“Abbie is so sweet and did such an awesome job with our puppy girl! We love how active she was with Raven and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We will be return clients for sure! Thanks Abbie!”
“Candice was attentive, thorough and responsible. She obviously loves cats, and ours were well cared for. She spent a half hour daily with them and provided detailed daily reports and pictures showing how well they were doing. It was a relief to not have to worry about our cats when we were on vacation. I highly recommend her for pet care.”
About: I have watched family members’ animals and my parents’ dogs while they are gone on vacation. Always made sure they have the love while their people are away! I currently work until 2pm and can easily come to your home and walk your animal or feed if needed. I can also offer weekends! I can easily crate your animal if needed. I can feed, give water, clean litter boxes, or walk your dog if you are unable to or just have a busy schedule!
About: I have spent countless years caring for all shapes and sizes of animals. Anything from fish, to guinea pigs, to horses, and all in between. I currently work full time, but my employer is very flexible and understanding of my schedule, and allows me to do whatever is needed for the comfort of your furry friends. I spend countless hours in your home, with your fur babies, to ensure that they are able to run and play, just as they would if you were there. I strive to make their lives normal, just like it would be if you were home with them.
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've shared a deep connection with animals. I felt like an outcast a lot of my childhood but always felt like I could fully be myself around them. They understood me, and I understood them. Bonding with them has always come so naturally to me. My parents taught me the responsibility and care it takes from a young age. I grew up around many different cats, dogs, and other pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, etc. I consider the 2 cats I have now, my children, and would actually goto war for them😅 They always get spoiled with treats, cuddles, and different kinds of cat enrichment. Im also experienced with pets who need extra care or are in their older ages. I used to have a persian who was was the runt of the litter. He was sick for his entire 12 years of living and needed more care than a normal cat like extra grooming, medication, vet visits, etc. Ive rescued quite a few kittens and helped nurse them in my lifetime, too! When it comes to dogs, I love to include them in everyday things like car rides, hikes, walks or a trip to Starbucks to get a pup cup! I think theyre all so precious in their own unique ways and get excited to learn their personalities and little quirks. My neighbors, friends, and family quite often have me watch their pets while theyre away. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet, but you can be at peace knowing your furbabies will be safe and loved by me as if they are my own. I also love taking pictures so always expect some cute high quality photos of your furbaby while I care for them💖 I am between jobs right now so I have some time to provide full care as needed. Im pretty flexible when it comes to times as well, I can be up early or late and adjust to what the pet owner needs from me 🙂 I KNOW how scary it can be to leave your furbabies life in another person's hands, let alone a stranger. Know that safety and attention to details are top priority for me. I treat humans like id want to be treated and animals like I treat my own😊 I understand the importance of little things like not letting an indoor cat slip out of the door, keeping food out of reach, leash safety when out on walks, reading behavioral signs, etc. You can trust that your animals will be taken care of in the BEST way🤗
About: I have spent my whole life caring for animals! As a toddler and young child, I would chase dog walkers down the sidewalk calling out, “excuse me, can I pet your dog?” Animals seem to sense my love for them, as they tend to be especially friendly and calm around me. I’ve seen this as a horseback rider and barn volunteer, regular pet sitter for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages, and as the “favorite human” of many dogs in my life! I would love the opportunity to help your animals experience peace, safety, and fun while we’re together. My schedule is very flexible. I currently am taking a gap year from college and have free hours available to care for your pets. I have access to my own car to come to you. I am willing to come to your home, meet you and your pets, and take care of them, including feedings, walks, play, exercise, companionship, and other caring needs.
“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!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a kid. I’ve been a dog owner for 15+ years and caring for animals has taught me just how much love, patience and attention they deserve. My dogs have all been very fortunate to live long, happy lives and I have firsthand experience caring for senior dogs and their special needs. Including but not limited to: extra patience, comfort, and attentive care as they age. I’m also a very proud owner of 4 extremely spoiled barn cats. And yes- they absolutely earn their keep and they run the place! I genuinely love all animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines and quirks. When your pet is in my care I treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand that each animal has different needs and will meet them where they are- or what you prefer. I’ll also include plenty of pictures upon request :) I know how difficult it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m attentive, dependable and committed to making sure your pets feel happy, safe, loved and spoiled- just the way they should be! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies ❤️ I love animals and taking care of them is just another way to earn income! I work part time Tuesday-Thursday and I would love to dog walk etc on Mondays and Fridays. Spoiled. So spoiled is how it is. My barn cats are brought in every night so predators don’t get to them. They have a water fountain, access to food all the time oversized kitty litter and plenty of comfy places to snooze. My dogs get let outside to go potty multiple times a day and they get a treat each time they go outside. They get extras put in their food (for their special needs) and have orthopedic doggy beds.
