About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. Growing up we always had pets! I love animals and I have two dogs of my own.

I am open to all care just let me know and I look forward to hearing from you! I am self employed right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I do plan my schedule a week in advance usually but am also open to last minute bookings. I have a fenced in back yard with two fur babies of my own. I can easily crate my dogs or yours if that’s what you prefer or is necessary!

Being a college student online gives me extreme flexibility through the week. I am so excited to meet your furbabies! I currently live in an apartment. I normally crate my puppy when I’m not home. I can do the same for you if needed. Anything that is needed I will be willing to do my best to accommodate to that.

“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.”
About: I am a dog lover who has 24 years experience. I have taken care of neighbors, coworkers, and family members dogs. I have 2 dogs right now so lots of personal experience. I have experience with timid/shy dogs and will take the extra steps to gain trust. I am comfortable administering medications as well. I am working full-time as a nurse on night shift. I am available for drop-ins, day care, or dog walking on my days off. My schedule is not consistent but I can work with you if you are willing to work with me! I have a fully fenced yard with about a quarter acre in the backyard. I have 2 dogs (border collie mix and beagle) who would love friends to play with if you want to drop them off!

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends for several years. I provide loving and patient care and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog mom of two myself, I understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away, so I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I work Monday thru Friday but my schedule is flexible and I alternate between going into the office and working remotely (typically only going into the office 1-3 days per week). Because I have two dogs at home myself, my schedule is already set up with breaks on the days I’m in the office to allow for potty breaks. I live in a house with a fully fenced in backyard in a safe and quiet location. I do own two friendly golden retrievers myself, but am happy to accommodate your pet by crating mine and/or separating them if your dog is anxious. I will discuss with you what you are comfortable with and adjust as needed!
“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.”
About: I have a lot of patience with our furry friends and recognize all of their own unique personalities and needs. Taking care of animals is very effortless & second nature to me. Maintenance such as dog walks, baths, nail trims, ear cleanings, keeping a clean litterbox, shots, vet visits, simply making time to play, all of these are very essential to a happy and healthy furry life, which I'm incredibly happy providing. Pet care is absolutely incorporated into my own self-care. My animals are my favorite part of my day, every day, and I don't think there would be much self-care on my end without them. I live down a dirt road with plenty of privacy and space to tread. Located in a wooded area far enough from the road so my dogs are off leash 99% of the time. Nearby access to water that we’ve have played in for years. Convenient fence as needed, with a shelter, kitty pools and plenty toys of course. I have plenty of space on my property to accommodate different needs at once. It's about catering to the animal's preference to me.
“Amber is sweet, considerate, and professional. We felt very comfortable and relaxed knowing she was checking in on our babies. She has such a heart for animals and it really shows through her work. We highly recommend Amber and would use her again and again in the future!”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our three dogs over the holidays. One is a puppy still working on his house training which can be a lot of extra work but she was amazing. I got pictures every day and I came home to a clean house and three happy dogs!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I have also cared for other animals since I was 10. I did dog walking, sitting, and over night stays for 2 years in a previous state. I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a completely open schedule and can be very flexible. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for pups to run. I also have a variety of crates if that’s something that is preferred.
About: I've had a husky and a pitbull growing up and I currently have two cats. I get along great with both. I am outgoing and calm in hectic situations. Im currently unemployed, until I move later this month, so I have plenty of time to play/care for your fur babies. Im free Sunday-Friday and I am currently not available on Saturdays. I play with my cats on a daily basis and I love playing with dogs and can follow instructions on certain feeding schedules and can seperate feed if needed for multi pet households.
About: Family has always had cats and dogs. I absolutely love them! Usually when family would go out of town I would watch the animals for them. I work from 7:30 am to 4 pm during the week but on the weekends I’m usually home taking care of my dog who is very people and animal friendly. I have a dog so I’m always taking her outside and taking care of her. I have a fenced in backyard so taking them outside to potty is easier but I will also go outside with them just to make sure. I have a dog myself so they will be taken care of. I love all animals!
About: I have had animals my entire life. I have experience bathing/watching senior dogs and puppies for extended time periods. I also have experience with cats of all ages and medical care if necessary I am doing my masters online and need to exercise more! I love walking and being outdoors. I am usually free most week days and some weekends take trips with friends. I have a fully fenced in backyard and a dog myself. My dog is fully crate trained and I have 2 extra bedrooms for your fur babies where they will get my undivided attention!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkton
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Vanessa! Her experience as a vet tech gave me so much peace of mind, especially caring for my Finnicky diabetic dog who needed extra patience with his insulin injections, encouragement, and motivation to eat. She was kind, compassionate, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She also handled my funny little dog who absolutely does NOT like the rain with so much patience and understanding! 😂 She took the time to work with both of their individual personalities and needs, and I could tell they were in very caring hands. Her communication, professionalism, and genuine love for my dogs meant so much to me. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were being cared for by someone with both the experience and heart to handle them. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Parkton is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 852 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Parkton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parkton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
