“Alexis was awesome! She stopped by on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to take care of our 3 sweet kitties. She went above and beyond - pet them, played with them, and made sure they were happy! Even our shy furbaby came out to play when Alexis was here. I highly recommend her, we will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks again!! ?”
About: Hello! I am an avid pet lover, having owned two dogs and a cat. I have experience with anxious and senile pets, as well as walking cats. I am also a quick learner for any other needs, so just let me know pet-specific needs! I love to cook elevated pet meals enriched with beef, fresh veggies, fish oil, etc and also am a strong supporter of animal enrichment such as treat puzzles and learning new tricks! If your pet needs to be the only pet, let me know and I can accommodate for you. I work from Monday to Thursday, and I have the rest of the time with no other commitments. As this is my only obligation, I have the time to give my full attention to your pet! Before booking, I would love to chat with you to make sure this is a good match! Getting to know you and your pet can help ensure a successful trip for your pet. I would love to know details such as your pets’ personality, likes/dislikes, fears, and anything else you deem important. I am located walking distance to a vet as well as Zonolite Park. We can go for long walks there or doggy play dates with a close neighbors’ dog if you would like! I have many years’ experience babysitting, so understand this dynamic well. My goal is to help everyone feel comfortable and priority is your pet’s wellbeing and happiness. I am excited to meet you and your pet!
About: I love animals and have grown up taking care of many different pets. From foster kittens a few days old up to an again mastiff, I'm comfortable taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. Today I have 2 dogs at home, and would love to care for your pets! I work in office throughout the week with occasional options to WFH if needed. I am most available after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends with enough notice. I will care for your pet and home as if they were my own and ensure they are safe and cared for during a visit. I am happy to take animals out for a walk or just play in your home or yard depending on your preference.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats ever since I was 13, family members and friends relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give medicine to their dogs and cats. I do have a full time job but do have a lot of flexibility. I’m also a night owl and also a morning person as well so late and morning hours do not bother me. I make sure to ask questions about the specifics of my clients pets, ask is there is any special care. I make sure when I let the dogs out I am outside with them no matter the weather. That way they have a watchful on them. I am always aware of my surroundings when I walk dogs. While the clients dog may be friendly, not every other dog is. So when I got for walks I do steer clear of other dogs out being walked.
About: I’ve taken care animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been animal sitting and an animal shelter worker for 4 years. My clients rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, medicate, and even take them to the vet if necessary. I have experience with senior animals that have specific needs and I’m also certified in training Service Dog and Therapy dog which give me some training experience. I have a full time job. My schedule is 9-6, 5 days a week with an hour lunch. On my days off I do as much with the animals as I can. I follow the instructions from the owner to the T. If I have any questions on concerns I contact the owner as soon as possible
“Amber is a life saver! She is super flexible, responds quickly and is very considerate about how we raise and train our pup. We have used Amber’s services several times this month and we’re very happy with the care she provides. Boba is always very excited (and relieved) when she visits!”
“Shannon is so sweet with my dogs. I have an anxious dog, especially with new people, and she warmed right up to Shannon. She was accommodating, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs and home were well taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“Ashli did a great job dealing with a challenging situation that came up with my cats’ microchip feeders. She was communicative and worked with me to find a solution. I appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile to make sure my kitties would be safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and hope to call on her again.”
“Caitlyn was an amazing sitter. The booking was truly last minute and she responded right away. She was super attentive to our furry friends and, when we returned, surprised us with teaching one of our dogs a new trick! I would definitely recommend her for anyone interested in having someone who is truly caring watch over their pets.”
About: I have had many pets growing up small dogs, big dogs, cats, and others. I come from a family where we love and care for our pets deeply. I work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of all your pets needs including my own. I make my own schedule for the most part every week so there’s plenty of time to plan around work. I have 1 dogs and a cat currently I take care of all they’re physical needs feeding, exercise, play time, and love. I personally enjoy every part.
About: I have raised 3 puppies for the Seeing Eye program by myself as well as helping my family raise 5 additional dogs, and I have puppy sat on numerous occasions for family members, neighbors, and friends. I have trained puppies basic commands, housebreaking, and behaving in public with other humans and dogs. I am most available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and I am able to work overnight most nights. My availability on Thursday- Sunday varies depending on my part time work schedule. I am a college student, so I will be away for some periods of time, but I have already marked off the days I am unavailable. I can give dogs bathroom breaks, meals, walks, basic grooming, pets, treats, and crating depending on the dog's needs. I will adjust my care according to the owner's expectations and or concerns.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 7 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mercersburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
