About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have always loved caring for them, which naturally led me to want to expand my experience with dogs as well. I began working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, needs, medications, and energy levels. Today, I’m fortunate to make a living doing what I love—caring for other people’s pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm companion, or simply some extra love while you’re gone, I’m happy to provide dependable and compassionate care. Your pets will always be treated with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I work full-time with dogs at a daycare facility and usually work second shift, so I have my mornings and afternoons free to hang out with your furry friend! We can spend the day going on walks, playing, getting some good snuggles in, and of course, taking plenty of naps. Then I’ll be back in the evening for dinner time, more cuddles, and some cozy bedtime company! When I’m caring for your pets in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible! I’ll follow all of the instructions you leave for me, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any little routines or preferences that help your pet feel at home. I’ll also make sure they have plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll send you regular photo and care updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing and have peace of mind while you’re gone! I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and tidy. Most importantly, I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have loved animals my whole life. I currently have a 3-year-old pitbull, 2-year-old rat, and a 7-year-old horse, and I’ve been riding horses for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to feed, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and truly enjoy making animals feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, playtime, and care they deserve! I’m usually most available Fridays through Mondays, with flexible evening availability during the week as well. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I care deeply about making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, stress-free environment for both you and your pets.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had pets myself and I have pet sat for my friends and family for years. I am punctual and detail oriented. Whatever you and your pet need I will provide. I will always show love and respect to the pets I care for. I work at Mom's Organic Market 4 days out of the week so I have plenty of open days to take care of your pets. I live in an apartment and have a cat so my place would not be ideal for pets to stay over. Maybe another cat would be ok. I am open to that.

About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.

About: Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Nick! I’m excited to provide loving and reliable care to your pets. I’m an outgoing individual and I love to express that same personality towards animals too. I’m never too tired or lacking energy to get up and play/care for them. I’ve taken pets on walks to the park before, walks around campus, walks around the city, etc. Whether it’s keeping your pet company, feeding them, or simply making sure they are comfortable and happy, I will make it my job to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m dependable, detail-oriented and understand the importance of following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs and any special instructions. I also believe communication is inportant, so I’m more than happy to provide updates and pictures while your pet is in my care. I work full-time but mainly work remote from home so I’m happy to coordinate my availability in advance to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs. I will always do my best to make scheduling convenient for you. I look forward to making friends with you and providing the best pet care! I work from home a lot so it’s easy for me to tend to my home and take care of what needs to be done. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because besides cooking and keeping the house clean, I don’t really have any other responsibilities I make sure pets in my home are well hydrated and that they are in an environment where they feel free to roam around and have space to feel comfortable

“We needed Dani last minute and she was able to accommodate us. She was very clear on what she was and was not able to do given her other responsibilities. We appreciate clear communication giving realistic assessment of her availability and her working within that to accommodate us! Our Maltipoo Lizzy loves Dani. Dani remembered Lizzy’s special requirements from a previous visit even though we didn’t have time to go over details. At the time of visit Lizzy was recovering from an injury. Dani was able to keep her calm despite Lizzy being super excited to see her.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, in my neighborhood. That started my extensive experience with animal care/handling. I have worked at animal hospitals, shelters, spca, animal control, boarding facilities, and Philadelphia zoo. These different environments allowed me to gain experience with all different ages of animals and species. I also had to administer medication, vaccinations, bladder expressions and other treatment required for the care of the aminals. This experience gave me the knowledge to use many preventative measures to keep the animals safe. I have a passion for caring for animals. I understand them, this allows me to provide the best care possible. Let me help you with keeping your furr babies comfortable in their own daily routine. I work Rover full-time currently. I have plenty of time to care for your furr babies. Schedule is open, so I'm flexible with the hours needed for care. I have a fenced play area in the community I live. Separate feeding for everyone and if anyone gets over stimulated I will crate them to allow them to calm down then we will move on to the next activity or relaxing time.

About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.

About: Hi! I’m an EMT and lifelong animal lover who brings the same calm, responsible energy to pet sitting that I bring to my work. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm when things don’t go exactly as planned — your pup is in good hands with me! I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, whether that means going for a walk, playing, exploring, or settling in for a good old-fashioned snuggle session. 🐾 I’m clean, respectful of your home, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re away. Basically: responsible enough to trust with your home, fun enough to keep your dog entertained, and always available for a good cuddle. ❤️🐶 I have other commitments which are flexible, this allows me to be thoughtful about the bookings I take on. I’m happy to work with your routine and your pet’s needs whenever my schedule allows. I value quality time over rushing from one visit to the next, so when I commit to caring for your pet, I want to make sure I can give them the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I truly believe that caring for someone’s home is an extension of caring for their pets. I treat every home I stay in with the same respect, care, and attention I would want someone to give my own. I’m naturally clean and tidy, and I take pride in leaving a space feeling just as comfortable and cared for as when I arrived. I’m respectful of personal belongings, mindful of house rules and routines, and always make sure things are secure and well looked after.

About: I have loved animals my entire life. At 8 years old, I got my first kitten and have been caring for animals of all kinds since then. I've even successfully hatched praying mantises! I have handled special needs animals, including cancer patients, and I am a quick learner. Happy to administer meds and do basic grooming as well (brushing, nail trims) if your animal is cooperative. I love cats, dogs, bunnies, and reptiles and am open to sitting for most any creature. As an entrepreneur, I am super flexible, so I can almost always work with your scheduling needs unless I'm traveling for an event. I can even make multiple visits per day or do overnight pet/house sitting. I am an avid cuddler and will be your pet's ultimate companion while you're gone. I am highly empathic and am currently studying feline reflexology. Your animal's comfort and serenity are as much of a top priority to me as their physical needs. I will love your baby as much as you do and will do my absolute best to keep them happy and safe for you. After all, animals are family. 🫶🏼

Kortney was absolutely amazing with our dog Zara!!! We had a last minute cancellation right before vacation, and Kortney was incredibly accommodating and flexible with Zara’s check-ins while we were away. Zara is a very anxious dog who needs extra attention, patience, and lots of love. Kortney not only took on the job the same day, but she was also willing to meet Zara before we left, which gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind. Throughout our trip, Kortney provided daily updates after every check-in, including the cutest pictures of Zara. Since this was our first time using a pet sitting service, those updates really helped ease our minds. It was clear that Kortney took excellent care of Zara and gave her the same love and attention we would have. She understood our needs right away and stepped in with such ease when we needed someone most. Definitely will be booking again and thank you so much Kortney for your services ✨🩵

Mollie was our 1st ever Rover booking & our 1st ever single dog pet sitting visit request/need. We recently lost our oldest of the 2 boys …James has never been by himself in our home & since we lost our oldest Boy, James has started with separation anxiety…protest barking when we are out of his sight/alone. Mollie asked great questions at the meet & greet & was very good with James. We booked the 1 hour visit & were extremely relieved that James was so happy with Mollie❤️ she was prompt. Got James out for walks in the rain. Kept us updated during the visit…we will absolutely book again with Mollie.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Shillington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Shillington is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 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 November 2026, there are 2,225 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Shillington. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shillington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Shillington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shillington. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
