“Lorrie was great, showed up at the correct times and the pups took right to her. Gave us lots of photos for visits and would recommend and use again if I am in the area!”
“Margaret is exceptional-caring, dependable, and trustworthy. Our pup loves when she visits which makes us feel comfortable when we have to leave her at home, whether for a few hours or a few days. Highly recommend.”
About: There has always been a pet in the home since childhood, I’ve watched and taken care of 5 personally owned dogs from puppyhood to adulthood! I have babysat my aunts cat Tammy for a few months now, and I have taken care of my own dog Maestro when my parents are on vacation, or need an extra pick-me-up. I also have been volunteering at Humane Society of Harrisburg for about a few months now! I have always had a huge heart towards animals of all personalities and sizes. I’ve worked with nervous big dogs, to crazy little puppies! I would be more than willing to meet your amazing animal someday! 😊💕 I have a car available at all times, so I am easily able to provide as much time and energy as your animal needs. I also do not have a typical job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be super respectful of your space and keep notes about certain things your animal needs, and provide spectacular feedback on how your animal is feeling, how the day went, overall what happened during my service! I am a wonderful listener and I learn extremely quickly.
“Tracey has a wealth of experience that was invaluable to us as we are still navigating integrating a new dog into our family. She was very reassuring about her ability to handle their interactions which allowed us to relax while we were gone. Her communication and pictures were great and showed how well things went during the visit. Tracey is a great choice for your pets!!!”
“Rachel was amazing. Our three dogs were well taken care and we received frequent updates. She went above and beyond to not only care for the dogs but also in looking after the house during our trip.”
“Abigail was AMAZING!!! I was so worried to leaving my kitties to go to family thanksgiving but I felt so much better after she visited for the first time. After a few visits, she’s basically my kitties new bestie! I would totally love for her to cat sit next time we leave town!”
“I needed a lalst minute dog walker for our 5 month old puppy Yogi. Sunil came to the rescue! Sunil offered to come to our house the night before to meet Yogi. When he did there was an instant connection between Sunil and Yogi. Sunil is a dog lover (and whisperer) for sure! My husband and I have never met a nicer young man. This was the first time we left Yogi with a sitter. When I saw how Sunil interacted with Yogi it was such a relief and we felt confident that Yogi was in great hands. It was a very long day for us, we were gone for about 13 hours. When we got home Yogi was happy and was also tired! Sunil gave him a good workout during his walks I think! We HIGHLY recommend him.”
About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up, my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house; so throughout my life I have gained experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way up to seniors. I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. Helping people care for pets on here seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
About: Raised with cats and dogs my whole life. I've raised kittens and puppies. I've taken care of senior cats and dogs. I love all kinds! I work full time until 4:30 pm. I am available Sunday to Thursday from 4:30pm to 8pm. With communication I can possibly be more flexible. At this time I do not have a home for pets. I'm looking into other options to expand my business offering for customers. Stay tuned!
About: I am comfortable walking long distances with your dog and caring for multiple cats. I believe in cleanliness and a positive experience for your pets! Current healthcare professional ready to assist others when things get busy, available when needed the most. I believe in cleanliness in the home as well. I have one cat that is fed twice daily, brushed once a day, and litter cleaned each evening. He is a senior cat needing a sensitive diet.
“Amanda did a fantastic job with our dogs. She is very conscientious - she checked in with us regularly and asked questions to ensure she was giving the best possible care to our pups.”
About: I have had several dogs and cats over the years. I love how they are always happy to see you and they love you unconditionally I'm pretty sure I will be a little lonely without my son. I hope to fill that space with some special pets I work full time day hours. I work 2 minutes down the street so I could check on them often and spend the evenings with them 😉 I love pets. I will treat them as if they were my own. My son is going to college in August and I will be an empty nester
“Amanda visited my cats 2x a day. They were well fed and played with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation. She also went up and beyond by watering plants and bringing mail inside.”
About: For the past two years, I’ve looked after my own cat and learned a lot about keeping cats healthy, comfortable, and entertained. I understand how important routine and comfort are for pets, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and cared for in your absence Im available for evening pet visits after 5 pm , free schedule on weekends.

“Stevy did a great job with my pup. He enjoyed her company while I was away, and it was great to see him happy in the pictures that she sent. I highly recommend booking with Stevy.”
About: I have had 8 years of experience dog sitting, hosting, walking and staying at others homes for dog sitting. I love dogs and as I think cats are cute, I am allergic and unfortunately cannot watch them. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I love boys or girls! I enjoy going on car rides and checking out new areas for the pups to take a walk. I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a pittie/lab mix and his name is Bentley. He loves to cuddle, play with other dogs, and is sweet as can be! I currently work full time hybrid. I work from home tuesdays and Friday’s and off on weekends. These are the best days for me to have a dog with me since I’m home. I work a 8-4 job. I care for them by spending time, making sure they are fed, walked, and loved on. I have my dog who enjoys chilling or playing with the dogs depending on what the other dog prefers. Pet care fits with my routine as I am hybrid for work and only live 10 mins away from my job. It is easy for me to run home over lunch to check on the dog I’m watching or if close by take out. I make time to spend with the dog I am watching and that they feel comfortable in my home. While dogs are in my home, I treat them like my own. They are able to sleep with me, be on furniture, etc. I take them for walks to get exercise. With parent permission I make ice cream treats (blueberries & Greek yogurt frozen together) and give them to the dog. I make sure they feel comfortable, are fed and have plenty of water. If a parent would like me to administer meds or give a bath, I am happy to do so!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Good Hope
Taylor is absolutely wonderful! She’s always been so accommodating, and when I needed help at the last minute, she really came through for me. The girls absolutely love her, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s reliable, helpful, and such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Taylor!
Brooke is a wonderful cat sitter! She is never short on affection and attention for my cats, and they are very taken with her. It's hard to find that, and that's why we truly love her so much! I trust Brooke with my babies, as well as my home, which is why she is always welcome here. I very highly recommend Brooke!
First time using Lauren and was happy with her care and attention to our two dogs. She walked and played with both dogs, especially our younger one who needs more exercise. She kept in regular communication, sending messages when needed, and providing pictures. The dogs were fine and the house seemed in good order when we got home!.
Mae did an amazing job stopping by to watch our dog Theo! She was reliable, caring, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated and made sure Theo got plenty of attention and care during her visit. We’d definitely have Mae watch Theo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
