Leigh was great! She stayed in our house with our two dogs and was punctual, communicative, and left the house nice and tidy! She sent us photos of the dogs throughout the day and we felt they were in good hands while we were gone! We would definitely use her services again!

Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.

Brad did a fantastic job caring for our senior Greyhound in our home during an international trip. He was communicative, responsive, and asked questions when needed to ensure he was providing the best care for our girl. I’m very grateful that Brad’s professionalism allowed us to have a worry-free vacation! And a bonus- the house looks even better than when we left it.

One of the hardest things about having pets is caring for them when we’re not able to. There’s just so much to worry about and too many nuanced details to convey to a house/dog sitter that it’s tough to be at ease. I’ll admit that I’m a little high-strung and using Rover for the first time for this service was not an easy decision. Fast forward to today…Heather is an absolute pro. You immediately get that she’s very experienced and respectful of your unique situation. She asks all the right questions and is an excellent communicator. Honestly could go on and on, but needless to say, we’re super pleased and I think found the high-mark on our very first try. We are already scheduled to see her again this summer and it’ll be the first time that I won’t worry about our dogs or home. Thanks Heather!

Abby was great to work with! Her communication was amazing and she sent pictures of Bentley and kept me up to date with everything. She took excellent care of Bentley as well as my house. She played with him and took him for a walk even though it was cold and windy. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!

Libby was amazing! We were supposed to make it to the Midwest for the holidays but instead got stuck in Atlanta. We made the call to come home at 11 PM and Libby offered to stay until the early morning when we got back. Completely respectful of our home and the dogs loved her. Cannot recommend her enough.

About: I've been taking care of my corgi, Muffin, for 10+ years since she was a puppy! Trained, fed, walked, played, etc. I've done drop-by visits for both dogs and cats for pet parents who are traveling. I've also taken care of my neighbors dogs many times while the owners were out on vacation. Also included in my photos are farm animals that I had the pleasure of hanging out with the past two summers! Happy to accommodate to your pet sitting needs! As an upcoming college student currently working a part time job this summer, I have some free time to spare! I would love to help out in any way I can. In my home, me and my corgi play fetch and lounge around outside in our big fenced in backyard! I will put in the same amount of effort for your pets that I do for mine. There are also many amazing parks nearby where I walk my dog!

About: I am a huge animal lover. Grown up with dogs my whole life! I ride horses and am surrounded by all types of animals. Have done a ton of dog/house/farm sitting in my life. I work from home so will give them tons of love and attention! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, where I can give them lots of love, take them out VERY frequently for walks etc. I am currently in a 2b2b apartment, with plenty of room for a dog to stay. I live just steps from parks and can walk them around the neighborhood extremely easily. Our apartment is extremely dog friendly with treats waiting at the front door of the lobby!

About: Hi! My name is Robyn and I just simply love dogs. I just moved back home to west chester and looking to take care of your furry friends! I personally have a dog too. He is a 9 year old lab named westley. Hes 9, and ive been taking care of him and other dogs for years! I also work part time as a restaurant server so just looking to also provide pet sitting/walking services for your fur baby because why not do something I love with my free time! Part time server, so pretty free schedule to play w your fur baby, take them on walks, pet sitting, even open to staying overnight or for extended periods if need be depending on the distance. My dog is weary of other dogs, so I unfortunately cant have your furbaby in my home, but more than willing to come over and help you out! I will utilize whatever care methods you prefer and adhere to instructions given to me, as caring for someone else’s pet is not a responsibility to take lightly!

Aidan stayed at our home and watched our 4 dogs for 10 days--not the easiest job. He was amazing. I think our house was neater than we left it and dogs were well loved and well cared for. He was very flexible and completely trustworthy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pocopson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Pocopson on Rover is $48.15 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 4,931 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pocopson. 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 Pocopson 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 Pocopson 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 Pocopson 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pocopson. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
