“I had to go out of town unexpectedly and had never used a pet sitter before. Jaden responded almost immediately after I messaged on Tuesday, came for a meet and greet on Wednesday, and was sitting with my dog and cats on Thursday. My dog is very suspicious of everything, and not having used a pet sitter before, I was concerned on how she would react. Jaden was very patient with her. He also kept me updated with pictures and messages on how things were progressing, which made me feel much better. I couldn’t be more pleased with how he cared for my pets and would definitely contact him. Thanks Jaden!”
“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Becky was so great with our senior dog and three overly friendly kitties while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions and sent tons of updates and pictures. Our critters were so happy and well cared for. She gave us peace of mind and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you a million times, Becky!”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Kayla did amazing with my dog. Usually, when I leave town, my dog gets super nervous and has accidents all over the house. Not with Kayla! She kept me updated with daily pictures, and I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child! I understand that dogs are more than pets- they're family! That's why I provide personalized, attentive care that goes beyond a simple walk or feeding schedule. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, relaxing stroll, overnight companionship, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I focus on creating a safe, loving, stress-free experience tailored to their individual needs and personality. As a mother I understand how important it is to find a quality care-giver you can trust. That same level of care, responsibility, patience, and attention is what I bring to every dog I walk and sit. My approach is rooted in patience, reliability, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to details, follow routines carefully, and make sure your dog receives affection, exercise, and the care they deserve. You'll receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to stay connected to your furry family member. Even though my family doesn't have a dog currently, my children would love to have one. I felt that pet sitting and dog walking would be a good way for my children to see what it's like to have a dog. I will make sure your dog will be well taken care of! I'm able to check on your dog and/or walk your dog throughout the day. I'll make sure your dog is well taken care of, given plenty of food, water, and attention! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around while at my house! I also have children who love dogs. While pet sitting in your home, I will be professional, and respectful of your home.
About: I have done dog-sitting for family friends and others for years, including care for cats and dogs with medical issues. I also have my own dog who I am the sole caretaker of. I am a college student and intern for my healthcare program with plenty of flexibility throughout the week, weekends, and even overnights if needed ! I offer services to take your animals out on walks or do pop-in visits! I currently do not offer any pet-sitting services involving bringing them back to my home.
“Olivia was a great sitter for Gordon. She was willing to meet beforehand to go over things. And asked questions as needed. Going by the pictures and updates she provided, Gordon took to her and he was content while she was here. I will definitely use her pet/house sitting services again.”
“This was the 1st time we had Macy and was very, very happy with the service that she provided. Our little Chihuahua, Rosebud Marie, took to her and became her snuggle bug while she watched her for 10 days. She gave us a "Pupdate" everyday with pictures and we love it because it made us feel like we were right there. She will be definitely be our puppy sitter from now on. I would be recommending her to anyone that ask me who I had to watch my little girl. The next time she will be watching our little girl and our new little boy. P.S. Rosebud Marie says "Macy was the BEST" and wants her as her puppy sitter from now on. <3 <3”
About: I absolutely love caring for animails. It gives me joy like no other activity does. I have volunteered with a local rescue since 2014. Giving back to the pet community will be my number 1 priority while you are away. I work full time. However I am open to time on the wkends. And during the wk I can check in on your loved fur ball before & after I work. I have 1 cat. I care for her compeltly. Litter food vet visits, play time. I have owned dogs in the past & am used to being around them. They give me great joy as well. I am also open to other animail/pet care & not much scares me. Give me a chance & you will not be disapointed.
“Adam was an excellent dog sitter. Communication was great and he did a good job with our dogs. This is a bigger than usual deal for us. One of our dogs was a rescue who came from a bad situation and has some residual special considerations and weird quirks. We very much appreciated Adam's stellar care and attention to detail.”
