“I am ecstatic with Mandy's help with my dog, Jesus. He is naturally timid and he has warmed up to her in less than a week, even after a cross country move. When I come home from work, I can tell that a responsible, caring person has paid him a visit because he is relaxed and happy. Mandy is very quick to respond and communicates very well. I would highly recommend Mandy and greatly appreciate her support!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life—starting with the Dobermans I helped raise as a kid and even a pet pig who thought he was one of the dogs. I’ve worked in the veterinary field, where I learned to safely give medications, handle pets of all temperaments, and notice the small details that keep them healthy and happy. I’ve also worked at Petco, caring for everything from fish and birds to reptiles and small mammals, and I regularly help my neighbor with her pup for walks and playtime. My family has a long history of fostering animals for a local rescue, so caring for pets feels second nature to me. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, gentle company, or extra care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.🐾 I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, during the school year, which allows me to be available in evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active, and spending that time with dogs is a perfect fit for my lifestyle. I always follow each pet’s specific instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special care needs. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, extra attention, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment by making sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely regarding schedules, medications, routines, and behavior needs. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I monitor for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior and communicate updates with the owner as needed. I also keep litter boxes, cages, feeding areas, and walking equipment clean and sanitary. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. For cats and other pets, I make sure they receive appropriate feeding, enrichment, and a calm environment suited to their needs. Safety is always a priority, including secure doors, leashes, and supervision around other animals or hazards.

“Aubry did a fantastic job watching our dog. Our dog is older with a few health concerns, so we are particular about the type of care she receives when we are away. Aubry was thorough, responsive, and delivered exceptional care. Would 100% rebook!”

“Absolutely the best! Sara took such good care of my two cats throughout the holidays, enough to where my shy kitty even came out on her own within the week period. Sara was so responsive and kept me in the loop about my cats, along with catering to their special diets. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is - if you want someone who will take care of your pets like her own, look no further.”

I’m currently full time but I continue to make lots of time for animals. I work midday and nights at my job, so ranging from a 9-5 or a 1-9 every day of the week. I have a dog of my own so I know the importance of making sure they are given the attention and time they deserve. Including potty breaks and play time.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.

About: Everything is negotiable as far as how many pets, how many days or weeks involved, accommodation needed etc. so please message me if you have any questions. I prefer to house sit at your home but, again, I can be flexible! Im pretty empathetic towards animals so I’m aware that they need love, attention, and to be movin’, movin’! I work 3-4 days a week and go in at 4pm and I can get out anywhere from 10pm-12:30am. Checking in with your pet would be my first priority as soon as I got off of work. I will make sure doors, fences, crates (if used) are locked. Dog is always on leash when outside and constant monitoring of whereabouts as needed. Pets provide the best photo ops so expect a lot of updates and funny flicks ^-^

About: Through out my life I've had several different furry friends (and fish!). I have worked with all kinds of animals from ones that love to run and play to ones that would prefer to lounge around all day! I have several years of experience as a professional pet sitter, as well as having pets of my own. I can't wait to meet your babies! 😊❤️ I'm a seasonal worker, but have part-time availability year round! I currently have several regular clients that I visit on a daily, weekly, or as needed basis. Whatever you need, we can find a way to make it work! I am a strong believer in spending as much time with pets as possible, so I plan to enact that with your fur babies as well. I will send you pictures of your fur baby on walks or lounging on the couch with small updates.

Mandy was so great with our cats! They can be standoffish with strangers but by the end of the week they allowed her to pet them! She did all that we asked and around the same time each day. She even left a birthday present for Mika!!

Can’t say enough good things about my experience with Rover. Especially about my sitter, Tigue. She is the utmost professional and truly puts everything positive into her role as pet sitter. I was so comfortable right off the bat with our meet and greet and so was my cat, Amelia. She will be my go to sitter whenever I need one!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tuscarora

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 305 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tuscarora. 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 Tuscarora. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
