“We are new to town, and first-time users of Rover, but Cassidy did a thorough job at preparing us, and made us feel at ease. She was amazing with our 2 GSPs, and kept us up to date the entire time. We will be using her again. She is absolutely amazing!”
“I cannot recommend Shyann enough! I had to make a last-minute booking, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Even with the short notice, they insisted on doing a meet-and-greet to make sure my dog was comfortable and that all instructions were clear—a level of professionalism and care I truly didn't expect given the tight timeline. They are reliable, incredibly sweet with my pup, and provided fantastic updates. It is such a relief to find someone so dependable and accommodating. I will absolutely be booking again!”
About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
“Matthew was phenomenal! He is extremely attentive and considerate. I felt comfortable with him around my sweet princess Bella. He provided quality feedback and responded quickly. I’ll certainly be using his services again! Thank you so much Matt”
“Diana and Danette were wonderful! I was hesitant to use Rover after a previous experience, but they put my mind at ease. Diana was quick to respond to my requests and when I needed a last minute change, she was able to accommodate it. My dog loved both Diana and Danette, and I will definitely use their services in the future! Highly recommended!”
“Ashley was prompt, stayed the whole 30 minutes to play with our pup, communicated the entire time and even took the cutest photos of our puppy! She’s great and will be using her again. 😊”
“This was our second time having Veronica watch our cats and she again did a great job. We have a new kitten and she needed extra attention, Veronica was super accommodating and went the extra mile for our cats!”
“Once again, such wonderfully loving care for my cat :) I have never had such piece of mind! Brandy is thorough, consistent, and very patient. I feel more than comfortable leaving my animals in her care.”
“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”
“Alyssa took amazing care of Gus! He really enjoyed seeing her every day, getting lots of play time and snuggles! She did everything perfectly and I will definitely rebook with her in the future! Great communication and photos!”
“Audrey did an amazing job watching over my cat, Binx. It is always hard to leave her behind, but it was truly such a relief to know my baby was being taken care of. I would use Audrey again for sure!”
“Siyani is definitely the first person we always reach out to when we need to go out of town - we always know our bulldog Bella will be thrilled to see her. She is very responsive and respectful, and also let us know about an unrelated issue in our yard in advance so we weren't surprised when we arrived home. I highly recommend her services!”
“Abby is awesome! She had some big shoes to fill since we had such great sitters in Baltimore, and so far she has proven herself to be warm and reliable. Bruno has warmed up to her and she stays in contact to be sure she is doing what she needs to to keep him happy and healthy.”
“I couldn’t have been happier with the care provided by Quinn for my cat, Oreo, while we were on vacation. She was attentive to Oreo’s needs despite Oreo’s reluctance to come out of hiding. Amazingly, Quinn was able to find her and send me a few photos! I truly am grateful for Quinn’s gentle manner, her knowledge of cats’ idiosyncrasies, and especially for her dependability and trustworthiness. I would highly recommend Quinn to anyone hoping for a caring pet sitter, and am hopeful she is available should I need her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of animals professionally for about 8 years. I have experience in most of the animal industry including vet care, retail, boarding/daycare, and animal training. I know how overwhelming life can get, am happy to help with any of your pet care needs so that you can have peace of mind while you’re away for work. I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until 11:45. I love fast walks, so a typical routine would be pick up, take on a walk (the timer begins once we’ve started our walk) and then ends once we are back at your home! I live in a home with a small back yard in a nice walking neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks to be on. I am also a big fan of hiking and finding new walking trails so your pups will get plenty of exercise! I have a friendly 8 year old lab mix at home who can provide company to your pup as well. Please reach out to me to schedule a meet and greet with me so we can get to know each other!
“Stevy did a great job with my pup. He enjoyed her company while I was away, and it was great to see him happy in the pictures that she sent. I highly recommend booking with Stevy.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Swatara
Siyani provided prompt, great care for our two cats, including one who is a bit of an escape artist. We had no worries while we were away, and the kitties seemed pretty content and everything else in the house was in order. I would definitely recommend her services
Cassidy was great to work with and my cat was well taken care of. Getting the detailed notes and photos after each visit was super helpful and I felt at ease receiving updates. I came home to the litter trash taken out and the pet dishes cleaned and dried. Highly recommend Cassidy for her excellent services
Brandy noticed that the house seemed hot, checked the thermostat, and contacted me to let me know we might have a problem with our hvac system. She checked a few things for us, and it became clear the system was broken. I was able to call a repair service and set up an appointment for a repairman to come out the afternoon we arrived home. We appreciate her attention to detail!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Swatara on Rover is $13.91 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Swatara. On Rover:
- 97% 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.
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.
