Hanna did an excellent job stopping by my house each day to care for my two cats while I was away on a trip. She fed them, cleaned and filled their water bowls, cleaned the litter boxes, disposed of the litter in the garbage can outside, and paid special attention to them each day ❤️. It was awesome that she sent me photos and videos of her petting and playing with them! And it let me know that they were in good hands while I was away. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Hanna!

About: I have spent over four years working hands on in a busy rescue shelter, providing daily husbandry, medical care, behavioral support, and safe handling for animal friends of every temperament and condition. I supported new arrivals who came in confident and social, shy friends who shut down from stress, and pets who needed calm guidance before they felt safe. Working with furry friends who were excited, anxious, grieving, fearful, or adjusting to major life changes taught me how to respond with patience, steady communication, and professional skill. My background includes senior care, medical needs support, and specialized routines for friends who rely on consistency. I have managed medication schedules, wound care, mobility challenges, special diets, and emotional needs with confidence. I worked closely with veterinarians and served as a vet tech at the shelter, gaining hands on experience with medical procedures, behavior observation, and safe handling for friends in all conditions. I am trained in SAFER assessment handling and comfortable supporting pets who benefit from structure, reassurance, and predictable routines. I am equally confident with playful energetic friends who enjoy activity and quiet friends who prefer soft company and peaceful days. I have also been trusted to support furry friends during palliative care, something I approach with deep respect. Being asked to be present for a friend in their most vulnerable moments is a quiet honor, and I always offer steadiness, comfort, and calm attention. My shelter team often turned to me for these situations because of the way I understood each friend’s needs and the gentle presence I brought to difficult moments. Those experiences taught me how meaningful it is to provide warmth and reassurance when a friend needs it most, and they continue to shape the way I care for every pet I meet. In addition to hands on care, I also worked in customer experience at the shelter, helping match our furry friends with the right adopters. I learned how important it is to understand each friend’s personality, needs, and comfort level so I could communicate clearly and honestly with potential adopters. I spent time getting to know our friends, explaining their needs, and helping families understand what would make the best fit. Guiding adopters through those decisions taught me how to advocate for each friend with clarity, kindness, and confidence. Every furry friend is welcomed with respect, understanding, and genuine care. Whether a pet arrives full of energy, feeling uncertain, or simply looking for a reliable presence, I adjust to their pace and their comfort level. My goal is always to meet each friend exactly where they are and provide care that fits their age, personality, medical needs, and emotional state. I recently made the difficult but exciting decision to pause my career and stay home with my little one. During this chapter of life, I am also pursuing my education to become a Certified Veterinary Technician, allowing me to combine my love for animals with continued learning and professional growth. As a result, my schedule remains flexible and open, giving me the opportunity to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. If you have specific scheduling requests, I am always happy to discuss options and find a solution that works well for both of us! I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own, taking the time to learn their routines, preferences, and unique personalities.I'm a big believer in clear communication and appreciate detailed instructions. The more I know, the better I can provide consistent care and make sure everything is done exactly the way you would do it yourself. I am always happy to double check details, ask thoughtful questions, and go the extra mile to prevent misunderstandings.During each visit, I will care for your home with the same respect and consideration I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. You'll receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, enrichment, exercise, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I'm committed to providing care that is tailored to their needs.

About: I’ve helped my mom take care of her dog since he was a puppy. I like to stop by and provide him with an enriching walk, some much needed playtime or even some pets and a relaxing staycation. I’ve also assisted my grandmother with her senior dog in the past. Although she was a senior pup it didn’t mean she deserved any less care. Making sure she was comfortable in her later years was something I valued deeply. I currently have a part time job generally working Monday-Friday from 5am-10am (times vary slightly). This schedule leaves me with a lot of time during the day that I’m looking to fill with a satisfying and fulfilling side gig. I care for my dog at home by providing him with enriching activities such as a leisurely walk, some simple fetch, going on a car ride locally so he can experience more smells or testing his nose by letting him find treats around the yard.

Taylor did a great job! I really appreciated that she walked Roland for a shorter period due to the heat, but still played with him indoors for awhile to help him burn off some extra energy. Definitely made me feel like he was well taken care of while I was at work!

About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me

About: I have loved and owned dogs my entire life. While I love all dogs, large dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I have cared for a Rottie/lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and Doodle mixes. Whether it’s going for a walk, having an high energy play session, or just hanging out, I’m down to do anything with your pup! I can also handle grooming and giving oral medication if needed. I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)

About: I've taken care of a few different types of dogs but mostly pitbulls. I love to play, if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. It'd be great to take them to a dog park with my pup or just out and about. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park or go for scenic walk and spend extra time outside if its nice. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out 9pm. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues.

Heather is absolutely wonderful. She has pet sat twice for my two boys (cats). I trust her so when I leave I never feel worried or the need to check the app which frees my mind to focus on other things. Heather is kind, compassionate, respectful of our home, and most importantly she loves our two boys and takes excellent care of them. When we return the boys are calm, content, sweet as ever, and our home looks great. Heather’s notes, pics and videos are a delight to read and view. We will continue to ask Heather to pet sit whenever we travel. 5 stars!

About: I've been a pet owner for 30 plus years, to include cats and dogs. I have also done pet sitting many times for families in and around Camp Hill, PA. I am currently a proud momma of three amazing furry friends: a 14 year old cat, a 9 year old catahoula leopard doggies, and a very energetic 2 1/2 year old mini golden doodle. All of these animals are rescues. I am currently working a job that ends at 3:30 each week day, and am very flexible with my availability of time over the weekends. I am up very early each morning to let my two dogs out in our backyard, which is fenced in. I also administer medication to our cat at that time, along with feeding all of my pets. All of our pets have free range of our house, but our youngest dog can be crated at times when necessary. I also love taking both of our dogs for walks every night.

Wonderful experience! This was my first time using a pet sitter service. In the past I have relied on friends and family and was hesitant to use a sitter because of the cost. I will use Sandy from now on! It was well worth the money for my peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands. She was amazing with my pets. They were comfortable with her and she maintained their normal daily routine. She is truly a pet whisperer! All the animals took to her immediately even at the meet and greet. More than just feeding and caring for them, she spent time with them. Highly recommend her for care of your pets!

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

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dauphin on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,212 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dauphin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dauphin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Dauphin. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
