“Paz was the best pet and house sitter we ever had. She is very professional and excellent in her communication with you. She is wonderful with our dogs and took excellent, watchful care if them. Our house was super clean when we got home! She is outstanding!”

“Roxanne is a delight to have in our home. Our Yorkie immediately fell in love with her which made it much easier for us to leave her. We are thrilled to have found Roxanne and look forward to booking her again.”

“Faith took great care of our 2 pups! It was a last minute booking and she was available. She came over to meet the pups and get the lay of the land and the pups instantly took to her. I could tell they would be well taken care of.”

“Yujie is so kind and caring, and took such great care of our animals and our house while we were away. Our dog can be anxious with new people, but she felt comfortable with Yujie right away and was also so calm and happy when we returned from our trip as well! So glad to have found Yujie and we look forward to booking her again :)”


About: I am a natural with dogs, and they gravitate toward me quickly. For years, I have cared for the pets of friends and family purely out of love for animals. (Both daily walks and cared for them for weeks at a time, was known as Camp Kathy.) I pride myself on being incredibly dependable and punctual. Your home's security and your pet's safety are my absolute priorities. I maintain a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to easily adapt to whatever your week looks like—whether you need a midday walk while you are at work or drop-in care while you are out of town. I work wonderfully with all kinds of dogs. I am just as comfortable managing high-energy pups who need active exercise as I am building trust with sweet, timid rescues who need a calm, patient companion. I adapt perfectly to their unique age and personality, bringing reliable, high-quality care right to your dog's doorstep! I'd like to start by saying I take great pride in being reliable and punctual, so you can count on me to always arrive exactly on time for your scheduled visits. Right now, I am completely flexible every single day of the week! Because my schedule is wide open, I can easily accommodate your preferred timing for dog walks and drop-ins. Whether your pet needs a morning stretch, a midday potty break, or an early evening check-in, I am available to provide dependable care right when you need it. Safety is my top priority when visiting your home. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving. During our walks, I keep your dog on a secure leash, stay highly alert to our surroundings, and never let them approach unknown animals. Your pet's well-being and security are always my absolute focus.
“Kai and Devon were amazing pet sitters! They took very good care of our dog and communicated well. This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting and Kai and Devon were great. They sent pictures as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Mara, a loving, caring, and responsible pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs. Growing up with my two beloved pups, Bodoque (dad) and Junior (son) both being Maltese-French Poodle mix, I learned how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. I am bilingual (Spanish) and eager to accommodate pets of various ages and mobility. That’s why I’m saving up to become a certified Pet Communicator! Yes, you read that right—speaking with your furry baby to understand their needs and feelings even better. Your trust helps to deepen this connection and make this dream a reality.! Why Choose Me? I genuinely LOVE dogs, all kinds! Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s medication, extra attention, or just some tender loving care. My goal is to make sure your furry baby feels at home, safe, and happy while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. My husband and I recently lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Meatball, in 2022. He was 16 years old and the heart of our home. Although we miss him dearly, we have so much love to give. Think of us as the cool aunt and uncle who adore spending time with your pets! Beyond pet sitting, I aim to build a deep connection with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved during their stay. Your Pet’s care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love starting my mornings with a walk, which is the ideal time to take your furry baby out, especially before it gets too hot. If I know a pet is coming, I plan my day around their needs—whether it's scheduling walks, giving them their medicine, or just spending quality time together. And if I have to step out, my husband is always here to make sure your pet is cared for. When caring for your furry baby in our home, we treat them with the routine and love present on their own. My husband and I create a relaxed, loving environment where your pet is free to be themselves. Whether they prefer lounging on the couch, sleeping in bed with us, or sticking to a specific routine, we accommodate their needs to make sure they feel safe and at home. We're easy-going and flexible, and we even enjoy teaching new tricks! Your pet's happiness, wellness, and comfort are our top priority.
“Joanna really was the best. We don’t often leave our 70 pound Jimmy at home (typically board at daycare) but wanted to try it out with Joanna and Henry! They had a ball and Jimmy was so happy when we returned . Joanna is a true professional- respectful and communicative. So grateful I met her and would absolutely recommend!”

