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 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!”
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.
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'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.
“Abby was our first introduction to the Rover experience with caring for our pets in our home. She provided great communication, pix and 3x daily reports after each visit which gave us great peace of mind! Our dogs are two mixed breed rescues who can be anxious. Abby did great with both. 10/10 recommend Abby and River!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My experience with dogs started when I was just 4 years old, when my grandmother raised Cocker Spaniels. Growing up, I was also lucky enough to have dogs and cats of my own, which helped me develop a genuine love and understanding of animals. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I currently have a shelter dog mix of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, keep them happy and comfortable, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m currently looking to pursue this as a full time opportunity. So I am available all days and times that align with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have one dog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs.
“Audrey did an amazing job watching over my cat, Binx. It is always hard to leave her behind, but it was truly such a relief to know my baby was being taken care of. I would use Audrey again for sure!”
“I am so overjoyed to have found an amazing dog sitter for Nola! My lab is slightly fearful and I wasn’t sure how the first session would go, however, Tess was a natural and my lab is tired from her fun adventures! I can’t be more excited to have her as our go to sitter. My mini vacation was so peaceful knowing Nola was in great hands. Multiple photos were shared to assure me Nola was having a blast! Thank you so much, Tess!!”
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!
“Makenzie was amazing. She was kind; she asked all the right questions, which made us feel like she really cared about our pups and how we do things with / for them. We would 100% hire her again.”
“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: 🐾 Your pup’s new favorite walking buddy! 🐾 I’m an active, reliable, and big-hearted dog lover who believes every pup deserves plenty of exercise, attention, and belly rubs! Whether your dog loves a neighborhood stroll, a fun adventure on nature trails, or simply some extra playtime and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they have the best time. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own—with lots of love, patience, and care. Let’s get those tails wagging! 🐶💛🌿 I’m an early riser and start my days early, and I’d love to bring your pup with me! My favorite and preferred dog walking times, however, are any time in the evenings! I come supplied with doggie bags and treats! But please let me know if your pup has any allergies. I’ve been caring for my sweet lab, Bella, for almost 10 years. 😊 I can spend as much time as needed to make your dog feel safe and loved!
“Casey helped me out last minute to check in on our dogs while we were gone for a day. She was very kind and I felt took great care of the dogs. She had good communication which put my mind at ease about the visits. I would recommend her and would rebook with her again!”

Emma was great - she watched our golden retriever while we traveled across the country for four days! She has great communication, Mylo was well taken care of and the house was exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond and brushed him for us! We will definitely use Emma again in the future - she is trustworthy and reliable - your pets will be in great hands!
Cassandra is amazing! She’s incredibly flexible with her schedule when it comes to watching Bruno, and her communication is always excellent. She truly goes above and beyond—she even brings my packages inside! Most importantly, she treats Bruno like her own, which gives me total peace of mind.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hummelstown 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 Hummelstown 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 Hummelstown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
