“Maria and her husband were amazing! I cannot thank them enough for caring for my baby like their own. They sent me daily updates and it was the most stress free I have ever been leaving my little guy somewhere! I will be using her again and recommending everyone to Maria!”
“Amazing! Was so awesome and loving to my dog and made him part of the family. Kept me updated on his stay with tons of cute pictures. I will always have my dog stay with Vivian when I am away.”
“Jessica was AMAZING and so sweet. She was very responsive and flexible coming up with a time for a meet and greet. She sent the funniest pictures of our pup while we were away and he had a blast. Safe to say he came back spoiled. I will for sure be booking again. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’d love to care for your furry family member. I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including a German Shepherd/Husky mix, as well as experience caring for farm animals. I also have my own Mini Australian Shepherd, Axel, so I understand the patience, exercise, and attention dogs need every day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family, providing plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, and supervision. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and my husband works from home full-time, so there is someone home throughout the day to provide supervision, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m home every evening and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off to spend extra time playing, walking, and giving your pup plenty of attention. I’ll make sure your dog gets the love, care, and routine they deserve while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate training, and any special requests. My Mini Australian Shepherd, Axel, is friendly and enjoys other dogs, but I always recommend a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Tamakia was so great to our two dogs! We have one grumpy old man who is fairly needy and doesn’t warm up to just anyone, but he absolutely adores her. We’ve now booked with Tamakia twice and each time received many updates and pictures. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Coralee is our go to sitter. She always takes good care of our little lady. We always get lots of pictures and updates which we appreciate very much. We have a few more boardings with her this summer and know that our dog is in good hands with her and her family.”
“Natasha was absolutely wonderful w/my dog. She kept in daily contact. My dog seemed healthy & rested when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Natasha to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my baby! I felt very comfortable the entire time Roxy was in her care. Even though it was short notice, Brittany was able to accommodate Roxy with ease. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone in need. Thanks for your help. Roxy and I look forward to another stay with Brittany in the future :)”
About: I have had dogs for my whole life and so I know that it takes to care for them. I work at a dog boarding facility at the moment and so I also have experience in a professional setting. I am currently working part time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pups! When I’m not at work I’m at the gym or at home! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your pups to play. I have a bernedoodle who is very sweet and loves to play with other dogs. I take Knawi to the dog park a lot and also on many walks, which I’m happy to bring your puppy as well.
“Jesse and his wife were amazing. They took care of our Sheepadoodle so well and communicated with us throughout her stay. We are grateful to have such an amazing pet sitter near us. Highly recommended!”
About: I always grew up with two dogs, and have taken care of many pets for neighbors, friends and family from a young age. Care has ranged from dog walking, giving allergy medicine, to pet sitting for 2 weeks at a time. I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to take care of any pets throughout the day without leaving them alone for long periods of time. I coach at Clarion, and aside from practices or competitions, my schedule is very flexible so I can easily make trips to frequently take care of your pets I am near a lot of great walking spaces, and love to pet and play with animals. They are also welcome to be on the couch or bed
About: Experienced dog walker and pet care taker. I want to take care of pets during the week so my dog Mabel has friends to interact with. I work full time remote as an engineer, so I am at home most of the time. I let Mabel out at least 4 times day and we go for a nice walk after work. I have a big unfenced yard with a 30 ft radius dog leash. Very nice neighborhood to walk in. Lots of space in the apartment and can be separated comfortably if needed.
About: A deep love for dogs of all ages and breeds. I can accommodate any thing you need or want. I can help with any training your working on and or medications. I will walk them and give them all my time, love, and attention. I can watch your pet anytime. I am home 24 hours a day. This is my only job. I can accommodate to anyone's schedule time. I am home 24 hours a day and only have one cat that is good with other animals. I have a yard that I can tie them out and a big field where I can walk them.
“Stephanie was great and very loving with our senior chihuahua. She accommodated us to make sure her home was the safest for his stay. We really appreciated all the photos and prompt responses.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for many different species. Along with caring for dogs and cats, I also have experience training and taking care of exotic animals like seals and sea lions, which has taught me patience, strong observation skills, and the importance of positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable working with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether that means helping keep a puppy on a routine, giving extra patience to a shy pet, or making sure a senior pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own I am currently a full-time student at UNCW, so I do have a pretty busy schedule. Monday through Thursday, I am usually busy with classes and other responsibilities from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Outside of those hours, I have more flexibility and can make pet care part of my daily routine. I would be able to provide care in the mornings before class, later in the afternoon, and in the evenings. I am also more available on Fridays and weekends. I am used to balancing multiple responsibilities, so I am comfortable planning my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care a pet may need. I make sure all of the basic necessities are taken care of, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, and sticking as closely as possible to the pet’s normal routine. I also give them lots of attention, love, and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is cleaned up after each visit, including food areas, accidents, litter boxes if needed, and any toys or supplies used. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. My goal is to keep them safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

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.

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.
93% of sitters in Applewold 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 Applewold 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 Applewold.
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 Applewold. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Applewold 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.
