About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.

About: I was known for rescuing stray kittens in my hometown neighborhood since I could walk & owned my first dog at 12 years old (a shetland sheepdog I fell in love with). Since then, I have owned, raised, loved and been around a multitude of animals educating myself on different breeds. I then became a manager at a pet store for 2 years which included learning a variety of pet care including some vetinarian work and grooming. I promise to be alert to your pets' needs and giving to their wants. My job is to provide whenever life prevents you from being able to do so. I am currently available most Mondays-Fridays before 6:45am and after 5:45pm, and usually all day Saturday and Sundays. I am currently working full time as well as being a single mother so these things can affect my schedule and availability so the more advanced notice I have the better I can arrange. I will gladly feed & water your fur baby, let them out to potty, do long walks, play with them, give medication as needed, and more. 🐾 This is part-time work for me on top of an already full-time job. Since I'm unable to currently have any pets of my own, this is a great side gig to get my "fix". You let me know the environment your pet needs and I'll build the trust to help them feel safe. I want to make you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it. I can make the best out of any situation. Coming into a client’s home I will always ask the routine and/or needs your pet(s) has and make sure to keep them company when they need it
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little, dogs and cats. Have also had 3 dogs and a cat growing up! I can also take care of senior animals. I’m a full time student at Ohio State but mostly free in the morning and evenings and weekends! I am able to attend your animals when needed I am comfortable with anything. I am able to walk any kind of dog and be in an environment where I feel safe and can also put your animal in a crate if i feel uncomfortable.

About: I’ve raised dogs my entire life! I just moved away from my 3 dogs at home and I miss them so much. I also helped raise a 4PAWS dog throughout my last 2 years of college. This is my first time truly living without a dog and I would love the opportunity to help out! I am currently working part-time in my research lab during my gap year while applying to medical school. My schedule is extremely flexible on weekdays and weekends! I always make sure my dogs (and all dogs I watch) are on a leash, in a fenced yard, or have an invisible fence system in place. I additionally give so much love and affection past the basic services provided! I will love your pets like my own, ensuring they receive the best care.

About: I’ve been walking with another app, and I absolutely love it! I have a few regular clients I see, but I would love to add a few more fur babies to my daily agenda :) I’m currently saving for my wedding, and I’m a stay at home mom, so every dollar is greatly appreciated! :) I promise your babies are in great hands. I’m currently a stay at home, with more than enough time on my hands! Honestly taking care of the fur babies brings me so much joy, while I can still enjoy the freedoms of not having a “9-5” job. I’m very thankful for each and every opportunity’ The most safe!!! I’m a mom and I have eyes like a hawk! They are in great hands. I truly take a lot of pride in the work that I do, and I know each and every fur baby is irreplaceable and I treat them as such :)
About: I treat every dog like family—because that’s how I care for my own! I’ve spent years caring for my dogs and those of friends and family, especially while they were out of town. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra patience and love. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow strolls, or high-energy playtime, I adjust to meet each dog’s unique needs. Your pup will be pampered, safe, and loved—just like they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work part-time as a home health caregiver three days a week. On those days, I have a split schedule—just 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, with a break in between. This gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Outside of those hours, my schedule is very open, allowing me to give your pet the love, attention, and care they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own—loved, pampered, and well cared for. I make sure they have a calm, clean, and secure environment, free of hazards and full of attention. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, from meal times and medication to play and potty breaks. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. With my background as a home health caregiver, being attentive, responsible, and trustworthy is second nature to me—qualities I bring to every pet I care for.
“Elizabeth did great and went that extra mile to ensure our one cat Murphy who is an escape artist came back in and was safe and sound. Loved getting pics and knowing our gang of 5 were being tended to with care.”

“Jaiden was a great, she was always on time and followed our care instructions to the letter. She also sent pictures each time she visited and worked with me when our schedule changed. Highly recommend!”

About: All my life I have treasured and cared for animals. My family has always had dogs of our own as we have had breeds from Dachshunds and Akitas to Labs to Corgis. I currently own a corgi mix named Sierra, who is thirteen years old and she is definitely part of the family. I completely spoil my dog with time and exercise so you can expect me to take great care of yours as well. I work from home so I am available throughout the day to give walks, give potty breaks outside, and give love and playful attention to all sizes (and ages) of dogs with the exception of pitbulls for safety reasons. I live close to Wolfe Park and Krumm Park as well as have a fenced in backyard. My work schedule is flexible so I would love to help care for, watch, and walk your dog as well as give you photo updates of your dog(s) while you are out of town! I have two dogs of my own and work from home full-time so your dog(s) would fit right into the normal daily schedule of activity, feeding and potty breaks. No problem at all! I have a fully fenced in backyard so your dog(s) will have the ability to run and play for much of the day and enjoy the fresh air.
About: What sets me apart is my 15+ years of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities plus four years as a vet tech assistant, where I learned to safely give medications, monitor health, and care for dogs with special needs. I’ve fostered everything from tiny puppies (two litters during Covid!) to a young German Shepherd named Maggie, which taught me patience, gentle training, and how to make even the shyest dogs feel at home. I work from home at a tech startup, so most of the day your pup will have me at their disposal! I’m also available for boarding on weekends. I love taking dogs on daily walks around the city to explore and get plenty of exercise. At home, your pup will be part of my family and get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I share my home with Sonny, my easygoing border collie mix, who’s been my best friend for four years. He loves every dog he meets whether they want to play or just coexist peacefully so your pup will have a friendly companion if they’d like one.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Johnstown 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 .
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
