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!
“I can't say enough great things about Becky. She is professional, punctual, and highly knowledgeable about pet care. She brings amazing energy and genuine affection to every walk, ensuring my dog gets exercise and lots of snuggles. Libby gets so excited when she arrives. It is clear how much she loves animals and how much my dog loves her! 5 stars isn't enough!”
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: One of my favorite things about dogs is how each one is unique! I take the time to learn each dog's likes, dislikes, triggers, and quirks. I've been a dog-walking volunteer at Speranza Animal Rescue for over two years, where I walk dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm also a dog training nerd, and I'm always excited to share training and enrichment ideas with my clients. My own dog of 14 years struggled with reactivity, which sparked my passion for learning about dog behavior. I believe in the importance of building a relationship with each dog. I also have experience with senior dogs and giving medication. Whether your dog is a nervous nelly, a rambunctious rascal, or something in-between, I tailor each walk or drop-in to meet your dog's needs! Pet-sitting is my full-time gig, so I have plenty of flexibility around my standing dog-walking appointments! Contact me to find out if I have a time slot or availability that will work for you. :) I will keep your home tidy and neat when I visit, as if I haven't been there. I'm happy to refill food/water, bring in mail or packages, and crate or gate your pup if needed before I leave. Just let me know what you need!
About: I have a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up in a family that always had pets. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I have also provided dog walking and pet sitting services for friends and family, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications when needed, taking dogs on regular walks, providing exercise and companionship, maintaining their routines, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention and dedication, ensuring they receive the same love, routine, and care they would at home. I will be beginning a new job as a PA in the near future, but until then I have a very flexible schedule and can devote 100% of my time and attention to the pets in my care. Even as I transition into my career, I will only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet continues to receive the reliable, attentive care they deserve. You can trust me to be reliable, punctual, and highly communicative through every visit! treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your pet's routine.

Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help.

I’m also happy to send photo updates after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.
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.
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!
“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!
About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Family, friends, and colleagues. I love to serve all those around me and help to make their lives simpler and less stressful I am a graduate physical therapy student at Messiah University with a predictable class schedule. I am available most mornings, evenings, and lunchtime hours for dog walks or quick let out visits so your dog can get outside and stay comfortable. My current housing does not allow me to keep pets in my own home. However, I am available for overnight stays in your home to provide consistent care and support for your dog in their familiar environment.
About: I have had 8 years of experience dog sitting, hosting, walking and staying at others homes for dog sitting. I love dogs and as I think cats are cute, I am allergic and unfortunately cannot watch them. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I love boys or girls! I enjoy going on car rides and checking out new areas for the pups to take a walk. I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a pittie/lab mix and his name is Bentley. He loves to cuddle, play with other dogs, and is sweet as can be! I currently work full time hybrid. I work from home tuesdays and Friday’s and off on weekends. These are the best days for me to have a dog with me since I’m home. I work a 8-4 job. I care for them by spending time, making sure they are fed, walked, and loved on. I have my dog who enjoys chilling or playing with the dogs depending on what the other dog prefers. Pet care fits with my routine as I am hybrid for work and only live 10 mins away from my job. It is easy for me to run home over lunch to check on the dog I’m watching or if close by take out. I make time to spend with the dog I am watching and that they feel comfortable in my home. While dogs are in my home, I treat them like my own. They are able to sleep with me, be on furniture, etc. I take them for walks to get exercise. With parent permission I make ice cream treats (blueberries & Greek yogurt frozen together) and give them to the dog. I make sure they feel comfortable, are fed and have plenty of water. If a parent would like me to administer meds or give a bath, I am happy to do so!

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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shepherdstown. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
