“Second time booking with Charlie, first time boarding. It was a smooth and stress-free experience. My dog seemed very happy playing with the other pups. You know your pup is always in good hands with Charlie.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“I’ve used Rover app for years now and Jesse is the best sitter we’ve ever had. She took such great care of Romeo and sent tons of pictures and updates. He looked like he was in his own house while in her care.”
“Satsuki was amazing. She watched our 5-month-old husky overnight last minute and made our first boarding experience completely stress-free. She sent photo updates, communicated clearly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well cared for. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book again. 10/10 recommend.”
“Christina was wonderful in taking care of Lilo. She attended well to her needs and gave her extra treats in spoiling her. She communicated well and gave me updates of Lilo on a daily basis and throughout the day.”
“Kim was incredibly kind, honest, and genuinely interested in making sure our two dogs were happy during their stay. Our dogs have specific needs and one is over 100lbs. Kim’s home was perfect and safe for them. She has a fully fenced yard and they also had free-roam of her lovely, clean home. We live over an hour away, but Kim is more than worth the drive. I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about how well our dogs were cared for. She is the best of the best!”
About: Hello! If you are looking for a dependable, active, and loving caregiver for your furry family member, I would love to help. I have years of experience owning dogs and caring for cats, ranging from young to seniors and small to large breeds. I offer dog and cat drop-ins, dog walking, and dog boarding. I will only accept dog boarding requests from peope I know. I will ensure your pet gets the exact exercise, care, and affection they need. I treat every animal like my own and look forward to giving you total peace of mind while you're away! I am currently working a part time job with flexibility so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets and help to keep them happy and healthy. I am a former educator with a background in both public and private schools, which means I bring a high level of organization, care, and attention to detail to everything I do.
“I HIGHLY recommend Tavin!!!! She is so sweet and I can tell she really loves animals and cares for them. I LOVED and appreciated all the adorable updates on how my fur baby was while I was away. I will definitely reach out to her when I need a puppy sitter from now on!!!”
“We are really happy with the way our dog was treated and the follow-ups that we received. Even though the booking was last minute, we were able to meet with Hannah and her Boxer before our departure. Our dog has never played with or bothered to interact with other dogs so it was comforting that her dog and ours instantly started playing. Hannah provided almost daily brief updates about how our dog was doing (everyday was a good report minus the first day that he was trying to adjust) and she told us that everything went smoothly. We would definitely consider and recommend Hannah.”
“Lynn was incredible! She kept our pup happy, healthy and safe and we know he got plenty of exercise and love which we truly appreciate. Anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter, look no further! :)”
About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other household pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust while providing attentive, personalized care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and maintaining consistent routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am proud of my commitment to treating every pet like family. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being so I can quickly notice any changes that may need attention. I communicate regularly with pet owners, provide updates and photos, and always strive to give them peace of mind while they’re away. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, or shy animals that need extra patience, I provide loving, responsible care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home with generous breaks. While my schedule is 9-5, I wake early to go on walks in my neighborhood, and my work day includes 1.5 hours of breaks. After work is much like “before work”. A pet would work perfectly in this schedule I have a 3 story townhome and garage! I recently installed a fence! I will keep the pet entertained with fetch, and other stimulating games and puzzles
About: Hi! While I don’t have professional pet care experience yet, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am excited to finally get the chance to experience what it’s like to care for a pet. I’m kind, patient, and gentle—and I’m eager to provide your furry family member with lots of attention and affection. In my daily life, I’m a student and also help take care of a baby, so I’m used to being responsible, organized, and attentive. I live a very clean and healthy lifestyle—I don’t smoke, I enjoy a calm home environment, and I take routines seriously. I believe pets can feel energy, and I bring a peaceful and caring presence they’ll feel safe around. I may be new to pet sitting, but I promise to treat your pet like part of my family. I’m here to learn, grow, and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I’m usually home in the mornings and afternoons, and I enjoy spending my free time in calm, peaceful environments—perfect for caring for pets. Because I already help care for a baby as part of my routine, I’m used to planning my day around someone else’s needs. Adding pet care to my daily life feels natural and exciting. Whether it’s a potty break, play session, or cuddle time, I’m happy to fit it into my schedule and make your pet feel safe and loved. I live in a quiet, clean apartment with a large grassy area just outside—perfect for walks, potty breaks, and safe outdoor play. It's a pet-friendly community, and I always keep pets leashed and closely supervised when outside to make sure they stay safe. I maintain a calm and tidy home environment with no smoking, no other pets, and no young children running around—so your pet will have a peaceful and safe place to relax. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely and pay attention to the little things—like keeping water bowls full, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Trust and communication are very important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands.

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.
95% of sitters in Dott 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 Dott 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 Dott.
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 Dott. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Dott 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.
