“Margaret did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She was awesome at communicating and keeping us informed of what was going on and sent very cute pictures of him while we were away.”
“Carrie is absolutely amazing! We are 100% repeat customers from here on. She was great with the dogs, and even worked with them on their training while we were gone. She is very punctual and professional, and communicates very well to let you know everything is going okay. She takes amazing pictures and clearly loves working with animals. Thanks Carrie, you will be hearing back from us again!!!”
“Amber did drop-in visits with our cats over Christmas while my partner and I visited his family. She was simultaneously warm and highly professional; I felt much more at ease going out of town after having talked over pet care with her. Her updates were timely and thoughtful: every drop-in, she made sure to fill out the Rover cards with several photos and a summary of the visit, and each time it felt like getting updates from a friend. Sappho and Sonnet were both clearly at ease with her. :)”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have cared for dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had the privilege of having many different breeds and mixed breeds as part of my family, so I have a lot of varied experience. You can count on me for happy paws and lots of tail wags! I am available to walk or drop in on your dog during the day on weekdays! The hours would be between 9-12:30 Monday through Thursday. We currently have a chocolate lab who is 8 years old and is such a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch in our backyard and go on walks with the family. I plan to treat your dog with the same love and care as my own.
“Great sitter! She had excellent communication, was available on short notice, and took great care of my babies. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely book with her again.”
“Kim was fantastic with our boys. She kept us updated everyday and sent great photos. We felt like our dogs were in great hands which gave us peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Kim to anyone.”
About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I’m also happy to learn your pet’s individual routine, personality, and preferences. I work during the week, but I’m available outside of my work hours and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal routine and will be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions you provide. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s routine and personality and will communicate with you throughout their care so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
“All 3 of my dogs enjoyed spending time with Ms. Tyreika during the day to get a potty break and some enrichment/snuggle time. She sent me photos each day and gave me peace of mind that my dogs were well taken care of while I was away.”
About: I've spent the majority of my life tending to various different pets (dogs, cats, & smaller breeds such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds). I have great compassion for animals and strive to facilitate a sense of comfort, fun, and care for them. I'm currently abundantly available Sundays through Fridays, not on Saturdays as I work my other job. I understand caring for pets is a constant commitment. I am comfortable integrating calmly into your home space, patiently tending to animals that may require a little extra care, and giving plenty of head pats/belly rubs/cuddles/treats (if they're allowed).
“Very happy with Camille's drop in on our kitties. She did everything we asked and more. Our cats felt comfortable enough to come greet her, which says a lot! Really great communication from her too. Will absolutely keep her in mind for future needs!”
“Khalil did an outstanding job of taking care of my dog keeping me informed of everything that was going on and he was always prompt and on time. He also provided pictures and videos and ensure that my house was locked up and secured when he left. I would recommend him to anyone outstanding job.”
“Taylor provided excellent care to our two Dobermans. She was willing to come out early and meet our dogs and was very friendly. She arrived on time for a drop in visit and provided timely updates and many pictures of our dogs hanging out. We were very happy to use Taylor and will absolutely reach out to her again for future visits and stays during our travels.”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter. I love spending time with animals and will treat your pets like my own. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love. I’m patient with both young and older pets and will always follow your pet’s routine. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I have experience taking care of my sisters’ dogs and my own dogs. I’ve cared for older dogs who need extra patience and gentle care, as well as energetic dogs like pit bulls who love to play. I match each dog’s energy and personality to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to give every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which helps me communicate with more pet owners and make sure everyone feels comfortable and understood. With school starting soon and my part-time job at Five, I have a set schedule that allows me to make time for pet care. I am mostly available on weekends and on Tuesdays and Thursdays before 11 AM. I’m responsible with my time and can work around my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, care, and love they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to use my free time to help take care of them. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I will follow their normal routine, give them food and water, play with them, and give them lots of attention. I will respect the owner’s home and instructions while making sure their pet feels happy and secure.
“Samantha did a great job visiting my Moxie. She visited her and walked her. She did more than requested and Moxie was tired out from all the attention. Samantha sent a lot of pictures of the visit, which aloud me to see how much fun Moxie was having. I will be using her again!”

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 Parkton 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 Parkton 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. 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.
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 Parkton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parkton. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
