“Came every day requested and let our pup out for her potty breaks and sent pictures. Also brought in delivery packages and set them inside for us! Would highly recommend Bailee and will use her again if we ever need to!”

About: If there’s one thing I’ve always known, it’s that caring for animals is something I truly love. I went to school to become a veterinary technician in 2015 and spent about five years working in the veterinary field. While I eventually stepped away from veterinary medicine after experiencing compassion fatigue, I’ve always missed the animals and the rewarding part of the job — getting to care for them, earn their trust, and make sure they feel safe and loved. That’s what brought me to Rover! I’m excited to get back to doing something I’m passionate about while providing pets with the same patience, attention, and compassionate care I would want for my own. Because of my veterinary background, I’m comfortable caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, including senior pets and medically complex animals. I’m experienced with administering medications such as pills, liquids, and injections, and I’m not intimidated by pets who require a little extra care or a more detailed routine. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or simply have someone nearby while you’re away, I’ll meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are being cared for by someone experienced, attentive, and genuinely happy to be spending time with them. 🐶🐱❤️ I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the love and care they deserve! I am lucky and my full time jobs schedule makes it where I have free time to also do what I love and care for animals! Wednesday and Thurdays are my long days. So I'm limited to 1 drop in on those days but other than that I can make 2-3 work pretty easily. My veterinary background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, which I believe is especially important when doing drop-in visits. I know that having a stranger enter their home can be stressful or scary for some pets, and I never expect an animal to immediately trust me just because I’m there. I’m patient and comfortable letting pets set the pace. I pay close attention to their body language and give them the space they need while gradually building a positive association with me. Whether that means sitting quietly nearby, offering treats, using calm and reassuring interaction, or simply allowing them to observe me until they feel comfortable, I want each pet to feel safe in their own home. My veterinary experience has also taught me how to safely approach animals who are nervous, fearful, reactive, or simply unsure of new people. I’m comfortable recognizing when a pet needs more space and adjusting my approach accordingly rather than forcing interaction. Above all, I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal during every drop-in is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. ❤️

About: I have experience with diabetic cats and dogs, as well as animals that need saline boluses. I've had cats, dogs, and birds my whole life, and have had lots of experience handing cats and dogs who need extra care. If you pet has a CGM I'm familiar with those too, and am happy to keep you updated on monitored levels. I love spending time brushing and keeping up with grooming, abs have experience with long haired shih-tzus and Maine coons, so if your furry friend also needs a little extra care in the grooming department, I'm more than happy to provide! I'm on sabbatical from a research position so I thought I'd spend some time getting out of the house and enjoy the company of some furry friends on occasion. I an very respectful of your home and the safety and security of your pet and home are incredibly important to me. Litter boxes will always be clean, as will bowls and any occasional messes or accidents your furry family makes.

About: I have several years experience working for a pet sitting company doing house visits and dog walking. During this time I gained a lot of great knowledge on how to properly care for cats and dogs. I've had my own pets over the years as well, I currently own 2 rabbits. During a house visit I would be sure to feed, water and take them out to potty. I would also make sure to give them plenty of attention if they like that. If you have a cat I can scoop or change litter if needed as well as keep the area clean where the litter box is stored. I am also available for 30 minute walks with your pet to make sure they get the exercise they need. I look forward to hearing from you! I have a flexible schedule, willing to work with yiy to work with you to figure out what works best for everyone with your pets needs in mind first. I am only available to care for your pet in your home, I will take great care of them and treat your home with respect.

“Heather is fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure my pets’ care while I was away. Heather treated my pets as they were her own, stayed in close contact every visit with photos and updates. Heather asked about making a judgment call that would allow better comfort for my pets as well. I have not known another pet sitter who cared more for my pets. Next time I am away, Heather is my pet sitter again.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Strasburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 46 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Strasburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Strasburg. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
