“Raeann was amazing! From the initial meet and greet it was clear that Hudson would be well cared for. During his stay, she shared pictures/updates of their time together. She opened up her home to him. I will absolutely consider Raeann again to take care of Hudson while I travel!”

“I’m so glad to have found Courtney. She has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and they are always happy to see her. She takes such good care of them and keeps me posted with pictures and information on what they are up to. I’m very happy and know they are in good hands with Courtney. I can go away and not worry cause I know she is there with them. Thank you Courtney!”
“Our dog had a great time at Victoria's home. She was amazing with updates. We received several videos every day. Our dog was sad to leave her place at the end of his stay.”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”

From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in good hands. We got daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Our doggo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust—this was truly above and beyond. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”

About: As a veterinary technician, caring for animals is both my career and my passion. I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and family for many years, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. My veterinary background means I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications (if needed), and caring for senior pets or those with special medical needs. I also have extensive experience with exotic pets, including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and other small animals, so you can feel confident your unique family members are in knowledgeable hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. One of the things that sets me apart is my ability to care for both traditional pets and exotic species. Whether you have a dog, cat, bird, rabbit, guinea pig, reptile, or another small companion animal, you can trust they’ll receive experienced, compassionate care. With life long experience of 10+ years. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I make it a priority to give every pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m committed to maintaining their normal routine. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a veterinary technician, your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. Before every stay, I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs. I’m experienced administering medications, caring for senior and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs of illness or stress. I also have extensive experience caring for exotic pets, including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and other small animals. As both a veterinary professional and an exotic pet owner, I understand that these pets require specialized knowledge and individualized care. My home is a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. My two friendly dogs have been raised around guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, farm animals, and cats from a young age. They are calm, respectful, and do not bother other animals, making my home a comfortable environment for pets who are a good fit for boarding. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like family. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of love and enrichment, and send regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Castle Shannon
The care was excellent! We really appreciated the timely updates, clear communication, and the genuine care and attention given to our dogs. It was reassuring to know everything was going well, and the friendly, thoughtful approach made us feel completely comfortable. We’d definitely be happy to board our dogs with you again.
Another wonderful stay with Maria! We always have complete peace of mind knowing our pup is happy, safe, and so well cared for, which makes going away much less stressful. We absolutely love the daily updates and photos—they’re such a thoughtful touch and always brighten our day. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust so much with our pup!
Taye is absolutely wonderful with Loki. He is not only a great sitter, but also a wonderful friend and playmate for him. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and affection he gives Loki, and I always feel comfortable knowing Loki is safe and well cared for with him. I’m very grateful to have Taye looking after Loki.
Julia went above and beyond for Kobe. We were coming from out of state and she was able to accommodate Kobe. She was very organized and paid attention to all of Kobe’s needs. Kobe enjoyed staying with her, when we were pulling away he got up to take one last look for Julia, which he never does. She sent pictures and updates, which really helped us enjoy our trip. I would definitely recommended Julia and will definitely book her whenever we are in Pittsburgh again. Thank you Julia for loving and taking care of Kobe as if he were your own.
Josh remains our dog sitting "go-to" resource. I have engaged some excellent dog sitting professionals over 27 years. Josh ranks at the very top. He delivers superior service and genuine care. In short, you can count on him to provide a great overall experience for your furry best friend. Of course, my opinion is secondary. Josh's primary fan is Kelly. She exuberantly greets Josh, and she appears extremely happy in all the photos he provides.
Courtney was the absolute BEST. If I could leave 10 stars I would do so. She updated me several times a day through text messages and pictures so I knew Layni had adjusted and settled in comfortably. If she had questions, she reached out to me. Layni was well cared for during her stay with Courtney, My dog is like a child to me and Layni was happy with her stay as was I. I plan on using Courtney on my next trip, as should you. Bob
Hello Rachelle and Anthony, Our puppy Prince absolutely loved his sitter. From the videos, we could clearly see he was safe, happy, and well cared for. Receiving that first video meant so much to us and I was really worried about his anxiety since my husband and I never left him alone for more than five hours due to work. We truly appreciate the care and attention you gave our Prince. Thank you so much, and we hope you’ll be available the next time we need a sitter.
Luna loved staying with Kate and her husband. From the moment we dropped Luna off, it was clear how much Kate genuinely cared about animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Luna was well cared for and loved!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
88% of Castle Shannon sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Castle Shannon landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Castle Shannon 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 Castle Shannon.
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 Castle Shannon 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.
