“Tielian took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. We were provided with photos and updates each day during our dog’s stay, which we appreciated. We will definitely use Tielian again the next time we go out of town and need a dog sitter! Highly recommend.”
“Brian was an amazing host for our dog. He was very communicative throughout the stay and shared many pictures and updates. Our dog was very well cared for and had a lot of fun with the family and other dogs. Will absolutely have our dog stay with Brian again.”
“Meagen was awesome! Kona looked so happy in the photos and videos she sent over to me. It was comforting knowing our fur baby was being well taken cared and loved for while we were out of town. I will definitely use Meagen again!!”
“Yuiko always takes great care of Teddy! I really appreciate the updates and can tell he’s happy and well cared for every time. Highly recommend!”
“Dolly is wonderful with my dog Roxy. She takes off a long walks football games and sends me regular pictures and updates. Doesn’t she remembers to give her her medicine Roxy comes back home happy and healthy.”
“Donte is the best! He is the sweetest, most gentle human there is to care for your fur babies. He is so kind to our Roxy and she adores him. I’m impressed with how he trains her and she is so eager to go back with him. 10/10 highly recommend Donte!”
“Richard made us feel so comfortable leaving Roxy with him and his family. We received pictures during the day of our Roxy feeling very relaxed and at home!! We are so glad to have found Richard!!”
“Harper had a great time! Lexi sent frequent updates and took great care of Harper while we were out of town. They have a great yard and home for dogs. You can tell they give lots of love to the animals.”
“We are so thankful to have found Alexa to watch our lab, Bailey! She was very quick to respond to messages. She has a great backyard for the dogs to play. She sent lots of pictures and messages to update us on how Bailey was doing. We would definitely use her again!”
“Boddie loved playing with Amanda's dogs. He loved her fenced in backyard to run, run, run to burn off his energy. I appreciated Amanda giving me updates on how Boddie was doing. Especially after his first night. I was pleased to hear he was quiet through the night and the great communication she provided in light of drop off and pickup. Highly recommend!”
“Juliana was a great sitter for my pug, Riggins! Riggins stayed multiple nights at her house and constantly gave updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. I would highly recommend and would use Juliana again!”
“Diego and Amelia took care of my dog for an entire day so I could focus on moving. They kept him for 4 hrs longer than planned. They were completely understanding and I felt comfortable the entire time.”
“Rachel is the absolute BEST. Our dog loves her. She sends incredible updates and she is so kind. Our pup had a bellyache going into a 10 day trip overseas and I was very stressed about leaving him. Rachel assured me he would be fine and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of and provided updates on his status. She is honestly incredible.”
“We left our yorkie, Richie with Julia for over a week and Julia took great care of Richie, took him on regular long walks, shared pictures and videos of Richie and ensured that he ate well and kept him comfortable in her home. Thanks to Julia we were worry free about Richie on our vacation”
“Pico's over night stay with Emily & Christine couldn't have gone better. They gave us the option for a meet and greet which was super helpful to ease our minds about leaving our fur baby. They were communicative before and during his stay. We could tell from the pictures he had a blast. He made friends with Lilo, their pup, and their kiddos, and it sounds like he even got along nicely with their cat. The ultimate complement is that Pico was clearly sad to come home from his sleepover - just like our human kids after hanging out with one of their besties. We will 100% hire Emily & Christine again and sing their praises to everyone we know. Thank you!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Finn, in Chonlada's care, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that Chonlada treats her furry guests as if they were her own. Finn had a fantastic time running around and exploring the spacious outdoor area. Chonlada kept us updated throughout the weekend, sharing photos and messages that really put our minds at ease. It was incredibly reassuring to know Finn was having such a great time. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“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!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colonial Way
We were so happy to find Drew. This was our first time boarding our two young mini-labradoodles. We met Drew and saw the space they would be in beforehand. Drew provided updates and tons of pictures. I know our girls were happy and well cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend Drew. I am happy to have found a place we know we can leave them when we need to.
Kala did a wonderful job of sitting for our dog Bree! I was impressed by Kala's experience with dogs and conscientious manner. I was initially a little worried that her energetic dog would overwhelm Bree, but we met for a walk before booking to confirm the dogs got along. Kala's fully fenced-in yard was a great place for Bree to play and hang out, and I received texts with photos throughout the weekend. Bree came home happy and tired from lots of walks and playtime. I will definitely book with Kala again!
Jennifer and her family were excellent sitters during our weeklong travels. We were nervous about leaving our newly adopted dog behind but they were so loving and welcoming that we were able to enjoy our trip. Jennifer also sent photos and videos of our dog throughout which our kids loved. We would happily have her family sit our pup again !

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 Colonial Way 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 Colonial Way.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Colonial Way 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.