About: I've had pets my entire life. My parents taught me the responsibilities of caring for animals. I've assisted my neighbors with their pets during emergencies and also provided pet care while they've gone on vacation. I've successfully performed cpr on a dog (mine) and a pot belly pig (friend's). Pet care is my full time career. I will work with you to create the best experience for your pet. I am able to meet your scheduling needs. I will provide constant supervision, playtime and love to your fur baby following any guidelines you've created. I like to send pictures and text messages to keep you updated.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals, and at home I have four dogs of my own and two mini ponies. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, newly rescued strays, and dogs dealing with fear, anxiety, separation anxiety, reactivity, and dog aggression. I’m naturally patient and calm, and I know that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and routine. My background in the human medical field has made me especially attentive and responsible, and when an owner gives me instructions, I follow them to the letter. I truly love animals, and I want every pet in my care, especially the nervous or more challenging ones, to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m currently in a career transition as I look for my next opportunity in the medical field, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Right now, I’m caring for pets full-time, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with your pet. I’m flexible throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute needs or changing schedules. My own dogs have special needs, so for their safety and comfort, I’m unable to bring other pets into my home. I’m happy to come to you, and I’ll treat your pets just like I would want someone to treat mine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, so I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect their routines and boundaries, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“We had a great experience with Emina and Jackson. They did so good with all our dogs with their varying personalities. Also they were very accommodating when we requested an extra day. Overall great experience and would use them again.”
“Hannah was fantastic! She took very good care of my two fur babies. She was a great communicator as well. There was a little glitch with her ability to get into my house, and Hannah remained calm and figured out the situation before I even had a chance to respond to her text. I highly recommend Hannah!”
“Barbara took care of my senior dog while I camped overnight. My pup gets a little stressed when I’m away. I can tell that Barbara took great care of her because she wasn’t anxious when I got home, just happy! She was very friendly and you can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. I grew up with dogs and have experience with all ages, breeds, and sizes! I have a gentle and kind demeanor to not stress shy dogs, and am willing to work to gain their trust! All dogs have unique needs that I can meet, and I can assure you that your dogs’ needs will come first and you can trust that they will be safe in my care! I am currently a student on summer break from college, and am available for pet sitting and walking all days of the week at any time! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs that I feed, walk, and love on daily. I am not able to board but can assure you that I will take care of your pet just as I would my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Paxtang
Brianna took excellent care of our greyhound Wrigley while we were gone on a 10 day trip. Wrigley was healthy and happy on our return, and Brianna kept us updated with texts and pictures while we were on our trip. The house was immaculate on our return. We would definitely reach out to her for future trips!
Sadie was an amazing sitter! I felt so confident and at ease leaving my senior cat with her when I had to leave on an extended ten day trip. Her communication with me was excellent during that time and she sent so many pictures and videos of my boy. My cat thrives on affection and it was such a great peace of mind to see him cuddling and bonding with her during that time. She did a wonderful job keeping his routine and little likes steady for him while I was gone so that I didn’t have a single worry. A bonus was that she kept me up to date on everything that was happening with my home as well. I am looking forward to booking with Sadie again for my next trip and I know my fur baby will have a great time with her while I’m away! Thank you so much Sadie! :) -Walter, Elle, and Chester
Jaden was great with our 2 dogs while we were away on a cruise. Our one dog is very shy and skittish and he was very patient with her. He sent us updates all along even though we didn't always see them due to cell service. We came home and I wouldn't even known he was here as the house looked just as we left it. I would definitely use Jaden in the future.
Jessica has watched our dogs twice now, and they love her! We have extremely attached dogs, and being able to leave them with a reliable sitter they feel comfortable with is such a relief. Our older dog has a bad habit of finding paper to tear up when he’s stressed, but he was the calmest we’ve ever seen him after being away from us for multiple days. Jessica is very communicative and straightforward, we’re beyond grateful to have found someone so reliable and dedicated to the welfare of our pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Paxtang is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $62 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Paxtang walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Paxtang maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Paxtang 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Paxtang. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
