“What a weight Teresa took off my shoulders knowing Teresa was watching my babies so my husband and I could take a moment to ourselves. I didn’t have to worry as the check ins were on time and we received plenty of photos. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies.”
About: Large Animal Science graduate, have completed the vet tech, dog grooming, and agility courses at BCAHS. Experience with diverse/exotic animal caretaking rolls, canine cpr certified, lots of experience with difficult dog breeds. My schedule with work is very flexible. Usually I tend to walk my dog for a 1-2 hours a day. It is extremely important that my dog Nala gets exercise each day to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Sometimes I also take my cat on the walks as well (he loves spending time outside with his sister with his harness and leash on!). Weekends have much more flexibility with my schedule. It is extremely important to make sure that any animal feels comfortable in their environment. Giving them the opportunity to take bathroom breaks and keeping pets on their normal schedule is very important. Giving pets access to fresh drinking water, specific foods, and medications as needed is also crucial. Providing proper exercise and mental enrichment only helps to further improve an animal’s experience in their surroundings as well.
“Jenny did a great job caring for our pets while we were away for the day. She was very kind and responsive and sent real time updates during the visits. Two of our dogs are shy/fearful due to traumatic pasts and she was understanding and accommodating to them. We’re very appreciative.”
“Andrew was great while doing drop-ins during a family vacation, going above and beyond for our dog. My dog has never been happier when returning from a vacation. So, I would reccomend Andrew for any dog-sitting.”
About: I have vast experience working with many different animals, and one of my greatest strengths is helping make the animals I work with feel comfortable. I am certain that I could do the same with your animals too! Specifically, the animals that I work with range from box turtles, cats, small dogs, and large dogs. I am currently a student at Capital University, but I am willing to squeeze in time on my breaks and during the summer to walk and/or take care of your fur babies for whenever you need!! I have a very flexible schedule and would be willing to work with you in order to meet your pet's needs! My services include house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. You give me a time and place and I'll be there for your fur baby!
About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were puppies and understand how important consistency is. I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and discovering ways to connect with them. Dog hugs are just a plus! My pet care availability will typically be before 8am and after 4:30pm during the week. I would also consider overnight bookings during the week. Weekends, I am typically available at all times day and night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I live in an area with a great walking trail and a dog park we can visit. I also have an available crate (Large) with a dog bed and plenty of dog food/treats to share.
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 contacted Montana for Drop in Visits for my two high energy dogs. She communicated clearly, was wonderful with the pups, got them fed, walked and spent time playing with them. I got great photos and updates throughout the visit. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I’m Deanna! I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant with 20 years of experience caring for animals of all species, including several years working hands-on with dogs and cats in veterinary clinics and boarding facilities. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, and I’m excited to have my stepdaughter, Anya, join me in caring for our Rover pets. She absolutely loves animals and is looking to earn some extra money while doing something she genuinely enjoys. She’ll be the primary person providing walks, drop-ins, and pet care, with me available as an experienced helping hand whenever needed. Between my veterinary background and her love for animals, we make a great team! I’ve worked directly with veterinarians as a veterinary technician, including taking vitals, administering medications and vaccines, assisting with procedures, and caring for pets before and after surgery. I also have extensive experience recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or when something just doesn’t seem quite right. Before moving to Pennsylvania, I cared for numerous Rover clients for more than three years while living in Tucson, Arizona. We moved to Pennsylvania in May 2020 for my husband’s work, and after taking some time away from Rover, we’re excited to welcome new furry friends into our lives again! We have two dogs and 3 cats of our own, so your pet will be joining a home that is very much used to having animals around. We have plenty of pet-friendly toys, beds, and space to relax, and we love spending time outside when the weather is nice. Most importantly, we treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, we want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We’d be honored to care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is extremely flexible with the exception of student drop-off and pick-up times (7:00-8:10am and 2:50-4:05pm). This gives me the rest of the time/day to care for your pet. During daycare and/or boarding, I have plenty of pet toys and beds throughout the house. For additional safety, I use baby gates whenever they are left unattended from my own pets just as a safety precaution. All playtime is always supervised.
