About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, including Huskies, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and other large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. My love for animals only grew from there, and I now share my home with 3 lizards and a cat, so I have experience with reptiles and cats! I also spent a year working at a dog grooming salon, where I gained hands-on experience handling a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, anywhere from very energetic, to reactive, to shy and anxious pups. That experience gave me a deep understanding of dog behavior and how to keep every dog feeling safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet is laid-back or full of energy, big or small, I’m confident in my ability to give them the attentive, loving care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or scaly) family member! I currently work part-time with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily accommodate you, and your pets needs. Whether you need, mid-day walks, or someone to keep your pup company for most of the day, I can easily accommodate to your schedule. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs before anything else. I’ll do a meet and greet before you book so I can get to know your dog and their routine ahead of time. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing since I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Ashley was amazing! Took great care of my 3 dogs even after one just recently had surgery! Kept in contact with me and sent lots of pics! Thanks so much Ashley! I will be using you again soon!!”
“Ruth was excellent! I will use her dog sitting services as much as possible. She’s kind and loving to the dogs. She’s very responsive and sends lots of pictures, which I really appreciate. Look no further!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kira is wonderful with Peroni! She plays with him and keeps him engaged and communicates with me very well about how he’s doing during the day and overnight. Me and Peroni really appreciate her! :)”
“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: My whole life I have had dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I know how to cater to all personalities of pets. I have also pet sat for multiple friends and family for both dogs and cats. I enjoy being around animals and taking care of them with whatever they may need. I can pet sit about every other day, weekends as well.I can also do multiple days in a row if need be, I am open to also spending nights with the animals, whatever is needed for you. I am very attentive to my own dogs and will be very attentive to yours as well. I always make sure their needs are met. I make sure they are taken very good care of. I am very patient, especially with senior dogs. I don’t get frustrated easily. I provide love and care to all animals I come in contact with.
“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!”
“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.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Emma! I came to Rover with an unusual request: someone to stay at my home and care for my two baby goats… Emma not only accepted my unusual request, but she followed all their care instructions and went above and beyond to give them special attention and activity. It’s clear she’s a natural with animals and truly cared about my boys! She sent picture and video updates, which gave me such peace of mind for my first weekend away from them. She kept things neat and tidy and was simply the best! Thank you so much, Emma!”
“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.”
About: I've been trained as a dog groomer for about a year and a half, so if your dog needs maintenance on its coat I'd be more than happy to help. I've worked with many kinds of dogs from 4 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. I also have a senior dog, a yellow Labrador, 13 yrs. I'm currently on pursuit for a part time job, so have more time to take care of any animals right now! The only day that doesn't work for me is Sunday or anytime after 6:30 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. I would love to know your pets daily routine, likes and dislikes in order to provide the best service I can for your furry friend.

About: I have years of professional experience caring for animals as a veterinary technician, dog trainer, and shelter worker. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and pets needing extra attention or medication. I treat every pet with patience and care and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary depending on the semester. However, I’m usually available after 2 PM, with even more flexibility after 5 PM. I do my best to work around each pet’s routine and can coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pets receive consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. With my veterinary and animal care experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, administering medications, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries.
“Deanna was a wonderful sitter for our dusty in our home. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Our dusty was clearly looking for Diana for a few days after we returned home. We will be booking her again multiple times in the future. Thank you so much Deanna for a great job.”
“We had a great visit drop-in visit with Karren. She was available within 24 hours of me reaching out to do a meet + greet and also come by later in the day to meet our dog, Walter, feed him/walk him/play with him. She left our home tidy and sent cute pics of Walter. We look forward to working with Karren again!”

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.
Karen was everything I could ask for in a sitter for Charlie and then some! After using family members as sitters for almost 6 years it was necessary for me to find a new sitter for Charlie. Her caring ways got him through a record-breaking heat wave, the Fourth of July and ferocious thunderstorms. The pictures and video I received showed a happy dog playing all his favorite games with all his favorite toys. Karen watched Charlie at my house and left everything as good or even better than when I left. I was so happy and impressed coming home from an exhausting fun-filled trip. I highly recommend Karen and will definitely have her again.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Yardville Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Yardville Heights on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,555 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
