“Diego and Amelia took care of my dog for an entire day so I could focus on moving. They kept him for 4 hrs longer than planned. They were completely understanding and I felt comfortable the entire time.”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Finn, in Chonlada's care, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that Chonlada treats her furry guests as if they were her own. Finn had a fantastic time running around and exploring the spacious outdoor area. Chonlada kept us updated throughout the weekend, sharing photos and messages that really put our minds at ease. It was incredibly reassuring to know Finn was having such a great time. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“We are so thankful to have found Alexa to watch our lab, Bailey! She was very quick to respond to messages. She has a great backyard for the dogs to play. She sent lots of pictures and messages to update us on how Bailey was doing. We would definitely use her again!”
“William and Kristen are true dog people- loving, caring and sensitive to your furry family member’s needs. They were prompt in getting back to us and kept us posted with pics and fun comments. Asha seemed very “at home” in the their home when I picked her up. Thx guys for treating our pup like one of your own!!”
“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!”
“It is one thing to ask someone to watch your dog. It’s another to ask them to watch a 14 year old dog. Hollie was extraordinary. She was attentive to my concerns and took such great care of Maxine that it didn’t seem like she wanted to leave! I would use her anytime. She was also flexible around boarding since we had to change our return time. So very grateful for her!!!!”
“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.”
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.
“As always, Kristin is awesome. She is so responsive and communicative. I love that Wyatt got a bath this time after a long week of "vacation" at her house. He is always exhausted and happy when he comes home.”
“Many thanks to Tina for taking such good care of Enzo while I was away visiting family. Tina gave me daily photos and reassured me all was well. I picked up a very happy and well cared for pooch on my return. Highly recommend Tina ❤️”
“Dana was fantastic with our golden retriever! So much so that our dog didn’t want to leave! Dana provided frequent updates and pictures to make us feel assured that our doggy was OK!”
“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 :-)”
“Tielian took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. We were provided with photos and updates each day during our dog’s stay, which we appreciated. We will definitely use Tielian again the next time we go out of town and need a dog sitter! Highly recommend.”
“Janette was wonderful with my 7 months old puppy. He is extremely energetic, inquisitive, and playful . She shared pictures of him every day. He participated in the birthday of one of the furries of the household and had some of the home made treats! She answered my requests right away . I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely come back again. Thank you for your love and care to our lovely puppy!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael & Loraine! It was our first time leaving Bomi with someone outside of family, and they were so patient, kind, and reassuring from the start — answering all our questions and even inviting us to see their clean, spacious home before booking. While we were away, they kept in touch with thoughtful updates and photos, and it was clear Bomi was happy, comfortable, and loved like family. We’re so grateful for their care, attention, and kindness, and would absolutely trust them with Bomi again. Highly recommend!”
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.

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.
