“Courtney is wonderful with my dogs. I can always go away and feel comfortable leaving them with. I appreciate every thing she does for them and I know they will be safe and well taken care of.”
“Wow, we are soooo happy to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and communicative family to care for our dog! Nelia cared for our dog for 5 nights and gave so many great updates and pictures throughout, took lots of walks, and treated our dog like part of the family. Her home is super secure with a great backyard, and we had peace of mind knowing our dog was having a fun and relaxing stay. It is always hard to leave our girl, but knowing she was in such good hands and getting lots of love made this the best experience. We are so grateful to have a wonderful go-to for our pup!”
“Tia is awesome! Our dog Becky Jo had such an amazing time playing and hanging out. We loved all the photo and video updates! Would definitely recommend Tia and will rebook! 😊”
“For years I’ve struggled with not having a support system in place to feel at ease when going on vacation with my dog. I may not have a close family to do so but I do have Kasey and Alyssa. These two watched my bulldog Frank and did an amazing job. Cared about all my concerns and over protective dog dad issues. I went to pick Frank up after almost a week away and he loved it so much it was like they were his new family. I have some work to do now to win my dog back over lolol. That says a lot about the care and attention they provided Frank who is part of my family. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. You girls are the best !!!!”
“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”
“Lindsay and her family are amazing! They took great care of my dog while on vacation. Daily I received pictures and updates. Communication was outstanding. Will definitely book again!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Excellent pet watcher!! I highly recommend. They were very responsive, and flexible. My cat T-square had a blast at there place. He was loved, groomed, and cared for, as if he was with me! ❤️”
“Lisa is the best! So incredibly professional and experienced. Cricket had the best time and was so loved and taken care of. I’ve already become a repeat customer! Thank you for everything!”
“Christy is very kind and welcomed our large, sometimes rambunctious, rescue pup into her home. She provided frequent pictures and updates while we were away. We are so appreciative!”
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.
About: I have cared for my own animals my whole life and have just recently said goodbye to my dog of 15 years. Though my family is not ready quite yet for another member, we miss having a dog in the house and would love to help care for yours! I love all animals, but have always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I work full time, but am fortunate enough to have the flexibility to work from home when needed so your furry pals will not go long stretches without love and attention! Our yard is partially fenced, however we have a lead for dogs outside, as well as the equipment and precautions to keep your pets safe if needed like crates, gates, etc. Our two cats are very friendly and good with dogs. They do spend most of their time on the second floor, so your pet would have free rein of our first floor!
“Denyal was great! She was very quick to communicate and flexible when our plans changed last minute. Loved the pictures and updates she sent. It looked like our puppy had a great time with her!”
“Jess was a lifesaver when my previous plans fell through and she was able to take Toby at the last minute. Toby also had a great time and would happily go back next time we’re in the Pittsburgh area :)”
“She was so friendly, fast to respond, and took great care of my 95lb mixed breed. He had an injury occur the week before his stay which resulted in needing an unexpected prescription, and Adisyn had no problem handling that last minute change. Fred came home happy and tired like he had a great time. I would not hesitate to use Adisyn again!”
“Freya had a great time staying with Ellyn and her family! She felt right at home, and loved running around in the yard and Frick Park. Ellyn was very responsive and helpful when our flight was delayed, and Freya had to stay a bit longer than planned. Thank you!”

Theresa clearly cares about the dogs, and I greatly appreciated her flexibility when my flight was delayed. We had a few communication hiccups and different perspectives on pet care, but overall I’m grateful for the attention she gave Jack and Archie! Would book again.
Amber was fantastic with our pup! She sent us daily, detailed updates along with pictures. She took great care of him, and even cleaned out his ear when she noticed he was scratching at it. She even sent us home with a very kind little goody bag including some pictures of him! She is a true dog person, and I'd definitely recommend her! We expect to rebook in the future!
Tri is an amazing sitter! From the moment our dog met her, he chose her. And that was an early indicator that she was the one. She is very smart in her care for dogs and kind, loving, and fun in her interactions with them. This was so important to us as we chose her to be our very first sitter after a thorough search. Her home is a great environment to care for dogs, and she maintains it beautifully. We are going to hire her every chance we get, and you should, too!
Cindy is absolutely amazing! She sends daily updates and multiple pictures, which put our minds at ease. We hate to leave our fur babies, but when we do, we can't think of a better place for our dogs. They get multiple walks per day and lots of cuddle time. The only problem is that I don't think they want to leave Cindy's because they have so much fun!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Crafton 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 Crafton 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 Crafton.
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 Crafton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Crafton 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.
