“Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
“Mary was WONDERFUL. I left my dog with her for 12 days, the longest I have ever been away from my dog. I had nothing to be nervous about as Mary kept me in the loop the whole time I was away. She was great at providing physical activity with my dog which is a huge part of her well being! They have a lot of yard space outside which is great for running around and made me feel comfortable! She was professional and timely with answering any of my questions about my dog. Was receptive to any special requests I had made for my dog as well which was great! I would 100% book with her again if I am going away! Also she sends photo updates which I LOVED!”
“Hardy was an exceptional caretaker for our boy, Teddy P. This was my first time leaving him while going on vacation. I received pictures and videos daily. I am astounded that he blended so well with other dogs. When I picked him up he wasn’t anxious. He’s relaxed and happy. He will definitely return soon. Thank you, Hardy for your expertise, kindness and care. Welcome to the family! ♥️”
“Katie was amazing with my dog Norman. He stayed with her for 3 nights while I was out of town, and I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her husband (so comfortable that I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to come home, lol). She sent lots of pictures and videos, everyday. She has a nice fenced yard that’s he could romp around in. Would definitely use her services again for overnight stays in the future!”
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“This was Jaspers first time being left with anyone outside of family so I was super nervous but Monica did a great job keeping me updated with how Jasper was doing and made seemed to make him feel right at home!”
“She was awesome!! Definitely will be booking her again.. not only did she keep us updated she didn't let the fact that our little Grumpy was not a happy camper at first... she gave him his space until he was ready. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it! Definitely recommend her.”
“Cynthia took great care of my dog at her place. She followed instructions, kept me updated, and even made my dog rice to encourage her to eat. Her dog was very friendly with my nervous greyhound. They even played together in Cynthia’s back patio.”
“Zyiana was amazing!!! What a wonderful dog sitter, she treated my two dogs aka my babies with amazing care, she was wonderful at communication, timely and sent frequent updates and photos which was so reassuring for me!! I would 10/10 recommend Zyiana for any dog sitting needs.”
“I can't thank Yuka and her boys enough for taking such great care of Benni!! It was very difficult to leave my Velcro dog for two weeks but it made all the difference knowing he was in good loving hands. Yuka checked in regularly and sent pictures allowing me to relax and not worry. It turns out Benni had a fun little vacation too. Yuka is such a lovely, caring, and responsible person I highly recommend her!”
“Alexis does such a great job with Prince! She really takes care of him and provides the comfort Prince receives at home. I will continue to care for Prince when I am away.”
“Hanna and her wonderful mom, Esther, took care of my two dogs over the weekend. This is their second stay with Hanna & Esther, and it is a wonderful feeling to know that they are being well cared for and getting soooo much love. Thank you again! <3”
“Joy was so great watching my dog this past weekend! She kept me updated with photos all weekend long - I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you for the help!”
“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!!!”
“Devin was a joy to work with and I'm so thankful to have found her. She is kind, flexible, and easy-going. She was willing to take on my unpredictable dog and treated her with kindness and patience. Would definitely re-book!”
“We could not be happier with our experience with Michael and Adelie! Olive stayed with them for 2 weeks while my husband and I were on vacation overseas. She settled in at their home quickly and became fast friends with their dog Parsley! We received daily pictures of their adventures and it was clear Olive was so happy and comfortable during her stay, which put our minds at ease. We are thrilled to have found Michael and Adelie and would not hesitate to have them look after Olive again!”
“Christina was great! She took great care of our dog and was communicative and responsive. She was very flexible with drop off and pickup and was great. We’d definitely go back”
“Tim was great! Friendly demeanor and lives in a wonderful location with quick access to the SRT; our pup was very happy. He came home clean, loved, and well taken care of. We will absolutely reach out to Tim in the future!”
