“Elizabeth is amazing with my dog Louie. He has been turned down at quite a few places because of his pretty severe anxiety. Elizabeth took her time with him, allowed me to set up a meet and greet an did three separate days with him before my vacation when he would be spending 6 days with her. He did great and Elizabeth kept me updated the entire time. She obviously has experience with all types of behavioral and health needs and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals. I am grateful I found her and Louie has definitely become a regular with her. Now that he is home I can tell how much fun he had while I was away and as an owner of an anxious pitbull, there is no better feeling than knowing that!”

“I really loved the way Charlie was treated. He was very flexible with the schedule and always made sure Charlie was well taken care of. I also really appreciated that he always sent me pictures during Charlie’s stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well. I would definitely book with him again the next time I have a mini vacation and need someone to take care of Charlie. I highly recommend him!”

“Our dogs had the best time with David and his family! They enjoyed early morning walks and plenty of activity, which I know they loved. David sent daily photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with him again for future vacations—as long as he's willing to take our two dogs back after all the fun they had!”

“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”

“First time boarding with Patricia and she was great with our two dogs (Ollie and Indie). They are used to running free in a fenced in yard and Patricia has a large, beautiful back yard for them to run in. Her dog was very calm and friendly toward our dogs. I plan to board again in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Laura continues to take great care of our Australian labradoodle, Finn. He loves her house, where he gets plenty of exercise and playtime with other dogs, as well as a morning walk and lots of cuddles. Finn doesn't like to be away from us, but at Laura's house he heads right inside and doesn't look back. It's comforting to know that Finn is well cared for and happy, basically having his own vacation while we are on vacation. You can just tell how much Laura loves dogs!! And Finn loves Laura. We'll be back!”

About: Hi, my name is Micaela and thanks for stopping by my profile. I owned a pet sitting business for almost seven years before competing graduate school and starting my career. Before that, I pet sat part-time so I have over a decade of experience. I couldn't give up pet sitting entirely, though! I still offer services on weekends and evenings. I am privately insured as a pet care provider. In my spare time, I enjoy dog training and dog sports. I have two Miniature American Shepherds of my own that do agility, FastCAT, and obedience, and rally. I have experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I am happy to care for any size/breed of dog and worked with special needs pets, seniors and pets with behavioral issues such as dog aggression or resource guarding. I can also care for some farm animals such as donkeys and chickens. Experienced giving different types of medication to cats, dogs, and even exotic pets! If you have any questions about arranging services or if my services are right for your pets, feel free to send me a message any time. Before providing services for the first time, I offer a meet and greet visit with you and your pets for all new clients. That way your pets can get to know me a bit and we can discuss their care. Please note when requesting housesitting: I do not offer "constant care" house sitting. This is house sitting where the house sitter cannot leave the home at all or very minimally due to severe separation anxiety, etc. I work full-time and have other clients to see sometimes. All weekly walks and drop in visits are booked in arrival windows. For weekly walks and visits, I currently have several spots available in various windows. If you are traveling, please reach out for availability for the weeks needed. I am currently booking throughout March 31 2023 for housesitting and vacation drop in visits/walks. Please send me a message if you would like to check availability. I offer services in the pet's home for their comfort. Many dogs become stressed when staying outside of their home. This makes housesitting or drop in visits a great option to keep them happy in their own environment.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 9 years old, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I grew up with the sweetest Saint Bernard and have had 5 adorable kitties over the years. I like to call myself a professional cat entertainer. In 2023, I finally got my own fur baby who is spoiled rotten and my favorite thing in the world. I pet and house sit regularly for my friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even some horses. Sometimes that means staying overnight because one pup has bad separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable giving extra love and attention. Cats might be my favorite to work with but I love all cuties just the same! I’m working full time and right now, I get off work around 2:30pm. I am available for 30 minutes during the work day on my lunch break and during the afternoon/ nights. I have a large back yard and fenced in pool area for dogs with lots of room in the house for laying, playing, or exploring. I currently do not own a dog so any visiting dogs should bring with their favorite toys for extra entertainment. I am not living in a development but have plenty of walking trails in close proximity, including Big Boyd’s Tree Preserve, Front Street, Fort Hunter, and Wildwood Park. There are 3 cats living in the house who have been acclimated to dogs. We have separate rooms for visiting cats to stay with extra litter boxes, scratching posts, an abundance of toys, and a few humans to play with and love on.

About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ickesburg home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ickesburg.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Ickesburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 , 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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
