“Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.”
“Rita was amazing with our fur babies! We came home to them being stress free and happy! All three of them have different personalities and Rita was able to give them each the attention they needed. Rita communicated with me several times daily to put me at ease. It felt so good to find an in home pet sitter to keep the fur babies anxiety free!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have cared for them all at every stage of their lives. I have had experience with three puppies and one elderly dog, all of which I love/loved dearly. I would love to care for your pets like I do my own. I currently work a part time job at college and wanted to find another way to make money while also doing something I love (taking care of your sweet pet babies)! I have two dogs and have recently taken in my grandmas dog, all of which are very different breeds. I keep them on leashes while outside and always have an eye on them.
“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for 10 days. She is dependable, responsible and trustworthy, she was also very easy going with all of our pets wants and needs. She sent us updates and photos regularly and was quick to respond to our messages we sent to her. Our cat and dogs were well taken care of and so very happy while we were gone. Our home was also very well taken care of, she collected our mail and took out the trash. We will be using Sophia again in the future for drop ins and in home stays.”
“Shae did an amazing job with my fur babies. Made me feel at ease while I was on vacation with the daily pictures... Would definitely recommend her and I will definitely be using her services again... Thank You So Much Shae... Until next time 🐶😼😁”

About: I have spent countless years caring for all shapes and sizes of animals. Anything from fish, to guinea pigs, to horses, and all in between. I currently work full time, but my employer is very flexible and understanding of my schedule, and allows me to do whatever is needed for the comfort of your furry friends. I spend countless hours in your home, with your fur babies, to ensure that they are able to run and play, just as they would if you were there. I strive to make their lives normal, just like it would be if you were home with them.
About: I had a family dog for 10 years, from the time she was 2 until she was 12 so I’ve had experience with young and old dogs, I have also had a few jobs such as a PetSmart employee and an Adams county SPCA employee which gave me great animal care experience, I recently graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor of Science in Zoo and Wildlife Biology. I look forward to giving you dog lots of love! I am living at home with my parents now after graduation while I save up money to move out, so I am home pretty much all day so I will be able to give your pup lots of love and attention :) I will give you dog lots of love and attention while providing them with a safe and comfortable home, my home is very low key, perfect for dogs coming into a new environment, my family loves dogs just as much as me.
“Candace was fantastic with our two crazy dogs! They took to her right away at the meet and greet, which put our minds at ease. She watched them for 12 hours while we were at a family event, and they were happy, safe, and well cared for the whole time. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle high-energy pups. We'll definitely be booking Candace again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“We hired Kerri for the first time this past weekend to watch our dog and cat. We are very pleased! The animals were very chill when we came in… a good sign! We like the that she established her own routine while still following our instructions for meds etc. Loved receiving the pics! Sorry Maggie woke you sooo early!”
“Thank you Leilani for keeping my furbabies company while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks again. Will be looking for you again when we plan our next vacation.”
“We have always had family watch our dogs, so I was very apprehensive allowing a stranger to stay in our home, but Ronny was exactly who we needed this weekend to watch my two boxers. With one being a senior and one an 11 month old, they have very different needs. Ronny got to know them both individually and how they play together, and was patient enough to take the puppy on a few walks! I only asked for one walk a day for the older one, but he walked BOTH of them several times a day! The videos, pictures, descriptions of what they were doing and how they were acting was more than I asked for, and so appreciated this busy weekend. I was able to relax and focus on the wedding of my only child and knew my fur babies were having a wonderful stay-cation at home with Ronny! I'm surprised they were excited to see me and my husband walk through the door today, because I'm pretty sure they were hoping for fun "Uncle Ronny" instead! I would 100% recommend Ronny for a multiple dog, large breed house stay. He cleaned up and left no trace he had been here...not even trash in the trashcan! He even brought in a large wedding gift that was delivered in our absence & rolled in our trashcans from pick up! He went above and beyond and I can't recommend him enough!!”
“Emily was wonderful! She stayed at our house for the weekend to look after our dog, and he was so well cared for. We loved the updates she sent and came home to one very happy pup. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time hiring Melisha for a multiple day/night stay, and we’re checking the calendar to figure out when to hire her next. Updates and pictures provided regularly. The 2 dogs and cat couldn’t have been in more capable hands. Even with a bit of a ruckus with the 2 huskies hanging up on the poor cat, Melisha was calm, cool and collected. I can’t come up with more words of praise for all that she did in the care of our 3 pets. She’s going to be tired of seeing our name pop up in her notifications. :)”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I lost my dog several years ago and while my work schedule doesnt allow me to get another dog, I miss having a dog in the house. I believe dogs are valuable members of our families who deserve the best care while their parents go away. I will provide more then just care, I will provide your dog with love, cuddles and walks while you are away. I have dealt with dogs with stranger aggression and separation anxiety so I understand the extra love and care these dogs need. I am good at sticking to routine and understand how stressful change can be for a dog. If you chose to leave your dog in my care I will strive to reduce the stress of the change. On weekends I will be home all day with your dog. During the week I am available for house sitting, but I work in a fulll time job in Carlisle, PA so the closer to Carlisle the shorter the time I am away. Being away from their home and people can be stressful so at my house we spend lots of time cuddling. If I stay at your house I try to keep things as normal for them as possible. I follow the dogs lead, doing whatever makes them most comfortable.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to providing personalized, attentive care. I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether it's administering medications, sticking to routines, or providing extra playtime and cuddles, I go the extra mile to make sure your pet's experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Plus, I offer regular updates and photos so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in great hands! I’m currently in school full-time and work as a waitress part time. Whether it's scheduled walks, feeding times, or play sessions, I ensure that each pet receives the attention they need without disrupting my other commitments. I manage my time efficiently, so I can adapt to the specific needs of your pet, whether they require extra care or routine check-ins. My love for animals naturally integrates into my day, making pet sitting a fulfilling part of my week, while also ensuring your pet gets consistent, reliable care when you're away. When I care for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and special care instructions. I take extra steps to provide comfort and familiarity by keeping their environment unchanged, offering plenty of playtime, and ensuring they feel safe. I also take care of tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring your home stays secure and tidy during my visits.
“We've had Sarah watch our pets a few times and she continues to be fabulous. Sarah is to very vigilant & a strong communicative sitter! Plus our pets absolutely ADORE her, which I am so appreciative of.”
“Delaney did an amazing job with our dogs and chickens while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures during the week, and kept us posted. The house was just as clean when we came home is when we left it. Our dogs were happy, their water bowl was filled, the mail was put on our kitchen table, along with a couple of packages. Next time we go away, I will definitely contact Delaney again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hunterstown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 771 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hunterstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hunterstown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hunterstown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Hunterstown 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
