“Amber took such good care of my girl that I don’t think she wanted to come home. Amber was super responsive to messages, let me know when she had her meds, and sent lots and lots of pictures. It was such a relief to have someone we can trust watch our baby. Thank you Amber!!❤️”

“Sarah took amazing care of our Goldendoodle, Olympia, while we were away. This was Olympia’s first boarding experience, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Sarah made us feel at ease from the start. She communicated quickly, sent regular updates and photos, and kept us informed throughout the stay. Olympia looked happy, was eating well, and clearly had a great time playing. We also had to extend our trip unexpectedly, and Sarah was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we truly appreciated. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Olympia was in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you again, Sarah!”

“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”

He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up there’s always been at least 1 dog and cat in our home. My fiancé and I currently have two pups of our own, including one with epilepsy, so I’m comfortable with medications, special care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and my goal is always to become your pet’s new best friend (with plenty of treats, walks, belly rubs, and a few silly conversations along the way). I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! I work a hybrid schedule, so on the days my calendar shows I’m available, I’m working from home and have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, so I try to keep their normal routine as much as possible — same feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. In my home, pets become part of the family! I have two pups of my own, so I understand the importance of making sure everyone feels comfortable, supervised, and included. I’m happy to provide a calm environment with lots of playtime, cuddles, and attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pets on their usual schedule, send updates and pictures, and make sure you come home to happy, well-cared-for pets.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping both pets and their owners. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to caring for animals. I'm a proud dog owner and have two cats, so I understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, and a consistent routine. As a parent of young children involved in sports, I'm active, organized, and used to managing busy schedules. My flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your pet company while you're away. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I'll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home and live right in town. This gives me great flexibility in my day to meet your needs as well as a close travel distance. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by the owner.

I appreciate her dedication and patience for making my dog, and myself, feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while I was out of town. Thank you Tara!”

About: Your pup will be treated like family! I’m a dependable dog owner with experience in walks, feeding, playtime, potty routines, and basic care. I’m patient, loving, and focused on keeping every dog happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care.

I have a fenced yard for supervised play and a friendly dog for companionship. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and crate instructions carefully

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 Alden 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 Alden.

<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 Alden 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.
