“Robert was very attentive to our dog. He took him on walks and spent a lot of time hanging out with him. He kept us updated throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. We were very happy with him. I would highly recommend him and will use him again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Marie. Our dog can be shy at first, but she warmed up to her instantly. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving her and our home in her care. We had updates and photos daily and she was extremely responsive if we needed to share anything with her while we were away. We returned to a very happy and well cared for dog along with a clean and beautifully cared for home. She truly went above and beyond, exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier that we found her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Kaitlyn did an excellent job watching our dog Lula! She was a great communicator, prompt and let me know what to expect each step of the way as this was my first time using Rover. Our communications were easy, she sent pics and was very professional. Our house was left spotless and our puppy was happy! Would definitely love to use her again when we travel!”
“Laura was so helpful with our 15 year old pup, who can be a little quirky. She handled his evening medications perfectly and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful to know he was in such good hands, thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of pets. From small to medium to large dogs and cats to rats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs to non-venomous snakes and lizards, I’ve been able to take parts in a number of fluff balls and scaly critters lives. I have experience in training young pups, litter training small mammals, and habituating reptiles. I like to be active, giving your pet all the attention they need. I do work a full time job that takes me away from the house from 7-3:30. I fit in a breakfast and a walk before leaving in the morning. From June 22-August 17, I work mon-thurs. the rest of the year is mon-fri I will walk your dog a minimum of 2 times a day, as well as play with them (provided there is a yard/space). I can continue training routines and generally spend much of my day giving attention to your pet. Additionally, if you maintain a garden or have potted plants, I will keep them happy and healthy as well
About: I had pets my whole life and have taken care of them since I was 10. I have taken care of neighbors' and friends' pets. I love animals. I currently foster dogs in my spare time. I took care of neighbors' dogs when they were away and have a love for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup and treating him/her like my own! Currently, I am in college and my classes are remote and online! On weekends I tend to be home unless visiting friends but will work with you based on your needs and communicate if anything changes. I treat all pets like they are my own. I keep pets on leashes during walks. If there is any mess for drop-in I will clean it up. I don’t smoke I’m very clean I’ll treat your house the same. I love going on long walks/ runs with dogs I have taken care of. Safety and security are my number one priority. I would make sure to follow specific instructions in your home and respect your property like my own. Whether I am taking care of your pet on a drop-in, or a walk or they’re staying here, they’re going to feel the love from me and feel safe.
“Meghan is awesome! She clearly took amazing care not only our pets (a dog and a cat) for the nearly two weeks we were on vacation, but our home was somehow cleaner than when we left! She sent daily updates, let us know if anything was unusual, and was overall an excellent communicator and a delight to chat with! We highly recommend Meghan and will definitely be booking her again the future.”
“3 dogs, 2 cats, dozens of pond fish, plants demanding attention -- Brian took care of it all! Our dogs can be wary of newcomers and Brian was able to win them over in little time. We felt very confident leaving so much in Brian's hands and he didn't disappoint. We even came home after almost 2 weeks to a clean and tidy house. We will definitely be using Brian in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for all of my life. I have been fostering dogs since I was 14 years old. I also am currently in school for zoology working towards my goal of going to vet school. I intern at a vet clinic where I work closely with a variety of different personalities of animals. I have gone abroad and work with a multitude of vets to gain more animal experience. I am also a hard worker I have been working since I was 14 as an amusement park as an animal caretaker while taking side jobs dog sitting. Your animals will be in great hands with me I will make sure they are well taken care of. I am a college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Between just letting out or staying the night, I only have a one class on Mondays and Fridays, none on Wednesdays, and three in the morning on Tuesdays, and Thursdays so I will be able to be flexible to your pet's schedule. Depending on your situation, I am able to adapt to your home environment, whether it be a pet on leash, fenced in yard, or crating your pet. I am able to adapt to whatever, you know your pet best so I will listen to whatever safety regulations you have implemented.
“Alex watched my dog overnight at my house while I was on a short work trip. I typically leave Oso with family when I have to go away, and last time I used a different sitter I had a bad experience, so I was hesitant to leave him overnight. But Alex was professional and I knew Oso was in good hands. Came home to a happy dog. Thank you!!”
“Gina and her pup, Dodger were wonderful with our Penny! Gina watched our 6 mo old GSP for several days in-house while I was in the office. Gina walked her let her out back, gave her treats, snuggles, love and taught her new tricks. And as a bonus, Penny met a new friend, Dodger who she loved playing with and snuggling during rest time. Gina was a great communicator. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day. Gina is very trustworthy and reliable. Highly recommend Gina (and Dodger) for your next booking!”
About: I grew up in farm and ranch country caring for horses, cows, goats, cats and lots of dogs, so animal care has been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Dogs are my favorite. I'm experienced with big, high-energy breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs and German Shepherds, and I'm just as comfortable with small dogs. I have three of my own: Willie (a Dachshund), Shelby (an Australian Shepherd) and Reba (a Cavapoo). I love the outdoors, so your dog gets real exercise, like morning hikes at Nockamixon, Ralph Stover and the Delaware Canal towpath. You'll get photo and video updates every day. My work schedule varies week to week, but I always plan pet care around it. Your dog gets a long morning walk or hike before I leave, and my mom is often home during the day for potty breaks and company. Evenings are for walks, play and couch time with the pack. I usually have a couple of full days off each week to spend with the dogs, and I’m happy to work around your schedule for drop-offs and pickups. When boarding, your dog stays in my home on just over two acres in quiet, rural Ottsville. The property isn’t fenced, so guest dogs are always on leash or a long line outside, with plenty of room to sniff and explore safely. My three dogs are friendly and social, and every stay starts with a meet-and-greet so I can make sure everyone gets along. For house sitting and drop-ins, I keep your pet’s feeding, walking and medication routine exactly the same and treat your home with respect. Every dog gets its own cozy space to rest, and I can crate if your dog is crate-trained.

“Keira did an excellent job taking care of our dog Blue. She communicated with me in a timely manner everyday and sent us pictures and videos to keep us updated. She also took care of our house and left it as she found it. Keira is very sweet and caring and I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Gabrielle was amazing with all 4 of our fur babies while we were away in vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so communication was great. Not too much and not too little. She was even able to get some love from our highly antisocial kitty. I will definitely be reaching out again when we need her again!! Thank you Again Gabby!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plumsteadville
Sharon stayed with our Cavapoo, Harper, for the first time during Thanksgiving week. We communicated several times prior to her stay, which was very helpful. Sharon and Harper had the opportunity to meet prior to the stay, as well. Sharon provided an update every day that we were away, and she was also very respectful of our home. Harper seemed very happy when we returned, so we know she was well cared for. We would definitely ask Sharon to stay with Harper again!
Sharon took great care of our Maine Coon kittens as well as our home while we were away for a week. We appreciated meeting her in person before our vacation. She sent us updates and pictures daily. The kittens were calm, healthy, and happy upon our return. She left the house in perfect order and the plants were well taken care of. She was professional, trustworthy and asked detailed questions. We highly recommend Sharon for pet setting in 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 Plumsteadville 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 Plumsteadville 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 Plumsteadville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
