“Liz is great, our dog loves her. I thank her for time and care when we're away. It definitely helps us knowing our dog is cared for! For our next time away were definitely contacting Liz”


“Blayze was very accommodating and professional. She took care of both of our pups above and beyond expectations, and our one dog is a bit of a trouble maker. If you need a reliable dog sitter don’t hesitate to contact Blayze, 10/10 would recommend.”
“Lindsay took such good care of our two boys while I was away, taking extra care with our more timid dog and coming to meet him ahead of time. Her experience with dogs shows! Happy to have her watch our dogs anytime and really appreciate her patience.”

About: Growing up with dogs of all kinds, provided lots of experience when caring for dogs and including seniors with complex needs. I bring 30+ years of hands-on experience. I’ve managed long-term epilepsy care and I’m comfortable giving medications. I cook balanced meals and focus on nutrition, not just the basics. More than anything, I keep pets engaged, comfortable and safe, so owners can feel truly at ease. I am a jiu jitsu and yoga instructor, as well as a homemaker. My schedule is fairly open, and easily adjusted to accommodate your fur baby’s needs. I will follow any and all instructions provided for the safe & comfortable handling of your fur baby. When out of the house for a walk, I will ensure they are leashed and I will be always in full alert to prioritize your fur baby’s experience.
“We are so happy with the care Amanda gave Zuess! Very prompt, attentive, and met all his needs! We will def. Be requesting her again! It really means everything when you can trust the person coming to your home and caring for your pet when your away.”

“Jennifer was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and she helped us understand all the basics; she communicated well before, during and after; was very prompt; was able to adjust her time to come a little earlier when we were able to get there earlier; and was just all around great from a scheduling perspective. If my dog could leave a review, he would say she was terrific. I know thi because he settled down right away and was comfortable and relaxed when I returned home!”

About: Had pets my whole life. I walk all the time and know where to take them and have an SUV with enough room to fit them in. Have 2 children who adore all animals. I have a full time job, Tuesday through Saturday, but I’m usually home around 2-4 pm. I’m available every evening and can stop to let them out during the day because of my job flexibility. I love both ends of the spectrum. I love being active and taking dogs for walk/runs. I also love relaxing and cuddling with them and getting to know what their preferences. Will follow all strict diet rules and keep a very clean house to avoid unwanted eating restrictions.
“As always Rachel made our pups day! Lexi gets so excited and Rachel zeroes in on her wants and definitely spoils her. Makes our time away soo much more enjoyable knowing she is well cared for!”

I also love doggy cuddles and truly enjoy taking care of animals! I am currently a full-time student in Lynchburg, so I will only be available for pet-sitting in this area until May. I am absolutely willing to work with each client based on their specific needs to set a schedule that works best for everyone! Because I am only offering dog walking and drop-by services, it completely depends on your house and what care you typically provide for your pets!

I have over 5 years experience in both kennel work and pet sitting/care as well as pet grooming. I am able to administer medications and care for pets with all kinds of needs.

I am able to walk, feed, play with, and administer medications to pets of all kind. If boarding I will need specific care instructions of pets require medications of special routines as I want to make sure that your furry family members are able to keep their usual routine while everyone is away. I strive to create a good bond with my clients and make them as comfortable as possible. This includes both pets and pet parents!

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember, beginning with cats in early childhood. At the age of seven, I got my first dog, which further strengthened my passion for animal care. I later worked at a kennel, where I received hands-on experience and training in many aspects of pet care, including recognizing behavioral cues to better understand animals’ emotions and needs. During my time there, I learned how to administer medications and injections, including insulin for diabetic animals and supplements for those requiring daily care. I also gained experience working with handicapped dogs, including tripod and wheelchair-assisted dogs, as well as animals of various ages. In addition to my professional experience, I personally cared for my own senior dog, which provided me with extensive knowledge and understanding of senior pet care I am currently unemployed, so I am able to take anytime of the day for the next possible two weeks or so. Once I find a job, I will have more strict, set hours that line up with my new job. I have kennel experience which has provided me the training needed to take care of people's fur children while they are away. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as I worked with several of them while working at the kennel, and grew up with one of my own.
“My pets were happy and my house was still clean and tidy when I came home. Mark was very accommodating and flexible with his schedule. He also stepped in pretty late in the game before my vacation after my previous dog sitter canceled. Thanks for taking care of my babies :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,849 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cocalico. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