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! Excellent communication from beginning to end. I had a last minute cancellation before heading out of town for a wedding and she took such great care of my two dogs. I will definitely be looking to work with her in the future! 5 stars doesn’t seem high enough!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs breeds. I currently have 2 dogs- a golden retriever and a lab mix. I work a full- time job Monday- Friday 7-3, I am available evenings and weekends. I have holidays off and will also be available then. My dogs have free roam of the house, including furniture and beds. My dogs are crate trained when I am not home. I am always excited to meet new fur babies and give them all the love as if they were my own!
“Kaylee was great!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I was away for 2 weeks, getting them plenty of play time and sending pictures of them every morning with little write ups of their moods and activities. She also went above and beyond when obstacles arose with their food supply and my changed schedule. It was a huge relief knowing my cats were being well cared for by someone that clearly loves animals. She’ll be their go-to sitter from now on”
“Aurora was amazing!!! We used her twice for drop ins while we were visiting the area. We all absolutely loved her (us and the pups). She came and met the pups a day before we needed her. All fear was gone, because they immediately took to her. She was very professional and always sent us pics. She was even very understanding about the campsites weird rules about visitors. If we come back again we will definitely try to get Aurora again”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats. We do tend to spoil them. I have lots of room for them to run and play in our fenced in yard. We walk them on a leash through our nearby cemetery. I currently work part time with Amazon flex. I will always be available if I have any pet jobs as Amazon flex is very flexible. I’m available for home and pet sitting. I have a fenced in back yard and currently own 1 miniature Daschund female 2 years old to help keep your furry friends playing or if needed I can use a crate with permission only.
About: I have always had pets growing up and continue to keep dogs as an adult. I have raised and trained a variety of breeds and ages. I just moved to the area, and my dream job would be playing with dogs all day. I will need most weekends for family, but during the week I am available. May be able to make arrangements for weekend. I would love to take your fur baby for a walk. I have 2 other dogs in my home. I can easily crate or separate dogs as necessary.
“Riannon took great care of my 2 cats. This was my first time using a pet sitter and she made the experience a good one. I highly recommend her and plan on using her again my next trip out of town :)”
About: I was born and raised on a family farm. From the time I was born I have been riding in tractors and taking care of all sorts of animals. Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. I have always loved rescuing strays and rehabilitating injured animals of all shapes and sizes. I now have three fur babies of my very own and they are my life! If you entrust your pet with me I will not take it lightly as it is a deep honor and privilege. I love spoiling animals and giving them all the love. If I ever won the lottery I would adopt all of the oldest animals at the shelter and take them to my pet sanctuary. Please consider booking me so that I can continue to stay at home with my human baby as much as possible! 🐾 I am very part time right now since I stay home with my little one. I pick up evening shifts here and there but I am fairly free in the evenings once my husband gets home from work. Let me know what you need and we can work out a routine! I typically work with children and for that reason I understand the importance of trust, flexibility, and kindness. I will always uphold your privacy and I promise to do my best in every situation. I like to call myself an “over communicator” so I will always share details on your pet and I’m pretty good at taking pictures of fur babies too!
About: I have adopted and rehabilitated many companions over the years. If your pet will benefit from extra loving attention I will be happy to provide it. Please provide detailed descriptions of your pets personalities and behaviors so I can provide the best care possible. I have a flexible schedule weekdays and weekends. I am a physically active person and will enjoy engaging your pet in whatever activity they most enjoy. When I provide drop in services I will follow your instructions thoroughly. The more details you provide the better able I am to provide the comfort and care your pets need.
“Natalie is fantastic! Very communicative and I could tell from the questions she asked that she was going to provide great care to my cats on her drop-in visit. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely rebook!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gettysburg is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,688 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gettysburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 with handling special pet needs in Gettysburg. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
