“Karen did a fantastic job caring for our dog with multiple drop ins throughout the weekend. It was quickly evident that Karen has a love for animals and helping others upon first meeting her. She helped make us feel comfortable and confident in her ability to help us out by meeting with us and our dog who is timid and easily fearful. She follows directions well and did well providing all the care requested for our dog including feeding, potty and playtime. Her summary visits were detailed, had many photos and helped keep us up to date on how everything was going. We had no concerns about our dogs well-being as we could tell she was being well taken care of. We would work with Karen again and recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Fourth time we’ve booked with Tate. At this point, that probably tells you everything you need to know. Tate is wonderful. She consistently goes above and beyond, is incredibly dependable, and clearly loves animals. Mae Belle adores her, and we never have to worry when we’re away. We trust Tate completely and can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Meghan was amazing. She completed every visit we requested and was able to accept 2 additional visits due to our delay in returning home. Meghan is very quick to respond to messages and sent wonderful pictures of our cats at each visit. Meghan allowed us to be away from our fur babies without worry about them. Highly recommend Meghan and will definitely call on her again when we go out of town.”
“Second time having Michelle check in on our cats, and even the timid one is now very trusting of her and was coming out from under the bed and all the way down stairs to get some treats with her :)”
“Paige was wonderful to our pups. We received cute photos and updates as to how they were doing. She played fetch with our pups and they seemed happier with her than with some other people. Very patient and got back to us quick! If I'm out of town again, I will be contacting her again.”
About: My name is Ronda. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I have also been a foster for a rescue group for years. Your animal will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I have a large home and fenced in back yard. I also have a doggie door if that is something your dog is used to (if not, it will be closed up). They will have free roam of the house when I am gone or can be crated if that is what they prefer. I will take them for daily walks or hang with then on the couch. Meds, special diets, or any special needs will be addressed. I'll text updates and sends pictures. Whatever you and your furbaby want, I will accommodate. I accept dogs of any size.
About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!
About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.
About: I have taken care of animals, specifically dogs my entire life! I have two dogs, One 5 turning 6 this upcoming winter, and the other 13 years old! I am a huge animal lover & I pet sit my friends dogs every once in a while and I realized I really enjoy it! I am also attending Waynesburg University in the fall to major in Biomedical Science Pre-vet and plan to go to Grad school to become a veterinarian I work at a restaurant in Girad! & I love playing pickleball, taking my dogs on walks, and enjoying the sun within my free time. Recently graduated highschool so i’m kind of an open book! I have two dogs that would keep other dogs company! I plan on doing dog walking, check ins, no at home sitting at my home but I am available to pop in other homes!
“Bridgette was awesome! She took excellent care of our cat. She played with him left us tons of pics and let us know how he was each day she stopped in for him. Bridgette was super helpful with remembering things we could us help with that we forgot! Like taking the trash down on trash night and grabbing our mail for us. I highly recommend her and will book with her in the future! Thank you Bridgette from us and Poe 💕”
“Anna did such an amazing job with our puppy Ellie. She arrived on time and treated our home and Ellie like they were her own. She sent many pictures of Ellie and it looked like Ellie had an fun time playing and snuggling with her. We will always go to Anna first if we ever need a dog sitter again. Thank you, Anna!”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have pets. I truly love caring for pets of all kinds. Dogs, cats, fish, etc... My schedule is extremely flexible, so I'm able to fit into whatever time slot is needed to best care for your pet, and keep them on a schedule. I feel the best way to care for pets is to earn their trust. It's never a good idea to force yourself on a pet, but to read their body language and take it from there.
“Lori is AMAZING!! She was so patient with my "special/difficult" dog and really went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and that I was comfortable leaving for the week! I would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking to have their fur baby cared for!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs around the house which has helped me form a deep love for all pets. I have stayed overnight and visited during the day for friends and family who needed their pets taken care of (both cats and dogs). I have even fostered a service puppy in training for a service dog organization. I love all fur babies like they are my own. Currently, I am a college student who lives at home so I have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I can take care of your pet anytime from 11am-10pm. I’ll do anything from letting your pet out, going on a walk with them, socializing them with other pets or simply giving them some extra love. I am also able to transport them wherever they need to go, whether that is to the groomer, vet, or even a trail to go for a walk outside of their home.

Stephanie was fantastic! Blown away by her professionalism, punctuality, communication and compassion. She went above and beyond in her care and attention for our cat and home. She even had to handle an unsettling situation with an aggressive raccoon in our house! Can’t speak highly enough about her. She is officially our sitter from here on out!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Girard on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 520 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Girard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Girard 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.
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 Girard. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