About: Experience volunteering at local cat cafe and caring for friends/family’s pets. Just like dogs, I also look forward to taking my own daily walks! :) I’m the proud mom of 2 cats and I specialize in caring for pets with anxiety. My main job is as a dance teacher, so I only work after school/work ends for our students. This leaves my mornings and mid-days free for walks and furry friends! I am always respectful of clients’ property (and pets of course)! My house currently does not accept pets but I love spending time outside and stopping by to provide needed care.
“Kathleen was patient and sweet with my very shy foster - who was a bit of an unknown with visitors in the house. Kathleen was willing to go slow with the introduction and follow protocols just in case my guy was fearful-aggressive. She knows dogs, the meeting went well, and we've booked more visits in hopes of becoming a regular client.”
About: My girlfriend Joanna and I will be working as a pair for ypu and your pet or pets needs. That way we can ensure there is always someone there incase one of us have to leave for any reason. Ive helped my dad raise hid old dog shaddow, i'm raising my own dog brandy now. I used to dog sit for someone who had 2 VERY energetic dogs. The one was like a kangaroo... I absolutely love dogs and animals. Im very paitent with them and caring Im working as a self employed delivery driver with grubhub and occasionally uber. Which means i have flexibility so im mostly always available. I have a self set schedule for grubhub which typically runs from 10am to 6pm, but if youre in the milton or lewisburg area that should be no problem to do quick drop ins and check ups. I can also do outside of those areas but please keep in mind that i have to be back in the milton lewisburg area every 2 hours to meet my grubhub schedule. Thank you for understanding. I treat my animals with respect and paitence. I understand they need time and affection. My dog at home gets plenty of attention (maybe too much) and fed multiple times a day with a constant food bowl down. On hot days i make sure she has plenty of water. When i can (work and weather permitted) we go for walks.or play outside. As for watching and caring for your pet, youre the boss so you tell me what they need and ill do my best to make sure it happens!
“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.”
“Madison is super trustworthy, followed all my instructions to the T, and communicated all throughout her drop ins! I will definitely book her, again, with a peace of mind if she’s available in the future!”
About: I am new at taking care of your fur babies but I have 10 years at loving, caring and spoiling my own fur baby! Your fur babies will have 100% of my attention! Morning, afternoon, evening or overnight any day of the week. I am retired and am looking to spoil and love your pet like my own. I would love to take care of your fur baby in your home! I am available whether you are looking for someone to walk your dog, just let your pet out during the day while you work or stay in your home.
About: I cat sit for my neighbor for long periods of time when she goes away. I’ve been an animal owner since the age of 3. Currently I’m in school for nursing but don’t have classes Monday and Wednesday as well as the weekend. Those days I’m hoping to spend time with pets. Caring for pets in my home I will have them on a leash if outside just in case they like to run away. At a clients home I’ll follow the directions to ensure perfect pet care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Columbia
Laura is so great, especially with my shy 1yr old dog! She came to visit them ahead of time and was very friendly and professional! She took great care of my boys and left a summary and pictures! I really appreciate Laura for taking the time to visit my pups and giving them a new friend!
Laura was very professional and right on time! I was unable to have a meet and greet with her beforehand because of how quick I booked the appointment and she handled meeting the dogs in person by herself so well! My dogs are a lot so for her to be able to handle both of them is impressive! Look forward to working with laura again very soon!
Makahalee was wonderful with our dog! She even did a meet and greet with us and our dog prior to her coming for the first time. She took her outside and spent time playing with her both inside & outside. She also sent multiple pictures of her, played ball with her, and made sure she had food and water before she left. Our dog loves playing with her and looked so happy in all the pictures Makahalee shared 😊
Makahalee is a literal angel when it comes to my little pup. She is very flexible with her schedule, and prompt at getting back to you on when she can come to watch your babies. She communicates any issues or things going on with your pet to you as soon as she is done with her visit, or during the visit if it’s a pressing matter. My little guy can be a hand full and she treats him so well and gives him the attention and loving he needs. You can not go wrong with using her to help you with your dogs.

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 .

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.
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.
