Danielle was a huge relief after our regular sitter planned a last minute trip the same time they were supposed to watch the puppies. She was great. Communicated quickly. Super sweet with the puppies.

These girls went above and beyond when I had some additional requests while I was away. I 1000% recommend them to anyone that is looking for someone that will take the time to treat your pets like their own. Will definitely be using them for more worry-free vacations.

Catherine was fantastic! She checked in on my dogs at the agreed upon time, gave an update of potty breaks, took pictures of the dogs at play with her, and my dogs seem so happy. Catherine did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and put my mind at ease knowing they were being checked on with care

Jenna did a great job with my two cats. They are quite shy and go into hiding when anyone comes to the house. It took some time but by the end Ricky was greeting Jenna and getting some pets. Can't give a better endorsement than that! I had an accident while on vacation and needed help for about 5 weeks longer than planned which Jenna was able to do. That was extremely helpful. I would definitely use Jenna again an highly recommend her.

I recently had Sarah care for my two cats, while I was out of the country for 10 days, and she did a fantastic job. My cats are pretty easy to look after - just food, water, litter box, and a little playtime but she went above and beyond. When I returned, the cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Nothing in the house was disturbed, which shows they felt loved and secure. On top of that, Sarah was thoughtful enough to bring in my mail and even took the trash can in from the curb, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and will definitely book her again in the future!

About: I have a dog of my own that I take care of as well as various dogs from friends and family that I have dog sat for. I enjoy taking the dogs out for walks or just giving them some company for overnights or hours during the day. I cater to the dogs energy levels weather that means play or relax time! I am a nursing student at James Madison University, so am looking for early morning or evening walks and occasional pet sitting. At home in Maryland I have a boston terrier so I am always making sure his needs are met before I do any of my activities. He goes for 3 walks a day and loves to play outside and get his energy out. At home, I have a fenced yard and always ensure that it is closed before I let mine or anybody else’s dog outside. In a clients home I will do no different. Safety is a top priority for me and ensuring that all gates are closed and locked ensures dog safety. For in home services I will always double check that doors are locked and contact clients for any concerns.

About: Hi! Honestly, just here to fill a void for safe, affordable, reliable care in the community. I have a golden doodle that we're obsessed with and found that there's not a ton of options in the immediate area for reliable, safe care. Fenced in back yard! Currently a part time nurse that works 2-3 days a week. Availability will be made around my work schedule. Daily walks around the neighborhood to explore. I have a fenced in back yard with a friendly golden doodle. He's not crated but can offer crating the animals visiting if a crate is provided!

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and horses and have experience with other animals such as bearded dragons, snakes, geckos, sugar gliders, hedgehogs, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and farm animals. I completed the two-year Veterinary Science course at MTC and interned at a local veterinary office and daycare during high school. I currently have 6 dogs and my neighbors have entrusted me with their pets' care multiple times over the years as well. I have worked with as small as a 5-pound chihuahua to as big as a greyhound and GSD's and am open to caring for many more breeds and sizes. I currently work part-time and also work/volunteer at a barn when needed. The care for your fur babies will always come first and if need be, we would figure out scheduling. I care for your pets' every basic need along with their special needs like medications if needed. I also strive to spend time with them so that they aren't feeling lonely like taking them for walks and having play time and rest time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Penn Laird on Rover is $18.87 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 745 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Penn Laird. 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 Penn Laird 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 Penn Laird. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
