We had a wonderful experience with Andrew and would absolutely recommend him! From the start, his communication was excellent; he was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Andrew was incredibly professional and took great care of our two cats. It was clear that he was attentive to their individual needs and genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well cared for while we were gone. We came home to two happy cats and everything exactly as it should be. It can be nerve-wracking using a new sitter for the first time, but Andrew made the entire experience easy and stress-free. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our cats and will be happily booking him in the future!

I usually leave Rosie with a family member when I go out of town, but this time I was in a pinch and didn’t have a family member available. That’s when I decided to try Rover. Well I couldn’t be happier because Logan was exceptional. He came a few days before our trip to meet us and Rosie instantly loved him! He not only took care of her but he played with her, cuddled with her and gave her lots of attention. We’re already planning for him to come back the next time we go out of town! Thanks Logan for your care and compassion for Rosie!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. My family bottle fed and raised kittens, I’m a 2 year old golden doodle mama! I’ve pet sat for a few different families, including overnight stays as well. The longest I have pet sat for was a week straight! I’m a very flexible sitter. Although I do work, I have very flexible hours. I am usually home all the time if not working, so your pet will get lots of attention and love from me! Every pet owner has different rules and boundaries for their pet. Please let me know what they are, and I will work alongside you to make sure your pet follows those rules and boundaries under my care!

Karen stayed at our house for a week and a half with our 5 cats and 110-lb dog. She sent pics and updates every day, and I could tell that my pets were calm and happy the entire time we were gone. One of our cats has kidney disease and is on a prescription diet, and our dog can be a handful because of how big and strong she is, but Karen handled all of them and their feedings and supplements with ease.

Thank you Lori for dog sitting. She is extremely reliable and receptive to new customers. Always gets back to you when you message her. Prompt and on time. My Nora had a good time will her and was well taken care of. Would recommend her to dog sit and would definitely call her again.

Eileen was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Maeva, Maude, and Vito, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent so many photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious they were well cared for and loved.❤️ She also left my home spotless, which I really appreciated. I’m so thankful I found her and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

About: in my years as a nanny, i often found myself responsible for family pets as well. it quickly became my favorite part of job. no matter what i’m doing in life, i always have dogs or cats to help care for. i have my own cats with various medical needs, so i am very accustomed to special needs animals. i have neonatal kitten and puppy experience, as well as having cared for many senior dogs and cats as well. do you have a kitten or puppy that can’t be left alone? i’m your girl! does your dog get antsy in the house all day? let me take them for a sniff n stroll! whatever the need, my love of animals drives me to give the best care i possibly can. i am currently finishing my degree online, so i have a lot of flexibility. aside from the occasional scheduled meeting or exam, i have the flexibility to be there for your pet whenever they need. i am very conscious of the fact that i am entering other people’s homes to provide pet care. i take the approach of hiking on a trail: leave no trace! the only indication that i was in your home should be a happy pet!

Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!

About: I have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for animals, with a special love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience caring for small dogs to large breeds, and I’m comfortable providing the individual attention and care each pet needs. Currently I have a very easy, open and flexible schedule. You and yours will be my #1 priority. My routine always works around you, and your furry friend. Depending on what services are needed, I am very open for different service options. I have no problem crating animals if needed/wanted. Treat/feed options as well.

About: I love dogs so much that I adopted a puppy for my dog, who I could tell wanted a friend. I am known to spend all day with my dogs taking them out on doggie dates. We often visit others at the pet store or at the dog park. My older dog loves to run and loves to meet other dogs. My youngest is an adventurer. I have been in a dog-friendly home since I was 9. Cared for my great grandmother at an early age and my first dog as well. I believe that paying attention to your dog is one way to learn from them about what they need. So you can give them the life they can love. Training-wise, I believe in positive reinforcement and the repetition of rewarding good behavior. I work full-time at home M-F, off weekends. My fianceé is home during the afternoon (and will be after COVID) and nights. His work schedule is mornings, off M-W. This makes us uniquely flexible to meet your needs. Our house is a one-story. So you do not need to worry about stairs. We live in a wooded community away from heavy traffic. We have dog runners, which allow the dog to roam outside at his or her own pace while supervised. We live near a dog park that is well-maintained and has separated fences for small or large size dogs. We have a puppy called Dudley and an adult dog named Duke at home that are very friendly and well socilaized. Dudley's favorite game is tug of war. Duke loves to run, meet dog buddies, and eat his bones.

About: Having been around animals my entire life, I recognize that every pet has their own special personality. Sometimes, beautiful personalities require more attention, love, or patience than others. Every pet I have owned has been rescued in some form or another, whether from a shelter or right off of the street, and each one has brought their own challenges, but also their own beautiful ways of showing love. I have no problem with jumpy, hyper, or "mouthy" pets, or any other behaviors that might be deemed "problematic". My life with all sorts of animals has allowed me to gain valuable skills, including being comfortable around pets of all sizes and shapes, handling "pushy" behaviors, and caring for senior pets with specific health issues. Allow me to offer a loving hand when yours is not available. While I do work full-time, my schedule outside of the office and ability to travel allows me the flexibility to accommodate for any pet's needs. My number-one priority has always been safety. I've worked in professional environments with animals, such farms and shelters, and carry with me the valuable lessons I gained from those jobs.

Lexie stayed in my home for four nights and did a wonderful job caring for my dog. She was attentive to all of his little quirks and made sure he felt comfortable and secure. One night he was upset by an animal outside, and Lexie even got up in the middle of the night to comfort him, a level of care that really shows her dedication. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Lexie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tobyhanna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tobyhanna. 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 Tobyhanna 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 Tobyhanna 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 Tobyhanna 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 Tobyhanna. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
