“Jaden watched our 2 dogs this week, one of which is 1 year old with endless energy. He did an excellent job of taking care of our girls, even singing to and celebrating our older girls 7th birthday. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have been dog sitting for the past 9 years. I have experience with dogs of all ages/sizes and own a 6 year old Great Pyrenees myself! I also have experience with senior/special needs dogs. I am also confident in helping you train your new puppy how to walk! My schedule is thankfully super flexible so it’s easy for me to add walks into my days as a fun way to fill my extra time! I care for each pet as they are my own and try to build a bond with each dog, I feel their trust and comfort around me is important.
About: I’ve always been that person to rescue, love, and care for all animal! Always giving the care they deserve! I have two dogs and they are my world and I always put them first! I know how hard it is as a pet parent to trust someone else with my pets! So I’ll always treat yours as if they are my own! I clean houses for a living so I’m always on the go! My schedule has these major time gaps and I thought what could I do to fill those gaps?! Some clients I have ask me to take care of their pets at their house so why not take on more pets of others! I have two very loving dogs who get along with other dogs and people. I’m a very big believer on whatever instructions a client gives me for their dog I will follow exactly for the safety and peace of mind for their dog/cat and themselves!
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Maura stayed with my dog and cat for 11 days while I traveled abroad. She was easy to communicate with, and I could tell she treated my animals as if they were her own. I highly recommend Maura for your pet sitting needs!”
“Erin was wonderful. She did an advance “interview “ with Max prior to the sitting. She sent us many pictures on multiple days which we loved. She comforted our max during thunderstorms and the like. She brings her baby with her. Even though we don’t have kids max took to watching after both Erin and her baby. Although we did not make our final arrival time, we worked the key exchange and the house was better than we left it with dishwasher items put away. We had daily updates most days and Erin was always responsive. We would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and sizes! Don’t worry too much about having everything prepared ahead of time! If you’re ever running late or your pet needs something specific, I’m more than happy to make a quick run to pick up their favorite snack, meal, or wet food. Just reimburse me if you’d like here and there, no worries at all! I’m always happy to help out and go the extra mile to make sure your pet has everything they need. ❤️ I’m patient, attentive, and will treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels happy, safe, and loved! Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and flexible pet lover who would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies! 🐾❤️ My schedule is especially flexible in the evenings, and I’m available any weekday after 4:30 PM. Weekends are also open and very flexible for me, making it easy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I also have a twin sister who shares my love for animals and has a flexible schedule. As my Rover bookings grow, I may have the option to coordinate with her when needed, depending on what each client is comfortable with. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving, and consistent care for every pet! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. There is always someone home, so your fur baby won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks and fresh air. I’m also very responsible about cleaning up after pets and keeping their environment clean and comfortable.
“I have a rescue dog that can be unpredictable and she is also somewhat fearful of strangers, but she liked Emily right away and I was able to travel without any worry about my dog being happy and cared for at home! It was a real blessing to find Emily and I will definitely call her the next time I have to travel! I can highly recommend her as a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
“Barbara took care of my senior dog while I camped overnight. My pup gets a little stressed when I’m away. I can tell that Barbara took great care of her because she wasn’t anxious when I got home, just happy! She was very friendly and you can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I will welcome your pet to its home away from home, showing them the attention and love they require as if they were with you. There isnt anything im not willing to try to ensure your best friend feels as comfortable and continues with their daily schedule the best of my ability- special walking requests (time, amount, distance, frequency), special dietary needs or medication administration, etc. Will allow on furniture and provide any "treats" that you request. But will also ensure that no pets on furniture, no people food, no treats, etc if thats what you desire as well. Either way, you give me the word and ill be more than happy to continue the same care your pet receives at home, no questions asked! If you're looking for a home away from home for your pet, youve found the right person and home! I look forward to hearing from you and mostly meeting the love of your life and continuing the same care they receive at home. I am currently a stay at home homemaker so this allows me to practically be with your pet family member 24 hrs a day which allows us to get to know each other quickly and ensues your furry family member is spoiled with my time. I currently live in a quiet neighborhood which allows me to keep a close eye on your furry family member at all times. Most of the time I get a sidekick with me immediately!! I ensure during potty breaks and walks that I familiarize myself with your pets needs, likes, and dislikes (eg. Other animals).
About: I had only dogs for many many years and absolutely love dogs! I then moved abroad for the past 12 years and due to living in a building which allowed no dogs I decided instead to invest in a kitten.. Here we are, years later and I've become rather cat crazy! We have 4, 3 of which we brought with us all the way from the UK to love with us here in Danville. I love how each cat carries their own personality, likes, dislikes and quirks and I have learned to be patient a great deal thanks to these little flurries of fur. I also once owned rabbits, chickens, peacocks, fish, a squirrel named "Giblet" and spent time around cows and pigs as well. Animals give us warmth and love, be it a cozy chihuahua or a frowning lizard and I love them all! I am new here in town and wish to establish myself as a carer and guardian of your pets when you need a hand. I genuinely will love and cherish them in the short time I might spend with them.. Their safety, happiness and calmness are important to me and I will give all my devotion to them while in my care or in your home. I hope to be here for you anytime you need.! We have just moved here from the UK in mid 2024. Our 4 cats are the biggest part of our lives and as I work from home I am so attached to them! That freedom can also allow me to care for your pet as well and love them as if they were my own while you are away! For now I have decided to offer myself up to visit your home when you wish to feed, walk and play with your pets as well as those necessary litter box details if you have cats.. I am honest and dependable with a deep love for animals and for being kind and gentle. I won't just feed them and leave.. Whether you have dogs, cats or any other animal, I will spend some time with them, make sure they feel safe and warm and be your eyes and ears during your absence. I would be thrilled to send you photos or video or even a live face to face call with your pets. I am a southern boy raised by strong southern women and I absolutely will respect your home, property and pets. In the near future I will also offer a boarding option as well after I've settled in here in Danville. I am willing to travel a but out of the area if you need as well. Other services I will consider providing are house sitting your home with or without pets. I am flexible and truly well meaning and respectful and hope to become your "Go-To" Guy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Duncannon is $29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $29 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 483 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duncannon. 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 Duncannon 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 Duncannon 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 Duncannon 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.

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.
