“Boddie loved playing with Amanda's dogs. He loved her fenced in backyard to run, run, run to burn off his energy. I appreciated Amanda giving me updates on how Boddie was doing. Especially after his first night. I was pleased to hear he was quiet through the night and the great communication she provided in light of drop off and pickup. Highly recommend!”
“Tina is outstanding. She is the utmost professional with a gentle and kind affection for our sweet rescue dog, Matcha. We can worry about leaving him because he is a flight risk but she made all of us feel at ease with her built-in safety precautions. Her home is beautiful and accommodating and Matcha clearly loved his "vacation" with her. We are 100% interested in working with Tina again in the future!”
“Hollie was a great caretaker for my dog, Odin. She has great communication and gave me udpates and sent me pictures constantly. Her dog Jovi is very sweet as well. Odin had a really good time there, for sure!”
“Diego&Amelia are great! They sent daily pictures and information about my doggies, they treated them as part of their family. My babies had a great time with them. Definitely recommended! If you are looking for a place to leave your dog, Diego&Amelia are the perfect family, they will make your dog feel welcome and loved!”
“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.”
“My dog had such a good time with Adrienne and her family! It was easy to see how happy and comfortable she felt when we went to pick her up. Adrienne kept us up to date on all the fun they were having with picture check ins and was quick with response times. We look forward to having her sit our girl again.”
“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!”
“Tielian and her family were SO amazing!!!! It is hard to leave your fur baby but they made me feel so comfortable and at ease. They provided us with pictures and even took my baby to the park! The pics were so cute and they were so good to my baby it almost made me cry at how good they were to him. They understood Mason can be anxious around larger dogs and just were so good. We will only use her moving forward!!”
“Alexa was amazing! She came in so clutch when we were in a pinch and now I will definitely be using her again. She sent frequent updates and pictures which helps ease my mind knowing he was having fun and well taken care of :)”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had seven dogs and six cats, so caring for pets was a part of my everyday life. From feeding and grooming to playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention, I learned early on what it takes to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for mice, turtles, and fish, giving me experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I’ve always had pets throughout my life, and caring for animals has never felt like a chore, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I also spend time feeding and observing backyard birds, which reflects my love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or another beloved pet, I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Although I have an unfenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. We also have a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks that are perfect for walks and exercise. If your pet is crate trained or you prefer they be crated when unattended or at bedtime, I’m happy to accommodate that routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own.
“Kaniya is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Her yard is big and her dogs matched the energy of mine; lots of tails were wagging! She was easy to communicate with and ensured my pup was safe through his entire duration of stay. When my pup displayed some rowdy behavior, she was sure to let me know in a most professional and understanding way, continually extending him patience and forgiveness in his moments of turbulence. I'm grateful she is calm and kind :-)”
“Sruthi and Abba took such wonderful care of our Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in loving hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even went the extra mile to make sure our picky little munchkin ate well, showing so much patience and genuine care. It was clear they treated Bruno like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will absolutely book with them again. We highly recommend Sruthi and Abba to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and caring home for their fur babies . Your furry family member will be in the best hands!”
“Kristin was a very kind, enthusiastic host for our dog, Wyatt! I am grateful to have found her and her awesome house of pets. I was nervous leaving him with a cat, as he barks at them on walks, but Dr. Boyfriend is the best! They got along so well. Her backyard is perfect for running around and I think she really helped our dog feel at ease. She is also very easy to communicate with. Thank you!”
“Rachel is the absolute BEST. Our dog loves her. She sends incredible updates and she is so kind. Our pup had a bellyache going into a 10 day trip overseas and I was very stressed about leaving him. Rachel assured me he would be fine and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of and provided updates on his status. She is honestly incredible.”
“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
About: Hi! I'm Vicki, and I offer overnight boarding in my home for small to medium dogs, with primary availability Friday through Monday and full-week bookings considered on a case-by-case basis. I've shared my home with dogs for over half my life and have experience caring for dogs who need medication, extra supervision, and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable giving medicine in pill, powder or liquid form, including syringe-administered liquids, though I do not administer injections. Your dog will stay in a loving, dog-friendly home with no resident pets, where they're welcome to relax on the furniture if that's part of their routine. We have pet stairs for dogs who can't or shouldn't jump, a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a walkable neighborhood for weather permitting walks. I work from home Fridays and Mondays and am in the office Tuesday through Thursday, so for longer stays I'm happy to discuss your dog's routine and whether they'd be comfortable with that schedule. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else and I'll treat your pup with the same patience, care, and attention I gave my own. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, typically from 8 am to 4 pm. I am in the office Tuesday through Thursday, so on those days I can provide morning care before 8 am and evening care when I return around 4 pm. For stays that include office days, I'll make sure your dog's routine and comfort being left alone are a good for before booking. My home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, and we live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with little traffic. In good weather, neighbors and families are often out walking so I'll always keep your dog's comfort level and leash manners in mind. I've cared for senior dogs in my home and still have many dog care supplies available, including gates, bowls, toys, beds, blankets and pet stairs. Dogs are welcome on the furniture if that's part of their routine, but I'm also happy to set up a bed or quiet space based on that they're used to at home. I do not currently have crates, so if your dog is crate trained or sleeps in a crate please plan to bring one for their stay.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Dana was someone I know I can trust with my best friend, May. It was clear that she cared about May's well-being and kept us updated with pictures and text about May and took into consideration we were away from her and enjoyed knowing she was having fun, eating well and getting outside for a run or a walk. I liked the idea that I could text Dana and get feedback anytime! I would not hesitate to take May over for our 'week' down the shore or anywhere for that matter. Thank You Dana for being such a good friend to the best dog I ever loved.”
About: I have had seven dogs throughout my life and currently have a friendly 7-year-old Beagle. I have also pet-sat dogs for family and friends over the years. Caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently don’t work and I am home all day so I can be with your dog most of the day and let them out frequently. I have a big fenced yard and like to walk dogs. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and responsibility that I would want for my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and communicate with the owner regularly so they know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
William was a great host/carer. It’s obvious he enjoys his four-legged guests and is attentive to their particular needs. He provided regular walks and playtime. He supplied us with daily updates and photos. When it came time for pick-up he was flexible and it was obvious that our pup had had a good time with William and his kids.
We had a wonderful experience with Patricia. She communicated exceedingly well and often. She treated our Furbaby as her own by taking her on daily walks, applying topical medication, and accommodating her sleeping preferences. We received daily pictures and updates, which provided us with reassurance and comfort.
I truly cannot recommend them enough. They watched Lemon for the past week while I was on an international trip, and they completely exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and communicative. I received so many photos and videos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind being so far away. It was obvious from every update that Lemon was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. Lemon isn’t the easiest dog to watch - he can be a little particular and act up sometimes - so I’m usually very selective about who I trust with him. But Brandi made me feel completely safe and reassured the entire time. When I picked him up today, he honestly seemed a little sad to leave, which says everything. He clearly felt at home and had so much fun running around at their place. They truly treated Lemon like their own, and that means the world to me. I’ve already booked them again in two weeks because I trust them fully. If you’re someone like me who worries about leaving your dog - especially if your pup can be a little high-maintenance — Brandi absolutely deserves Star Sitter status. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is caring, communicative, and genuinely loves the dogs she watches. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Lemon 🐾

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 Arcola 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 Arcola.
<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 Arcola 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.
