“I can’t say enough good things about Robbyn. Jackson immediately connected with her, and he was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him for a high energy puppy. She kept the place spotless, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos so I always knew he was doing well. I’m truly grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Genevieve was very wonderful to work with. Everything went smoothly for the week that we were away. She kept us updated and sent photos of our chickens and our dog. Without us asking, she offered to take the trash out for us, brought in our mail. She went above and beyond and bathed our pup and cleaned the chicken coop for us while we were away! Highly recommend Genevieve and will be requesting her for future needs.”

“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”

About: As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide more than basic care. I want your dog to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in your absence while maintaining the routines and expectations they are accustomed to at home. I understand the importance of secure handling, appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and respecting each dog’s individual temperament. I am especially passionate about caring for working and high-drive breeds, including dogs that may require experienced handling, structured routines, or additional enrichment. I also understand that some dogs can be sensitive to changes in environment or routine, and I strive to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. Your pets are part of your family, and I treat their care with the same seriousness, attention, and respect I would expect for my own animals. My years of experience with working dogs allow me to provide knowledgeable, dependable, and individualized care for dogs that need someone who truly understands them. Running my own farm allows me the freedom and flexibility to accommodate almost any routines needed for daily walks or drop ins or house sitting. I’ll provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic household care. With 25 years of experience working with animals, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines.

“Angie house sit for my 14 week old puppy while I was at the conference for 4 days. I was very impressed by how much she was attentive to my puppy, letting me know how he was doing on a regular basis, and even training him a few commands. I came home, finding much better-behaving dog, and her notes about what she observed about my dog and suggestions. My puppy and I definitely look forward to seeing her again!”

“I would definitely have Tara take care of our dog again. She kept us well informed of how our dog was behaving and thankfully our dog was good! Our dog seemed very happy and content when we arrived Home which made us think she had a good time with Tara! The house was neat and tidy also. I would certainly recommend her services.”


About: I am a mom to 4 high-energy medium/large breed dogs. I am no stranger to cleaning up accidents, administering medications, handling pets with reactivity, and fulfilling exercise such as playing fetch, tug, flirt pole, long walks, brain stimulation (keeping up with training/commands) or simply snuggling if your baby is low activity. I have been a self-employed residential cleaner for over 8 years and create my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to care for your pets and mine! I am so grateful for all my clients who trust me to help take care of their home and I am hoping to build trust with pet parents as I would love to transition into pet care full time, it has always been what I am most passionate about. While I do have four dogs of my own, I am able to keep your dogs separate from mine at all times if requested and or necessary when boarding. I built my dogs their own apartment behind our house fully equipped with heat, ac, a bed, and doggie door leading to a separate fenced in area so your dog(s) does not have to be dog friendly and we are also child free so your dog can be the only baby in our home the duration of their stay! But if you would like for your dog(s) to have a playdate and a doggie daycare style stay that can be arranged as well!
About: After spending years in hospitality, I’ve built my career around providing exceptional care, creating positive experiences, and paying attention to every detail. Those same skills are what I bring to every pet I care for. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals over the years. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My hospitality background means you can expect reliability, clear communication, and outstanding service from start to finish. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your pet’s routine closely, and treat your home and your furry family members with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring someone to watch your pet—you’re choosing someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and is committed to giving you complete peace of mind. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and know they were treated like family every step of the way. My pets keep me on a schedule at home and I’m happy to their schedules in your home. Routines are important to them which I will adhere to. I will abide by your schedule and direction when caring for your animals in your home. I know that being at their home is best for the animal.
“Morgan did a fantastic job while my husband and I had to leave the state to attend a family emergency. We have a 3 year old husky and 2 year old lab both full of energy. She sent us pictures of how the boys were doing as well as letting us know when our husky was getting a lil separation anxiety and not really eating. Our lab was on 2 medications and Morgan made sure our lab was staying on track and when our lab ran out of salami to hide the pills in she had purchased some with her own money to make sure he was okay. 1000% recommend and in the future will definitely look to see if she is available.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Emmanuel! He took exceptional care of our 4-month-old puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. He followed his schedule closely, made sure he got plenty of playtime and exercise, and even continued working on his training and good habits. It was clear from the updates that our puppy was getting lots of attention, affection, and engagement throughout the stay. When we returned home, he was happy, healthy, well-cared for, and settled into his normal routine with no issues. We truly appreciated the level of care, professionalism, and dedication Emmanuel showed. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”

