“Zoe did an excellent job caring for Rena while I was on vacation. She exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be using her again! She stayed in touch with me and kept me informed. She proved to be more than responsible and trustworthy in my home.”
“Tricia was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She sent us many pictures and updates which we appreciated but most of all the dogs looked happy and relaxed. She also made homemade dog treats, which are still in the fridge. We can’t say enough, good things about her and look forward to having her in the future.”
“Bailee took exceptional of our two pugs and cat while we were on vacation. She provided extra special care by providing daily medications as well. Highly recommend and plan to have Bailee take care of our animals again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around my availability and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.
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.
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.
“Vicki was great! She watched our 2 golden retrievers for a weekend - a stormy weekend. She was very communicative and shared lots of pictures. We felt very aware of what was going on. She also left the house clean and in order, which we really appreciate coming home from a weekend away! Vicki is top-notch. Highly recommend.”
“Adriana was awesome with Kodi . She sent me lots of photos and made me feel really comfortable about leaving my fur baby. I would highly recommend her as well as plan to hire her in the future.”
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 feel very comfortable around animals. I will Also give cuddles. Giving them a moment of joy gives me happiness. I Love the tag wagging I do not have a full time job and I thought this would be a wonderful experience until I figure out what’s next. Life is good. I have 2 indoor Siamese cats that are actual sisters. Before that we had two dogs. They lived until Their teen years. It was devastating when we lost them.
“Phoebe sat our 11 yo husky in our home for the weekend. She did an outstanding job caring for her and our house. When we need a sitter in the future, Phoebe will be our first call.”
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 have owned both cats and dogs my entire life and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and even horses. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities and take pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and feel confident providing them with the attention and care they need. I am currently a student, but I have a flexible schedule and am available most mornings, mid-days, and evenings. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and can work pet care into my daily routine while making sure each pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I’m comfortable staying in your home with your pets or providing drop-in visits throughout the day. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, while also respecting your home and your instructions.
“Sarah was wonderful with our Groot. She did everything we asked and was fantastic in sending us updates and photos. She was excellent at communicating throughout the process. Upon meeting her, she displayed a demeanor that gave us great comfort that our girl would be well cared for. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to her spending more time with our pup in the future.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Gap
Tricia was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She sent us many pictures and updates which we appreciated but most of all the dogs looked happy and relaxed. She also made homemade dog treats, which are still in the fridge. We can’t say enough, good things about her and look forward to having her in the future.
Anna was wonderful with our pup! Our family dog sitter became ill and Anna accepted our last minute request. She stayed with our dog for five overnights and provided him with the love and attention that we give. We highly recommend Anna’s services, and will request her again in the future! Thanks, Anna!
This is our 2nd time having Maxwell watch our fur babies and I couldn’t be happier. He made it easy to fly out of state and not worry or wondering if the dogs were ok, with his daily photos and constant updates and communication we felt such at ease. I would highly recommend Maxwell to everyone and still plan on booking with him in the future.

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.
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 Pleasant Gap 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 Pleasant Gap 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pleasant Gap 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 , 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.
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.
