“Wade watched my two dogs- Reese and Rayne. Reese has medical needs requiring eye drops 4 times a day, pills twice a day, and three meal times with special food. He was able to take care of all of this and did a fabulous job with her, while also managing her rambunctious sister. Would definitely book with again!”

About: Hi! I’ve spent years sitting and walking dogs for friends and family, so I definitely know every dog has their own personality and am happy to cater to them and take whatever time is needed to make them the most comfortable! Growing up there were always 3+ dogs in the house including puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities, so I’m equipped to handle all stages of life and different needs! I am patient, understanding, experienced, and ready to give your dog the most loving care! As a student with a part-time job my schedule is pretty flexible! For dogs, that means consistent walks, potty break, and feedings that match their normal schedule. For cats, regular feeding times, litter maintenance, and plenty of attention if they prefer it! Since my shifts change week to week, I will always confirm availability ahead of time and communicate about timing! Your pets safety is my top priority, in your home or mine! I live in an apartment, so I’m mindful about creating a secure, calm place, free of hazardous foods or items. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention I’d want for my own, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is in a safe and comfortable environment.

About: "My home used to be filled with cats and a whole pack of little dogs. Over the years things have changed, and right now my sole companion is a wonderful senior tabby cat named Batman." I'm currently not working, I just stay home, take care of the house and my senior tabby, Batman. I have nothing except time to help care for your fur babies. I live at the end of the road in a very quiet neighborhood with a big yard. Plenty of space inside and outside of the home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet, like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with both high-energy dogs and senior pets, so I know how to adapt to different needs—from playful fetch sessions to gentle walks and medication support. I’m also reliable, flexible with scheduling, and great at communicating with pet parents, always sending updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or just giving extra love and comfort, I go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule around both my part-time job and pet-sitting responsibilities to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I stay organized and flexible so I can give consistent and loving care, even on busy days. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and always have clean water. I also take time to bond with them so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. If I’m doing drop-ins or overnight stays, I also keep the space tidy and send updates with pictures to keep pet parents in the loop. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe environment where they can relax and have fun. I stick to their feeding and potty schedules, offer plenty of attention, and make sure they’re never left alone for too long.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elk Park home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Elk Park.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Elk Park sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 , 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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
