“Nicole was absolutely amazing! We were updated on ever visit, took our pup for walks keeping him active, bought him toys and left doggy tv on to keep him company! We will use her on every occasion that requires a dog sitter!”
“My cat absolutely loves Ashley. She takes very good care of her and I never hesitate to request her and only her when I’m going out of town. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby.”

About: Hello! I’m Amanda, and I am thrilled to offer professional, compassionate pet sitting and dog walking services. With a lifelong passion for animals and a home filled with my own "zoo"—including a Doberman, a Boxer, a Boston Terrier, and a bird—I understand firsthand that pets are not just animals; they are cherished family members who deserve the highest standard of care and attention. My Experience and Approach Having grown up with horses and spent years training off-the-track Thoroughbreds, I bring a wealth of experience in animal behavior, patience, and handling. I am comfortable with dogs of all temperaments and sizes, and I am happy to accommodate specific needs, whether that means high-energy exercise or calm, gentle companionship for a senior pet. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for your pets while you are away. I offer: Energetic Dog Walking: Engaging, outdoor walks to keep your pup healthy and happy. Reliable Pet Sitting: Providing companionship, feedings, and plenty of TLC in the comfort of your home. Routine Maintenance: Ensuring your pet’s schedule remains consistent to reduce anxiety. Professionalism and Availability I pride myself on being organized, reliable, and deeply committed to the safety of the animals in my care. Because I maintain a full-time career in the housing industry, I approach my pet care services with the same level of professional discipline and accountability that I bring to my real estate and mortgage work. I am generally available during the evenings and on weekends, and I am happy to work with you to find a schedule that suits your needs. My home life is deeply integrated with my pets, so I understand the importance of clear communication and updates—you can always count on me to be punctual, communicative, and transparent about your pet's time with me. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry, feathered, or four-legged friends to see how I can best support your needs. Let's make sure your pets feel loved, active, and right at home while you're busy with your day! Are you looking for recurring walks, or are you hoping to schedule care for an upcoming vacation or trip? Reliable morning & evening care! With my flexible remote schedule, I’m available for drop-ins before 7:00 AM and after 5:00 PM to keep your pets happy and on track. I provide high-quality, reliable care through twice-daily drop-in visits. Each session covers essential needs—feeding, fresh water, and dedicated playtime—to ensure your pet feels loved and secure. I also offer professional dog walking services for an additional fee to keep your pet active and happy
About: My entire life has been surrounded by loving and taking care of animals, big and small! Majority of experiences comes from walking and feeding neighbors and family members’ dogs when they needed a second hand. I am a currently a full-time student athlete at a college nearby finishing up my last few semesters. My busiest times in my schedule is the mid mornings, but on average free and available right at noon through the evening. I personally have had family dogs in the house, with currently two dogs that are medium sized. I love going on walks, even runs, with both of them when I am back at home. I also enjoy the downtime and just letting the dogs sniff and lay around me to get to know who I am. Especially if it’s a dog that i haven’t met before, I believe it’s great for dogs to get to know what’s going on in their surroundings that occur in their environment!
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and I have been around pets since I was a kid and i have always loved being able to love and care for them. I have two kitties of my own, Yuki and Kushami. I can stay with your pets overnight, so your pets will have plenty of attention while you are away. I do work at a doggy daycare, but i still try to be flexible. I can always give you the daycare information as well. I normally work ~6pm - ~7am I always look after pets with care. All my life I have been around cats and dogs and have loved them more than people. I like to play with them and give them a lot of attention like they are my own!

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had dogs my whole life. By the time I was 10, I was fully handling daily care like feeding, walks, grooming, and vet visits. I also started training puppies at that age and gained experience working with different breeds and personalities. Because of that background, I’m confident caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors who need extra patience. I focus on understanding each dog’s needs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m a full-time college student with classes only one day a week. This gives me plenty of open time throughout the week for check-ins, walks, feedings, and consistent communication. I’m also able to respond quickly in case of emergencies or last-minute needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can make pets a priority and give them the attention they need. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning bowls, and any specific instructions the owner leaves. I make sure the home stays tidy, the pet stays comfortable, and their schedule stays consistent. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I create a calm, safe space for them with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and play. I keep their feeding and exercise routine steady and check in often to make sure they’re relaxed and adjusting well. In both settings, I focus on clear communication, reliability, and making sure each pet feels secure and cared for.
“Jess took amazing care of our dogs while my wife was working long hours and I was out of the country. Highly recommend, we will ask for her help again the next time we need it. Thank you, Jess.”

About: I’ve helped care for pets of my own and my family since I can remember. I adopted 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own almost 8 years ago now. I absolutely adore my fur babies and helping others care for theirs brings me so much joy. I also have now taken on chickens and fish as well, so I have a variety of experience. I’m currently a SAHM homeschooling my oldest and caring for my youngest. I enjoy animals of all kinds, they are my passion and would love to share that with others. Being a SAHM gives me more availability to do drop ins, walks, and care for critters. I have a fenced in yard, which is how I’ve always pottied my dogs, but I’m also happy to walk them on a leash, and have gone back and forth crating my own dog and am happy to do that as well.
About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I have raised and trained two service dogs. We now have a rescue and have gained experience with skittish, anxious dogs. I work full time as an occupational therapist. I am available most weekends for sitting in my home. I also occasionally work weekends and then have days off during the week, so I would be available for limited daytime sitting. I have two friendly labs that are well socialized and love play dates! I would treat your dog as my own. I will follow all instructions to ensure I am meeting your dogs needs.
“Christa was amazing, my dogs are a little nuts and she was very well equipped to make them feel safe and happy! No issues and she took sweet photos of both my awkward dogs!”

“Morgan did a great job with caring for my Golden Retriever and my cat. My cat is diabetic and she tested his glucose and gave insulin when needed. My cat doesn’t always allow new people to take care of him but he did with her. She even took my Golden for a sleepover at her house so my dog wouldn’t need to be crated for a long time. I would love to have her sit again for my animals!”

“Danny did a great job checking on calamity and mikey. Even though they hid when he came, as I knew they would, I could tell they were well taken care of while I was gone. I will use him in the future when I need to go away.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, and I have experience with taking care of many different breeds, young and old. I love animals and will do everything I can to make yours comfortable and happy. Work is currently slow, so I have the time to give your pets all the attention they need. I am available anytime throughout the week and most weekends. I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep yours company. I do not have a fenced yard, but walk them on my private lane often, and take them to the dog park. My pets get fed twice a day, but I can feed yours as often as you’d like - they also have some treat throughout the day.
“Alexandria is always so wonderful with our cat. This time around, she had the added task of administering medicine, and she had no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend!”


About: I currently have 2 dogs. They are 11 and 12! I also have 3 cats ages 1-3! I’m a former employee from Golden Wood boarding where I worked as a kennel tech for almost 2 years. I am very comfortable with all types of animals! I can do walking, playtimes, and administer meds! I’ve also dog sat and been relied on for my neighbors many times! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and spend time with your pet! My schedule is very flexible to make sure your pet gets the quality time they deserve! I care for pets by making sure they have fresh water, are fed on their regular schedule, get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks, and receive lots of attention and affection. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, training routines, and special dietary needs. In a client’s home, I want to keep pets comfortable and on their daily routine!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shippensburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
