About: I grew up with a dog and cared for her for 12 years, from puppyhood through her senior years, so I know dogs well. I have also looked after many of my neighbors’ dogs, big and small, one at a time or several together. I’m experienced with all kinds of behaviors, including anxiety, pulling on the leash, high energy, and stubbornness. I stay calm and patient, and I treat every dog like my own. During the week, I’m available before 8am for morning walks and feedings, and again from 6pm on for evenings and overnights. I work a standard day job until 5, so midday weekday availability is limited. On weekends, I’m free all day on both Saturday and Sunday, so I can handle full-day sitting, multiple visits, or longer walks. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and keep their usual routine. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any house rules, and I’m careful about safety: doors and gates stay closed, dogs stay leashed outside, and I never leave a pet unsupervised in a risky situation. I keep a key secure and respect the owner’s home and privacy. I send photo updates throughout the stay so owners know how their pet is doing, and I’m reachable if anything comes up. If a pet seems unwell, I contact the owner right away.
“Angela was so great with our puppy Boone!! He had so much fun playing with her, and she kept us updated with so many pictures which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend!!”
About: I have had my 15-year-old Yorkie since she was a puppy and have experience with high maintenance dog needs due to a few diagnoses of hers in her senior years. Super reliable, detail-oriented, and understanding of specified rules i.e. medication needed, specific feedings, etc. Would love to help you feel at ease with your dog in my care! My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available Monday-Friday and am the perfect person if you're needing your pet to be checked in on while at work or on a trip! I will treat both your home and pet as if they are my own. I understand it can be nerve-wracking to have a stranger enter your space, so I can make sure to send any updates needed for peace of mind. I also am a huge rule follower and have a high maintenance pet of my own, so I'm very open to specific instructions and understand most pets do best with routine.
About: We have been watching dogs throughout college and grad school at our house by the shore for 7 years. We wanted to continue watching our furry friends in the city! My boyfriend’s family bred Golden Retrievers growing up, and we are both very responsible and communicative with our stays. We have a 4 month old kitten who LOVES animals of all sizes! My boyfriend and I are both teachers! We have the exact same schedule and are home every day at 3pm as well as off weekends and holidays! We take our dogs on walks at the local park! If your dog isn’t good with others, no problem! We have a very quiet street and a lot of places to make sure they get the exercise they need!
“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Mochi when we were away! The detailed updates and photos were extremely helpful! We are beyond relieved at how well Mochi took to you. Thank you for giving her so much love! We look forward to having you watch her again in the future ❤️”
“Brianna was very flexible and communicative :-) My dog enjoyed having them to hang out with and they always provided updates on how my pets were doing. Would definitely book with Brianna again!”
About: Caregiving is one of my favorite things to do. I try to value and nurture all relationships and interactions I have; including those with animals. On a daily basis, you could find me like a balance beam. Actively utilizing both a quick to move mentality and a one that likes to observe details. I’m an involved and hands on person. No matter the environment I’d like to make everyday enriching. Give me a challenge and you’ll have a player.
“This is our 2nd time using Pamela, our doodle loves her and so do we! Looking forward to our next visit from Pamela on our next trip to Orlando.”
About: I currently own four dogs in my family, a senior older dog and two puppies included, I love all types and breeds! I have a tattoo of one of my dog’s paw prints! love long walks as well, I currently get over 30k steps a day, so dog walking seems like the perfect way to save for law school. I’m currently a student at Drexel! , I’m free most of the time unless holidays or breaks where I go back home to Indiana I like to keep things tidy and I’m very good with time management, I’m good with puppies and senior dogs! I love walking and playing with animals
About: Hi! I've always loved being around animals, and spending time with them is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet loves adventures, naps, or lots of attention, I'm happy to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and a French Bulldog, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I've also cared for dogs of all sizes, from little dogs to large breeds, as well as senior dogs, puppies, and cats. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel happy and comfortable in their own routine. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. Whether I'm taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a visit, or staying overnight, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'll follow your pet's routine, give them plenty of attention and affection, and make sure they get the care they need. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work full time at Penn Presbyterian, and my schedule is a definite 9-5. I would be free outside of this hours and am a good fit for people who may work longer hours and weekends. I will care for your pet/dog as if their owners are with them! I am flexible and will help in any way to help the pet stay comfortable in their home
About: I have tried to help dogs my whole life! I have been around dogs since I was 5, volunteered at shelters, and worked with all kinds of dogs while working at the Petsmart Hotel. If there is an opportunity to work with a dog, I’m taking it. I am a 4th year medical student at Temple and have lived in Philadelphia for the past 3 and a half years. My hours are super flexible since all my classes and interviews are completely remote! Whenever you need my help, I’ll be there! Whatever schedule works for you, works for me. Dogs are the priority whether it is in my home or yours! I try to check in with them, listen to them, and follow their routine. If in someone else’s home I do all of this while respecting the home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Schuylkill
Jill has been helping us with our now 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Briggs, for about 2 months. Jill has been so flexible in scheduling, even with our very last minute requests. She’s asked great questions related to Briggs, his training, and his routine, and so I feel comfort knowing his day-to-day won’t change even when we aren’t there. Briggs is in such good hands with Jill. We would recommend her to any dog owner, even those with crazy puppies!! 5 star review!
Asha has been helping us the past two months with our 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Briggs. He can be quite the handful, very much in the puppy phase with teething and high energy, but she’s been so patient with him, also able to help us in being consistent with training during her visits. Sometimes our requests are last minute, but she’s very flexible in moving her schedule around to make it work. We trust her so much and are so appreciative of the support she’s given us already! 5 star review!
Kelsey has taken care of both our dog and chinchilla four times now. She consistently updates me and my partner with photos and descriptions of how they're feeling. She recognizes their needs and stress factors and communicates with us appropriately. Our dog is hesitant with most people, but loves Kelsey!
Faith is an excellent cat sitter & we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. From the photos & her updates I could see my cats felt comfortable with her and that she was taking great care of them! She followed our instructions & visited with them during the scheduled times.
Sally has been checking in on our cat many times now, and we always have peace of mind with Sally’s visits. She takes care of all the essentials and specific asks, is very reliable, and always sends pics of snuggles & playtime with our very social cat. Would definitely recommend Sally!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Schuylkill is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,560 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Schuylkill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Schuylkill. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
