“Jaideep was very communicative and easily accommodated my early morning drop off and pick up. He sent pictures of Sasha looking very content during her stay with him, and kept me updated on everything. I’m just passing through the area, but if you’re local to Harrisburg, PA then definitely book him!”
“The most outstanding sitters of all time. They truly took care of my dog like he was their own, gave me constant updates and always made sure my dog felt comfortable happy and healthy no matter what the extent. They really out did themselves! :)”
“Yianna watched our year and a half old lab, Mazzy, who still has tons of puppy energy. She was patient with Mazzy and provided us with updates and pictures. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again, we would happily choose Yianna.”
About: For house sitting a drop in care: I have taken care of friends and families dogs for arounds 3 years now. They range from 10 months old to 11 years old so, I have some senior dog care experience. They range from 10 pounds to 110 pounds. My dog requires daily pill medication distribution so, if you pet requires a daily pill, I am a veteran at administering pills. I also have oral syringe medication experience. I am a doctor as well so, if a pet requires needle medication administering, I can do that as well with instructions. If you dog requires long walks, I am the person who is up for the job. If you pet would rather sit on the couch and curl up with tv shows, I am also the person for that job! For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, 6am to 2:30pm and am available any time after that. I am willing to stay in the pet owners home and will be home everyday after work. I am available at any time during the weekend. For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience.

If you pet is required to go into a crate daily, I have crate experience and can safely put your pet into the crate when needed. I can walk your pet daily. If there is a feeding and/or medication schedule, I will follow the instructions given in order to ensure your pets safety and needs. I do medication distribution, litter box cleaning, walks, playing with toys and any indoor pet maintenance that you may need.
“Can't have enough praise for Laura's work. Her love for dogs is matched only to her attention to details. Every day we got detailed reports with photos and videos. Toby had a great time. We'll definitely return!”
“Heather was great. She watched our 2 dogs and they seemed happy and well cared for. Heather sent pictures to us every day. It helped us to know our dogs were doing well.”
“Woody had the best time with Brian enjoying walks and many cuddles. We appreciated Brian’s careful questions before accepting Woody to make sure that they would be a good fit. Woody was happy from first arriving at Brian’s home and happy when it was time for pick up. Brian was a wonderful communicator giving us regular updates on Woody’s stay. We can’t say enough good things about Brian and his care!”
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.
“David and his family welcomed our dog like he was their own! They took care to meet him ahead of time to make sure they would be compatible. David’s communication was amazing throughout the process. Would highly recommend!”
“Diba and her roommate were lovely guardians for my pup. They kept me informed while I was away and my dog obviously loved being in their home. I am very grateful to have found them and now have a safe caring environment to board her when needed. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Maura was the best! I was very worried about leaving my daughter's emotional support pup with anyone, but Maura put my mind at ease right when I met her. She was kind, patient, understanding and knowledgeable. She sent pictures to us everyday while we were away. She kept our Mozzie active and entertained. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Jenny is fantastic!! Her home is a dog’s paradise with a loving family and playful environment. Phoebe will be back and we won’t worry for a second about the care she receives while we’re gone.”
“Super friendly and welcoming! Kept me updated on how my dogs were doing and when I picked them up, she gave me the latest updates on when they had gone outside and eaten. Will book again when we need another sitter!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawnton
Tiffany has watched Poe before about 8 years ago. With Covid we didn’t get to use her for a little and then we’re using family and friends. Recently found her back again and Poe recognized her from his times before. He loves her and always is happy in the photos and videos. She puts lots of love into their visits.
We had a great experience with Rebecca. Bennie seemed happy and comfortable with her, and we really appreciated how patient and gracious she was when he unexpectedly had a few accidents despite being potty trained. We could tell that she genuinely cared for him and would be happy to have her watch Bennie again.
Kristen and her family are the best! Mochi is still really small and we hate leaving her at all, but with Kristen we knew she was not only well taken care of but super happy too. Through frequent updates we knew our girl had an amazing time and made some new friends for life. The next time we are forced to leave her behind Kristen will be the first person we reach out to, we could not have asked for anything more!
Outstanding pet sitter! Kirankumar saved me by accepting a last-minute booking over the weekend and did an incredible job taking care of Columba. He was extremely nice and communicative, sending frequent picture and video updates that gave mecomplete peace of mind. He strictly followed her feeding schedule, took her on frequent walks, and she absolutely loved playing in his large, fenced yard with his sweet and friendly Golden Retriever. Columba had a blast! I highly recommend Kirankumar to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 10/10

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Lawnton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Lawnton home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Lawnton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawnton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lawnton 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
