Melissa did an excellent job staying at our home and caring for our Great Dane Parker June. Kept us updated while we were away and our home was the way we left it. Will be using again for our future sitting needs.

Hannah was awesome! It was so nice being able to leave our dog at our home vs boarding. He was very well cared for and was his happy typical self when we got home. We’d definitely request Hannah’s pet sitting again!

Zania was absolutely fantastic with our pit bull & cats. Our pittie is calm & lovey inside, but when he gets outside, he’s a crazy man. Zania handled him with great ease and is very knowledgeable with dogs and training. We had 1 night away and we were updated about walks, feedings, pictures, and given a bedtime pup-date ( update at the end of the day) We could not have asked for more. We are thrilled to welcome her to our house for more pet sitting.

Tyler was fabulous with my dogs. Three retrievers, two golden and a very anxious mixed lab. The lab took to him immediately. Tyler updated regularly with pics and texts. Last minute one of the holders developed a terrible hot spot requiring special care. Tyler was accepting of the challenge and nursed the poor guy back to health. I would recommend Tyler highly! He left our home as if he was never there and our dogs happy! I will use Tyler again in the future!!!

Hilary stayed at my place and watched Kobe for two weeks while I was out of the country. She did an excellent job with him and left the apartment very clean. It was apparent when I returned that Kobe was very attached to her. Hilary did all the right things while I was away to solidify my confidence that he was in the right hands. Highly recommended.

Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.

Lexie was such an amazing sitter! She took care of my pup for a week while I was out of the country. She was very communicative and took great care of my Remi. She sent me daily updates (often times 2x) and made sure that my high-energy guy was active (and tired) and well cared for. She also helped me out at the last minute, picking up a package for me. I felt so at ease having Lexie as our dog sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future.

About: Hi I'm Ashley, and caring for dogs is in my DNA! My father is an official AKC (American Kennel Club) breeder who works with his two stunning Siberian Huskies. Over the years, I've had the joy of being involved in their breeding process, spending time with adorable puppies from birth to 8 weeks old. This hands on experience has given me unique insight into dogs' needs at every stage of life I'm also experienced with high energy, strong willed breeds like Huskies. I know how to manage dogs that pull or chase on their leads, ensuring they stay safe and happy. As a runner I'm more than willing to match your dog's energy whether that means a brisk jog or a full on run to burn off some extra steam. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll an active adventure, or just some love while you're away, I'm here to help. With my experience enthusiasm, and love for animals, you can trust me to care for your pet like they're part of my family :) I currently am walking a few regular clients dogs and am looking for more sittings or walks. I also work part time. Reach out with any questions! I don't have a fenced in yard but there is a nearby dog park which could accommodate a pup or two if that is needed!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Growing up with a high-energy Blue Heeler taught me how important exercise, attention, and consistency are, while helping raise our Standard Poodle gave me experience with daily routines, training, walks, and plenty of playtime. I’ve also spent years caring for family members’ dogs, including multiple Chihuahuas and other breeds, each with their own unique personality and needs. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just basic care—they’ll get patience, attention, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with them. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority in my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a Supervisor at Urban Air and a Sales Associate at Vineyard Vines, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m usually available most afternoons after 3:30 PM, as well as before 4:00 PM on some Fridays and Saturdays. Even when I have work commitments, I put in the effort to coordinate my time so I can provide dependable care both before and after my shifts whenever possible. While my Sundays can be a bit busier, I always make sure I can provide reliable, attentive care when I accept a booking. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pet! When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining a safe, consistent, and engaging routine. With my own Standard Poodle, I make sure she is well-fed, has access to fresh water, gets regular potty breaks, and receives plenty of attention throughout the day. Because our yard requires close supervision during outdoor time, I’m accustomed to actively monitoring dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. I also make it a priority to provide exercise and mental stimulation through walks, games of fetch, playtime with toys, and one-on-one interaction. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve always been the go-to friend/family member to pet-sit since I was younger! I have a cat named Kitty but I love dogs too! I’m looking to drop in mostly during the evenings to play with, feed, and walk but I’m available to overnight pet sit Thursday - Saturday. I’m a renter with already one cat, I can’t have any other pets in my home but I’m more than willing to come to your house where your pet is already comfortable!

About: I grew up in a household with dogs and cats, and as we've added kids to our family, we've fostered and taken care of plenty of extra animals. Our kids are raised as compassionate animals lovers, as this is core to our family values. Before relocating to this area from NYC, my husband and I both volunteered at animal shelters, cleaning cages, socializing pets, and walking dogs. We started our own petsitting business back then as we truly love animals and wanted to help take care of them. In NYC, we could only have a couple of cats, so we welcomed any dogs that we could get to know and bond with. We would clean up after the pets, make sure there is food and water along with any medications the pets may need, including insulin injections. I believe playing with the pets is very essential in establishing a good relationship with any dog or cat, it builds a solid foundation and leaves the animals feeling less lonely. I do a thorough job from start to finish and really enjoy the time I spend with every pet. I have a lot of experience in this field and would love to take care of your pet.

This was our first time using Misty for an overnight stay since moving to Lancaster, and she made the entire experience easy and reassuring. Like many pet parents, our dogs are spoiled and not used to being left behind, so finding someone we could trust was important. Misty was responsive, communicative, and professional from the start. She made the sign-up and scheduling process simple, took the time to meet our dogs beforehand, and kept us updated throughout her stay. While we were away, she sent regular photos and sweet updates, which gave us real peace of mind. When we returned, the house was in perfect order and the dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We are so grateful to have found Misty and will absolutely use her again in the future.

Ally was sensational. I’ve never had my pets take to someone so quickly. Ally went the extra mile to make sure our fur babies were taken care of while we were away. When my old pup wasn’t eating due to us being away, she brought pumpkin puree to encourage her to eat. 😁 We also just got 2 new kittens and she made sure to protect any areas they wanted to attack and keep everything in one piece 😂. We highly recommend Ally and look forward to her caring for our babies next time we’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Petersburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in East Petersburg on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 1,169 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Petersburg. 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 East Petersburg 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 East Petersburg 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 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!

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 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.

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.
