About: I have experience taking care of animals professionally in a boarding setting and within a vet clinic (as a technician, not a doctor). I have experience handling and caring for more ‘opinionated’ patients/animals. From dogs with stranger danger or ‘spicy’ cats. I have experience caring for diabetic and higher needs animals and particularly am rewarded by caring for older fur babies, cat and dog. I have a deep care for all animals and always want to provide the best care possible. I work from home and am able to bring my work wherever I am, so I can stay with animals who cannot be left alone for long periods of time. I take care to build rapport with animals and respect their communication, going slow and reading body language in order to understand their boundaries and provide the best care possible. I look forward to providing quality and compassionate care to your furry family members. I work from home and can bring my work wherever I am. This allows me to care for animals that need more frequent care/can’t be left alone for too long. I am available for drop ins on the weekends (Friday-Monday) and some weekdays depending on my schedule. I can follow most instructions or requests within reason to keep your pet on their typical routine. I can follow medication routines, feeding routines and care needs such as crating, enrichment and training reinforcement (manners, already taught commands etc). I can clean litter boxes once per day.
“Sophia was a great choice for our cats and fish and I’d highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! 😊 She was super responsive and experienced with all sorts of animals, and kept us updated on our menagerie the whole trip. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of Axel for us! We know he’s a big boy and difficult to handle. We would love for you to come back again and help us out!”

“Maria is wonderful! We feel so comfortable knowing she's coming in to take care of our two cats while we're away. She sends us pictures of them and lets us know how they're doing.”
About: From Mastiffs to Shih Tzus, I have befriended and taken care of all kinds and sizes of dogs. My own Australian Shepherd lived to be 15 and loved hiking, swimming and so much fetch. I know how to take care of young pups, high energy and high maintenance dogs, as well as the old ones who deserve all of our compassion. I'm currently working flexible hours, so I have the ability and energy to step out to take your dog for a walk. I can do scheduled walks or on-call visits. I have house- and dog-sat for my whole life, so I can accommodate your pets' specific needs. I pay close attention to their personalities and learn to communicate with each dog.
“Kathleen was very kind and patient with our reactive dog. She was honest with how our dog reacted to her and made sure not to push her so she didn't make her uncomfortable. We would highly recommend Kathleen.”
“Elizabeth helped us out when our usual dog sitters weren’t available on a holiday! She was really flexible and kept us informed of how our pups were doing on each of her visits!”
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I could walk. I have always loved all types of animals as well. I have my own dog, a bunny, and chickens. I am always looking to make new animal friends ☺️ I have a full time job as a special education teacher. So walks will only be able to be done in the afternoon/evening. I am finished work around 3. Weekends I am available any time. Unfortunately I am not able to offer in home care at this time due to rules of the place I am renting. I do have a pick up truck with a backseat if they ever need to be driven somewhere.
“Emma was AMAZING! Our cats loved her. She was quick to respond, punctual, always updating us and made sure our kitties were loved and taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had a dog for 7 years and have experience pet sitting for family friends. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care. I would love to give your pets the same attention and affection I give my own! I’m a college student and work part time. On my free time I want to pet sit. My schedule is irregular but I can plan ahead and work with the pet owner! I have experience feeding pets, taking them outside throughout the day, and keeping their food bowls full. I also cared for my own small dog by bathing her, brushing her teeth, and cleaning her ears. I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for several years. Have a vacation coming up and want your pets taken care of? I can take great care of them! I am in nursing school during the week so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! If it’s a quick potty break, or a full day, I’m there! I can walk, play & feed your dogs if needed! Dogs safety in hot weather is my number 1 priority! When the temperature is above 80 degrees, I don’t recommend walks due to the hot concrete or gravel hurting your pets paws! 🐾 But I love a good walk and I’m sure your dog will too!
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
About: I’ve watched over and owned all kinds of pets from dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, bunnies, turtles, etc. Many of my family and friends have trusted me to care for and/or watch their pet(s). I have a way with animals that makes this not just a side job but a passion. I would be so happy to care for your friend(s)! During the week, I am available in the morning and/or afternoon before 3pm (except Fridays) and I’m also now available Sundays! Book with me today😁 Everyday I make sure my cat Suki has fresh water and a mixture of dry and wet food (that’s her favorite)! I clip her nails every other week and bathe her every month as she likes to go outside in the backyard often. I spend as much time with her as I can!! The same goes for any clients’ pet. I treat them with the love and care they deserve! I will always work with you based on your pets needs.
“Katie-Marie watched our two cats while we were out of town and did a fantastic job. She was very patient and gentle with them and they warmed up throughout the week to her. She provided thorough updates and photos daily which gave us a lot of comfort while leaving our babies at home!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,438 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gordonville. 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 Gordonville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
