“Johanny and her family did a great job caring for my fur baby! Johanny was super flexible; she kept in touch with me and sent me pictures/videos. I’d recommend and would love to have Tucker back in Johanny’s care again!”
“Kathleen is reliable, highly observant, and genuinely passionate about animals. This was observable through her friendly and warm demeanor, and compassionate verbal and physical interactions with Haru and his responsiveness to her. Her photo update was sincerely appreciated and gave a secure sense of transparency. The environment was clean, organized and provided ample free space for indoor and outdoor movement.”
“At this point David has become family. I am truly grateful to have found such a kindhearted and genuine person to look after my baby. I had an urgent need for his services and he responded right away. His kind words were much needed during my trip, and as always he kept me updated on Phoenix. I knew from our first contact that David had an amazing spirit. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and support during my time of travels.”

“Laura and her family is the sweetest dogsitter family! She kept me updated on how Momo is doing and took pictures for me. She was super accomodating to my last minute extension. I would highly, highly, highly recommend her to anyone in the area! Thank you, Laura and family for taking such good care of my princess while I was away.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Sharon! This was the first time we left our puppy Lake with her, and she immediately put our minds at ease. She sent daily updates, photos, and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured that our puppy was having a great time. It was obvious from every update that our puppy was happy, loved, and very well cared for. Sharon was incredibly attentive, flexible, and treated Lake like one of her own. When we picked her up, she seemed so comfortable and content, which speaks volumes about the care she received. We are so grateful for the love and attention Sharon gave our puppy and would not hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apps
If Rover allowed us to give 100 stars, we’d give every single one to Deanna. Wimble isn’t “just our dog.” He’s our family, our best friend, our service dog, and one of the stars of our Amazon Prime TV series The Ghost Finders. Because of that, trusting someone else with his care has never been something we take lightly. Then we found Deanna. From the moment she came into Wimble’s life, it was obvious she had a truly special gift. She has an incredible ability to connect with dogs in a way that’s difficult to describe. Wimble absolutely adores her, and seeing the excitement on his face whenever he sees her tells us everything we need to know. Deanna doesn’t just care for Wimble, she loves him. She has become his trainer, his handler on set, his biggest cheerleader, and someone we trust completely. Whether she’s working with him, taking him on adventures, or simply giving him affection and reassurance, she always treats him as if he were her own. As television producers, our schedules can be hectic and unpredictable, but we’ve never once worried when Wimble is with Deanna. That’s one of the greatest gifts anyone can give a pet owner: complete peace of mind. Her professionalism, reliability, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals are second to none. She consistently goes above and beyond, and we honestly can’t imagine a better person to have in Wimble’s life. Deanna has become more than a Rover sitter to us. She’s become part of Team Wimble and part of our extended family. Thank you, Deanna, for loving our boy as fiercely as we do, for helping him grow, and for always treating him with such kindness and respect. We are more grateful than words can express. Anyone lucky enough to have Deanna care for their dog should consider themselves incredibly fortunate. She is simply the very best. ❤️🐾

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 Apps 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 Apps.
<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 Apps 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.
