“Jaideep was very communicative and easily accommodated my early morning drop off and pick up. He sent pictures of Sasha looking very content during her stay with him, and kept me updated on everything. I’m just passing through the area, but if you’re local to Harrisburg, PA then definitely book him!”
“This was London's second stay with Elizabeth and it was another successful stay. My dog loves staying there so much she barely wanted to come back home to me. Honestly though Liz is great. She is really caring with the pets and is very good with communication. Will not hesitate to use her again in the future. I would highly recommend.”
“Went above expectations! I wouldn’t hesitate to have De’Andra & Rob take care of my pup. Great communication and updates on pet during stay. Very thorough and you can tell that they care a lot about what they do.”
About: For house sitting a drop in care: I have taken care of friends and families dogs for arounds 3 years now. They range from 10 months old to 11 years old so, I have some senior dog care experience. They range from 10 pounds to 110 pounds. My dog requires daily pill medication distribution so, if you pet requires a daily pill, I am a veteran at administering pills. I also have oral syringe medication experience. I am a doctor as well so, if a pet requires needle medication administering, I can do that as well with instructions. If you dog requires long walks, I am the person who is up for the job. If you pet would rather sit on the couch and curl up with tv shows, I am also the person for that job! For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, 6am to 2:30pm and am available any time after that. I am willing to stay in the pet owners home and will be home everyday after work. I am available at any time during the weekend. For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience.

If you pet is required to go into a crate daily, I have crate experience and can safely put your pet into the crate when needed. I can walk your pet daily. If there is a feeding and/or medication schedule, I will follow the instructions given in order to ensure your pets safety and needs. I do medication distribution, litter box cleaning, walks, playing with toys and any indoor pet maintenance that you may need.
“I am so pleased to have found Heather to watch my two pups! They absolutely loved her, her husband, home and their time there. I loved that my pups got to sleep in bed with them, as they do with me. She sent me photos and updates and she did great handling all their medications and health issues. I would absolutely recommend! My dogs were happy when I returned but almost seemed sad to leave! Lol”
“Deanna and her family made our pup Franco feel right at home. She sent so many updates and pictures - it was nice to know that he was being well taken care of! Franco struggles with separation anxiety and also gets overwhelmed when a lot of going on. Deann and her family over accommodated for him and we cannot thank them enough.”
About: I'm more than just a pet sitter—I'm a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals. I currently own German Shepherds, cats, and parrots, so I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. I have experience with: Large, high-energy breeds like German Shepherds. Cats that need patience, gentle handling, and individualized care. Intelligent birds such as parrots, including providing enrichment, fresh food, and recognizing their unique behaviors. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family, focusing on safety, reliability, and keeping them happy and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply stick to a routine, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care throughout the day. I have the flexibility to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care or medications they require. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, whether they enjoy lots of activity or prefer a calm environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I'm experienced caring for large dogs, cats, and parrots, and I always treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and attention I'd give my own.
“Yianna watched our year and a half old lab, Mazzy, who still has tons of puppy energy. She was patient with Mazzy and provided us with updates and pictures. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again, we would happily choose Yianna.”
“Dawn was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and consistently kept me updated on Milo throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo also had a great time playing with her dog and seemed to really enjoy himself. I would definitely book with Dawn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“I am a very anxious person, Sarah took the time to work with me and my pup. Very accommodating and always asking questions to make sure we are on the same page! And Charlie is an angle!”
“Taylor and her family was amazing with my old man. She sent pictures everyday and messaged updates frequently. I booked with her last minute for a trip and she was so accommodating and excited to spend time with my dog. I will 100% book with her again in the future!”
“Alaina and Ethan were angels. We had brought a pet with us to our vacation, but we’re unable to keep him for our stay do to certain conditions. We were looking for someone to board him at night for a few days in last minute notice. They were our light in the dark both literally and figuratively. But they took the challenge and took care of our little Archie as if he was their own. I appreciate everything they did and plan on using them again.”
About: Hi, my name is Micaela and thanks for stopping by my profile. I owned a pet sitting business for almost seven years before competing graduate school and starting my career. Before that, I pet sat part-time so I have over a decade of experience. I couldn't give up pet sitting entirely, though! I still offer services on weekends and evenings. I am privately insured as a pet care provider. In my spare time, I enjoy dog training and dog sports. I have two Miniature American Shepherds of my own that do agility, FastCAT, and obedience, and rally. I have experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I am happy to care for any size/breed of dog and worked with special needs pets, seniors and pets with behavioral issues such as dog aggression or resource guarding. I can also care for some farm animals such as donkeys and chickens. Experienced giving different types of medication to cats, dogs, and even exotic pets! If you have any questions about arranging services or if my services are right for your pets, feel free to send me a message any time. Before providing services for the first time, I offer a meet and greet visit with you and your pets for all new clients. That way your pets can get to know me a bit and we can discuss their care. Please note when requesting housesitting: I do not offer "constant care" house sitting. This is house sitting where the house sitter cannot leave the home at all or very minimally due to severe separation anxiety, etc. I work full-time and have other clients to see sometimes. All weekly walks and drop in visits are booked in arrival windows. For weekly walks and visits, I currently have several spots available in various windows. If you are traveling, please reach out for availability for the weeks needed. I am currently booking throughout March 31 2023 for housesitting and vacation drop in visits/walks. Please send me a message if you would like to check availability. I offer services in the pet's home for their comfort. Many dogs become stressed when staying outside of their home. This makes housesitting or drop in visits a great option to keep them happy in their own environment.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Thompsontown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thompsontown home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Thompsontown.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thompsontown. On Rover:

You and your Thompsontown sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
