“This duo is where it’s at! They were amazing with my poocho, Sven- and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with him in their care. I received photo updates and you can just tell they have a strong love for animals ♥️ I really appreciated their help with such short notice and taking wonderful care of my boy. Thanks again guys!!”
“Lindsay was great! She sent daily updates and photos of our dogs and took great care of them while we were away. Our dogs seemed to love her! She also left our house nice and clean. We would definitely use Lindsay again next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Thank you Lindsay!”
About: I’ve been taking care of fur babies for about 5 years! I’m new to the rover community but want to expand my love for animals! I am comfortable around all dogs/cats and am willing to learn how to best fulfill your pets needs! When I come to take care of your four legged buddy, I promise to dedicate my time to nurture, adore, and create enjoyable experiences for them. My roommates have two pups - an English cream retriever named Soph and a chocolate lab named Tucker who are equal parts sweet as they are energetic! I’m currently working full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! My typical working hours are 8:45-4:30 M-F! I am also flexible and can accommodate last minute bookings! When in your home, I would love to create a nurturing and playful environment for your fur babies as well as continue your daily routine to keep your furry one as comfortable and happy as possible!
“Alyssa was an amazing sitter. She communicated the entire time and even alerted me to when one of my animals became ill. She was very responsible, clean, and communicative. Definitely will continue to use her services.”
“Ion was prompt and attentive to detail. He stayed with our Lou and made sure he received lots of attention and his walks. He is polite and friendly and left our house clean. We were very happy with the care Ion gave Louie and will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone.”
“Thomas W. was an excellent pet and house sitter. We would definitely use him again. Our house was in good shape and the dog was fine. He sent pictures every day so we were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry.”
“Arianna was absolutely wonderful and my dogs were very comfortable with her, even my nervous old man border collie. She stayed in regular contact and I got lots of photos. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Billie was excellent! We received daily updates and pictures of both dogs, Charlie and Lily. This was the first time we used Rover and we will reach out to Billie again. It's great knowing the dogs have their normal routine and the house is being watched over. Both Lily and Charlie were excited to see us, yet we knew they were perfectly fine and cared for while we were gone. Thanks again, Billie!”
“Rachael is fantastic. We used her twice to look after our pup Sadie while we were out of town! She is reliable and trustworthy and we will definitely use her again for future bookings.”
“This is Madeline’s second stay with my critters (2 dogs, 2 cats) and everything went wonderfully. She is very responsive, and sends many photos and updates. In addition to taking such wonderful care of my babies, she left my house spotless. We can’t wait for her to come stay again!! Thank you Madeline!”
“Annabelle is awesome! She took great care of my pup, giving her plenty of attention and playtime. Going to be reaching out to her in the future when I need care for my Maeve. Would recommend.”
“Sara was a great communicator & took great care of our pup, Bodhi! I worry a lot about him, and she listened to all my concerns and took all precautions to keep him safe & healthy. i was able to relax while away! she also left the house nice, would for sure recommend!”
About: I have grown up with many different dogs in my life! I have had small, medium, and large dogs that all vary in energy levels. Most of my dogs have been senior dogs so I’m very well versed in how to take care of the older ones! I’ve had to move out away from my pets so I’m very sad to not take care of any of them right now but that makes me more excited to take care of ones that need it. I am a student so I will be gone for a couple hours during the day but my mornings and nights are completely free! I will also be able to stop by after class to check on your pets! The pets in my home get a lot of love and comfort. Most times the dogs in my house get snacks throughout the day and one full meal at night, but whatever your specific dogs needs are I can fulfill. My dogs are very energetic so I am accustomed to going for long walks at least once a day.
“Ace was fantastic and Rocky loved her. She was very attentive and took exceptional care of our home. She provided pics and communication throughout and we are very happy with her.”
“Caleb was excellent! He communicated very well about things that needed to be addressed with our dog and around the house. He also came up with new ways to get our dog to behave on walks!”
“The best petsitting experience. Kate was so flexible with our last-minute booking and other changes and so kind. She sent updates and took great care of not only our pets but our home. Will be rebooking when we need her!!”

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.
Angie was absolutely wonderful with our dog! We came home to a happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for dog and home! We appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay — it gave us such peace of mind. Would definitely book with Angie again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Roxborough Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Roxborough Park on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,857 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roxborough Park. 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 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 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.

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.
