“Hardy was great with my two chocolate labs. House was beautiful and clean, he sent pictures and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We had an unexpected delay in our trip and Hardy was able to watch the dogs for an additional night. Recommend 100% will be using him again. Thank you so much!”
“Katie was wonderful and our dog had a blast and was well taken care of! She sent lots of photos and was extremely communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up. I highly recommend her!”
“It was our first time going on vacation without our dog, but our dog had an amazing time at Yuhan’s! Yuhan was always responsive and send many photos and updates. I am so grateful we have a sitter who I can trust will love my dog as much as I do!”
“Milissa was amazing with Thor! Even with Thor’s separation anxiety, she was patient, attentive, and handled him so well. She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I could tell Thor was well cared for and in good hands. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again.”
“Yuka and her family were great with Lilly. She sent us thoughtful updates with pictures everyday. She listened and followed our directions. She took care of Lilly like she was her own dog. It felt like Lilly was on vacation too while we are away. We will definitely book her again for our next vacation. Thank you so much guys for taking care our Lilly. We really appreciate it.”
“By far the smoothest boarding experience my dog has ever had! Firstly, she loved Mike’s dog, Trent, who is so good with the other dogs. I look for a boarder who pays attention to the individual temperaments of the dogs and keeps a manageable capacity. Mike is really careful when introducing new boarders to each other and monitoring them as they come in and out of his home. If you want a super chill experience for your dog (who doesn’t?) I highly recommend Mike! Thank you so much for hosting Kaley!”
“Daja was phenomenal with my pup Samson! Daja was very easy to coordinate with and was super communicative about how Samson was doing. My pup left with a smile on his face, so I will be rebooking with Daja in the future!!”
“Lizzy was fantastic - good communication, easy to make arrangements, and most importantly, great with my pups. They came back happy and healthy and obviously had a great time. Thanks!”
“Jessica and Ben are absolutely amazing. They took care JoJo as their own kid , I have been through numerous puppy sitters but Jessica is the best I’ve found so far, wouldn’t mind driving 90 min to drop off JoJo - they sent constant videos of him playing , eating and his activities - It was an absolute blessing to find such folks before Christmas”
“What an amazing boarding experience! Mirit and Shava took wonderful care of my Khali. They sent pictures and updates which provided peace of mind and also showed me how happy Khali was in their home. I absolutely will book again. Highly recommend!!!”
“Christina was amazing and took such great care of our dog Clementine! She sent us daily updates and pictures which we really appreciated. We will definitely book with her in the future!”

Gabriela is one of Barkley’s favorite sitters. She loves the whole family and gets so excited when I drop her off. It’s a great comfort when someone loves your dog as much as you do. I never worry when Barkley is there. I’ve already scheduled more time with her because of that.
Lizzy took wonderful care of my dog over a weekend at her house, and I would definitely send my pup to Lizzy’s again for a stay! My dog has anxiety and takes daily medication, and Lizzy had no issues providing her care. Lizzy was very communicative providing updates and answering questions with quick responses. My pup loved spending time in her spacious, fenced in backyard and came home very happy!
Ilana was absolutely wonderful. I get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she is so caring and well-informed. From the first meet and greet, I could tell Ilana was extremely invested and knowledgeable about pet sitting. She asked insightful questions that helped me fill out my dog's care plan more carefully. During the visit, I received tons of pictures and updates. My dog doesn't always like to go on walks, but Ilana kept me in the loop on what their activities were for the day. I received many videos of my dog playing with her interactive feeder toys or chasing a ball around with Ilana. I felt confident that she was getting plenty of exercise and stimulation during the stay. My dog seemed relaxed and comfortable when I picked her up. I will definitely be using Ilana again in the future!
Jacob was great with our dog while we were away for two weeks. He was easy to communicate with prior to the trip and set up a meet and greet so we could make sure Lacey was comfortable with him and in his home. During the trip he provided daily updates and even bought her a new frisbee when she tore hers up playing. Would definitely trust Jacob with our dog again next time we travel!
Joseph was fantastic with our pooch Ned. We recieved solid updates and a good amount of photos. Ned gets a little nervous at first when he is at a new sitters house, but he quickly relaxed and was hanging out with Joseph and some other pooches. Highly recommend Joseph and he comes and more reasonable price than many.
Jacqueline is the best dog sitter! She had a handful with my rescue Dude, a Shih Tzu mix. He was not medicated enough, because I did not realize that he was not quite as comfortable as he seemed at the Meet & Greet. Jacqueline called us, and we figured out a different medication schedule which did work. I recommend this sitter highly!
Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!
Barbara was great with Java Chip! She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, followed all care instructions, and made Java Chip feel right at home in a clean, safe environment. Barabara genuinely loves the dogs in her care. We'll definitely book with Barbara again!
I can't thank Lindsay enough for taking such amazing care of my 10-year-old dog, Peanut. I had a family emergency and needed to travel unexpectedly, and she accepted my last-minute request without hesitation. This was the very first time I had ever left Peanut with anyone, so I was incredibly nervous. Lindsay made the entire experience so much easier by sending me regular updates, messages, and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She and her family treated Peanut like he was one of their own. They were patient, loving, and attentive to his needs, and I could tell he was well cared for and comfortable. Knowing my senior pup was in such good hands meant the world to me during a difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. Thank you, Lindsay, for everything you did for Peanut—we are so grateful!
Katherine was an absolute life saver and caregiver to our dog, Mandy, while we were on vacation. She had recently had some swelling due to a bug bite. It was horrible timing to go on vacation, but Katherine had everything under control and made sure to let me know everyday how she was doing. She had to give her medicine multiple times per day and had no problems. I appreciated all of the daily pictures, videos and even the way they included Mandy in their 4th of July celebration. I highly recommend her. And I’m grateful to have found a dependable dog sitter for our next out of town event. Thank you again!

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.
