“This is my second time booking Jennifer. She treated my cats like her own. She administered medication and made sure they had fresh water and food every day. The communication and Rover cards made me feel so thankful and at ease that my fur babies were being so well cared for! She is wonderful and cares so much for her clients animals!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. One of my earliest memories is begging my parents for a dog until they relented and got me a free puppy from the classifieds in the newspaper (yes, I am that old)! Over my life time, I’ve been privileged to take care of five dogs. They ranged in size from a 10 pound poodle mix to a 150 pound St. Bernard. My current fur babies are a 2 large dogs and two pampered house cats As a pet owner, I know the importance of having reliable and trustworthy sitters to take care of my fur babies when I am out of town. I am that person who writes long and detailed instructions about feeding schedules, medications, and who to call in case of an emergency. Most afternoons, I am available to take your dog(s) for a walk, feed your cat(s), or just check on your house when you are away. I will text or email you updates with photos. I will take care of your fur babies and respect your home as if they were my own.
“This was our first time trying Rover. Melissa came to do the meet&greet and I had such peace of mind. She kept us informed with photos and videos each time she visited our girl Piper. We seriously couldn’t be any happier with how this all went. Huge thank you from our hearts!”
“I was so nervous to leave our dogs while having to go out of town for a weekend. After researching countless options for them while we were gone, I came across Kennedy and her services! I read all the amazing reviews and knew she was the right choice. Kennedy was seamless with her drop in visits and although I told her to reach out if needed, she never did and knew how to handle/keep everything under control without needing any assistance at all. I love the updates and pictures she gives through the app after each visit! Even getting thrown for a bit of a loop after my dog entered her heat cycle in surprise, she dealt with doggy diapers and the fun of that whole scenario without even batting an eye. Thank you, Kennedy, for the wonderful experience and giving us the comfortability to be able to leave our dogs if needed!”

I have four years of professional experience assisting my mom with her pet sitting services. I I have done drop in visits walks and overnight house sitting. I not only have experience with cats and dogs, but I also have experience with puppies, birds, mice and even pigs. I do my best to fit into your pet’s normal routine. Whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’ll make sure they get care when they need it most. If you have specific timing needs, just let me know and we’ll work it out. Pets are our best friends It’s important to know they are I. Good hands when we can’t be there for them.

I look forward to making new pet friends
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages for over a decade. Relatives, friends and acquaintances have relied on me keep their pets safe and happy while they are away. I love animals and am passionate about giving your pet the best care possible. During the summer I am available to pet sit and dog walk anytime, my schedule is very open and flexible. A perfect fit for someone looking for a dog walker during the work day or a dog sitter while you are on vacation. When I pet sit we usually spend a lot of time playing and walking, or sometimes with senior dogs a lot of time just chilling out. I am capable of administering medication to older pups who take medication. It makes me happy to engage in activities my pets love like fetch, playing with toys, or just relaxing in each others company.

About: I've been professionally caring for pets for over four years through my home-based pet sitting business, Yech's Pet Haven. I am also a licensed boarding facility, giving pet parents added peace of mind that their dogs are staying in a safe and compliant environment. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special routines or medications. I have experience safely managing multiple dogs, supervising playtime, and making sure every pet receives the individual attention they deserve. Growing up surrounded by animals, including dogs, horses, and goats, has given me a lifelong understanding of animal behavior and care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels right at home while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Since I run a home-based boarding facility, I am able to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day. I keep my boarding numbers small so each pet receives personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. My schedule is built around making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. As a licensed boarding facility, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and responsible pet care. I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and separate pets during meals, rest time, or whenever needed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and individual preferences, so they feel right at home.
About: I've had dogs my whole like since I was a child. First dog was a beagle, then a Brittany Spaniel, then two Golden Retrievers. I've trained and house broken all my dogs and am very good friends with a dog trainer. At the time my friend was a dog trainer I was exposed to all different breads of dogs. I have plenty of time to walk dogs in the evenings and anytime on the weekends. During the week during day specific times can also be accommodated as well. At the time my dogs had a fenced in yard and crate if needed. Currently dogs can be brought into my apartment and I have various places I can take them to play.
“Matthew was fantastic! He stopped by and took care of our dogs while we were were out of town for a day. He let them out, fed them, and made sure they were happy. He sent great photos and kept us updated the whole time. Super reliable and easy to work with, we’d recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
About: I currently have 2 dogs + 4 cats! I love them and care for them like they are my babies. I always make sure I keep them stimulated and happy to ensure a healthy and loving life. I would love to care for and love your animals like my own! I am working per-diem starting in october. My schedule is changing but if you just reach out i'd be happy to share that with you! I am super flexible and can help you with anything! My dogs are very dog friendly and loving to almost all other dogs. They are very socialized to other dogs and cats. I can walk your dog, let them out, or you can drop them off at my house for daycare or meet me to exchange them as well! If your dog isn't dog friendly I would be happy to keep them separate and comfortable! I have a fence for the dogs to run around and play. I also have ties outs for the dogs as well. We live in a wooded neighborhood on a dirt road that is super quiet!
“Let me start by saying how lucky I was to find Danielle…I found her to be a trusted, caring and highly reliable pet-sitter for my senior dog Alfie . Danielle is highly professional and very skilled with pets…my dog Alfie took to her from the moment he met her—and Alfie is a very good judge of character because she is truly one of the best pet sitters on Rover! Ty so much Danielle for the peace of mind knowing Alfie was in such good hands being cared by you!”

Jennifer is a very kind person and gave individual attention to all four of our cats, including the ones that are less social. She gave daily updates with pictures of our pets each day while we were away. It was an added people of mind knowing she was there taking care of our animals. Would definitely use her services again!
Adam did a wonderful job caring for our dogs when we were away. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and loved. One of our dogs is 19 years old and has special needs, and Adam was very knowledgeable in how to care for her and give her the extra attention she needs. Thank you Adam!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shavertown is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $20 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 October 2026, there are 334 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shavertown. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
