“We found a gem in Tara! She stayed at our home and took excellent care of our furry family members. Tara was very respectful of our house and provided wonderful care for our fur babies. We look forward to having her back for future sittings.”
“Andrew took very good care of my fur babies! He was courteous, caring and communicative! I had no worries with leaving Scooch and Tank in his knowledgeable care. My senior pup has mobility issues and it was great knowing he was in very good hands!”
“Pam was absolutely amazing!! She provided us with frequent updates about our pets and how they were doing. She also sent us pictures. She went above and beyond and we came home from vacation to a very clean house, thanks to her! It was nice to have trust in Pam to care for our pets so we could absolutely relax on vacation. 10/10!!”
“Paige has house sat for our animals twice now, and she has been fantastic! The communication and care she gives them has always been a huge relief when we go away on trips.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of all types of pets and animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have obtained more skills in my professional career as a veterinary technician. I can do anything from feeding, walking, bathing, administering medications of all kinds, senior care, puppy care, and everything else under the sun! I’m currently taking a break from my professional career as a veterinary technician so I will be at home all day for at least 5 days a week. I have 4 dogs of my own and a 6 year old step daughter half the time that I care for as well. All animals in the home are pet friendly. I have a small area of fenced in yard with 10 acres of open land. The dogs always love a new play mate!
About: We have lots of experience with dogs, cats and many other types of animals! Large property with room to run, we have several horses and goats on site. Family care in our home (with children). Experience working as a vet tech including first aid, animal grooming, training and behavior, and as an animal chiropractor for ~15 years. We do have a kennel license through the state and as such, we require a copy of your current rabies vaccine and dog license (easy to do and only about $12 online!). Question on this? Just ask! We have several older children who help out with daily care, walks, and feeding. One parent is stay at home and the other parent works flexible hours. We have a large house for dogs to roam and play throughout the day. Sleeping can be in a kennel or snuggled with us in bed--whatevert you prefer. Large outdoor spaces to roam and we love to take walks in the neighborhood.
“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”
“Angelina was fantastic!! She was the perfect sitter to watch our dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She was very communicative and my dogs loved her. She left our home spotless, dogs well fed, and checked in with us frequently. Could not recommend her enough!!”
“Makinzie was great! She was willing to help with an overnight weekend stay on really short notice. She took great care of my dog and was very communicative throughout. Would recommend and will book again.”
“Olivia arrived on time and did a wonderful job of taking care of the house and our dogs. Our 7-month-old pup can be a bit of a handful with high energy level at that age. Olivia was able to make sure both dogs were happy, well taken care, of and got plenty of exercise. We look forward to being able to have Olivia help us out again for future weekends away.”

I work from home Mondays & Fridays and available for walks and to play! Tue,Wed,Thur availability 5:30 and after. Saturdays and Sundays all day availability. I have a backyard. A 1 year old puppy named Luke. All attention would be given to the dog. Single family house with only my fiancè and I living here. We love dogs!
“Sarah made sure that all of our pets were taken care of and received tons of love and attention while we were away. She is also experienced with caring for rabbits so I knew that our bunny was in good hands and would be able to exercise his legs. I highly recommend her and will be booking her for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I’d love to care for your pets as I would my own! I understand the importance of a reliable, quality pet sitter because I use Rover frequently myself for my dogs, who require extra care. I have three dogs of my own: • Riley – a 12-year-old Beagle (I help manage her lymphoma medication) • Penelope – an 8-year-old Aussie mix (I cared for her after recent knee surgery) • Nyx – a 3-year-old Border Collie mix (I help manage his separation anxiety) I work full time during the week , but am available on the weekends for drop in visits and walks. Day of requests are welcome! I may be available for some weekday drop ins after 5pm if you live near by , so feel free to message me! I am happy to care for your pets as instructed. I am certified in Cat and Dog first aid, and have experience administering medication if needed.

About: I’ve always had 3 dogs in the house growing up & now 2 of my own & volunteered at the SPCA for 2 1/2 years I’m currently working FT Monday through Friday 7am-3:30pm. I go straight home to tend to my two dogs afterwards and would be free by 4pm. Saturdays & Sundays I am off and would love to care for your pets when needed.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was 14 years old and have spent years helping care for my own pets as well as family pets. In addition to dogs, I currently care for my own cats and have experience looking after a coworker’s two long-haired cats and a friend’s two cats while they were away. I offer drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water refills, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available after 5:00 PM for visits, walks, and pet care. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to caring for your pets. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your furry family members. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I will ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and that their environment stays clean and safe. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care that both pets and owners can feel good about. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I work full time during the weekdays, but I’m available after 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate even more time to caring for pets and sticking to their normal routines. Since I’m already a pet owner myself, caring for animals is naturally part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide reliable care, communication, and plenty of affection. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all instructions exactly as given, including feeding routines, litter box or potty breaks, medication needs, and any specific care preferences. I also make sure to keep things clean and tidy, and I always double-check doors, gates, and anything needed to keep pets secure. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to learn their behavior, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re gone.
About: I’ve taken care of all my family’s dogs and pets since I was old enough to be responsible (so probably since I was about 13 or 14). Dogs have been in my life since I was a baby. I grew up with having at least more than one dog in my house hold. They hold a special place in my heart, and I just want to help others when needed and know they can trust me to be the dog loving girl I am! 🐾 I currently work so I have about 2-3 days off a week. On my working days i’m done by 4:30pm so i’m available after my shifts as well. Will keep my calendar updated every week! I have a Japanese Chin myself I have a big yard for her to run around in on her leash, but I also have a little gated in area for dogs to chill and relax or play in the yard unleashed (depending on size). But either way my yard is big enough for me to walk them around in or run around and play with them. I also have a 2 bedroom house in perkiomenville which is kind of like a farmland area. Very peaceful and relaxing area. When caring for others pets in their homes I like to do whatever the owner would like me to if they have a routine that’s great. I also would give them all the attention and energy they could want!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pottsgrove
Tara came to meet her, Elyza took to her right away. Tara stayed at my house overnight for 11 nights, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Tara sent me pictures every day, which I really appreciated. I never once had to worry about whether Elyza was being well cared for and receiving all the love and attention she deserved. Knowing Elyza was in such good hands made being away from her so much easier! I would definitely ask Tara to care for Elyza again. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my girl, and I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and responsible pet sitter!
Jacquelyn was amazing ! She was very caring and flexible when our plans are changed. Our girls million Tessie loved playing with her outside in the yard and she made them feel very comfortable as well as made us feel very comfortable while she was staying in our home. I would 100% recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter.
Betty was amazing with our pack. She sent daily updates and pictures, took care of the house, and cleaned so we wouldn’t have to do anything when we got home. I appreciate knowing that our babies were with someone so caring and attentive and I hope that she will be our sitter for any future trip we need to go on.
We had an excellent experience with Grace! She stayed at our home with Kobe for 4 nights. From the start, she clearly cared about my dog's well-being. Grace even came to visit and meet Kobe prior to our trip; upon our request, because we do not regularly leave him except with family. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. My dog was happy, well-exercised, and comfortable when I returned home. (and our house was spotless!) Grace followed all care instructions and went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with Grace again in the future!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pottsgrove is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $64 and $111 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Pottsgrove 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 Pottsgrove 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 Pottsgrove 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.
