“Carol was amazing. We booked her last minute and we are so grateful at the amazing care she provided my senior dog. She did everything we asked and more. I felt better about leaving my dog in her capable hands.”

“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life—to me, they’re more than pets, they’re family, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same dedication. Recently moved to Sunbury 😊 I grew up with a classic black lab named Midnight who put up with all my childhood nonsense (including but not limited to Halloween costumes and getting pulled around in a wagon for fun) - she was the pinnacle of family dogs for 14 years before we lost her to cancer. Eventually we got an American Eskimo of which I named Sage and was allowed to help train with guidance. She was loving when she wanted to be loved and learned tricks like fetching the newspaper from the end of the driveway (when that was a thing). Sage was always my buddy in middle school and high school, she filled my days with countless memories for 13 years before we had to let her go also to cancer. My family now has a tiny, sassy American Eskimo which you’ll see in pictures but in 2020 I began to look for a dog I wanted to add as the first member of my family. As soon as I saw this mini Australian Shepard I knew she was the one. She was adventurous, loving, energetic and is my absolute ride or die ❤️ I cannot picture my life without her. Throughout high school and college I volunteered at the local shelter to feed, bath or walk dogs. I had a family member who also did and sometimes we would foster dogs together if we could make it happen with work I grew up with chickens, ducks and dogs and was usually the girl to care for neighbors animals when they needed. Animals have and always will be apart of my life and family. I’m fairly flexible! I work as a contractor and just moved to Sunbury so I’m f open throughout the day and open to weekends or last minute drop ins if needed. I am happy to care for your dog or cat however you need. Every animal is different with a different personality so I’m happy to do a meet and greet so you can walk me through specifics! I have a 6 year old mini Australian Shepard that I cannot imagine my life without. She plays stick several times a day with me or goes on walks/hikes/whatever adventures. When I do my workouts in the morning I pay the treadmill treat tax and every night she gets night snacks usually in the form of a greenie. So no request is too ridiculous!

About: I've been caring for cats for as long as I can remember and have experience with cats of all ages, from newborn kittens to seniors. I currently have three cats of my own, including one who recently had a litter of kittens, giving me hands-on experience caring for both mom and babies. I also have experience with large dogs, as I have two of my own. Over the years, I've cared for pets belonging to neighbors, family, and friends, including feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care that helps both pets and their owners feel at ease. With my flexible schedule and summers free, I have plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or quality playtime, I can accommodate a variety of schedules and give your pet the attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in good hands, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I care for cats and dogs with compassion and building trust. Having 2 large dogs and 3 cats of my own, I love furry friends!

About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 5 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. I currently work full time in downtown Delaware from 8:00-4:30, give or take the commute to and from your home. However, my weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.

About: I have had dogs since I was 17 most of the time 2 t o 3 dogs at a time. I enjoy walking them and playing outside with them and loving on them. I currently work a fulltime job with work from home days as well. I work 8am to 4pm. I still have plenty of time with my animals and take my dog for walks or play fetch in the back yard. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also love to clean so you would never come home to a mess. I will only care for your pets in your home. I think it is best for them to stay home and not be introduced to a new location plus new people and pets. I will care for your pets exactly how you do.

About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.

“Carina always makes us glad we found not just Rover’s services, but hers specifically, because we know she’ll always give our dogs real time and attention as she cares for them. Whether planned in advance or in a pinch, Carina has always been a huge help when we’ve needed pet care - and she has a great memory for how our dogs behave, and what specific things will make them feel the most cared for! Thankful for the peace of mind she brings when we’re away!”

“Chelsea did a wonderful job taking care of Oscar while I was on my trip! She was reliable, timely, attentive, and communicated very well with me. She was very patient getting to know Oscar while he warmed to her, and the next thing I know she was sending pictures with Oscar sitting on her lap. :) A great first experience with Rover, and I'm sure Oscar is looking forward to seeing Chelsea again in the not so distant future!”

About: My family has had dogs in the home since before I was born. While I don't know if I can commit to a furry friend of my own quite yet living in an apartment, I look forward to caring for yours! I work in office five days a week but have flexibility in my schedule to take long lunch breaks or finish my day remotely. I like to go to the Metro Parks for hikes on the weekend. There are grassy areas around my apartment complex and a dog run. For social or active dogs, I am happy to walk them in Goodale Park.

Kayla did an amazing job dropping in to take care of my 2 cats while I was away on vacation. One cat had specific diet needs and med administrations twice a day, and she handled it like a champ! She even vacuumed my floors before I came home, which was an added bonus. Would definitely book her again and highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunbury on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,637 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunbury. 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 Sunbury. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
