“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Victoria! This was the first I left me cats for an extended period (16 days) and the first I used Rover. Victoria was incredible to deal with and took great care of my 2 cats. Each day she spent time playing, feeding and cleaning up after them and also sent me 8-10 pics each day! Knowing she was caring foe my girls allowed be to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. I am so thankful I found her!”
“Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”
“Rielly was punctual, professional and handled Cooper very well. She sent photos and feedback of everything. She was concerned about the heat and adjusted the house temperature. We couldn’t ask for better care.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
About: Your pup will be treated like family! I’m a dependable dog owner with experience in walks, feeding, playtime, potty routines, and basic care. I’m patient, loving, and focused on keeping every dog happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a fenced yard for supervised play and a friendly dog for companionship. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and crate instructions carefully
About: I’ve checked in on multiple pets before. Friends and my own family and relatives message me to come in, walk their dog, feed and give them water, and keep them company for a while! I love pets so when I found out I could get paid for it, I was astounded! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with tender love and care. I am a working college student at the moment, so I would be working part time. I would make time for my clients though, especially how I often have time in between my classes and I also have time after school during the week and on weekends. While I currently do not offer pets in my home, I will respect your home by keeping it clean and untouched by the time I leave. Now I will keep your pet company if that is the service you’d like and by doing so, we might empty their toys on the ground and play for a bit. That being said, it will be cleaned up and so will messes made by their food or water before I leave the house as well.
About: I have experience caring for pets including feeding, walking, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing companionship. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine and instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals of all kinds.

I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and always follow instructions closely. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets secure during visits or walks, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are properly used. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and environment to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and stress-free at all times.
About: I have been researching animals and animal care since I was able to read, I was always at the library as a kid! I worked as a dog trainer at PetSmart for two years (worked with the company for three years total!) and have met and worked with a variety of breeds. I volunteered at a dog shelter all throughout highschool as well. I have had many animals of my own and have even fostered orphaned kittens and puppies in the past! Working with animals gives me a purpose I cannot find anywhere else :) I work half remotely so I have plenty of open availability, let me know what works best with you! I'm always willing to make accommodations. When watching your pets at your home I would likely ask many questions regarding you/your pets routine so I can make things as comfortable for your pet as possible! I would never leave the pet unattended unless directed otherwise! I have experience handling large, strong breeds of dogs and have no doubt in my capabilities to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
About: I've grown up with no less than 2 dogs at a time. Now I have 3 of my own and I am looking to open my home and offer my services since I am home full time!! We are always outside playing, going for walks and experiencing nature!! I would love to have the opportunity to care for other peoples animals!! The passion I have for animals could definitely be of use to many :) Let me know how I can help!! I work from home and I’m able to constantly care for my 3 pups. The more the merrier! I get up early and run the pups, feed them and let them sunbathe out back. Pets are allowed on our furniture and are treated as the family that they are. I have a fully fenced in yard, plenty of toys and puppy friends to keep your babe occupied and having the time of their lives! My dogs also have their own crates if our visitor is uneasy around our dogs.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs since I was little, from tiny friends to big, gentle giants. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable and will send timely updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands. I have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs and will happily stick to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable. While I wasn’t raised with cats in my home, I’ve had experience caring for them as well. Neighbors, family, friends, and even strangers have trusted me with their pets for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and more. I can’t wait to meet you and get to know your pets! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! Friday-Monday I am available around the clock for check-ins, walks, playtime, and feeding. Since I am available in your home, I will stick to your already established safety measures to keep your pet safe while you are away!
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and personalized care I give to every pet. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppy care (including basic training and potty routines), senior pets who may need extra support or medication reminders, and cats of all temperaments—from shy and quiet to playful and curious. Whether it’s structured walks, enrichment play, calm companionship, or keeping a consistent routine, I tailor my care to what each pet needs most. My goal is to make your dogs and cats feel genuinely loved and to give you complete peace of mind. I currently work full time. I am available after 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I will communicate if my schedule does change. When caring for pets—whether in my home or in yours—I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining a routine that helps them feel secure. I follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, medication (if needed), playtime, and cuddles just as you request. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also pay attention to behavior and energy changes to ensure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. No matter the location, my priority is creating a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where your pets feel cared for and understood.

“Jamie was absolutely wonderful. She made sure our cat Cali was taken care of. Cali needs insulin shot twice a day. She was there for her everyday. Jamie sent update on Cali and pictures. It was great to see how our Cali was doing as this was the first time having to use someone to give her insulin. Would highly recommend Jamie.”

Lynn was truly the best! She gave us such peace of mind caring for our frenchie while we were out of town. She provided detailed information about each visit and amazing picture updates. She really loved our pup like her own and we will 100% book with Lynn again in the future.
We knew within minutes of meeting Alannah that she was going to be a good fit to watch our pups. She had genuine interactions and care for both of them. You can tell she’s an animal lover!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Old Forge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Old Forge 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 Old Forge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
