“She arrives with a smile and on time. She walks our 77lb pup with no problem. Our dogs truly do like het and warmed up to her quickly. We are pleased with Barb. She will be used going forward as both a dog walker and dog sitter. - Jenn”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.
“Second time booking with Kira and couldn't be happier! She has great communication, is friendly and professional. I loved getting cute pictures with every walk and her ability to administer my dogs medication via syringe. Plan to use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up in many households of pets - right now I have a great dane (Luna)! Past experience with puppies to older dogs including chihuahuas, doodles, labs, pitbulls, bulldogs, german shepherds, boxers, retrievers, great danes, etc! I’ve done any care including feeding, bathing, potty breaks, cleaning, walking, etc. Between May-August my schedule revolves around my part time job, but I am very flexible. During the school year, August-May, I am a full time nursing student, but still available most evenings and weekends! I will care for your pets in your home just as I would want a sitter to do in my own! Your pet’s comfort and keeping your space in good shape is my top priority.
“Amanda was very prompt with her arrival and messages! This was my first rover experience and it was such a delight thanks to Amanda’s energy and attentiveness. You can tell she loves what she does and cares deeply about the pets she handles.”
About: Hi! I am a college student looking for opportunities to earn some money while doing what I enjoy most-hanging out with animals! I have sat for family, friends, and anyone else who needs help, and would love to be trusted enough to walk/sit/watch your dog. Being a student creates lots of flexibility, specifically mid afternoon to night! I also can do early mornings and weekends if they are planned ahead. Respecting animals space and reading body language is incredibly important when going into their home and walking them! Understanding what they are comfortable with and creating a safe environment is top priority. Lots of treats are required lol!
About: I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, lizards, and even fish for neighbors, family, friends, and acquaintances for over 15 years! I’m excited to offer my services to even more families in my community to lend a hand and rub some bellies! I currently make my own schedule with my work kiddos that I service, allowing lots of time to pop in and check on your pets throughout the day! I’m also flexible to visit early mornings, late evenings, or even spend the night. I always go the extra mile to give your pets love and attention while you’re away! Whether that’s extra long walks, cuddles for hours in the evenings, or playing outside till the sun goes down, I want your pet to feel safe while their favorite human is away.
About: Hi, I'm Bob – a retired non-profit professional and lifelong animal lover based in Ephrata, PA. With over 50 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting services right in your neighborhood. Whether it's daily walking the dog, feeding or long-term caring, I am anxious to care for your pet. As someone who now has the time and flexibility to focus on what I love, I treat every pet like family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments – from energetic puppies to senior companions – and I'm happy to provide references from longtime pet owners who trust me with their beloved animals. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a retired individual with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. Without the demands of a 9-to-5 job, I have the time and energy to provide dedicated, one-on-one care to pets in a calm and comfortable environment. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or long walks, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs — and I truly enjoy the companionship they bring into my life. For me, this isn’t just a side job — it’s a meaningful way to stay active, helpful, and connected to the community. Some pets are happiest in their own surroundings — and I’m happy to come to them. I offer drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. While you're away, I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent and provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.
“Norene made my first experience with rover so easy. She responded in a timely manner and had no issues with taking my dog for a walk even in a mist. If I ever need help again I will make sure she’s the one”
About: I am a certified vet assistant and have cared for 10+ animals in adult lifetime including friends and family. I’ve cared for a dog with severe epilepsy, and a dog with bone cancer. I also care for two senior dogs now along with training a new puppy. I walk my young lab puppy everyday for at least a mile and also play ball in the yard. Also my two senior dogs get very short walks to keep them active. I am a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule to walk dogs and care for them. I’m experienced in giving medicine and know how important sticking to a schedule is.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life, some cats, mostly dogs. I especially enjoy walking dogs! I volunteer at an alpaca farm for fun, and I have dog kennel and veterinary receptionist experience. I pet sit for family members who have both dogs and cats. I take animal care seriously and will do my best to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I work a part-time job Monday through Friday. My afternoons, evenings and weekends are flexible, especially over the summer. I walk my own dog twice a day. My dog is rather anti-social, so I prefer not to bring pets to my home. I can offer home visits, 2-3 visits per day, depending on your pet's needs. As I mentioned earlier, I love walking dogs and am happy to offer that service to you!
“Cassidy is awesome! I could tell from the daily photos and reports that my dog was very happy and comfortable with her. It gave me peace of mind while I was a while to know my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child, but professionally for almost 8 years now! I have experience with all sorts of animals, most commonly dogs though! I have extensive experience with senior pets, puppies, and disabled pets. I am always available and dedicate my time to making the experience great for your pet while you're away. I currently work from home and make my own hours, so my availability is completely open! I can work around whatever hours you need and I am available for long periods of time as well. My home is very animal friendly! I do have crates available for pets that need to be crated, however since I am home almost all of the time- it's rarely necessary! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a very big plot of land in the back that we can walk around and play on!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,735 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Schaefferstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Schaefferstown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Schaefferstown.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Schaefferstown. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
