“Jaideep was very communicative and easily accommodated my early morning drop off and pick up. He sent pictures of Sasha looking very content during her stay with him, and kept me updated on everything. I’m just passing through the area, but if you’re local to Harrisburg, PA then definitely book him!”
“Our Puppers just loved hanging out with Kathy! Tucker become her lap dog and Daisy made herself right at home in her well puppy proofed home. They loved their time outside with her and watching squirrels from her back patio window. We will definitely use her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Pam and Michael were wonderful! They are clearly animal lovers and I trust they took care of our dog as their own. They sent lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. Our dog came home tired from playing and very happy.”
“Our dog Milo was treated like a member of the family. We were very happy boarding him with Heather. She was flexible with rimes and even was able to board him an extra due to us having travel issues. Will use her again.”
“Anton was great. All was good. Professor is old and set in his ways, but he was obviously treated well and the photos & videos sent while he was there show him very happy. As far as I can see, there is no down side with leaving your Pet with Anton. We will definitely do it again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 9 years old, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I grew up with the sweetest Saint Bernard and have had 5 adorable kitties over the years. I like to call myself a professional cat entertainer. In 2023, I finally got my own fur baby who is spoiled rotten and my favorite thing in the world. I pet and house sit regularly for my friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even some horses. Sometimes that means staying overnight because one pup has bad separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable giving extra love and attention. Cats might be my favorite to work with but I love all cuties just the same! I’m working full time and right now, I get off work around 2:30pm. I am available for 30 minutes during the work day on my lunch break and during the afternoon/ nights. I have a large back yard and fenced in pool area for dogs with lots of room in the house for laying, playing, or exploring. I currently do not own a dog so any visiting dogs should bring with their favorite toys for extra entertainment. I am not living in a development but have plenty of walking trails in close proximity, including Big Boyd’s Tree Preserve, Front Street, Fort Hunter, and Wildwood Park. There are 3 cats living in the house who have been acclimated to dogs. We have separate rooms for visiting cats to stay with extra litter boxes, scratching posts, an abundance of toys, and a few humans to play with and love on.
“Our dogs loved being with Sandra and her family. They took such great care of our fur babies. Kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pics. Was flexible with our drop off and pick up which was super helpful.”
“Becky always takes care of my dog with as if he is hers. During this visit my dog got sick and she alerted me immediately and was able to triage the issue carefully watching and comforting him. I trust Becky 100% to care for my dog while I’m away and know that he’ll get the attention and love from her like he’d get from me.”
“Caitlin is great! I knew my girl would be in good hands during the meet and greet. She provided updates throughout the entire stay. I was completely at ease, not one worry. Reese loves her!”
“I trust Tiffany with Basil; she makes sure she is very well taken care of and I never have to worry. Basil is always very happy during her visits with Tiffany and it shows.”
“Missy was very good with our dog. He had never been left with anyone other than family, so there were some challenges. She gave me daily updates with pictures which I loved! Missy was very patient and kind to Baxley. We could tell that she has a lot of experience working with animals and that she cares for each one she watches. We were very pleased with her - five stars! We would definitely use her again and recommend her.”
“Late review: Dannette was wonderful with my two boys and took great care of them. They were happy, tired, and semi-excited to see me when I picked them up. I’d definitely recommend!”
“Kayla was great! It was Lotus’s first time staying with Kayla. She sent us pictures throughout his stay with her and made sure we were in the loop of how he was doing. We felt very comfortable with her and would drop Lotus off in the future! Thank you!”
“Kerrie was GREAT! She was so engaged and responsive, and treated my pup just like the rest of her family. I appreciated her specific questions around care and all of the pictures and updates she sent to me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality sitter. 5 stars.”
“Amy took excellent care of my dog. She was very nice and welcoming. She sent pictures of my dog and communicated well. Would recommend her and her husband to anyone!”

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 Ellendale Forge 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 Ellendale Forge.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ellendale Forge 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.
