About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner currently owned by three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger 😸 With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, including medical support—my cat Chewy has asthma, so I’m experienced with daily treatments and paying attention when something seems off. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes, from my own growing up to helping with my brother’s Great Dane. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with patience, reliability, and the same attention I’d want for my own pets. Since I work from home in Hummelstown, I have flexibility in my schedule that makes pet care a great fit. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can reliably stop by in the morning, during lunch, and after work for visits, walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’d rather provide consistent, attentive care to nearby pets than overextend myself. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines and feel safe in their own environment. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any little quirks or preferences that make your pet comfortable. Safety is very important to me, whether that means double-checking doors and gates, following leash safety, being mindful of food restrictions, or simply paying attention if a pet seems stressed or not acting like themselves. As a longtime pet owner—including caring for a cat with daily medical needs—I know how important attentiveness and consistency are. I also understand the trust involved in having someone care for your pets and enter your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
About: I have been an animal lover since I was young child. I even save bugs stuck inside! I have lifelong experience providing care to all sorts of pets including rodents, dogs and cats, both inside and outside. I have very strong beliefs about taking care of animals. I feel we are blessed to have animals in our lives and should treat them with love and dignity. I highly value kindness and compassion towards humans and animals alike. I am a very patient and loving person. I enjoy spreading that love and patience to all animals. I have owned 2 dogs, both of which with severe anxiety and leash reactivity. I met with a dog trainer and learned specific ways to help dogs dealing with those. I love to be outside and walk, especially with a dog. Exercise is so important to animals. I would adore getting to know your pets! I will give them all the snuggles they deserve! During the summer, I am available almost all of the time, even on the weekends. I am a teacher so, once school starts back in the fall, I will still be an active pet-care giver, but unfortunately my schedule will change. I am not able, at this time, to care for pets at my own home. I am MORE than happy to come to your home, walk your dog, and feed and give water to your pets.
“Raya is amazing!!! She went above and beyond to take care of Oliver and Mo while I was gone! She gave them spa treatments, took them on walks, kept the house clean, and helped my pup overcome some fears of the nail clipper! She provided excellent updates and adorable pics of her cuddling my boys- they clearly loved her!! I would absolutely recommend Raya to anyone! ❤️”
“Diana did an excellent job watching my cat while I was away for a week. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend Diana and will be using her again for any trips I take”
“Ashley and John took great care of our cats and chickens during our 2 week getaway. They provided daily updates and made sure our home was secure. Highly recommended and we will be using their services in the future.”
“Jill was great!!! She was able to accommodate us last minute while we were camping in the area. She even made a point to come meet the dogs ahead of time. Would recommend Jill for anyone in the area!”
“Beth was amazing and took such good care of our cat!! She was very understanding with a communication error in the beginning, and spent a lot of time playing with our cat who can be shy at first but warmed right up to her! We will definitely be using her again- thanks Beth!”
“Lauren has cared for my furry friends multiple times, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is always respectful of our home and incredibly compassionate with our cats. Her communication is excellent both before and during each visit, and I truly appreciate the thoughtful notes and adorable pictures she sends. They provide peace of mind while we’re away. I always feel confident that my babies are safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care in her hands.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My experience with dogs started when I was just 4 years old, when my grandmother raised Cocker Spaniels. Growing up, I was also lucky enough to have dogs and cats of my own, which helped me develop a genuine love and understanding of animals. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I currently have a shelter dog mix of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, keep them happy and comfortable, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m currently looking to pursue this as a full time opportunity. So I am available all days and times that align with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have one dog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs.
“Victoria is excellent! It was the first time I needed to leave my cat at home and I was nervous about finding the right support. Victoria provided me with clarity, daily updates, commitment, friendship and kindness. Sakura (my cat) was in good hands, thanks to Victoria!”
About: I have watched all kinds of animals I have been trusted by family neighbors and friends since I was 10 to watch & care for there pets! I have one person I recently start watching for and he told me I am one of the only people he trust with his animals and house🥰 I normally do it around my work schedule! I will make sure they are left out before I go to work and as soon as I get out of work if it’s on a work day! I have a 1 year old German shepherd she is a big loving baby and gets along with everyone and all animals! She is very energetic and she has a big yard to run around in!
“Once again, such wonderfully loving care for my cat :) I have never had such piece of mind! Brandy is thorough, consistent, and very patient. I feel more than comfortable leaving my animals in her care.”
“Alyssa did a great job dropping in on our 4 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We felt comfortable that they were being well tended to. We appreciated the daily updates and photos!”

While watching your pets in your home I will follow all your rules! If any messes would be made, I always clean up. Schedules will be followed and I promise your pet will be in good hands and receive all the love!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for awhile now maybe around 8 years and I have my own dog that is 4 years old and he’s really about medium size I am very capable of taking care and managing the time needed to take care of a dog. I will continuously walk the dogs and play with them as well as feed them. I’ve been loved by dogs always and will never try to force myself on them. I will care for your dogs like they are my own and take care of them to my best abilities as long as your willing to let me take care of them. I definitely will stay in contact with the owners and let you know if anything happens.

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 Middletown 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
