About: I’ve grown up with so many animals my whole life. I’ve always had cats and dogs. And even horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, etc. Having a pet is such a necessity in my eyes. It makes a house a home. I’d love to care for your pet however needed. I’m currently attending Lancaster Bible College and I am 5 hours away from home (away from my kitty). I’m available Wednesdays after 12pm and all day Fridays. And some time in between on the rest of the weekdays if quickly needed. I am super cautious of personal rules and care for each animal. I know how to be cautious when entering an area where an animal might try to sneak out. I love to give love to animals and play with them or cuddle them, whatever they might need.

Grace was lovely and really helped us out with short notice. She was fantastic with our crew of 3 cats and a senior dog. I felt very comfortable that they were taken care of while I was away!

About: Experience starts young, I used to pet sit dogs in my neighborhood at 12. About three years ago I got my own dog who is a rescue whom I have been able to re-train at behaving alone at home and teach new tricks. My dog is 11 so I have great experience with both young and old. I’m currently working part time at a winery so my hours are flexible and I will be able to easily work around my schedule to fit yours. I have a big sidewalk to walk along at my apartment complex for long walks as well as a dog park. I also have plenty of at home care for all the dogs needs such as if there were accidents cleaning supplies to treat those accidents.

I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.

Katie was great! She spent quality time with the pups and went out of her way to form a positive relationship with our very shy wolfhound. I highly recommend Katie and will book her in the future.

About: I've owned and cared for pets of all sorts, as well as show and farm animals, since I was a small child. I love them all and they all usually love me, even the one's people say don't like men/people. I'm also big and boisterous, equating to perfect (but kind) dominance and control, as well as capabilities the average person might not be able to do, like separating dog fights or controlling unruly large animals. I'm currently self-employeed and can craft my schedule at will to fit any needs! Available for walks, sitting, overnight boarding, and pop in visits at all times. I have 3 dogs, 6 cats, and a frog. Large home and almost a half acre yard, fence coming soon. I am no stranger to all types of animals and animal care.

About: I give personal, one-on-one care. I am not overbooked or rushing between multiple pets. When your dog is with me, they become my priority. I follow your routines carefully, keeping you updated with photos and notes, and create a comfortable environment where they can relax. I’m dependable and genuinely invested in making your dog feel safe and well cared for every single time. I am with my kids most days, so dog sitting fits into our regular home routine. The dogs are part of the household during their stay- they get walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day while kids are at school or busy doing their own activities. I’m always home and focused on making sure every dog feels safe and well cared for. When I’m not with kids I’m am very open to bringing my services to other homes. I care for dogs in my home, where they become part of my daily routine. They get regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest in a comfortable space. I stick closely to their normal schedule so they feel at ease in a new place. You’ll get updates with photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

I cannot recommend Syd highly enough! She stayed at my home for two weeks while I was away and took amazing care of my Leo. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated, gave Leo plenty of love, attention and care, and treated him like he was her own. Not only did she take wonderful care of Leo, but she also looked after the fish, watered my plants, and kept my house in great shape. Coming home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home was such a relief. She went above and beyond in every way, and I would absolutely book her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Syd is the one!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family & friends over the years, and I’m looking to pet-sit/house-sit more often by using Rover! I have experience with dogs and cats. I mostly stay in the home while the owner is away to maintain stability for the pet, while owners are away on trips. I love spending time with animals and snapping funny or cute photos of them to share with their owners while they’re away! I’ll take good care of your fur-baby and show them lots of love! I’m available for walks, feedings, potty breaks and play time for individual days or several days at a time! I work full time M-F but can work remotely from your home and take breaks! I believe that pets are most comfortable when we stick to their schedules, so I do my best to keep to them! I also enjoy texting photos and updates to their owner.

Renee was awesome! She took very good care of our dogs while we were gone. I have spoiled, finicky dogs and she followed directions to a T. She is a true dog lover. She sent updates and pictures daily. As an added bonus, my house was cleaner when I returned than when I left. I highly recommend Renee to pet and house sit.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life - from energetic doodles to gentle seniors. Growing up, my family had 3 Italian Greyhounds, 2 Labradoodles, 1 Goldendoodle, 1 Bernedoodle and a Catahoula Leopard so I am comfortable with all sizes and personalities! I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including giving seizures, giving medication, separation anxiety and maintaining consistent routines. I know how important it is to provide calm, attentive care and make pets feel safe and loved while their people are away! My schedule is very open and flexible for pet care! I’m available most days and can easily adjust my routine around each pets need- whether that’s early morning walks, middays visits or evening cuddles. I am also available for weekend care and overnight stays so your pup always has company and consistency while you’re away. When I visit or stay in a clients home, I treat it - and their pets - with total care and respect, I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks and routines so your pet feels secure in their own environment. I’m very tidy, trustworthy and mindful of your space.

This is a five star human being!!! my travels required me to leave before Dani was to arrive. There was some minor chaos when she arrived being a new venue and canine companion. Because I was traveling by air, I did not get to speak to her until after the fact… when we finally connected, she explained in full detail everything that transpired and that it had been handled and her and Rocky were enjoying a TV program!!! Dani is an extremely responsible, capable friend, friendly assistant! Rocky has already put in a request for her return !!!! Our home was in better organization than when I left!! Extremely awesome experience!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Strausstown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Strausstown on Rover is $28.36 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 660 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Strausstown. 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 Strausstown 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 Strausstown 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 Strausstown 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 Strausstown. On Rover:

  • 94% 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.
