About: My name is Mari! I do this part time! I absolutely love animals! I live in the Delco/Upper Darby area. I will take great care of your fur baby! I enjoy walking my dog Piper, spending time in nature, and reading. I am the go to friend for house sitting or baby sitting of my family and friends animals. I really enjoy animals and believe they are the best therapy for everyone . I currently have a day job as an IT Analyst and work remotely, so I’m really flexible with hours for dog walking, baby sitting, and spending time with your furry friend! I cherish my four year old Labradoodle Piper, and she loves meeting new friends as well. Have a great day! Mari
About: I’ve had two of my own dogs and fostered 4 puppies. I’m definitely a hands off kind of sitter, i let the dog come to me on their own terms. I have had high and low energy dogs and enjoy both. I adore dogs and need them in my life but i don’t want to my own right now. Your dog helps me keep my day moving. I have a door to the patio outside of my office/bedroom. The only issue would be dogs who can’t do stairs. We have a pee spot in the patio if it’s really bad weather.
About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. Nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with a pet. If the owner can't be around once in a while there is no need for the dog to be lonely. That is why I make the perfect dog sitter, I treat each dog like my very own pet. I care for them and their individual needs the way I would hope someone would care for my dog if I weren't around. My profession includes making my own schedule which allows me the flexibility to care for pets in their owners absence. I try to keep my radius small so that I can stop by every couple of hours for a potty break and some time outside or for some snuggles. I have a dog and cat of my own and take their care very seriously. Both get an abundance of love and snuggles. Our dog goes out multiple times a day- while we don't have a fenced in yard we do have a lot of space and availability for walks at the park a block away.
“Gioia was a joy to work with. She was incredibly accommodating, gentle and patient with our behaviorally-needy dog and with our medically-needy dog! She left our home clean and organized and was very communicative and professional. It’s clear our pets have started to look forward to her visits.”
“Margo was such a good sitter. She came and met my pup the day before since they hadn’t met before. Took the time to ask all the questions on his habits, schedule, and medications. Even though I needed her pretty early in the morning she had no problems with being on time. The videos and pics throughout the day was a very nice touch.”
“Above and beyond! This was our first time away without our two dogs and from our first interaction through the trip, Chelsea and John were amazing! Our pups immediately took to them and enjoyed the attention, walks, and love they received while we were away. Great communication, updates, and all-around and genuine pleasure! We know the next time we go away our pups will be in loving hands!”
“Autumn did an excellent job watching my boy Tank! He can be a handful sometimes but I could tell he was in great hands with every photo she sent! He was definitely a happy boy when I came home! I will not hesitate to contact Autumn again when I need a sitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Giana, and I’ve always loved animals. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including large and small dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, crate routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I work full time, but I’m available on my days off (Monday and Thursday) with more flexibility. On my work days, I’m available before 12 PM to provide care, attention, and support for your fur babies. I care for my pets by providing daily meals, fresh water, exercise, love, and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every day.
“Lisa was amazing with Panda! I booked her with less than a week’s notice, and she was incredibly responsive and professional from the start. She took the time to do both a virtual meet-and-greet and an in-person visit beforehand to make sure she and Panda were a good fit and that she was familiar with everything. During the sitting, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She also made sure Panda got plenty of activity, taking him on at least three walks. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter—I’d definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“Berrangere was an incredible sitter to my dog. She was responsive and even arrived early to our meet and greet which I really appreciated. My doggo was happy and was comfortable with Berrangere. Thank you so much! I will be booking with you again! Best, Diamond G.”
“Jianee was absolutely amazing with our four dogs! It’s not easy taking care of four dogs at once, but Jianee handled everything with so much patience, care, and genuine love for each of them. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, dependable, and treated our dogs like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing that they were getting plenty of love and attention. We came home to four happy, well-cared-for dogs, and that says everything! Jianee went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Kathy knows dogs and people. She is easy to work with and put our family at ease about leaving. We recently got our dog as a rescue, and she's very nervous around new people, so I was worried about leaving her for a week. But Kathy spent an hour walking her and getting to know her once a week for the three weeks prior to her stay so that our dog would be comfortable. She clearly loves dogs and was dedicated to being here all day with the dog while we were away (not in an out for other work or errands etc). She took our dog out for multiple walks each day and played with her in the yard. She seny us twice a day pictures and updates. To top it off, our house was spotless when we returned (cleaner than we left it!).”
“So far Elizabeth has done a quick overnight with my 2 dogs but I plan on using her again. She was super sweet and very communicative through the whole process. She sent a bunch of pictures and gave me updates at mealtimes and walks. She was very understanding that my one dog is wary with strangers and was great with him. Definitely using again!”
“Nate was absolutely fantastic! He communicated well, respected our home. He was fantastic with Holly even working on some training while we were away. We are so thankful that he was able to watch Holly! He is top notch and any dog would be lucky to have him to hang out with! He sent photos and videos often and he was really just great overall. Highly highly recommend.”

