“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Fandi and Martin were extremely kind and attentive to Chloe during our week long vacation. We received just enough communication to allow us to know Chloe was in good hands! Thank you very much for keeping her busy and keeping her safe!”
“Excellent communication and was very responsive to my request for a sitter. Sent videos and photos of my dogs to keep me updated. The dogs looked to be having a blast with her. Would use her again.”
“This was the first time we’ve had an overnight dog sitter. My pups were a little anxious at first but eventually warmed up to Isaiah and looked happy in the last pic he sent. He stayed in great communication and gave great updates. We will definitely use him again!”
About: Hi! My name is Maura. I’ve owned and cared for dogs for most of my life. I also have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens and horses. I’m an experienced house and pet sitter— I’ve cared for both grown animals and little ones alike. I’m comfortable providing company, keeping the animals on a schedule, and even continuing training schedules while you’re gone. I can provide references if needed! At the moment I’m in-between jobs, having just completed a summer internship abroad. So most of my day is spent job searching. I like to get outside and go for walks or runs on the daily, so oftentimes I’ll take my dog with me. I am also a moderate early-riser. I’m naturally up around 7:30, and I’ll usually feed the pets first thing. However, I do get up earlier if that’s the schedule the pets are on! When it comes to taking care of the pets in your home, I usually try and follow the established routines that they’re already used to. Throughout the day, I’ll take breaks from whatever chores or work I’m doing on my computer to spend time with the pets, playing or walking outside. Sometimes we just sunbathe ☀️ while I read a book in the late afternoon. It depends on the pet, but generally it’s just a lot of spending time together!
“Saint loved her as soon as he met her, which was a great sign! She was so caring, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pictures. We really appreciated how great she was with him and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Alexys provided house sitting for us for ten days. She did a phenomenal job, kept us updated frequently, and followed our instructions beautifully. She was respectful of our home and maintained it well during her stay. We would invite her back to sit again! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Nutmeg.”
“Maggie had a great time with Alex! He was very attentive, kept me updated and made my very anxious girl relaxed. We will definitely use him again to keep Maggie company!”
“I can't recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to our fur babies and honestly Winnie was totally spoiled with picnics and play dates while we were away. I hope we can have her back with us for our next trip!!”
“Zoey is excellent. I highly recommend her. She did pet sitting for us, 2 overnights for our 2 small dogs. She kept us updated and sent pictures of the dogs regularly. She was very affectionate and loving with our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Dana was fantastic! He stayed with our large pitty mix and loud cat for 5 days and handled them both with ease! I appreciate that he really stayed at our home. He communicated regularly with amusing stories and photos. Would definitely work with him again!”
“We have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasn’t a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!”
“From the “meet & greet” weeks ago to arriving home today after her first stay with our two dogs, Hailey was friendly, communicative and timely which is always appreciated. She left the house clean and the dogs happy. We look forward to having her dog-sit again!”
About: Despite being an dog lover for as long as I could remember, I didn't get to own a dog until 2021! Although I'm a little late to the game, owning my dog has taught me so much about dog behavior and animal nutrition. My pup is reactive so I have taken numerous training classes to help him, and I'm actively working on these issues, meaning not only do I have experience with reactive dogs, but I've also gained a ton of knowledge and information about canine behavior and training. I've also fostered puppies for my local dog rescue several times, so if you are having trouble with your new pup, I can take that stress off of you! I'm currently a full-time remote employee, which makes it incredibly easy for me to drop in by your house, have your pup stay with me, and/or house sit for ya! I do have a pup of mine at home, so any house sitting will need to be booked at least a week in advance, but other than that, I am available 7 days of the week for drop-ins and boarding! Safety is the number priority in my house so with that being said, if you decide to have your pup stay with me, I will keep them separated from mine! It will be a crate and rotate situation, just to keep both dogs and humans safe, but don't worry, they will get tons of exercise and treats when out! I have a fenced in yard at my home so if your pup loves to run around, they will get lots of it! But if they prefer walks, my neighborhood is quiet and has lots of smells for your pup to take in!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Willow Grove is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willow Grove
We had a wonderful experience with Rosemary K! She cared for our three dogs in our home on the day of our son’s wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the attention and love she gave them. We needed someone on short notice, and Rosemary was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent us pictures of our dogs, giving us complete peace of mind so we could fully enjoy such an important family occasion without worrying about them\. We highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter\. Thank you so much, Rosemary K.💙💙💙
Fortunately Hailey was available to care for Rosie while I was away for almost 2 weeks. It’s always a huge relief when she is available! I know Rosie will be at home, well cared for, happy and content. I know Hailey will check in with me but knows what to do in the very likely event I am without WiFi and can’t respond. I can relax while away knowing that Rosie is in Hailey’s capable, loving hands.
We had such a wonderful experience with Kyle! He took amazing care of our dogs while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. His communication was fantastic. He kept us updated, sent pictures, and made it clear that our our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for! It’s always hard leaving your pets behind, but having someone you can trust makes all the difference. We came home to two very happy dogs! We would absolutely recommend Kyle to anyone who needs pet sitting! 🐾💛
This was this was my first time using Rover. My dog unexpectedly went into heat and we had to make alternate plans for her care. Christian responded quickly and efficiently. We felt fully confident in leaving our dog with him, even though she was requiring additional care and Grooming due to her heat. I would absolute him again!
Jane was great! Benny and Murphy had a wonderful time with her and she sent photos regularly. Even when they woke her up very early, she sent a photo of them snuggling before she got some more rest. Would definitely book again! Thank you Jane for taking care of our babies
I trust Ally to take care of my baby because she reads his behavior and needs the same way I do. For example, when it’s super hot out she keeps his walks short and utilizes the pool and indoor activities to make sure my dog gets the exercise he needs! She’s naturally an amazing dog sitter!

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 Willow Grove 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 Willow Grove 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Willow Grove 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.
