About: I grew up on a farm so lots of experience with taking care of a variety of animals at a large scale with different ages, needs, etc. I started pet and farm sitting around 13 years ago and have had animals on my own my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, one of the dogs being fear reactive so also comfortable with working with reactivity in dogs (I have the avoid and get space from triggers down to a science). I also grew up with a dog that experienced rage syndrome and overall have experienced with dogs that have behavioral concerns. I currently work from home on a Monday through Thursday schedule so primarily available in the evenings or Friday through Sunday. I do have the ability to work from other locations if needed for overnight pet sitting. I am very adaptable to your pets needs, whether it’s setting up puzzles, monitoring chews, administering medications, or crate training. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and fulfilled while you’re not home.
About: Lifelong animal caretaker with 4+ years being completed in dog daycare/boarding/rescue, plus hands-on doodle grooming experience. Experienced caring for animals of all shapes, temperaments and breeds including: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and Guinea pigs. Received training in dog behaviors and animal CPR and first aid. My schedule is currently very flexible, with open availability Monday through Friday and weekends as needed. I’m happy to work full-time or part-time and coordinate with each family’s schedule and care needs. I do reserve two days off each week to recharge and have a few planned trips throughout the year. I provide a calm, loving home environment where I care for only 1–2 dogs at a time, and they must be from the same family. Dogs must be house-trained and comfortable in a carpeted family home. Dogs stay exclusively on the first floor, with no stairs to navigate, making the space comfortable for dogs with limited mobility. There are comfortable dog beds throughout the living room, along with plenty of space to relax. We’re located in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac with a large, unfenced yard. Dogs are always supervised outside and use a long lead for safety. Depending on their comfort level and needs, we can enjoy walks on the nearby Hogback Trail or explore the Roxborough area. If your dog prefers to stay home, we’re happy to keep things cozy with plenty of indoor time. Fresh water is always available, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding schedule and administer medications as needed. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible.
“Arianna did great watching our two dogs and staying at our house for a couple of nights. She did exactly what we asked of her and was very communicative. Sending photos and updates.”
“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!”
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.
“This was the second time we had Clay watch our pup. Everything went very smoothly and we had no concerns knowing our dog was in good hands. Clay is very communicative and sent us daily updates and pictures. He is our go to for any dog watching needs.”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“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!”
“Nathan was wonderful with our pup Bruno! It was our first time taking a trip since we moved to Colorado a few months ago so we were nervous leaving Bruno but Nathan shared photos everyday showing how happy he was. Nathan was also very responsive when we first reached out to him on Rover. Most importantly, when we were worried we may not make our connecting flight for our international flight back, he was open to waiting to see if we made the connection and willing to stay another night if needed (fortunately we didn't). We came back to a calm Bruno with relaxing dog videos with classical music softly playing on the tv (and a spotless apartment). Thank you, Nathan!”
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.
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
About: I am a very loving, warm-hearted person that will always provide the love and care that your dogs will need. I have owned labradoodles for 8 years and they are the most energetic though adorable things to care for. I had wanted a dog for the entirety of my childhood, but didn’t first get one until I was in high school. Ever since then I think I’ve found a special bond with most dogs I interact with today, and I love seeing as many as I can because they are all beautiful. I always make sure my dogs are fed, worn out, and taken care of. I can assure that I will care and love the same for your dog(s) because I would treat them like my own. I'm currently in school but will have plenty of time to take care of your pups outside of my studies! I'm available to house sit most days and drop ins everyday if you can work with my school schedule. I will make sure they are fed, walked, water full, and plenty played with. I pride myself on my compassion and love for animals, so you can trust they will be in good hands.
“Kasey is our go to sitter for Cody. She is responsive, caring and attentive, and provides frequent updates to ease our worries. When we got home late at night, our boy had gotten a bath and even had pajamas on ready for bedtime snuggles! She provides nothing short of exceptional care and compassion for our boy and we couldn’t be more at ease with leaving Cody behind in her care.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Roxborough Park is $55
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
