“Chance was absolutely incredible! He left such detailed feedback for each drop-in visit, and he took the best possible care of Avett while I was out-of-town. I would definitely recommend booking with him, and I’ll 100% be using him again!”
“Emily F did a superb job of catsitting my cat for a week. I've had other sitters in the past, but Emily was by far the best. She texted me everyday with an update of how Kitty was doing. That sounds like a minor thing, but it is appreciated immensely. Good job Emily F, and thankyou!”
“Heather took great care of my cat and was thoughtful in making sure he had everything he needed, from play time to making sure the house was at a comfy temperature for him! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Anna was awesome. Our dog is very stubborn and particular in her old age. Anna seemed to have an easy time with her and things went great. We will definitely continue to use her when needed. Highly recommended.”
About: Hi, my name is Sara Fox! I’m 30 years old! I’ve had dogs in my family since I could walk. I’m very flexible and if something comes up, I let you know ahead of time. I’ve done pet sitting for many years. My family and I have a boxer with lots of energy. I have a huge heart for dogs and dogs have been a huge part of my life. I enjoy doing anything outside and would be more than happy to take your dog(s) on hikes. I hope that you take into consideration what I have provided you and look forward to hearing from you soon! Enjoy your day! Thank you! I currently don't have my own animal. I take care of other's animals and have always been good with that. Hope to hear from you! I would treat any clients home like my own. I want to leave it the way the it was when I arrived at your home to take care of your animal(s).
About: Hi. My name is Lisa. I am new to Rover but not to loving and caring for pets. I have always had a dog or cat (or fish, guinea pig or turtle). Currently, I have Winston, my almost 17 yr old minie doxie. Previously I was an SPCA volunteer dog walker. I have experience with many breeds/sizes/temperaments. I am quite flexible and offer walking and other drop-in services in the South Williamsport area. I am currently retired and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have a senior dog to care for at home (Winston, my almost 17 year old mini doxie.) I can care for your pets in your home and will follow care instructions thoroughly. I will work with you to ensure your pets needs are completely satisfied.
“Ivy is wonderful about following directions, asking questions or needing clarification. She keeps me well informed with photos and updates every day I’m away. I’m grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“She Came through for me when I needed it most with life threatening issues that required an ER visit and in need of a cat sitter to care for my 5 month old Maine Coon Kitten even asking 4 visits a day scheduled at an hour a piece. Very easy to work with.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets reliably and consistently since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong experience with cats and dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my experience with senior and special needs dogs and cats—I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness they require, whether it’s administering medications, helping them move around comfortably, or simply giving them calm companionship. I’m committed to treating every pet like my own, with a balance of love, structure, and reliability that gives owners peace of mind. As a self-employed person, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. I’m able to plan around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins, and I have the time to give pets consistent attention without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make safety and trust my top priorities. I carefully follow the pet’s established routine, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and make sure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. During walks, I’m attentive to my surroundings and keep pets safe from hazards or unfamiliar animals. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, treating it with the same care I would my own. My goal is to give pets a comfortable, stress-free experience and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in responsible hands.
About: I’ve taken care of animals, including dogs, cats, & fish for family members, family friends, and I have always been given good reports! I love animals so much! I’m working part-time, so I’m mostly available whenever! I’m almost always available to love on and care for your pets, just communicate with me on when and how your pets need care and we’ll make it work ◡̈ Safety and Trust: I always prioritize a Meet & Greet before booking. It lets me learn your dog’s specific quirks, house rules, and exact feeding or medication routines directly from you. When we go out for walks, my phone stays in my pocket and my eyes stay on your pup. I don't let strange dogs approach us, and I always double-check that collars and harnesses are securely fastened before opening the front door. Because I am house sitting, your pet gets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment, which naturally keeps their anxiety low while you are away. My Approach in Your Home: Since I don't have pets of my own, your pet gets 100% of my undivided attention and affection. I treat your home with total respect by keeping it clean, quiet, and secure exactly how you left it. When I'm in your space, my main goal is to maintain your dog's normal day to day routine so they barely even notice you're gone.
“Mikenah took on the challenge of five dogs without hesitation. She came to meet the dogs prior to the visit, and I could tell they loved her immediately. During her visit, Mikenah kept me informed of everything that happened with my clan and shared amazing pictures too! It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dogs and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I would easily book with Mikenah again!”
“Christine took good care of my dog. She showed concern that he was shaking when she got there and texted me right away. She spent time with him until he seemed to stop shaking and left me know that he was alright. I will definitely rebook her when I need someone.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and absolutely love taking care of them! I am a full time stay at home mom. I'm available anytime. I love taking walks and we go to parks and walks all the time so the dogs would get plenty of exercise. They will be well taken care of and loved. I can give baths if needed, will also brush the dogs. Absolutely love getting to play with dogs and have them running around and enjoying their time outside! I'm pretty flexible on times and what all would need to be done. I am willing to travel to your house and walk the dogs, feed and water them as needed and anything else that needs to be done to care for your dog. This just has to be done at certain times. I have three kids, 8, 6, and 1 they absolutely love animals as well and are nice to the dogs! We live in a small mobile home park and dogs are allowed so no worries there. I can watch the dog while you're on vacation or however, whenever is needed if I get some notice! I am a stay at home mom so I'm home all day almost every day. I can take them outside to play a lot too. I don't have a fenced yard so dogs would be leashed and will get long walks. They will get toys inside as well to play with and fed and watered as requested. Im a stay at home mama so i have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups!! I also have 3 little helpers to run out some of their energy! I don't have a fenced yard so they will be leashed but there is a dog park very close to me that's fenced in and i am more than happy to take them there and run out some energy!
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
“Madison is super trustworthy, followed all my instructions to the T, and communicated all throughout her drop ins! I will definitely book her, again, with a peace of mind if she’s available in the future!”
“I contacted Montana for Drop in Visits for my two high energy dogs. She communicated clearly, was wonderful with the pups, got them fed, walked and spent time playing with them. I got great photos and updates throughout the visit. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time now. I volunteer at the humane Society by my college and take dogs on walks/day trips. I only work my job 9am-2pm on Saturdays, which makes me very open any other times and days. And would be happy to take care of your dog whenever needed I can easily crate your dog if needed and feed and water. I will spend time with your dog on drop-ins to make sure they are happy. Love taking dogs on walks and will make sure they get their energy out.

Emily was amazing! We had some issues with the automatic feeders and she was so great with helping find their old bowls to fill up! She communicated often and I always felt super up to date with what my kitties were up to! Both my adult cat and kitten seemed to love her presence. 100 will be rebooking in the future :)
Ludi took absolutely amazing care of our cats while we were traveling. She is responsible, communicative, kind, and attentive, and you can really tell that the cats enjoyed spending time with her and were taken care of very well. Thank you so much for being awesome!!

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 South Williamsport 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.

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.
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.
