“Ceinwein did a great job and was available with short notice. Very reliable and experienced with dealing with an elderly dog and giving medication. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: Your pet’s new best friend and spoiler when you’re not around. With a degree in Animal Science and over 30 years of experience in everything from paws to claws (and even scales and feathers!), I’ve worked as a veterinary technician, an animal behaviorist (yes, I speak fluent dog AND cat), and I’ve even run my own pet care company for years providing daily walks, home visits and even house sitting. Whether your dog thinks they’re a couch potato or your cat is a secret ninja, I’m here to make sure they’re pampered, safe, and entertained. From horses to hedgehogs, I’ve got you covered – and their best interests are always my top priority. Your pets will be in the hands of an experienced professional who’s equally passionate about their care and keeping them spoiled while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your fur, feathered, or scaly family members soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a complimentary meet & greet session. I am currently working as a full-time teacher, but am very accommodating and flexible to stay overnight, do morning and afternoon visits to see your pets are safe and happy. On the weekends I can be there around the clock, but during the week I am away for work. Unfortunately, I don't offer sitting in my home. Landlord's rules, not mine. But I am happy to take care of your pets in their own environment by staying at yours, which research shows is less stressful and traumatic for your pet.
“Katerina & Seth were AMAZING. She provided constant updates and tons of pictures. Even though we couldn't really answer as we were traveling out of the country, she still made sure we got our updates. Our pup absolutely adored them, and went above and beyond of drop in visits! I will recommend them to everyone and 100% use again !”
“Chelsea has been such a wonderful addition to our regular schedule ! She is friendly, reliable, timely, and detail oriented. She promptly fills us in on any important happenings throughout her visits. Most importantly she takes such good care of our Sadie girl, and we are so thankful 🙂”
“So glad I we were able to hook-up with Lauren. She was exceptionally attentive for a first visit, which was much appreciated. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have cared for a variety of breeds! I have always helped out my friends, family, and neighbors with their pets! By caring for them, walking them, and spending quality time with them! I have 2-3 days off during the week and would genuinely love to spend that time with animals. I have time available to not just walk and feed your pets but also provide them with playful interactions and quality time spent! I have a fenced in yard so my pets are always able to access a big space safely. I also walk my pets daily and make sure if it is night time I have a flashlight to make sure myself and the animal are visible!
“This was Kaitlyn’s first visit with our dog. She is punctual and friendly, and it is obvious that she likes animals. We appreciated her help today and will book again!”
“Jason is a great companion for Dash when we are away. Really appreciate the daily communication, videos and pictures. It’s fun to see how much Dash loves the visits.”
“So glad we found Juliette to cat sit our shy rescue Samantha! It was evident how much Juliette loves cats! It gave us peace of mind to know Samantha was in good hands while we were away and we appreciated the photos!”
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
About: I have had dogs, one or two, and a cat since I was born. I firmly believe that dogs that get outside for exercise and play will have a happier, healthier life. I'm currently finishing graduate school and happy to help out with animals of all sizes. I love to be outside and walking dogs is always a great way to spend some time. I'm happy to help walk dogs in the morning or evening and willing to provide house care as well! I work at a PT clinic close by, 8 hours a day so happy to care for your pets if this fits the need! I have 2 dogs who are very good with other dogs, we have a fenced yard and a big deck and a forest behind for exercise
“I’m highly impressed with Aaron. He takes dog walking to another level! Very professional and transparent. Not only does he take the dogs for a walk, but he clocks his departure and arrival and includes a map of where he went. He leaves a real nice summary that paints a picture of the dog’s outing. My 2 dogs are having a lot of fun with him. My German Shepherd dog took right to him, sensing that Aaron was a true dog lover, especially lover of German Shepherd dogs 😁. In addition to loving dogs and giving them a great time, he has that extra sense of knowing how to care for them. He let me know he wiped the salt from my dogs’’ paws upon his return from a walk in the snow. I’m feeling blessed to have found him.”
“Rosie had her first walk with Rikki today! We are super satisfied and already booked another walk! Rikki is attentive and kind. She was able to handle our 2y/o GSD very well and was very willing to use the German commands that Rosie is familiar with!”
About: Hello! My name is Danielle and I grew up with MANY different animals ranging from, cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, pigs and birds right by my side...yes I said pigs. This lifestyle has shaped me to become an energetic animal advocate. If you have any questions let me know! Otherwise I would love to meet your fur-baby! I currently work M-F and enjoy spending my weekends with my two pups. We love going to the park, and exploring new spots to encourage enrichment. Open communication with the owners is important to me. I prefer a meet and greet and assure I fully understand the environment and the needs of their loved one.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Ottsville 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.
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 .
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.

- 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
