and updates and I came home to two happy pups when we returned. Highly recommend this sitter. She is professional, kind, and great with my high energy, occasionally chaotic, dogs.”
“Lauren and Layla were wonderful! We had complete peace of mind while out of town for two weeks. They sent updates regularly and included pictures of our pups. Our house looked just as it did when we left. Would 100% recommend them to anyone in need of pet sitting!!”
“I have three wonderful rescue dogs one is just a little higher maintenance. He’s the pit mix and Marci was “ the pit whisperer”. She was so good with Riggs that he wanted to follow her home. I had no worries I knew that everything was well taken care of it was clean when I came home Just as I left it. She’s good with my dogs, allowing them to warm up naturally. I would give her 10 stars. If five was limit she was above and beyond and just wonderful. Marci provided excellent care for my pups which gave me true peace of mind, knowing your babies are well cared for allowed me the pleasure of truly relaxing on Vitamin Sea😎‼️”
About: I am comfortable and confident with a variety of animals, big and small! I have experience with different exotic pets, large and small dogs, and cats (of course)! I am an active volunteer at the FCAS and take pride in providing the best care possible. I look forward to meeting your pets! I’m currently working part time in the evenings so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available all day on Sunday/Monday, before 3pm & after 9:30pm T-TH, and before 3pm & after 10:30pm Friday/Saturday. I am comfortable handling/walking dogs of any size. I am confident that I can befriend any animal! I have no problems caring for senior or young animals, whether that’s adding more playtime, administering medication, or providing standard care.
“I was very pleased with Brooke. She took good care of my boy. He was very happy when I got home. And showed no signs of stress from my absence. Good communication also.”
“Allie and Coco found a new best friend - we felt comfortable and safe with our girls in Matt’s hands. We received regular updates and fun photos. Bonus was coming home and not having to change sheets because Matt had already washed them. We will definitely hire Matt again.”
About: My 11 year old black lab passed away in 2023 and I’m looking to take care of your pets until I decide to get my own again. I’ve always had pets in my home and am the go to pet sitter for friends and family! I would love to work with you and your furry friends. I work a four day work week which leaves Friday-Saturday for me to work with clients and their pets. Depending on the holidays, I can be available additional days. I prefer to set up a time before service for a meet and greet to determine if I’m a good fit for your needs.
“Leah was wonderful! She sent pictures of our pups daily and was a great communicator! The pups loved having her around. We will definitely be booking Leah again! Thanks again!”
About: When I was 10, I kept my tamagotchi Dalmatian alive for 2 months. If for some reason that doesn't impress you...buckle up and read on. Most of the sitter profiles on Rover claim their "Pet Care Experience" and "love for animals" began in childhood. They will use every animal interaction they've had in the past 25 years as “Pet Care Experience.” Um...no. Let's break this down. 1. You feeding Cheetos to the family of feral cats living in that field next to your Elementary School. Might have earned you a scouting badge. However, it doesn't count towards your "experience." 2. Loving animals as a kid is not something unique. Nor does it equate having "experience." Is anyone here shocked by the news that a child loves animals?? No, of course not. Ever asked a child what their favorite animal is? Only to have the answer be, "None. I hate all animals. Animals are the worst." Nope you haven't. (If you have, that child is most likely going to be a serial killer or work at a slaughter house. Proceed with caution.) Alright.. moving right along... here's a little about me: From birth to now I've had a wide range of animals. The list is long but it ends at most birds. I don’t do most birds. Well Ducks? yes. Sparrows, parrots, albatross? No, no thanks. I did have peacocks growing up and my dad owned an Ostrich farm for several years.. which is super weird. Let's move on...Don’t really do cats in my home either. For multiple reasons. Bird & cat pets aside. Im pro-pet. Hip hip!! Sidebar*** (we have a bearded dragon and a Greek Tortoise. If you have a reptile or small animal that need to be boarded or dropped in on. we would be happy to help you with that.) Like any normal pet owner, I enjoy keeping my animals alive and healthy. Not once have I tried to starve my animals or neglect them in such a way that would render them a spot on the sad commercial with the “Arms of the Angel” song playing in the background. Those owners are the worst. Lucky for you...I am not the worst! Sarcasm aside…I’ll treat your pets like I would want someone to treat my pets. I’ll accommodate their/your needs and give you peace of mind as you vacation or do time in prison. (No judgements) If your animal has medical issues, a drug or alcohol addiction, gang affiliation, is running from the law or needs special care. I got it. If I don’t got it… I’ll Google it. Chat GPT is amazing! Duh! Unless your Pekinese needs a kidney transplant or your doodle wants a face lift. I should be able to keep them happy! I walk my dogs every day, if your pet wants to join us, great. If not, great. Sleep on the bed or sleep on the floor? Again don’t care. Im good with both. Last and certainly not least… There is 1 thing I will not do. I refuse to call your dog a fur baby or any other lame name like that. Why? Because it's weird and stupid. I cringe & immediately check out of a conversation when someone starts talking about “furbabies.” I just can’t. Plus your pet doesn’t like it either. They just put up with it because you feed them. I’m a stay at home mom. While my kid is at school and I do normal homemaker things. We have some after school activities & events but for the most part we will be around. These questions….I’ll make sure to put away all of my broken glass pieces and lock the door to the room where I keep all the poisons and explosives… whatever. My house is safe, I have a yard, real safe. If you have special requests just tell me and I’ll do what you ask me to do…unless it’s weird or gross.
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”
About: Hello! My name is Paulina! I am a college student at Salem College majoring in Chemistry and an aspiring dentist who loves animals. As a proud owner of two cats, Chobani and Vela, I know firsthand how much love, patience, and dedicated care pets need to feel safe and happy while you are away.

My chemistry studies and experience teaching piano to children have made me naturally detail-oriented, patient, and extremely reliable, meaning I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and medication instructions as written. Whether your pet thrives on energetic fetch games, interactive wand play, or gentle belly rubs and low-stress neighborhood walks, I tailor every visit to their unique comfort zone. Above all, I prioritize safety and clear communication, making sure your home is secure and sending you frequent photo and video updates so you always have total peace of mind! Hello!

About: I have started caring for pets since I was 12 I watched my family friends three dogs on many occasions and helped to potty train her new puppy. I have taken four years of vet and grooming in high school and know a lot about heath and safety for pets and grooming procedures. Also included walking the dogs through out the day. I love pets so much and would love to hang with yours!! I’m currently in college but I am online so I will have plenty of time to play and be with your pets throughout the day and they will rarely ever be left alone. We do have a fenced yard and I have four dogs your dog can play with they are all very friendly and love new friends I have multiple crates so if needed your dog can be crated.

It was wonderful having Eleanor house-sit and take care of our Lab for the week! She sent us daily photos, responded promptly to every message, and even administered his ear medication each day without any issues. We had complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pfafftown is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $68 per night.

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 Pfafftown 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 Pfafftown 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 Pfafftown 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 Pfafftown. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
