“Cheryl is by far the best, most reliable pet sitter I have ever had. She followed my directions to the T. She is indeed a cat whisperer; my two cats usually run and hide when anyone comes into the house. They both came out for her when she dropped by for a pre-sitting visit; they let her feed them their evening treat. She is kind and respectful; thanks, Rover!”
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Sarah is fantastic! Our cat really did well under her care, and we loved the check ins and photos that Sarah would take for us. Super responsible and responsive. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“We were looking for someone to drop in on our cats for a few days and Becky popped up on the Rover app as a highly rated sitter. We are very grateful that we went with Becky as she was professional and communicative the whole step of the booking. For the drop and visit/ meet and greet, our cats instantly came out when getting to know Becky. She was easy-going and understood everything that we wanted her to look after when we were away. During the two drop and visits, Becky took several pictures, stayed more than enough time, and wrote in extensive synopsis of what she did over the drop ins. We cannot be more pleased with her services, and our cats are looking forward for the next upcoming reservation. We would highly recommend Becky to anybody!”
“Amanda visited my cats 2x a day. They were well fed and played with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation. She also went up and beyond by watering plants and bringing mail inside.”
“Tracey has a wealth of experience that was invaluable to us as we are still navigating integrating a new dog into our family. She was very reassuring about her ability to handle their interactions which allowed us to relax while we were gone. Her communication and pictures were great and showed how well things went during the visit. Tracey is a great choice for your pets!!!”
About: I will treat your pup just like I treat my own. I believe dogs are part of the family and I will do my best to uphold that belief. I work full time but can leave on work to look after your pup. I have three daughters. One is 3.5 years old and then i have 3 month old baby girls. We also have 2 dogs and a cat at home. I call them my boys. My boys love visitors and my cat doesnt mind dogs as he usually keeps to himself and sleeps. My one dog is a pitbull mix and our other is a pure breed yellow lab. I will promise to treat your pups like one of my own and can easily follow and execute all your needs.
About: I graduated with my associate in Veterinary technology in 2022. I have taken care of and worked with all breeds of dogs and cats. I’ll give all of them the same love and care as I give my own. I am currently working full time 8-5. Depending on your animals schedules and your requirements I will feed them and walk them bright and early make sure they got all the early morning energy out before I’d need to head out to work. Will clean up any mess if any was made in the process. After work I will go straight to check on the animal and do the same as in the morning feed, walk and play. If your pet is taking medication I will make sure to give it the right amount and at the right time. If you don’t have a fenced in yard I will also make sure I leash them can never be too safe.
About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up, my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house; so throughout my life I have gained experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way up to seniors. I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. Helping people care for pets on here seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
About: Whether they’re a couch potato or a ball of energy, I will match their energy! I have grown up with a zoo in my house with past experiences with ducks, goats, cats, dogs, parakeets, and even a hedgehog! We’ve always had big dogs in our house so I am very comfortable with larger breeds but I can work with pets of all sizes. I also have experience with working with senior and geriatric dogs including those with dementia. I am a graduate student which means I am often extra available during academic breaks when you might be on vacation! As a student, I have class and clinicals 2-4 days a week but will often have a pretty set schedule. It also means that I am usually extra available during academic breaks! I build trust and take things slowly with the animal so that I don’t stress them out. I can find ways or take suggestions on ways to get them to feel relaxed and safe with me. Your pets’ safety and health will be my number one priority.
“Jessica was great with my feline friend, Lawson! She provided great detailed updates and was a very attentive communicator. 10/10 would recommend and use again!”
“Reactive dog owners rejoice! Nina was so amazing and patient with our reactive boy, Murph. He takes a little bit to warm up to people and is dog/stranger reactive, so I needed someone who has experience with that. She is very patient and respectful of Murph’s boundaries. She’s really good at reading dog behavior and has training experience too! I am so thankful for Nina and look forward to booking her again!”
About: I am a professional dog groomer. I work with pets every day and I will take wonderful care of yours. I can ensure your long haired dog stays brushed and maintained. I come home every day early to mid afternoon. Your pup can join me on my walks with my personal dog! I’m available for overnight stays! I have a fenced in yard for play outside! I own a sheltie who is very friendly with others, who’s sure to keep your fur babies company.
“Stevy did a great job with my pup. He enjoyed her company while I was away, and it was great to see him happy in the pictures that she sent. I highly recommend booking with Stevy.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with our dogs. She is very conscientious - she checked in with us regularly and asked questions to ensure she was giving the best possible care to our pups.”
