“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“She was great! Luna was having some digestive issues while we were out of state, she went above and beyond to make sure Luna was okay until we got back. Thank you again!”
“Christy and her family are the absolute best in taking such good care of my little Jazzy. Their home is absolutely beautiful and they allow him to truly be part of their family by laying on the sofa and the bed which is what he is so used to. I can always go away and have peace of mind knowing that my dog is being loved and taken good care of by Christy and her wonderful family.”
“Alexandra has walked my dog for me in the past and just boarded him for the weekend for me too. If I could give her more than five stars- I would. She’s a sweetheart and I know my dog is always safe & entertained with her. She even went above and beyond and came and picked him up for me to make things easier. She sent pictures & videos throughout the whole weekend which we loved! I’d definitely recommend her and will always use her in the future. Thanks again Alex!!! ☺️”

About: I have about 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have always enjoyed being around animals. My in-laws also had 10 dogs, which gave me even more experience being around different dogs and understanding their needs and personalities. I’m comfortable around dogs and enjoy giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I will treat every pet as if they were part of my own family! I work part-time as a youth secretary at my church and spend the rest of my time being a mom. My flexible schedule allows me to make time for pet care, dog walking, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being outdoors with my kids and would love to include caring for your furry family member in my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities! I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs your dog may have. I believe in providing a loving, patient, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I will keep you updated and treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own family.
“Very happy with the care Seneca received from Karter. She must have had a great time playing with their Shepherd puppy. Seneca is much stronger now after her stay with them. We plan on using Karter M. again in the future. Thanks again Darice”
“Vicki was absolutely wonderful with our 15-year-old terrier, Dash. I was nervous to board our geriatric pup, but she immediately put me at ease with her warm, communicative care. Her space is beautiful and felt like a true “home away from home.” Dash came back rested, well-fed, and clearly very loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. We can’t wait to rebook with Vicki for Dash’s next little vacation!”
“Emily was great with our 2 boys!!! You could see the happiness when I came to pick them up. They got to spend time at the campground which I’m sure they loved and they got treats. We got pictures. It was great 10 out of 10 Thank you Emily!!!”

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 Espy 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 Espy.
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 Espy 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.
