“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael & Loraine! It was our first time leaving Bomi with someone outside of family, and they were so patient, kind, and reassuring from the start — answering all our questions and even inviting us to see their clean, spacious home before booking. While we were away, they kept in touch with thoughtful updates and photos, and it was clear Bomi was happy, comfortable, and loved like family. We’re so grateful for their care, attention, and kindness, and would absolutely trust them with Bomi again. Highly recommend!”
“Tyler was so sweet and gentle with my puppies! Our family is new to PA and didn't know who to board with until we found Tyler. Tyler was easy to communicate with, coordinated pick up/ drop off smoothly and helped load the dogs with their stuff. Deuce and Reyna did not want to eat during their stay but Tyler communicated with me regarding his own concerns in the matter, therefore showing general care for them. I received pictures and all my questions where answered promptly and appropriately. Tylers backyard and home is welcoming and very well put together/clean. Dogs returned happy and healthy :) thank you!”
“Dana took great care of our dog, Max, during his first overnight stay. She sent photos and kept us updated on how Max was doing. We have already booked Max for a week stay at Dana’s while we are on vacation.”
“I’m extremely pleased with Mariia. She is very diligent and took very good care of our dog while we were gone for almost a week. The communications was excellent!”
“Alyssa took such good care of Charlie! She provided him a safe environment where it was clear that he was very comfortable - so much so that he didn't want to leave! I am grateful for her excellent care and superb communication. Charlie is asking when he can go back!”
“Andrew and Jacklynn were fantastic sitters for our pup, Stella. We needed boarding very last minute and they were so accommodating to our needs and loving to Stella. Their pup Rocky is so sweet and gentle (my daughter loved petting him!) and was easygoing with Stella. I felt great going away for 4-5 days knowing she had pup friends and great humans caring for her. Definitely will choose them again and highly recommend!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Chip. She kept me posted on how she was doing and sent pictures of Chip racing around her large fenced-in back yard. I will definitely be using Amanda again.”
“Josie, our little covid terrier, loves Ruth and her family !! Ruth is so loving and kind and sends many pictures and videos. She was also very flexible about drop offs and pickups as well as my daughter coming to take the puppy for a night in the middle of our booking - which I'm sure was a nuisance josie specially loves ruths daughter”
“Heather had her hands full with my 7 month old lab/husky puppy. She accepted the challenge and took great care of Meadow. I appreciated the updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Heather as a pet sitter.”
“Stacey was great with Bella! She is super friendly and I really appreciated her daily updates with pics. It unexpectedly stormed during Bella’s visit and Stacey helped comfort her through the thunder and lightning. I definitely recommend Stacey and will use her services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs and cats. Given medications when required. Long dog walks, trips to dog parks, belly rubs, games, pup cups, a fenced in yard with sprinklers and a puppy pool during hot weather. I use the WoofTrax app to document walks send photos to owners. The cats get play time and cuddles and ear scratches to make them purring. I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets from friends and family. I am currently semi-retired and working from home. I love taking care of pets and provide a warm, friendly environment. I have a fenced in yard, my dog loves playing with other animals. I can go to your home if you prefer and I’ll bring the toys and treats to keep your pet happy.
About: I’m a former vet nursing student looking to earn extra money through pet sitting. I have experience with exotics including birds and reptiles as well as rabbits. I’ve been helping with my family’s business since the age of 13 and have a decent amount of medical knowledge so I can help with your pets who may need insulin or other life saving medications. Your pets will be in safe hands with me. I'm currently on a break from work due to taking care of myself as well as figuring out career paths. I will be spending all my time with your baby if they stay with us and I'll be happy to provide as many walks as you'd like. I have multiple pet gates and multiple floors for the safety of the pets. I am happy to try and trim your dogs nails as well as give them a bath before they head home. I am very attentive with medications and watching for medical needs as I have a background in veterinary nursing. I am also comfortable if your pet requires insulin or any other form of medication!
“Gregory watched our mini golden for 6 days and was super communicative keeping us updated on how she was adjusting and sending lots of pictures. She had a great time”
“William and Kristen took EXCELLENT care of our dog Max. Their fenced in yard is huge, they walked Max daily, gave him his pills at night. The family dog Rooney is awesome-Max enjoyed his time with him. Also they sent several photos throughout his stay...Thank you so much!”
“We will definitely be checking for Rebecca’s availability next time we need a dog sitter she was so great with our pup. She sent a lot of updates and pictures and treated Jackie like her own. Thanks again Rebecca!”
“SIQI was the best dog sitter we have ever had for our 2 medium to large dogs. She was extremely responsive and very kind. She had dogs before and knows how to care for dogs really well. She went above and beyond for our girls. One of our girls nails chipped and she quickly sent a picture and followed up with what she did. We are looking forward to having her care for our girls in the future!”
“Holly was wonderful with Apollo! He’s a senior dog, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She was easy to communicate with and very attentive — we loved getting daily photo updates of how he was doing! Apollo seemed very comfortable with her, and we would absolutely book with Holly again. Highly recommend. Thank you, Holly! ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kat and Matt! They took great care of our two dogs over the weekend and made sure we always felt connected by sending regular photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with them again!”

Shamira was amazing with Loki. She send me updates daily and made sure to let me know how Loki was doing throughout the day. She was super flexible with drop off and pick up which I really appreciated and was comfortable administering his eye medication. We’re definitely booking with her again. Thank you Shamira!
Phil has stayed with Lynda a few times now and everytime he comes back relaxed, rested, and energized. Lynda provides a variety of pictures including stimulating activities (eg walks and play time) and great relaxed/sleeping pics. She also provides clear and prompt communication including concerns and considerations (eg whether another dog will be present) and works with you to ensure drop off and pick up are a breeze. Can’t recommend Lynda enough
Jason took Maxi in on a short notice and took such great care of her! We are always nervous about leaving her with others but she just looked so calm and happy in all of the pictures that he sent, which put us at ease the entire time. I would highly recommend his services!
Andrew was wonderful from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and flexible- we had to adjust our days after booking due to an unexpected funeral and he made the changes quickly. Our dog got really great care with frequent updates and pics and it was very clear Andrew really enjoys taking care of animals! Would highly recommend. Thank you!!
Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Acorn is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $67 per night. 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 3,467 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Acorn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% of sitters in Acorn 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 Acorn 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 Acorn.
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 Acorn. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
You and your Acorn 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.
