“Chance was absolutely incredible! He left such detailed feedback for each drop-in visit, and he took the best possible care of Avett while I was out-of-town. I would definitely recommend booking with him, and I’ll 100% be using him again!”
“Ludi was wonderful, as always! She took great care of the kitties and even took extra time to become friends with our newest who can be a little skittish at first. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young. I understand that pets are apart of the family and how difficult it is to leave them behind when on vacations. That’s why it’s so important to me to make sure there is someone who treats my animals the same way! Alex (my significant other) and I would love nothing more than making sure your furry friend remains comfortable and safe while you are away. Alex and I both work through the day but live very local (5 minutes from our home) so we can check on them throughout the day if needed. We are also very active so pets that need extra walking or a hike is not a big issue for us in the least! I work full time and so does my partner Alex, however we both get an hour lunch and are willing to both work around schedules to fit where needed! Both of us do live very close to home so if needed we can always stop by the house and check in. My pets are my family so yours would become my family as well! Both cats and dogs need someone that is going to be willing to play with them daily! I have multiple kennels of different sizes if a pet needs one/is comfortable with one. If not I also have a room dedicated to keeping pets comfy while I am gone during the day. It’s always helpful to have a space where pets can decompress when they are in an unknown location.
“I know my cats are in good hands with Heather. I also had to make some last minute changes to my trip itinerary and Heather was super flexible! This lowered my stress when I needed to travel to see my extended family.”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes since I was young! I'm currently a mom to a very active senior pitbull and two cats. I have experience with giving medications including injections and I know the importance of preserving a stable routine for pups when their parents are away. I'm frequently the go-to dog watcher in my group of friends! I'm working part-time remotely and part-time in person in the evenings. I'm an early riser so that means I'm available for care throughout the day until about 4 and then available for evening care from 8pm on! I know daily routines are important so I will strive to keep your pet's routine the same to the best of my ability! I can check in for potty breaks, walks, playtime, whatever your pet needs!
“Emily F did a superb job of catsitting my cat for a week. I've had other sitters in the past, but Emily was by far the best. She texted me everyday with an update of how Kitty was doing. That sounds like a minor thing, but it is appreciated immensely. Good job Emily F, and thankyou!”
About: I have experience with puppies thru senior care. I understand the anxiety of your dog being home alone and I'm happy to entertain them in my home and show them love and attention. I'm a stay-at-home dog/cat mom. My schedule is wide open. My day is focused on quality time with my furry kids. I'm available to give your furbabies all the attention they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and a dog that lives to spend time outside in the sun. And lots of space/furniture for furry babies to lounge on.
“Anna did a great job watching our cat, Sammy, for us. She was on time, gave me updates, and sent photos during her visit. If you are looking for someone who will care for your pet(s) while you are away, I highly recommend Anna.”
“Ivy was very reliable and responsive to all my instructions and kept me apprised of everything during and/or after each visit. She is a kind and caring person who strives to provide the best care for her clients. I always feel reassured that she will not only take good of my kitty but will be respectful of my home and provide excellent service. I highly recommend Ivy as a reliable, caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Denise was great with my 2 cats! Very responsive, friendly, and provided photos and comments for every drop in visit while I was on vacation. I felt at ease knowing my girls were taken care of! Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Leah did an excellent job while I was on vacation. Kept me informed and provided all the check-ins with reports and pictures. Highly recommend for any dog sitting - walking - check-ins. Will be using in the future.”
“Thankyou so much Mikenah. You have been the best to our sweet girl Sassie. I am so happy you we're the one we chose to care for our kitty. The level of care and lovins is unmatched. I don't easily trust people but you have exceeded our expectations. I know my Sassie will always be great in your hands. 10/10 book her. You won't regret it.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, and cats a little less, whether that be walking, pet sitting, or just overall care. They really are a mans best friend! I am currently a student with a flexible schedule. I am able to work around owners schedules to give their pet the best. Weekends and evenings are also good for me. When it comes to caring for pets I always follow the owners lead. I love to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they have a fun time.
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member.

I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with.

I can give baths if needed, will also brush the dogs. Absolutely love getting to play with dogs and have them running around and enjoying their time outside! I'm pretty flexible on times and what all would need to be done. I am willing to travel to your house and walk the dogs, feed and water them as needed and anything else that needs to be done to care for your dog. This just has to be done at certain times. I have three kids, 8, 6, and 1 they absolutely love animals as well and are nice to the dogs! We live in a small mobile home park and dogs are allowed so no worries there. I can watch the dog while you're on vacation or however, whenever is needed if I get some notice! I am a stay at home mom so I'm home all day almost every day. I can take them outside to play a lot too. I don't have a fenced yard so dogs would be leashed and will get long walks.

I also have 3 little helpers to run out some of their energy!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montoursville
Chance is outstanding. On a personal level, he's courteous, professional and always on time. With my dogs, he knows exactly what to do (and not to do) to help them feel at ease. One of my dogs in particular is extremely unsure of new people and situations. Chance won her trust very quickly. Can't recommend him highly enough.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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.
