Amelia was amazing while watching our very energetic 6-month-old labrador puppy and our 10 year old cat! We utilized her housesitting services for the week while on vacation. We received updates and pictures of our pets throughout the week, which was awesome! We felt so relaxed on our trip, knowing that our pets were happy and safe with Amelia. She also took fantastic care of our house while we were gone, as well! We would definitely rebook with Amelia, and we would absolutely recommend her to care for your pets.

This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, including my own Pekingese and my family members dogs. Every dog to me are babies no matter how big or small they are. They deserve the best care which I can give them. I adapt fast to any type of personality. Dogs just like humans have their own unique personalities. I’m currently back from college and I have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I currently am looking for a part-time job which still leaves me with a lot of time to look after your pups. I have one friendly Pekingese, who can keep your dog company if needed. I will always make sure to clean up after the pups. I will always leave your home the same way it was when I arrived

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: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, administer medications when needed, provide companionship, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior needing extra patience, or simply enjoys cuddles and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. Communication is important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away for complete peace of mind. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free throughout the entire experience. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I pride myself on being dependable, flexible, and punctual. I work hard to accommodate my clients’ schedules whenever possible, including weekdays, weekends, and many holidays. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you’re away. My goal is to make your life easier while providing reliable, compassionate care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and take the time to build trust at their own pace. I’ll ensure they always have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and care I’d give my own.

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.

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 August 2026, there are 472 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:

  • 93% 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.
