“This was our first time using Rover and Olivia. She communicated with me to assure me all was well and sent pics. Pups did well with her. We have booked her for our vacation in a couple of months for the house sitting service. We are blessed to have found Olivia!”
About: I’ve worked in Animal care for almost 5 years now including dog daycare and vet clinics. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments. I also have plenty of experience with Cats (I have the scars to prove it). I treat every animal as if they were my own because I wish they were🤍 I am a full time student and currently work at a Dog Daycare in Florence. Between work and class I have ample time to care for your pet. - - - - - - - - - - I do not offer in home boarding- - - - - - - - -
About: I have always been around and taken care of animals ever since I was young. I volunteer twice a week at a farm. I have nursed a crow, a chimminey swift, puppies, and even senior dogs. I have a completers certification for agriculture and animal science. I work part time so I have a very open schedule. Tuesday and Thursday mornings I work at a horse farm. Every other day I’m with my own Dogs. I would prefer caring for your pet at your house. My dogs aren’t accustomed to other animals and I’d rather not take your pet out of their place of comfort.
About: I have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. We have a few ESA pets in our home for my disabled son. I am very familiar with training, walking, feeding, giving medications, and senior care. I have been a dog nanny for the last 3 years and ready to grow. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of morning and afternoon time to give. I am available on weekends and holidays for walks, house sitting & pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard and a bunch of toys and love to give. I love to play and work out with the pets if they like too. Water play in summer too. I am available to watch your pets at you home as well as do drop ins throughout the day.
“Tawny was great! I have 4 dogs, ranging in sizes, and they are very high maintenance. she did great with all of them! Followed instructions perfectly, had great communication, and made me feel so comfortable with my pups under her care. I will be requesting her every time I need a sitter for my doggos!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. Always been a different kind of love. I still have my childhood cat and got my dog 5 years ago. They are my everything.

We live in order around here! I would do the same for in you’re home! You and your animals needs will be met.
About: I love going on nature trails or local paths as I exercise. Your pup will enjoy brisk walks with me and not feel cooped up. I currently virtual teach with multiple breaks throughout the day, so I have plenty of time to cater your fur baby and give attention to him or her. I have a small 2 bedroom home and patio door leading to my fenced in backyard. I am able to play and monitor your pup.
About: I have loved and cared for all animals since I was younger. As a child I was always asked to care for the pets of family members and friends. I work on a 24/72 schedule. I am also in class once-twice a week. Looking for an entertaining and rewarding way to spend my free time! Willing and able to take on any task given. I am a quick learner and will do all that is asked plus more. Will accommodate to the best of my abilities.
“Emily was a real help. We got stuck in another state for 2 additional days and needed someone to get by. She was responsive and polite. Our cats responded well to her. Will definitely be in touch for additional needs”
About: As a professional dog groomer at a local grooming shop, I work with dogs every day of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. That experience has taught me how to read body language, handle nervous or energetic dogs safely, and provide calm, confident care. Pet care is built into my daily routine. I spend my mornings working as a professional dog groomer at a local grooming shop, so caring for dogs is what I do every day. Before work, after work, and throughout the evening, I schedule my pet sitting visits around each pet’s needs to make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, potty breaks, and love they deserve. For house sitting, your pet’s routine becomes my priority. I do my best to keep their schedule as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, walks, medications, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care every day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I know that staying in their own home helps many pets feel more comfortable while their family is away, so I do everything I can to keep their environment calm and familiar. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 132 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
