“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.”
“Genuine & Sincere, Ruth’s care for Bella was excellent. She made sure to meet Bella and myself before taking care of her. Was very punctual and great interacting and caring for Bella’s disposition which is extremely high energy especially for a boxer. Would highly recommend Ruth for any pet’s well-being and care!!!”
About: I am new to pet sitting but I have had 3 dogs of my own over the past 25 years. I love all dogs but I have experience with small senior dogs (I owned 2 min pins and 1 chihuahua all of which have passed). I have experience with senior care including giving medications, and the patience required with caring for a senior dog (all of my dogs were blind, deaf, and 2 had dementia prior to passing). I would love to help you care for your pet!! I am currently working full time on a rotating schedule so I have different days off during the week & every other weekend off. I am willing to help anyone, and those who don’t have a Monday- Friday. I no longer have pets in my home and will keep your pet on a leash and harness since I live in a condo. There is alot of open space to walk in my complex and vets park is directly across the street. I also have a pet stroller and blankets if needed
“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!”
“Marissa was wonderful. I was lucky enough to get her on very short notice to do in-house overnight visits with my cat. Marissa was professional, communicative, and generally gave me great peace of mind while I was away I will definitely be rebooking the next time I’m going out of town!”
“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.”
“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!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nikki is so amazing!! She sat for us for our honeymoon and was simply fantastic!!! Our pup is diabetic and needs insulin injections 2x a day, and she provided regular updates on his testing and overall well-being throughout the 6 days! She was great with sending photos as well! ?She took excellent care of him!! We couldn't have honeymooned without her!! I would highly recommend her and I would book again in a heartbeat!! Thank you again, Nikki, for taking such great care of our pup and house! ❤️”
“Boryana took amazing care of our senior pitbull, Brady. She was very patient with his quirks and eccentricities (e.g. he has acquired a habit of lying down for rests mid-walk). He often seems a little out of sorts after we come back from a long trip, but this time he was very relaxed and happy. Communication was top notch and our house was left in perfect condition. We can't recommend Boryana highly enough, and hope she'll be available to take care of Brady again in the future!”
“We've had Darlin pet-sit for us three times now, and every time she has been wonderful. Very communicative and caring. Also, our dog is always so well-behaved when we come home, she is great!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and Guinea pigs for the past 9 years. Makes sure my neighbors dog when out of town is fed, walked, bathed, and clothed. Currently working part time in social media management, so I’m home with more than enough time to cater towards fur babies! I’m available Monday through Saturday of every week. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood that even supplies bags for dogs. There’s more than enough room in my apartment for zoomies, crates, And most furniture that they are allowed on!
“Rachele was amazing watching my special needs (blind, deaf, and anxious) dog and cat while we were gone for a long weekend! We came home to a clean home and happy animals. She was easy to communicate with and asked all the right questions to make sure she knew the routine. 10/10 would recommend and definitely rebooking for future trips!”
About: Hello my name is Camila! I love animals. I currently have a 2-year-old American Bully dog named Thor and a 1-year-old cat named Sky. Since I was 9 years old I have had animals at home such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. In 2023 I lost my best friend, his name was Capo, a 13-year-old Pitbull, and then Thor and Sky came into my life to brighten my life! They are my best company! I have experience caring for animals with disabilities or illnesses since my 13-year-old dog suffered from an illness for 8 years under monthly treatments and daily medicine! If you are interested in my services, you can contact me I have a par time 4 years ago with flexible schedules and I have the time and patience necessary to take care of your animals in the best way I have a large Yard in case your dog stays at my house or if I have to go to your house as many times as necessary for your dog to feel accompanied, I will always have the time to be with him
“This was our third time using Josh for overnight stays, and he continues to be a really great sitter. His communication is excellent. He provides regular updates and is always very responsive. It's stressful to have your pets care (and your home) in someone else's hands. Josh's communication definitely helps us feel more at ease. We have a fenced yard, but Josh always takes Rider on walks which I really appreciate (as does Rider). Every time we've come home you'd never know he was there. He brings in packages, etc. which again, I really appreciate. We will continue to book Josh without question!”

Having raised my own dog from puppyhood through his senior years, I bring valuable experience in puppy training and senior pet care. I currently follow a hybrid work schedule, primarily working from home.

On days when I work from the office, I am available to visit after 5:30 PM. My community complex has two dog parks which I can use to give off leash exercise. The area is also great for taking a stroll (on leash) and getting those steps in.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yardville
Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our pups. She is a kind person who has a lot of heart when it comes to caring for animals. She was communicative and responsive in keeping us up to date on how her stay with our pups. Liz left our home just like we left it and went above and beyond to do things that we didn’t even ask her to do. We highly recommend Liz and will certainly have her back to care for our pups.
Rachele was amazing watching my special needs (blind, deaf, and anxious) dog and cat while we were gone for a long weekend! We came home to a clean home and happy animals. She was easy to communicate with and asked all the right questions to make sure she knew the routine. 10/10 would recommend and definitely rebooking for future trips!
Kira was amazing and took amazing care of my dog, cat, and home this weekend. She was extremely responsible and responsive. She kept up my pets routines and kept me updated with pictures. My pets loved her and I came home with zero stress about their care. Would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again!
Maci was an absolutely wonderful sitter. She took special care to us and our make our dog, Chopper feel comfortable. She was responsive, professional and a joy to work with. She even got Chopper a new harness! Would 10/10 recommend her and look forward to working with her again.
Danielle was perfect for us and for our dog Sid from the moment of contact with her. Thoughtful, responsive, kind and altogether wonderful. She took care of our dog during our wedding weekend so we could focus on having the best weekend ever with no worries. He was there to walk down the aisle and she assisted with that, too! You couldn't ask for anyone better than her! We hope to keep in touch with her and see her again even though we live in another state. My dog loved her, too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Yardville is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $35 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,078 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yardville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
