About: I’ve had dogs since I was born! I currently have 2 dogs, a chinchilla, and a hamster! I have grown up taking care of my dogs, along with all my other pets along the years! I have cat experience, as my brother has 2 and my roommates and I have fostered cats. I am a student, so I have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with a gap in the late morning/early afternoon. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are open, along with my weekends! I am easily available to come to your home to care for your dog! I can crate, feed, walk, etc. with no problem. I currently live in an apartment with 3 other girls. Caring for your pet at my apartment may not be feasible, but is something I am definitely open to talking about, if needed!

“Ryan took great care of our 2 year old chocolate lab while we were out of town for the day. He arrived right on time for each drop in visit and provided photos and a little update after each drop in. We will absolutely be hiring Ryan again!”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and build trust with both pets and owners. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps in supervision. I’m able to easily adjust my work hours to accommodate walks, playtime, and any specific care needs, including medications or special routines. On a weekly basis, my flexibility also allows me to take on longer visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care whenever needed. I prioritize following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions to ensure their well-being and reduce stress. I take time to build trust with pets through patience, gentle handling, and consistent care, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean, safe environment by monitoring surroundings, preventing potential hazards, and ensuring pets are always supervised appropriately. My goal is to create a calm, reliable space where pets feel at ease and owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands.

About: Hello Hello! My name is Olivia and I have had dogs, cats, fish, you name it ever since I was little. In May, I started working at a doggy daycare/pet hotel and it was an amazing experience and made me realize I want to keep doing it. While I work at the restaurant a few days a week, I’m not gone for too long. I can walk and take care of the babies accordingly! I live in a four bedroom house with three roommates, 1 female 2 male, in a quiet neighborhood. I don’t have a yard but the neighborhood is very good to take walks around!

About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!

About: I have had the honor of raising my dog for 10 years. I understand the responsibilities involved with taking care of a dog from birth to old age. I have also owned other pets which I have broadened my scope on how to take care of animals in general. Along with this, I have previously dog-sat for a neighbor with 2 dogs for 2 years, and love learning how to adapt to the needs of different dogs! In addition to this, I am a pre-med individual with hands-on experience taking care of people, so I understand the basic principles of being empathetic and caring towards others. I’m currently a student with classes strictly in the mornings, so I have a substantial amount of availability to care for your dogs! I am also open to any weekends (with the exception of Sunday mornings for church) and am extremely flexible! Regarding taking care of my own dog, I have been hands-on for the entirety of her life. I regularly take her for walks, play dates, I feed her, bathe her, and know what is required to take care of a dog. I have also dog-sat for others in the past

About: I stand out because of my lifelong experience growing up with animals of all kinds, including horses, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I also worked at a pet hotel, where I cared for puppies and anxious dogs who missed their families, so I understand how to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments and needs. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, giving me even more hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule because I’m currently a Student at Penn state University and my classes end at 3:00 pm everyday so anytime after 3 I am usually aviable! I provide care through in-home visits, as I do not host pets in my own home due to my cat not being comfortable around new animals. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment and routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, and any needed exercise. I’m also very attentive to their behavior and comfort, especially for shy or anxious pets, and always make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and currently have two black labs, ages 7 and 14, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with specialized needs. I have experience providing medication, administering inhalers, using doggie diapers, and helping older dogs stay comfortable and maintain their routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I strive to give every pet the same care and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a student at Penn State University pursuing degrees in Accounting and Finance while completing my Master’s in Accounting and studying for the CPA exam. Pet owners can count on me to be responsible, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently a student studying for the CPA exam, but have lots of flexibility, especially during the standard work day. I also have weekend availability though it is more limited. I currently only care for pets at my clients’ homes. The type of care provided is dependent on each owner and the instructions they provide to best care for their pets.

About: I've had 2 dogs, and I had a wonderful list of clients in Vermont. They were friends or became friends. Your dog is my love. I am retired. My daily schedule is fairly flexible right now except for a morning class at the Y. This is my only part-time job. I follow all of your expectations, and I will spend a lot of time cuddling and playing. I also talk a lot to your pets!

About: I have always owned a dog and absolutely love caring and playing with them. I'm usually available at any time during the day to stop by and feed them, let them out and take them for a walk when needed. I am available most days & weekends if I have notice. I take care of small medium and large puppies as well as any age. It doesn't matter to me. I will make sure your pet is taken care of! If you have any questions, you can email me or request my phone number for easier communication. I pay very close attention to details and the ability of meet physical demands. Safety is always paid close attention as well. Thanks a bunch and let me know! bye I work from home so whenever you need me for a walk or feeding or just to let your baby out, I can make it work! Great with pets that are crate trained, have special diets or need any kind of medicine. Used to work at a vet clinic so I'm well prepared!

About: I’ve been caring for cats for years, including my own cat, Spot. Through daily care, I’ve learned to understand feline behavior, respect each cat’s unique personality, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering oral medications when needed, and making sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I’ll do my best to accommodate your cat’s routine and your scheduling needs. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, respectful environment, carefully follow your care instructions, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: Growing up with dogs all my life along with my animal science major I am well versed in medication routines, early morning to late night potty breaks, special dietary needs to the ones who have been loved past their youth and need a little extra care. I’ve been bit, scratched, slobbered and thrown up on so I can handle anything your pets have to offer. I’m working part time at a restaurant however I am more than willing to make time during off days for your fur-babies, walks and regular exercise, quick check ins and long stays I will make time to do. Pets are watched closely, mostly nearly medication administration and meal time. If desired I can feed at specific times and can adapt a medication schedule periodically for any and all fur babies.

“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pennsylvania Furnace on Rover is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 307 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pennsylvania Furnace. 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.

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 Pennsylvania Furnace 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 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 .

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.

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 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.
