“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!”
“This was our second time using Kathleen. She’s the best, very accommodating and treats our Maxey like her own pup. We feel very lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Olive took great care of Hershey, he was very comfortable with her and must have played hard, he went to bed early after we picked him up! We will be using Olive again when the need arises.”
“Mary was great! We especially enjoyed all of the pictures she sent while we were away, the communication was wonderful. We will definitely be booking with Mary again.”
“Roxie had a great stay at Diego & Amelia’s house. I loved the pictures they sent each day. Reassured me she was being taken care of and having a good time with their family. I loved that they took her for long walks and tired her out. She loved having the children and other dogs around. My favorite picture was of the 3 dogs sleeping together. I will definitely leave Roxie with them again.”
“It was such a pleasure leaving our dog overnight with Rachel and her husband. You can tell what dog-lovers they are! Even though it was only for one night, Rachel sent pictures and videos to keep us updated on the goings on of our pup. It set our minds at ease knowing we could enjoy the holiday without worrying. We’ll be sure to use Rachel again!”
“Our dog Poncho stayed with Chonlada for a week while we were on vacation and we could not take him with us. She was very flexible and agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Poncho and her dog Tokie were similar in size, age, and activity level so they seemed to get along great. She has a large fenced property for the dogs to explore and run around. I got daily updates as well as pictures and videos of Poncho, which made my family and I feel better about leaving him. Chonlada and her family took great care of Poncho (spoiled him...lol) and made sure he ate his meals and slept comfortably. They also comforted him during a thunder storm, which he does not like. Chonlada even contacted me when she noticed that Poncho was licking his paws and had a small abrasion, which she treated and monitored. Thanks so much to Chonlada and her family and I would definitely recommend her for boarding and will use again when needed.”
“Hiring Dana to dogsit Buster was the best decision. We usually board him at the vet, but wanted a change so that he would have a more social, active and fun experience. Dana was thoughtful, caring, communicative and flexible throughout the entire process (from booking to pickup). She took excellent care of Buster with specific attention to our requests. She sent us many wonderful photos of his daily activities, which included several nature and park walks. Buster had his own little vacation exploring new places while we enjoyed ours in complete peace of mind. We happily give Dana the highest praise and rating with respect to our experience with her. She is a true animal lover and a nice person.”
“Rebecca was so great with Birdie!! She was well taken care of and I received updates every day. I could tell Birdie was tired when she got home from her time with her. Will definitely book with Rebecca again in the future. 🙂”
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I also previously worked at a pet hospital, where I helped care for animals and became comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I’m attentive to the little things and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, meals, and companionship without rushing. I genuinely love animals and enjoy having them around, so caring for pets feels like something I naturally make time for every day. It really depends on the pet and the service. I like to stick to their normal routine as much as I can and give them whatever they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just someone around. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to give them attention and make sure they’re comfortable.
“Jennifer provided an amazing and comfortable environment for our dog Blaze. I could tell instantly that Blaze was safe and happy in her care. Jennifer has lots of dogs that know how to play and have fun. Overall, it was a great experience and I can’t recommend Jennifer enough.”
“I’ve used this dog sitter twice for extended trips, and both experiences were wonderful. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, and my pup was happy, well cared for, and comfortable each time. I returned home to a relaxed, healthy dog and couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Kiara, as always, was wonderful with our Lulu! We had some last minute shifts in plans and Kiara was consistently kind, flexible and open with communication. You can tell she truly cares about all the dogs she takes care of! Couldn’t recommend Kiara more!”
“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!”
“Andrea watched our two young labs for several days in her home. She clearly loves labs (and our boys) and took excellent care of them. It was very easy to communicate with her, she sent us frequent updates, and put us at ease. We will definitely use Andrea again. Very highly recommended.”
“Wonderful communication with lots of pictures. Bailey looked very happy. ELectra was very understanding and stayed up late when our plane was very delayed. It could not have been a better experience.”
“Bill was a fabulous caregiver for our dog! I am so happy to have found him! He sent us pictures and updates every day!! And was a super nice person and very organized!!!! Can’t wait til next trip for our pup to go back!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Acorn
Shamira took good care of our girl, Rosie, while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and we could see our pup’s tail was high and happy. Rosie had been there before and was happy when she arrived for another stay. Shamira was very flexible and kind when our trip was extended because of travel delays.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