About: I’ve had a pet (dogs, cat and rabbit) since I was 9 years old. I’ve personally cared for my own pets, family member’s pets, family friends and been recommended to friends of family. I’ve walked the dogs, played with them, fed them, made sure they are taken care of, and most importantly- feel secure and loved while their loved ones are away! I’ve taken part in puppy training classes for my current dog and am familiar with calming techniques and proper training for puppies or older dogs. I’m very active and love to keep the dogs company, whether that be taking them for a walk around the block, to their favorite dog park (if okay with owners of course), or just playing fetch in the backyard! I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)
“Zimir did an amazing job overnight with our puppy. She was hit by a car the week before and suffered a broken leg. Zimir came to our house to meet Olive (our Boxer pup) and get instructions. He was attentive to her and and kept us updated and sent pictures. She is also unable to walk so Zimir would carry her outside to do her business. We are so please with his service that we have him coming back in a week! He has a lot of experience with dogs, and highly recommend him to watch/walk your pup!”


About: I have taken care and grown up with animals my whole entire life. I love and appreciate all animals, I have taken care of almost every single animal of all ages shapes, and sizes! I am currently available at all times and I do look forward to playing and exercising experiences with all of your furry friends. Plus taking care of all personal wants and needs, accommodations and everything else in between! I have a fenced in yard and I can also crate if need be but prefer to keep ur precious pup very active and entertained at all times!
About: My family has tradition of owning pugs and now I own my own pet. I've always been around animals from in my own home to looking after my friends pets. I have taken care of labs, poodles and collies to name a few breeds I have dog sat for. I have the patience, friendliness and responsibility to take care of any breed, age, gender and size. I look forward to making new canine friends and believe it will be mutual.
About: Dogs have become a true passion of mine. I provide more than feeding and walks; I focus on understanding each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I’ve worked extensively with puppies and adolescent dogs, helping build confidence, good manners, and positive social skills through structure, patience, and consistency. I carefully monitor eating habits, energy levels, and overall health while dogs are in my care, and I keep owners updated with photos and detailed communication. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. My schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I plan my routine around exercise, structured play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. I strive to maintain each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my highest priority. Every new dog is introduced gradually based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience using crates appropriately for rest, meals, and decompression when needed, and I carefully supervise all interactions between dogs. If your dog prefers quiet one-on-one attention, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I believe every dog is an individual. I take time to observe behavior, communication, and comfort level so I can provide care that fits each dog’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet and your home in capable & caring hands when you have to be away. You will find me to be a laidback, easygoing and trustworthy home and pet sitter. I have years of experience as both a home owner and a pet owner, as well as considerable experience house/pet sitting throughout the mid-Atlantic area. I've been awarded the "Best of Thumbtack" award in the past, and have excellent reviews there. I truly care about the animals and homes placed in my care and am respectful, responsible and honest. House and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with other animals, and get to know new areas. As a pet owner myself, I enjoy offering other owners peace of mind when leaving their loved ones behind for an out-of-town trip. I know how important it is for me that my own kitty and, now, chickens (!) are safe and loved while I'm away, so I like that I can do that for other people, as well.
“Elijah was polite and friendly to us and our reactive rescued pocket bully. He was willing and able to handle her complex feeding instructions, walking peccadillos, and anxieties about people and dogs. Farah looked more relaxed with him in photos he sent than she did with her last pet sitter. Elijah also offered to do any light housekeeping chores we needed, wiped down counters before he left, and even did his own laundry and made up the bed again. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 252 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sunbury walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sunbury maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Sunbury 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunbury. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
