“Our dog Henry stayed with Betsy and Ron for 6 days June 2026. They were fantastic in every way. Very friendly and interested in making sure Henry (and my wife and I) were completely comfortable with the arrangement during our vacation. We received frequent text updates with pictures which we truly appreciated. We would gladly book with them again in the future.”
“I’m so happy I found Kristin to watch my girl. She took great care of her and was extremely communicative. My dog is a very anxious girl but Kristin was patient and and kind to her. Will definitely have Kristin watch her again.”
“Absolutely wonderful pet care! Tanya and David were extremely accommodating to our two large dogs (rottweiler, belgian malinois). They have specialized diets that werent an issue and we received updates throughout our entire trip. You could tell they really care about your fur buddy just as much as you do. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.”
“2nd time that Charissa and Shawn has taken in our baby Gorgon and literally made himself at home. We have been very lucky in finding them because our dog is a fairly nervous and anxious boy so traditional boarding places just don’t work for him. He absolutely adores them and their kids and he’s a lot happier being one on one with someone to care for him. Thank you so much for watching over him and for sure using these guys again and again when need be.”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Kaylee was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she was super detailed and sweet - made him Easter egg treats 🥚💕 to take home! Kept me posted with adorable pics too. Highly recommend!”
“Deborah was great with our 9 year old terrier. She was very communicative and sent updated pictures throughout our trip. When we returned, our dog was calm and content. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life from German Shepherds to our little cavachon. Since my kids are getting older and don’t need as much help, I have time to take care of your precious pets when you need it! I’m here to take care of everyone! My day is full of making sure every person and every pet has what they need! Walking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and mess making-someone has to take care of it all! I have a good sized yard and a nice wooded park with walking paths nearby for daily walks and outside time. Our home is clean and comfortable with big kids coming and going who love animals like I do!
“Dolly must have had a wonderful time with Beth and the family. I'm not even so sure she's glad to be home. Lol. We will definitely reach out to Beth next time we need Dolly to go in vacation.”
“Leaving Daisy for 3 weeks in a kennel would have broken our hearts. Instead she stayed with a wonderful family! Big thanks to Donna for taking tremendous care of our pup and putting our minds at ease while we were away. Great communication and plenty of pictures kept us in the loop. We will definitely use Donna again!!”
“Our dogs stay with Danielle and Bri was great! They took great care of our dog and even gave him a bath after a fun day playing outside at their beautiful homestead. It was peace of mind having a meet and greet before his week long stay but he joined their pack right away. Great communication and wonderful people.”
“Michael was very accommodating regarding booking my pup’s stay being that it was somewhat last minute. This was the first time I had booked with Michael, and everything was great. He was very attentive and communicated with me throughout the three-day stay. He did Pup Painting with her, and she came home with her masterpiece! I know my baby was taking care of, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Amy took excellent care of my dog. She was very nice and welcoming. She sent pictures of my dog and communicated well. Would recommend her and her husband to anyone!”
About: I grew up around dogs and understand the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy everything from casual neighborhood walks to longer adventures. When caring for your dog, I’ll treat them like one of my own—providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to provide dog walking services in the evenings and on weekends. Most weekends I am available, especially with a little advance notice to plan ahead. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits both their needs and mine. Growing up with dogs and having a love for the outdoors, I enjoy spending time walking and caring for pets, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and spent years caring for them, I understand their body language and can recognize when they’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply need a break. I will treat your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs—so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“Jordan's home and property could not be a better place for Mac to spend a few days away from us, but the real reason I'll come back is Jordan's kindness, love for dogs, and incredible communication. A+, 10/10, 5 stars.”
“Amanda was great! She sent us a picture and update every day and was quick to respond when we asked how Fiona was doing. This was only the second time anyone outside our family watched Fiona and she does take time to warm up to new people. Our family was super hesitant to leave her. Amanda made us feel much better. We will definitely ask Amanda to watch her again.”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Ephrata sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ephrata landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ephrata 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 Ephrata.
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.
You and your Ephrata 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.
