We are very flexible and allow all our furry friends to relax on the furniture and even sleep with us in the bed if they want! We want them to make themselves at home

I have complete and open availability. Wether your companion requires 5 minutes, or 5 hours, I have the ability to accommodate happily. I only offer at the clients home. I just feel that it is best for the pet that they are not pulled into an environment they are unfamiliar with. Wether your dog needs enrichment, snuggle time, ball throwing sessions, walks, feeding, simple potty breaks, whatever your loved companion needs, I am able to provide happily.
About: Thanks to my flexible schedule, I'm available at any time to care for your pet. Your beloved companion will receive affectionate attention and exceptional care from me. 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. This allows me the flexibility to regularly check in on my furry friends, spend quality time cuddling, and take them for walks as needed. The specific days may vary week to week. 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 $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $58 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 October 2026, there are 4,060 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 , 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.
