“Kari was an absolute rockstar Petsitter. Our kitty has diabetes, so he needs his insulin shot daily within a specific time period. Kari was on time every day and sent photos throughout our whole 2 week trip. Not only did she take great care of our cat, but she made she to take the trash out and keep everything straightened so the house didn’t smell like we’d been gone for a while. We will absolutely request her for future trips!”

About: Hi! I’m Kyle — a reliable, active, and detail-oriented pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals and years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection I would want for my own. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy long walks, outdoor time, structured routines, and giving dogs the engagement they need to stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves high-energy adventures, slow sniff walks, playtime, or simply companionship and consistency, I adapt to their individual needs. My background in coaching and leadership has made me extremely dependable, communicative, and organized. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is safe and having a great time. I’m especially good with: * High-energy dogs that need exercise and structure * Nervous or shy dogs that need patience and calm handling * Puppies working on routines and consistency * Senior dogs needing extra care and attention * Large breeds and strong pullers Safety and trust are my top priorities. I pay close attention to leash safety, surroundings, hydration, body language, and overall comfort during every walk or stay. I also understand how important communication is when trusting someone with your pet, so I pride myself on being responsive, punctual, and transparent. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, overnight sitting, vacation coverage, or last-minute help, I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make your life easier. I currently work from home, so I'm flexible at multiple points in the day. I will be able to provide high quality service up to 4:00 pm every day. In the evenings I do have commitments to my soccer teams that I coach. However I can also stop by after 8 pm if needed for late night walks. I will come to your place and walk or if needed a short car ride to an appropriate area to walk your dog for as long as needed. Hikes, or long walks can also be included.
“Sophie was wonderful with my puppy! She kept great communication throughout the entire time, sent me the cutest photos every day, and took him on nice walks. He looked so happy and comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions very well, and I would definitely trust her to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”

“This is our third time booking Michael to care for our two cats while we were gone for 8 days.

“Aurora was amazing!!! We used her twice for drop ins while we were visiting the area. We all absolutely loved her (us and the pups). She came and met the pups a day before we needed her. All fear was gone, because they immediately took to her. She was very professional and always sent us pics. She was even very understanding about the campsites weird rules about visitors. If we come back again we will definitely try to get Aurora again”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shiremanstown
First time using Lauren and was happy with her care and attention to our two dogs. She walked and played with both dogs, especially our younger one who needs more exercise. She kept in regular communication, sending messages when needed, and providing pictures. The dogs were fine and the house seemed in good order when we got home!.
It was our first time booking Chentel and our first time ever booking a pet sitter. We felt very comfortable, leaving her with our boys. She was really great with the transition to meeting them and having us leave. We could tell she was very experienced with meeting new dogs. Will definitely book again!

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 Shiremanstown 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
