“I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sarah again. My senior kitty greeted her at the door and she sent lots of pictures. I was glad to see that he was happy. I’m very happy with her service!”
“I have two very friendly chocolate labs that are extremely excitable and can intimidate a lot of people. Michael did an absolutely wonderful job. Would recommend him to anyone and will definitely book him again.”
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kari was an absolute rockstar Petsitter. Our kitty has diabetes, so he needs his insulin shot daily within a specific time period. Kari was on time every day and sent photos throughout our whole 2 week trip. Not only did she take great care of our cat, but she made she to take the trash out and keep everything straightened so the house didn’t smell like we’d been gone for a while. We will absolutely request her for future trips!”
About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Family, friends, and colleagues. I love to serve all those around me and help to make their lives simpler and less stressful I am a graduate physical therapy student at Messiah University with a predictable class schedule. I am available most mornings, evenings, and lunchtime hours for dog walks or quick let out visits so your dog can get outside and stay comfortable. My current housing does not allow me to keep pets in my own home. However, I am available for overnight stays in your home to provide consistent care and support for your dog in their familiar environment.
“Mae did an amazing job stopping by to watch our dog Theo! She was reliable, caring, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated and made sure Theo got plenty of attention and care during her visit. We’d definitely have Mae watch Theo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Macey was great. Other family member said Little girl (Harriet) and Buddy missed Macey. She sent me pictures of the babies every day and replies. I get anxious about leaving the dogs but she was great!!”
“Amanda visited my cats 2x a day. They were well fed and played with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation. She also went up and beyond by watering plants and bringing mail inside.”
“Chentel came highly recommended by a good friend of mine and I see why! She goes above and beyond to ensure my fur baby is happy and content. She is extremely communicative and keeps me in the loop. My pup can be challenging at times, but Chentel has been so patient with her. It is evident that she has had a LOT of experience with animals. She has a great energy about her and it’s so comforting to know my dog is safe with her!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I currently have an 11-year-old dog and help care for my daughter’s cat, who’s been with us for two years. Before that, we had two beloved cats for over a decade. I also raised chickens for many years and grew up with a family dog. I’m reliable, gentle, and truly enjoy being around animals—they’ve always been a part of my home. Animals are part of my everyday life. I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and into the evening. Whether your pet needs care during the week or on weekends, I can make it work. I enjoy spending time with animals and caring for them fits easily into my routine—this is an activity / service that I genuinely value. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I respect their personalities—whether they need extra attention or space to warm up—and I keep things clean, calm, and low-stress. I also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you're away.
About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me
“Lauren was great! I used her for a drop-visit. We did a meet and greet before she took care of Keeva. She was personable, friendly and loved on Keeva right away. I highly recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Bayleigh did a great job watching my cats! She provided updates and plenty of photos and pictures each day. She spent time playing with them which I know they appreciated and she did everything I requested during her visit. Would definitely book her again!”
“Very friendly and a fantastic pet sitter! Lynn went above and behind to come out and meet our dog ahead of time and to send multiple videos and photos while we were away so we could see how he and our cat were doing! We only needed someone to let the dog out and make sure he was fed, but she stayed a bit and played with him so he wouldn’t be lonely. Thank you!”
“We hired Sunil and Sowmya for drop in visits. We received many pictures each visit of our happy pup while he was in the yard, eating and going on walks. We knew exactly when these visits took place. I would definitely recommend Sunil and Sowmya for dog sitting and will be contacting them again in the future.”
About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.

I have a huge green grass area in front of my house, a great backyard at my gma’s house and a great neighborhood for walks!
Mechanicsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christine went above and beyond our expectations! She arrived early for her scheduled drop in visits and provided thorough updates for each visit. I am so thankful to have found her because she is an amazing pet sitter. Not only is she reliable, she was wonderful with our fur babies! It provides such peace of mind to know they are well taken care of when we are away.
Taylor was great! She took excellent care of our dogs, making sure they had their morning feedings and even sitting on the floor with them to ensure they didn’t eat each other’s food since they’re on different diets. She gave them lots of love and attention, and the girls were always excited to see her—tails wagging every time she arrived. She also brought in our mail and packages, which was greatly appreciated even though it wasn’t expected. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and felt loved while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Taylor and would gladly use her again in the future! 🐾💕
First time using Lauren and was happy with her care and attention to our two dogs. She walked and played with both dogs, especially our younger one who needs more exercise. She kept in regular communication, sending messages when needed, and providing pictures. The dogs were fine and the house seemed in good order when we got home!.
Dana was great with my animals. She came over to meet them prior to the visit and was so good with them all, including the cats. She played with our dog and he liked her. She was prompt for walking him and later checked in to see if he needed another walk before we got home. I will definitely be using her again to care for my fur babies.
Elena was fantastic with our kitties. She did all that was asked of her and when we returned home after a week away, our cats were very indifferent to our arrival home which shows us they were well taken care of and given lots of love in our absence. We will definitely be using Elena again to watch our fur babies when needed!
