“Michael was so wonderful with my two little dogs while I was away. I could tell from the daily videos that they were fitting right in with the pack and that they were comfortable there. I honestly felt like they were having just as good of a time there as I was on my vacation! I will definitely be booking again with Michael!”
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life. I am a certified groomer and volunteered at the Norfolk Animal Care. I am a retired teacher and have three floors of house that the dogs can play in or an acre of fenced in yard. I am retired teacher who bought the house of her dreams and wants to spend as much time as I can in it. Your pup will have me 24 hours a day. I have a fenced in yard with multiple gates that are kept locked. I also live on a dead end road that gets very little traffic. I have a large suv that I can transport dogs in if needed.
“Lindsey and Bob are the best. My dog is very friendly but a lot to handle because he has high exercise needs. They do a great job not only taking care of him but also he has a blast there playing with their dogs and family. I highly recommend them!”
“This was the best pet sitting experience we could have hoped for! It is our first time using Rover and Laurie was an absolute delight. She treated Sadie as if she were her own and updated us daily with photos. We will 100% recommend and use her again ! 10/10!”
“Milissa provided lucky with the best care. You can tell she has a true passion and care for animals. I am always a little scared to leave my dog behind but Milissa was responsive and kept me up to date on all of his activities even shared photos. When I picked him up he was a very happy dog. Highly recommend, she has a great fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run around and enjoy a beautiful day.”
“Allison and her family were great with my dog! They sent lots of photos and gave updates on how she was doing. And Willow made friends with their dog who was very well mannered!!”
“Maria was an awesome sitter for Bruno. The pictures told the story. He had a blast running around and met several new friends. I will most certainly be reaching out to Maria in the future.”
“Cheryl provided loving, thorough care to our spoiled 4 year old shishon! She sent pictures and videos and was very easy to coordinate with throughout the process. It definitely gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing he was in a safe, cuddly environment!”
“Emily and Patrick and of course Eli were wonderful with my little guy! So warm and welcoming during the meet and greet and very easy going with lots of picture and video updates! I felt at ease knowing my pup was loved on and cared for while I was out of town and would highly recommend them for anyone in need of a dog sitter.”
“Mary and her family cared for zucchini like he was their own!! I absolutely recommend your pet staying with them. Zucchini already can’t wait for me to go on another trip so he can see his friends again.”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
“Meliisa and her family are amazing !!! They took such great care of Balto !! Balto became part of the family while he was there and enjoyed all the things he does at home :). Highly recommend Meliisa !!”
“Ashley and her whole family were amazing with our puppy! She was exhausted when she got home. We can’t wait to visit her again. Her updates assured us that Sophie was in great hands! I don’t think she even missed us!”
About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, from young puppies to adult dogs. I administer medication to my own friendly dog twice a day, so I’m comfortable incorporating medication schedules into a dog’s daily routine. I’ve also cared for an 8-week-old puppy for an extended three weeks while the parents were international, which gave me experience with the extra attention, patience, supervision, and consistency that young puppies need. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love while making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable. I can also walk dogs together when their temperaments, leash manners, and walking needs are a good match. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own! I work part-time remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Since I’m home most of the time, I can give your pets plenty of attention and help keep them on their normal routines. My son has a few evening activities that typically last about an hour, but otherwise, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I love being able to provide pets with dependable, loving care and make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them in their own home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work part-time remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for drop-in visits to check on pets, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medications when needed, and offer playtime, companionship, and cuddles. In my home, I have a friendly, animal-loving dog who enjoys having company. I keep plenty of toys and treats on hand to keep pets happy and entertained, and I can provide a crate or a separate room if a pet needs their own quiet space. I also have a yard with a dog-run tether for supervised outdoor time. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own!
“Joe took good care of our pup Poe while we were away. He and Vanessa, his boys, and his dog Pickle all gave Poe a very warm and welcoming reception! He was very attentive to all the care details I communicated, and we appreciated how he sent us lots of photos and videos during her stay. Poe was in great spirits when we picked her up, and we plan on booking with Joe again in the future!”

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.
94% of sitters in Ellport 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 Ellport 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 Ellport.
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 Ellport. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 Ellport 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.
