“Richard is a phenomenal pet sitter! Our two cats and pup took to him immediately. He is a great communicator and left our house better than he found it. Can't wait to work with him in the future!”
“Had such a great first Rover experience with Nancy! She took such good care of my cat and gave me constant updates and photos. Would definitely have Nancy watch my animal again.”
“Margo was such a good sitter. She came and met my pup the day before since they hadn’t met before. Took the time to ask all the questions on his habits, schedule, and medications. Even though I needed her pretty early in the morning she had no problems with being on time. The videos and pics throughout the day was a very nice touch.”
“Rocco took to Sky immediately for our first meeting. That's how I knew I could trust them. They took such good care of him and Mitzi. Thank you for watching my babies, especially during the terrible air quality! Will book again if you'll have me.”
About: I have always loved pets. Growing up, I didn't have any of my own, but those of my friends, neighbors, and family were always the highlight of my day. I've taken care of and friends' dogs and accompanied many of them throughout the years during their time as sitters. I am now a proud cat mom and ready to fill my life with more adorable animal friends! I am open to caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other small pets. I am in the last year of my MFA program, so I have classes to work around. However, my schedule is generally somewhat open, and on a given day I am usually at home or nearby my neighborhood, so I can easily accommodate a last minute drop in request. When visiting your home, I will be sure to respect your space and follow your instructions to a T (I'll always check everything at least twice)!
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire 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”
“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!”
About: Hi! Thank you for checking me out! After a long hiatus, I am back on the app. I am looking forward to adding housing sitting to my services. I have been in this pet business for a minute and I am now looking forward to meeting some great pets! Please contact me if you have specific questions. I would love to get to know YOU, as well as your pup. So, I would love to have an initial meeting to see if we would match and get to know each other (human AND dog) before deciding to take each other on. Thank you! About this sitter: Hey there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I am currently looking to take care of your pup while you are out. I notice that there are lots of dog owners who would benefit by having their dog (s) being walked during the day and I am happy to offer my services and drop in on your pet. I am also offering the service of looking after your pup while you travel out of town if you are comfortable with it. I do request that we (You and Pup) meet up to see if there will be a fit. I do request that your pups are crate trained, friendly and house trained. Thank you so much and feel free to look at my reviews! Why I love dog sitting I have been a fan of dogs since my childhood. I have always had a dog from the time I could speak! Meet my pets I don't own any pets! So please do not forget to provide me with the necessary items for your dog (s)! My experience administering medication I am only as comfortable as the owner would be comfortable with me administering meds. In a perfect world, I would rather not take on this responsibility in case something goes wrong, but I have done it! I am currently only looking at house-sitting services. I look forward to meeting you! Since I can't own a dog, I look forward to taking care of yours as if it were my own. I have a regular 9-5, so I will walk them in the morning, and if they are close to my workplace, I will do a quick drop-in midday, followed by an evening walk. I am pretty active so I try to get them exhausted (weather permitting). One walk in the morning, feed them, walk in the afternoon, and the last walk before I go to bed [ if am working from home]. If I am at work; one walk in the morning, when I come back from work, and before bedtime. All very short but enough for a business to be done, lol.
“Syd is a great and fun kitty sitter. They have stayed with my cats twice for a week each. I get lovely pictures and updates everyday. Syd’s care and positive energy puts me at ease when I have to be away. I will continue to hire Syd to watch my kitties as long as they are available. I’m so thankful!”
“Maya is an excellent sitter. She took great care of our 3 cats while we were out of town, and sent us lots of video and pictures to show how they were doing. Highly Recommended”
“Sebastian is the best! Great communication and the cutest photos get sent regularly of our pets! Our pup gets lots of walks with him (and pup cups!). Highly recommend him and he always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of!”
About: Starting local to Philadelphia. I have been taking care of other people's strays and rescuing feral and street animals for several years. I can manage several animals simultaneously and accommodate all of their psychological and physical needs. I have provided care for Chinchillas, Ferrets, Rabbits, cats, and dogs. Dog walking was something I did for two years for my neighbors. I am currently a cat sitter, and provide drop-in visits. In the morning I will check on the needs of any animals ie food and water. I will play and walk with them for about an hour. I will have dogs with similar temperaments play with one another. After playing and walking I will make sure they eat and rest. Throughout the day I will provide activities and enrichment for the pets. At the end of the day i will walk dogs for another hour. I care for pets in my home based on their individualized needs. Certain cats are independent and would prefer not to be touched. I will foster a positive relationship with the pet slowly, and individualize their affection based on their personalities and needs.
“Dan was an absolute pleasure - in fact I just requested he housesit and watch our little Rebo again next month! He is caring, sends a ton a photos/videos, and is exceptionally trustworthy. I'm one of those crazy dog moms, and Dan handled me (and Rebo!!) beautifully. Thanks Dan!”
“Marie did a wonderful job watching our puppy. This was the first time he was away from us overnight and she made our pup feel right at home. I would definitely recommend Marie.”
“Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”
“Kirsten is the best!! I was so relieved knowing that my dog was in great care my first time leaving him for an extended amount of time. Kirsten gave me plenty of updates throughout the day and was so understanding and patient with his anxiety and leash reactivity. Kirsten was incredibly flexible, kind, and so respectful of my home. Coming home to a super tidy house and laundry done was unexpected but the best after a full day of travel! Couldn’t recommend Kirsten enough and would absolutely book again :)”
“Amber is great! She was extremely professional, prompt, and very communicative during her stay. We really appreciated that she was able to book somewhat last minute over the holidays! We also loved all the pictures she took of our pup. We highly recommend her!”
“Calvin was incredible! He watched our dog who can be a bit timid with new people, and he took great care of her. He left our house in perfect condition and even left some goodies behind for our girl. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Spruce Hill is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spruce Hill
Carol was wonderful! I loved her energy and sweetness from the moment we met, and Felix was immediately comfortable with her. She kept me updated throughout my trip, and it was clear Felix had a great time with lots of walks, attention, and affection. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Jacob did a week-long stay for us, which is a massive undertaking, but as always, he did beautifully! We're so appreciative of Jacob's great communication with us, his attentiveness to our pets, and the many many pictures of them while we're away missing them! Can't recommend Jacob enough!!
Amber was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our cat Mabel for two weeks. She provided thorough updates including lots of photos for each twice-daily visit and very clearly loved on Mabel so much. We highly recommend Amber for anyone looking for a cat or pet sitter!
I cannot say enough about how amazing Anna is. She is hands down the best Rover and animal sitter I have ever had in my 15 years of having pets in this area. Anna is so professional, communicative and caring. I feel so reassured when I know my dog is in her care. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone who truly treats your pets as if they are her own.
Erin was great with our 3 pets! We have a high energy dog and she was absolutely wonderful with accommodating her needs while we were away. We have 2 cats, one more friendly than the other, and Erin was so good about meeting each of them where they’re at socially. 10/10

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Spruce Hill is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $98 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 Spruce Hill 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 Spruce Hill 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 Spruce Hill 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 Spruce Hill. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
