“Rosie had a great time with Danielle and was very well cared for :) Danielle kept us updated with frequent messages and photos. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby!”
“Ashley was EXCELLENT. She stayed at our home for 17 days while we were on a European vacation. Communication is one of Ashley’s biggest strengths. She kept in constant touch, asked questions about things she needed to clarify and above all gave our boxer girl a heap of love and affection. House was in perfect order when we returned. Will definitely hire her again.”
“Alexis was truly fantastic. She sent tons of updates and spent so much time with our girls so they felt totally at home. She kept the house in the same shape we left it and I have already re-booked with her. Can’t wait for her to come again!”
“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.”
“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!”
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!
About: I have had many different animals in the past my favorite being my Rottweiler scooby I love Him the most but I also had snakes rabbits cats parrots turtles and much more I always had a connection if they accidentally bit me i would try to see what caused it and prevent that from future scenarios I'm currently working part time so ill be as attentive as I possible can during my stays with my lovely furry friends. Would love to meet with as many of them as I can I have a automatic pet food feeder and always give them daily showers and proper nail trimmings and everything they need to be pampered and happy
“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.”
“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”
About: I have much experience with pups! From corgis to golden retrievers to Bernese mountain dogs, I have cared for dogs dating back 5 years. I enjoy playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need while you are away!! 🥰❤️ I currently work full time, but have flexible hours as some weeks I have plenty of time during the week and weekends. Pretty open to any hours as long as I'm off!! I will make sure your dog is cared for and played with while I walk them and/or are with them!! 😆 Whether it's taking them out for the bathroom, walking around, or just keeping them company.
“Pat did a great job taking care of the pups while we were away. We felt so safe leaving our babies and home in Pat’s care. Highly recommend hiring Pat for all your pet needs.”
“Abigail sat for us while we were away briefly. Really good experience. She's very nice, was on time, kept us informed and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy and were able to keep to their routine, and importantly, they like her very much. Highly likely to have her sit or pop in again soon.”
“Rebecca watched my dos and cats for two nights. She was friendly and caring for the animals. She even took pics of the dogs while I was away to see how they were doing. I would recommend Rebecca’s services and will definitely use her in the future.”
“My pup Rocky and me were visiting the area for the holidays again, and Rita watched Rocky for a second time on Christmas Eve. She’s so great with him and I was ease knowing he’d be safe and cared for while I was out!”
“Ashley took excellent care of my greyhound and cat! My dog is older and has some special care requirements (supplements, diapers, anxiety) and Ashley had no issues managing it.”
“Kelsey was amazing! She stayed at my place for 5 days with my dog and he loved her. She sent photos all weekend of how he was doing and kept me updated so I was at peace. I highly recommend her.”

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog sitter Ashley! From the moment we met, I knew my dogs were in caring and capable hands. They were treated like family, and I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. I will definitely be using her again!!
Radenis is such a pleasure to work with. He stayed in our home while we were away and took care of our two dogs, who each have very different personalities (our small dog is a total lapdog and our larger pup is very people shy). Radenis took exceptional care of both of them and even gave some extra attention to our small dog who had just gotten over a serious illness. We hope he’ll become our “go to” sitter. Thanks for everything Radenis!
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 Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Yardville Heights on Rover is $52.24 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,670 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yardville Heights. 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.
