“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet and made sure to update us on how our pup was doing while we were away. She was very thorough in taking care of him. We will absolutely book her again when we go away.”

“Megan was wonderful. She sent photos and updates multiple times daily. She's very personable and bonded with my Pomeranian and Orange Tabby. She took very good care of my four cats and dogs while I was on vacation for 9 days. She came to my home twice for a meet and greet before I left to familiarize herself with my pets and the house. I will definitely use her again next year if she's available. I highly recommend! 👍❤️”

“If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to stay in your home and care for your pet, Kelly is amazing! She cared for our dog like she would her own and we returned to a clean house. Loved all the updates and photos she sent while we were away, definitely helped ease our minds that our boy was taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I can guarantee the peace of mind we all want in knowing our pets will be in safe, loving care! About me: I am 23, a Penn State grad (Psychology), and a huge animal lover- as well as an advocate for animal welfare. While I may not possess the skill set of a certified or trained professional, I am very knowledgeable and perceptive to feline and dog behavior, temperament assessment, signals of discomfort/boundary violation, and their needs for excellent care. I know my boundaries with what weight class I feel most comfortable working with, and for that reason I must clarify I cannot confidently handle dogs independently that weighing 50-60 lbs. I have raised and welcomed multiple dogs and cats into our family, adding to informal experience working with animals. I had also volunteered at my hometown’s local animal shelter for 3 years, ensuring all 30+ cats were well taken care of and living in adequate, clean conditions. If you would like to reach out and ask further questions, feel free to message me. I can/will provide my phone number via chat! If I accept taking on a job, it is because I can confidently provide adequate care without time constraints or other responsibilities to worry about. I care for every animal I am entrusted with as though they are my own. I look for creative ways to offer not only sufficient care but above-and-beyond care, like providing mental enrichment. There is no shortage of love and kisses and cuddles if I’m an animal caretaker.
About: I have been taking care of friends and family members dogs for about 8 years! I love animal especially dogs both big and small. I will do my best to meet any requirements you have for your animal to ensure that they keep their schedule! I currently am doing my clinical rotations for pharmacy school. Therefore I can take care of the dog in the morning and then once I get off I am free the rest of the night! I have a neighborhood to walk dogs throughout as well as experience with crates if needed. I have 3 dogs here that are pet friendly and can keep your animal company!

About: Experience & Background: Hands-On Fostering & Rescue Experience. My understanding of canine behavior comes from my experience as a dog foster. Fostering taught me how to support dogs of all personalities—from rescue pups adjusting to new environments, to high-energy dogs needing structured outlets, to timid pets requiring extra patience and gentle encouragement. Fostering trained me to read subtle dog body language, manage different temperaments safely, and strictly follow customized care plans, feeding schedules, and medication routines. Yes, I can give insulin if needed. Safety-First Approach & Dog Handling: Your dog’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. In addition to my rescue experience, I practice strict safety protocols during every visit and walk: Leash & Gear Awareness: Double-checking harnesses, collars, and leashes before every walk to prevent escapes or gear failures. My well maintained fenced yard has ample amount of room to catch some sunlight and run and play. Proactive Walking Habits: Maintaining full environmental awareness on walks—avoiding unwanted off-leash dog encounters, staying clear of busy street hazards, and pacing walks to match your dog's fitness level and the weather. Routine & Structure: Following your home rules and training cues consistently so your dog maintains their normal routine without unnecessary stress. Tailored Care for Every Stage of Life Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk, structured mental enrichment and playtime, or gentle companionship for a senior pet, I adapt my care to their exact physical and emotional needs. You can expect detailed updates and photos after every visit, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for. I currently work overnights and have all day availability. I can provide last minute drop ins, 30+60 minute outdoor walks and high energy runs in the rain, snow or shine. Hi, I’m Ryan! Whether you need active daily walks, structured drop-in visits, or attentiveness while you’re away, my goal is to give your dog a safe, fun, and fulfilling experience—and give you complete peace of mind. - High-Attention & Structured Care: I understand that every dog has different needs—from high-energy breeds that need solid physical exercise to timid pups that require patience and gentle encouragement. - Safety & Reliability First: I practice proper leash etiquette, maintain total awareness on walks, and follow your home and feeding routines to the letter. - Clear & Consistent Updates: You will receive daily updates with photos and videos as well as details on feeding, bathroom breaks, and activities after every visit or walk. - Dog Walking: Tailored to your pup's energy level, whether that means a fast-paced fitness walk or a leisurely one. I handle leash manners with care and always double-check secure gear before heading out. - Drop-In Visits & Sitting: Includes fresh water, scheduled meals, playtime/enrichment, mental stimulation, and any medication administration your pet requires. - Daily Routine: I stick strictly to the house rules you’ve established so your dog stays on their normal, comfortable schedule. - I am comfortable managing specific feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and special care instructions.
“Kiara did such an amazing job watching my pup! My pup is reactive and nervous around strangers and she followed all of my instruction on how to interact with him and everything went great!”

About: I have watched dogs before and I only watch small breeds who are fixed already. Large breeds I dnt watch . So contact accordingly please. I can watch 3 times a week right now as per my schedule and only small breeds who are fixed already and no dogs with prior bitting or attacking experience I have a backyard and a mini schnauzer to give your fur baby company and he gets along with kids and other dogs very well
“My family typically watches my dog, Stella, when I go out of town; however, this time we were all going on vacation together and I needed someone I could trust to take care of her. A friend recommended Rover and I gave it a shot. As soon as I read Joe's profile I knew he'd be a great match. Stella is a 4 year old pitbull so I wanted to make sure whoever I chose was comfortable handling a larger dog. Joe came over for a meet and greet and Stella loved him! Since this was the first time I left her in someone else's care I thought it'd be best for Stella to stay in her own home and have Joe come and visit. He visited multiple times a day for 5 days. Joe was absolutely great, he sent me daily updates with pictures and eased my mind so I could enjoy vacation. I will definitely use Joe in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive and passionate dogwalker. Thanks, Joe! -Ali ”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,065 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Bethany. 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 West Bethany 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 West Bethany 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 West Bethany 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.
