About: I have experience caring for dogs, bunnies,guinea pigs and cats. I have always wanted to care for animals as my career since I was little. I have experience caring for animals in a private setting and with a company. I am devoted to caring for pets as needed. As this will be my full-time job. My schedule is flexible around you and your pet needs. I will always put the animals safety first. I will be aware of my surroundings and communicate with the pet owner daily via text and pictures.
About: Hi and thanks for stopping by! I'm a huge softie for all kinds of animals, having grown up with multiple dogs, cats, and rabbits in the house at all times. In my years of pet sitting for various friends, neighbors, and relatives, I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and horses (and the occasional few guppies:)). Working at a stable for four years in high school also gave me valuable experience in the care and handling of 20+ large animals at a time. I also have experience giving various oral and injected medications, so if your pet has any medical needs, I am comfortable administering them according to your instructions! I moved this year and sadly had to leave my furry friends with family since we cannot have pets in the place we are renting, so getting to take care of your animals would actually be so special to me! Spending time with some furry friends would absolutely make my day :) Whether it's play time, long walks, snuggles, or simply keeping them company, I strive to treat each and every pet as one of my own! As an online college student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can work around your various needs. I can usually be available at short notice and spend considerable time with your furry friends or do frequent drop-in visits if needed! I am a very attentive and caring person, so I will respect your home and love your pets as if they are my own and follow all instructions to the very best of my ability!
“Chentel is a wonderful dog walker/sitter! So happy to have found her. I’m sure my pups are always so happy to see her! She goes above and beyond to care for my pups-and cleans up their many messes!”

About: I love spending time with my dogs, so I'll love spending time with yours. Love giving all dogs unconditional love and attention. I can walk them multiple times a day, and feed, groom, bath them as needed. I love going on walks, and would love bringing some dogs on a walk. I will give your dog all the love and attention needed while you are gone, and make sure that they get everything they needed, even dogs who have special needs, or senior dogs who need help getting around. I am very patient, and love working with animals, especially dogs are my favorite to work with ! I do work full time, but only 3 days a week, I am available in the mornings on those days as well, because I work night shift! I have been caring for my own two dogs for about 10 years now, I am capable of doing anything that your pet may need.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog, so I understand that they aren't just pets, they're family. Over the years, I've cared for the dogs of friends and family, whether that meant stopping by for walks, staying with them while their owners were away, or making sure they got plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. If I'm being completely honest, my favorite living creature on the planet is my fur niece, Baby. She's absolutely spoiled, and I love every second I get to spend with her. Being around dogs genuinely brings me joy, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. My goal is simple: to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or just curling up on the couch for some company, I'll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is in good hands and being cared for like you never left. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pup throughout the day. They'll get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, plenty of love. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to care for both your home and your fur baby with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect your house rules, and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. I'll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. My hope is that when you return home, your pet has been so well cared for that it feels like you were never gone.

About: I grew up on a farm and cared for every animal you can think of, from bottle feeding goats to helping deliver babies. Friends, family and coworkers have relied on me to care for their pets while away or during work hours. I have lots of availability so I'm able to check in on your pet during the day or care for them while you're away for longer time periods. I have lots of availability for short check ins, walks, day care, over night or long term care in your home. I just moved to PA from the Midwest and have cared for pets and animals my whole life. I'm at your service to care for your fur baby in whatever capacity you need. From short check ins or walks during the day to over night care. I'm very dependable, caring and will honor you specific needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’m currently earning my master’s degree online, which gives me flexibility during weekdays for walks and drop-in visits. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own by following your care instructions closely and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re in good hands. My online school schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, especially during the daytime. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and keep you updated if anything changes. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat every home and pet with respect. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send photo updates after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: My very first job at 13 years old was a dog sitter and walker. This became very successful business that I truly enjoyed for years to come. I have had many dogs over my life that have been a part of my family. I have had labs, a German shepherd and now I have inherited a chihuahua. I am a dog lover by nature and would love to help you ensure your dog gets the exercise, fresh air and attention they need! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available during the week with the occasional weekend availability. Please send me a message anytime and I will get back to you in a timely manner. I have a chihuahua of my own who is an old man and doesn’t have the ability to go for long walks anymore. I would love to help your dog get the fresh air, exercise and attention they need!
About: I have cared for many types of dogs, small, medium, and large, for over 20 years. I believe dogs need to be social, active, and allowed to live as though they are the most important being in one's household. I work from home, so there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor play in a fenced yard, leashed walks/runs to the neighborhood park nearby, and human companionship. Car rides to other parks and nature trails are an option as well. My fenced yard provides a safe environment for free play, roaming, and exploration. My home is also a free-range environment, and conducive to a safe and secure stay.
“Wonderful! Great communication! Rachel provided details and photos of her time with my dog. She followed everything requested while following cues from my pet. Will book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have relied on me for various pet needs. From caring for horses, cats, and dogs, I am well versed in the pet care department. Living in the borough of Mechanicsburg I am able to get to your furry friend very quickly to ease your mind when you are away! My pets are a very big part of my life and I care for all pets like they are my own. Rest be assured, your pets are in great hands!
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!

Sophia was absolutely amazing, she took on taking care of our dog very last minute after our first sitter bailed last minute. She took lots of pictures and kept us up to date every single day while we were away. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Shepherdstown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Every walker 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.

- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
