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.
“Barbara was very prompt with her responses and arranging a meet and greet before her first walk. Angel liked her right away! Everything went well on the first walk of the day, and Barbara communicated well about things so the second walk went even better. Thanks so much to Barbara for taking care of our senior German Shepherd, Angel!”
“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.”
“Diana accepted a last minute request (day before). She came to pick up key that day and did meet ‘n greet with husband to get instructions. On day of walk, she was on time, called when our fickle front door stuck in the humidity. On the call, after the door opened, it was clear both her and Lizzy our maltipoo were excited to see each other. We got picture and walk info. She left the key in our drop mailbox as she left so we didn’t have to worry or track her down. Very professional! We would definitely book Diana again.”
“We have been so happy using Rover! Our dog walker Raeann is very sweet, communicative, loves animals, and best of all, takes excellent care of our puppy! She is extremely friendly and is a great match for our little guy! We are so lucky to have her, and are so grateful for the ease and flexibility of the Rover app! Thank you Rover, and thank you Raeann!”

About: I was working in a Dog daycare for 5 years before I started my own business. In that time I also received my dog training certificate. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs in my time working with animals. Pet care is my full time job. All I need are the days you're looking for and I can add you onto my schedule. I also offer limited services on the weekends I travel to my clients for the services requested. Depending on the set up of the clients house determines how I go about looking after the animal. I always request that vet information be readily available just incase anything happens and I generally like to meet the animal first to make sure they are comfortable with me before I commit to working with them.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, including a German Shepherd and a Harrier, I understand that every dog has their own needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy dogs, going on longer walks and outdoor adventures, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and take safety seriously, whether that means keeping a close eye on a dog’s behavior, following specific care instructions, or adjusting to what makes an individual dog most comfortable. I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and respect I’d want someone to give my own dogs I’m currently working full time as an EMT with rotating week days and weekends. This means I’d have plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention and exercise needed on my days off. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re trusting to care for your pets, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I treat every animal like I would my own and take the time to learn their normal routine, personality, boundaries, likes and dislikes, and any special instructions you provide. I’m patient with pets that may need a little extra time to warm up, and I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I’m never putting them in a situation they’re uncomfortable with. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I’ll keep you updated and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoernerstown
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.

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.

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.

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.
