“Ellen was absolutely amazing! Super flexible with some strange arrangements helping us look after our dog in a downtown hotel. Very kind and Poppy took to her immediately. Would highly highly recommend.”
“10/10 recommend Sky. She was available on short notice and was available for a meet and greet the next day. My pup took to her immediately! Sky was prompt in arrival and departure. She sent me regular updates and my home was very tidy upon return. If Sky had any care questions, she sent them my way. Your pup or cat will certainly be adored if they have Sky caring for them!”
“Taylor is a great pet sitter! I am a self proclaimed crazy pet parent and I get really nervous about leaving my pets with someone else. However, I didn’t worry at all when Taylor watched my dogs and cats. She took excellent care of them and they were happy all weekend! I will definitely be using Taylor again in the future.”
“Brianna did awesome with our dog who has anxiety with new people and was so patient and kind with Penny! Penny seemed relaxed and well taken care of when we came back. Brianna was also very communicative. Highly recommend :)”
“Claire was AMAZING!!! My fiance and I found ourselves in a tight spot for a long weekend. Claire saved the day and spent the entire long weekend watching our difficult french bulldog in our home. She was responsive, attentive, and sent a ton of great pictures. I couldn't recommend Claire enough... we will certainly be booking her again. THANK YOU CLAIRE!”
“Rowan was great with Riley! Our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to a medical issue but luckily, Rowan was available. She was able to come the next day for a meet and greet. Riley took a little bit of time to warm up but she took it slow and let him come to her. I would definitely have her stay with Riley again!”
“Hope was amazing. Constantly checked in with us regarding our dogs and took great care of them. Sent lots of photos so we knew the boys were OK. 100% would go with her again.”
“Did an amazing job with my dog and cat during the 2-week long overnight stay at my place. They gave lots of updates and photos which helped me feel more at ease leaving my pets. They also cleaned up after themselves when they were done, which was really appreciated after getting back from a long trip! Absolutely would recommend them!”
“Emily is amazing. My dog can be extremely stubborn when she doesn’t want to go out but Emily was undeterred. Winnie also hates thunderstorms and there were several while Emily was watching her and Emily was so attentive to keeping Winnie calm during the storms. Emily also sent great photos and regular updates. I felt super at ease knowing Winnie was in Emily’s hands!”
“Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!”
“I had a great experience with this Warren and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Henry beforehand, which gave me confidence that he genuinely cared about providing the best care possible. While I was away, he was extremely communicative, sending regular updates and plenty of pictures. He was always very responsive whenever I reached out, and it was clear Henry was in great hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention he provided, and I look forward to using his services again!”
“I almost want to give a Dan a bad review just for the sake of gatekeeping. He's amazing!!!!!!!!! I felt safe and confident with Dave, got great pics with funny captions, he's the best around!”
“Ariana was extremely attentive to my dogs needs and made him feel very comfortable. She sends lots of updates and keeps me in the loop. He’s always so excited to see her and I feel good leaving him in her hands.”
“Our quirky dog warmed up to Ximena right away, which says a lot. Ximena was thorough in learning both our dog's and cats' routines and put us at ease with regular updates while we were away. Highly recommended!”
“Mattea clearly loves pets and more importantly they love her back! Great communication with us throughout. The home was kept clean too. My dogs have some quirks, and she really listened and made sure they were cared for while we were away.”
About: I have grown up with a dog and watched family and friends dogs. I would love to get a dog of my own one day but for now looking to spend some quality dog time with Rover! I am hybrid with work so my schedule is flexible. I also live very close to my work. Can work with the client to create a schedule best for them. I love going for walks and having some doggie snuggles. I think it’s important to remain consistent with their normal routine. Very flexible and look for directions from pet owners.
“Calvin was absolutely AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about his service. He was super communicative and really cared about making sure our fur babies were well looked after while we were away. He was flexible with how he had to look after each and just great overall. We’ll book again and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Alison was great! She took amazing care of my pets and was very responsive. It was so hot and she made sure my dogs went out plenty but didn’t get too hot. Would definitely recommend Alison, I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Luke was able to take care of my senior dog on super short notice, and they immediately connected. It was great to know my pup had good company. Luke's got jokes too. 10/10 no notes”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Schuylkill
Katrina and Damian were absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, gentle, and attentive to our puppies every need (as well as mine). Self proclaimed over-protective dog mom that just moved to the city!! They sent me so many pictures it floored us and we couldn’t have been happier. I didn’t have time to get anxious worrying about my dogs because I always knew what they were doing and visually saw they were happy. Would 10/10 book again! So grateful for them.
Kristen was wonderful w our 3 cats and dog for two weeks at our home. Communications and photos were helpful and set me at ease. The animals were all happy when we got home and the house looked great. Our dog has anxiety and they had no issues. We are so grateful for Kristen and her help.
Maayan took great care of our Callie girl and gave us the best updates and photos everyday (easily one of the highlights of our day on vacation)! I’m an anxious dog mom but felt so at ease the whole time knowing Callie was in great hands. Maayan also left our place spotlessly clean! We’re so thankful for Maayan and cannot recommend her more!
Cannot say enough good things about Alex. My cat has a newly diagnosed illness and I was insanely stressed about leaving her at home for the first time since finding out. Alex was incredibly kind and understanding about my nerosis and treated my home with impeccable care. They were very generous with photos and updates which helped me so much. I hope Alex is always available when kitty needs a sitter.
Kelsey was so good with my rescue pup — she made her feel very comfortable and took great care of her (and did a great job redirecting her puppy naughtiness). Made sure to check in with photos and read through instructions carefully. Would recommend working with her, my dog loves her!
Brianna was a great cat and house sitter! Brianna quickly responded to my query for a meet and greet and asked great questions. She stayed for over a week and graciously adjusted her dates to come earlier and stay a day later than I had originally booked. My kitties were very well loved and taken care of and Brianna gave me perfect daily updates and followed my kitty and house instructions. I came home to very happy and comfortable kitties and the house looked great and as I left it. I will be booking Brianna again. I feel very good about her staying in my home. Thank you Brianna!

FAQs for House Sitting - Schuylkill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Schuylkill on Rover is $53.28 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 5,522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Schuylkill. 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 Schuylkill 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 Schuylkill 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 Schuylkill 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 Schuylkill. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
