“Angelica was amazing! She watched over our dog, Polly, for several days and treated her with such care. Angelica was very communicative and shared lots of photos which we loved. We’d absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Robert was very attentive to our dog. He took him on walks and spent a lot of time hanging out with him. He kept us updated throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. We were very happy with him. I would highly recommend him and will use him again!”
“Such a wonderful experience for us and our dogs, we are so glad Wendy was able to help our family. Our senior dogs were much better off in their own environment and we had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Wendy stayed over for 2 nights, brought treats, toys, puzzles, and took care of them like they were her own. We will definitely have Wendy back to watch them during our next trip away from home.”
“Dawn is awesome. She took great care of our two Yorkies. One of them is quite anxious and he loved her. She is kind and patient and the dogs definitely can sense her great energy!”
“Alyssa was wonderful! Will use her again! This was my first experience with having a dog sitter and through this site! Would highly recommend! Alyssa came prior to our vacation and met us and lady. Super sweet girl! During our trip she kept in contact since she knew I was nervous and sent lots of pictures! Thank you again Alyssa!”
About: I have been dogsitting since I was about 14 years old for my neighbors, and in adulthood have become the go-to dogsitter for many of my friends. While I am not at a point in my life to have a dog of my own, I absolutely love them and have experience caring for my family dog, which is why people trust me with their babies. This started as an opportunity to get some much-needed dog time, but I have turned it into a side hustle as well! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule can be very flexible including morning, day, and night time hours. I am originally from Hatboro, PA and will be moving back there from Chicago in July. I am available beginning July 14th. I will take care of your dog or cat as if they are my own. The main reason I began pet sitting is because I love them so much, but I’m not in at a point in my life to take on having one on my own. I have extensive experience with walking and in-house sitting dating back 15 years.
About: I have been caring for and loving cats and dogs for over 20 years… I have experienced all sizes and breeds of both dogs and cats. I have a very caring and loving personality and it never takes long for even the shyest of animals to warm up to me. I work a full-time job from 7 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday so my weekends are usually caring for the things I love most… Animals. It has always been and always will be my favorite past time. I have pet set for all different types with very strict rules and I always take notes and follow instructions down to a science. I love to send pictures and videos to the pet parents just so that they know how cared for and loved their animal is while they’re away.
“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Erica is amazing! She took such great, loving care of my lab!!!! she sent many pictures and updates and I could see how happy my dog was! I travel a lot for work so this gave a great peace of mind! i highly recommend her!!!!!”
About: I have been volunteering in a local animal shelter for about 6 months and after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh I am looking to commit more time to helping out the people and pets in my community! In the shelter I helped admitted lost animals and I have experience walking and taking dogs out for field trips. During field trips I would walk dogs through frick park, relax on my porch, and take them to get a pup cup! I loved being able to help out the dogs and give them the love they deserve! I have passed the Fear Free shelter program and have experience with dog walking as well as caring for my family’s own cat and dog. I am excited to start this new journey! I currently work from home 9-5 in the Doylestown area. I’m an active adult who already likes to walk throughout my day and would love to add a dog friend to that! I would have time at lunch, as well as before or after work to care for your dog. My lunch is flexible so I can work around you! On weekends I have open availability. In the middle of work days I would not be able to provide more than 30 minutes walking or spending time with your dog, but before/after week days and during weekends I could spent up to and hour with your dog to give them extra love! In my client’s home I would care for the pet just as you would! I would ask for and follow your instructions on how you would like your pet cared for and would of course give him or her lots of love!
“I was thousands of miles aways and had no worries back home, with Hailey caring for my sweet Rosie and looking over my home. I had to change the times and days of my reservation several times and Hailey was so patient and understanding. I can't say enough great things about her responsiveness and level of care and attention.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and now have a cat of my own. I’ve also cared for my senior dogs, whom I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with every stage of a pet’s life.

I’m available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits and walks anytime after 4:00 PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I’m committed to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your home and your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rushland on Rover is $35.76 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 5,422 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rushland. 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 Rushland 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 Rushland 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 Rushland 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 Rushland. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
