About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
About: I have been an animal lover since I was young child. I even save bugs stuck inside! I have lifelong experience providing care to all sorts of pets including rodents, dogs and cats, both inside and outside. I have very strong beliefs about taking care of animals. I feel we are blessed to have animals in our lives and should treat them with love and dignity. I highly value kindness and compassion towards humans and animals alike. I am a very patient and loving person. I enjoy spreading that love and patience to all animals. I have owned 2 dogs, both of which with severe anxiety and leash reactivity. I met with a dog trainer and learned specific ways to help dogs dealing with those. I love to be outside and walk, especially with a dog. Exercise is so important to animals. I would adore getting to know your pets! I will give them all the snuggles they deserve! During the summer, I am available almost all of the time, even on the weekends. I am a teacher so, once school starts back in the fall, I will still be an active pet-care giver, but unfortunately my schedule will change. I am not able, at this time, to care for pets at my own home. I am MORE than happy to come to your home, walk your dog, and feed and give water to your pets.
“I’ve used Sadie a few times now to watch my 2 cats while I’m gone. She’s always willing to watch them, even when I ask last minute. She is quick to respond back about it and she does a great job. I definitely recommend her and will continue to keep using her to watch them in the future!”
“Jessica was great with our cats. The one is usually not big on people and she would come out for pictures every visit. She was very detailed in her report after each detail. Highly recommend.”
“Alexandra is awesome! Very responsive and reliable. Always attentive to the well being of my girl! You can tell she is very passionate about animals and i never worry when callie is in her care. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember; from dog sitting for families in my community to working professionally in a veterinary office for three years as a veterinary technician and kennel assistant. In that role, I helped with pets that were boarded whether it was feeding, exercising, monitoring, or just caring and loving for them. My role also included administering medications and ensuring each animal was comfortable, healthy, and well cared for 100% of the time. Working in a veterinary setting taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, an extended period of care, or extra patience and attention, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and dedication that I do my own two dogs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and in caring hands. I’m currently in summer training for college sports as well as a few other various commitments, but I will do my best to accommodate the care needed for your pet! I will follow directions for caring for pets in their homes to a tee with close attention, and ask questions when not sure. Since I have 2 dogs of my own, I unfortunately cannot care for pets in my home.
About: I've owned and cared for pets of all sorts, as well as show and farm animals, since I was a small child. I love them all and they all usually love me, even the one's people say don't like men/people. I'm also big and boisterous, equating to perfect (but kind) dominance and control, as well as capabilities the average person might not be able to do, like separating dog fights or controlling unruly large animals. I'm currently self-employeed and can craft my schedule at will to fit any needs! Available for walks, sitting, overnight boarding, and pop in visits at all times. I have 3 dogs, 6 cats, and a frog. Large home and almost a half acre yard, fence coming soon. I am no stranger to all types of animals and animal care.
About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I work as a nurse at Hershey Medical part time and I'm looking to take care of pets in my free time! My last dog had diabetes and other health issues so I’m experienced with administering shots and medications. He was also blind so I’m experienced with those pups who cannot see! I fostered kittens and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience with rabbits and guinea pigs. I will be sure to send pictures of your fur babies while you are away! I'm currently working part time as a nurse so I can provide care to your animal on my days off which will be provided in my availability calendar. Currently, my house is under construction so I cannot board any animals. I can come to your house though to feed, water, play, walk, and snuggle!
“Dina always does a wonderful job with our cats! She pays attention to details and always makes us feel like our cats are well taken care of. We will definitely use her again!”
“Taylor did a great job with our cat Blanco, provided consistent comments and great photos! Also very kindly agreed to a last minute addition of feeding our fish, which we were very grateful for!”
“Clara has helped us out so many times with both of our pups. My girls absolutely loved her and got so excited to see her. My puppy had tummy issues and had an accident in her crate which got on herself, Clara was more then willing to give her a bath and clean out her crate so my pup wouldn’t have to sit in it all day! She’s amazing with communication and will respond quickly when she’s able too! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to truly care about your animal while you’re gone!!”
“Karla is absolutely fantastic! She’s extremely reliable, flexible, and always willing to help on short notice. I never have to worry when she’s caring for my dogs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!”
About: Hi! I’m Cassie! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always loved caring for pets of all kinds, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even a guinea pig, and I’ve had the opportunity to help care for pets with a variety of needs and temperaments. My family has had six cats throughout my life, and I currently help care for our two cats. I also grew up with my dog, Maddie, a German Shepherd/Heeler mix, who is now enjoying her senior years. Caring for her has given me lots of experience understanding the needs of an older dog while still keeping up with her occasional puppy energy! More recently, in August 2025, I adopted my own perfect kitten, Willa, from a rescue in Philadelphia. During my last year of college, I also fostered numerous other cats and kittens, which gave me even more hands-on experience with everything from helping shy or nervous cats feel comfortable to keeping playful kittens happy and entertained. I’ve also cared for pets in my neighborhood through walking, feeding, pet sitting, and simply keeping them company, and I’ve always loved getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I’m comfortable administering pills and accommodating pets with special needs, medical conditions, or disabilities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful kitten, a laid-back adult, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry friend! :) I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, so my weekday availability is primarily outside of working hours. I’m available for walks and check-ins after 5 PM on weekdays, and if you’re located close to me, I may also be able to accommodate early-morning walks or check-ins before work. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and see what works best! I am prepared to follow any directions that are given to me whether that is for an in-house visit or a walk with your furry friend!
“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.”

I cannot say enough amazing things about Maria!! Having two pit bulls can be daunting to some and I am always apprehensive when leaving my pups for an extended period of time. Not everyone understands the stigma behind the bully breed so it is always a huge source of anxiety for me when I travel. She went FAR above and beyond to communicate with me and send pictures and videos of my babies daily. She instantly put me at ease and my puppies absolutely adore her. I will recommend her forever and be a lifelong rover customer with her🥰

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hershey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hershey choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hershey with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
