“Ash was the best of the best of the best hands down thumbs up. She showed my cats all the love she possibly could even though they were snobby about. Took great care to respect our home and wishes and checked in and conversed with me regularly. I felt fantastic about having her check in and care for our cats. Thank you so much Ash”
About: With experience as a behavioral technician working with children with autism, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong understanding of behavior to my work with pets. I’ve built trusting relationships with families who rely on me for consistent, compassionate care, and I apply that same level of dedication to every pet I look after. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, consistent care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy giving animals the attention, structure, and affection they need to feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I pay close attention to behavior cues and take a calm, patient approach to ensure pets feel safe, respected, and well cared for.
“I used Adam to watch the pugs again when I had to go out of town. He was great as always- I never have to worry about them when he is watching them. I highly recommend him to be your dog’s sitter.”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers, I have experience with pet sitting many animals (even up to 4+ in one household). I am capable of playing with, feeding, watering, and caring for your pets. I have lots of patience and love being around animals. I love meeting many lovable pups and kitties as I don’t have any of my own yet. I would take care for your lovely pets as you would yourself. I’m usually flexible with time, though I have another full time job as well. I am looking for forward to caring for your pets to interact and learn more about different breeds and well as help me make a little extra money for my education! Thank you so much for considering me! My work has me off one week at a time and most every Friday night to Sunday early morning. I can be home with them majority of the day as needed or take them on long walks and hikes as I love to do that in my own free time. I maintain a clean living space and provide enjoyable interactions with pets both inside and outside the home. When leaving the house I make sure to go through a checklist of things needed to be done to make sure the house is exactly as I found it. Harnesses and leashes always put on to go outside, doors locked and pets in protected spaces they need to be when I have to say goodbye.
“Amanda, thank you for taking excellent care of Penny while we were gone. Your attention to details and willingness to help out while we were gone was most appreciated. Best Barry”

I will do whatever should be done to keep your pets healthy, hydrated and happy! I can bathe your dogs and cats “ if they like water “ and I am extremely devoted to keep your pet happy as can be!
“I've never felt so relaxed on a trip knowing my pets were being taken care of and safe. I could definitely tell there was genuine care for my pets. Thank you so so much.”
“Communication was great and photos were sent of my my 2 dogs (golden doodle and a French bulldog), so I could see them while I was away. Booking were fast and very professional. I would recommend Hale to anyone who needs a pet sitter!! Loved using their service!””
About: I’ve been a dog lover for years with experience taking care of pets of all sizes and ages. It all started with my family’s English Mastiff. Later I adopted my elder mini schnauzer mix and most recently, I take care of my 10 year old Boxer Pitbull mix (Missy). My experience isn’t just with elderly pups, I also have house trained and sat puppies for my family (they have 5 in total). I’m happy to help give your fur-babies the best care possible! I take classes throughout the day and work part time Monday through Wednesday, but I have all day from Thursday through Sunday to spend with your furry best friend! I’m flexible with timing and if you need additional coverage or help let me know and we can make a schedule together. I’m comfortable with all pets! No baby is too big or small as I’ve had pets of many sizes and understand the needs of each. My dog (Missy) is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks, so I understand the needs of bug babies with anxiety. I also help pet sit my family’s other pets which include a hyperactive Australian shepherd/heeler mix. I can’t wait to be your dogs walking buddy or their next couch companion during a storm!
About: I lost my 18 year old pug in January 2022😢. Looking forward to spending time with a furry friend again! Big or small dogs welcome! I work close to home and my husband works from home on most days. We are professionals with flexible schedules. We can work around your needs. We currently have no pets but a nice big house in the country and a yard with a creek and various options for going on walks! No busy streets around here!
“Steph did such a great job with my shy cat. Besides taking care of her food, water and litter box, she patiently earned Callie’s trust and bonded with her. I will be seeking her help in the future! Thank you, Steph, for taking care of Callie, and also for watering my plants!”
“Chiara did an excellent job caring for my 2 Border Collies. Having a medium energy adult and a high energy 8 month old can be very challenging and Chiara was exceptionally professional, timely and caring. Absolutely would hire her again.”
About: I dogsit for family and friends quite often, and love animals altogether! For clients I do walks in neighborhoods or parks, outside time, letting out, feeding, and play time! My family had our own Bassett Hound for 10 years! I do shelter skip day every once in a while to spend time with dogs for the day! Im currently in college, with classes Monday through Thursday, and off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My class schedule varies day to day, but my late afternoon to evening is free, and most of my classes are in the morning! I will always make an effort to work things out! I socialize on the weekends, but will always be able to put time aside! I can walk dogs in neighborhoods or parks, I also can play and chill with your baby and take them out to play and go potty. I will also follow your feeding schedule! My care is flexible depending on what you need!
“Michael jumped on board for a same day request on a holiday weekend to drop in at our home to feed our two high energy Boston's. He took them out for a potty break and a fun run and fetch game. Communication and availability was exactly what we needed. Next time we need a fur kid sitter, we won’t hesitate to contact Michael.”
“I can't say enough about Denise !! She treated our dog like it was her own. Eyedrops were required and she didn't hesitate (we have a Rottweiler) I don't want any other pet sitter! SHE'S THE ONE!!”
About: I have owned pets my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, fish, ferrets and now a flock of chickens. Each pet is an incredible responsibility that can bring great joy. Family and friends know they can count on me to help with any pet needs. Be it overnight stays, dog walks, food and water checks and even just a quick stop to snuggle. I am a stepmom, dog mom and substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule out of school hours and am able to work around kids schedules to make almost anything work. Over the summer I am more free and able to help more. I walk my own dog multiple times a day, as well as spend time playing and snuggling. I have a routine with my flock of chickens for feeding time and creating ways to keep them occupied. My dog is on a scheduled food routine and receives treats throughout the day. My son has a bunny, to which he has a daily routine of playtime and cleaning. I am a person who is great with direction and routine, working to make sure an animal has adequate time for play, food and rest.

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.
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 Mount Joy 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!
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.

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 .
