“Emily was terrific. She took care wonderful care of our dog, Millie, including, but not limited to dispensing medication for her needs, walking, playing and interfacing with her. I will definitely try and use her in the future to take care of our dog. She promptly responded to questions I had and kept me up to date with how Millie was doing.”
About: Our family loves dogs, cats and all furry animals and would love to relieve your stress by offering pet sitting services while you're at work, or on vacation. Stay at home mom so plenty of time for walks and play, we have a farm so lots of room for pups to run and play. I have plenty of space to walk your pet, can also crate them if necessary as well as confidently administer any necessary medications. Dogs are fed separately and water available at all times.
“Missy and Justin are always so great with our nervous Nelly. Even though Bea can be a scaredy cat, Missy and Justin welcome her in and give her her space until she comes out of her shell. She loves getting to see Finn!”
“Lauren (and her husband Doug) were absolutely fantastic Rover sitters for my senior dog, Watson. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in caring and capable hands. They were attentive to his special needs and made sure he felt comfortable and loved during his stay. They kept me updated with regular messages and photos and it was clear that they genuinely cared for Watson's well-being. They went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and content! I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their fur babies!!”
About: I have had pets since childhood and we've had them all: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards...and I want to take care of yours, too. I can handle everything from puppies to senior animals. I am currently a part-time writing tutor so I have time to walk dogs and feed cats and critters. Being a writer makes my schedule flexible and perfect for pet-sitting. If an animal is in my home, you can trust that it will be safe and cared for with love. I have a nice little yard for running around and plenty of room to explore and relax.
“Lisa D. boarded my dog at the last minute because my pet sitter cancelled on me. I am so thankful she took Russ in her home. Through conversations with Lisa D. I realized she was very professional and had a lot of expertise in this field. She walked him daily and sent pics daily. I had peace of mind leaving Russ with Lisa D and will rebook soon.”
About: I've taken care or have owned dogs my entire life. Last August, we lost our best friend, Nala, too soon. She was a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) and at the age of 5 was impacted by a very rare auto-immune disease especially for her breed. This was a tragic loss for my family and I and at this moment owning/adopting another dog would be hard. We don't want to ever experience that kind of pain. Having said that, we have so much love for animals and would be grateful to take care of your dog/cat as one of our own. Would prefer to pet sit in your home as we have 3 cats. However, boarding at our home is an option. It's mostly just my fiance Ashley and I living in the home as our adult boys are away at college. Please consider us for all of you pat care needs. Thank you! Working full-time but have a hybrid schedule. In the office 3 days a week but can be flexible. Available weekends and holidays for overnight boarding. I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a park nearby. I also walk/run several miles a day. We live in a 3-level condo with plenty of room for zoomies.
“Jack is a thoughtful, caring, and thorough caretaker of now our second family dog. He has always treated our dogs as family, and they come home happy and well-cared for, and they don’t miss a beat. We are thankful to have him as our caretaker!”
“Wonderful sitter and positive experience to leave our two pups with Sarah. They took to Sarah immediately and there was no problem leaving them. Sarah responds immediately to messages and is very trustworthy. When we need a sitter again, we will definitely contact her.”
“Katelyn helped my dog, Pippin feel safe and welcomed while I was at the beach! He even jumped in her pool and she kept him safe there too! He had a blast and had his own mini vacation. I highly recommend Katelyn to everyone who needs affordable dog sitting.”
“Brionna was excellent with my Gemma. She was patient and cared for her so well. My dog takes a while to get used to sitters and she did so good with her. Hands down the best sitter!”
“Korine and Matt were so kind and thoughtful and took amazing care of Evie! Evie can have a bit of a hard time warming up to people, but she fell in love with them so quickly! They are my first choice when coming back to visit the area! I can't thank them enough!!!!”
“Christine was great. She and her family have given Simba a very happy stay at their beautiful home. Her dog Bond is very friendly and my dog Simba loved playing with him. My dog came home happy and well cared for. The second visit was great as well and Simba just ran into her house when I went to drop him. He had lots of fun in their yard playing and exploring. Cristina sent me pictures and updates about my dog through the entire stay.”
“Our dog Levi had the best time! Amy and her family were so loving to our boy and kept us very well updated! Absolutely will be sending him back to play and stay again! Grateful for all they did!”
About: I have experience working for a brick & mortar dog-walking agency, where I had a regular route of 4+ dogs per day. I have successfully dealt with problem behaviors (nipping, barking, pulling), and became an expert poop-picker-upper. I will do daily drop-ins or short-term stays at my home while you are on vacation. I have a regular job, so I am not available for indefinite bookings. I will care for pets in my home, subject to making sure they will be able to get along with my dog and three cats. My fence is also rather low and may not be suitable for some dogs. Please contact me to discuss further and/or do a free trial visit.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Steelton
We had a great experience with Rebecca. Bennie seemed happy and comfortable with her, and we really appreciated how patient and gracious she was when he unexpectedly had a few accidents despite being potty trained. We could tell that she genuinely cared for him and would be happy to have her watch Bennie again.
This was our first time having our dog, who struggles with separation anxiety, stay at someone’s home. We are extremely satisfied with Kathy and couldn’t have had a better experience! Kathy did a great job with him, he was very well cared for and spoiled! Thank you again!
Nina did an amazing job watching my dog. She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I especially appreciated the photo updates—this was a huge plus and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Nina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.
We were very happy with Rosa and her family. From start to finish, they were very caring and sweet. Since it was our first experience, we loved it. Our pups were in the best hands. We highly recommend trusting Rosa, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much, Rosa and family! From Tina and Cooper 🐶🐶🫶🏻❤️

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 .
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
