“Cassidy was fantastic with my Doberman! Truly grateful for her timeliness and on-point communication! Thankful for her help with my baby boy while I was away! Will be rebooking for sure!”
“I cannot recommend Shyann enough! I had to make a last-minute booking, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Even with the short notice, they insisted on doing a meet-and-greet to make sure my dog was comfortable and that all instructions were clear—a level of professionalism and care I truly didn't expect given the tight timeline. They are reliable, incredibly sweet with my pup, and provided fantastic updates. It is such a relief to find someone so dependable and accommodating. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Kristin did a spectacular job! She took care of my pets as if they were her own! She followed my care instructions and kept my house in order. My pets were stress free. She sent wonderful videos of them receiving love and attention! I couldn’t have asked for anything better ❤️”
About: I bring immense experience to watching pups. Trail runs, neighborhood walks, or couch hangs — I can meet them where they are most comfortable. With a part-time work from home schedule, I’ll be giving lots of belly rubs and attention all day long. Im currently working part-time from home with a very flexible schedule — I have lots of time during the day to dedicate towards walks, play, and activities. Our house has a big back yard on a quiet neighborhood street. If you’re lodging with us, my sweet 7 year old pup Barley will be waiting at home to keep your pup company while they’re with us.
“Highly recommended, and definitely my family will reach out to him again soon! He was so easy to communicate and flexible with my time. My not so friendly dog became his friend instantly and had enough walks and attentions while my family was out of town. He was giving me daily reports and cute pictures of my dog. I would give him more stars if I can!”
“Diana did an excellent job watching my cat while I was away for a week. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend Diana and will be using her again for any trips I take”
“Brandy is amazing! I highly recommend her help. She was so friendly, prompt and responsive and clearly cares about and is a natural with animals. I could tell my cats were in very good hands. Thanks again, Brandy!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner currently owned by three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger 😸 With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, including medical support—my cat Chewy has asthma, so I’m experienced with daily treatments and paying attention when something seems off. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes, from my own growing up to helping with my brother’s Great Dane. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with patience, reliability, and the same attention I’d want for my own pets. Since I work from home in Hummelstown, I have flexibility in my schedule that makes pet care a great fit. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can reliably stop by in the morning, during lunch, and after work for visits, walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’d rather provide consistent, attentive care to nearby pets than overextend myself. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines and feel safe in their own environment. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any little quirks or preferences that make your pet comfortable. Safety is very important to me, whether that means double-checking doors and gates, following leash safety, being mindful of food restrictions, or simply paying attention if a pet seems stressed or not acting like themselves. As a longtime pet owner—including caring for a cat with daily medical needs—I know how important attentiveness and consistency are. I also understand the trust involved in having someone care for your pets and enter your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Abby is the sitter everyone needs. She is reliable and thoughtful. She is able to navigate a changing landscape like adjusting to give meds. Thanks to her I have peace of mind when my little guy can’t be with me.”
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.
“Siyani helped us so much by being Bella's personal buddy while we hosted a function at our home! Bella still gets overstimulated with a lot of guests at our house and having Siyani walk her around, play with her, and help her get water when needed was an amazing help! Thank you so much! 💓”
“Beth was amazing and took such good care of our cat!! She was very understanding with a communication error in the beginning, and spent a lot of time playing with our cat who can be shy at first but warmed right up to her! We will definitely be using her again- thanks Beth!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hershey
Cassidy was great to work with and my cat was well taken care of. Getting the detailed notes and photos after each visit was super helpful and I felt at ease receiving updates. I came home to the litter trash taken out and the pet dishes cleaned and dried. Highly recommend Cassidy for her excellent services
Brandy noticed that the house seemed hot, checked the thermostat, and contacted me to let me know we might have a problem with our hvac system. She checked a few things for us, and it became clear the system was broken. I was able to call a repair service and set up an appointment for a repairman to come out the afternoon we arrived home. We appreciate her attention to detail!
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🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hershey on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,904 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hershey. 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 Hershey 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
