About: I have been a dog sitter/cat sitter, off and on for 20 years. I love animals! I treat and love them as if they were my own. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have plenty of yard around my home. I prefer smaller dogs, but I am flexible. Must be good with kids! I have a 14 year old who loves animals and can't wait to give them attention they need. I will be happy to come get your dog or meet you prior to watching your dog. I have a full-time job. I leave the house around 8, and I'm home most days by 4:00. My husband will be here to help out as needed. I will walk them, play and care for them as they are my own. I own a large crate so if you are crate training I can be consistent and provide that service.
“Nyla was an amazing Rover! She was able to work with us last minute and was very flexible. She was also amazing with our difficult dog! Can't wait to book with her in the future.”
“Emma was so responsive and reliable when I needed someone to drop in on my pup. I got lots of pictures and updates while I was away, which made the whole experience so much better. Emma put me at ease and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!
“Rachel is so kind and so loving with the animals. We have two cats. One has kidney disease. One has recurrent UTIs. Both have separation anxiety when their people are away for even 24-36 hrs. When Rachel came and met us and our kitties, I knew that she would be able to put them at ease and look out for any health situations that may arise. She handled all the special food directions and medications, and I was able to feel confident that the kitties were super safe. That peace of mind is invaluable. We love Rachel and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Jessica is absolute amazing! When our regular sitter had to back out at the last minute, Jessica was able to step in and make sure our pups were well taken care of. Our fur babies absolutely loved spending time with her!”
About: I have over 40 years of experience owning and caring for cats and dogs. They seem to know my affection for them when we meet! I am working part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am available Monday through Sunday! Your pet will be loved! I will walk and feed your pet as instructed. I always like to spend time with your cat or dog to give play and affection.

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs, now help with my dad’s dog, have watched several seasons of dog training shows and just genuinely like animals. We have chickens, a cat and my dad’s (once upon a time service) dog with us as well. I’m currently caretaking for my father with the help of caregivers and do not have major obligations during the day and have my youngest still at home with me so I’ll have plenty of time to dog walk or just check in on them while you are away. We currently have my dad’s service dog and I had two dogs growing up whom I loved dearly. I have also had cats and my daughter currently has one whom I care for since my daughter is young. I feel each individual person cares for their pets in the way that is best for them. I will be sure to care for your animal in the way you believe is best!
“Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have had dogs as pets my entire life. I love being around pups and caring for them. Let me take care of your furry friends and take the task off of your plate! I currently work as a registered behavior technician, so my main availability is week days after 3pm, and some weekends with enough notice. I can do most of the day Sunday as well. Because I have 2 dogs in my home currently, I would come to your home and care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I can do overnight stays, pop-ins, or periodic walks around the park/neighborhood.
“Our trip was over St. Patrick’s Day and while taking good care of our dog, she also ‘sprung’ the leprechaun trap my kids had made and left glitter footprints and a surprise for them. Our packages and trash was brought in and we came home to a happy dog and the kids were thrilled.”
About: Growing up, we had all kinds of animals. I had indoor pups, outdoor pups, and cats! I adore animals so much and want to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and loved on! I’m in college, so I have plenty of free time! I can do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and evenings. As well, I can do anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Scheduling will just depend on appointments, homework, and whatever else I may have going on that day. I can easily meet your needs! I’ve cared bigger for pets and smaller, and have had no issues. I don’t get easily startled by pets, so I find it easy playing, attaching leashes and collars, and feeding them! As well keep and extra eye on my senior cat to make sure everything is going smoothly for him, so I will always do the same for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,123 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Zacharytown. 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.

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.
