“Madeline and her husband Roman were completely welcoming and professional. They watched my dog for 8 nights. Flexible drop off and pick up. The updates with pictures throughout the week puts your mind at ease as well. I would recommend Madeline 10 out of 10 times.”
“Christin was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout the say with how he was doing and you could tell how much she enjoyed being with him even with some of his quirks!”
“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!”
“I have officially found the best dog watcher ever. I can’t even say how comforted I felt having Christopher watch our dog. We have had issues with dog watchers before who say they are knowledgeable about dogs when they actually aren’t. Our dog has lots of energy and is also an extensive cuddles, so needs a lot of attention to say the least. Christopher is the first dog watcher we have had that actually understood that. He took our dog for multiple, miles long walks each day, and we were treated to wonderful pictures of our dog having cuddle sessions with Christopher. Our dog was sad, yes sad, when he came home with us because he missed Christopher, which to me is wonderful. It’s a sign that our dog actually got the love and attention we hoped he would have while we were away. We got multiple pictures a day of Marshall and constant updates about how he was. I one hundred percent will be using Christopher again, as he truly is knowledgeable about dogs needs and gives the dogs the love and attention they deserve!”
“Upon arrival our dog is always happy to see David. We have boarded with him a couple times a year for several years. David loves the animals and we are confident that our dog is age and we'll cared for every time.”
“Jayanna went above, and beyond to accommodate me from my 1st last minute request at 5.a.m., to keeping my Kenny an extra few hrs because I had an accident that even called for an ambulance, and was still available to have him ready at 12:30 a.m. so we could get on the Hwy heading towards Texas. She was the Greatest. $40 tip along with the extra hours into a paid full day day was a drop in the bucket for someone a kind, sweet, and caring with animals, and clients as she's proben to be! 🥰”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“Lauryn and Hunter were incredible sitters for our dog, Penny. She’s pretty energetic and they made the effort to play with her throughout the day and even take her to the local dog park. We were updated with pictures multiple times each day and would feel very confident in leaving our pup with them again. They truly took care of Penny like she was their own - your pup couldn’t be in better hands!”
“Jasmine went all out treating my dog for walks and playtime with her dog. She also sent me pictures of the dogs the entire time and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Excellent communication. Very great experience and will definitely book again”
“I have no complaints. I needed someone last minute and Zyiana and her fiancée came through. They were responsive, updated me with pictures and made sure Paris was comfortable in their home. This was her first time away so thank you for making her experience special.”
“Deena was amazing! She took my pup in last minute and was very communicative with me during his boarding stay. I received pictures of him playing and generally looking happy. You can tell she has a passion for caring for animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, thank you again!”
“Dana truly means that she will treat your dog like her own. She was super communicative , sending lots of pictures, and flexible as well. Our Riley girl had the best time with Dana and her dogs. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Liam was great with keeping me in the loop and sending pics! He was flexible with drop off and pick up. I’m glad Raff had some furry friends to play with as well :)”
“Carly is very responsive with all messages. My regular sitter got sick and I needed someone urgently. Carly was clutch. I am planning on dropping Rocky off again at her place in couple of days.”
“Liliana took great care of our dog over a long weekend. She was easy to work with and very communicative. Would definitely rebook and recommend her to others.”
“Huy watched Ruby for a few days and did a great job! She sent photo updates and Ruby was content and tired when she got home. Huy’s dog Gau is also such a sweetheart!”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“This was our second time booking, and my dog was happy and excited at drop-off, which tells me everything I need to know. It’s such a relief knowing he feels comfortable and safe. I’ll definitely continue booking!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful. She was very sweet and attentive with my senior fur baby. Jackie understood that I was a nervous mommy, since this was my first time leaving Guennie with anyone outside a family member, and made sure to update me on Guennie, including sending photos and videos. The communication was great. Jacqueline made both of us feel comfortable and at ease. I will definitely use her again to watch my fur baby. Thank you, Jacqueline for taking such great care of Guennie.”
“Above and beyond! Kanade took such excellent care of my dog, and she looked truly happy in the copious amount of pictures that were provided. Kanade asked questions for clarification of care, send a daily recap of how my dog was, and completely put me at ease during my trip. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dogsitter.”

Ms. Pat and family are Excellent sitters! They were very communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos while we were away. It was clear our Blizzard was well cared for and loved. We truly appreciated their attentiveness and will definitely book with them again for future trips!
tamikia was so amazing. this was my first time using rover and i was nervous about leaving my pup for 2 weeks but tamikia’s incredible response time and constant photo updates put me completely at ease. when i picked my dog up, she was so comfortable at tamikia’s house that she wasn’t even that excited to see me lol. i will 1000% be using tamikia for any future care. this is your sign to stop browsing on rover and book tamikia!!!
This was our dog Ollie’s third time with Alice and not only was he in great hands with her, we were also so grateful for her flexibility with our ever adjusting schedule. It’s hard leaving your pup behind, even for a short while but it helps so much to have someone reliable, professional, and flexible! Thanks again Alice!!
This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Saya and David were amazing! I had to book a sitter at the last minute, and they made the whole experience stress-free. I have two dogs with very different needs—one is high-energy, and the other is older and has a lot of anxiety—and they did a great job caring for both of them. They were very responsive, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
As always, Spencer and Nellie took amazing care of our dog Hazel. This stay was for 8 nights and we had complete peace of mind while we were traveling. It's clear how much care and thought both Spencer and Nellie put into everything that they do. Their daily updates were detailed, transparent, and always included fun photos. They even celebrated Hazel's gotcha day while we were gone. I cannot recommend them enough, they are the sitters we trust most with our girl!
Zenith was amazing! My sitter canceled on me at the last minute and she agreed to take care of my dog for me the same morning that I had to leave. She took him to the dog park where he got to run around and have social time. She also provided me with multiple updates that included pictures. I would definitely rebook her and recommend her as a sitter!
Barbara was such an amazing host to our puppy Astra! She sent over plenty of pictures and a wonderful video of our pup playing with her dogs. Astra had a great time and came home absolutely exhausted which is a rare sight. Looking forward to booking with her again!
Jennifer is the best dog sitter, we love bringing my dog Nico with her. I know he is going to be cared for when we drop him off and she provides excellent communication and picture updates. Nico is happy to see her always - she is a gem among dog sitters we are so greatful to have found her!
We couldn't be happier with Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Stella, for a weekend stay. We received several updates and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Stella tends to have separation anxiety but immediately settled in with Rachel and came home calm, happy, healthy, and tired from all the playtime. We'll definitely book again!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
