“Jessica was fantastic. It was nice to know that our kitties were well taken care of. She sent us pictures every day. We got to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our kitties. I highly recommend using her.”
“Linda did a wonderful job caring for my Buzzy and Kitty. The daily communications were so helpful. I knew they were in good hands. I would recommend Linda to everyone. Thank you!”
“Milena took great care of our cat while we were away. He looked forward to her daily visits. She was even kind enough to water my flowers during the hot weather. We look forward to booking her again.”
About: Growing up, learning to take care of different kinds of animals was encouraged. From guinea pigs to horses, I have seen it all. Now living on my own, and having a dog and cat of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your animals. I have experience giving a wide variety of medication to both dogs and cats. I do my best to follow any schedule or instructions given by parents and to communicate as much as possible throughout the stay! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I do have a dog and a cat of my own that I will need to stop to check in on during the day, but I do have someone who can stay with them during the night if you do need overnight sitting. I currently only offer pet sitting in the client’s home. I do my best to follow all rules and instructions given, I do prefer any specifics (feeding amounts, any medications, etc.) to be written down just so I can reference back if I need!
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I’ve cared for dogs and cats belonging to family, friends, and neighbors for years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention. I work a flexible schedule and make time to give every pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet stays on their normal routine with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. I take the time to build trust with every pet, keep a clean and safe environment, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
“Chelsea, is extremely reliable, polite and earnest about her responsibilities! I will most definitely be booking her for future visits! I am so grateful for her being prompt to help and assist me in my time of need. My furbabies are also great full for the time she spent with them!! Thank you for being you!”
About: I have grown up with animals since I was a baby. I have had three dogs and two cats, and they have always been the joy of my life. Even from the age of 7, my job in the house was to take care of the pets. Walking the dogs, scooping the litter, feeding/hydrating them, etc. I was always in charge of my pets growing up because I love animals so much. I also have experience in dog sitting as well, as in high school I would do it as my job from Freshman year to Senior year. Overall, I have essentially grown up caring for animals, and as I am across the country from my pets at my parents house (in Maryland) I would love to provide that nurturing and love for someone else’s pets! I am working part time at the moment, and am in school, however my schedule is extremely flexible! I do not have many classes in college, as I am only finishing a few credits, and my job has cut my hours. Therefore, I am extremely available to provide services for your pet! Growing up with dogs and cats, I am extremely aware of how to take care of and nurture pets. In regards to taking care of your dog, I will foremost ensure that I provide them love and attention, making sure I play with them and give them the affection they need. In terms of walking them, I am easily able to keep up with them, as I am an athlete (and I also grew up bigger dogs, which is why I am very good with walking them). Along with that, I have a lot of energy and stamina, and will make sure they get a proper walk, and proper playtime. When it comes to their potty, I always make sure they get a proper walk in order to let that out, and along with that I always have bags to clean and dispose of it properly. I am extremely good at reading the body language of animals as well (as I grew up with dogs) therefore, I have an understanding of what they are feeling in a certain moment. I am the person at the gathering that sits in the corner with the dog, making sure they are not thirsty, anxious, scared, etc. Overall, I would say that I have a deep awareness for dogs. In terms of cats, I also have a very thorough understanding of them as well. I approach them differently than I do dogs. When it comes to kitty litter, my duty growing up was to clean it out. That allows me to know how and when to efficiently clean and switch it. I also understand that cats are very selective, so I would be extremely aware of their emotional/social attitude, and would allow them to approach me if they would wish to. In terms of playing with them, I know that they prefer certain toys and gadgets (and I would be more than happy to bring those with me when caring for someone’s cat). I also know the proper amount of food to provide a cat, and how much is good to feed a cat in terms of their size. I grew up with a very large cat, as well as a smaller cat, so I have an awareness of that. Overall, I would say that I am very cognizant of animals needs and, most importantly, I would be there to provide them a level of love that I wish I could provide for my childhood pets back home in Maryland.
About: Ever since I was a little kid, I have felt connected to animals. I have had and taken care of dogs since I was 10. When I went away to college without my dogs, I realized how necessary doggie love was to my happiness. This led me to volunteering at the local SPCA walking dogs. Now, I am back home working at a doggy daycare. Caring for animals makes me feel fulfilled and I would love to share this love with your furry friend! I currently work part-time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available both in the mornings and evenings. I care deeply for all living beings around me and believe they are all deserving of love and care. I will take your pup on walks and make sure to keep them company while their favorite people are away.
About: Dog loving photographer mama, I’ll treat your dog like my own! We only have one dog almost two year old black Shepherd Retriever, we go on early morning walks off leash, car ride to our local dog park with our frequent coffee shop drop in visit. I’ve trained all ages of dogs, and have dealt with all different type of behavioral dogs. Our dog get along with all dogs, and he’ll adjusted his behavior to adapt to them. We start our mornings at 5:30am with a long walk down our country roads down hill then back up the steep hill, helps my pup burn his energy. Then around noon, we’ll go for another walk and play frisbee or catch in our yard. We’ll also go for a car ride to our local dog park, and he’ll play there for about 15/20 mins. Then around 5pm, we’ll play in the yard till husband gets home. We have a large yard unfenced for our pup to ran and play fetch. I have one friendly pup, we loves playing with all types of dogs. We also have a large crate, we leave open for our dog to lay in but able to easily crate your dog if needed. Our dog is housed trained but he finds his crate comforting when we’re not home so we leave crate door open.
About: Hi there! Currently doing repeats only, but feel free to reach out with inquiries to confirm whether my schedule might allow for a new booking. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders. My schedule is currently limited to biweekly availability. Repeat clients are able to reach out to inquire about specific dates even if they are not listed. I’m currently customizing my calendar week to week and will open days up as needed. Feel free to inquire. In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.
“Dawn took great care of our cat while we were away! Our cat is rather social and she took the time to interact with him during her visits and sent us updates and pictures. It’s nerve-wracking finding someone to trust to look after your pet and we’ll definitely use Dawn again!”
About: Hello my name is Chelsea. I am a surgical veterinary technician at a busy animal hospital and online college student studying to become a registered veterinary technician. I live in Fairfield PA with my boyfriend and pack of rescue animals. This includes a blind kitty named Hank, a little orange tabby cat named Phoebe, a pitbull mix named Harper, and a foxhound named Roger. I have a passion for helping pets in need and so they have all come to live with me through different but unfortunate circumstances. Work, volunteering at rescue, and caring for my own animals has made me comfortable giving medications, feeding animals, and bathing animals with various medical needs. Please reach out to me with any questions. I work full time Monday to Thursday, 10+ hour shifts but am typically free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as well as most national holidays (unless I am on call for work). Due to my very small house and other animals I cannot provide in home pet sitting or boarding at this time. I can however come to you if you live relatively close by. I can provide walks, play time, feeding/watering, etc in a clients home instead.
“I figured I should write an updated review since Isela has watched our cat Huey over 10 times now (twice for a week or more), and I only reviewed after the first visit. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and respectful. She's a big animal lover, and Huey seems to miss her when we come back!”
About: I’ve dealt with dogs of my own of all sizes and breeds, as well as other animals such as chickens, goats, turkeys, and cats. I bond well with dogs and enjoy they’re company. I work full time and my usual days off are Tuesday and Saturday. I am usually off by 3 pm every day if not earlier. I have 2 dogs of my own but I don’t feel comfortable bringing outside dogs in with them on a regular basis, however I feel very comfortable watching/ playing with your pets in 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 Emmitsburg 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.

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.
