“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.”
“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 over four years of hands-on experience providing dog walking and pet sitting services for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. I am comfortable with a variety of temperaments, including shy, high-energy, and routine-driven pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I currently have two dogs and three cats, so daily care, feeding routines, exercise, and recognizing behavioral cues are all a natural part of my life. I’m attentive, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, or just companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my own two dogs and three cats every day. I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so adding additional pets fits naturally into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and sitting, and I do my best to be flexible to meet each pet’s specific routine and needs. Whether your pet needs early morning care, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m committed to being reliable and consistent so they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. Since I provide care in your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any specific routines your pet is used to. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m very mindful of home safety—making sure doors are secure, pets are safely leashed during walks, and your home is respected and left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and handling different temperaments, including shy or high-energy pets.
“Kaitlin did great and was very sweet taking care of my girl. Followed a specific instructions on how she was fed and my girl was very happy and not anxious when I got home. Definitely recommend her, thankyou so much for your help!!!”
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.
“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 have experience taking care of dogs, cats and ferrets. I can come to your home to pet sit or it can be in my home too if needed. I work part time at a preschool. I can take care of a pet in the morning and in the afternoons any time after 2. I can go to the clients home to pet sit. Or it can be in my home. I have a large fenced back yard. Or I can go to your home if your pet is more comfortable there.
“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.”
“We are so grateful to Kim for taking care of Kira while we were away! Kira is a very shy and fearful rescue dog who has had a tough adjustment period, and Kim was so calm, patient, and professional the entire time. Kim showed incredible care, understanding, and experience in handling a challenging dog with compassion. She kept us updated regularly and made sure Kira was safe, fed, and as comfortable as possible. We truly appreciate her patience and kindness. Thank you again, Kim!”
About: Hello everyone! Here’s a little bit of information about me. I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and age since I was 10. Neighbors, family and friends have came to me to walk, feed and bathe their fur babies. I personally have two fur babies. A Belgian Malinois/Husky puppy (age 7 months) and my sisters dog that I am caring for while she is trucking (age 4 years old). I’ve watched over new born pups when my family dogs had puppies. I am currently training my puppy some basic manners and tricks. I am currently in the Reserves (part-time) with the Army, I will be available any day of the week except Friday afternoon. Occasionally I will have some weekend and holiday availability. I currently have a fenced in back yard and 2 fur babies to keep your lovely pup company. If your dog is crate trained and needs to be crated that’s no problem there’s plenty of space for a crate. If your pup doesn’t interact with other fur babies I can have them in separate areas as we have gates and a guest room.
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hello! I have over 10 years of experience in ER Veterinary Medicine and studied Animal Science and Biology in college. I have always lived in a home with pets; from cats, dogs, birds and a hamster named Victor Newman. I currently live in a home with 3 dogs and a fiesty cat. My dog, Dez, is a senior pup with special needs. He has had IVDD for the last 6 years and requires specialized care. With that, I am versed in care for pets with special needs and medication administration. During the summer months, I have more availability throughout the day to care for our furry loved ones. Beginning mid August, my availability may be limited to just the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard for dogs with plenty of room for the zoomies. Proper leash/harness/collar attire will be applied to your dog if your home is not fenced in or there is a possibility for escape. I do not use retractable leashes due to the likelihood that they break or fail. If necessary, I may require a non retractable leash for any future bookings with me. Cats are not allowed outside at my residence under any circumstances.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life starting at age 11 years old. I raised my pit mix for 10 years and my current dog is 5 who I potties trained in 6 months. I’ve also pet-sat for friends often and I have experience handling different breeds personalities and energy levels. I’m a lifelong animal lover and treat every pet like family. I’m a teacher currently out for the summer and pet care fits perfectly into my part-time routine. I’m looking for flexible work that lets me enjoy spending time with your pups! I’m available for drop ins visits during the week and weekends as well as dog walking. My schedule is open, reliable, and easy to work with. Pet safety is always my top priority. I follow your routines closely to keep your pet comfortable. I communicate clearly, send updates, and treat your pet with the same care I give my own. You can trust that your furry family member is safe, respected, and loved with me .
“Rey was great to work with . She communicated well and was very thorough in taking care of my dog. She went over and beyond to make sure my pup was okay while I was out of town.”

“This is the second time I've used Aneliese's service (drop-in visits) and feel very comfortable doing so. She's always on time and stays with my dog for a good while during the visits. I highly recommend Aneliese's service to anyone looking for dog/animal care!”

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.

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.
