About: I have had pets since childhood and we've had them all: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards...and I want to take care of yours, too. I can handle everything from puppies to senior animals. I am currently a part-time writing tutor so I have time to walk dogs and feed cats and critters. Being a writer makes my schedule flexible and perfect for pet-sitting. If an animal is in my home, you can trust that it will be safe and cared for with love. I have a nice little yard for running around and plenty of room to explore and relax.
“We needed some help to cover when our usual dog walker went of town for a bit. Cassidy has been great with our pup! She's very professional, always arrives when she says she will, rain or shine. We get pictures and updates and in general she's great with communication.”
About: I’ve been walking my friend’s’ dogs over the years and I absolutely love it. I’d be more than happy to check in your pe, take them for a walk and make sure that they don’t feel alone while you have to be out. I work from home two weeks of the month currently and will be expecting to be fully home by February. During those weeks, I can come anytime of day but the other two weeks, I’ll be available Thursday-Sunday. I’ll confirm that your pet is healthy and ensure that they’re comfortable with my presence / actions. I’ll also follow all instructions provided to me and share updates after each visit.
“Paula was the answer to everything I needed! We have a new puppy who has lots of energy but still needs a lot of TLC. Paula was our perfect fit! She naturally interacts without little guy in a way that’s so reassuring. She asked all the right questions and is very communicative. She is clearly very experienced! I felt so at ease knowing she was caring for our little guy while we were away. She is creative with her walks, helped us train our puppy, and even gave us some very helpful feedback that helped our puppy acclimate to his new surroundings. I’d recommend Paula to anyone. Thank you for a great experience!”
“Matthew did a fantastic job taking care of our Boston Terrier while we were gone for over a week. He visited our home twice a day for feeding, walking, and playing and gave frequent updates. We felt so much more at ease leaving our dog at home while we traveled thanks to Matthew. We will use him again.”

I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior.

“We have used Abby a few times now to watch our dog Penny when we travel. All of the other reviews are spot on, she is dependable, prompt and so good with our dog. Even when we sprung on her that medication had to be added to the food for a time! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abby.”
About: I’m a dog mom that works from home 95% of the time. With 4 dogs and almost an acre for a fenced in backyard, there is a lot of time for fun activities, cuddles, and the zoomies both in and outside of the house. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dogs, and have enough space throughout the house that either can be made comfortable in a space if needed. My daily AND weekly routine are very flexible as I can adjust my own schedule when needed. Even on work hours, I have a lot of free time on my hands that allow for short walks or some fun activities in the yard. My dogs always have time made for them, so I would love to include your pups in our free time. My backyard is fenced in and is a very large plot to allow for a quick stretch of the legs and multiple potty breaks. Smaller dogs will be taken on a leash as the fence is a rail type fence, but larger dogs will be allowed to roam freely around the yard. If your pups are not dog friendly it is a MUST know so that space can be separated from my own, but still allow them room to run and grow comfortable in a new space. Dogs are let out every 1-3 hours, depending on what is needed and can be adjusted as needed.
About: I have been an animal lover all of my life, and was raised with 5 huskies. Since then, I’ve had a variety of animals, including a salamander, chinchillas, ferrets, dogs, cats, and hamsters. I'm looking for clients who will not mind if my son tags along for a visit or a walk, and an excuse to get us both out of the house (walking is a bonus!). I have experience working as a dog trainer with shelter and rescue dogs, so difficult behaviors are no issue! I would love to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I currently work 3-4 days a week and have availability Fridays thru Mondays (sometimes Tuesdays) to help care for your critters while you take long weekend getaways :) I treat a client’s home with respect, and do my very best follow routines as closely to what you do as I can. My goal is to provide safe, secure care thag you can rely on.
About: Ever since I was a kid I have been taking care of pets. From fish, to hermit crabs, to birds, to hamsters, to cats, to dogs, I have a lot of experience when it comes to taking care of animals. I have about 2 years of dog sitting experience under my belt, and I make it a priority to leave a home nice and in order. I am willing to walk dogs, care for cats, and watch your house while you're away. I am available 7 days a week to care for your pets. I will be working as a full-time sitter for the summer so just check the calendar and reach out! As a sitter, I will ensure that your pet is well fed, well loved, and well taken care of. I am flexible to you and your pet's needs.
About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!

Paula was the answer to everything I needed! We have a new puppy who has lots of energy but still needs a lot of TLC. Paula was our perfect fit! She naturally interacts without little guy in a way that’s so reassuring. She asked all the right questions and is very communicative. She is clearly very experienced! I felt so at ease knowing she was caring for our little guy while we were away. She is creative with her walks, helped us train our puppy, and even gave us some very helpful feedback that helped our puppy acclimate to his new surroundings. I’d recommend Paula to anyone. Thank you for a great experience!
Matt is new to Central PA and we are blessed to have him here! He’s exactly the dog walker we’ve been searching for… reliable, friendly, detail-oriented, thoughtful AND he’s a dog whisperer! Our dog, Clyde, fears meeting new people but he warmed up to Matt within minutes. Matt knew exactly what to do to build trust and connect with our pup. We’re so grateful to be connected to Matt and plan to use him a lot in the future.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hoernerstown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
