About: I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medication reminders, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule, especially since I will be retiring in June of this year. I will have a flexible routine and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I currently have two dogs at home and will also have a privacy fence installed in June to provide a safe outdoor space. At this time, I would prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines. I make safety a priority by carefully following feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household rules. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.
About: I have been watching family, friends and neighbors dogs for over 10 years. I have watched dogs a few weeks old all the way to senior age. I have also taken care of many different breeds of dogs and all different sizes. I have taken care of terroirs that weigh 3 pounds all the way up to Labs weighing over 100 pounds. No dog is too big or small! I am more than comfortable feeding dogs, walks, play time, administering medication, and of course treats and cuddles! I work full time remotely so I can take my work on the go! I am available any time of day, morning, afternoon and evenings! Since I work remotely, I am home most of the day! I have a fenced in back yard. I have also dog sat for families without a fenced in backyard and have no problem playing outside on a leash or if your dog in trained to stay in the yard. I have two cats who keep to themselves, but they have interacted with dogs before with no issue.
“Michelle was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She let us know when she arrived and gave them lots of love. She sent us pictures and updates of our guys. She was great and we plan on using her again.”
“FANTASTIC! My girls are very spoiled. I left LOTS of information and LOTS of instructions. Everything was followed to the T! I WILL use Rover.com again and I WILL ask for Kaela again! Daily Texts, daily photos, I returned home to the house exactly how I had left it! I am very pleased with my first Rover.com experience!”
“Deanna is a GEM, and I am over the moon that she took such good care of my dog. In fact, my neighbor told me how she saw Deanna walking my dog and saw her "taking great care of him". Wow! I can't wait to book her in the future. Highly recommended”
“My two sickly, finicky, geriatric pups loved Ja-Laurel! I think they were actually disappointed when we came home :-D (they were hoping to see Ja again). She also left the house spotless and all the potted plants happily hydrated. Many thanks!!!”
“Robert went above and beyond our expectations. He was very responsible and met every need for my 2 dogs and 2 guinea pigs. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos and had wonderful communication throughout our trip which put my mind at ease while away. I highly recommend him to care for your pets and will definitely rebook with him again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better house / pet sitter! I was out of state visiting family for the weekend, and having someone so reliable and attentive in my home gave me total peace of mind. Knowing both my babies (cat and dog) were so well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip without a worry. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout the weekend—it was nice to see my pets happy and comfortable in their own home while I was away. My home was left in wonderful shape, and both of my pets were clearly loved and spoiled. This is the first time I have used Rover for pet sitting and it worked out well. I will book again if needed and highly recommend her for services anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet care!”
“Molly accepted my last minute booking and I'm so grateful! She's really sweet and my dog loved having her around while I was out of town for the day. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had a great experience with Andrew! We felt instantly comfortable with him at the meet and greet and his personality was a perfect fit. He followed all of our instructions closely and took wonderful care of Roscoe and Loki. We came home to find the house exactly as we’d left it, and our dogs were clearly happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking him again!”
About: I’m familiar with almost every breed, and have been training them since I was 10 years old. My last dog was a therapy dog I took into nursing homes, but his time has past. :( I have all my time to spend with your pets. I am available weekends too, very flexible schedule. Will walk daily and play with them depending on age etc. I have a fenced in yard with no other pets. I am looking for a dog for myself to adopt and turn into a therapy dog, so I don’t mind training or corrective actions if wanted/ needed. I don’t like crates, but that’s me, and will respect your wishes. If at your house, you make the rules and I follow them, willing to FaceTime etc. whatever you need.
“Cristel is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and Cristel took great care of my two boxers. She sent photos and updates all day and you could see my dogs were happy even though I wasn’t home. Highly recommend Cristel!”
“Catarah sit my Yorkie puppy (at my house for 4 days). She was attentive and communicated throughout the whole time. She was so kind and arrived on time. I left out of state and she was always sending updates of my dog. She treated my dog well and provided my dog attention. I will 100% rebook! I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have shared my life and home with dogs for as long as I can remember, and today, I am the proud parent of two rescue dogs of my own. Managing a multi-dog household has given me firsthand experience in balancing different personalities, handling various energy levels, and maintaining consistent daily routines. Over the years, I have translated this lifelong passion into reliable pet sitting for multiple families who trust me to provide the highest level of care for their pets. When your pet is with me, you can expect strict adherence to their specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and organized, ensuring your home and pets are safe and well-managed. I also prioritize proactive communication, so you can look forward to regular, high-quality updates and photos that offer total peace of mind while you are away. I am currently going to school for my Master's Degree in Information Technology while also working full-time remotely. My current work schedule is Tuesdays-Fridays 8 AM to 6 PM EST. Being a remote worker and student gives me plenty of time to be able to give the exceptional care your pet deserves. I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are full members of the family, and I treat every guest at my client's home with the exact same love, respect, and high standard of care that I give my own two dogs. My primary goal is to maintain the comfort of their familiar routines so they feel safe, secure, and completely at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space as much as I respect your pet, ensuring everything remains clean, secure, and exactly how you left it while sticking strictly to your established household rules. I focus on providing plenty of personalized attention, structured playtime, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family member is in organized, capable, and loving hands.
“We found our perfect match on Rover to watch our Charley girl while we were away for my daughter's wedding. Susan communicates well and is very responsive. She put our anxiety at ease about leaving Charley for 4 days for the first time. She kept us informed everyday and sent pics during her stay. A huge thank you to Susan and we will be using her for all our Charley babysitting needs in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 775 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Germansville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Germansville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Germansville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Germansville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
