“Shaina watched our cat for us. She took wonderful care of him, with lots of detailed updates and photos of each visit. She went above and beyond in cleaning up after him and was respectful of our home. We will book with her again in the future and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Erin did an amazing job caring for our kitten. She was attentive, friendly, and kind. She provided excellent care for our little kitty and even went out of her way to take care of her. We would highly recommend Erin for anyone else and would happily ask her to help support our kitten in the future if needed.”
“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!!”
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.
“Gabriella did a great job! We had her come another time recently and our dogs love her. We are so glad we found her. We will continue to use her! She is trustworthy and pleasant. I highly recommend her!”
“Jaden was great with our 1 year old lab. Lola is very energetic and when I got him from work she was fast asleep on the couch after a mile long walk. Jaden sent updates and has been very flexible with our schedule.”
“Shaniece was lovely to work with. She took wonderful care of my cat while I was out of town, and I will definitely rehire her for the next time I need a sitter”
“Halle was amazing!! She bonded very quickly with my little one. Was prompt, attentive to my dog, and made sure to give her cuddles while we were away. Leaving our dog behind is always rough but Halle gave us peace of mind that she was being well taken care of!”
“Alexandria was great! Very attentive and communicative. It's always reassuring to have someone do great amazing drop in care for our senior dog who doesn't travel well anymore. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Susan does an awesome job with our cats. She is always immediately responsive when we contact her and provides lots of pictures when doing her drop-in. We highly recommend her.”
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.
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’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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Petersburg
I think Alyssa was an excellent cat sitter. Chloe, my cat, can be a little territorial, but Alyssa seems to have taken it in stride and managed to get through the week. She made my vacation possible and worry free. I felt very confident that she would put Chloe at ease and do the things she needed to do.
Shaniece and Andrew are amazing pet sitters — incredibly professional and conscientious. We loved the detailed reports and photos / videos after each visit. Our super shy, elusive cat even came out to say hi and get some cuddles. I can be a nervous Nelly about our fur-babies and felt completely at ease knowing they were in excellent hands. We would recommend Shaniece and Andrew to anyone and will absolutely seek out their services again in the future for our 3 cats!

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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 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.
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.