“Marissa & Kevin are incredible! They took the time to understand what we were working on with our pup and even trained him while he stayed there. They are so kind - we felt very comfortable leaving our pup with them. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve not only been a pet parent for many years; I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters and done pet sitting and boarding for cats and dogs. I love animals and treat every one as my own. Nicknames-Carla/Carolyn. I’m available for weekend/holiday boarding to allow pet parents the freedom to have a well deserved getaway experience when desired. Dogs/cats in my care are never left alone. Only one dog is in care at any given time unless dogs are from the same household and are friendly with each other. There will never be more than two dogs on the premises simultaneously. I’d be delighted to have your pet join our happy home and enjoy a fun mini vacation of their own. I treat each pet as if they were my own. In my pet centered home, I provide loving care and supervision at all times. I remain on the property for the duration of your pet’s stay. Dogs are always on leash when outdoors. Doors are always secured. Dogs are secured in vehicle if transported (leash with seat belt or in secured carrier. Cats are in secured carrier if transported. Since I have 2 cats, pets are compartmentalized in my home , if needed. At pet parent’s request, oral/topical medication may be given if I feel comfortable administering.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cheltenham is $55
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cheltenham
Monica did great watching my 6 month old puppy. She kept her on a schedule and communicated with me very well. I forgot to mention she watched my 4 year old German Shepard at the same time and they loved it there. Monica even provided training pads for me to take home. Thank you Monica again.
Firstly I’m new to the App and the service. Simply love it. Was easy to use and made it easy to connect with someone in my area. Was traveling to see my son graduate from the arm forces and had no one to watch our dog Koda. It was last minute and I was desperate to find quality help. My coworker recommended the Rover app. I connected with Joseph who was heaven sent. I went over Kodas needs. Koda took to him right away which to me was a sign! I received daily reports and photos of my dog. Will definitely use the service and Joseph again. Thank You Joseph for the excellent care!!
Doug and Secylia have been caring for my older dog for over two years, and they’ve been so incredible that adding his younger brother to their roster was a no-brainer. They provide outstanding care, detailed daily updates, and the cutest photos imaginable. Seriously, their pet photography skills are next level! Most importantly, they give me complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are safe, happy, and loved while I’m away. As a devoted (and admittedly anxious) dog parent, that’s everything. Five stars, 10/10, highly recommend! ✨
Hardy, is my preferred sitter for Simba. He has the expertise in managing my large breed dog. Simba is alway excited when I drop him off. My dogs behavior tells me all that I need to know. Hardy makes my dog happy and I could not ask for more. When I drop him off, I feel comfortable and I can focus on other things during my time away from him.
Jenn is my exclusive sitter for my 15 year old cocker spaniel, Bella. Jenn, makes Bella feel at home and I have no concerns when I leave her. Jenn spoils her so much. I receive photos and video and she always includes a thank you note for choosing her to care for Bella.She is the ultimate professional!
Hanna is an absolute lifesaver! She and her mom stepped up to watch my pup with special needs when his original care plans fell through the day before my trip. She not only learned how to care for his specific needs, but provided him with endless love and snuggles. I would recommend Hanna and her mom to anyone. They are truly the sweetest.
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.
Ilana was absolutely wonderful. I get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she is so caring and well-informed. From the first meet and greet, I could tell Ilana was extremely invested and knowledgeable about pet sitting. She asked insightful questions that helped me fill out my dog's care plan more carefully. During the visit, I received tons of pictures and updates. My dog doesn't always like to go on walks, but Ilana kept me in the loop on what their activities were for the day. I received many videos of my dog playing with her interactive feeder toys or chasing a ball around with Ilana. I felt confident that she was getting plenty of exercise and stimulation during the stay. My dog seemed relaxed and comfortable when I picked her up. I will definitely be using Ilana again in the future!
Jacob was great with our dog while we were away for two weeks. He was easy to communicate with prior to the trip and set up a meet and greet so we could make sure Lacey was comfortable with him and in his home. During the trip he provided daily updates and even bought her a new frisbee when she tore hers up playing. Would definitely trust Jacob with our dog again next time we travel!
Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!
Barbara was great with Java Chip! She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, followed all care instructions, and made Java Chip feel right at home in a clean, safe environment. Barabara genuinely loves the dogs in her care. We'll definitely book with Barbara again!

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.
94% of sitters in Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham.
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 Cheltenham. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Cheltenham 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.
