“Cynthia was an incredible pet sitter to my two babies Doug and Ozzy while I was away for work. She was on time every time sent me photos and kept me updated constantly knowing that I was worried about them. I highly recommend you using her for your pet's needs. I can't say enough good things about Cynthia and her work ethic but it 100% shows and her love for your animals. I will definitely be using her again for all future needs”

About: I have years of experience with all kinds of pets, both my own and of my friends and family. This includes dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, pigs, cows, etc. I want to give the best possible care to your companions! I am currently in college which only keeps me away for about 3-4 hours at most a few days of the week. I work a part time job that allows me more flexibility in scheduling as well. I have a long lead for dogs in the yard that is tethered as well as a handheld 30+ foot leash for myself. I have a large and small crate that is accessible.

With my age comes a calm and steady presence that helps even the most shy or energetic pets feel comfortable and safe. I understand that every animal has their own personality and pace, and I take the time to meet them where they’re at—whether that’s lots of play, a gentle walk, or quiet company.

My location is my employment is in Mount Joy. My kids are all Grown up and drive now - so I have free time to help others out. I love animals and can’t wait to cuddle yours. . I would Love to watch the animals at the location of the persons home for their comfort. However, If not possible we would have to leash the dogs at our house as we do not have a fenced in yard.

About: I've always loved dogs but that love grew stronger once I adopted my own dog! He inspired me to take a chance on myself and begin working with dogs, professionally. I've had extensive training and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve been working (professionally) with dogs for 5 years and caring for them is something that comes natural to me and is something I LOVE being able to do! I recently graduated from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and am now Certified as a Dog Trainer! Every day is a good day when I’m around dogs :) I currently work full-time and am a foster/volunteer for a local rescue so weekends will be my main availability but can consider services during the week depending on my availability and your needs! Due to having my own dog and fostering dogs, I prefer to care for pets in their home. The health, care, safety, and comfortability of your furry family member is my top priority. Communication with clients is also very important to me because I understand how hard it can be to be away from your furry family member. I care and love for every animal as if they were my own!

About: As a certified veterinary assistant, I have a strong background in animal care and a genuine passion for making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I offer drop-in visits and house sitting to ensure your pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re out of town or at work. Whether your pets need a quick walk, a play session, or just some companionship, I am here to provide a trustworthy, compassionate experience. My goal is to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as possible in their own home, and I’ll always follow your instructions to keep their routines as normal as possible. I know how important it is to have someone reliable care for your pets, and I am dedicated to giving them the attention and love they need while you’re away. Pet care is something I incorporate into my daily routine because I truly love spending time with animals. I currently manage my schedule around my pet sitting commitments and ensure that I have dedicated time each day to provide care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to keep a flexible schedule that accommodates their needs. For example, if I have scheduled visits, I plan my day so I can arrive on time, ensure the pets get the exercise, feeding, and attention they need, and then follow up with updates for the owners. Whether I’m caring for pets in the morning, during the day, or evening, I’m organized and reliable, and I ensure each pet’s routine is followed. When taking care of pets, I ensure to follow owners instructions closely, provide regular updates to clients, ensure the pet’s safety and well-being at all times, maintain a clean environment, and engage in activities that cater to the pets need’s and preferences.

About: What sets me apart is my professional animal-handling experience and my ability to work confidently with pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I spent two years working as an equine veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience monitoring animal health, safely handling and restraining animals, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and working in fast-paced situations. I also have extensive experience caring for and training my own dogs, including large breeds. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit their individual personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is a playful puppy learning good habits, a senior pet needing extra patience and care, or a dog that is nervous around new people, I focus on creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience. I am comfortable with administering medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners during walks and visits, and providing detailed updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I have a lot of time on the weekends to walk dogs but I also have some time in the mornings for a dog or two monday-thursday In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication instructions, and lots of love. I always pay attention to their body language and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and well-cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats and small farm animals for 12 years and I have a vet assistant certification from Animal Behavioral College. Experienced with med administration, puppies, rescues, and senior dogs. I’m currently home full time - basically my daily and weekly routine is to care for my animals and garden at home. I do travel out of state occasionally to sit for friends and family I’ve worked with over the years. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your fur baby company and active. A senior Great Pyrenees and a year and a half old mixed breed that love to run around and chase each other and balls in the back yard. My cat is very used to dogs and puppy play dates, and I’m able to crate your baby if needed.

About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Highmount

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,968 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Highmount. 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 Highmount. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
