“Jeff was fantastic! This was my first experience using Rover and it was as good as it could possibly be! I needed someone very short notice to stay with my dog overnight and Jeff was available. He and my dog bonded immediately. He sent pictures throughout his stay of her taking walks with him and napping. I will definitely be using Jeff again and highly recommend him! Thanks Jeff!”
“Liddy is absolutely phenomenal. This was my second time using her to care for my elderly cat and my dog. She does a great job with all of their medications and supplements. She communicates extremely well so I never have to worry. I highly recommend her!”
“Wonderful Pet Sitters for Bodhi! ❤️🐾 We have had many pet sitters care for Bodhi over the years, and Ayla and Han were absolutely wonderful pet sitters for him! I can truly say they exceeded our expectations. They cared for Bodhi for 8 days while we were away on a family trip. Bodhi was so well cared for and felt comfortable with them from the very beginning. Every morning, they sent us an update along with pictures of Bodhi, which gave us such peace of mind and made being away from him so much easier. We truly can’t say enough about how pleased we were with the two of them. If you are searching for the right people to care for your pet, we highly recommend Ayla and Han. They were kind, responsible, thoughtful, and took such wonderful care of Bodhi. We feel very fortunate to have found them and would absolutely have them care for Bodhi again! ❤️🐶”
“Michelle was a great dog / house sitter! She was very accommodating with our schedule for a meet and greet and did a wonderful job with the dogs while we were out of town. She was able to handle some medication requirements that came up last minute for one of our dogs and gave us regular updates throughout! Our dogs seemed very happy with her and she took great care of the house.”
“First time hiring Matthew because our usual pet sitter wasn’t available. Animals seemed comfortable and happy when coming home. House was left in perfect condition. We would trust him again and would highly recommend.”
“I can’t thank Deborah enough for the amazing care and love she gave our dog. Her communication was great, she gave lots of updates that put us at ease while away from our pup. Can’t wait to use her again in the future, and I know our dog will be so happy to see her!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life growing up and now that they’ve moved I want to help other dogs play and enjoy their lives. I take my friends dog on runs and I’m looking to make extra money having fun with furry friends. I currently work full-time but I’m off at 5. I have an open schedule usually after work to take care of your pets. I also do not work weekends, so I’m available then. As I do offer pets in my home and while in a clients home I will always be watching them and teaching new tricks if that is allowed. While the pet is outside I will always have my eyes on them and inside as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child and have had many pets of my own as an adult. Trained 1 lab puppy and 2 rescue dogs. With past and current dogs I have walked them, feed them, given them any meds they may need, as well as bathed and groomed them, Currently work from home 2 days a week and can check on them before work, or in the evenings. Can goto your house and check on them. Currently have a home with my fur baby that I take out on walks in the morning and evenings. Can be home with them at your house.
“We just got back from 8 nights away while Shaylyn watched our crew of two cats and two dogs. There were a variety of needs, directions and personalities, but everything went super smooth and we came home to everything just as we left it. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Shaylyn!”
“Lis did an amazing job. We received photos and updates daily. The house was kept super clean and the animals seemed to be fully relaxed and loved upon returning. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had animals all my life, and started dog sitting for others I was 16. I love to build genuine relationships with your pets and care for your home as needed while you are away. I’m currently a full-time college student, but I’m only on campus two days a week, leaving me with a very open and flexible schedule. I’m excited to spend that extra time caring for your pets and giving them all the love and attention they need! I can easily crate the dog, take them on walks, feed them, let them out, give them medicine, and would just need instruction if your pet require any extra care.
“She helped watch out our pups at our wedding. She was awesome! Very attentive and took time to bond with our dogs, her experience with pets shows. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Book her!”
“Hannah was great with my rescue, Tessa. She sent me multiple pictures while I was away for almost 2 weeks. It was clear Tessa was happy. Hannah had obviously earned Tessa’s trust and they had bonded. I also appreciated coming home to a house that was clean and tidy. I highly recommend Hannah for dog sitting. I’ve already got her coming to spend time with Tessa again. 5+ stars.”
About: I have always been the pet sitter and walker in my family and neighborhood since I was 8. My family and friends call me the dog whisperer. I have had a love for animals my whole life. I am working about 20 hours a week at my job during the winter and 30-40 during the summer . I work no more than 8 hour shifts. I have a fenced in back yard with 3 furry friends . My dogs don’t use kennels but I can kennel your dog if required. My pets get walked daily and lots of play and cuddle time.
“Kalea made us feel so comfortable while we were traveling! She provided frequent updates with pictures and followed a very detailed list of ways to care for our senior pup. She's also one of the few pet sitters that did great with our dog and cat. Couldn't be happier with her service!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roxborough Park
This was another wonderful experience booking Polly and Jeremy. They consistently provide truly exceptional care, and we feel completely at ease whenever our dog is in their hands. As usual, they were fantastic, but we especially appreciate how incredibly attentive they are to our senior dog. Managing his regimen of several daily medications can be challenging, but Polly and Jeremy handle it with professional competence and a level of dedication that is truly comforting. It’s rare to find sitters who are so reliable and genuinely caring, and we highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Roxborough Park is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Roxborough 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 Roxborough 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 Roxborough 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.

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.
