“Autumn was amazing! My animals LOVED her and she was great with sending me updates about them (I'm so nervous leaving them so this was a great peace of mind). I definitely will be using her in the future!”
“Bethany is hands down your go to person for the best dog care. She went above and beyond to help our senior frenchie . She kept us up to date on everything and cared for Layla like she was one of her own. Thank you!”
“Andrew did a great job house sitting for our 3 pups. He was very patient with our German Shepherd (she has separation anxiety), and confident that she would eventually adjust to him being there- and she did! She even slept near Andrew! Andrew sent photos daily of the pups! They were in great hands! We would feel very comfortable leaving our pups with Andrew again! Also, our house was kept very neat upon our return home.”
About: I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m your pet’s new best friend. What sets me apart is my genuine love for being around dogs and my natural ability to comfort and connect with them. Whether it’s a long walk through the park, a splash in the water, or simply sitting together for quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I believe exercise, play, and affection go hand-in-paw, and I bring all three to every visit. Your furry family member will get my full attention, plenty of tail-wagging adventures, and the kind of care I’d want for my own pets. I offer temporary pet sitting and dog walking in the area while I’m in town, as my work and love for travel take me around the world. When I’m here, I’m fully dedicated to caring for your pets—providing companionship, exercise, and comfort until you’re back. My schedule is flexible during my local stays, so whether you need daily walks, weekend care, or short-term pet sitting, I’m happy to help. When I care for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and attention as if it were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident when someone else is looking after your furry family members—and your home—so I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and dependable presence. From securely locking doors to following your pets’ routines exactly as you request, I make sure every detail is handled with care. Your pets will receive plenty of love, comfort, and attention, and you can rest easy knowing they’re safe, happy, and right where they feel most at home.
About: My family has had a pet dog for my entire life. More recently I adopted two older dogs from the area shelter and provided them both amazing years of love and comfort. I am a client support contractor which allows flexibility in my daily schedule to care for your pet needs. I have availability generally on shorter notice. Pets are family. I will follow your specific requests to address any concerns, individual behaviors and unique pet personalities. Each of our special friends deserve it.
“Cristel is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and Cristel took great care of my two boxers. She sent photos and updates all day and you could see my dogs were happy even though I wasn’t home. Highly recommend Cristel!”
About: I am an experienced dog groomer who worked at Petline Grooming for 1.5 years. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs of all breeds and sizes of all temperaments/behaviors. I have lived with 3 dogs throughout my entire life. Since I was old enough to be independent, I was helping to feed and take out my dogs. More than that I love to make sure my dogs are properly enriched by taking them on daily walks and investing in new toys for them. I am an animal lover who would love to take care of your pets! I have lots of availability and plan on doing pet care full-time for the time being. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. I have access to a partially fenced in yard and multiple leashes and crates. At my house, I currently have a friendly dog who will keep your dog company. I am willing to take on any specific or special requests to ensure your pet is most cared for and loved properly!
“Carly did a great job staying with our two pups for a week long vacation. She was attentive and kept in touch, sending pics and even watered our plants! I would highly recommend her and will use her again when she's available!”
“Liz was absolutely amazing. This was the first time I’ve ever left either of my dogs with someone outside of our family so I was super nervous(and my one dog is 14). Liz came over for an interview and immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew she was the right choice. We were gone two nights and in those two nights she sent me constant videos and pictures of both dogs. I could tell they were loving her which made me love her even more. She left the house so clean, I couldn’t even tell she was here. We will absolutely be having her come to stay on our next trip again and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. She proved to not only be trust worthy with our home but with our fur babies too. Thank you Liz for everything you did 🐾🐶”

About: My family has owned a pet sitting business in Stroudsburg, called IOU Pet Care, for 15+ years. The first job I ever had was going to people’s homes and walking their pups for an hour, checking food and water bowls as well as litter boxes, or even staying the night there. For the past 15 years, since I was 15 years old, I’ve cared for almost every species of house pet you can think of, in just about every way that the owners needed. I genuinely love animals. Playing with them, training them, caring for them, it’s such a rewarding experience for both of us. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, and they make my life so much better. I’m always building cat walls and catios, new interactive toys for the dogs, and whatever else I can do to give them all the best lives they could possibly have. When working with my family’s business, it’s always been “customized pet care needs.” I plan to stick with that. I have no allergies. I’ve cared for all ages and sizes of cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and probably a few other species that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. I can walk, hike, run, feed, clean up after, and administer some medication to a vast majority of your pets. Let me know what you’re looking for, and as long as I can do it, I will!
“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”
“We can’t recommend Alexandria enough! Her first time sitting for us involved rain/snow and she was flexible with everything that comes with dogs and weather! She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs. Was a huge relief to know they were well taken care of and happy with her! We will defiantly book with Alexandria again!”
“Ashley was amazing our dog bonded with her immediately and she went the extra mile to do a meet and greet prior and arrived on time and stayed until we got home even though we were delayed. She gave our dog daily medication and sent many photo updates throughout the stay. She was super tidy and we will be a repeat customer for sure and loved having our dog in such capable hands.”
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 879 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Pen Argyl. 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 Pen Argyl 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 Pen Argyl 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 Pen Argyl 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.
