“Celine was great! She stayed with our pups all day, sent pictures and kept us in the loop. We’re very appreciative of her, and our pups loved her company all day. Looking forward to their next time with her!”
“Ryane was very communicative. He notified me as to his arrival and departure. He was excellent with my pup and left everything clean and neat. I plan to use him in the future and highly recommend.”
“Always a great stay for our Trio. This time we were completely out of touch at a location with no cell or WIFI and left backup numbers for just in case and when we were late in getting home she contacted our backups to make sure we were going to get back or was there an issue really above and beyond.”
About: Hey, I'm Kelly! I've dog-sat for friends over the years for various lengths of time, getting to know many different breeds and their unique personalities. I genuinely love dogs and focus not just on their basic needs, but also on engaging with them and providing a fun environment. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced, and fun-loving dog sitter, I'm your person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home, which means plenty of time to hang with dogs. Whether it's walk time, feed time, or just chill time, I've got it covered. Love having a furry friend around to make the workday better. I've got a great setup at home for dogs – a fenced backyard for them to run around in and tons of toys for playtime. Your dog will have the freedom to explore and play in a secure environment, and I'll always be there to keep an eye on them. So, while you're away, they'll be having their own little fun-filled vacation at my place.
“Thanks for all the little extras-such as taking the recycling down & yard waste to curb for Friday pick up. Dogs are so well looked after; we appreciate you & the gentle approach”
About: I'm a repeat dog sitter and have experience with unexpectedly taking a dog to the vet, after-surgery care, cleaning wounds, breaking up fights, multiple dog homes, getting difficult dogs to take pills, and training. I also do pet portraits! I work from home as an illustrator so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I'm available all weekends and weekdays! I take care of pets in their own home. I can take animals on walks, play fetch, crate them; whatever would make them most comfortable! I can stay for as long as you'd like or only check in a few times a day.
“Eileen was fantastic! She was very attentive to our boys and kept in close contact with us the entire weekend. She also sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”
“Logan did an excellent job watching our 3 dogs and chickens. Our dogs aren’t the easiest to care for - they are a little high maintenance, but Logan did great with them!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals ever since I was a child including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have extensive experience in handling and caretaking of dogs. I am available any day of the week at this time. I can board, walk and sit for animals in my home or their owner’s homes. My first and foremost concern is the animals wellbeing. So I can go to their home if that’s the best option for them and the owner. I can also board in my home. I currently have 1 senior cat who is rather shy but has been around dogs and other cats in the past. I have a big yard where I can take and walk dogs outside to play and exercise. I could also crate if it’s needed.
“Tara was great and super accommodating. Our pup took to her right away. Usually she has a fit of separation anxiety when we leave, but not with Tara. They had a good evening together. We recommend Tara highly and would use her again.”
“Jamie was amazing! It was our first time getting a sitter so we were definitely very nervous. But she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Her apartment was clean and spacious. She even sent us pictures and made a video of the dog! I can’t Recomended Jamie enough! Thank you so much.”
“Matt took phenomenal care of our two pups while we were away. He was extremely communicative and got them both tons of exercise and play. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for the best care for their pets!!”
About: I am a local medical student who loves to get outside and be active! I would love to walk your dogs, spend some quality time with them, and help you out with your day. I have grown up with two family dogs, who I visit when I am home in Scranton and not in Philly. One new baby puppy and one 12 year old girl, so I have lots of experience with any age range! I am available 7 days a week. I am currently in school, so my schedule is on a week by week basis for how open I am walking or caring for your animal. I can work with you to fit your needs I care for my pets by making sure they are fed, cool (or warm!), happy, and entertained. I have had 3 large breed dogs my entire life, a Bouvier, a giant schnauzer, and Saint Bernard, so I know how to care for some big fluffy friends
“Noelle is great and goes above and beyond. She stayed with my two dogs for multiple nights which is not easy. My dogs are lovable but they are rescues who were abused so they have behavioral issues. Noelle wasn’t worried and came to spend time with them ahead of our travel to ensure she understood their challenges and learned how to handle them. One of my dogs is people selective but loved Noelle from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She even worked on some training techniques with them during her stay. She is a true animal lover and it’s evident in her care towards all animals, treating them as her own. I highly recommend her!”
“Samantha was a great help while we were away on vacation. Our dog seemed to really like her. She came by often and consistently to let her out and feed her. She went above and beyond, and took her for extra walks.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with at least 4 dogs at a time. I currently have a 7 year old & 2 year old Catahoula leopard dogs & 3 children. I have experience with all different types of dogs from big to small. I love all breeds. When I was a teenager I spent a summer helping train service dogs for people in wheelchairs. Which I loved. It was so much fun & rewarding. I'm also a certified obedience dog trainer with certifications in pet first aid & CPR training & dog walking. My availability depends on the day, so just contact me & I can usually fit your pup in. I don't mind traveling in any weather. Look forward to meeting you & your puppy. I have a great family to help support me with my dream of working with dogs. I do this full time along with training. I have a fenced in yard & friendly dogs that loves other dogs to play with. I also have a small & large kennel that we can pop up if needed. I'm doing this full-time now. I have my schedule setup to be pretty flexible with each dog's needs. With my experience at the doctor's office, I know how to manage time to better suit all my clients. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs are friendly & goes out all the time to continue with their socialization & training. I have different size kennels if needed. I like doing "meet & greets" to get to know your dog & you better & to completely understand the layout of your home. It also gives us the chance to go over things & ask any questions. I'm also fully insured in case if something ever happened.

FAQs for House Sitting - Scott
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 186 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scott. 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 Scott 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 Scott 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 Scott 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.

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.
