“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Becky stayed with our two eccentric and very spoiled dogs for a week. We have never left them before and were very anxious! She sent pictures and texted every day! We couldn’t have been happier with her loving care of them. We will take another short trip in September and Becky will care for them. I can’t imagine anyone giving them more love and attention and going the extra mile to make them comfortable than Becky.”
“Sandy was wonderful taking care of our senior dog and puppy. She made sure to give updates on the dogs and also sent pictures. I knew they were in good hands with Sandy. Will definitely be using Sandy in the future.”
“We booked Kari to housesit and watch our two hound mixes for a week while we took a much needed vacation. One of our pups is diabetic and needs to have her blood glucose level tested before eating meals and receiving insulin injections. As you can imagine, we were very nervous to leave our pups with someone. Kari was AWESOME. She took excellent care of our pups, was detailed about the care she was giving to our pups each day, and communicated with us throughout our trip, reassuring us with pictures and details about the dogs so that we were able to enjoy our vacation. I truly felt like having Kari with our pups was like having a guardian angel watching over them. I would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you, Kari!”
About: I’ve pet sat for my neighbors whenever they’ve gone on long trips, taking care of feeding, walks, and general companionship so their pets feel comfortable and safe while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently studying for my CPA exam, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I can study anywhere and take breaks whenever needed, which means I’m able to be flexible with visit times too. Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, and any specific rules they have. I double-check that doors and gates are locked before and after each visit, keep pets on leash during walks unless told otherwise, and watch closely for any signs of stress or illness. I send photo and text updates so owners always know their pet is safe and comfortable while they’re away!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, specifically German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong personalities. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs, from highly protective working dogs to total goofballs, and I know every dog has their own personality and needs. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, so I’m used to handling different routines, energy levels, and temperaments. I currently work part-time and am a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to work with specific routines since I know consistency is important for pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that seriously. I always try to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and any changes that seem off, and I’ll keep you updated so you feel informed while you’re away.
“Hanna was a perfect match for my kitty Princess while I was away from home. I could tell she was making a special attempt to connect with Princess by the multiple update pictures showing her doing her favorite things and giving in to her peculiar whims. I recommend her 100% for anyone looking for the extra TLC in looking after their fur kids while they're away.”
“Brittany is clearly an expert when it comes to pet sitting. She took such great care of my dog Eddie, was quick to respond, and even took the time to clean the place before she left! It brought me such peace of mind to know Eddie was in such good hands!”
About: I really like to meet animals where they are. If they are high energy and love to play then that is what we will be doing. If they are a lounge on the couch kind of dog then I will lay with them. I currently have one dog and I have been able to teach him many tricks like roll and high five! I also have 3 cats who keep me busy but in a good way! I have dog sat before many times but I am excited to meet new animals on Rover. I work full time on the weekdays from 7:45-4. I would also be able to be at your home for a few minutes during my lunch break depending on the location. I have full availability Friday night - Sunday night I always make sure that I am following their routine and doing things the way that you would do them! I will ask any questions if I have them to make sure I am doing everything right. The animals would never be able to escape as I am very careful with doors and I always wrap leashed around my wrist for a second layer of protection
“Jaden quickly won over both our doggos and cats. He even managed to get our super duper scaredy cat to like him! He diligently provided the additional care we requested like watering plants, taking them for walks, and playing with their favorite toys. We also came home to a well kept home. We will be using him again and highly recommend.”
About: There has always been a pet in the home since childhood, I’ve watched and taken care of 5 personally owned dogs from puppyhood to adulthood! I have babysat my aunts cat Tammy for a few months now, and I have taken care of my own dog Maestro when my parents are on vacation, or need an extra pick-me-up. I also have been volunteering at Humane Society of Harrisburg for about a few months now! I have always had a huge heart towards animals of all personalities and sizes. I’ve worked with nervous big dogs, to crazy little puppies! I would be more than willing to meet your amazing animal someday! 😊💕 I have access to a car, so I am easily able to provide as much time and energy as your animal needs. I also do not have a typical job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be super respectful of your space and keep notes about certain things your animal needs, and provide spectacular feedback on how your animal is feeling, how the day went, overall what happened during my service! I am a wonderful listener and I learn extremely quickly.
“Emina and Jackson were amazing! They sent me so many pictures throughout my trip. My dogs take a little while to warm up to people and they were very patient and came to meet them before so the dogs could get to know them. I will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Allyson did an amazing job taking care of Moo Moo for us while we were away. I gave her a lot of advanced warning about Moo Moo not being friendly with other dogs and she followed the proper protocol necessary in order to keep Moo Moo safe. Allyson also left the house in the same condition we left it in. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Isabella was amazing! She went above and beyond with our pets. I enjoyed receiving daily updates and pictures. When I got home, the house was clean, the animals were very happy and very well taken care of. Isabella definitely went the extra mile. I absolutely recommend her.!!”
“Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
“Best dog sitter ever! So understanding, engaging, and positive. We’re super appreciative for Lauren going above and beyond for our puppy and would love to have her sit for the pup again as she loved lauren!!”
“Sydney was fantastic! This was our first time using an in-home Rover sitter for our puppy, Theo, and she gave us complete peace of mind while we were away for six nights. She sent regular updates and photos, took great care of Theo and our home, and was very responsive throughout the stay. Our flight home was delayed, and she was kind enough to stay an extra couple of hours, which took a lot of stress off our family. We came home to a happy puppy and a house that was just as we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring house sitter.”
About: I have loved and owned dogs my entire life. While I love all dogs, large dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I have cared for a Rottie/lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and Doodle mixes. Whether it’s going for a walk, having an high energy play session, or just hanging out, I’m down to do anything with your pup! I can also handle grooming and giving oral medication if needed. I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
About: I have a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up in a family that always had pets. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I have also provided dog walking and pet sitting services for friends and family, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications when needed, taking dogs on regular walks, providing exercise and companionship, maintaining their routines, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention and dedication, ensuring they receive the same love, routine, and care they would at home. I will be beginning a new job as a PA in the near future, but until then I have a very flexible schedule and can devote 100% of my time and attention to the pets in my care. Even as I transition into my career, I will only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet continues to receive the reliable, attentive care they deserve. You can trust me to be reliable, punctual, and highly communicative through every visit! treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your pet's routine. I am highly trained in reading animal body language, comfortable handling medical emergencies, and will send you daily photo updates for complete peace of mind.

Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!
Elizabeth was extremely reliable and concerned for our dog’s welfare. She followed her medication regimen as closely as Wrigley made possible, and sought clarification when necessary. She was friendly and pleasant to work with. We would definitely recommend her and book her again.
Christie took good care of our two pups while we were out of town celebrating Thanksgiving with our family. One of our dogs is suffering from a medical condition and Christie administered scheduled medication and physically assisted our little guy up and down the stairs. Christie sent pictures each day and the doggies were well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 635 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wertzville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wertzville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wertzville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wertzville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
