“Jena & Nick were absolutely wonderful with our very nervous dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover. They went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and at ease. We loved receiving daily photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their adorable pup, Sebastian, was the perfect playmate and helped make our dogs stay even more enjoyable. It’s clear that Jena and Nick genuinely care about the pets they watch and treat them like family. We can’t say enough positive things about them and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet sitters. Thank you!”
“Ashley was an awesome pet sitter for my two dogs. She gave us daily updates with messages, photos, and videos. The dogs had a truly wonderful time with her. It was a huge comfort to know they were being cared for so well while we were traveling.”
“Andi enjoyed her stay and got to play with other dogs and that is her favorite! Nicholas was gracious and available for a last minute day trip and we much appreciated it.”
“Angeline and her family made Roo feel right at home! They took great care of her, kept her in routine, and sent me cute pictures and updates each day! I will definitely rebook when I go out of town!”
“Erin was so amazing with Lucky! Her and Mako made Lucky feel like one of the family and he had so much fun with two of his new best friends! She gave us plenty of updates and we could tell Lucky had a blast!”
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my baby! I felt very comfortable the entire time Roxy was in her care. Even though it was short notice, Brittany was able to accommodate Roxy with ease. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone in need. Thanks for your help. Roxy and I look forward to another stay with Brittany in the future :)”
“Christi was fantastic! We were worried about leaving our senior dog for a couple nights during our vacation and Christi had a very warm and welcoming home for our girl. She fell in love with them and wasn’t stressed like she would have been at a dog kennel. I would recommend her over and over again and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Thank you SO much for taking my boy on such short notice. He had so much fun. I am so glad he was able to interact with other pups and play as well. You took very good care of him! I will definitely think of you in the future if we need a sitter but will plan ahead. You are the best!”
“Chang was so great with Lucky! We had a last minute sitting need and she responded so promptly and took such great care of him. Was great with communication and pictures! We will definitely use her again!”
“Our pup, 3.5yr old had the best week vacation with Sarah and her family. All photos shared showed Chloe enjoying loads of love and stimulation. She came home happy & her usual self. Sarah was great to connect with regarding drop off & pick up times. Very friendly and professional and I could tell she incorporated Chloe into her household, taking her on errands, etc. I will definitely keep her in mind for our next trip. Thanks so much!”
“Brûlée loves Jessica's home. She was able to run around with other dogs and was treated like apart of the family. Thank you so much for sharing photos consistently, we will be sure to stay with y'all again.”
“Carol took great care of our puppy, Max, for about a week while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! Max seemed so happy in all the videos and pictures Carol shared. I think Max actually misses being there and having more friends to play with! Carol is easy to communicate with and was very flexible and accommodating.”
About: I have always had animals my whole life. Now I travel a bit and cannot commit to a full-time pet, but I miss having one! I do not currently have any pets so if yours likes to be the only one, and get all the attention, I can do that! I am flexible with hours and will take care of your pet like my own! I have just started retirement and have plenty of time to watch and play with your pets. My days and hours are flexible, and I currently have no pets of my own. I am currently living in a large apartment. Where I live is extremely walkable, so right out the door onto our walks, as many times as needed.
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.
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“Luna had a great time!! She tends to be very anxious but warmed up quickly. Stephanie and Philip were great at communicating with us and we were relieved to know she was with people who treated her like family!”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Tamakia was so great to our two dogs! We have one grumpy old man who is fairly needy and doesn’t warm up to just anyone, but he absolutely adores her. We’ve now booked with Tamakia twice and each time received many updates and pictures. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Our dog genuinely enjoyed herself for the week she spent with the family. She immediately wanted to play with their dog Pepper at the first meeting, so the initial reaction was great at easing any possible concerns. Colette was great with the pictures and feedback, and everything seemed to go well - actually began to be worried that our dog wouldn't want to come home with us since she was having such a great time and getting loads of attention. Would definitely recommend this family and choose them again.”

Always 5 star with Ruth! She truly has built a relationship with with our Willow. Due to circumstances we weren't able to drop our baby off personally this time, but the drop off from our friends to Ruth still went smoothly with no anxiety. Ruth kept us posted with texts and pics throughout Willows stay with her. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention Ruth provides. We will continue to book with Ruth for future trips.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Butler is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
93% of sitters in Butler 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 Butler 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 Butler.
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 Butler. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Butler 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.
