“Karen was a wonderful choice for drop-in visits for my two cats when I left on an impromptu long weekend trip. She came over a day before my trip to meet my kitties. She was patient and understanding with my one cat who just wanted to hide - and after sitting patiently and quietly, he finally let her pet him. She explained the pet sitting / drop-in procedures, and is generally a kind and personable person overall. Each day I was gone, she left detailed drop-in notes and took TONS of photos to show that my two boys were doing well in my absence. When I returned, they both seemed to be in good spirits, well-fed, and well-watered. I highly recommend Karen as a cat-sitter!”
“Paige has been wonderful the last 2 months! She would come and let my dog cheddar out every Sunday. Responsible and reliable! I will definitely rebook if I need someone 😊”
“This was our second booking with Taylor. She was always on time and communicative, keeping us updated with photos. We never had to worry while we were away, knowing our dog was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely love animals and treats them like her own. Our dog was so happy to see her, and we could tell he had a great time.”
“Meghan was absolutely fantastic!! She very kindly agreed to cat-sit for us even though it was a last minute trip. Not only that, but she managed to get a picture of our elusive grumpy old man cat every single visit!! I’m amazed. She also brought in our packages, both expected and unexpected. Overall, she is wonderful and you should definitely hire her! Should we ever need a cat sitter again, we hope she says yes!”
“Stephanie is awesome! She has excellent experience taking care of furries and completely trust her in my home. I have an older dog, who needs meds 24/7. It’s such a blessing we met her. Definitely will be having her help out in the future. Thank you Stephanie!”
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!
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!
“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: ** Recently moved back to Girard and offering services in the area! Since I can remember I’ve always been drawn to animals. All living creatures fascinate me. I grew up with fish, hamsters, a bunny named Ears and my dogs (both quirky rescues) Buddy and Bella. I always thought I’d be a Veterinarian or a Marine Biologist but I also loved creating and followed that path. With Rover I can do what I love while helping others and I think that’s pretty awesome! My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide ample time if needed to accommodate your pet(s) and their routines. I work part-time on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I care for my pet clients the same way I care for my own dog, dedicating my time to ensure they are comfortable and safe while making sure they get the exercise and love they deserve and need!
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.
“My Winston is not the most social cat, however with Abi as a sitter he came out and even wanted attention. Ruby on the other hand is the social butterfly, I always say if Ruby was a dog she'd let you rob my home for a scratch or a belly rub. I am extremely happy with our sitter Abi. She was attentive, loving and on time each day. 5 stars”
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. I have a fenced in back yard and a puppy who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. 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: 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.
“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!”
“Christina was awesome! Our high strung dog took to her very well and was very happy when we got home. She was very attentive. She brushed her and walked her, spent time with her and kept her from being lonely. Thanks again!!”

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.
