“Genevieve did a great job taking care of my cat! Not only does she follow all of the instructions, she also takes great photos and notes for the check in reports. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had the joy of being the on-call sitter for a family for over 10 years, taking care of their special needs cats, feral cats, and senior dog. I have walked the dogs of my senior neighbors for years before owning my own sweet black lab. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, senior or puppy. I’m currently working part time after moving to Minnesota from Illinois. I am available in the mornings to early afternoon through the week and weekend. I am a reliable sitter with years of experience in emergency medicine, I do not practice in the field anymore but I am someone you can trust and count on. I can easily crate your dog if provided!
“Christa was an amazing cat sitter! Our cat doesn't always like new people, but warmed up to Christa right away. We got daily updates (and pictures!) on how our cat was doing.”
About: I am a caretaker of my 3 dogs with my family. Individually, I have been trusted by friends and families with dog sitting in their homes. I am looking for part-time work while I am at Penn State in the State College area. I am happy to walk dogs during my daily availability. I am happy to stay at homes over weekend nights. Feel free to message me for specific daily availability! I am happy to clean up after the dogs in your home. I can refill water and food bowls, and I will give treats when appropriate. I love taking my dogs on walks, and I am happy to go on a long walk with your dog. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for pet care.
“As others here are saying, Ruth was *really* great--my somewhat shy, standoffish cat quickly and visibly warmed to her (she had a very gentle, low-key way of introducing herself to him). It was a relief to have her checking in on him. As to logistics: she was extremely quick and precise in answering messages, and very patient and flexible with the multiple times I had to tweak my booking request (because of unforeseen travel changes on my end). The kitchen was cleaner than when I left, and Ruth also went out of the way to bring trash and recycling containers off the street, something I hadn't asked her to do but appreciate. As to keeping this skeptical little cat company: she was very perceptive; I would genuinely trust her if there were an emergency of basically any kind. She put him at ease and got him to eat (something he sometimes is reluctant to do when stressed); she must have been a very reassuring presence. I also appreciate her detailed messages and several photos in which he's rolling on his back looking fairly pleased by things. When I got back this morning he seemed in much better spirits than he normally does after I have to travel. Thank you Ruth!”
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: My whole life surrounds around animals. I’ve had three dogs and two cats growing up. I love to train and get to know puppies! Thank you! I’m on summer break from Penn State University, so my schedule is completely open! I can be anywhere you need as often as you would like! I will make sure to keep along with your pets schedules! I love going for walks and enjoying the outside! Let me know if you need anything specific
About: I’ve cared for many dogs and have owned several pets myself. I’ve had a Siamese cat and a Russian Blue, and I currently have a dachshund. As an animal science student preparing for a career in veterinary medicine, I’m passionate about giving pets loving, reliable, and attentive care. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available to help with weekday or weekend care depending on the service, and I make time for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and attentive environment, and I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes, from shih tzus to golden retrievers, and can also cater to special requirements. Past experiences have included no teeth, joint pain, and diabetes. I am currently a full time student, and would prefer to have visits /walks in the evening. However, under special circumstances, a day visit can be arranged. I will respect the boundaries of the dog, starting off slow and gaining their trust before anything else. I’m no stranger to skittish dogs, and sometimes it just takes a bit of time, but most if not all do warm up.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have spent years caring for dogs. I am comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them company. I always treat every pet like they are my own. Safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities and I am committed to making sure your furry friends feels loved while you’re gone. I am currently a student at Penn State University. I am Tuesday and Thursday anytime and Monday, Wednesday, Friday before 11 am and after 4 pm. I am always going on walks, so would love to take your furry friends with me! I will follow your directions whether that be long walks or just letting your animals out in the yard. Safety is super important to me and I will always make sure to follow your instructions!
About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the past 4 years, both while living in college and while at home. I have experience working with mainly teenage to older dogs, but have some experience working with younger dogs when my family got our first dogs. I am currently in law school here at Penn State and would be available most weekday nights! I can also help on the weekends, but am often traveling for school. With my school work being tiring and often not fun, being able to spend time with dogs, both just hanging out at night and playing in the yard is something I am more than happy to offer! I love dogs and will be very attentive to their needs during my time with them, from any quirky needs they have to keeping on their schedule to make them as comfortable as possible.
“I LOVED having Cindy stay with my do: She was easy knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and took the time for a meet and greet before the scheduled visit. Moreover, my pup loved her from the start, and I felt perfectly at ease leaving my dog with her.”
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: I have been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I had two dogs, a Boxer and a Shih Tzu, and I was responsible for their daily care, including feeding them, taking them outside for potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their overall hygiene. Later, my family got a Cavapoo puppy, and I took an active role in his training and care. I potty trained him to go outside and taught him to communicate when he needed to use the bathroom by standing or sitting near the door. I also taught him basic commands such as sitting and giving his paw. In addition, I worked with him on leash behavior and recall to help ensure he would not run away or bark at other dogs during walks, including situations where his leash became loose. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, responsible, attentive, and consistent when caring for and training dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would be comfortable providing them with the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and needs. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I follow each pet’s routine, provide meals, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
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 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!
About: I grew up with 2 dogs and now I have a 1 year old chocolate lab puppy who just graduated from training. I am very familiar with training strategies as I just went through them including potty training, leash training, etc. I would love to extend love and care to your babies as well! I am a Penn State student who is local to State College. I have a light schedule and even have a puppy of my own so I am taking care of pets all day everyday! I am currently taking a class remotely and am able to spend all day with your pet as I have a pet of my own that I am spending time with!
About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pine Grove Mills
Genevieve is wonderful! She took excellent care of our senior kitty, Wu, who requires medication at a specific time every day. She offered to come over before we left town to meet Wu and to make sure she knew how to administer her meds. While we were away, she always arrived on time and sent us an update with pics after every visit. It is clear that she loves kitties and cares about doing a great job. We so appreciated the way she cared for Wu and our home and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
