About: I absolutely love animals and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I enjoy making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I also have experience administering insulin injections to cats, so I am comfortable providing extra care for pets with special medical needs. Having been retired for two years, I have the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your furry family members! I am happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs whenever possible. I prefer going to the client’s home, as I feel it is a more comfortable setting for both me and your pet. For dog sitting, my home does not have a fenced-in yard, so I would need to keep them on a leash when outside. That being said, I am happy to host pets at my home for shorter periods of time if needed. My goal is to provide reliable, loving, and attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away!

“We had a wonderful experience with Zachary! He stayed at our home for four nights while we were away, and we came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! Luna absolutely loved him, and it was clear she was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Zachary was great about communicating and regularly sent us photos and videos, which we really appreciated. He even went out of his way to spend time with our rabbit, Miso, who didn’t necessarily need much care, and sent us updates on her too! It was so sweet seeing her warm up to him. He was respectful of our home, attentive to our animals, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Zachary again and highly recommend him!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I often pet sit for friends and family. When I am visiting anyone with a dog they typically get most of my attention! I work full time during the week, however I am free most all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I do have some evening availability during the week from 5 pm to 8 pm.

“Imani was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we started talking, she was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. She took such amazing care of our boy, Blue, and made sure we were updated throughout our time away with messages and pictures. She went above and beyond to make him comfortable and followed his usual routines. She was also incredibly respectful of our home and even took the time to tidy up before leaving… which was such a thoughtful surprise.☺️ As someone who can be a little anxious leaving their fur baby behind, having someone so communicative, caring, and dependable made all the difference. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are so grateful to have found Imani and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets as much as they do. We can’t wait to have her watch Blue again! ❤️”

“Serena was so kind and patient with our dogs. On the initial meet, she really took the time to earn the trust of our corgi who is protective and fearful submissive. She was loving to our old dog who has trouble getting around. We received many updates from her and could tell the dogs were very comfortable with her and well cared for. She’s also prompt in communication and very friendly. Would highly recommend Serena to anyone with furry ones!”

About: I’m a compassionate and caring individual, a dog doesn’t get by me without a tickle under the chin and a rub of the ears. I just love all fur babies. I’m looking for a new career, I’ve been working with the elderly for the past 14 years. Now I would love to give my love and compassion to my four legged friends. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. I will make sure we follow your guidelines for walks and play dates.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family & friends over the years, and I’m looking to pet-sit/house-sit more often by using Rover! I have experience with dogs and cats. I mostly stay in the home while the owner is away to maintain stability for the pet, while owners are away on trips. I love spending time with animals and snapping funny or cute photos of them to share with their owners while they’re away! I’ll take good care of your fur-baby and show them lots of love! I’m available for walks, feedings, potty breaks and play time for individual days or several days at a time! I work full time M-F but can work remotely from your home and take breaks! I believe that pets are most comfortable when we stick to their schedules, so I do my best to keep to them! I also enjoy texting photos and updates to their owner.

About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and caring for pets is something I take seriously. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I aim to follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I work full-time at QVC on an overnight schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I'm happy to coordinate with pet owners in advance to find times that work for both of us. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I will follow the owner's instructions and stick to their pet's usual routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for the way they're used to. I regularly take my own dog, Max, on walks and will make sure to follow each owner's preferences for walks and outdoor time.

About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::

FAQs for House Sitting - Cocalico

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 989 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cocalico. 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 Cocalico 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 Cocalico 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 Cocalico 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 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cocalico. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
