About: I have 8 months of experience walking a dog regularly and stopping in to check on her, ensuring she was safe, exercised, and cared for. I also have two dogs and a cat of my own, giving me hands-on experience with pets of different needs and personalities. I am currently working full-time on second shift, but I would love to spend some of my mornings with furry friends. I am off every other weekend and would be available to help with pets! I have a fenced yard at my home and walk my dogs every day. My cat spends lots of time running throughout the house, and has a spot where all of his toys are.
“Jule instantly put us at ease during our meet and greet. She was wonderful to our special needs dog and diva cat! They were both instantly comfortable with her and so was I. She even sent pics during our visit where our cat was out to greet her for food, and our doggy was happy and relaxed outside. Will definitely be repeat customers, so glad we found her!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, caring for animals throughout New Jersey, Philadelphia, and now Northeast Pennsylvania! 🐾 Growing up with a Boxer-Lab and a Husky sparked my love for animals, and today I’m a proud dog mom of three: two mature boys (a Terrier mix and a German/Dutch Shepherd mix) and our newest addition, a female Dutch Shepherd. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahuas to Australian Shepherds and everything in between. I also have plenty of hands-on experience with working breeds, including Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, and Dutch Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with high-energy, intelligent, and strong-willed pups who need extra exercise, stimulation, and patience. My animal experience goes beyond dogs, too! I’ve owned and cared for cats, farm animals, reptiles, including turtles, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, and snakes, as well as birds and small rodents. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, or specialized care, I’m happy to help make sure your furry (or scaly or feathered!) friend feels safe, loved, and cared for! My daily routine with my three dogs revolves around exercise, enrichment, consistency, and plenty of love! 🐾 All three get daily walks and lots of outdoor time to play, explore, and enjoy the fresh air together. We start the morning with a walk, followed by meals, playtime, and relaxation throughout the day. Our 7-month-old Dutch Shepherd puppy keeps me on my toes! We work on training and mental enrichment 2–3 times a day in 10–15 minute sessions to keep her mind stimulated and continue building good habits. We also incorporate sensory toys, interactive play, and plenty of positive reinforcement into our routine. One of our dogs is a service dog who spends most of his day working & getting his enrichment & play while on the road, while our Terrier mix is more of a couch potato who loves his walks, sunbathing in the yard, and relaxing with the family. We finish the day with another walk in the late afternoon and a final nighttime walk with the whole pack. My dogs enjoy two hearty meals a day, lots of cuddles, outdoor adventures, and a balance of activity and downtime. Having three dogs with different ages, energy levels, and needs has taught me how important it is to tailor care to each individual pup. I love creating a routine where every dog feels happy, stimulated, comfortable, and loved! While I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and house-sitting in your pet’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment! 🐾❤️ Drop-In Visits: I typically schedule 2–3 visits per day, depending on your location and your dog’s needs. Visits can include walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, trips to the park, and plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every household is different, and if your dogs need separate care times, individual walks, or one-on-one attention, I’m comfortable accommodating those routines. House Sitting: I can provide all the same care throughout a longer stay, helping maintain your dog’s normal schedule for meals, walks, exercise, potty breaks, and relaxation. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I’m flexible, attentive to individual needs, and always happy to discuss a routine that works best for you and your furry family!

About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.
About: Hi! I'm Shelby, your local dog lover and fashion designer; while caring for your beloved pup, I will give them tips on how they can improve their runway walk and enhance their personal style :) I have experience with, and love, all types of dogs and had a beautiful Golden Retriever of my own for 15 years. I am looking to make connections with regulars to establish relationships with the dogs that I am caring for, so feel free to reach out to me frequently! I recently moved to the Poconos from the suburbs of Philadelphia so I am accepting clients in both locations.
“Paul was wonderful! We were looking for a pet sitter last minute and he came through. Followed our instructions perfectly and sent updates including photos and videos with every drop-in visit. I could tell from the videos that my cat loved having him around. Thank you, Paul!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 423 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Craigs. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Craigs. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
