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-with exception of Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons. 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 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: I love animals and have a degree in wildlife biology. We had a special needs German shepherd for nine years until her passing several years ago. As a mom of four children who are in school during the day, I have a consistent and flexible daytime schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I genuinely look forward to spending that time caring for animals—whether that’s going on walks, providing companionship, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their routine. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I’m able to give dogs and cats my full attention while my kids are at school. I provide reliable drop-in visits to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay relaxed in their familiar environment. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or tidy up any messes, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I also spend quality time with your pets based on their needs—whether that’s playing with energetic dogs, offering gentle companionship to shy cats, or giving calm affection and attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets individual care and attention. I pay close attention to their behavior and routine so I can notice anything out of the ordinary and ensure they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
“Sydney did a super job with my two babies! They warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her ability to immediately connect with my cats. She was prompt and stayed for the entire drop-in visit. Those are things that are important to me and that I truly appreciate. I will use her again and I definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren seriously went so above and beyond for our cats. She left detailed notes after each check-in, and took tons of photos, and it was just so obvious she was loving on our cats. She really went the extra mile in every way.”
“She really paid great care and attention to my fur babies! Prompt and even helped when she realized the maintenance guy left towels on the floor when my dishwasher flooded the apartment.”
“This was the second time Sydney watched my cat and she was very well taken care of! She sent great pictures while I was out of town and Zoey was happy when I got home. Thanks again, Sydney!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Tina was great with my cat! I really appreciated the comments/blurbs she left on the Rover cards with each drop in visit (both good and bad things that occurred during the visits) as well as including multiple photos of my cat so I didn't get too homesick (catsick?) while out of town ?. I could definitely tell from the photos that my cat was very comfortable with her and received lots of love and attention while I was away. Thank you Tina for giving me a very positive first experience with Rover! ❤ Would definitely recommend!”
“Hanna is great and I will definitely be a repeat client! Our kitties were well taken care of, even though they are both picky and can be catty, Hanna kept them happy! We really appreciate the care and continuous updates and pics/vids of our kitties. I would give more stars if I could! 💕”
About: I have had dogs all throughout my childhood, and whether it’s small pups or big fluffy ones, I love them all! I also love the outdoors and being active. I am currently a student and I have a lot of free time with only one job working Saturday evenings. I commonly go to the gym in the late morning but I am available mostly every day! I offer pet sitting at your own home, along with stop ins and dog walking, keeping your pet cared for and comfortable! I will carefully follow provided instructions for your pets needs.
About: I am very patient and treat every dog like they’re my own. I will give them a lot of love and respect. Thank you !! I have a lot of extra free time and will be willing to make some time for your doggies!! Whenever you need me:) thank you!! I have a huge green grass area in front of my house, a great backyard at my gma’s house and a great neighborhood for walks!
About: I’ve owned and raised German Shepherds as both a kid and an adult, so I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy breeds. I currently have a 4 month old pup and am well versed on the day-to-day realities of caring for furry family members. My professional background is in operations and management, and I'm the father of a 5 y/o boy, so I will approach caring for your pet the same way I do everything else with a straightforward focus on safety, structure, and reliability. I know how to follow specific routines, respect house rules, and give a dog the right balance of exercise and downtime. Whether your pup needs a solid game of fetch to burn off energy or, just some quiet company, they'll be in safe hands. My schedule is currently very flexible during the week, making me highly available for midday walks and drop-in potty breaks when you are stuck at work or away. Whether your pup needs a quick drop-in for food and a backyard play session or a full neighborhood walk to burn off energy, I am dependable, on time, and ready to help keep your dog's daily routine consistent Your dog’s safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. During drop-ins and walks, I am incredibly diligent about double-checking that doors and gates are securely locked when I leave, fresh water is filled, and leashes are properly fitted. I have plenty of experience managing larger, high-energy dogs on a leash, ensuring our walks are controlled, safe, and focused entirely on your pup
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a young child. I have taken care of my roommates, grandparents, and neighbors dogs consistently over the years. I love animals! I own a rabbit named Thor who my husband and I spend a lot of time caring for and loving in our apartment in Camp Hill, PA. I’m currently a grad student and I have a very open schedule to walk and take care of your dog this summer and beyond. I look forward to meeting your dog or cat soon! I offer dog walks and taking care of dogs in their own home. I enjoy getting to know dogs and cats and building trust over time! I do not offer overnights in my own home at this time.

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!
Sydney was amazing with my guys! I booked last minute and she was able to still make the request work! She fed, took them out and made sure they had water! She even got my German shepherd to eat a little which he never does when I’m not there! I would definitely recommend her if you need a drop in visit!
Megan was beyond great. Our dog is crippled atm with arthritis and we are between treatments that he's reacted badly too. It was hard to go away. Yet Megan was willing and able to give him the attention he needed, from gentle brushing since he can barely walk, to cleaning up after him in ways I'd never want to ask anyone. Plus, our cat let her touch him which only happens with a few people. She left our home in great shape. We are so grateful to her. And we're big fans and will clearly call her again if she's available.
Jazzlyn is amazing! I can't give her enough praise. My dog can be a difficult one to win over and he took to her almost immediately. She's warm, caring, responsible, trustworthy, intelligent and responsive. She's everything you could hope for to care for your family pets while you are away. Jazzlyn kept me updated every time she stopped by with pictures and notes. To add to her myriad of talents, she's also an incredible photographer. She took the most stunningly beautiful pictures of my dog and cat, that I actually changed their profile pictures on Rover using her photos. My dog is like one of my children to me and I loved having Jazzlyn care for him and same for my elderly cat, not to mention my son's turtle. She's truly a gem.

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