“Hannah was awesome! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking, including setting up a meet and greet in advance of my departure. During the weekend she gave cute updates and pictures, most of which included my needy pug happily curled up in her lap. Very appreciative!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with two dogs and a cat, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Now that I’ve moved out on my own, I really miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to spend time with yours! I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I want to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and help give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work a hybrid schedule. I’m in office Tuesday - Thursday and home Friday - Monday. I’m in office for 8 hours, but able to come home for an hour in the middle of the day. I live in a pet friendly apartment that has its own fenced in dog park as well as off leash run area. It also has plenty of walking trails for nice long walks.
“Extremely happy with our experience. Caitlin came to meet me and the dogs before I booked her. We felt very confident that she was a good fit. She was very accommodating as we were away for the holidays. Caitlin kept in touch the whole time our girls were in her care. We came home to two happy healthy dogs who were well-cared for. We definitely recommend Caitlin to anyone who wants to feel confident that their pets' needs will be fulfilled.”

“Misha was great! We could tell that our dogs were as good as ever when we got back - they were very well taken care of, even with our feeding routine, which is a little bit out of the ordinary. She spent a lot of time hanging out at the house with the dogs, which is what we really want for them when we are gone for a few days, and knowing they had company made it much easier for us to enjoy our getaway. We never needed to worry about them at all. We would love to have Misha stay with our babies again in the future!”

“We set up house sitting for our incredibly sweet, but anxious, mini goldendoodle (Myles) back in March for our July vacation. We wanted to establish a relationship very early on, so when it was time for vacation, Myles would be comfortable and less anxious. Unfortunately, our sitter canceled a week before vacation, basically negating our ability to get Myles comfortable before we left. Backs against the wall, we had to take a huge leap of faith and look into other arrangements, now with virtually no lead-up time to getting Myles acclimated. Benjamin came by way of referral and was only available to take Myles in during our vacation, which was a departure from our plan to have someone come to our home to watch Myles, but given the circumstances, we decided to schedule the meet and greet to see how things would go. During the meet and greet at Ben's home, it was apparent he was special; personable, easy-going, patient, welcoming. It was also clear Myles would have plenty of room to roam and play. Myles was unsurprisingly anxious, but Ben was confident Myles would eventually fit right in with his family and his dogs, one of which is also a goldendoodle! After leaving the meet and greet, we felt optimistic. As expected, at drop-off, Myles was a bit anxious. Ben sent us lots of videos, pics, and updates to show us how things were going. Within an hour or so after dropping off Myles, he started to warm up, and over the next few days, it was clear Myles was fitting right in with, not just Ben, but his dogs, too! Getting daily updates with new pics and videos was such a treat and something we looked forward to while we were away, and Ben never disapointed! When we picked Myles up after vacation, he looked happy and healthy. We have no complaints. We will be sure to use Ben going forward. We felt our fur baby was having his own vacation with Ben while we were away! We couldn't have asked for anything more; simply put, Ben is the best!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Providence
Lilly did an amazing job with my 8.5 year old pug. She stayed with him for one week and I was thrilled he was able to stay in his routine with minimal stress (4th of July fireworks and thunderstorms excluded). She was great with communication and daily pictures. I would highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.

Eva came through for us at the last minute when we had to travel unexpectedly for a family emergency. Our dog absolutely loved her from the moment they met and we felt reassured that she was in good hands with Eva throughout the trip. Eva gave her lots of love, reassurance, snuggles, and care while we were gone, even asking about our dogs preferences while we were away to make sure our pup had everything she needs. We would definitely book Eva again in the future and highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Upper Providence
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,487 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upper Providence. 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 Upper Providence 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 Upper Providence 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 Upper Providence 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.