About: My mom and I have been taking care of pets since I've been 7 years old everywhere we have moved. I've loved every moment of it and want to continue taking care of your pets with the proper care and need for them. Recently my 10 year old dog passed away this last summer and it's been pretty lonely at home not having a dog run around but having your pet will bring some joy back! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to chat with you :) I'm currently a senior in high school and work a part time job occasionally on the weekends but I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate to your needs. I have a big yard with lots of room for your furry friend to roam around in! I try to do 3-4 walks a day around my neighborhood so they can use the bathroom and get some fresh air as well as some exercise.
“Recent travel and an old cat at home required added attention that Elizabeth was able to provide. The reassurance from her correspondence allowed me to feel less guilty knowing the cat was well cared for.”
About: I've been a pet owner for as long as I can remember and have been a sitter of cats and dogs for the past fourteen years, both seniors and little ones alike. I am a full-time professional working hybrid so I have the flexibility to take your pet on walks, pay them visits at home, and have some play time. I have experience in pet walking, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I would love to make sure your pet is safely cared for while you're away! I work a hybrid full-time job, so most of the week I am working from home. During this time, I can check on your pet as often as needed, or stay at your home full-time to ensure your pet has company or someone there for their needs at all times. I am all about making sure your pet is in the environment they, and you, feel most comfortable being in. I am able to keep them crated if you prefer.
About: There has always been a pet in the home since childhood, I’ve watched and taken care of 5 personally owned dogs from puppyhood to adulthood! I have babysat my aunts cat Tammy for a few months now, and I have taken care of my own dog Maestro when my parents are on vacation, or need an extra pick-me-up. I also have been volunteering at Humane Society of Harrisburg for about a few months now! I have always had a huge heart towards animals of all personalities and sizes. I’ve worked with nervous big dogs, to crazy little puppies! I would be more than willing to meet your amazing animal someday! 😊💕 I have a car available at all times, so I am easily able to provide as much time and energy as your animal needs. I also do not have a typical job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be super respectful of your space and keep notes about certain things your animal needs, and provide spectacular feedback on how your animal is feeling, how the day went, overall what happened during my service! I am a wonderful listener and I learn extremely quickly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Cumberland
Tina has been a lifesaver! I've had to travel a lot lately because of family issues, and Tina has been available to come over with very little notice. Plus I worry about my Bella (probably too much at times) and Tina has gone above and beyond to care for my girl and put up with my worrying. You could tell she truly loves animals. I highly recommend Tina!
Hanna is super sweet! She followed all the instructions perfectly, and our baby was clearly loved, cared for, and happy throughout the time she babysat. We felt completely confident leaving her in his care and made us at ease while away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again from now on!
Sydney was helpful and a very communicative caregiver for our kitty! It was our first time using a catsitter, and Sydney was such a great guide, and immediately bonded with our kitty. She was great with communication. And, she always sent us timely pics and videos. Thank you, Sydney!
Tracey has a wealth of experience that was invaluable to us as we are still navigating integrating a new dog into our family. She was very reassuring about her ability to handle their interactions which allowed us to relax while we were gone. Her communication and pictures were great and showed how well things went during the visit. Tracey is a great choice for your pets!!!
Olivia is our go-to sitter for our 2 kitties whenever we have to go away. It's always a relief to know that they are in her care. 💜 She meets them both where they are at (as they both have very different needs and personalities!) and we can see in each visit update that they are being completely themselves and are so at ease with her. They truly love their Olivia Time!! 😁 We can't recommend Olivia enough. We really appreciate the genuine love and care she gives to our boys on her visits, and the consistent communication and attention to detail she provides us in updates throughout our time away. Thank you, Olivia, for loving our lads! 💕🐾
Cheryl is by far the best, most reliable pet sitter I have ever had. She followed my directions to the T. She is indeed a cat whisperer; my two cats usually run and hide when anyone comes into the house. They both came out for her when she dropped by for a pre-sitting visit; they let her feed them their evening treat. She is kind and respectful; thanks, Rover!
I cannot recommend Shyann enough! I had to make a last-minute booking, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Even with the short notice, they insisted on doing a meet-and-greet to make sure my dog was comfortable and that all instructions were clear—a level of professionalism and care I truly didn't expect given the tight timeline. They are reliable, incredibly sweet with my pup, and provided fantastic updates. It is such a relief to find someone so dependable and accommodating. I will absolutely be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Cumberland is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 1,557 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Cumberland. 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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Cumberland. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
