“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Victoria! This was the first I left me cats for an extended period (16 days) and the first I used Rover. Victoria was incredible to deal with and took great care of my 2 cats. Each day she spent time playing, feeding and cleaning up after them and also sent me 8-10 pics each day! Knowing she was caring foe my girls allowed be to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. I am so thankful I found her!”
“Olivia was an amazing sitter. She took time to introduce herself to Sophie, our Jack Russell. All of the directions we had on our list were followed to a “T”. Sophie warmed up to Olivia and played, too. I would highly recommend Olivia -she is punctual and sent photos and updates with each drop in. All in all she did a great job.”
“Megan was great with Lennox during drop-ins while I was away from home for a full day. She let him out, sat with him inside and on the back deck, gave him treats and kept him well-fed and happy. Her definitely seemed to have had a joyful day and Megan was reliable, courteous and very responsive with communications before, during and after her visits. I plan to utilize her expertise again soon.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Brittany! She was kind, trustworthy, and took such great care of our dog, Macie. Our puppy absolutely loved her, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Kendra was incredible with our puppy! We just moved here and needed help with him during a particularly busy week. She was so patient with him and gave him some much needed company. We’ll definitely be asking her for help again in the future :)”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve.

I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
“I'm usually very anxious when I leave my cats overnight but I was finally at ease during my trip knowing that Joanne was looking in on them. She was so kind and easy to work with. I knew she was giving them the love they deserved while I was away and I'm so grateful for her! I will definitely be booking her again :)”

“We knew within minutes of meeting Alannah that she was going to be a good fit to watch our pups. She had genuine interactions and care for both of them. You can tell she’s an animal lover! She was very prompt with her check ins and always gave us detailed info about what was going on. We’ll absolutely book with her in the future!”
“Kasey took care of our old blind beagle, for several days and was even to help in an emergency. She is so very sweet and so reassuring and confident in taking care of our pup. Thank you Kasey for all you do! ☺️”
About: Your pup will be treated like family! I’m a dependable dog owner with experience in walks, feeding, playtime, potty routines, and basic care. I’m patient, loving, and focused on keeping every dog happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a fenced yard for supervised play and a friendly dog for companionship. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and crate instructions carefully
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly believes that coming home to your pets is one of the best parts of the day. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and sizes. Growing up, I had a dog who was blind and experienced seizures, so I became comfortable providing extra care, following a routine, and administering medication when needed. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Goose, a 4-year-old Great Pyrenees mix, and Stella, a black Lab puppy. They’ve given me plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and larger dogs! During visits and walks, I’m happy to tailor activities to your pet’s personality and needs. We can take a relaxing walk around the neighborhood, play fetch in the yard, get some extra exercise, or simply spend time together getting pets and attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I do work full-time, but I make an effort to be flexible and available for the pets in my care. Depending on your needs, I can stop by before and/or after work, and I have additional availability on weekends. My goal is to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need while you’re away. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own—with patience, love, and plenty of belly rubs! I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure everyone is comfortable. I am currently working full time, but am looking to take care of pups any time I am free! Available before and after work, and on the weekends I have a fenced in yard and 2 dog friendly dogs. Also a dog friendly cat. They always have access to food and water and will be well loved
About: I’ve checked in on multiple pets before. Friends and my own family and relatives message me to come in, walk their dog, feed and give them water, and keep them company for a while! I love pets so when I found out I could get paid for it, I was astounded! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with tender love and care. I am a working college student at the moment, so I would be working part time. I would make time for my clients though, especially how I often have time in between my classes and I also have time after school during the week and on weekends. While I currently do not offer pets in my home, I will respect your home by keeping it clean and untouched by the time I leave. Now I will keep your pet company if that is the service you’d like and by doing so, we might empty their toys on the ground and play for a bit. That being said, it will be cleaned up and so will messes made by their food or water before I leave the house as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scranton
Veronica was so sweet, attentive, and caring with all three of our animals. Our cat is diabetic, and Veronica made sure she received her insulin on time every morning, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog also had a few accidents while we were gone, and Veronica was very communicative and made sure everything was cleaned up before we returned. We truly appreciate how well Veronica cared for our pets and kept us updated throughout our trip. We will absolutely be booking her again!
This was my first time ever hiring someone on Rover to feed and take care of my cat while we were away on vacation. Victoria followed instructions to the T. She was punctual and did a wonderful job caring for my cat. Thank you so much Victoria! I will use your services again on my next vacation!
We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Brittany! She was kind, trustworthy, and took such great care of our dog, Macie. Our puppy absolutely loved her, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
Lynn was truly the best! She gave us such peace of mind caring for our frenchie while we were out of town. She provided detailed information about each visit and amazing picture updates. She really loved our pup like her own and we will 100% book with Lynn again in the future.
Mary is an exceptional pet sitter for my puppy. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares about his well-being. She takes the time to engage him in play and keeps him happy and active, which gives me great peace of mind. Mary follows all instructions perfectly and is consistently reliable and communicative. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Summer is great! We love having her as our rover. She goes above and beyond for us every visit. She’s very communicative during visits with pictures and updates.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Scranton on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 377 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Scranton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Scranton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scranton. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
