About: I’ve cared for dogs through my own experience as a dog owner, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to their needs, enjoy spending time with them, and will make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, food, and attention. I’m also happy to follow each pet parent’s specific routines and instructions so your dog can feel at home while you’re away. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and secure, and make sure they receive attentive, loving care while you’re away.
“Amethyst house sat for our two, including our livestock guardian breed dog, who is very slow to trust people. By the end of the week he was leaning up against her and asking to be pet. She sent lots of photos and kept us informed of her comings and goings. I would gladly recommend her, particularly to those with dogs who aren't friendly to strangers. Our Kuvasz, (like a Great Pyrenees), did great with her as she patiently met with him before our trip and managed him while we were gone.”
About: After taking care of my dog for a year and having to say goodbye to her, I live vicariously through other pet owners and want to share my love. I feel as though I spiritually connect with dogs specifically, I have a good understanding of them, not to mention I just absolutely adore them. I am able to teach small skills like teaching them to sit, give a paw, and potty training! You will not be disappointed to leave your dog in my hands. I am currently a college student who takes one to two classes a day, and I am working part time Thursday-Sunday. Throughout the weekdays, in between my classes, I am able to check in on your furry loved ones. I am able to do drop ins and walks throughout the entire day Monday-Wednesday. On Thursday and during the weekends, I am available before 3pm and after 10pm. Please contact me for scheduling details about overnight dog sitting. At a clients home, pets are well cared for in my presence. I engage in a lot of playtime with pets, talking, comprehension exercises, 30 minute walks, potty training, and small training commands. Listening and receiving communication signals from your pet is a very important thing to notice, this is something I take pride in being good at. I keep a clean and organized space while I am there and also include costs of cleaning pet related messes in the house while I am pet sitting such as picking up pet hair, cleaning food/water bowls, wiping paw prints, tidying pet areas.
“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”

About: Hi my name is Passion! Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s apart of who I am. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to the occasional rat or fish tank adventure. Growing up in a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) friends taught me compassion, responsibility, and how to read animals’ unique personalities and needs. I’ve volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society for over 6 months, where I gained hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments in addition to Lifeline Animal Shelter. I also previously worked at PetSmart helping pet parents find everything from the right nutrition to the perfect toy. To top it all off, my mom owns a dog grooming business as well!—so professional pet care has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. We also previously owned and operated a dog-treat business where we were successful in getting shelving writhing boutique pet care retailers. Whether it’s a long walk (I think I may love getting my steps in even more than our friends with four legs haha), a cuddle session, or reliable overnight care, your pets will be in safe, loving, and experienced hands with me. I treat every pet like family—and I mean that furrrreal! Bonus: My partner is a Veterinary Technician! I work a hybrid work schedule so I am grateful for the privilege of flexibility and tailoring my schedule around any personal needs or additional assistance that I provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home in a calm, quiet environmentally, I’m able to provide constant supervision and personalized care throughout the day. I carefully monitor each pet’s behavior, ensure they have a secure and stress-free space, and tailor their routine to their unique needs. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medication, or keeping walks controlled and safe, I make sure every detail is handled with attention and love.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rydal
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Rydal is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $42 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rydal. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
