“Emily was fantastic. She was timely and communicated everything. She went above and beyond in caring for my dog Nala while I was away via Drop-Ins. Thank you so much Emily for giving me invaluable peace of mind while I was away! Would book again and again :)”
“Melinda was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats! She was able to make a last minute accomodation to stop in and make sure my cats were fed and their litter was clean. She stayed and made sure all of them were fed. One has anxiety, the other takes a long time to eat. She was kind and all 3 liked her right away and were comfortable with Melinda. She really put our minds at ease and made us feel more comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
About: I have experience feeding, walking/hiking, cleaning after, and providing prescribed medications to indoor/outdoor dogs and cats. I am also willing to feed fish and have brief experience with turtles and frogs. I have random days and evenings that I can entirely dedicate to your fur babies, reptiles, and amphibians! Feel free to reach out and match availability. Let me help you, flexible! I am used to caring for multiple animals at once, including outdoor cats. Outdoor exploration and play is encouraged in my home. I always send a picture of their fur babies with a description of what happened after each visit.
“She was very competent and did a good job with the dogs. We are visiting from out of state and staying at a RV Park. Having her come took away the worry for me in leaving the dogs for the day. Thanks”
“Bronte was FANTASTIC! She took great care of my boys, went above and beyond to give them special care and time, and did everything I asked of her. She was friendly and so kind and amazing to work with.”
About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.
About: When I was in high school, I fostered over 20 dogs with my mom from a rescue she was apart of. During this time, I was able to interact with dogs of all ages and breeds. I learned how to read dogs body language better, while making them feel comfortable. dogs have and will always be a HUGE part of my life. I am currently job searching so I have a lot of free time at the moment to help out others who may not have as much availablity to be with their loved fur babies! Upon any given instructions, I will do whatever the client needs for the safety of their animal. Paying attention to thorough details will allow for a smooth visit!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. I can really connect with them easily! It makes me happy that your pets are taken care of! Anytime, just let me know! I take time in my schedule to go to the gym as well, but that can be moved around if anything pops up! I have a fenced yard, so for my dogs I usually get toys out and play with them for a good bit. Maybe throw in some training treats for new skills. I can walk your pets, and learn what they love doing in your home! Even if that means cuddle time too!
“Rita has been absolutely amazing with my pup Juno! She went above and beyond to make sure Juno was well taken care of. Juno has a lot of anxiety and sometimes becomes reactive when she gets nervous. Rita worked with Juno through positive reinforcement to decrease her anxiety and make Juno feel comfortable. I would 100% recommend Tita to any dog parent!”
“Shae was fantastic with Marisa and Shandy. They took to her immediately. I also appreciated her immediate response to our request. I won’t hesitate to use her services in the future.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dogs recieved and the great communication with Nikki while we were away. She went above and beyond making friends with our cautious, defensive girl, and her care and concern for both dogs well being was obvious. I didn't worry for one second while we were away, such a relief!”
“Isabel did an excellent job with my German shepherds. My dogs felt comfortable around her, she was very attentive and communicative throughout each drop in visit. Would highly recommend her!”
“Good experience. The whole family did a good job looking after our dog while we were gone. Received regular photos and updates on our dog. Room was clean when we came back home.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5. My brother was very active in the dog community and often took me with him. I took care of his Rotwilliers whenever he vacationed and had several dogs of my own. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family my whole life and have taken care of dogs for my nanny families in the past! I am currently a part-time nanny, but fit in dog care in my off time! I only work two full days a week, Monday and Thursday, so I have plenty of time for my puppy friends! I love to help out other dog parents and want to make dog care my full-time job. When caring for a dog in another home, I can easily follow instructions you leave for me. I can walk the dogs on a leash, take them to dog parks, or play with them in my own yard. If a dog has to come home with me, I have a large home with plenty of yard for them to run and play in. I have small crates at my own home if needed. I have experience with giving dogs medication due to my own senior dogs and my French bulldog who has had allergy issues.
About: I have had dogs since I was born - big dogs, little dogs, hyper dogs, and lazy dogs. I took care of those dogs growing up whether it was walking them, watering them, feeding them, or cleaning up after them. However, I’ve taken care of other people’s pets since I was 10, walking and feeding neighbors dogs and cats, as well as sitting for friends and family. I currently am a senior in high school who gets up at 6 for school, so I have early mornings available, and get out of school at 2:30pm. However, this means I do have weekends free all day every day! I have a huge back yard that so many dogs have enjoyed. I have crates from when my dogs were being crate trained, however now they roam so those crates are open if needed, otherwise I love a dog that likes to sleep in bed!
About: My entire life pretty much I've grown up around animals! I've had different rodent, and currently have 2 cats. The last 10ish years my family and I have cat/dog sat for multiple family members and friends. The last year I've cat sat for my neighbor multiple times. As far as regular work goes, I'm only doing part-time due to the limit on how many hours are being given. I'm also not enrolled in school, so my schedule has more than enough time to fit in some extra pet care. I have experience with giving medication (mostly pills), so if your fur baby has meds that are needed to be given, I'm more than willing. Like a lot of animals, I enjoy basking in the sun. So, taking your animals on long walks isn't an issue either. Your animals needs are my priority.
“Melisha responded immediately to my booking request. She was very accommodating and friendly. Melisha kept us updated during her visits. She sent us amazing photos of Stella. Our pup was very content when we got home. We would 100% recommend Melisha!”

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 Gettysburg 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.
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 Gettysburg 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Gettysburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
