“Katie was amazing! We have 2 large dogs, and she was willing to work with our recently adopted mastiff who is sweet but still struggling with some anxiety. Both dogs immediately loved her, and they had a great time while we were away. It wasn’t easy for sure, but she was patient and kind and kept in constant communication-adjusting to support Odin as needed! We are so lucky to have found her!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have classes Monday through Friday, generally between 10 AM and 1 PM, although my class times vary by day. I’m available to help before and after my classes, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need! Because I have two cats at home who don’t get along with dogs, I don’t offer pet care in my apartment. Instead, I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Irene was awesome. We had an initial meeting to review all details, and she sent updates and pictures of our furbabies. We will be reaching out to Irene again and highly recommend her services.”
“Christa was a great fit for house sitting our pup on our quick trip away. She was responsive, gave great updates, and left our house in great condition! Peppernut was clearly happy to hang with Christa for the day. Would happily rebook again!”
About: The go-to pet sitter of my friends and family since 2016 Experience caring for both dogs and cats Trained in dog walking safety best practices with Centre County PAWS I'm able to decide my own work schedule, so I'm effectively available for pet care 24/7. I look forward to helping out whenever best suits you and your pet! To ensure your pets feel safe and cared for, I will work with you to keep their routines and environment as familiar as possible. For those interested in boarding, my apartment complex is in a quiet neighborhood with a dog park and lots of beautiful, safe places to dog walk. I keep a dog- and cat-safe home as well.
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: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or the occasional bunny, I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need a reliable sitter. I have hands-on experience walking energetic pups, keeping older dogs comfy and calm, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I’m patient, nurturing, and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs slow walks, playful fetch sessions, or just a cuddle buddy, I’m here for it all. I’m also super dependable, quick to communicate, and will always treat your pets (and your home!) with respect and care. I’m currently home from college and have tons of free time, which means your pet will get my full attention! My schedule is super flexible, whether you need morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet. Since I’m not juggling classes or a packed routine right now, I can be reliable, consistent, and fully present for your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I always follow your specific instructions closely, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, and I keep everything clean and calm for your cat’s comfort. I’m extra mindful about doors, windows, and anything that could be a hazard, especially for curious pets! I also believe communication is key to building trust, so I’ll happily send photo updates and check-ins to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I always aim to leave your home just as I found it.
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: Growing up, I've helped train and take care of 2 cats, 5 dogs, and at one point 9 puppies. I can speak Spanish at a conversational level. And I probably will enjoy playing and going on walks just as much as the pet will. I am currently in college as a full time student. This year I have a large break Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays in the middle of my day. When at home I help with feeding, training, and teaching my families 4 dogs In my home I am ok with pets sleeping in the same bed with me and I try to train them without loud commands, but rather visual and quick quite commands. I can allow as much or as little as someone wants as far as rules with a pet.
“Derya is the kind of dog sitter. You can leave your dogs and house with and not worry for even a second. I recently booked him as my dog sitter for the very first time and I had never left my dog before. Not only were they happy but my home and Lan were in perfect condition when I returned! Nice and tidy, and just like I left it. He sent videos every single day some of them funny and others of my pups. Just do their normal thing. He was immediately responsive anytime I messaged him, and I can’t recommend him enough to other pet owners. Thank you, Daria for taking amazing care of Winnie and Loaf!”

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 Pine Grove Mills 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 Pine Grove Mills 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 Pine Grove Mills 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.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
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 .
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.
