“Cassie was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was so attentive towards them, gave them plenty of outdoor time and followed every detail I asked of her. She definitely has our business next time we are in need of pet care. Thank you so much, Cassie!”
“Fray is the best. I have very spoiled cats who thoroughly enjoyed her visits and care. Fraya gave my cats 5 star treatment and play time as well. I loved the wonderful updates and great photos. I cannot express how happy I am to have found her!”
“Chantel was great! She sent pictures of Sabine and sent messages along with them to update me on anything with my apartment or with Sabine. I was nervous about using this service since it’s my first time, but she eased my nerves. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Annabelle did a wonderful job with our two cats Daisy and Lily. She is a very caring animal lover and our cats warmed up to her affections nicely. She truly seemed to enjoy taking care of them, and they enjoyed her attention and brushing. Will definitely book with Annabelle again.”
About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.
About: Hello! I’m Mags (Rover requires me to use my legal name) and I love all animals I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child but because experienced working with dogs and cats (and some bunnies) while working for the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was a veterinarian assistant for one year and then became an adoptions Manager for three years. This was the most fulfilling experience of my adult life, being able to help animals and the community daily. I recently lost my closest companion, Xander, about a month ago. He was 13 years old and I had him since he walked into the humane society at two months old. Through him I gained even more experience with aging dogs, medical care and many behavioral changes as he aged. While using positive reinforcement training we navigated 6 military moves, life adaptions to aging and the introduction of two kittens. I will take all this experience and use it to provide the same amount of love an attention for you furry family members as I did for Xander. I am currently employed part time and have many days free as well as can stay over night or board animals in my home. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with any client’s schedule as needed. I currently only have two cats in my home, so I’m able to provide boarding for cat friendly animals. I have a fenced in back yard and am usually not gone from the house for more than four hours. I also am available for staying over nights at clients houses for a more comfortable experience for everyone in the family.
About: I have house sat for dogs and cats for 10 years and I have cared for all types of dogs to include: senior dogs, puppies, small dogs and large dogs. I will be available 16 hours of the day Monday through Friday, and completely available on the weekends. Can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pets needs. :) I always care for the house I am house sitting for as if it were my own. Typically I like to go over the routine for the animals, such as walking and feeding schedules in person and make sure they're comfortable with me beforehand.
About: I have watched family members’ animals and my parents’ dogs while they are gone on vacation. Always made sure they have the love while their people are away! I currently work until 2pm and can easily come to your home and walk your animal or feed if needed. I can also offer weekends! I can easily crate your animal if needed. I can feed, give water, clean litter boxes, or walk your dog if you are unable to or just have a busy schedule!
“Theresa has been amazing! My pup is pretty energetic but easy to take care of & she handles him amazingly. I love that she spends the full 30 minutes walking him as I am working so I know he’s not missing out! I am very happy to trust her with my fur baby! And will be booking again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dogs recieved and the great communication with Nikki while we were away. She went above and beyond making friends with our cautious, defensive girl, and her care and concern for both dogs well being was obvious. I didn't worry for one second while we were away, such a relief!”
“She went above and beyond to keep my dog happy during visits by playing ball with him as much as he wanted!! Brittney was also very flexible with the other animals in our house and family that showed up on her!”
About: I am a dog owner that loves staying active with my dog. I have 20+ years experience with dogs and other animals. I grew up with horses and other farm animals so that helped me become very versatile with different types of animal behaviors . I will treat your dogs as if they were my own. I am a very loving and caring person and treat animals the way I would want to be treated. I am active and love to go hiking and be outdoors. I will do fun stuff with your dog based on your lifestyle and what your dog likes to do. We have a huge yard for your dog to run around. You can reach out to me with any questions you might have. Thanks for considering me! I’m home all day with the dogs in my care to play, cuddle, and walk! We spend all day keeping busy so they go home happy and tired!

About: Hello! I have many years of pet experience and am an avid animal lover. I love the outdoors so taking pets to parks and giving them a loving, home away from home is my personal mission. I am a prior army veteran with 2 active and rambunctious sons and a lovely daughter. I also teach microbiology and Zumba part time. Myself and my family will all make it possible for your pet to have fun and feel safe with us. I have no breed preferences as each animal has its own personality and will do my best to accommodate any animals in need of assistance. I look forward to serving you and meeting your furry family member. Please contact me with any special needs and I will do my best to accommodate them. Best Regards, Keisha I currently telework Monday, Wed, Thursday and Friday. I drive to work on Tuesdays and I love animals. We have a loving family and would love to welcome you to our home. I have a large field for a play area and can crate my animal or yours upon request. My dog does get along with other animals with no issues.
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've shared a deep connection with animals. I felt like an outcast a lot of my childhood but always felt like I could fully be myself around them. They understood me, and I understood them. Bonding with them has always come so naturally to me. My parents taught me the responsibility and care it takes from a young age. I grew up around many different cats, dogs, and other pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, etc. I consider the 2 cats I have now, my children, and would actually goto war for them😅 They always get spoiled with treats, cuddles, and different kinds of cat enrichment. Im also experienced with pets who need extra care or are in their older ages. I used to have a persian who was was the runt of the litter. He was sick for his entire 12 years of living and needed more care than a normal cat like extra grooming, medication, vet visits, etc. Ive rescued quite a few kittens and helped nurse them in my lifetime, too! When it comes to dogs, I love to include them in everyday things like car rides, hikes, walks or a trip to Starbucks to get a pup cup! I think theyre all so precious in their own unique ways and get excited to learn their personalities and little quirks. My neighbors, friends, and family quite often have me watch their pets while theyre away. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet, but you can be at peace knowing your furbabies will be safe and loved by me as if they are my own. I also love taking pictures so always expect some cute high quality photos of your furbaby while I care for them💖 I am between jobs right now so I have some time to provide full care as needed. Im pretty flexible when it comes to times as well, I can be up early or late and adjust to what the pet owner needs from me 🙂 I KNOW how scary it can be to leave your furbabies life in another person's hands, let alone a stranger. Know that safety and attention to details are top priority for me. I treat humans like id want to be treated and animals like I treat my own😊 I understand the importance of little things like not letting an indoor cat slip out of the door, keeping food out of reach, leash safety when out on walks, reading behavioral signs, etc. You can trust that your animals will be taken care of in the BEST way🤗

“Brittany was absolutely hands down fabulous! She was caring, gentle with my old girl, attentive to their needs, flexible with changing times depending on their needs. The dogs pictures she sent after each visit were priceless. Brittany really made us feel at ease to leave them in her hands.”

Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of my cats. In addition to ensuring they had their food and snacks, she spent time giving them lots of love. They were very content when we came home. I would recommend Alexis to anyone who wants to trust someone with their pets.
Justin was great! He kept us updated with lots of pictures at each visit and made sure our dogs got some activity in. He also was super helpful in bringing our trash cans and mail in while we were out of town. Our girls looked very happy in all the pics we got! We will definitely use him again to look after our dogs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,627 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McSherrystown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
