“Our dogs had the best time with David and his family! They enjoyed early morning walks and plenty of activity, which I know they loved. David sent daily photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with him again for future vacations—as long as he's willing to take our two dogs back after all the fun they had!”
“Jaideep and his lovely wife took incredible care of Tala. They provided me with a steady stream of pictures and updates which made me miss her much less. I look forward to using them again soon.”
“Wonderful folks! I'm happy for daily updates and details on my kitties. They helped feel comfortable and allowed them to slowly open up. Definitely would rebook in the future if needed.”
“Sarah cared for our labradoodle and we would definitely recommend her! She communicated regularly, sent pictures and updates, ensured our pets were compatible before booking, and made us feel very comfortable that our girl was in great hands.”

“I DEFINITELY recommend Angel and will rebook with her if I need boarding in the future. Angel was responsive to all messages and seemed like she really loves dogs. She sent pictures during his stay and he seemed like he had enjoyed himself when I came by to pick him up. Thanks Angel for taking care of my Denim on such short notice.”
“Jack was great with our dog, Buddy. This was Buddy's first time away from home and I was worried about how he would do. Jack sent me pics often and assured me Buddy was doing just fine. Jack and his family were very accommodating to our schedule. Things went so well, we will definitely use Jack again. I highly recommend Jack for your pet's care.”

“We were very happy with Rosa and her family. From start to finish, they were very caring and sweet. Since it was our first experience, we loved it. Our pups were in the best hands. We highly recommend trusting Rosa, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much, Rosa and family! From Tina and Cooper 🐶🐶🫶🏻❤️”

“Libby Lou had a great time with Angela and Ken and their family. We would highly recommend them to anyone. Great communications and a great stay for Libby. Angela and Ken are dog owners and gave Libby Lou all the love she is use to. They kept her busy and you can tell because she was one tired little girl when we took her home and she is hard to wear down. Loved the large fenced in back yard because she could just run. We look forward to using Angela and Ken again in the future. Thanks to them for looking after Libby Lou. Linda and Bob”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bowmansdale
Taylor and her family was amazing with my old man. She sent pictures everyday and messaged updates frequently. I booked with her last minute for a trip and she was so accommodating and excited to spend time with my dog. I will 100% book with her again in the future!
Kaitlin took great care of Luna. Sent us daily updates and photos of my girl. Luna was so excited to come back and spend time/play with Raven she could hardly wait to get out of the car! This is the second time we have booked with Kaitlin and looking forward to using her services again!
Courtney and Andrew were absolutely wonderful. This was the first time I had to get someone outside the family to watch Tucker and I was probably more nervous than he was. But I got so many pictures and updates each day and i could tell Tucker was having fun and being well cared for. Thank you so much.
I had my two dogs with Rob and his wife last week. They did an awesome job! They have a nice big fenced in back yard and he throws ball w them. I was immediately at ease because Rob sent lots of pics to me. He responded to me quickly anytime I texted him. I would not hesitate using Rob again! Highly recommend!!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
97% of sitters in Bowmansdale 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 Bowmansdale 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 Bowmansdale.
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 Bowmansdale. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Bowmansdale 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.
