“Kira came in clutch after another sitter booked many months in advance cancelled last minute. This wasn’t a short stay but a 10-day booking. She took good care of Charlie and as usual, he came home super happy after his dogcation.”
About: I’m a NICU nurse looking to turn my love for animals into something I can do on the side. While this is my first time offering pet-sitting services professionally, I have years of experience caring for animals and am very comfortable with both cats and dogs. I currently have four cats of my own, but my family has many dogs I deeply love. I’m used to volunteer at PETS until I had my son, because helping animals is something I’m truly passionate about. As a NICU nurse, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would treat your cat/dog with the same love and care I give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I work three 12-hour shifts per week as a NICU nurse, and my schedule varies, but this gives me flexibility on my days off to spend time caring for your pets! My husband is also involved and helps provide flexibility with our schedule. I can coordinate my availability around your pet’s needs and am happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure we find a schedule that works for everyone. I understand how important consistency and reliable care are for your pets, and I want to make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their owners are away! I have four cats of my own and have grown up around dogs and other animals, so I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I will follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that pets are most comfortable in familiar surroundings, and I want to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. As a NICU nurse, I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented. I will take the time to understand your pet’s individual needs and follow any specific instructions you provide. I also know how important communication is, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“100% recommended. I felt very calm throughout my trip because JoEllen was in constant communication with me everyday, She always sent me photos and updates on how my dear Ginger was doing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH”
“Dierde was great! I was nervous about leaving our high-energy, low-manners lab with her for a whole week but she reassured me that she was used to high-energy labs. Our dog had a blast running the fence line and getting out all that pent-up energy. Will contact her again the next time we need a dog-sitter.”
“Simone is an excellent pet sitter, and I recommend her without reservation. I needed someone I can trust with my gang of five - three cats and two English labs. They range in age from 19 to 1, and have a variety of needs, including medication for an elderly cat and supervision of a recently hospitalized dog, with his younger, very exuberant "brother." Simone managed it all without difficult, and even gave attention to the less needy pets. She sent some adorable photos that I will definitely save. Simone is calm, patient, attentive, intelligent, experienced with her own and others' animals, and caring. I did not feel like I had to worry about my guys and gals, knowing she was with them. I also respect that she came to the house beforehand to meet us and our animals and determine our needs. She was very responsive in communication, when we were setting up our first meeting. Thank goodness, because I am not the most tech savvy!”
“Mollie provided a home away from home for my dog. I received lots of photos and communication during his stay and they were sad to see him leave at the end. I’ll definitely be requesting a stay with her again!”
About: I treat every pet like my own, focusing on routines, comfort, and individual needs. Calm, patient care with close attention to each pet’s personality and habits. Reliable, detail-oriented sitter who prioritizes safety, consistency, and trust. I take time to truly understand each pet so they feel secure and loved. Clear communication, dependable care, and lots of genuine affection for pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment so pets feel secure and well cared for.
“Donna was amazing! She kept me updated with pictures and funny stories about my pup Molly. I knew she was in great hands! She and her husband walked Molly and incorporated her into their daily lives. I highly recommend Donna.”
“Tristan was a lifesaver! After another boarder canceled a week before our trip, we were scrambling to find someone to watch our dogs for a week. We haven’t left our dogs for overnight boarding in a few years and were worried about how they’d do…but it looks like they had a blast! Tristan sent pictures and videos of the dogs sleeping and playing throughout the week which put our minds at ease. Our dogs were excited to see us when we picked them up but then slept nearly all day - I take that as a sign that they had fun and wore themselves out :). Thank you Tristan!!”
“We left our dog for two weeks, and we could not have asked for a better pet sitter. Daily photos and sweet updates let us enjoy our trip without any worry, and our dog came home happy, healthy, and completely relaxed! Thank you for treating him like family!”
“Mayra and her husband was so warm welcoming! They let me know where Milo would be playing and hanging out. Which left me at easy leaving my baby boy. As well Mayra loves playing little games with the doggies she sent me a video of my Milo playing the game and doing so well! She shared pictures as well and always communicated with me when i would ask about Milo. Milo came back so happy ❤️ I would definitely book again with Mayra! Thank you so much!”

“Wonderful sitter and positive experience to leave our two pups with Sarah. They took to Sarah immediately and there was no problem leaving them. Sarah responds immediately to messages and is very trustworthy. When we need a sitter again, we will definitely contact her.”
“Holly was pleasant and our furry child took to her her right away. I can tell Holly has a true love and understanding of dogs and their needs. Our dog stayed in her home for five nights making friends, playing, and cuddling. She was flexible and communicative with me while I was away, and sent pictures of our dog having a fun time with her family.”
“She is amazing! You can absolutely tell that she is a dog lover. We did a meet up before booking with her so she can meet the dogs. She’s very welcoming and she also lives in a good complex with a nice dog park. She also updated us every day with how our dogs were doing and sent pictures! Definitely recommend her.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Aetna
Kira was excellent! Her house is spotlessly clean. Even though we brought our little Ricky's bed, there were multiple places for him to lay down. Even though he is a little chihuahua, he enjoyed the gentle friendship he developed with Kira's sweet larger dog. I love that Kira sent us pictures while we were away. That was very reassuring. We found Kira to be very professional, and has a warm and upbeat demeanor.
I am selfishly dreading leaving a fabulous review as Kira will be flooded with requests and I won’t be able to get Piper in! But the truth is Kira is beyond amazing. I have a very anxious dog who requires a lot of cuddling and meds and special meal preps, etc & Kira was just so accommodating and kind and caring and sent pics and videos. Her dogs were so sweet to piper and made piper feel so welcomed. I was nervous about this past week but piper seemed such a part of the family… I wasn’t sure if she wanted to come home with me! Thanks Kira! You’re the beast!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mount Aetna home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mount Aetna.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mount Aetna sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
