About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I have years of experience working with dogs through professional grooming, breeding, and showing, so I’m comfortable recognizing individual needs and adjusting my care accordingly. I’m especially experienced with puppies and young dogs, including basic manners, crate routines, leash skills, grooming desensitization, and helping them build confidence in new situations. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, frequent potty breaks, or a little more help getting comfortable. Because of my grooming background, I can also help maintain coats, brush pets, clean up after messy adventures, and keep an eye out for changes in their skin, coat, ears, or overall condition. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I work with animals regularly through grooming, showing, and caring for my own dogs, so feeding, potty breaks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and one-on-one attention are built into my day. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets in my care and make sure they receive plenty of attention rather than simply being checked on between other commitments. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and comfort level. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, feeding according to their normal schedule, playtime, exercise, and a clean, comfortable environment. I can accommodate crates and other routines they are accustomed to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, medications when instructed, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care requests. I also make sure their space stays clean and secure. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Samuel was wonderful as always! My new kitten really warmed up to him :) and he takes great care of my senior cat on medication every time. Samuel is my go -to sitter - always reliable and really good with animals:)”
“This was my first time having Shelly in our home. She was prompt, had good communication and easy to talk to and she was very in tune with my dog. He was relaxed around her and she asked all the right questions. We will definitely be requesting her again for future dates.”
“Zander saved the week by coming to my house and letting my frigid and frozen dog in the house, since my boy refuses to use the heated areas provided. Zander showed up on time, did what I asked, sent me a photo so I knew my boy wasn't going to turn into a popsicle and was on his way. We both appreciated the help and will chose Zander again when the need arises.”
About: I grew up around dogs, starting with my dad raising and training hunting hounds when I was a kid. In my teens, I worked with sled dogs, deepening my understanding of training and care. Since 2013, I’ve been raising and training Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. Specializing in high-anxiety dogs and behavioral issues. I use balanced training methods tailored to each dog’s needs, helping them build confidence and trust. I believe quality pet care should be accessible and affordable, ensuring every dog gets the guidance and attention they deserve. Dogs are part of my everyday life—I run a family-operated kennel on our 9.5-acre farm, where training, exercise, and care are woven into my daily routine. From structured training sessions to supervised playtime and socialization, I ensure each dog gets the attention and guidance they need. I believe quality pet care should be accessible and affordable, making sure every dog has the chance to thrive. Safety is my top priority. Every dog in my care is monitored closely, whether during training sessions, supervised playtime, or rest periods. I have experience working with all breeds, from small companions to large working dogs, and I tailor my approach to each dog's needs. Trust is everything when it comes to your pet’s care. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I use balanced training methods that build confidence while ensuring a positive, structured environment. I believe quality pet care should be accessible and affordable, making sure every dog has the chance to thrive. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family.
“Riley was super reliable and communicative, and took great care of my cat for a couple of weeks while I was out of town! She provided clear and detailed updates after each visit, including a bunch of pictures. I definitely recommend her!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and everyone who knows me knows I’m a true animal lover. I currently share my home with two English Bull Terriers and two mixed Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is simply part of my everyday routine. My dogs are family, and I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I’ve raised puppies and cared for pregnant dogs, which has given me experience with dogs in different stages of life and with different personalities and needs. One of my favorite things is taking dogs on adventures, playing with them, and enjoying the unconditional love they bring. There is something so special about the bond we share with our dogs, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member. When your dog is with me, they’ll be cared for by someone who genuinely loves animals and understands that pets aren’t just pets…they’re family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have my own dogs. My day naturally includes feeding, letting them out, walks, playtime, and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m used to being attentive to their needs and adjusting my schedule around them. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner.
“Alana was great. She did a drop in for my two dogs. We had a small miscommunication about what was needed and she fixed it immediately with an additional drop in. My dogs were happy and healthy when we got home.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of different animals-dogs, cats, horses, fish, rabbits, ducks, etc- and love animals. We own our home so we don't have any landlords to answer to or worry about, our house has a fenced yard with 7,500 square feet to play and run. In our home we have three children ( 2, 4 & 6). My kids has been all kinds of animals before. We also have two cats. We are also usually home most holidays if you need care during any of the holiday seasons. The kids and I are home all day most days, give or take a sports activity but those aren't usually very long and are often close to the house. I have a 6 ft tall fenced backyard to play in. Sleeping arrangements are totally separate for my animals and guest animals. There is no unsupervised time between my kids/animals and guests.
About: I’ve have always had pets growing up including farm animals. While growing up, I took care of 5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, chickens and some ducks. I’d be happy to help care for your pets. I currently work full time and have a 2 year old daughter. As long as we can communicate and work out a schedule, I can take care of your fur baby! I have a fenced yard with a standard sized dachshund that can help keep your fur baby. Happy! I have a two year-old daughter, the fur baby must be kid friendly. I am also able to go to the clients home and take care of your fur baby there
About: I’ve taken care of big and small cats and dogs all my life whether it was raising my own family pets or watching over friends’ and families. I love animals and learning about them as well! I am currently working from home and get to make my own schedule essentially. My schedule is open to any day or time of the week! I ensure safety, care, and lots of love are provided for whatever critter I care for! I aim to go above and beyond to make sure the proper needs are met.

Samuel was a great dog sitter when we needed to leave our fur babies to attend a concert. He was flexible as the concert time was adjusting and communicated very quickly. He also attended to each dog’s individual needs. Much appreciated and would rebook anytime.

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 Ephrata 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
