“Ryan was great! She stayed with our "pups" (as she cutely called them) for almost a week. Right from the start she sent texts, photos, and a sense that all was under control. Meeting her before the stay both her experience as a student working towards going to vet school and as a horse owner sealed the deal. We'd happily use her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we chose Ashley to stay in our home with our elderly dog Al. She was fantastic. Reliable, easy to work with, communicative, and so kind to our boy. I would not hesitate to call upon Ashley again and would highly recommend both her and Rover as a service.”
“Giana was such a great help to us when we had an impromptu over night trip. She was very communicative and sent so many pictures of our Shiloh! I would absolutely recommend booking with her and I can guarantee your pet will be happy too!”
“Alexis was a great sitter for our two big pups! She spent a lot of time with them and sent daily photos! She followed all the feeding and sleeping instructions and we came back to a clean house! She even left treats and cupcakes for us to give the pups on our return!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! Friends, family and other relatives have relied on me to make sure their animals were well taken care of and I provided! I can pretty much do whenever! Weekends are iffy but I’m willing to make adjustments as needed to make sure your fur babies are okay and happy! I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own who I play with and take care of daily! We play, have potty breaks, I bathe her and she would love to meet new friends!
“Skylar was well taken care of while away for a mini trip! Karren was great with keeping Skylar’s medicated eye drop schedule. It was wonderful to come back to a clean space and greatly appreciated! Thanks Karren for all of your help!”
“Kelly was a great communicator. Our dogs loved getting to know her. She was responsible with giving one of our dogs medication and following our routine. We wil be using her again for dog sitting needs.”
“Ruth was great with Brady, who can be very stubborn and set in his ways! She took amazing care of him and of our house while we were away. She was also totally flexible when we needed to come home from our trip a day early. We'd love to have Ruth stay with Brady again in the future.”
“We just came home after leaving our dogs with Nora for the first time, and I can say it was an overall great experience. She communicated well and quickly, followed our detailed instructions, kept great care of our dogs, and left our home in immaculate condition. She was reliable, trustworthy, and had a positive impact on our dogs' well-being. I was a little nervous as it was the first time we had worked with her. She sent a pic of the dogs with her the first evening that put me totally at ease. Highly recommend. - Mike”
“Sharyn was outstanding in taking care of our chow chow Khan. She did such a good job Khan barely missed us. She stayed at our home and took care of watering all our plants. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“I am a repeat customer of Rita’s and can’t stress enough how reliable and caring she is. Having used her services for the past two years, I can say with confidence that Rita will treat your pet as her own. I always feel at ease whenever she takes care of my dog Misu and can attest she takes her job very seriously. Misu is always so excited to see her 🥰. Rita has surpassed all my expectations, and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter or walker.”
“Nikki was amazing with our English Bulldog who we found out has kidney disease and needed to be brought to the vet everyday for 4 days for fluids. In addition to her loss of appetite and trying to get her to eat with all creative ways. Highly recommended!”
“Emma is the best! I have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of my boys while I’m away. She follows all of their care instructions carefully, and gives them lots of love. Thank you so much, Emma!”
“Thanks to Rebecca for taking care of our girl Skye. Excellent communication through the entire process as it was our first time using Rover. We would most definitely use Rebecca and Rover again. Loved the pictures. So appreciate the peace of mind of having professional care for our pet as we visited family.”
“Karla was amazing with my babies! When she came to meet them ahead of the booking they took to her right away and knew she was the right fit. She sent me so many pictures while I was away so I knew they were in good hands. I would definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yardville
Victoria provided wonderful care for our two dogs. She provided many picture updates during her entire stay which was really appreciated. You could definitely tell the dogs were well cared for and comfortable around Victoria. She also left the house clean and tidy! Looking forward to using her again to watch our dogs while we are away.
Marin was absolutely wonderful with our pups! We have two dogs—one young and full of energy, the other older and needing a gentler touch—and Marin did an amazing job caring for both of their unique needs. She was punctual every day for feedings and playtime, and she sent us regular updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. In the past, we’ve noticed our older boy would lose a bit of weight and seem down when we returned home—almost like he’d go into a little depression while we were gone. Not this time! Both dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We came home to wagging tails and excited pups. I would absolutely call Marin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Yardville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Yardville on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,241 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yardville. 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 Yardville 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 Yardville 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 Yardville 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
