“My dogs are definitely not used to people but they cozey-ed right up to Leigh Ann. She kept my updated with pictures throughout, and asked ample questions beforehand so that she could make sure to provide great care. 10/10 will be calling for her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around my availability and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.

About: I love take walks, so walking you pet(s) would not be an issue. I also love interacting and be being there for them as well. I find that being there and understanding their queues and their needs is a very big thing. I would be able to look after your pet(s) after 8a.m and before 2p.m. This would be during the week day and sometimes the weekends as well. This varies by what eat pet(s) would need, but I know for my dogs wiping them after they walk is a big thing. I would also abide to any rules or regulations they would need and also treat them as my own as well.

About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or the occasional bunny, I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need a reliable sitter. I have hands-on experience walking energetic pups, keeping older dogs comfy and calm, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I’m patient, nurturing, and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs slow walks, playful fetch sessions, or just a cuddle buddy, I’m here for it all. I’m also super dependable, quick to communicate, and will always treat your pets (and your home!) with respect and care. I’m currently home from college and have tons of free time, which means your pet will get my full attention! My schedule is super flexible, whether you need morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet. Since I’m not juggling classes or a packed routine right now, I can be reliable, consistent, and fully present for your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I always follow your specific instructions closely, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, and I keep everything clean and calm for your cat’s comfort. I’m extra mindful about doors, windows, and anything that could be a hazard, especially for curious pets! I also believe communication is key to building trust, so I’ll happily send photo updates and check-ins to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I always aim to leave your home just as I found it.

About: 🐾 My Experience I'm currently an Animal Science student at Penn State University Park with extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets! 🐶🐱🦎 My experience includes pet sitting, animal handling, feeding, daily care, and working with animals of different personalities and needs. I also have professional animal-care experience through internships and animal research. I'm comfortable caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, and other exotic animals, depending on their specific care requirements. I understand that every species has different needs, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. Whether your pet is furry, scaly, shy, energetic, or requires specialized attention, I'm happy to discuss their needs and provide personalized, responsible care! 💕 If you're interested in learning more about my background, experience, and the services I offer, feel free to continue reading through my profile!

As a student and pet owner myself, I may need to leave periodically for classes, work, meals, and to care for my own dog. For a typical 24-hour booking, I generally plan for approximately 2–4 hours of personal time away, depending on my commitments and your pet's needs. I will always discuss my availability and any planned absences with you before confirming your booking.

Choose between: Neighborhood Walk: A relaxing walk around your community with plenty of time to explore and sniff! Special Adventure: With your permission, I can take your dog to a nearby dog park or dog-friendly destination, such as Starbucks for a pup cup! 📸 I'll capture cute moments during our walk and share an edited highlight video within 3–7 days. Special outings, transportation, or extended adventures may involve additional fees, discussed in advance. 🏡 Drop-In Visits | Clean & Personalized Care I respect your home and your pet's routine! During visits, I will: Sanitize my hands and wear clean indoor slippers or ones you provide. Follow feeding instructions, refresh water, and provide necessary care. Offer companionship, playtime, and attention. Provide potty breaks in a secure yard when needed. Accommodate reasonable special requests when discussed beforehand. Full walks are not included in standard drop-in visits but can be arranged separately. 📸 I'll capture feeding, playtime, and adorable moments with my camera, provide Rover updates, and send an edited video within approximately 3–7 days. 🌙 House Sitting | Overnight Care & Companionship I provide overnight companionship, feeding, potty breaks, agreed-upon walks, playtime, and regular updates while keeping your pet comfortable in their own home. ⏰ Personal Time & Availability For a typical 24-hour booking, I generally need approximately 2–4 hours of personal time away to care for my own dog, eat, and handle personal responsibilities. I'll discuss my schedule with you before booking and coordinate around your pet's routine. If your pet requires constant supervision, please let me know beforehand! Additional supervision may be available at an adjusted rate. 🏠 Respecting Your Home I'll follow your household rules, respect your privacy and belongings, maintain cleanliness, and clean up after myself before leaving. 🛒 Additional Services Small grocery pickups, minor household tasks, or additional pet services may be available for an extra fee.

About: Hello Hello! My name is Olivia and I have had dogs, cats, fish, you name it ever since I was little. In May, I started working at a doggy daycare/pet hotel and it was an amazing experience and made me realize I want to keep doing it. While I work at the restaurant a few days a week, I’m not gone for too long. I can walk and take care of the babies accordingly! I live in a four bedroom house with three roommates, 1 female 2 male, in a quiet neighborhood. I don’t have a yard but the neighborhood is very good to take walks around!

About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs in my house since I was a baby. Since I was in middle school, I have been providing house, cat, and dog-sitting for family, friends and strangers. I have done quick jobs like taking a dog out for one walk and I have done longer jobs, staying with 2 dogs while their owners traveled to China for 3 months. I am a very responsible person and I was a nanny for 7 years. Their family trusted me to raise their 3 children, so I promise you can trust me with your pups! I am a fun, happy and loving person and will share that with your pet. I am also responsible so you will have no worries about your home or your furry one. Previous clients have loved when I send pictures of their pets when they're gone. Your fur family will be in great hands! I am an artist so I can bring my work with me anywhere. I’m able to spend lots of time with your pets so they’re not lonely while you’re away. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I understand the time the pet’s humans are away can be a stressful time. I try to take extra special care to make sure the pet feels safe and happy until it’s owner gets home.

Leigh took great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats. The animals range in age from a 7 month old puppy to a 14 year old dog, and she provided excellent care for all of them. Highly recommend!

Leigh was great! Leigh watched our house and two dogs for a week and we got back everything was perfect. The kitchen was clean and the dogs were happy. The dogs are two young labs who have quite a bit of energy and she really did a great job with them. She sent quite a few pictures and was very responsive with any questions we had. I highly recommend Leigh and hope that she continues to dog sit in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stormstown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Stormstown is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $62 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.

As of October 2026, there are 167 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stormstown. 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 Stormstown 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 Stormstown 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 Stormstown 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Stormstown. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
