“Emily and Patrick were great with Loki! They kept us updated with lots of pictures, and Loki came home well-rested and well-loved. We would absolutely recommend them!”
About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, from young puppies to adult dogs. I administer medication to my own friendly dog twice a day, so I’m comfortable incorporating medication schedules into a dog’s daily routine. I’ve also cared for an 8-week-old puppy for an extended three weeks while the parents were international, which gave me experience with the extra attention, patience, supervision, and consistency that young puppies need. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love while making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable. I can also walk dogs together when their temperaments, leash manners, and walking needs are a good match. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own! I work part-time remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Since I’m home most of the time, I can give your pets plenty of attention and help keep them on their normal routines. My son has a few evening activities that typically last about an hour, but otherwise, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I love being able to provide pets with dependable, loving care and make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them in their own home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work part-time remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for drop-in visits to check on pets, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medications when needed, and offer playtime, companionship, and cuddles. In my home, I have a friendly, animal-loving dog who enjoys having company. I keep plenty of toys and treats on hand to keep pets happy and entertained, and I can provide a crate or a separate room if a pet needs their own quiet space. I also have a yard with a dog-run tether for supervised outdoor time. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own!
“Sarah was an incredible host and I will be booking again! I feel incredibly grateful that my two dogs were in her care- they were happy, healthy, and safe during the visit. They had many long walks and outdoor time and Sarah was very communicative with lots of pictures and updates.”
“Victoria took great care of Bell! I received multiple videos of Bell everyday and could tell she looked very happy. Victoria made sure to send updates with the videos as well. I will definitely want to book again.”
About: I've had dogs and cats in my life for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and affection throughout the day. I have a sweet miniature schnauzer named Brad who is a big part of my daily routine. I only accept one client's pets at a time, so your dog won't be competing with a house full of unfamiliar animals for attention. I want their stay to feel relaxed, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. My home has a partially fenced yard, and I'm happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines. I'll also send pictures and updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away. Whether you're traveling for a weekend or heading out on vacation, I'll treat your pet like part of the family. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and company. My miniature schnauzer, Brad, is already part of my daily routine, so caring for another dog fits naturally into our day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet's usual feeding, walking, and rest times. I want your dog to feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I only board one client's pets at a time, so they receive personalized attention in a relaxed home environment. I have a partially fenced yard and always supervise outdoor time. I'm happy to follow your dog's usual routines and any special instructions. I'll also send pictures and updates so you know how they're doing.
“Excellent pet watcher!! I highly recommend. They were very responsive, and flexible. My cat T-square had a blast at there place. He was loved, groomed, and cared for, as if he was with me! ❤️”
“We had a fabulous experience with Maria. Our puppy Maui had a great time and was well taken care of. We received updates throughout the week we were gone, along with photos. Maria is very responsive and answers any questions you may have! It was a relief knowing Maui was at a loving place while we were away!”
“Christy provides a comfortable, loving home away from home for our dog. She is very reliable, sends lots of photos, and genuinely seems to love dogs. I’ve stressed about trips for years because it was hard to find a dog sitter we loved, and Christy has taken all that stress away! We are so grateful for her.”
About: Hi there! I absolutely love dogs and have been around them my entire life—from family dogs and friends’ pups to volunteering at local shelters. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, so dog walking and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to get my puppy fix! I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles. 🐾 I currently work from home and live an active lifestyle, so I love getting outside for a long afternoon walk. I would absolutely love to have your pup join me! Whether they need a quick walk or some extra exercise and attention during the day, I’d be happy to give them plenty of love and company while you’re away. I currently don’t offer boarding or daycare in my own home. I prefer to take the time to get to know each dog and their demeanor first so I can make sure they feel comfortable and safe in my care. When caring for your pup in your home, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I’ll keep them active with long walks, play with them, and give them plenty of love, attention, and comfort while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.
“Joe took good care of our pup Poe while we were away. He and Vanessa, his boys, and his dog Pickle all gave Poe a very warm and welcoming reception! He was very attentive to all the care details I communicated, and we appreciated how he sent us lots of photos and videos during her stay. Poe was in great spirits when we picked her up, and we plan on booking with Joe again in the future!”
“Raeann is truly the best. She cares for Bronn as if he were her own. She always sends lots of updates and pictures (which as anxious dog mom I appreciate immensely). I could not recommend her enough and Bronn is looking forward his next visit!”
“Took extremely good care of our Ava! Our dog is special needs and Lauren and her husband did such a great job with her. We explained her issues and they made sure to take care of them. I could tell Ava took a liking to them immediately. She sent pictures and kept us updated. We’re definitely using her again when we can!”
“Always so glad to have Ozzie stay with Ashley. This time he had recently been neutered and I needed someone who I could trust to take care of him. She gave me the regular updates and lots of pictures she always sends to help me feel comfortable and Ozzie had a great experience. Thanks so much!”
“Jeanine was so kind and patient with my elderly dog. Our dog seemed so happy and relaxed with every picture and video taken of her. Even got her to play which she hadn’t done in months. I will rebook with her every chance that I get when we are traveling”
“My cockers spaniels were very happy with Mike! He sent us regular updates and pictures which were very much appreciated! Thank you so much, Mike! We would definitely book again!”

We are so grateful for the amazing care Frodo received! From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease. She kept us updated, was attentive to his routines, and truly treated him like part of her family. Frodo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It means so much to leave your dog somewhere and feel peace instead of worry — and that’s exactly how we felt. Thank you for loving him like we do. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. 🐾💛
Alexa did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She was kind, reliable, and very attentive, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Communication was smooth, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I really appreciated her help and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

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.
94% of sitters in Ben Avon 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 Ben Avon 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 Ben Avon.
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 Ben Avon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Ben Avon 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.
