About: Hey there! I have experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve fostered big dogs, worked with horses in equine assisted therapy, and have pet-sitted cats as well as currently have my own two cats. I love walking and am always looking to get my steps in. My two cats are harnessed trained and enjoy going on walks. I am currently looking for a full-time job and have a part-time from 2-6 pm every weekday. This allows me to be flexible and to drop by in the morning or in the evening. I am very observant and careful when dog walking. I am always on the lookout for possible dog stressors like cars, people, or other dogs. I am very respectful of any home I am in. Our pets have mental health problems just like us and I strive to create a calming and enjoyable environment for all furry friends.
About: I've had pets since I was a kid, from Rottweilers to Pekingese. I have experience with young pups, caring for seniors, and higher energy breeds. I've adopted all my dogs and have experience with crate training, leash training, and potty training. My home is very quiet and equip with a Big Barker, toys, a big back yard, and a quiet 5-mile road for walks. I'm home most of the time, outside of occasional weekend markets for my business. On those days, I would be available after 3 PM. I am a master student with flexible time to fit your pets needs. My house is very quiet with a big back yard and a quiet 5-mile gravel trail right out our front door. I'm able to feed, brush, walk, snuggle, and play to meet a pups needs.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including a 15-year-old dachshund. I provide a daily routine, health monitoring, and a comfortable, enriched life for senior pets.With years of experience caring for dogs, we understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. From playtime and walks to cuddles,meals,and plenty of TLC, we make sure they feel happy,comfortable,and right at home.We know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind, so we keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. We provide more than dog sitting- A genuine Loving Care While You're Away! I am available to board your pet in our home. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your needs. I have experience in caring for all types of pets and will provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pet while you are away. I have a fenced yard and a 15-year-old dachshund. I am happy to puppysit for you. While you are away, your furbaby can stay at our home, where I will treat them like our own.
About: I’m the person who sees an animal and immediately greets them with the warmth of an old friend. I’ve felt a bond and (to the reluctance of my parents) an un spoken duty to protect and care for animals in need since childhood. At our house we had pets of all sizes and species and dogs were considered a part of the family. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets with the same high standard of care and attention that I would want for my own. I am currently working from home and my schedule grants me the flexibility to accommodate last minute bookings. Feel free to reach out if you’re in a bind! I make house calls for check-ins/potty breaks ect. and I’m happy to include a walk to give your fur babe some much needed outdoor time while you’re away.
“Raquel did a wonderful job watching our dog while we were away!! We had great communication and received regular updates and pictures!! Pinto seemed happy in her care. We will definitely be using Raquel in the future!”
“Ken is awesome. He watched our pup (Wally) for 3 days and in that time, we got lots of pictures and updates. We feel so thankful that Wally can stay comfortable and taken care of at home while we're away.”
“Maria was so great with our dogs! She kept our house tidy, was on time, and was super flexible when our plans changed! We booked her last minute and I am so grateful she helped us out! Will definitely be using her again!”
“We absolutely love Kiana! She has taken care of Hazel and Apollo for us several times, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re with her. She is so kind, dependable, and attentive, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about them. Our dogs are happy and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. Just as importantly, Kiana takes wonderful care of our home while we’re away. We never have to worry about a thing. We come home to happy dogs and a clean, well-cared-for house, which makes traveling so much easier. It’s a great feeling to have someone we trust completely with both our dogs and our home. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kiana and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and trustworthy.”
About: I’ll make sure your furry friend gets all the exercise and love they need while you're busy. With flexible scheduling and a passion for pups, I’m here to keep tails wagging and spirits high. I am currently unemployed and looking for something to do during my days. I enjoy working with animals, and have always had a pet my entire life. I have a dog and a cat. I take my dog on daily walks and have play time with her. My cat loves to play with her as well when I’m gone running errands.
About: I have grown up taking care of animals, as well as pet sitting for my friends and family throughout high school and college. As a fellow dog mom, I am confident in my ability to care for dogs of all needs and personality types :) I currently work part-time, and am free during the week in the morning time (before noon), all day on Wednesdays, as well as on the weekend. I am available for dog walking and in-house pet sitting. I currently live in an apartment with my two dogs, so I understand the need that dogs have to get regular walks/attention while their owners are away/if they have no yard!
“Day is wonderful. Our anxious little pup was calm and happy when we got home. Day is a great communicator with our dog and with us, sending lots of pictures and keeping us informed. Definitely recommend her.”
About: I have volunteered at the animal shelter since I was 14 years old. I have taken care of my friends and family's pets. These pets have included cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I have experience taking care of and raising kittens. I used to foster cats. I am also pursuing a career as a veterinarian. I am a full-time student with most of my classes in the morning. I should have plenty of time to look after your pets in the afternoons or weekends! I take precautions when I am in someone else's home. I will monitor the pet(s) closely to make sure that they do not get injured.
About: Hi, I’m sheila. I’m fully vaccinated. I currently own 3 dogs, 2 cats and 4 horses and 15 goats. My passion is to work and help keeping animals happy and comfortable. I currently own and run a private horse farm, as well have owned dogs/cats and have been caring for them for over 13 years. I’m very responsible and always put animals before myself. When I go into clients homes I always make sure to leave with everything looking the same way I arrived with a happy 4 legged friend.
“Kamya did a great job taking care of my two dogs over an extended holiday weekend. She provided daily photos and multiple updates per day, which kept my mind at ease being on the other side of the country. My dogs are senior, typically lower energy, but she got them to play and feel young again :).”
“We are so grateful that Anahita was able to help us with Boomer, even though it was a little last minute. She was very attentive and responsive. Very lucky to have her close by!!”

I can’t recommend her enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs—they liked her right away, which immediately put me at ease. She gave me daily updates while I was away, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a clean house, which was such a nice bonus. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly great with animals. I will definitely be hiring her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Randi this weekend. Corey, Leo, and Andy were so well cared for, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Randi was caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the weekend, which we really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about the dogs and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. We came home to three happy pups! We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Taylorstown is $65 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $77 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 Taylorstown 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 Taylorstown 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 Taylorstown 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.

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.
