“Madeline was great! Very communicative and sweet with Shorty and stayed in touch. Was flexible when we needed to pick him up 1.5 hours early. Thank you!!”
“Lauryn and Hunter have watched Ginny multiple times and I almost am carefree when she is with them. I would not trust anyone since she is a loud bunch and I receive regular updates and every licture I receive seems like she is enjoying her time. Thank you for providing such great care!”
“Deena took wonderful care of my Molly! She was kind, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell Molly was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with Deena again and highly recommend her🤍”
“Yuiko is the best sitter we have ever had. We always know our pup is safe, happy, and having a great time when he is with her family! She provides excellent updates and was so accommodating when we were running late for pick up due to Uber issues. I would recommend Yuiko to all pet parents in the area!”
“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.”

“Tony did a great job caring for Honey, a very energetic puppy who keeps you engaged. The video and photo updates provided us contentment that Honey was having a great time.

Honey had such a great time that after she got over the excitement of being back home she crawled back in her carrier asking to visit her new friends.”

Thank you Angie for taking good care of my baby 😊”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Alexandra took great cate of my senior dog Momo for 9 nights. Alexandra and her family are so lovely and had a great home and yard for my dog to enjoy. I appreciated Alexandra’s updates and photos, and I felt at ease during my whole trip. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning! Thanks Alexandra!
Bryce had great communication with me while I was on vacation always letting me know how my dog was doing and was great with updates. He was very patient with my puppy and always kind and respectful. I felt very comfortable living my puppy with him for 5 nights and will definitely book him again for a next occasion.
We’ve had a great experience with our sitter! He provides regular updates and is incredibly comfortable and confident handling our 120 lb Bullmastiff, Kaaze, who is convinced he’s a lap dog. He really goes out of his way to make Kaaze feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Kaaze is always excited to go to his house, which says a lot. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who understands how to handle a large dog and genuinely enjoys having him around. Highly recommend!
Scott was wonderful and my dog had the best time with him and his posse of dogs! The other dogs he was watching at the time were very friendly and Scott did a great job introducing them and making sure they were comfortable together. He sent lots of pics during the stay and I know my dog had unbelievable attention, exercise and love! We can’t wait to go away again so we can send Hoagie to his new favorite place!
Marci is the best! She’s so kind, gentle, and was amazing with my cats. I truly felt so secure and at peace knowing she was watching my babies. She’s communicative, careful with your cats, and treats them as your own. She’s also really knowledgeable. I know my cats felt safe and happy being in her care. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch my cats. If you’re looking for a safe sitter, and a safe space, I highly recommend Marci!
My bernedoodle had the absolute BEST time with Alberto and his family! She had so much fun playing with their golden doodle. Alberto was super accommodating and sent me the best pictures while I was away! Highly recommend and will definitely be asking him to watch my puppy again in the future!!
Tara took good care of my boy for 5 days. He doesnt take to everyone and it had been 2 years since the last time he needed a sitter so Tara allowed 2 meet and greets to make sure it was a good fit. She eased my mind with updates and pics and shared that he followed her around so I knew he took to her. He was in happy spirits when I picked him up. I could tell it was a good stay for him which made me very happy.
First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !
So happy to have found a wonderful family in the neighborhood to leave our pup with when we can't bring her with! Riley stayed for a long weekend and based on all the photo updates had a great time. Great communication, flexible for meet & greet, drop off/pick up, etc. No hesitation to have Riley stay again in the future. Thank you!
Megan was a JOY to work with. She took great care of our sweet pup, including oral meds, and she sent daily updates and pics. Plus, Megan gets bonus points for being so understanding and accommodating when I arrived for pickup a day early (I had confused my dates, whoops!). I was super embarrassed, but she graciously took it in stride and got everything packed up in 15 minutes. Megan is on our short list!
Saya and David are absolutely incredible pet sitters! They sent us plenty of updates about Cricket’s stay. They also were so wonderfully kind to her; snuggling her, playing fetch, basically treating her like she was their own family member. I’ve never felt so safe leaving my pup before!
Cartier accepted us last minute when our plans changed and quickly set up a meet and greet. She is excellent with communication and super fast with responding. She kept us informed throughout the time we were away with pictures and updates. We have two geriatric, special needs dogs and she handled everything they needed perfectly. We all adore her and would definitely rebook, and highly recommend her.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
