“Meilana was so wonderful with our puppies and she clearly enjoys taking care of dogs very much. She was able to do a last minute check in with them and even made time to come over beforehand so she could meet them while we were here to introduce her. Definitely recommend!”
“We have one high-energy lab and one couch potato lab, and Hailey & Joshua were amazing during their drop-in with both dogs. We look forward to having them look after the boys again!”
“It makes a WORLD of difference when you can go away knowing your pet is fully cared for and loved!! this was our third booking with Julie— she is the best of the best and we can’t thank her enough for her incredible care of our little kitty.”
About: Note: I now have a toddler and an infant so please be aware I will be bringing them with me to jobs. My toddler is extremely loving and gentle with animals and responds immediately when told to leave an animal alone. Additionally, please be aware that I am recovering from several years of physical disability. I'm doing MUCH better but still get winded easily, so I can play fetch or take your dog on a gentle walk but not a run. -------- I come from a family of pet lovers: my mom raised guide dogs for the blind before she had a family, and ever since I was a baby I've been around animals of all kinds. My first pet care job was caring for a friend's cats when I was a tender 6-years-old! Since then, I have cared for numerous horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish, poultry, reptiles (including snakes!), emu, donkey, goats, rabbits.... You name it! My strongest experience lies with domestic dogs and cats. Starting at age 17 I helped a neighbor raise two rescue pups whose mama was a feral dog from the middle east, which presented a very unique set of challenges: and, more recently, two other sweet doggos who needed regular medication. I've also had experience with giving cats medicine from caring for my own cats. I am very involved with each pet, taking time to learn their unique personality. I make a point of focusing on the loved pet I am with at the time, with physical play and mental stimulation a huge part of my time — even older pups just need patience, encouragement, and a gentler style of play! As of Summer 2026 I am currently available pretty much any time! My only limitation is not having a car while my husband is at work during the day but I'm also able to use the bus when needed. I have 10 total years of experience sitting both indoor and outdoor pets, helping continue and enforce training, administering medication in a variety of ways, and encouraging the unenthused to move and exercise. When you book me I will ask a series of questions to help best understand how I can help you and your pet in the specific situation YOU are in! Pets aren't one size fits all and neither are my services. :)
About: I've taken care of cats & dogs my whole life. Family, friends, neighbors.. I've also have worked with some dogs with training as well. I love high energy & older dogs, they all need thier own special love. Cats of ANY kind I love. I work full time but I'm off by 2 everyday, my schedule is very flexible & I'm very active. Can also do very early walks & visits before work. I'm extremely respectful of my clients house, property & fur children. Great communication is key, but I am very willing to do what the clients ask/needs
“Lisa is excellant with our kitty and her care. She sends us pictures every day and we feel confident leaving for 6 weeks. This is the second year we have used her and look forward to several more.”
“Brenda is incredible! I needed to be away for the weekend, and my teens as well, and I had never used Rover before. I found the perfect person. She loved and took care of our three dogs, not only tending to food/water/play but she also really took time to get to know and enjoy them. I definitely recommend Brenda and will re-hire her again, for sure.”

About: I grew up with dogs in the house, and now have 1 dog and a cat that cuddle and are perfect. I have 6 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, a Bachelor's degree in Organismal Biology, and a masters in biology through which I studied animal behavior. My availability is quite open for walks, play time, enrichment, training, and love. I would love to get outside with your pet as I know that life here is very busy. I take my dogs (and sometimes cat) on bike rides, hikes, or dog park adventures daily. So, your dog/cat can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation in the same fashion. Also, I can teach your dog or cat basic skills through positive reinforcement and patience.
“Victoria was amazing! My animals were well attended, the food bowls rinsed and in the dishwasher, the litter cleaned. All instructions were followed and beyond. I will definitely have Victoria back again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a little company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently a student, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to work around each pet owner’s schedule and follow their pet’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’ll treat their space with the same care and respect I would my own. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ll carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, and preferences, while making sure their pet is comfortable and supervised throughout every visit or walk. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, and communicate any concerns or updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilberton
Lisa and David were fantastic. I’d book them again without hesitation. They took wonderful care of Sunny and Pebbles for a week. Our cats are shy rescues, and they were standoffish at first, but Lisa and David patiently found ways to win them over, and soon the cats were playing and back to their routine. When our Litter-Robot malfunctioned, they had workarounds in place right away so the cats were never affected. Great communication throughout and they went above and beyond.
Julie was great! My fur baby absolutely loved her. She was consistent with communication (pictures/videos) and care for him. She followed instructions and schedules to the T! As well very polite interactions from the very beginning c:. If you’re looking for someone that will make your baby feel the upmost comfortable and loved when you’re gone, Julie is the way to go! Thank you again, I appreciate you so much! c:
Christy was great! She sent pictures daily and checked in for permission to give my Tofu a little Christmas Day treat while I was away. She was very professional when meeting as well and getting all the details. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my kitty was taken care of. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 11,752 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gilberton. 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 Gilberton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
