“We are new to town, and first-time users of Rover, but Cassidy did a thorough job at preparing us, and made us feel at ease. She was amazing with our 2 GSPs, and kept us up to date the entire time. We will be using her again. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Matthew was phenomenal! He is extremely attentive and considerate. I felt comfortable with him around my sweet princess Bella. He provided quality feedback and responded quickly. I’ll certainly be using his services again! Thank you so much Matt”
About: I've been pet sitting since i was 13, I am currently 19 with a dog and cat of my own! I've taken care of seniors as-well as puppies. I've potty trained, taught tricks, and have done special care when needed. I love to go on long hikes and bring my dog with me! I go on walks about 3 times a day, as my dog is very active. Feel free to ask me questions! I would love to watch your pup. :) I'm available for pet sitting any day of the week at any times! I can handle seniors aswell as active dogs. I would love to spend time with your pup. I have one super friendly dog that loves to play and gets along great with cats. I go on 3 walks a day with my pup. She is very active and friendly. Your pup will be able to relax and also get the outside time they need. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for running around and playing.
“Alyssa took amazing care of Gus! He really enjoyed seeing her every day, getting lots of play time and snuggles! She did everything perfectly and I will definitely rebook with her in the future! Great communication and photos!”
About: I have owned dogs for many years and have experience with small and large dogs- weights ranging from 10lbs to 120lbs. I personally love big dogs. I also have experience volunteering at an all-breed rescue which includes feeding, walking, and playtime! I currently work full time in the medical field. I have availability in the afternoon/evenings during the work week on select days. I also have availability on weekends at most times of the day. I have provided other in-home services through my profession and weekend jobs and I can assure proper care of your home and pets. I prioritize safety of your pet during walks using non-slip leads.
“Heather is absolutely wonderful. She has pet sat twice for my two boys (cats). I trust her so when I leave I never feel worried or the need to check the app which frees my mind to focus on other things. Heather is kind, compassionate, respectful of our home, and most importantly she loves our two boys and takes excellent care of them. When we return the boys are calm, content, sweet as ever, and our home looks great. Heather’s notes, pics and videos are a delight to read and view. We will continue to ask Heather to pet sit whenever we travel. 5 stars!”
“I am so thankful for Beth! She was quick to respond and took great care of my dogs in a last minute booking. She sent pictures and gave a great update for how the visit went. I will definitely be using her in the future when I need a drop in visit!”
“Victoria takes cat-sitting to another level! My kitty can tend to be shy around new people, but Victoria has such a calm, friendly presence that he warmed up to her almost immediately the first time, and on this re-booking, remembered her and was instantly comfortable with her again. She took such good, thoughtful, above-and-beyond care of him while i was out of town, that I would very highly recommend her to anyone - she is a pleasure to work with, and a top-notch cat care-giver!”
About: i’ve grown up with one dog and two cats throughout my childhood. There’s nothing where I love than taking care of animals and engaging with them. I am currently working part-time. Therefore, I have a lot of time to take care of your cute pets!! You tell me when and where and i’ll be there! I am more than happy to give your fur baby the love that I give my own! The best getaway is knowing your pets are being well taken care of at home, and I can do that!!

“Sitter kept in touch with us while we were out of town. I feel due to my long work hours and the Reno at our home, I could have provided more concise info. Caroline can be quite a challenge and it seems sitter did well. I feel the cost of ?70 + was high and actually the highest we have ever paid. (1/2 hr for 2 dogs).”
About: I've been a pet owner for 30 plus years, to include cats and dogs. I have also done pet sitting many times for families in and around Camp Hill, PA. I am currently a proud momma of three amazing furry friends: a 14 year old cat, a 9 year old catahoula leopard doggies, and a very energetic 2 1/2 year old mini golden doodle. All of these animals are rescues. I am currently working a job that ends at 3:30 each week day, and am very flexible with my availability of time over the weekends. I am up very early each morning to let my two dogs out in our backyard, which is fenced in. I also administer medication to our cat at that time, along with feeding all of my pets. All of our pets have free range of our house, but our youngest dog can be crated at times when necessary. I also love taking both of our dogs for walks every night.
About: I have done dog-sitting for family friends and others for years, including care for cats and dogs with medical issues. I also have my own dog who I am the sole caretaker of. I am a college student and intern for my healthcare program with plenty of flexibility throughout the week, weekends, and even overnights if needed ! I offer services to take your animals out on walks or do pop-in visits! I currently do not offer any pet-sitting services involving bringing them back to my home.
“Kayla is detail oriented and clearly loves animals. We had a great meet and greet where she took notes, and she was very patient with my high energy dog. She filled out the rover card with very pertinent details and supplied several photos. I look forward to having her back and would happily recommend her to any other doggy family!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,742 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shellsville. 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 Shellsville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
