“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.”
“I’m very happy I found Rita. This was a last minute decision and it worked out very well. Princess was very well cared for while at Rita’s. Princess will be a repeat client for sure”
“We had a fantastic experience with Andres He is flexible and accommodating, which made coordinating drop-off and pick-up so easy. Most importantly, our dog Murphy felt completely at home—relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We appreciated the updates and personal touches. It made it so much easier for us to leave him, knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Perfect place for my pampered pet. I thought he might not want to leave. Lots of cozy places for him to snuggle with other pets and both Emily & Christine. Plenty of room to run around outside and fun kids too. play with”
“Danita and her family were amazing with our dog Finley. She updated us frequently and sent photos of our dog settling in and getting comfortable. I knew our dog was in good hands, was well taken care of, and got plenty of walks and belly rubs. I would 100% recommend Danita to care for your dog!”
“Juliana and her family embraced Aiden like one of their own. He was surrounded by love, constant attention, and she went above and beyond to make us feel secure and kept him safe. She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Elise and Daniel are beyonnddd amazing!! I’m so incredibly grateful to have found them….they were so easy to work with and so flexible with me…..their home is very warm and homey, the kind where everyone feels at home….They took such great care of my chihuahua….I was visiting for an event and staying downtown, it was very close by and I wish that I could use them full time but I live out of state….thank you so much Elise, Daniel and Eli for taking such amazing care of Waffles….im so grateful and I loved meeting you 🤗🙏”
“This was my pup's second time staying with Trey and her second time having a safe and exciting place to stay while I was away. Tilly had so much fun playing with Trey's dogs and I could see from the updates that she was getting out and about and working off all her energy. Already have a time booked for later this summer!”
“It’s always nerve racking trying to find a new sitter when the old one falls through but Chyann was great! Addressed all concerns and kept great communication while we were away. Best of all our husky didn’t come back home with bad habits which happens a lot. 10/10, I definitely recommend”
“David is clearly such a kind soul who knows and cares a lot about the dogs he works with. My 2 dogs had the pleasure of staying at his home while we went on vacation. He made me feel more than comfortable in his ability to care for my dogs and even asked me a few questions to double check he knew all he needed to know. He was easy to get in touch with, sent me pictures and kept me updated! He was also extremely accommodating with pick up/drop off timing. My dogs came home happy. I would 100% ask David to care for my dogs again. He's great with dogs and quite a pleasure to speak with. 5 Stars!”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
“Richard took great care of my dog and provided timely updates and pictures which was very much appreciated. Fanny has some separation anxiety but seemed right at home and comfortable with Richard, I would highly recommend!”
“Amy and Cathy took our two dogs in for two weeks while we were in Japan. It's clear that they're both avid dog lovers, so I had no worries while away because I knew the pups were in great hands! They texted a few updates and pictures as well. We could tell our dogs were having a good time with good people. I would absolutely recommend Amy and Cathy!”
“Julia was amazing. We had an out of town wedding and she took care of our Finn like her own. She has a little Yorkie named Archie and Finn and he had some much fun together. I was so relieved by Julia's updates and pictures that she sent. Finn loves to walk and she took him out for many walks in her very walkable neighborhood. I highly recommend Julia for your next getaway.”
“Laura was the absolute best!! I couldn’t ask for a better person and environment for my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away - I was confident that my dog was being loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Enrica & Roberto rolled out the red carpet for our Frannie. Numerous photo updates, with accompanying messages, definitely put our minds at ease. When I went to pick up our little girl, I wasn’t sure she would want to come home!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elam
We had a wonderful experience with Eleanor and her family watching our chocolate lab, Reggie, for a week! They were so accommodating and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything really easy. Reggie had a blast playing with Gus, and we could tell he was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Eleanor and will definitely be reaching out for future stays!
Stevie stayed with Patti for the second time and when we arrived to drop her off, she sprinted to the door…couldn’t get in to see Patti and her furry friends quick enough. I think that speaks volumes to the care and compassion that Patti provides! Stevie loves and we will continue to utilize when we need a sitter!!

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 Elam home-away-from-home, 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 Elam.
<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 Elam 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 , 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 .
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.
