“Megan was great, she stayed with my animals, sent me updates! Made my vacation so much better knowing my animals were in great care! Cleaned up when she left, best experience ever!”
“We hired Nimo to house sit our cat for nine days. She is a joy to work with. She took great care of our cat. She followed our instructions, responded to our messages, and sent us loads of adorable pictures of our cat. We could tell that she loves animals. We feel comfortable trusting her with our cat and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Olivia was amazing with our pets! She took great care of our special needs dog and two cats while we were away. Super reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. We felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years now. I have three pups of our own and come from a family of pet lovers! Love spending time with pups and helping them keep comfortable in the comfort of their own home. I work full time in a flexible and hybrid environment. Whether the pups are with me or I am staying with the pups in the owner’s home, I make sure they are comfortable and getting all necessary activities. I will work with each pet family’s care guidelines to make sure they are getting the best and stress free care! For us, we have a fenced in yard which helps us with ongoing activities.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for the last 3 years but I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve pet sat a variety of different animals like dogs, cats, birds, goats, bunnies and horses aswell as reptiles and fish. I’ve also cared for senior animals, puppies and kittens, and animals with disabilities. I’ve house trained my own dogs and cats. I also am very comfortable with administrating medicine as I’ve had to do it for animals big and small. I’m also comfortable with very energetic animals as well as skittish timid animals. I’m very flexible whatever works for you works for me! I do have a part time job but with enough time I can find ways to work with you around it. I understand some animals might require a lot of attention and that is completely ok! I want what makes the owner comfortable and the animal! Your animal will have 100% of my attention!! I’ll provide tons of updates and communication with you so you can have the peace of mind your fur baby is having the best time. Communication is a big thing for me so I’d love to know everything you’re comfortable with as well your pet. I’m a very clean and cautious person so I will ensure your pet has the best environment possible.
“Treanne sat overnight for our 15 year old dog, Fox between June 30th - July 5th. I was so happy with our experience- she was so attentive to our guy especially with his age and neighbors shooting fireworks over the 4th. She sent daily pictures and updates with him. I had a peace of mind while being away. If we go away again, I would not hesitate to book Treanne again.”
“Patience did a remarkable job watching our house, and three fur kids! She went above and beyond by preparing our dogs meals for the day on the morning she left. She sent us photo's throughout her stay with the pups. Patience has great communication skills, and is flexible when plans change during her time at our home. Simply the best experience we have had!”
About: They call me the female dog whisperer. I've always had a passion for animals and I love dogs & all the different breeds & personalities ! I thoroughly enjoy all the different breeds of dogs and cats along with all of their very specific needs! I am going to be attending school in March for dog training and I'm so excited to start that! For I have always wanted a career working with animals I love all kinds of animals, dogs,cats, birds, lizards, I had to Schneider skinks .,..in the past. Mojave and Sahara just like the deserts! Your dog&/or cat will be treated as part of the family, just like my own dog is treated. I'll follow your rules & routines. Just give me as much information as you can, & we will stick to that schedule! If your dog sleeps in your bed, then your dog will sleep in my bed and if your dog is used to eating at nigh, well then that's when your dog will eat, or if in they are used to eating in the am, then they shall eat in the am! I'm experienced with giving oral medications to dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. I do have a Boston Terrier named Bandit who is a little guy about 20 lb but he thinks he's a big dog but he wouldn't hurt a fly! Lol. Any ? S please feel free to ask? I'm home 24/7 at this time in my life, unless I have a Dr Apt. Even if I do have a doctor's appointment, they don't take all day by any means. I would absolutely let you know ahead of time if that was the case! I believe in clear, concise, specific, & honest communication! I have a fenced in yard. I also have a clothesline going through my backyard where I can put the dogs out on a long leash if they are sneaky escape artist( like my little stinker! None of that happening here! As I said before , I am pretty much home 24/7 & if I do leave I am not usually

About: I’ve held two jobs consisting of dog care, one which included stopping by houses to clean waste/greet clients and their dogs. Second, in a doggy daycare where I oversaw many dogs at once in daycare activities. As for boarding dogs, the chores consisted of walking, feeding, bathing, and giving enrichment to dogs. I’ve worked with anxious and aggressive dogs, younger and older dogs, small and big. But I have always loved all dogs. I’ve learned dog body language very well and have grown up with three. All dogs deserve the right care and happiness. I am very flexible and I am completely open! Sunday - Saturday , Morning - Night I’m around York, PA area & willing to commute far :) I am very detail oriented so when it comes to pet specific needs, I’m easy to work with. I take responsibility for my actions and aim to care for your pet the way they need. I understand every animal is different, every client is different, so I’m willing to learn and provide great communication.
About: Dogs are my passion. I've always had dogs in my house growing up. From taking care of neighbors, to past teachers, friends and widespread family, people know they can trust me with their furry friends. In 2019 I started professionally walking dogs, and explored pet sitting. I worked with a variety of different animals, from day to day, and over night! I have experience feeding (Free and timed), giving oral/topical medication, bathing/brushing, walking, and lastly giving LOTS of love and affection to your perfect pup! Dogs always come first in my line of work! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for outside of my full-time work schedule. I work during the weekdays, but I have open availability all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and boarding needs. My weekends allow me to dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care, providing plenty of playtime, companionship, exercise, and personalized care. I have over 5 years of experience in pet sitting and boarding, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I strive to make their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe pets do best when they can stay in a familiar environment with the routines, care, and attention they are used to. I provide detailed updates after every visit or walk, including information about their behavior, activities, meals, bathroom breaks, and anything important I notice. I take pride in caring for each pet down to the smallest detail, whether that means following specific instructions, maintaining their schedule, administering medications when needed, or simply giving them the extra love and attention they deserve. My goal is always for both pets and owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they are apart.
About: I've had cats since I was 2. Then we got a dog when I was 10. I take him for walks and throw a ball in the yard for him too play. I did go to my friend's house and take care of their dog while on vacation. I bathe and feed him and everything else. I also watched my grandma's dog when she went on vacation. I work Monday-Friday 7am-3pm. I have weekends off. If I have a baby sitter I wouldn't mind doing a weekend shift and a night shift We have a fenced in yard. They have food and water at all times. We have lots of toys for them to play with. We play all the time.

Morgan was fantastic! This was the first time I took a vacation without Boomer. Naturally I was concerned how he would do. Morgan was excellent in keeping me informed and also sent frequent pics. I returned home to a clean house and a happy dog. I would not hesitate to use Mirgan again and I highly recommend her!
Yana did an incredible job! Our house was left cleaner than when we left. She washed the sheets and towels. Koda can be a difficult old lady but she’s out world and Yana took excellent care of her. We felt comfortable with her in our home. Very responsible. We would 💯 use her again and would recommend her for overnight stays!
Hailee is incredible! Did a great job taking care of our girl and keeping us updated throughout our time away! We loved hearing all the updates and seeing all the pictures! We felt like our house was safe and even more importantly, our girl was safe! Leaving your house and pet in the hands of a complete stranger is hard but Koda does best at home when we go away. We loved knowing that Hailee took time everyday to play and engage with koda. It made us so happy. She really went above and beyond. Kept to koda’s schedule and kept our home clean! We will 💯 use Hailee again if she available!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ore Valley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ore Valley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Ore Valley 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!
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.
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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
