“JonJon was amazing. He went above and beyond in everything he did. He spent so much time, cuddling the cats and made sure everything was taken care of every day, including medication. I felt confident and comfortable in his ability to manage the cats and the medication and everything else that went along with it. So kind and thoughtful. You can tell he loves spending time with my cats, which is just so great.”
About: Hi!! I am an animal lover with hands on experience caring for my own dog and cat. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe, happy and well cared for when you are away. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends. If you need to extend the days, it would not be an inconvenience. I am available for house sitting only and I am not able to board pets in my own home. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and treat them with the same love and attention I give my own
“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!”
About: Ive taken care of almost any pet you could think of, anything from dogs to sugar gliders. Im great with animals of all sizes I have my own 110 pound Husky mut who gives me a run for my money every walk. I love all animals alike and am here for your beautiful animals:) Im currently in school for carpentry, I have varying hours during the week but am still open to pet care working around school times. Thursdays are my most locked up days with classes all day. Typically in the past I would have received a text or a handwritten note describing how people have their own personal routines to make your animal feel as casual and happy as possible while owners are away. I bring the respect of being a guest in others homes as I would want to be brought to my own home.
About: i love dogs, i treat them with lots of love and care. i have been working with dogs for almost 9 years now. i am a professional dog groomer! i always had a dog growing up, i just haven't gotten my own yet :) i love to cuddle dogs and play with them. i understand that dogs get very nervous when their owner leaves so i like to be with them as much as possible. I also know that going potty can take forever and it's all about patience so I will wait as long as i need to until your little pup goes! When it's time for feeding, i will sit with them so they feel more comfortable. I also like to bring surprise treats and toys for them to keep them distracted. I will do everything to make them feel comfortable and loved. I love to build connections with not just the dogs but the owners as well. I want you to feel completely comfortable and safe! I also like to send pictures of your dog(s) to you :) I do not have a fenced in yard but we can take lots of walks and play at the park.
“Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.”
“Deanna was great! Responsive and took great care of our house, puppy, and two cats while we truly got to enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond with what we asked her to do and will absolutely use her again for our next trip!”
“They are both amazing! We are moving too and I told them they really don’t have to stay at the house since it was chaotic with boxes and such, but they insisted to stay with my babies. My pups were obsessed 🤍🐾”
About: Hey there! As a lifelong animal lover, I've been surrounded by furry friends since day one. Over the past decade, I've had the joy of caring for multiple dogs and cats, giving me a wealth of experience in pet sitting. I'm comfortable around all dog sizes and working from home means I have the flexibility to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I am a full-time law student out on the main line and in classes for about 4 hours a day, three times a week. It’s important to me that your pet feels as little interruption to their daily routine as possible. I will follow any instructions left by you to ensure your animal feels secure and at ease.
About: I have lived with dogs since a very young age, and I have always helped to take care of them! In my sophomore and junior year of high school I also raised a seeing eye dog with my brother, which was more involved than raising a family dog as there are very specific training methods for these dogs. Dogs have always been my favorite animal, and I really enjoy spending time with them in any setting. I would be more than happy to help make your pup's day a little better if possible/needed! I have experience with other's dogs for dog/house sitting, hosting, as well as with walking and running them. I would be happy to take your dog(s) running, hiking, on an adventure or to a dog park if that is what you (and they) prefer! I do shift work so I have a weird schedule that gives me random days off to care for your pup! I am a resident physician who doesn’t yet have a dog of my own but am a HUGE dog person :) I care for all pets as if they were my own! I grew up with the best dog in the world and back in medical school got myself a cat because they are easier when I do 24 hour shifts. I make sure they get all the love, attention and care they need <3
“I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog walker and pet sitter with a year of experience providing loving care for dogs. Most of my experience comes from caring for the pets of friends and family, where I’ve built a reputation for being attentive, dependable, and treating every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I make communication a priority. You can count on me to provide regular updates, respond promptly to messages, and follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and companionship, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My current availability allows me to provide up to three walks per day on weekends, as well as on Mondays and Fridays. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! When I used to sit I would take the dog on a walk before work and one in the evening. I know some dogs need three but I’d only be able to do so on the weekend and Friday and Monday I’d prefer to pet sit in the pup’s home versus mine. I find it makes them less nervous or antsy especially with a new face but would welcome doing it if needed.
“Claire was AMAZING! She stayed with my senior pittie for a week. She was able to do a meet and greet same day for a last minute trip. She was very communicative and sent me multiple updates and photos. I felt very at ease being away and knowing my baby was well cared for. Thanks Claire!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thorofare
Nicole was very nice and easy to talk to when I met her. The dogs were very comfortable being around her upon introduction. They were content and happy when I returned from my trip. They didn’t seem stressed in the least, which tells me she took excellent care of them. The house was treated with care too. I will definitely ask her to stay with my dogs again.
Kristine did an amazing job watching our Chihuahua, Scout. We booked the house sitting as our dog tends to do better in his home environment, and we were provided with a ton of feedback and photo updates to let us know that he was being taken care of. He was shown lots of love and care during this stay. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I plan on rebooking again soon!
Tori was absolutely amazing. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet so she could fully understand Aspen’s routine, which immediately showed how much she genuinely cares. From the start, it was clear that she was focused on making Aspen’s stay as comfortable and meaningful as possible. She truly went above and beyond—sending plenty of pictures and updates that gave me complete peace of mind. I honestly wish I had found Tori sooner because she completely turned around my experience with Rover. To top it all off, she went the extra mile in a way I didn’t think was possible and even got Aspen an Easter present. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. Tori is a world-class sitter, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Amanda house-sat our two French bulldogs for seven nights, and she was excellent! From start to finish, Amanda was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We received pictures and updates everyday, and I would tell our dogs were clearly well-loved! The house was also very well taken care of. Amanda brought in mail and packages, and she also took our trash and recycling to the curb for trash day (It was ALOT from Christmas). When we arrived home after our trip, everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. Amanda was wonderful, I would not hesitate to book her again!! I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and kind dog sitter!
Felicia was superb while we were on vacation for a few days. I really appreciated Felicia’s initiative to meet the dogs before booking with us, and being attentive to their needs and our instructions while we were away. We got multiple updates, photos and videos and felt very comfortable the entire time. 10/10, Hope to book with you again soon if you’ll have us!

FAQs for House Sitting - Thorofare
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,414 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thorofare. 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 Thorofare 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 Thorofare 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 Thorofare 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.
