“I absolutely recommend Corrinna as a care giver for anyone's pets. We were away for Memorial Day weekend and were thrilled that she was able to fit our fur babies into her busy schedule. Knowing that she is retired and dedicating all her time to pet sitting and drop-ins put our minds at ease. We knew our pups would be well cared for, and they were. Corrinna was on time for the drop-ins and sent pictures and messages with every visit. It was obvious that she was loving on them and that they were happy and content while we were away. We will definitely be booking Corrinna in the future!”
“Susan was fantastic! All of her updates for Charolette were thorough and made me feel at ease that my pup was doing good while I was gone. Would highly recommend Susan as a sitter for anyone’s dogs!”
“Kayla is such an amazing pet sitter. Our high energy 2 year old GSP just LOVES when she visits for a potty break and to play. This is evident from the photos that she sends after each visit. I feel so secure with her entering our home and taking care of our beloved dog. I would give her 10 stars if I could! She is so responsive to requests and is the perfect substitue in our absense. She follows up her visits with a detailed account. Book a visit with Kayla... you will be elated with the results!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have lots of experience with small and large animals. I have 4 years of veterinary experience- from kennel work, reception, and vet assistant. I love animals and being able to care for them! I currently work three 12 hour shifts from 2pm-2am. My schedule is different every week. I have 4 days off and I would love to spend those to help take care of other peoples animals! I would prefer coming to your house and caring for them but would not mind bringing them to my house. We have a lot of land for running and playing but unfenced.
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!
“Adriana was fantastic! We have two dogs, and one is still working through some fear of new people from her time before us. We had a long time sitter that recently moved away and we're very nervous about introducing someone new. Adriana took the time to come meet us and our dogs prior to the requested service and was very patient with both of our dogs. She spent the entire visit outside playing ball and letting our dogs run even on a cold, rainy day. We will be booking with her again!”
“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!! ?”
“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!”
About: My wife Jessie and I have been around dogs all our lives. You can trust and rely on us to make sure your dog feels safe, secure, and at home while you are away. We take care of your pets as if they are our own! Unlike kennels and certain doggy daycares, we do not utilize crates or cages. We provide them with extra attention to make them feel at home and relaxed while you are away. This is especially important for dogs with separation anxiety. Being left in kennels or crates all day can leave your dog with heightened anxiety and traumatic stress. When you bring your dog to us you can be assured that we will make them feel at home and treat them as a part of our family while they are here. We will not crate your dogs and leave them like some doggy daycares and kennels, unless you request that they are crated. We will give your dogs the extra attention they need while you are away. I work different days throughout each week, but my wife Jessie is home full-time with the dogs and our kids. So one of us will always be here with them the majority of the time. We pay extra attention to your dogs so they feel at home. Feed them regularly as specified, as well as taking them outside to get exercise at least a few times a day.
“We needed a sitter for a drop in visit pretty last minute and Shannon was a God send! She agreed to a meet and greet the following day and we instantly knew she would be a great match. Our pup also was instantly drawn to her. She spent extra time with him after the scheduled 30 minutes, fed him, and even folded blankets on the couch haha. She brought in packages when we had deliveries and always made sure to lock up and leave a light on for our dog, as requested. Would definitely recommend her!!”
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
“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.”
“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.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mercersburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
