About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!
“Hannah is wonderful! The first time I requested her she was not able to walk our pup but she recommended her daughters and husband and they were wonderfully reliable and loving of Finn! Hannah sends videos and pictures! She is very responsive and responsible with all of things that care for our pup! I highly recommend her and am so grateful to have met her through Rover!”
About: I have always loved animals since I was born. When I was in high school I started pet sitting all over lancaster and when I was a senior I went to school to become a veterinary assistant which lead to tech school. A decade later I am still in the veterinary field doing what I love… saving lives! I have experience from small animal to large and even experience with exotics/pocket pets. I promise to always provide the best care possible for your fur baby! I will always treat them as my own. 🥰 I currently work for a small veterinary clinic where my hours are 9-5 Monday-Thursday and 9-12 on Fridays. I do not work weekends! I am more than willing to stop in, spend the night, or do whatever best fits your animals needs! I have had training throughout the years while being in school, attending continuing education in other states, and working with animals every single day since I was 17 years old. I am CPR certified for both cats & dogs. I promise to provide the best care possible!
“Jade took great care of my cat and high energy puppy. I was amazed when I came home how calm and happy they both were. I especially appreciated Jade wearing the puppy out before I got home so that I could relax! They also loaded the dishwasher and emptied the trash, which I was also grateful for!”
“Kate was wonderful and quick to communicate and respond. She sent daily pics of our fur baby. He enjoyed his play time, and she made sure he got his medicine and extra treats as well. Thank you again!”
About: **TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CARE FOR MY VALUED CLIENTS AND ANIMAL COMPANIONS I AM ACCEPTING HOUSESITTING REQUESTS ONLY (<10 MILE RADIUS) UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO LIMITED AVAILABILITY. WISHING A SAFE AND PLEASANT DAY TO ALL! THANK YOU.** Hi all! I am glad you have landed here. I have provided pet services (day stays, outings and overnights) for family, friends and colleagues since 2014. I have primarily cared for canines as well as a very small sprinkle of cats. On a personal note, I have independently raised a rescue pittie from puppyhood through 14 years (as shown in profile image). I find great pleasure and purpose in animal care/welfare work. I have engaged with dogs of various demographics, sensibilities and physical needs. Outside of my full-time career, I participate as a volunteer with a local shelter. This encompasses dog walking, dog handling, day trips and overnight care with ongoing training opportunities. I look forward to prospectively partnering together to fulfill the care requirements of your beloved animal companions. Thank you for considering. My schedule varies and can be flexible. Please contact me to discuss how I may support the care needs of your household pets. I look forward to connecting! All services are performed at the client’s residence to reinforce daily routines and comfortability of your animal companion(s). An initial meet and greet is required. I maintain pet sitter insurance via Pet Sitters Associates. Proof of insurance is available upon request. * Please be advised that a trip fee will be added for services outside of my service region and/or for multiple same day trips to/from the client’s residence. * Additional rates apply for more than one pet.
About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember, from helping train them to giving them a bath n everything in-between. I do have work almost everyday, other then being with my animals lol! Its easier for me, for the morning but will always figure out something if needed in the afternoon Animals are part of the family even if it's our animals or yours. My yard is fenced in its not big, if you give me a list or instructions I'll follow them to the max. The safety of your home n animals and their health is most important.
“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”
About: Hi! ❤️ I’m so excited to meet you and your furry best friends! I know that pets are family and finding someone you can trust to care for them is so important. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free. You can expect plenty of affection, patience, updates, and adorable pictures while your baby is in my care! 🥹❤️ I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated like one of my own. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! My goal is to make you feel confident booking with me and make your pet excited for their next visit. 🐕💕 Your pets deserve the best, and I can’t wait to spoil them with love! 🐾 I currently work part time twice during the week and every other weekend so I’ll be home most of the time with your fur baby! We will play outside, go on trips and of course walks including hikes if you are comfortable with that! I also have a puppy so they will have a built in bestie!
About: I have a dog of my own that doesn’t leave my side over night. She is very dog friendly but nervous of people. If ok with you I would love for her and your dog to meet and come with me to watch and care for your dog. I’ve had a full time job with dogs since I was 16. I have watched three dogs pulse my own at one time. I have given meds and insulin since I was 14. I have a baby and work 3 days a week at random. My baby and dog love other dogs so I’m happy to accommodate. I will make sure the dogs go out before I leave for work and as soon as I get back. If my dog comes she will be with me at work.
About: I am 21 years old and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always been around dogs and helped take care of them, especially pit bulls. I am very comfortable with strong breeds and dogs with big personalities. I have experience with daily care such as feeding, walking, playtime, and sticking to routines. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are not home. Dogs are truly my whole heart and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am patient, loving, and attentive, and I always make sure dogs feel cared for and loved while in my care. I am also a dog mommy to my beautiful Belgian Malinois/Shepard, Dakota🐾❤️ Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I am currently enrolled in online nursing classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day. I have the time and availability to focus on providing reliable, consistent care. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in their home. I follow all instructions closely, respect routines, and make sure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. I treat every home with care and ensure a clean, calm, and safe environment at all times.
“Great repeat experience with Katie-Marie! She took care of a few extra chores during her visits, quickly and thoroughly communicated with us throughout the duration of the booking, and worked hard to make sure our cat was well taken care of. Thank you Katie-Marie!”
“Highly recommended. I instantly felt comfortable with Camie. She made herself available with very short notice. I received videos and updates. But most importantly, Camie took excellent care of my girls. ♥️♥️ I have already booked again with her for my next absence.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mount Joy is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,803 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mount Joy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Mount Joy with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Joy. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
