“Kyle really came through for my girls and I in a pinch. Their regular sitter was not available for a weekend beach trip I had planned and we put our trust in another awesome human. He showed up for a meet and greet and my spicy, anxious ridden rescue took to him fairly quickly. We were all happy he was able to stay overnight. My girls usually dont do well with being left alone more than one night. I had updates when I needed and I came home to my place the way I left it. Would definitely use Kyle again.”

“Julie was so responsive and came to meet my Hugo before we booked. Every dog has their idiocies so it was great to pass along this information to her ahead of time, making Hugo and her experience at my home the best it could be on such a short notice. It was also very apparent she knew how to handle dogs and had a good amount of experience. I got lots of updates and pictures and I never worried once while we were away. It was such a last minute need and I’m so grateful she was able and willing to accommodate. On a side note- I had a ton of packages that happened to be delivered on Friday and Saturday and she so graciously brought them in and stacked them in our front room. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. You won’t be disappointed”

“Charlotte did a great job sitting our pup in our home! She provided updates throughout the day and kept Jackson busy and out of trouble :) Highly responsive and professional. Would definitely recommend caring for your pet!”


About: Hello! I am Abigail, I am currently a respiratory therapy student at RACC, and I am 22. While I have never professionally worked with animals before, my family has always had multiple pets in our house. I grew up with dogs, birds, and cats at home. While I don't have professional experience with animals, I currently work in healthcare. I offer both house sitting and dog walking services. For house sitting, I am mostly available 7 days/nights a week unless I am out of town. For dog walking, I am available Mon/Wed/Fri 7am-1:30pm and Tues/Thurs/Sun 7am-8pm. Available some Saturdays upon request. I am working part-time while I am in school so I will have plenty of time to play and take car of your pets during the summer! I am available more nights for overnight boarding and most mornings and some afternoons for walking. I have reliable transportation to client's houses. I think communication is very important, so I will always provide you with regular updates about your pet's well-being. I am also currently working on getting my BLS/CPR certification.
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.
About: I have experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes (and also rabbits and cats). Im willing to walk, play, train and just be there for your fur baby. I also have experience with deaf dogs and am comfortable giving medication if needed. Im currently a self employed travel and nature photographer which gives me the ability to have the time and flexibility to work with your petcare needs. I have a large fenced in yard to exercise your pets in if needed. My favorite thing is going on long walks as well as off leash play and enrichment time.
“Dustin walks my dog daily, and this was his first time watching him at my place. He did an incredible job and is super flexible and easy to work with. My (giant) dog loves him, and he took great care of the place. Highly recommend.”

“We are so happy we found Katie :) Our dogs loved her upon the initial meet and greet and she sent great pictures of all the animals looking relaxed and happy during the booked weekend overnight stay. We came back to everything in place and super clean! Will definitely book Katie again!”

About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.
About: I have had dogs most of my life and I currently have 2 dogs. I love ALL animals and dogs will always put a smile on my face. I love spending time with dogs and playing with them, taking them to the dog park, regular park on a regular basis. I have some training background and I am very loving and friendly to all animals. I mostly work from home with a flexible position. My normal hours are 7am-4pm, but I can break away during the day and do dog walking when needed. I live in a 2 bedroom house with a small yard for my dogs. I am constantly taking my dogs to the dog park and regular parks for them to interact with other dogs and humans. I like taking them to the regular parks and woods so they can do their sniffing and taske in all of the scents from nature, which they seem to like better than the dog parks. If allowed, I would provide the same experience for your dogs. If house sitting, I would engage in playful and mind stimulating tasks to keep the dogs engaged. I can engage in different activities, depending on the dogs needs. Some dogs like to play and run, some like to be mentally stimulated by finding things or doing dog puzzles.
About: I have had pets all of my life and have taken care of both dogs and cats! I love ALL breeds and will love your animals just as much as you do! I am comfortable walking dogs, caring for cats, cleaning up messes from pets, feeding, and any of your animals needs! I have had experience with caring for sick pets. I am currently finishing up my residency and will soon be in fellowship as a psychologist. Therefore, I have some breaks in the schedule during the week that would fit perfectly to care for a fuzzy friend! In your home I can crate your animal if necessary, feed, walk, play with, clean up after, and give so much love to your animal(s)!
About: I have had dogs all for all of my life, and I have been pet sitting for 8 years. I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I work a full-time but flexible position that allows me to maintain a dependable schedule for pet care. Because I do not work weekends or most holidays, I’m able to dedicate extra time and attention to the pets in my care during those periods. I’m also available for overnight stays throughout the week, ensuring your pets can remain comfortable and cared for in their own home. I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pets’ routines as consistent and stress free as possible. I provide calm, reliable care so your dogs can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I make sure each pet gets personalized attention, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication administration if needed.

My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and weekend care.

“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
“Tim did a great job staying overnight two nights caring for our pit bull mix and our cat. He provided updates and photos and our pets were happy when we arrived home. We highly recommend him!”

“Abby was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly detailed and communicative throughout the entire stay, which made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them and their routines. She was always prompt, reliable, and honestly felt more like a friend than just a pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pottstown
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!

Tara raises the bar for pet sitting! She took such good care of our pets and our home while we were away, and was really communicative during our trip. My dog has a nervous personality but she took to Tara right away, and was so calm and happy when we got back. Looking forward to booking her again!

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.

Betty is a gem!! She stayed at the house and cared for my three babies and it was such a relief to know someone so wonderful was taking care of them. Betty sent pictures several times a day, and transported them to their scheduled daycare days, which was above and beyond. I just got home and my dogs are in great spirits! I’m not sure they even wanted me to come home; they were spoiled rotten by Betty! ❤️

Julie was so responsive and came to meet my Hugo before we booked. Every dog has their idiocies so it was great to pass along this information to her ahead of time, making Hugo and her experience at my home the best it could be on such a short notice.

Ariel was perfectly professional throughout correspondence and took good care of our home during the housesitting stay. She sent updates daily which included photos so we knew the pups were keeping happy and healthy. I would recommend this sitter to other pet owners. Thank you Ariel!

Charlotte does a great job with Jackson. She sends lots of updates which makes us feels at ease. We know he is in good hands. Charlotte came over a day before the booking to meet with us and go over the care instructions. We have a puppy in training and she was happy to use the training techniques during her stay. She is very responsible and we highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pottstown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pottstown on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,134 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pottstown. 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 Pottstown 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 Pottstown 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 Pottstown 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 Pottstown. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
