“Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with Quincy! She was incredibly attentive during her overnight stay. As a Type A dog parent, I provided a very thorough Quincy care document with everything she needed to know about Quincy and our home. Adrienne did a fantastic job taking notes, asking thoughtful and detailed questions, and making sure Quincy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. She was also very respectful of our home and took great care of everything while she was here. Although this stay was only one night, I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with Quincy. We’re already looking forward to her upcoming stays!”
“We were going out of town for a few days and hired Katie to stay at our home with our dog Chester. When I first contacted her through Rover, she was quick to respond and seemed excited to meet Chester initiating a meet and greet which I appreciated. She was punctual (which means a lot to me), asked appropriate questions, and kept me up to date on her schedule in case we needed later assistance on the day we were returning home. I leave a lot of instructions and she followed them exactly. We returned home to a very happy dog and a home just as we left it. Hire Katie! You won't regret it.”
“Caleb was a pleasure to have watch our pups and house. He was flexible on schedule, and the dogs took to him right away. The house was left in good condition. We would definitely recommend.”
“Laurie did an amazing job. She came to meet our dog first before sitting and he immediately loved her. She was a great communicator, and shared many great photos while we were away. She also asked some great questions that proved to me she cared about our pet’s wellbeing.”
“Olivia was given the task of caring for my 5 year old cocker spaniel who recently had meniscus surgery. She did a great job keeping my girl happy. She showed up on time and has an easy going manner. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Sabrina is the absolute best!!!! I feel so blessed that we found her. She’s such a kind person with the sweetest energy. The animals flock to her!! She’s the only person we’ll be using from now on.”
“Our dogs love her and the house was left perfect after she left. One of our dogs is old and needs care every 4 hours or less and some pills. He is also deaf and uses sign language to communicate. She was able to handle all of this no problem. Booking her again for our next trip!”
“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me, I stared pet sitting for my neighbors when I was 10 years old, and over the years I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters and fish. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping them company. Im committed to providing reliable, attentive care and treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. I work full time but am available evenings, nights and weekends. I respond promptly and am happy coordinate that works for you, your pet and my availability. My priority is creating a safe, comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow homeowners’ instructions and routines while providing plenty of attention, care and companionship.
“I could not have asked for a better person to watch my pups! He provided consistent updates with photos throughout our 4 day trip, he was able to extend watching them past the agreed date due to flight mishaps. I have two very high energy dogs, that love to bark and pull during walks, I personally walk them separately. Devon was able to work on their behavior and etiquette preparing for and during walks and has consistently been able yo walk them together. On some personal thoughtful notes: Some of my orchid flowers dropped and he pressed them for me. And he even left us a welcome home note with some treats for the pups. He is such a kind and thoughtful person, never using anyone else!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals! From growing up in a house full of all kinds of animals and currently being a proud dog mom of 3 and snake mom of 1, to pet sitting through my teen years, to volunteering at a special needs dog sanctuary for 3 years.. there is nothing I feel more comfortable doing than hanging out with and caring for furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I am available for care all hours of the day or night weekdays and weekends! I’m happy to do late night or early mornings 😊 I want more than anything to provide everyone that trusts me with their furry babies peace of mind knowing that with me, they are genuinely safe and will always be treated like they are my very own. To say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement, and I understand more than anyone the fear of unknowns when leaving your pets with a new person and I hope I can alleviate that stress from both you and your pets. From the bottom of my heart, you can trust that when your pets are with me they are in a safe space and being treated with love, care, and consideration!
About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising a dog from 9 weeks old to his current 13 years. I’ve been there every step of the way, from puppyhood to adulthood and senior years. Plus, my dog tore his ACL, so I know firsthand the challenges of keeping your pet safe and out of harm’s way, along with the need for special care and instructions. I am currently a senior student athlete in college with a flexible schedule. I wanted to find a part-time job that I would actually enjoy, and I have always loved being near animals. Coming back home to my dog is always the highlight of my trip, so being near dogs and getting to see the joy on their faces has always made me smile. I think pets are happiest when they’re in their own space, so I’d rather work at someone else’s home. Plus, getting to know the dog and the pet owners will really help everyone feel more comfortable.
“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”

“Ken watched my pups for a week while I was away. He was amazing. He kept me informed daily of their activities. He sent pics. He definitely made me able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing that the pups are in good hands! Definitely will be calling Ken again.”
About: Responsible and caring dog lover with years of experience providing reliable walking and sitting services. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and genuine affection, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away. Known for clear communication and dependable care, I'm committed to making each visit a positive experience for both pets and owners. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy taking care of other people's pets and treat every animal with the same care I give my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away.

I believe in keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands.
“Mabelyn took very good care of our pets (dog and cat) and our home over a long weekend. We would not hesitate to ask Mabelyn to pet/house sit for us in the future, and we provide our highest recommendation! The communication was great from initial contact to meet and greet. We could tell from the pics she sent that the pets were well cared for and enjoyed their time with her. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for home, so could not ask for any better than that!”
About: I’ve had dogs for years and honestly really miss having one around, so Rover feels like a great way to get some dog time without officially becoming a dog owner again just yet! I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs, and have dog-sitting experience. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, letting dogs out, giving them attention and companionship, and sticking to their normal routines. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or quirks your dog may have. Do you have fish? I can feed them for you too! My availability is flexible and can vary from week to week, but I’ll always communicate clearly about what I’m able to take on. I work full time, but I primarily work remotely, which gives me some flexibility during the day for pet care. I’m also generally available on weekends. My availability can vary from week to week, so I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and make sure the timing works for both you and your pet. I’m unable to host pets in my home, so I provide care in the client’s home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they’re comfortable, fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you leave for their care.
“Alyssa was great with Miguel and Scotty, my cat and dog. Alyssa communicated with me and sent pictures ensuring I felt comfortable about leaving my fur babies. My house was left in perfect order for when I returned from vacation. I would recommend Alyssa without reservation!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Adamstown 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 Adamstown 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Adamstown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
