About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, from cats to dogs. I love animals with my whole heart and love being around them! I have watched my family and families friends pets. I am currently enrolled at West Chester University so pet care can fit into my weekly routine after my classes are over which is usually around mid day. Pet care can also fit into my weekly routine when I am not working at my part time job. In my clients home I will make sure I have an eye on the pet at all times and make sure they get everything they need. While also making sure they have a fun time with extra snuggles!
“Debra took exceptional care of our babies just like they were her own. When we came home they were so relaxed which is everything we hope for when we have to leave them. Thank you!!”
About: I have three dogs of my own back at home, all boys, two small and one big, and they truly are my babies. I have always loved being around dogs and giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and company instead of just being left alone. I treat every dog like they are my own and want them to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Honestly, I have always said I love dogs more than people! I’m currently a second-year business marketing student at West Chester University. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the week. I have classes Monday through Thursday. Outside of class, I’m flexible and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs! I’ve always loved caring for dogs and currently have three of my own, two small boys and one big boy who are truly my babies! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with their everyday needs, including walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, care, and love that I give my own.
About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah. Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. This background gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and taught me the responsibility it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. I love connecting with animals of all shapes and sizes, and I bring that dedicated, farm-raised work ethic to every pet I watch. It fits in with the care that I provide for my pet. Strict feedings schedules, walks, attention, bathroom breaks and being aware of how a pet is acting. Respect for the clients' rules about how they want their pet cared for and respect for their personal space. Also, making sure animals get along.

“Maurisa did a great job with my dog! She sent lots of great photos, which I really appreciated. I could tell he was being pampered and was clearly enjoying himself. She was also incredibly flexible and followed all the silly instructions overprotective dog moms have. I can't imagine a better person to care for my pup.”

Hailey was great! She was very responsive and kept us updated on our pup throughout the entire stay. We felt comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Hailey and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Claudia was great. She stayed with our Westie over a long weekend when we were away. She has a lovely personality and was a pleasure to work with from the initial contact through a meet-and-greet and then the weekend. She was punctual, paid close attention to information about our dog's routine, asked good questions, and kept us informed. We returned to a tidy house and a happy pup. Highly recommend.
Lila was great! She stayed at our house with our 3 dogs for about a week while we were away. The dogs were well taken care of. We have an elderly dog with mobility issues and Lila was able to help her get up. She left the house very tidy and even offered to do drop in visits after our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. Will use again!

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 , 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.
