About: I’ve taken care of dogs from my own or my neighbors since I was ten years old from watching them at home or taking them on the necessary amount of walks a day I currently work a full time job from 6-2:30 so there’s time in the morning to let the dogs out and feed before work and plenty of time in the afternoon after work to do the same and give them the proper exercise a dog requires. I have a fenced backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to roam after when being watched. The fence is high enough that no dog could jump. I had a German Shepard that never tried to make the jump.
About: What makes my pet sitting a little bit different is that my lab can come with me. I know how much some dogs love to have a playmate, so I thought I would bring that experience. Of course, I understand every dog is different. Before any stay, I would want to make sure our dogs are comfortable together and bringing Koda is a positive experience. I am a loving, caring, attentive, pet owner that understands pets are family. If your dog would like a four legged friend along for the adventure, we would love to meet you both! I am available early evenings for walks, and weekends for pet sitting. I work full-time serving people with disabilities in employment. My schedule can be flexible. I am happy to take dogs to the park, for long walks, or to play in your backyard. What ever makes you most comfortable. As far as my whisker friends, you deserve plenty of playtime too!
“Micah took excellent care of our crew! When a minor health issue with our senior dog came up, his communication was top notch and he handled things beautifully. We came home to well cared for babies and a house cleaner than when we left. Most amazingly, all the animals were calm, happy, and relaxed when we got home! We also received beautiful photos of them every day while we were gone. We will definitely hire him again and would be happy to give him a glowing recommendation to anyone !”

We will definitely look to book her again in the future!”

About: Hi! My name's Jessica, and I'm currently in a master's program for social work! I've grown up with animals and currently have 1 cat and 1 dog. I have experience taking care of my elderly cat, who was sick with kidney disease, so I know how to administer medicine, help them to eat, and be cognizant of behavior patterns. I volunteered at my local cat shelter for 3 years, where I cleaned the cages, fed them, played with them, and groomed them. Since the majority of my coursework is online, I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I spend the mornings and evenings feeding, walking, and cuddling with my cat and dog. I think it's important to take the time to make sure everything is secure like double checking that outside gates are closed and there's nothing an animal shouldn't get into nearby. My favorite part about having a pet is spending quality time with them and giving lots of belly rubs!
“Louis was so awesome! I’ve never left my pets alone with anyone outside of my family before, but I felt safe and secure with Louis in charge! Both of my dogs loved him and he took such good care of them. He even sent me some pictures. I will definitely ask Louis to pet sit again.”
“Olivia was amazing! We are in town visiting and she was willing to come stay with our pups in our Class A motorhome.

She made me feel very comfortable leaving our 2 dogs in her care and we will definitely use her again when we are in town!”

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 Littlestown 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 Littlestown 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Littlestown 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!

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 .
