“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!”
“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!”
About: Have been house sitting, pet check-ins & walking your furry friends since 2020. Years of experience with all ages & sizes. Pets need attention while their parents are away too! I'm certainly part time, I have the time&love to give! I'm free to check in or walk your pets- Monday-Thursday 8am-3pm Pet check-ins can be as simple as making sure your pets are happy and safe, or include walks, playtime, feeding, and medication when needed.
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!
“I have to say that We were a little hesitant going into this, after all he is our baby. Not only did John alleviate ANY concerns, but he made us feel very comfortable. I really liked ,AND appreciated the daily notes you left us, as well as the text message check ins? Our pup is usually shy in the beginning, but warmed right up to John almost immediately; now I know why they call you the dog wisperer! John is not only very professional, but amazing with our Animals. I would highly recommend John to any of my family or friends, and will definitely be using his services the next time. Thank you for taking care of my baby like he was own!”

“Marshall is an incredible pet sitter! He is very caring, responsible, and thoughtful! Because of him we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing someone was caring for our cats just how we would! He took pictures and gave us updates on the cats as well which we appreciated! We are new to Rover and we are glad that Marshall was our first experience using Rover! Thank you Marshall!”

“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!”
About: 12 years caring for my own cats and dogs. I love going for walks outside, playing and giving all the belly rubs! Your pets will be in the best hands. I treat every one of them like they are my own. I’m very organized and detail oriented, so if your pet has a strict diet or medicine that needs to be given, that is no problem. I will make sure I give your pet the attention they crave during my visit and make sure they are happy and healthy when I leave. I currently work a full time job but am off Thursdays, Friday, Saturday and every other Wednesday. So any of those days are usually totally free for me to drop in for a visit. I have 1 acre of property in a quiet neighborhood in littlestown so there’s plenty of room for your pet to play if they so choose. A great neighborhood for walks and plenty of other pets along the way if we want to say hi.

About: I have spent my whole life caring for animals! As a toddler and young child, I would chase dog walkers down the sidewalk calling out, “excuse me, can I pet your dog?” Animals seem to sense my love for them, as they tend to be especially friendly and calm around me. I’ve seen this as a horseback rider and barn volunteer, regular pet sitter for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages, and as the “favorite human” of many dogs in my life! I would love the opportunity to help your animals experience peace, safety, and fun while we’re together. My schedule is very flexible. I currently am taking a gap year from college and have free hours available to care for your pets. I have access to my own car to come to you. I am willing to come to your home, meet you and your pets, and take care of them, including feedings, walks, play, exercise, companionship, and other caring needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McSherrystown
Jake was extremely professional and easy to work with. I needed drop in coverage to manage my cat’s medications and special diet while he was at my elderly parents’ home. Jake was so understanding and accommodating of their needs- they were very happy with the experience and totally comfortable working with him. All of his communication was clear and timely. I would absolutely hire Jake again!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in McSherrystown is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 .
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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
