“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”

“Victoria was fantastic in taking care of my kitty over the long weekend. She followed all of our procedures for feeding and checking on our cat. She also stayed long to play with the cat and make sure she was doing okay as my cat was feeling a bit under the weather. Victoria sent numerous photos daily and was very communicative. Would absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking if Victoria is good with that!”

“So grateful I was able to book Beth when last minute travel plans popped up. She was wonderful coming to do drop in visits for my kitties over a very hot and holiday weekend. It really eased my anxiety of being away from them knowing that Beth was checking in on them and giving them some attention! She sent great updates, made sure they had food fresh water and clean boxes and spent time playing with them sending pictures that really made my day! My cats must have loved her as all 3 came out to see her each visit and two of them can be shy - but not this time! Thank you Beth! Will book again (hopefully more in advance) when I am next away:)”

“Hanna was so kind and understanding with my girl Sadie! Sadie can be very shy and reluctant with new people and Hanna made sure to respect that and give her the space she needed, while still taking care of her other needs! She also graciously accommodated a last minute change I had to make to my booking. Hanna is great and I’ll def book with her again in the future!”

About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.

“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”

About: I have been an animal lover since I was young child. I even save bugs stuck inside! I have lifelong experience providing care to all sorts of pets including rodents, dogs and cats, both inside and outside. I have very strong beliefs about taking care of animals. I feel we are blessed to have animals in our lives and should treat them with love and dignity. I highly value kindness and compassion towards humans and animals alike. I am a very patient and loving person. I enjoy spreading that love and patience to all animals. I have owned 2 dogs, both of which with severe anxiety and leash reactivity. I met with a dog trainer and learned specific ways to help dogs dealing with those. I love to be outside and walk, especially with a dog. Exercise is so important to animals. I would adore getting to know your pets! I will give them all the snuggles they deserve! During the summer, I am available almost all of the time, even on the weekends. I am a teacher so, once school starts back in the fall, I will still be an active pet-care giver, but unfortunately my schedule will change. I am not able, at this time, to care for pets at my own home. I am MORE than happy to come to your home, walk your dog, and feed and give water to your pets.

About: I've been a pet owner for 30 plus years, to include cats and dogs. I have also done pet sitting many times for families in and around Camp Hill, PA. I am currently a proud momma of three amazing furry friends: a 14 year old cat, a 9 year old catahoula leopard doggies, and a very energetic 2 1/2 year old mini golden doodle. All of these animals are rescues. I am currently working a job that ends at 3:30 each week day, and am very flexible with my availability of time over the weekends. I am up very early each morning to let my two dogs out in our backyard, which is fenced in. I also administer medication to our cat at that time, along with feeding all of my pets. All of our pets have free range of our house, but our youngest dog can be crated at times when necessary. I also love taking both of our dogs for walks every night.

About: Hello my name is Thayer and I my whole life is about dogs! I currently own two puppies, Sippy is a mixed breed husky, the baby of the bunch is Cheech and she is a mixed lab. I have an associates in Veterinary Science, I am working on my bachelors in Criminal Justice, before going to to obtain my Masters in Veterinary Forensics. All of these are to help me in my future career as a humane officer. Humane Officers’ primary purpose is to investigate allegations of animal abuse and ensure pets are well cared for and protected. I want to spend my life helping dogs feel safe and well cared for even when their owners are away. I have worked at various dog boarding/daycare facilities in the area, alongside multiple dog/cat rescues, and had the amazing opportunity to work for the ASPCA at their headquarters’ clinic. Through these experiences I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Some medical issues I’ve dealt with were seizures, diabetes, blindness, deafness, blind/deaf, heat sensitivity, the elderly pups, couple hour old puppies, and the mamas to the pups. I also have lots of experience with dogs with other behaviors such as, fear aggression, reactivity, dog aggression, people (stranger) aggression, men aggression, handling issues, and much more. No dog is ever too difficult to handle and you should be able to go on that vacation not feeling stressed about your pup. I want to help your pup feel right at home when you’re gone or help them get their energy out on a walk. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!!! I am currently going to school full time and working on the weekends. I am off Sundays and am home everyday no later than 2pm. I am trying to save money for college. Dog Boarding: 1 mile walk daily, daily fetch and/or tug game, daily bedtime kong, stays longer than 4 days get a free bath and nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. House Sitting: 2-3 daily walks, daily fetch and/or tug game, scooping yard after each potty, cleaning your dog bowls inbetween meals, and stays longer than 4 days get a free nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. Doggy Daycare: I like to start each day with a mile walk all together. Then one on one playtime with my pup(s), if wanted. If you want your pup to have doggy playtime, they will have “cool down” times throughout the day. If a repeat client I offer a free bath every 3rd completed daycare day and free nail clipping/dremmel once a month (as needed), if dog allows. Dog Walking: I provide treats and will reward the dog with a treat when not pulling, so we can walk more safely and efficiently. If I notice the dog’s leash is connected to a collar or harness that is too loose, I may ask if I may tighten it. I do not feel comfortable walking dogs with items that they can easily slip, and may decline an offer, if one is not willing to tighten it. I want all the dogs I walk to be completely safe and not be able to slip out and run. Rates do not go up if dog pulls, is reactive, or dog/ stranger aggressive.

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own while respecting their routine and the comfort of staying in their own home. I have experience working at a dog daycare, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, as well as recognizing their individual needs and behaviors. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my schedule. I work around my commitments to provide dependable care and make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I do my best to accommodate each family’s needs. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to keep pets on their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable. I keep your home clean and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

Marlaina was terrific with our 2 cats. She is both professional and also caring with them while understanding their different personalities.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
