About: Hi I'm Ryan! I've worked professionally in the animal industry for 5 years. I started my journey as a dog handler at a daycare. Now I'm currently a dog groomer, walker, and sitter. I also have 6 dogs myself! I have experience looking after dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and exotic pets. I can't wait to meet your fur babies. I have plenty of free time and would like for this to be my full time job for while! I do plan on going to a local college but other than that I'm pretty free for scheduling. I come to your house to make it easier on your pets. I'll stop in a couple times a day to feed, water, let them go outside, and play with them. I'll make sure your babies are not lonely when you are gone. I also offer luxury walks for your pups so they can get the exercise they need to stay happy and keep you happy.
“She went above and beyond to keep my dog happy during visits by playing ball with him as much as he wanted!! Brittney was also very flexible with the other animals in our house and family that showed up on her!”
“Lexi is the GREATEST. She took incredible care of our cats while we were away for almost 10 days. Incredible communication and she shows the animals absolute love and attention. If anyone wants the best care Lexi is your choice, there is no one else as good as her.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two pugs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, medications, senior dogs, and giving pets extra attention and affection while their owners are away. I also work in hospice care, so being compassionate, calm, and reliable comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re gone. I work full time during the week from 9am–6:30pm, but pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already care for my two pugs daily. I’m available for evening visits/walks on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I pay close attention during walks and outdoor time, especially in hot weather, and I never leave dogs outside longer than they should be. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and close supervision to keep them safe from anything that could bother or harm them. I’m also very mindful about keeping floors and spaces clear of anything pets could get into or accidentally swallow. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your animals, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own
About: My name is Belle, and I've been a passionate animal lover my entire life. From a young age, I've found immense joy in the company of pets, whether it's their playful energy, their comforting presence, or the unconditional love they offer. For me, spending time with animals isn't just a job; it's a true privilege. I work part time so I will have plenty of time throughout the day to tend to your animals and I am very reliable to communicate with I can build trust with you and your animals and I will always make sure what I will be doing with your animal is okay with you first

About: I’m one of the only people that could take care of my one friends dog because it was very mean. I stay at peoples house to watch their pets or just stop in throughout the day. I currently work full time, I go before work and then after work. If I’m not staying the night I go again before bed time. If I’m staying I go after work and then either get dinner or make dinner then stay for the night. When I’m taking care of others pets I do as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy, healthy, eating, drinking and doing their business. If something seems off I will inform the client to make sure it is normal for them. I want the clients to feel comfortable and sure their pets are being cared for while they are away.
About: I have years of experience with all kinds of pets, both my own and of my friends and family. This includes dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, pigs, cows, etc. I want to give the best possible care to your companions! I am currently in college which only keeps me away for about 3-4 hours at most a few days of the week. I work a part time job that allows me more flexibility in scheduling as well. I have a long lead for dogs in the yard that is tethered as well as a handheld 30+ foot leash for myself. I have a large and small crate that is accessible.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with neighbors and friends who have trusted me to pet sit for their beloved pets. Whether it’s providing daily walks, administering medication, or just offering some love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in reliable hands. I am currently a full time student and working a part time job but your pets will always come first! Their safety and comfort will be my top priority while with them. Since I have class I will typically be unavailable in the late mornings, but early mornings and afternoon/evenings I will be completely available. I take the safety and well-being of your pets seriously, and I ensure that they are always in a secure environment while in the comfort of their own home. I stick to their routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication, to minimize stress and maintain a sense of normalcy. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. From securely closing doors and windows to keeping dangerous items out of reach, I’m committed to preventing any accidents or escapes. You can trust me to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets since I was eight years old. Currently I take care of my bichon and bichon poodle in my home. I have pet sat Maine Coon cats, labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, basset hounds, beagles, and german shepherds. Additionally, I have experience that ranges from puppy care to senior care. I am more than happy to do a phone call or meet in person so we can get to know each other, or stop by to meet the pups before I stay with them :) I'm working part-time right now, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am super flexible and don't mind getting up early/leaving late. In your home, I am more than happy to accomodate the routines for your dog and the routines of your household. It's important to me to keep the dogs safe, utilizing baby gates, shutting doors/cabinets, and having fences as needed.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember! Over the years, caring for pets has become second nature to me. Beyond my own lifelong experience with animals, I’ve spent significant time taking care of pets during babysitting jobs, where I routinely handled feeding schedules, walking, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention while their owners were away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood, a belly rub, or a reliable routine to keep them feeling safe and happy, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own! As a full-time online college student, my schedule is exceptionally flexible! Since I complete my coursework from home, I am around throughout the day to keep your pets company, stick strictly to their normal feeding and walk routines, and provide frequent check-ins, play sessions, or cuddles whenever they need them. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for any pet! In my home, I have a medium-sized dog who is friendly and loves playing with other dogs, making it a great environment for social pups. Whether in my home or yours, I always ensure animals stay safe by keeping them securely on a leash in open areas and outdoors. When sitting in a client's home, I take great care to respect your space and strictly follow all house rules, feeding schedules, and care preferences so your pet’s routine remains as consistent and stress-free as possible.

“Cornell did such a wonderful job with my dog Biggie, he’s a year and a half old and has lots of energy! He went on walks and got to play with other dogs! I will definitely hire Cornell again and highly recommend him! He even came for a meet and greet before our scheduled visits, put my nerves at ease! Wonderful experience!!”
“Emily was fantastic. She was timely and communicated everything. She went above and beyond in caring for my dog Nala while I was away via Drop-Ins. Thank you so much Emily for giving me invaluable peace of mind while I was away! Would book again and again :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,702 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Abbottstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Abbottstown 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Abbottstown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