Callie was fantastic! She was a great communicator, took amazing care of our pups, and left our home immaculate. She spent lots of time with them and made everyone feel comfortable and happy while we were away. Our pups were all so content when we got home. We will absolutely use her again!!! Thanks so much for everything!!!
Krystal stayed at my home with my 2 dogs for eight nights while we were away. One dog has anxious tendencies and the other is epileptic and requires twice daily medication. Krystal was able to not only accommodate their needs, but recognized their little quirks and adjusted to make them each more comfortable. She kept our place tidy, was in frequent communication, and responded promptly.
We set up house sitting for our incredibly sweet, but anxious, mini goldendoodle (Myles) back in March for our July vacation. We wanted to establish a relationship very early on, so when it was time for vacation, Myles would be comfortable and less anxious. Unfortunately, our sitter canceled a week before vacation, basically negating our ability to get Myles comfortable before we left. Backs against the wall, we had to take a huge leap of faith and look into other arrangements, now with virtually no lead-up time to getting Myles acclimated. Benjamin came by way of referral and was only available to take Myles in during our vacation, which was a departure from our plan to have someone come to our home to watch Myles, but given the circumstances, we decided to schedule the meet and greet to see how things would go. During the meet and greet at Ben's home, it was apparent he was special; personable, easy-going, patient, welcoming. It was also clear Myles would have plenty of room to roam and play. Myles was unsurprisingly anxious, but Ben was confident Myles would eventually fit right in with his family and his dogs, one of which is also a goldendoodle! After leaving the meet and greet, we felt optimistic. As expected, at drop-off, Myles was a bit anxious. Ben sent us lots of videos, pics, and updates to show us how things were going. Within an hour or so after dropping off Myles, he started to warm up, and over the next few days, it was clear Myles was fitting right in with, not just Ben, but his dogs, too! Getting daily updates with new pics and videos was such a treat and something we looked forward to while we were away, and Ben never disapointed! When we picked Myles up after vacation, he looked happy and healthy. We have no complaints. We will be sure to use Ben going forward. We felt our fur baby was having his own vacation with Ben while we were away! We couldn't have asked for anything more; simply put, Ben is the best!
We cannot thank Chelsea and John enough for taking such good care of our cats! We are grateful for the love, attention and care they showed our pets during an overseas vacation. Their communications alleviated any anxieties we might have had about leaving our furry friends behind and allowed us to enjoy out trip to the max.
I cannot say enough good things about Maia. You can tell when a person truly loves animals and our dog knew from the start that Maia is one of those people. She has been amazing with our senior dog. She takes special care to ensure that she is not over-exercised or left outside in extreme weather. When she watched our girl during a blizzard, she even shoveled a pathway in the snow so that Pandora could get outside to do potty. I always get lots of pictures and updates. Maia is a true gem and I highly recommend her.
Olivia is great! She took such good care of our two dogs while we went away for a long weekend and followed our instructions carefully. She is also very respectful of our home and left it neat and orderly. She even left the tv on for our dogs when she left. Olivia is very responsive and replied to my messages within minutes—sometimes seconds. We would highly recommend Olivia and would definitely have her take care of our dogs again.
Robyn was one of the best sitters we’ve had! She was super attentive and responsive to our pups needs. We have a very anxious pup, that Robyn knew how to manage and gave the time and space to get comfortable. She managed our older dog with ease and much love! We highly recommend Robyn to anyone that needs a responsible, caring and knowledgeable caregiver!
Opeyemi did a wonderful job taking care of our multi pet household. He was very intentional about asking questions and clarifying instructions before we left, gave us frequent, detailed updates and left the house near and clean. We will definitely rebook with him!

The average cost of House Sitting in Prospect Park is $117 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $128 per night.

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 Prospect Park 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 Prospect Park 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 Prospect Park 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prospect Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
