About: Hello! I'm Leigh Ann, and I would love to be your pet sitter. I am reliable and attentive with your furry family members. I genuinely enjoy keeping pets comfortable in their own homes while you're away. I understand it is important to keep a pets routine, and I want to do what's best for the pet. I make it my priority to provide consistent care and a stess-free environment. I have about 7 years of pet/house sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. This has included, but not limited to, feeding, walking, administering basic medications and plenty of affection and playtime. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, or more relaxed and shy, I will adapt to their own personality and needs. My own 2 dogs have their own distinct personalities. My male is playful and outgoing, meanwhile my female is more of a clingy needs in you personal space shy kind. I love them both. When house sitting, I treat your home with the the same respect I would my own. I keep spaces clean, secure and organized. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in the mail, pick up any packages, and keep everything running smoothly while you're away. In previous years I have even helped owners with their house when our area experienced prolonged power outages. While you are away, you can expect regular updates, photos and quick communication so you always know your pets are happy and safe. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I will help with any overnights that need taken care of. I have recently been working from home, so anytime you need someone I can be your go to person. I can't wait to help and meet your little furry family members! I'm currently working part time from home. My laptop and I are willing to help out you and your family any day of the week with a good notice. I can care for your pet anytime throughout the day as well. I will follow any current routine your pets have to give them the best care! I will feed, clean up their area, bath them, play with them or just simple walks. At your home is the best option to give your pet adequate care.
“Great sitter — flexible, dependable, and wonderful with Dennis. She helped with a walk yesterday and stayed extra today when I was late. Dennis loved her. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again.”
“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”
About: I am a former Veterinary Technician living and working in the State College area, available for part-time pet sitting. I have 8 years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine, the last 4 in specialty/emergency medicine. I have a life-time of experience with animals of my own, as well as years of pet sitting on and off. I love animals of all shapes and sizes with experience mostly with cats and dogs (some exotic experience). I am comfortable giving medications and caring for special needs pets. I have a fairly flexible work schedule that allows me to focus on this business more. If you have any questions about my availability, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently working part time from home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and am able to accommodate caring for clients’ pets as well as my own fur babies at home. I try to keep the environment and routine as close to normal as possible to avoid stress, taking a little time to get to know each pet and their personalities.
“Emerson was amazing! She took such good care of our pets while we were away. She even came for extra visits to make sure they were adjusting to us being away. She went above and beyond! Our dogs and cat loved being around her. I could not recommend her more!”
“Samantha is fabulous she takes such great care of our dogs. We have used her previously and went right back to her when the need arose again. I would not hesitate to book with her. She keeps you informed and send awesome pictures. My pups just love her visits.”
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!
“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”
About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.
“Liv was amazing. My boy is weird with new people and she was excellent about meeting him! She even made a point to play fetch with him and ensure he was eating while I was away. 10/10 recommend her!!! She will absolutely be my first call next time I go away!”

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 Port Matilda 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.

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.
