“Jessica is probably the best Rover we had Nugget board at! She was so sweet to him and Nugget misses her island girl, Priscilla, so much. He had an amazing time playing with all the dogs. He probably thought Jessica is his new mom so he was def sad to come home to us but overall we will be leaving Nugget with her again. We were so at ease while on vacation and what else could you ask for when you see your dog also on a vacation at Jessica’s house!”
“Jeffrey was extremely responsive to my questions and wrote every day with updates and photos. He was patient with Papaya's anxiety, and madensure she ate, even if it meant offering her handfuls of food at a time. It's the first time we left our sweet goofy girl with someone, but it felt good to know she was in such good hands. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Mary was great! We especially enjoyed all of the pictures she sent while we were away, the communication was wonderful. We will definitely be booking with Mary again.”
“This was our second time using Kathleen. She’s the best, very accommodating and treats our Maxey like her own pup. We feel very lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Ryan was our 1st experience using Rover, or any boarding service. We have a very large very anxious 3yr old dog, and Ryan made the experience smooth and worry free for myself & my dog. He sent great photos showing how relaxed & happy my dog was while we were away, which my whole family loved to see. Highly recommended using Ryan for any services he offers.”
“our high maintenance corgis were relaxed and happy with Rebecca and it was so great to see them enjoying themselves AND completely unstressed even when we picked them up! it's a great feeling to know your dogs are not only safe, but content while you're gone”
“Bryce was incredible! This was Thor’s first time away from us and I was just as anxious as he was. Bryce did a wonderful job of putting us both at ease. The photos and updates during the day was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bryce!”
“Zyiana was so great with my Miacchiato. Macchiato had lots of fun playing with her the whole day. I was running behind picking him up and Zyiana was so accomodating. I would definitely recommend her for other folks who need their pups watched!”
“She was very nice and helpful with my last minute reservation. My puppy was well taken care of and loved the updates with pictures/videos. Would definitely recommend her for your furry friends.”
“Melissa and Dan have helped my dog learn to play with other dogs. They send lots of great pictures every day. They take dogs for walks, and they also have a giant fenced backyard.”
“Michael and Loraine took great care of Jax, our Bichpoo. You can tell they have had dogs and are true dog lovers. Jax took to them right away, thanks to their loving manner and welcoming warmth. We’re already booked for our next trip!”
“Zenith cared for my dog from February 19–22, and I am so grateful for her. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent sweet updates, photos, and videos that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear she treated him with genuine love and care, just like I would. I never once worried while I was away. I would happily book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pup.”
“Bobby always does such an amazing job watching our cockapoo Miley. He communicates well and Miley always seems very happy when she comes home. We’ve booked Bobby 5+ times now and will definitely be back! Thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Amazing!! Leanne G. was an incredible sitter. She provided dog boarding services while we took a much-needed family vacation. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I felt very comfortable knowing that Oakley was being well-cared for. He went on lots of walks and had a blast playing with his new friends. I would definitely recommend Leanne G.; and I will certainly use her again! Thank you, Leanne!”
“Bear and Bailee had another GREAT 😊 stay with Julianna!!! They were with her for 4 nights and she took really good care of them. I felt entirely comfortable leaving them with her! My pups can be a bit clingy at time and my Bear-Bear can be a little moody and he had a great time with her mom 😊. I am so grateful to have found Julianna. ♥️”
“Su and her family did an amazing job taking care of Milo for our trip! I got daily updates and he looked like he was having a blast. I really appreciated how flexible they were with meet up times too. We’ll definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch him!”
“Hali & her family are the best sitters we have ever booked with Rover. We will continue to use them for any and all future trips, if you are looking for someone to take amazing care of your fur babies she is who you want to book with. My boys get so excited to go there and even know the route to her house 😂 as soon as we get close they are ready to jump out to have fun with her and her family. We appreciate you and cannot thank you enough for the exceptional care you give to my boys. ❤️”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bryn Athyn
Earlier this week, I found myself in the position of finding overnight care for my dog Cookie at the very last minute. I will never send him to a kennel since he does not do well with a lot of other dogs and I did not want him lost amidst a sea of yapping or feeling confined. I needed someone with a big, secure, natural back yard to enjoy when not on walks; someone with only one or two personal pets who would not take in others during Cookie’s stay; and someone active, engaged and loving with my special guy. I found that person in Christina. Christina is brand new to the platform, which I actually liked since I suspected she would go over and beyond what was required as she builds her reputation. Her narrative and the testimonials sounded authentic, and her photos showed obvious joy with dogs and cats. And she was available on short notice. I asked if we could do a live video “walk-around” her house, and mainly her yard, on WhatsApp, which I do not believe most people would have agreed to, but she did so readily. This is what I saw, heard and learned: 1) The yard is huge, secure, beautiful and interesting; 2) Her rapport with her own bichon was kind, gentle and fun (I learned she had three bichons for many years but two passed and I think Rover is partly to help fill that void); 3) She walks in Pennypack Park morning, noon and night so when Cookie was not enjoying the yard, he’d be enjoying new sights and sounds elsewhere with his new bichon buddy; 4) Cookie would not be caged ever, and no other dogs would be accepted for boarding while he was there. I had to change the drop off and pickup times at the last minute, which was not a problem at all. Drop-off was easy and communication consistent and remained on WhatsApp throughout the stay. I picked Cookie up a little while ago and I knew I had made the right choice for my guy. Cookie will be back at Christina’s without a question, though hopefully not at the last minute again. Five out of five!!!
Gabriela is one of Barkley’s favorite sitters. She loves the whole family and gets so excited when I drop her off. It’s a great comfort when someone loves your dog as much as you do. I never worry when Barkley is there. I’ve already scheduled more time with her because of that.
Yino took amazing care of Bonnie while we were on vacation for a week - she sent pictures and videos showing how happy she was the whole time. She even took extra care during storms for our very anxious pup and provided the appropriate medication. We’ll definitely be booking with Yino again next time we need a sitter! Communication was phenomenal and Bonnie was taken care of perfectly.
Mary was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She was caring, reliable, attentive, and clearly treated my dog like her own. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Ivana was an amazing dog sitter for us. She loved on them from the moment she met them till the moment we left with them. You can’t tell she really loves watching them. She sent plenty of photos and videos of them through the entire trip and we really appreciated it. Will definitely be using her again.
Corey is amazing. Im glad Lucky feels comfortable and at home with her. Gives us peace of mind when we are away. We have no worries leaving him with Corey. She keeps us updated with cute pictures of him. We will definitely be coming back the next time we need to leave Lucky with someone.we trust.

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 Bryn Athyn home-away-from-home, 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 Bryn Athyn.
<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 Bryn Athyn 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 , 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 .
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.
