“Nicole did an outstanding job watching my cats while I was on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and treated them like they were her own. I had complete peace of mind the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again—highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Heather took the best care of our Maisey! She treated her like she was her own. Heather also took the greatest pictures and sent us videos of her. They were amazing! Look no further, Heather is your girl! PS-Maisey says thanks for her new toy! ♥️”

About: I am experienced in caring for senior and special needs pets, as well as administering oral, transdermal, or injection based medications. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all temperments, personalities, sizes, and energy levels, as well as small animals including rodents, birds, and reptiles. I do not work a traditional job, so I am fortunate to be able to make loving and caring for your pets my priority without the rush! I take the safety and security of your pets and home very seriously, I treat your home with the utmost care and respect during visits. I tend to be pretty on top of communication, and I love sending owners picture and video updates of their pets. I know how upsetting it can be when you're missing your pets, and my goal ultimately to reduce the stress and uncertainty of both you and your pet while you're apart. I prefer to care for pets in their home if they are typically distressed outside of their normal environment. However, if you would prefer your pet be taken care of in my home, that's not a problem! I have a fenced in yard with lots of places to walk and parks nearby. We have a friendly Australian Shephard to keep your pets company, as well as plenty of activities and toys for enrichment. I strive to keep your pet on the same routine they have at home and add plenty of activity to reduce the distress they feel in your absence. We do have a cat who is more reserved and tends to stay in his room, as well as three kiddos, all around age 10 with unlimited energy and love for your animals. As far as transportation, I have an SUV with a doggy hammock and seatbelt for safe transport, as well as many different size pet carriers.
About: There has always been a pet in the home since childhood, I’ve watched and taken care of 5 personally owned dogs from puppyhood to adulthood! I have babysat my aunts cat Tammy for a few months now, and I have taken care of my own dog Maestro when my parents are on vacation, or need an extra pick-me-up. I also have been volunteering at Humane Society of Harrisburg for about a few months now! I have always had a huge heart towards animals of all personalities and sizes. I’ve worked with nervous big dogs, to crazy little puppies! I would be more than willing to meet your amazing animal someday! 😊💕 I have a car available at all times, so I am easily able to provide as much time and energy as your animal needs. I also do not have a typical job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be super respectful of your space and keep notes about certain things your animal needs, and provide spectacular feedback on how your animal is feeling, how the day went, overall what happened during my service! I am a wonderful listener and I learn extremely quickly.
“Missy was SPECTACULAR! We couldn't say enough about how wonderful her care was for our little furry gremlin! She provided detailed updates on how he was eating, his moods and playful times, and her photos on the Rover Cards look like they were shot by a professional pet photographer! We instantly felt comfortable with her when she met our kitty. 110% would work with her again!”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have always been surrounded by cats and dogs and would not have it any other way. Currently in-between jobs so I am pretty flexible. I will be returning to school in the near future, but that will be online, so will not change my schedule too much. I do not have a fenced-in yard and am not looking to watch pets at my house as I already have my own dogs here.
“Sophie was wonderful with my puppy! She kept great communication throughout the entire time, sent me the cutest photos every day, and took him on nice walks. He looked so happy and comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions very well, and I would definitely trust her to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”

Nothing is too much for me I have been around a lot of pets with different needs.

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.

Depending on what your home has, fence, electric fence, shock collars, leashes I make sure I’m always watching and they they stay safe. Head on a swivel, I treat pets safety the same way I treat child safety as your pets are your babies.

Keri was the perfect sitter for our older cat who LOVED her! Usually a pretty skittish kitty, she’d warmed right up to Keri and even allowed her to administer meds 2X/day. The daily updates with pics really put me at ease and allowed us to enjoy our trip. Will definitely be booking her again!!! Thank you Keri! You’re part of the family now!!
Honestly Kari is the best. She’s watched our diabetic cat for several trips now, as well as stayed in our home for 8 nights to watch our dogs and cat. I’m so thankful we found her! The house is always tidy, the animals love her, and her communication is great!
We were able to book Sandy on short notice, to check in our cat while we were gone for three days. We told her not to be alarmed, if she did not see him, because he disappears when there are strangers in the house. Because there was no cat to be seen, Sandy sent us pictures of his empty food dishes. :-) When we arrived home our cat greeted us. Having Sandy was a good experience. We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank You Sandy...

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 618 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dauphin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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.
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.
