“This was the first time we left Ralphy (14 yrs. old)with Tiffany for one night. He really enjoyed exploring her fenced in back yard! Her dog, Penny, is a sweetheart. Ralphy seemed happy there so we will definitely be using Tiffany again!”
“Charley had the most wonderful time with Katherine who really knows how to make a canine newcomer to her home and family feel welcomed and cared for. We're so very appreciative and look forward to his returning often!”
“Amanda had my active puppy for an entire week - she was so well cared for and had so much fun. Amanda sent pictures so we could see how our little fur baby was doing along the way. Her large fenced in yard was perfect! Highly recommend!”
“Chonlada was awesome. She communicated every day by texting and sending pictures/videos of our dog. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for your pet.”
“We feel fortunate that Reshma & Kangan are willing to invite our sensitive cavapoo Rosa into their home. She enjoys being there and is given such good care. Sometimes we can't take dog with us and when we can't, we can relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing Rosa is in the best of care.”
“Melinda was awesome! Her dogs are super sweet and she made our Charlie feel right at home, her and her family are great and were wonderful with our Charlie would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again when we are back in town.”
“My dog had such a good time with Adrienne and her family! It was easy to see how happy and comfortable she felt when we went to pick her up. Adrienne kept us up to date on all the fun they were having with picture check ins and was quick with response times. We look forward to having her sit our girl again.”
“Scott was very communicative and easy going. Benny came back happy and tired from all the exercise Scott was able to give him. We will definitely book with him again!”
“We could not have been happier with the care our miniature poodle received while staying with Sharon for one week. She was an outstanding caregiver for our dog while accommodating our needs, and made the entire process stress-free. Sharon is an exceptional communicator. She gave us daily updates with messages, photos and videos so that we always knew how our dog was doing and within the first day or two we could see he was content and happy. She was astute in reading the nuances of our dog's behavior around food, treats, medication, and playing, and adjusted her responses accordingly. It was evident she treated our pet like part of her family - her nurturing, patient nature and genuine love for animals really showed. Even her family got involved, and it was comforting to know our dog was pampered by everyone. We returned home after our vacation to a happy and relaxed dog who had clearly received excellent care. We recommend Sharon without reservation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable caregiver for their dog.”
“Megan had no problem accepting a last minute booking for Roscoe’s stay. She set up a meet and greet, that was very convenient and accommodating. Megan sent photos and updates throughout his stay. Communication was excellent ! Highly recommend Megan and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Kimberle was fantastic with our 2 dogs. This was their first stay away from home and she treated them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to soothe their nerves and provide a comfortable environment for them. Would recommend highly!”
“Kristin is great! Her house was well kept, with a nice backyard for playtime. Her pets made great companions and she took great care of my pup. She'll be my first choice next time I need someone to watch him.”
“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!”
“Mariia is AMAZING! She sent us updates and pictures every day of our cat she was watching. She is very thorough with our cat's needs. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry because we knew Oreo was well taken care of. Mariia is very nice and we will definitely be using her again! Oreo misses her!”
“Alyssa took great care of our beautiful Lilly. Lilly was a bit anxious the first night, but Alyssa made her comfortable and even slept on the couch next to Lilly's bed. Thanks to Alyssa's patience, Lilly slept soundly in her bed in Alyssa's room on the 3rd night. Lilly loved Alyssa and I'm sure she'll be happy to return to Alyssa's care when needed. Alyssa provided updates several times a day and responded to any of my messages in a very timely fashion. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone as I can tell that she lovingly cared for our big girl the same as we do.”
“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
“Heather was great! I felt at ease with her watching my pup for the weekend. She kept in touch and gave me updates often. She really took good care of Bella. I would definitely book with Heather again.”
About: My husband and absolutely love dogs. We have a loving spacious home for him to run around in. I am always watching my parents or siblings dog and it’s always a blast to do so! My husband and I both work from home, so we’re able to spend a lot of time with our dog throughout the day. We take him on walks totaling at least 2 miles every day and love getting outside with him whenever we can. We also make sure he gets plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise, and we enjoy taking him along with us on walks, errands, and adventures whenever possible. We have a large dog who has his own bedroom with a full-size bed, which he absolutely loves! We also have two dog beds downstairs so he has plenty of comfortable places to relax throughout the house. Our back porch has a long leash where he can safely spend some time outside and enjoy the fresh air. He is no in the crate, but we do have a large crate in the basement available if needed.

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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
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 Clayton 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.
