“Angeline and Dave were great! We would definitely book through them again. We received daily updates with multiple pictures. They also kept our girl active with daily walks. What I appreciate most was their flexibility. We had a family member pass away while we were on our trip, visiting family in Texas. They were very gracious allowing us to book a few extra days so we could stay with our family for the services. They were awesome!”

“Lisa made our mini dachshund feel right at home for his first time away from our family! He loved playing with Lisa's dog and felt comfortable enough with Lisa to snuggle with her at night. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”

“Victoria is wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family for more than a weekend and she made us so comfortable. She sent twice daily updates with how he was doing along with pictures and videos. Franklin can be slow to warm up in a new place and often won't eat for the first day or two but he was completely fine there and ate all meals each day! We have used her again since and have had a similar experience. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet-sitter.”

About: I grew up with dogs as pets in our home and I currently have a Labrador. I have over 15 years of dog care experience and would be happy to care of your fur baby and give them a wonderful staycation of their own while you are away. I would love to know about your pet’s daily routine, special needs, exercise requirements , medication and allergy information - please share as much details possible. I can attend to picky eaters - just let me know your fur baby’s likes and dislikes, how they want to be fed. I will be able to follow their daily health supplement , oral medication requirements. I love taking my dog on long walks, trails and your pup will be enjoying the same outdoor activities while staying at my place. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby ! I work remotely and taking care of your pup will fit well in my daily routine as I also have my own fur baby. My calendar is up to date . I have fully fenced in yard and your pets will be safe and well taken care of while at my place. I would love to take your pups for walks, have backyard playtime and running. As a dog mom myself , I completely understand the emotion we go through when leaving our fur babies away and knowing that , I want to assure you that your pup’s emotional and physical security will be my top priority. They will be spoiled with cuddles, hugs and indoor- outdoor relax time as per their liking. The fenced in yard is where they can run and play to their hearts content carefree and I do have lots of outdoor toys for them to enjoy.

“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”

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'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.

“Just concluded our first stay with Danielle. More happy with this stay than any other I have booked previously with other sitters through Rover. I got pics, videos, and updates multiple times each day. I could tell the way my girl ran around the house when I got there that she was comfortable with her surroundings and I witnessed her loving to play with Danielle's dogs and sons. Peach looked great and healthy and was very happy when I picked her up.”

“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Champion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 852 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Champion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Champion 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 Champion 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 Champion.

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 Champion. On Rover:

  • 91% 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 Champion 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.
