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”
“Orzo was in wonderful hands with Deirdre. She knew what he needed when he was sad and gave him the attention he so very much craves. And with all her experiences with dogs and other animals, I knew she could handle any emergency that might occur, although nothing happened at all. I would highly recommend Deirdre!!!”
“Dolly must have had a wonderful time with Beth and the family. I'm not even so sure she's glad to be home. Lol. We will definitely reach out to Beth next time we need Dolly to go in vacation.”
“Absolutely satisfied with Mollie! She helped me out with my two pups for a week. I had to go to urgent care before dropping them off and was going to be late and had a car issue before picking them up. She accomidated me both times and was great about it. She took great care of both of them, sent updates and pictures, I couldn't ask for more. I highly recommend Mollie to anyone who cares about their pets and wants to feel at ease leaving them. Thank you, Mollie!”
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.”
“Amanda took excellent care of my pup, which is a challenging thing to do with his medication requirements. Webster was comfortable at Amanda's place and had a good time with her dog. I recommend Amanda and will use her services again.”
“Blu came home either worn out from playing with the other dogs or depressed he had to leave the other dogs, but either way, Blu was in good hands and enjoyed himself so much that he didn't miss us! Tristan and his wife were very friendly and had a great home for Blu to feel comfortable while away from his own home.”
“Laken was great with our 2 fur babies! She sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout the whole trip making sure they were well taken care of. When we came home from out of town to a flooded basement, she was so accommodating to let them stay there a little longer while we took care of calling a plumber, insurance adjuster, etc. Highly recommend and will be using again!”
“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!”

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.

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.
