I have used Rover for several years and have had some really good providers. However Juliana, Cooper, and Betty Boop are amazing and my Pup felt right at home. I can honestly say I have found Bubblez new home away from home. I can now travel and not get anxiety leaving my Fur baby. Juliana is warm, caring and loved my Pup as if she were her own. Bubblez did not come home disheveled which made me feel much better. I highly recommend Juliana! ❤️

My French bulldog just spent 2 nights with Dana and Max-and he had a wonderful time! He also has a polyp which means wiping after popping-which was handled with care. We will be a steady, repeat customers!!

Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.

I was incredibly greatful Donte was able to watch Marley very last minute after someone else cancelled 2 days before and another ghosted me after agreeing. Marley has never stayed outside our house, so I (and Marley) was so nervous, but he seemed just perfect.

Host is a good communicator and very time conscious. He sent in pics and kept us informed of how the pups were doing. We left our Husky and Lab babies with Brian. They had plenty of exercise in the back yard with other dogs, a total of 6 when we boarded ours. We would definitely rebook with him !

Kelly loved her stay with George! His dogs were great with her, and she enjoyed his fenced yard and walks in the woods. I know this, because when I picked her up, she wanted to go back in his house. 😂 The updates with pictures were great while we were away.

Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!

Olivia was absolutely amazing with our senior pups, Luna (our Husky) and Kiwi (our Pug). It’s not always easy finding someone who understands the needs of older dogs, but Olivia was incredibly patient and kind. She kept us updated throughout their stay with sweet photos and check-ins that made us feel completely at ease. Kiwi still has bursts of playful energy, while Luna enjoys a slower, calmer pace — and Olivia balanced their different needs beautifully. We came home to two happy pups and that says everything. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely book with Olivia again in a heartbeat.

Dana is a great listener, followed our every expectations & then some. The pictures received didn't even look like the pugs were even over @ another home, which made us feel so relieved & relaxed🥰🤗. You could tell they were really cared for & loved as if they were her owned.

Rosie had a great time at Kevin’s house with his dog and the other pups he was boarding. She came back happy and relaxed. Kevin was very thorough when we met up, and he asked lots of questions so that I would feel safe leaving Rosie. I’m very happy with the experience and I will use Kevin again soon.

Rose is an AMAZING sitter. My dog Papi loves to stay with her and her son. Rose does a great job sending updates and sharing photos of my baby while I’m away. She is also flexible; there have been times I have had to go away for work on short notice and Rose is always available. She’s apart of the family now! We love Rose! Be sure to book with her!

FAQs for Boarding - Essington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Essington on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,244 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Essington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Essington 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 Essington 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 Essington 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 Essington.

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 Essington 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.
