About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had pets myself and I have pet sat for my friends and family for years. I am punctual and detail oriented. Whatever you and your pet need I will provide. I will always show love and respect to the pets I care for. I work at Mom's Organic Market 4 days out of the week so I have plenty of open days to take care of your pets. I live in an apartment and have a cat so my place would not be ideal for pets to stay over. Maybe another cat would be ok. I am open to that.
About: I have worked on a farm for the past 2 years caring for a wide variety of animals. I have also owned cats and dogs my whole life. I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time in my day to care for your animals! My schedule changes weekly but my availability will be adjusted based on my schedule. I am very detail oriented and will follow the owners instructions. I have a lot of experience with animals and thoroughly enjoy spending quality time with pets!
“TreDerica is wonderful. She showed a lot of care in learning Kenji’s routine and habits. And she rolled with the punches when my car wouldn’t start as I tried to leave the house! Looking forward to having her spend more time with Kenji.”
“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!”
“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”
“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!”
“Rob was fantastic while watching our dogs and cats! He kept us very up to date on their care and was friendly, kind and communicative. He came in advance to do a meet and greet and walk through of their care. We will defiantly hire Rob again in the future!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pet (dogs and cats) since I was 17. I’ve watched friends and family’s dog and have a fur baby of my own. She is a 12 year old sassy cat and I’ve raised her since she was 4 weeks old. I’m free Monday- Friday. I don’t work in office anymore so have the extra time to take care of your babies! Willing to work with your schedule. Only offer walks, pet sit at your house, over night watch at your house. No services at my house due to my sassy cat :)
“I will definitely be using Rich again for a puppy sleepover. He was great with communication and asked appropriate questions. Very reliable and trustworthy. Needed a last minute change while booking and he was extremely understanding and flexible. I felt at ease with all the adorable photos he sent of my fur baby. Definitely recommend. Also, went above and beyond what I asked. Thank you Rich!”
About: Caring for dogs isn't just a service for me—it’s personal. From 10 years of age my family and I have cared for Beagles, Pointers and Brittany Spaniels. Most recently have spent over 12 years caring for a Golden Retriever. I specialize in providing the gentle, attentive care that older dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced in working with puppies on routine and basic training. Whether your pet needs a slow-paced day with extra comfort or active puppy guidance, I treat every dog like my own with personalized attention and frequent updates. *Experienced with administering daily oral medications *Pet safety is paramount in my home or walks *Fenced yard for maximum peace of mind I retired from work 2 years ago. My routine revolves around spending plenty of time at home, which makes integrating pet care seamless and natural. Mornings begin with energetic outdoor time, feeding, and fresh water, followed by continuous monitoring and check-ins throughout the day. Because I am consistently present, I can closely follow your dog's exact routine—from midday walks and bathroom breaks to relaxing afternoons and structured evening routines. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my own home or visiting a client’s, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-proofed, and secure environment free from hazards, toxic plants, or loose items. I closely monitor pets to ensure they are comfortable, safe, and never left unattended in unsecured areas. When visiting a client's home, I strictly follow your household rules, keep doors and gates secure, and ensure doors/windows are locked during visits. I am also extremely mindful of home security, mail collection, and keeping the space clean, so you come back to a happy pet and a secure home.

“Heather watched our dogs overnight for our wedding and stayed overnight to take care of them until we got back home. One of our dogs has epilepsy and requires medication every 8 hours. Not only did Heather give her the medication each time but she also messaged us to let us know each time the medicine was given, which really put me at ease during a very busy day. She also sends lots of photos and was giving us updates about them all throughout which made us feel so relieved and grateful that they were being so well taken care during our most important day. I would absolutely recommend Heather!”
About: Have over 10 years of pet sitting and care experience. Have worked with different animals, and breeds of all different ages. Have my own form of transportation and lots of different availability. As well as currently taking the dog and cat CPR training class through the Red Cross. As someone who has pets at home pet care fits into my routine every single day. I make time throughout the day for walks, play time, etc. As well as prioritize time during the day if my pet needs medicine to give it to them. I care for pets in a clients home as if it’s my own home and pet. I am constantly with them and giving them attention. The schedule for those pets is my top priority. Also, if anything needs to be done around the house for the pet while at the clients home I take care of it. I fully respect the client’s home while I am there taking care of their beloved pet(s).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willow Grove
I had a family emergency out of state and Hailey was available, very last minute, so I was able to make plans to travel. With so much on my mind, worrying about Rosie wasn't one of them. I knew Rosie was in Hailey's competent and caring hands. My return home didn't happen as planned so I had to ask Hailey to come back -- after she'd left for the night-- to stay another night. I am so fortunate that Hailey was available and willing. I think this booking had about 5 modifications and Hailey just rolled with every one of them. Rosie and I are so fortunate to have found Hailey !!
Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!
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.💙💙💙
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

The average cost of House Sitting in Willow Grove is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $89 per night.

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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
