About: I’ve owned many dogs throughout my lifetime! I believe each dog is unique and has its own personality and should be treated as if it is its own being! They are amazing and I would love to help in anyway I can with your fur babies! I love any and all animals, warm and cold blooded! During the summer I do have my kids with me a lot during the week but they are totally fine to hang in the car if anyone isn’t comfortable with them coming in for a few minutes while I take care of your babies! If any animals are not good around children, I can make other arrangements if needed just let me know. I am open to most times of the day to help with anything you need me to! I can come to your home when needed, walk, play with, feed and care for your animals! I am willing to stop by most times of the day! I am comfortable with caring for special needs animals, elderly animals, young animals and any other special circumstances that may come up!
“Liz was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She sent several pics even though she stayed 1 night. When we got home, everything was nice and neat. We highly recommend Liz and would definitely use her again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our dog and cat received while we were away. Serenidy went above and beyond, showering them with love and attention. Not only did they feel comfortable and loved, but our home was also in great hands!”
“Robyn was great with our girls. She took great care of them while we were out of town for a week. She took special attention to each of them ❤️ we will definitely be booking again with her next time we go out of town”
About: I have had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I am very comfortable providing help for animals with special accommodations, administering medicine and handling picky eaters. I am here to go above and beyond of your animal’s care and make a lasting relationship with every client. I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all sorts and sizes and allowing owners to have a piece of mind while away. I am a recent college graduate who is home most of the day, so I am able to mold my schedule directly to your animal’s needs. I am able to play, walk, give bathroom breaks, and deliver medication as often as needed. When I stay at other people’s homes I am making sure to go over every part of the animal(s)’ checklist and daily routine to ensure it is a great experience for all parties. I am a very organized person who loves to stay on top of things and I bring these aspects into my dog sitting.
“Ally does a great job and spends time playing with Marley while she’s over. She sends pictures and keeps you updated. Marley loves Ally, and we aren’t worried about Marley when Ally is taking care of her!”
“Absolutely hands down the best care we could have asked for. The pups were treated like their own by Mai and Jonathan. Daily updates and photos of the dogs were sent. And they cleaned the house before they left. Which was absolutely not necessary but much appreciated. Highly recommend them, and will definitely use them in the future.”
“Wonderful sitters! Joyce and her husband took such good care of our 4 dogs. We were really happy that they were able to come to our home multiple times per day in order to feed water and play with our 4 sweethearts. And Joyce was able to take 1 dog to the vet to look at an injury that occurred PRIOR to her starting; the dogs paw got caught in something right before we were scheduled to leave for vacation. Luckily, his paw was fine. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were and are with the house/pet sitting by Joyce!”
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“Erin stayed in our home 4 nights & took great care of our babies; a senior dog, cat, & hamster. She communicated with me quickly, sent photos & left my house very clean. Highly recommend! Thank you Erin!!”
About: We have 5 dogs and 1 cat at home whom all have different needs given their different personalities and ages. 2 of the 5 are seniors and are my babies! I currently work full time so I am looking for more evening/weekend care. On holidays, I am also available to tend to your fur family. I am flexible around those times! Adhere to routines shared with me and any specific needs catered to the pet(s). I prefer to meet the pet beforehand and walkthrough with the pet parent on their needs so I can see it hands on.
“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”
“Kristen was amazing! We came home from our vacation to a clean house and very happy pup! She was very easy to communicate with from the very beginning, and she sent several updates throughout the stay. We felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby in her hands, and we absolutely plan to book her again in the future!!”
“We were visiting from out of town, so we weren’t able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, but we felt comfortable trusting her from our very first phone call. She took great care of our 2 month old puppy, made sure he got plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and naps, and followed our feeding and safety instructions perfectly. She also kept us updated throughout the day with texts, photos, and little check-ins about how he was doing, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy and well loved pup and would absolutely trust her again if we’re in the area in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Had a last minute family emergency and Aubrey was willing to step in on short notice. Took good care of my dog and most importantly communicated well in terms of how my dog was doing and in addition when she wanted to take my dog somewhere asked first. I had no issues with that and my dog had a good time but asking first for things like that is important.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ally took wonderful care of our dog, River, while we were away! She was kind, reliable, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us enjoy our trip knowing River was in good hands. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when our plans changed at the last minute, and we truly appreciated her willingness to work with us. It was clear she genuinely cared about River and wanted to make sure he was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful for everything Ally did and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rydal
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rydal on Rover is $32.75 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 1,268 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rydal. 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 Rydal 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 Rydal 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 Rydal 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 Rydal. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
