Kelsey is the best! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cats for a weekend and Kelsey made it so easy. She communicated with me, sent pictures, and always showed up on time. I will absolutely be re-booking for my next trip:)

Malia did a great job with Darin! She followed instructions, sent a lot of pics and notes. Husband came home to a happy pup, and our home was treated with care and respect. Would absolutely book her again!

Sydney did a great job visiting my cats twice daily during my vacation. She even learned to give Big Boi Peter his insulin shot! She is real cat lover too, and could not be more perfect to leave your fur babies with.

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!

After a last minute pet sitter cancellation, I was scrambling trying to find a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter for a weekend trip. I stumbled upon the Rover app where I connected with Tyler. He is a phenomenal pet sitter! He is prompt, professional, and really easy to communicate with. He provided me with daily logs, photos, and updates; which was so nice to see. I highly recommend Tyler! We will 10/10 book with him again.

Mary and Derek have been reliable and consistent taking care of Bruno. He can be a finicky eater and tends to be a little diva some times, but he has been comfortable and well cared for. Thank You!

About: 🐾 I am a lifelong animal lover with experience around many different breeds. In the past I have worked in a veterinary office kennel that boarded cats and dogs of all sizes. I was responsible for feeding, walking, supervising potty breaks in the yard, keeping kennels clean, playing with the animals, and administering medications including pills and insulin injections. I have a talent for gaining the trust of timid dogs. 🩼 I also have experience with special needs and senior dogs and cats. In particular, my own beloved French Bulldog, Frankie (who we just lost in June) suffered from IVDD including back-end paralysis and double incontinence. I am comfortable using dog diapers, expressing bladders, employing some techniques to induce bowel movements if necessary, and even doing physical therapy exercises with dogs at home. 🐶🐶 We currently have a senior Goldendoodle and a young Shih Tzu mix, who I found on the street and ended up taking in permanently. Both of our boys have had leash aggression and reactivity towards other dogs in the past, and we’ve worked with trainers to mitigate that, so I have experience in these scenarios as well including walking reactive dogs in populated areas. 🎾🐕‍🦺🐈 I’m happy to cater to your pet’s individual needs and preferences whether that be a long walk, a fun-filled play session, or just snuggling on the couch and some company. I can’t wait to help you care for your furry friend! 🐱🐶🐾 I currently work a full time, dayshift job at a hospital with plans to reduce my hours in the near future. Currently I am mostly available after 4 pm on weeknights, all day most weekends, and may have some weekday daytime availability here and there. Safety is a top priority for me when caring for animals. When spending time with your pet, they will not be out of my sight. I will always be communicative of any safety concerns with you!

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’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: 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: I am very passionate about everything I do, so I can assure you that your pet will be taken care of with tons of attention and love.

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!

About: Hey fellow dog lovers! A little about me… I am a nurse and absolutely love what I do, but ultimately I just want to hang out with dogs. I have a four year old daughter and a 12 year old mixed breed dog. I will take excellent care of your fur babies. I grew up with three dogs, one golden retriever and two westies, and I adopted my dog in 2016. I worked for PetStar dog walking company in Charleston Sc but then began pursuing my nursing career. I just moved back to Lancaster and trying to make some extra money while looking for another nursing job. I hope to hear from you! Thanks! I am available during the week. I work the weekends. During the week we like to go on adventures but we are also happy hanging out at home. We have almost half an acre that’s fenced in. We also have a screened in porch with a fan and a large loveseat that out dog uses more than we do. If I leave the house I more often than not bring copper with us. We go to the parks, Home Depot, the fields, the beach, you name it (if dogs are allowed we go together)

FAQs for Dog Sitting - 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 September 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 September 2026, there are 2,084 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.
