About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!

About: Hello! Over the past 15 years, I've had the pleasure of working with two local rescues, fostering over 20 dogs of all shapes and sizes. Additionally, I've been a dog mom to 5 incredible souls: Freckles (English cocker spaniel), Lily (golden retriever), Bartlett (collie mix), Lenny (American cocker spaniel/pekenese mix), and now Sunny (a 2-year-old golden retriever mix). As each of the first four lived long, happy lives, I'm well-versed in all stages of our furry friends' lives (and comfortable with administering medication, if necessary). When I was teaching, I frequently worked summers at the Pets Hotel and Canine Country Club. Now that my schedule is more flexible year-round, I am happy to provide pet care that matches the level of care I give my own dog. I am very active by nature, so I love taking walks and will share updates and pictures along the way. Thank you for entrusting your furry family member to me; It is an honor, and I cannot wait to meet you and them. I have a very flexible career, so I'm able to accommodate most walk-ins/drop-ins with notice. I look forward to seeing my clients, and I will provide prompt feedback so you know exactly how the visit/walk/hike went! I take safety and trust extremely seriously. As a former educator, I have all my clearances, and I treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I have also fostered over 20 dogs in the last 15 years, so I'm comfortable with a variety of sizes and life stages.

Malia was fantastic with our cat Alice. She did a great job connecting with her and getting her to come out of her shell as the week went on. Her daily reports were thoughtful and the pictures were much appreciated.

I’m currently working part time at nights, so I will have lots of time during the day and after school to care for and play with pets. I have had a lot of experience with different breeds of dogs, so I am qualified to meet your pets needs no matter what shape or size!

Zania did a WONDERFUL job with our dogs, one of which is a little high energy. She went out of her way to take them on a “field trip” to run out their energy and play with other dogs. Her communication was excellent, and she even helped with some of my around-the-house tasks. I can’t recommend her enough!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have one fun-loving 3-year-old dog and four rescue cats (ages 8, 5, 1, and 8 months)—two of whom quite literally showed up at my doorstep and never left. So yes… I’m that kind of pet person. I have experience with large and small dogs, seniors, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable following special diets and giving medications, including pills and eye/ear drops, and I always stick closely to your routines and instructions. Whether your pet needs calm and patient care or something more active and outdoorsy, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I offer long and short walks as well as drop-in visits. I do have limits on dogs over 100 lbs and adult dogs with known aggression or serious reactivity, just to keep everyone safe. Cats are very much my comfort zone, and I’m confident with all kinds of feline personalities. I’m also happy to care for other land animals during drop-ins if needed. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be reliable, responsive, and consistent. I love taking photos of your best friend and sending updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. Why choose me? 🐾 Lifelong dog & cat experience (plus rescue life!) 💊 Comfortable with meds, special diets & senior pets 📸 Plenty of photo updates & clear communication 🕒 Flexible, work-from-home schedule ❤️ Calm, attentive, and genuinely obsessed with animals My goal is simple: happy pets and total peace of mind for you. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility and dedicated time for your pets. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the week with flexible hours. Because I already structure my days around caring for my own dog and cats, adding extra walks, playtime, and check-ins feels seamless—not rushed. Your pet will always get my full attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, medications, and house rules. I take time to read each pet’s body language and adjust care based on their comfort level. For walks, I use secure leashes and pay close attention to surroundings. I keep communication clear and consistent, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: As an animal lover and pet owner all my life, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to put their safety and care in someone else's hands. My goal is to relieve your stress and give you peace of mind by treating your fur babies as if they were my own. I currently have one pitbull and two cats and wish I had room for more! I also have experience pet-sitting for family and friends. Plus, I'm open to caring for your other four-legged friends including rats, mice, guinea pigs, turtles, ferrets, rabbits, etc. I am generally available from 6-7:30 AM and 5-9 PM most weekdays and anytime most weekends. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have a specific day or time you are looking for! I will treat your home with respect and make sure it is secured when I leave. I will also maintain a safe environment for your pet during my visit and follow all of your directions to the letter. Your comfort and confidence in my services are very important to me.

About: I've had a dog, multiple cats, 2 gerbil, and multiple fish growing up. I have also helped out friends with multiple pets throughout the years and want to continue to help those who work feel better their furry pets are having a caring friend look after them. I currently am available 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday to check in and walk your pets. I loom forward to meeting you and your pets and help in any way I can! I feel getting to know each pet individually is important to be able to best take care of each dog or cat. I want to be able to best serve each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

About: I've taken care of and have had pets for forty years, and would love to care for yours as well. I grew up raising Labador Retrievers, and have owned cats over the years as well. I've also had the pleasure of caring for and boarding friends' & families' pets, and having them in my home always brings me so much joy!!! We currently don't have any pets so yours will get all the attention! I am currently a stay at home mom who homeschools my teens. I have flexibility in my schedule most days of the week, and would love to care for your pets in my home, or in your home. I offer dog walking and visits to your home, and will take your pet(s) into my home as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking, and I will accomodate your pet's exercise needs.

About: Dogs have always been a major part of my life. Even before owning my own dog, I loved helping to care for my neighbor’s or family member’s dogs. I’ve had a lot of experience dog walking and pet sitting over the years, and since getting my own dog, Charlie, who is a rescue with anxiety, I have learned the important of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home from college with lots of free time, so much schedule is very flexible. I can pretty much be available any time throughout the week. I love to go on long walks and explore parks with my doggies. I always put safety first, making sure your dogs are secure and comfortable, especially in new environments. I will also make sure all possible medications, food, etc., are properly administered.

About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. I volunteered at a cat shelter for several years, where I gained experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I also have two cats and a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I truly enjoy spending my free time helping fellow pet owners by providing reliable, loving care. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or simply giving your pet extra attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'm happy to work with your pet's unique routine and needs. Whether they love long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll provide personalized care to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, well cared for, and treated like family every step of the way. I know pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as consistent as possible. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks. I'll also give your pet plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. You'll receive regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - East Petersburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in East Petersburg on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,100 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Petersburg. 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 East Petersburg 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.

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 East Petersburg 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in East Petersburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Petersburg. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
