âRob was really great boarding our golden retriever, Archie. You can tell Rob takes pride in being on Rover and being a good caregiver to pets. He took many pics for us, was responsive and even made sure that Archie was comfortable during a few big storms. Went the extra mile and even got extra bones etc. for him.â
âColeen was amazing! This is our first time using Rover and we were alittle worried with leaving our high energy pup cooper in another persons home but Coleen was so welcoming and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. From the meet and greet to drop off and picking him up it couldnât have gone better. She sent updates and lots of photos throughout coopers 2 night stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her if needed again! She will be our first go to if sheâs available â¤ď¸â
âPurvi is an incredibly caring and kind person who treated our dog like family. Itâs clear that Candy loves herâher warmth and compassion shine through in everything she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such loving hands.â
âCarole was so great and I would recommend to anyone! She updated me with pictures and her home and fenced in area seems great for any sized dog. Thank you again Carole!â
âThis was our first time using Rover and we are very happy we tried it out for our vacation. My puppy looked like he was having his own vacation with Mary and her husband. Lots of cuddles, attention and getting all the pictures of our pup was a nice way to feel connected while apart. I will definitely be booking again for my next vacation. Thanks again!â
âMikaila was absolutely AMAZING! Our dog needs 1-1 attention due to anxiety and she was perfect. She took him on many walks around the city and communicated with me often. Highly highly recommend and will absolutely be using her again!â

âBrooke and Jeremy were fantastic with our two large labs! The meet and greet went well and they answered all of our questions in a personable, caring way. We got pictures and updates 2-3x a day. They have a very nice, safe, and big yard for the dogs to play in. We already booked them for the next time we are away. Highly recommend!â
About: Iâve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have had both dogs and cats throughout my life. Iâve always had a love for animals and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while youâre away. While stationed in Germany, I regularly cared for the pets of military spouses and families. This gave me experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities! I also have experience caring for pets with specific needs, including dogs and cats that require medication. Iâm very comfortable following detailed instructions from owners and making sure medications, routines, feeding schedules, and other care needs are handled properly. Most importantly, I know every pet is different & I always take the time to make sure theyâre comfortable, while also giving them the same love, attention, and dependable care I would want for my own pets. Iâm happy to work with you to schedule visits, walks, or other care based on what works best for you and your pet! I know consistency is important, so I always do my best to keep schedules as familiar and comfortable as possible while your pet is in my care. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether Iâm caring for them in my home or yours, Iâll treat them like I would my own. Iâm mindful about things like keeping doors secure, staying on top of feeding and medication schedules, and making sure they get plenty of attention. Iâm also happy to send pictures and updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
âOur dogs love being with shamira and her family! We are delighted when we see photos of the dogs enjoying so many cuddles and so much attention. This is very reassuring to us, and also exactly the reason we choose for them to be cared for in the home. Just as importantly, Shamira has been wonderfully flexible, which is invaluable when leaving town to have one less thing to worry about!â

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elephant
If we could leave more than five stars, we would. Jelly was so loved by this wonderful family that I think he would have stayed longer if he had a choice. Communication, dependability, peace of mindâAmanda provided all of that and more. This will be Jellyâs family when we are out of town from now on, no question.
Amanda and her family were like a second family for Jenga while I was in Italy. I was so nervous to leave her for 2 weeks, but the love and affection they gave to Jenga made her feel so comfortable and happy while I was away. I could not recommend this sitter any more!! 5 stars is not enough! âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
Amanda was very accommodating and helpful with our last minute request to take care of our dog for two weeks. She sent us pictures and gave us updates while we were away. Amanda treated our fury best friend like her own. We are very thankful for the care she gave our sweet Charlie. Thanks Amanda!

As of November 2026, there are 3,048 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elephant. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Elephant can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Elephant 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 Elephant.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Elephant. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Elephant sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
