“We are new to town, and first-time users of Rover, but Cassidy did a thorough job at preparing us, and made us feel at ease. She was amazing with our 2 GSPs, and kept us up to date the entire time. We will be using her again. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Jessica was great with our cats. The one is usually not big on people and she would come out for pictures every visit. She was very detailed in her report after each detail. Highly recommend.”
“Thank you again Susan for the good care you give to our little old lady. Angel appreciates you and so do we. Enjoyed the pictures. Thank you for the Christmas picture of Angel. We love it.”
“Karla is absolutely fantastic! She’s extremely reliable, flexible, and always willing to help on short notice. I never have to worry when she’s caring for my dogs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!”
“Clara has helped us out so many times with both of our pups. My girls absolutely loved her and got so excited to see her. My puppy had tummy issues and had an accident in her crate which got on herself, Clara was more then willing to give her a bath and clean out her crate so my pup wouldn’t have to sit in it all day! She’s amazing with communication and will respond quickly when she’s able too! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to truly care about your animal while you’re gone!!”
“I am so overjoyed to have found an amazing dog sitter for Nola! My lab is slightly fearful and I wasn’t sure how the first session would go, however, Tess was a natural and my lab is tired from her fun adventures! I can’t be more excited to have her as our go to sitter. My mini vacation was so peaceful knowing Nola was in great hands. Multiple photos were shared to assure me Nola was having a blast! Thank you so much, Tess!!”
“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!”
“Siyani helped us so much by being Bella's personal buddy while we hosted a function at our home! Bella still gets overstimulated with a lot of guests at our house and having Siyani walk her around, play with her, and help her get water when needed was an amazing help! Thank you so much! 💓”
“Alexandra is awesome! Very responsive and reliable. Always attentive to the well being of my girl! You can tell she is very passionate about animals and i never worry when callie is in her care. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“I am so thankful for Beth! She was quick to respond and took great care of my dogs in a last minute booking. She sent pictures and gave a great update for how the visit went. I will definitely be using her in the future when I need a drop in visit!”
“Brandy is amazing! I highly recommend her help. She was so friendly, prompt and responsive and clearly cares about and is a natural with animals. I could tell my cats were in very good hands. Thanks again, Brandy!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner currently owned by three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger 😸 With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, including medical support—my cat Chewy has asthma, so I’m experienced with daily treatments and paying attention when something seems off. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes, from my own growing up to helping with my brother’s Great Dane. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with patience, reliability, and the same attention I’d want for my own pets. Since I work from home in Hummelstown, I have flexibility in my schedule that makes pet care a great fit. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can reliably stop by in the morning, during lunch, and after work for visits, walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’d rather provide consistent, attentive care to nearby pets than overextend myself. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines and feel safe in their own environment. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any little quirks or preferences that make your pet comfortable. Safety is very important to me, whether that means double-checking doors and gates, following leash safety, being mindful of food restrictions, or simply paying attention if a pet seems stressed or not acting like themselves. As a longtime pet owner—including caring for a cat with daily medical needs—I know how important attentiveness and consistency are. I also understand the trust involved in having someone care for your pets and enter your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Dani was amazing! I was apprehensive (first time using Rover), but I’m so glad I did. She was professional and courteous, took great care of my dogs, and was pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond in all aspects, I highly recommend!!!”
“Abby is the sitter everyone needs. She is reliable and thoughtful. She is able to navigate a changing landscape like adjusting to give meds. Thanks to her I have peace of mind when my little guy can’t be with me.”

Cassidy did an amazing job cat sitting our fur babies. She went above and beyond to get shy kitties to eat. She sent pictures and updates every day. I would give Cassidy a higher rating if it was available. We will definitely use Cassidy again. Thank you Cassidy!
Kristin did a spectacular job! She took care of my pets as if they were her own! She followed my care instructions and kept my house in order. My pets were stress free. She sent wonderful videos of them receiving love and attention! I couldn’t have asked for anything better ❤️
This was my first pet sitter booking ever and I was a little nervous about it. Tess made me feel at ease and confident that my kitties would be well taken care of over the holidays. One kitty loved her immediately while the other had to warm up to her. By the end of the drop-in visits he was his usual, loving and purring self. Tess followed my instructions and was respectful of my property while I was away. She also picked up an extra day on short notice. I will book a pet sitter for all of my time away from home, and I wouldn't hesitate to book Tess again
Rob and Jennifer were great! They helped us out last minute and were prompt and enthusiastic about taking care of our little dog Bentley! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he would be happy and well taken care of while we were away! Thank you again for everything you did!! We appreciate you guys so much!!
Clara has helped us out so many times with both of our pups. My girls absolutely loved her and got so excited to see her. My puppy had tummy issues and had an accident in her crate which got on herself, Clara was more then willing to give her a bath and clean out her crate so my pup wouldn’t have to sit in it all day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palmyra on Rover is $25.72 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 1,978 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmyra. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Palmyra 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palmyra. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
