“Emma was amazing as usual - even dealt with a small complication of our garage breaking while we were away! Our dogs are very happy to see her and she is a great house guest.”
“Liz was a phenomenal sitter. We loved her warmth and kindness. Our baby gravitated to her right away. Liz made us feel comfortable which allowed us to go away a feel extremely comfortable. She communicated throughout the entire time and ensured us that everything was going smoothly. We hope to work with Liz again!”
“Talia always takes great care of my boys and girl. She makes sure they get walks în addition to playtime and cuddles. She always sends a bunch of pictures so I know how they are doing.”
“Renee was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our initial meet-and-greet, she took the time to build a connection with my wife and me, but most importantly, with Prince. She shared her previous pet-sitting experience, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood Prince’s routine, personality, and what works best for him. Renee cared for Prince while my wife and I celebrated her birthday locally, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was punctual, attentive to his feeding and walking schedule, and spent genuine quality time with him—from long walks to belly rubs and a little indoor fetch. Throughout her visits, she kept us updated with messages and photos of Prince, which we really appreciated. She was also incredibly thoughtful about our home, even letting us know it had gotten warm inside and recommending that we turn on the AC for Prince’s comfort. After both visits, we had a quick debrief about how everything went. Renee was communicative, caring, dependable, and clearly invested in Prince’s wellbeing. We would absolutely trust her with Prince again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”
“Riley is a very compassionate and dependable person. He. Cared for my 3 animals well & let them climb over him letting them get comfy in his lap! I will be using Riley any time I need someone to stay with my babies❤️”
“Fennel was such a delight- they were super responsive and the dogs were comfortable with them right away. They provided updates through the trip and I came home to a tidy place and happy pups. Highly recommend!!”
“Jennifer was our first Rover experience and it was absolutely great! The communication was great, she sent pics, and the house was in the same order when we got back the next day! I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have been house/pet sitting since I worked at a veterinary hospital while in college. I am a nurse at school during the day with great availability! Summers, holidays,weekends and evenings. Again I am a nurse at school during the day so my best hours are afternoons, evenings, summer, weekends and holidays. I am also available to sit at my home. I have a secure fenced yard within a great neighborhood if your dog/dogs come to me. I am comfortable and confident with all shapes and sizes and breeds of pets.
“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
“We’ve had the pleasure of having Rachel come and stay with our almost 16 year old Jack Russell Terrier who thinks he’s 2. Rachel is loving and caring. Medications were dispensed on time and we came home to our home as we left it. We hate share with others!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter! She was warm and professional from our first meeting and gave Dobby top tier, attentive care all weekend. He was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. Highly recommend, and I look forward to booking her again soon!”
About: Growing up as the youngest of five kids in a dog-loving family, I have spent my entire life surrounded by pets. From growing up alongside our family dogs to caring for my own 11 lb Poochon, dogs are an essential part of my daily routine. I also have experience providing dog walking for my friends and short-period pet care for my siblings' dogs whenever they needed a trusted hand. Outside of adopting dogs, my family has experience fostering rescue animals, including two energetic puppies and a gentle senior dog, ranging from small breeds to medium and large sizes. This hands-on experience taught me how to read dog body language, help pets adjust calmly to new environments, and handle diverse temperaments across all stages of life. I am experienced in maintaining precise feeding schedules, managing exact meal portions, providing gentle exercise, and offering attentive, 1-on-1 care. All outdoor time and walks in our neighborhood are strictly conducted on a leash for maximum safety. Whether your dog needs structured daily routines, fun play sessions, or specialized small-breed or senior attention, I will care for them with the exact same dedication, love, and safety I give my own! I dedicate focused, flexible time to dog walking and pet care around my routine. I have open availability to fit your pup's needs, offering dedicated 1-on-1 time, reliable check-ins, and consistent daily routines that match your dog's preferred sleeping schedule and energy levels, ranging from gentle, relaxed days to active play sessions Safety and health are my top priorities. All walks are strictly conducted on a leash, and I am meticulous about following your instructions for exact meal portions, dietary needs, and food or environmental allergies. I am also comfortable and precise when managing any medication schedules or special health requirements, ensuring your pet remains safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.
“Chandler is awesome and my dog absolutely loved her! My dog was totally comfortable and happy while I was gone even though he often gets separation anxiety. It was great to have the peace of mind that he was well cared for! I also got plenty of picture and video updates :)”
“Benjamin is tentative, kind, and caring with Maizie. I’ve used rover in the past and it’s safe to say he goes beyond the standard of taking care of your pup.”
About: Hi I’m Amanda and your pet(s) are my #1 priority! I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and fish throughout my life and love learning about their fun personalities and behavior. I trained my Labrador retriever as a puppy and have experience with senior dogs, dogs with hearing and sight issues, anxious/animal reactive dogs, leash pullers or any dog who may need some extra TLC. I also have a medical background and can administer medications if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you can rest assured knowing they are in good hands! Since I’m currently on the job market, I have lots of time to care for your pet(s). I have open availability and am highly flexible and responsive to your schedule. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I am very physically agile, organized, and attentive to the behavior of every dog I walk.

If there was more space I would write a book about how well the house was left and our pets taken care of. Allison was wonderful from the start, she took plenty of notes and maintained constant communication about our pets (cat and dog). She left the house in immaculate condition and provided photos every day with a nice note. She really allowed us to relax on our long weekend trip from the house. I would highly recommend her services and her prices are very competitive. If you want the job done right, Allison is the right person for it!
Dana is great! My cat, Mooncake, was diagnosed with IBD right before the holidays and Dana gave him his medicine and followed special feeding instructions to help keep his symptoms under control while I visited family for Christmas. Mooncake can sometimes be skittish around new people, but he seemed very comfortable around her immediately and I knew he was in good hands.
Brian provided excellent care for our dog and his communication was terrific. He was on time, sent photos/messages, and gave our dog plenty of attention during each visit. She was very relaxed and comfortable when we returned home. I also appreciate Brian’s flexibility as we didn’t know what time we would be away until the day before. I would highly recommend Brian to care for your pets.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Millersville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Millersville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Millersville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
