About: I have been taking care of my own and friends dogs ever since I was young. From puppies to middle aged dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, and training them. I am currently a student athlete with classes and practices in the mornings with open afternoons most days of the week. I only have 1 late afternoon class on Tuesdays which makes me available mid day. I focus on providing reliable, loving care and following each pet owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, given fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I adapt my care to their routine and personality while keeping their safety and comfort my top priority.

About: I currently have baby-Neo, who’s a German Shepherd and Great Dane mix. However, I have worked with Rottweilers, labs, and boxers previously. My experience includes special feeding/diets, walks, playing, baths etc. I plan to offer walks and/or home visits. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to assist. Visits and walks would be 30 min, and if feeding or any other special request is needed related to your pets, (including additional time!) please feel free to let me know in the initial visit to discuss. I would like to ask for an initial meeting to meet the pet(s) and go over the expectations regarding the services. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry babies! I am currently working part time job with flexible hours. However, my passion is dogs and looking to expand my experience/network and work with them more often! Strictly follow owners’ instructions! The owners are best suited to provide instructions on how to care for the pets which includes feeding any special diets, how to walk them etc. you can expect your directions, no matter how long to be strictly followed!

“Katheryn was amazing! This was our first time using a dog sitter. After booking she scheduled a visit to our house to meet our Dog Violet and firm up plans for the weekend. She checked in with each visit which included long walks and pics which our kids loved to see. You can tell she loves her job and animals. It was a great easy experience and we highly recommend Katheryn!!”

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life. I have a strong love for them and all animals, I always have taken care of my own like bathing them and feeding them and I’m great at taking care of other dogs as well. Pet care is something i’ve always been interested in and I always will make time for it. If people need me to take care of their animal then I will be there. I have a small fenced in part in my yard and I have a small dog already at my house. I feed my dog, take my dog out, and play outside with her with her ball in the fenced in area. If I’m at the pet owner’s home, I will do the same: take the pet(s) out, play with them, feed them, give them water, and whatever else they will ask me to do.

“Amy is awesome! My two dogs are really anxious around new people and that makes me anxious, but because of how calm and capable Amy is, everything went really well! She did drop-in visits 4 days in a row while my husband was working and while I was out of town. She sent me TONS of pictures and updates which was great! My dogs warmed up to her very quickly and by the end of the 4 days I think they thought she was a member of the family! When she took them for a walk, one of my dogs got muddy and she cleaned her up for us. I'm so glad we found Amy and I can't wait to use her when we go out of town at the end of this month! :)”

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and have always helped care for them. I honestly really miss having them around and would love to help care for your animals. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but am open to helping out with cats as well. I plan to follow each animal's specific feeding, walking, and medication schedule. Just let me know the details, and I'll stick to the routine the animal is accustomed to. I ethically believe animals should be treated with respect and care. Therefore, I'll treat your animal as if it were my own, with love and care. I plan to follow whatever type of feeding, walking, medication management schedule each animal has.

Sophia is always amazing, kind, and reliable in caring for our kittyboi Enso, and we are so grateful that we can leave home for a few days with no worries whatsoever, knowing that she visits him and gives him his liquid heart medicine twice every day 😺💗

Did great with mine and my husband’s cats. Took extra care with both of them and gave them much needed attention while we were away. Plenty of updates were given so that we could know what was going on and my husband felt much more at ease knowing Charles was taking care of them.

Alex did a great job with our four pets while we were away. She communicated with us on every visit including pictures of each pet. Upon our return home, everything was as we left it and Alex had followed our instructions exactly. We will be requesting Alex again in the future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Washington Mills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Washington Mills is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $16 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Washington Mills. 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 Washington Mills. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
