“Michael was the most caring, considerate, punctual, and responsible person we could have ever imagined to watch over our dog. We booked him for two days of three visits. He put such thoughtful consideration into every visit. Each visit was perfectly on time, all instructions followed, and a thorough summary of his visits were provided consistently. I’m so relieved to have found a responsible person to care for our pup. We will be rebooking with Michael again!!”
“Amanda was fantastic with our cats (4 total 2 mine and 2 my daughters who is staying with us temporarily) She was reliable and dependable and my cat who doesn’t like anyone loved her. She even watered my plants , which I appreciated in the 100 degree heat that we had while away! Highly recommend and will use her if needed on future.”
“We found Malia on sort of short notice and she was terrific during the drop-in visits with our old girl, Tink. Tink has numerous health concerns and anxiety, which Malia handled with ease, having to carry her on the stairs due to her senility and poor eyesight, give her pills and follow special feeding instructions. She was even willing to make an extra drop-in as I was nervous about leaving Tink too long. She made both of us feel at ease seeing the photos of Tink carrying on with her usual outside play and then resting in her bed. I will be scheduling her again!!”
“Isabel did a fantastic job with my cat! She did everything that I asked her to do and more, and I know that Venus thoroughly enjoyed her time with Isabel. I cannot recommend her enough. She is responsible, thoughtful, caring, kind, and communicative, everything that I look for in a pet sitter. An easy 5 stars, and I would highly recommend Isabel for your pets!”
“Mikayla took great care of our 2 furry family members while we were on vacation! I loved the updates and pictures. We will definitely request her services again and recommend her to our family and friends!”
“Kate did an excellent job caring for our cat. She’s punctual and attentive to details! She followed all of our instructions thoroughly and thoughtfully. We couldn’t have asked for more competent and special care for our kitty and our home while we were away. Thank you so much Kate!”
“Mikayla did an awesome taking care of our pup for the first time today! She was very punctual and very responsive in communicating with us about our pups care during her check in. We are very pleased and would have her take care of our pup again, thank you!!!”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and every single one of them has had a piece of my heart! I presently have two senior dogs and one three-year old, who probably feels as passionately about dogs as I do! I have also lived with, loved, and taken care of several cats over the last 13 years. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s lizards and frogs. I presently am able to control my own schedule and can make myself available for any last-minute or unexpected pet care needs that you may have. Currently, my only blocked off time for certain is Wednesdays from 5:30pm-9:30pm In my home, I have a fenced in yard to ensure that outside time is safe and fun. If you do not have a fenced in space but are still looking for your pup to have some outdoor time, I always ensure a leash is used to keep them safe. I have successfully used components of behavior analysis to build trust and confidence in my own dogs, while also ensuring that I understand their own behavioral cues to prevent stress in new or different situations. This includes shaping behaviors, frequent reinforcement, and pairing with new dogs to demonstrate that I am a safe person in their environment. Should transportation ever need to occur, I have a seat belt that clips to any standard harness as well as a seat cover that prevents climbing over the center console. I have a number of 6-foot leashes as well as 2 30-foot leashes to allow for safe running in open spaces, and an expandable 10-foot leash.
“Zania is an exceptional dog keeper! She’s so thoughtful about my boy SAMSON! He wasn’t feeling his best today and she took all the right precautions and some. Thank you so much.”
About: I have a 4 year old bernedoodle who loves other dogs! We live in the northwest section of Lancaster and love exploring all of the great walking areas the city has to offer! I am available on weekends for overnight stays! My dog and I like hiking at local trails or walking around the city if your dog likes that! I am able to crate your dog if needed for overnight stays if that is what your dog prefers. For bathrooms breaks we would go outside on a leash.
About: I truly care about making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as stress free as possible. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be nerve wracking, so I make communication a priority and always keep owners updated. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and anxious,I adjust to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I treat every pet with the same love and care I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m someone who is very responsible and routine oriented so making sure pets are taken care of is something I take seriously. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I make sure pets get plenty of attention while also respecting their space and comfort level. I also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

Helped deliver a few litters of kittens and a litter of puppies also have administered medication to several of my own fur babies.I have also taken care of my fur baby that injured her spin and was unable to walk. I am a stay at home grandmother and would love to care for your fur babies while you are out and about.

I am a stay at home grandmother and I'm available for boarding throughout the week and weekends . Your fur babies will always have constant care and playtime. We live in a townhome that has a sliding glass door where my fur babies love to hang out and watch the bunnies and squirrels.

About: I am looking for pets to take care of and love as i take a break from school. I have had dogs and cats since i was born and am experienced. i have a dog and two cats of my own and would love to take care of yours. After my part time job i don’t have much to fill up my day so pet sitting is great. With already having some household pets watching more is no problem. I can bathe, feed, walk, give meds to any pet i may be in care of. I would love to take up to an hour walk with pets and take care of any other special needs.

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.

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.
