“My 1 year old cockapoo Lucy had the BEST week with Diego & Amelia’s family! She was well cared for & more, and she grew very attached to their loving family! Their son played with her all the time. Their two dogs got along well with her. We received daily photos of her looking right at home with everyone! Lucy was sad to say goodbye, she whined when we left! I will definitely be bringing her to stay with Diego & Amelia again! I highly recommend Diego & Amelia to welcome your dog into their family while you are away! Thank you so so very much!!! ?”
“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!”
“This was Susie's first stay with Dana. They have a great property for dogs and Dana knows dogs very well. I was very comfortable leaving Susie there. I believe a home is much nicer to leave your dog than a kennel and Dana has a great home to leave your dog. I highly recommend and will use Dana for sure in the future.”
“Dolly and her three boys took exceptional care of Parker. She has three boys and a large fencing backyard that allowed him to play amd explore in a safe environment. When we arrived, parker was immediately snatched up by her by one of her two younger sons who promptly began playing with him, pampering him and loving him. Dolly said her sons even “argued” over whose bed he would sleep in. Parker came back a happy camper and made three great buddies along the way. Additionally, Dolly kept constant contact with me and sent pictures over the course of the two days. I would highly recommend this wonderful family to look after your pet whenever you need someone to watch them.”
“Janette and her family were so wonderful watching our new puppy Simon! She proactively sent updates and Simon was treated like a member of the family. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kat and Matt! They took great care of our two dogs over the weekend and made sure we always felt connected by sending regular photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Wendy was great with Maverick, she opened her whole house to him. She has a fenced in yard, which is great for an explorer like Maverick. He was immediately comfortable and I know he was in good hands. He chewed some of her personal items and she wasn’t bothered by it. Wendy and her husband clearly care about the dogs they care for. Wendy also sent pictures every day. Maverick didn’t want to leave.”
“Five stars is not enough for Benjamin! He, and his beautiful family (of humans and dogs) went over and above to take care of our golden retriever, Soda. When we went for our meet and greet we didn’t want to leave. Their fenced in yard and the welcoming kind vibe made Soda and me (her human) feel instantly comfortable and at ease. Benjamin sent photos and videos of her girl having the time of her life while we were away almost 2 weeks. And he managed to get her in the car to go back and forth which is no small task since Soda is terrified of the car. All of this incredible kindness and professionalism took place under extraordinary circumstances since their family was going through major things at the time. We are so grateful to have found him and will definitely be grateful to be able to work with them again. I am always nervous to leave our precious girl, so rest assured, you will be in tbe best of hands if you choose Benjamin.”
“Andrea is lovely. We boarded our special needs Newfie with her for a week and just got her back home. She is tired and happy and so are we. Andrea’s dog and ours got along great. They are best friends now. Andrea sent a picture every day.”
“Stacey & her sweet lil Mali are Jackson’s new best friends! He had the best time with them. Stacey was so very attentive and caring of Jackson. Our family loved the photos & updates she sent each day. This was his first stay with Stacey and we’re very happy to have connected so well. Jackson will definitely return for another stay ?”
“Brandi and Mike were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sokka! He stayed with them for five days, and I couldn’t have asked for better hosts. They treated him like he was their own dog and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. I received multiple updates and pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. They even took Sokka on long walks to Valley Forge Park and car rides, which he loved. Brandi and Mike are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy—I felt completely comfortable having Sokka in their care. I will definitely be asking them to sit for Sokka again in the future. I can't recommend Brandi and Mike enough!”
“Thalita and her family welcomed our golden doodle into their home like she was their own dog. She is very knowledgeable and very thoughtful of the dogs boarding experience. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing our dog was in amazing hands. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Ryan B was a great sitter! He took good care of my dog and sent adorable messages and photos throughout my vacation. I would definitely recommend as a sitter as the children were great with my dog also giving him lots of pets and even grooming him one day. Definitely a sitter to choose!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
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.

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.
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.
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.
