“Brittany and her family were very attentive and loving toward our two dogs during their one week stay! She requested a meet and greet, which put our minds at ease. Communication, and photo updates were very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend her to others needing quality care. Thank you!”
“Tina was great. The nice perk is she has a big yard and a doggie door so my Yorkie could go in and out of her house whenever he wanted to. He is very attached to people and she took very good care of him!”
“Such an amazing diamond in the rough sitter if you have a dog that you have a strict routine and schedule with ! My German shepherd puppy needs structure and a quality experience and she got it here. It took me so long to find a sitter who actually understands true dog training and obedience. Who also doesn’t just have a ton of other dogs there. So lucky to have found a dog savvy sitter!”
“Haley was wonderful with my dog Sunnie! Sunnie was relaxed and looked like part of the family when I picked her up! Haley sent me photos during Sunnie’s stay with her that put my mind at ease. I will definitely use Haley again and highly recommend her!”
“Emily took excellent care of my Barkley while I was traveling for a family wedding. Barkley was dealing with some seasonal allergies, and Emily sent me updates daily to let me know how he was feeling. He needed to take some medications and supplements during his stay, and Emily did a great job providing those, as needed. This was Barkley's first visit, and he enjoyed exploring the fenced yard and spending time with Emily's dogs. It was nice to know that Barkley was well cared for while I was away!”
“I’d been searching for a sitter after moving back to the area and the search is over! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my Barry was having a great time with Carol and her pups and getting all the cuddles. Carol sent updates and cute pictures of him getting plenty of love. We look forward to having a reliable person who makes it easy to enjoy my time away!”
“Amanda was very kind and patient with us and our french bulldog, Echo. Echo is a protective dog. He barks and growls a lot when meeting new people. I could immediately tell she had experience with this kind of behavior. She was calm and let Echo warm up to her on his own time. It was very reassuring that I was leaving Echo with a pro! I would give Amanda 10 stars. I am glad to have found a kind and experienced caregiver.”
“Responsive, caring , kind and supportive sitter. My dog developed some allergies and began coughing when I left my dog with Chris. Chris went out of his way to help Pluto feel better. He even picked up medicine’s for Pluto. Cuddled him and gave him loads of love. He was constantly updating us and kept us in loop and ensured we didn’t take stress while we were away. Deeply appreciated his kindness towards Pluto. Thank you Chris 🙏Highly recommended! 10 stars !”
“Alysia is, without a doubt, the most spectacular human being I have ever encountered—and I’m not just saying that because she’s my best friend and knows all my secrets. She routinely defies the laws of time and space to go above and beyond for people, casually pulling off miracles even when her own schedule is a chaotic mess. Most importantly, she loves my fur babies like they are her own biological offspring, which means she is officially the favorite aunt. Whenever life decides to throw a curveball, Alysia is already there, cape on, stepping in to make sure absolutely everything is under control. 11/10 stars, highly recommend this human.”
“Victoria was a phenomenal sitter for our pup Luna. Victoria was super responsive before and during Luna’s stay with her, and Luna enjoyed having lots of room and other doggy friends to play with during her staycation. The best part was receiving frequent photos and updates from Victoria, which always brightened our day. I highly recommend Victoria for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Winston had another great stay with Debbie and Adam! I received numerous updates throughout his 5 day stay. I’m so glad I found them. He comes home happy, content, and tired!! He has so much fun there!”
“Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”
“What an amazing family this is! I could not say enough wonderful things about them! They took such amazing care of my Frankie (very needy frenchie)! I was nervous as we have never left our dog before. They gave us updates multiple times a day and really set my mind at ease leaving him. I would highly recommend for any pet care needs! I will definitely be booking with them again! I wish I could leave 100 stars!”
“Wade was fantastic! We will definitely be using him again! Tito had a blast spending the weekend with Wade and would love to go back. He took him hiking and on long walks to tire him out. He sent daily updates with lots of pictures. This was our first time leaving our pup and Wade made the experience as stress free as possible. Thank you for making Tito feel right at home and caring for him like he was your pup while we were away.”
“Tyler was great with my dog Riley! She immediately took to his house and yard, as well as Tyler himself. He was flexible in terms of scheduling a meet-and-greet that was kinda last minute and was professional. He also provided plenty of photo updates of Riley throughout the stay. Overall, I would definitely use Tyler again for dog sitting.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! If I could give her a higher rating, I would. Her and her family treated my dog as if he was their own. She has a beautiful, fenced in back yard that allowed my dog to be outdoors without any worries! I know she was very attentive to him at all times, kept us updated everyday and sent several pictures which made my kids very happy! My pup does not like kennels and this was an alternative and it turned out to be the greatest experience for my dog and our family! Would definitely love for her to care for my dog anytime!! Thank you Elizabeth and your family!!”
“This is the second time Justin has watched my dog. He once again did a great job. We'll continue to work with Justin any time we need someone to care for our dog while we're away.”

Brittany was kind and calm with our Huckleberry. She worked with him on house training even and he had an accident free weekend. That alone is amazing! It was clear he enjoyed his stay and was happy as a clam when we picked him up. We will be using her again when I'm the area.

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.
95% of sitters in Alverton 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 Alverton 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 Alverton.
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 Alverton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Alverton 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.
