“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.”
“Alyssa jumped in last-minute to take care of my goats and did a great job. There was bad weather one night and she took care to lock them in the barn so they were safe. I appreciated the care she gave to them and hope she’ll watch them again in the future.”
“Isak was great! He agreed to check on Darin with short notice, and communicated quickly. He followed instructions, treated our home with care and from the pictures he sent, it looks like Darin had a blast with him! ☺️”
“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!!”
“Sarah was very helpful, communicative, and friendly. She made our new puppy happy and comfortable despite him being afraid of most things. She also communicated anything that was out of the norm for our puppy and asked questions when needed.”
About: Animals are my passion. I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs/cats of different ages and sizes. Through my years of experience, it’s easier to coax the most timid of animals into being my buddy. I like to learned and study what each animal needs or wants! So they are the most comfortable with me and on walks. I can check on animals mornings, midday through the afternoon and night. I’m free most weekends so any overnight stays would be fine with me. I would traditionally prefer animals to be in their own home. I know it can be stressful enough for an owner to leave their animals so I’d like for them to be the most comfortable in their own home.
“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!”
“I 110% recommend Malia!!! She was kind, trustworthy, and incredibly good with my kitty Dandelion. Dandelion loved her instantly and I can tell Malia has an excellent way with animals. I am so happy to have found her! :)”
“Joybhad a marvelous first time with Lexi! Totally put our mind at ease while we are out for the day. Can't wait to reconnect with Lexi the next time we need a hand with our pup!”
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.
“Shaniece was an amazing pet sitter who I highly recommend. She was organized, accommodating and amazing with my cat. She provided detailed updates of her visit and got along great with my typically shy cat!”
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!
“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.”
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!
“Susan watched our two kittens (4.5 months old) while we were on vacation and was fantastic! She sent us updates each day, along with photos. The kitties were well cared for and our house was in great shape when we got back home. We would definitely use Susan again!”
“Brooke took great care of our two pups and sent lots of updates and pictures! She made friends with my hard to befriend little pup and didn’t mind cleaning up all the puppy pad messes from our elderly dog! Definitely recommend Brooke!”
“I am so glad that Taylor was available again. As we have used Taylor before it was so easy for her to step in and take care of the family cats. The cats and house were well taken care of.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in East Petersburg is $20

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!
Alyssa was a wonderful cat sitter for my daughter’s cat! Her cat needed meds twice during the week and she was able to get her to take them. Huge accomplishment which helped Poppy cat have a healthy week while we were gone! We’ll definitely hire Alyssa again if the need arises! Thank you!!!!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in East Petersburg on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,238 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Petersburg. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
