“Patty is the absolute best! She took such great care of my dog Pippa for an extended stay. She was so kind and communicative. She treated my little girl like she was her own. She and her husband are truly dog whisperers.”
“Ben was so great!! Took amazing care of my baby doodle and sent multiple updates. He was always available if I had questions. He was so friendly and clearly cared for my dog as if it was his own. I will definitely use again!!”
“Juliana and her family embraced Aiden like one of their own. He was surrounded by love, constant attention, and she went above and beyond to make us feel secure and kept him safe. She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”
“Dana was the best sitter we could ask for! She was super communicative and shared lots of photos. Our dog clearly had a fantastic time and we will absolutely bring him back for our next vacation!”
“Ian has done a wonderful job taking care of our pup for us! He has checked in with us throughout our dogs stay, keeping us updated on her condition. I think she is going to be sad to come home! I highly recommend Ian for your dogs!”
“Liliana took great care of our senior beagle! Liliana is responsive, sent photos and took Merlin to play in the park on his vacation. Always appreciate your time and support”
“David was fantastic and we even extended needed to extend our stay due to flight delays! He was super flexible. Our Coco had the best time! We definitely hope to use David again. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family. Thank you!”
“Michell was great. They took great care of our new pup. She was well taken care of. The daily updates with photos were more than helpful to keep us posted. The original meet and greet was helpful and put us at ease. I never used a pet service like Rover. We are planning on using them again and I would recommend them to anyone needing pet services”
“Sarah took care of my dog Boomer well! This is the second time in two weeks we left Boomer with Sarah. It was very rare for him, a rescue dog who is very cautious to those outside family, not to growl to someone trying to reach with hand while in my wife’s arms. It happened to Sarah. It means that Boomer trusts Sarah. It shows how much she cared for Boomer while he is with her. I will definitely take Boomer again to Sarah next time.”
“Chrissy did a great job with our dog Teddy. So kind and thoughtful — even getting him a new toy when he chewed through his! Great family environment and personal care. We highly recommend Chrissy!”
“Great place for dogs to spend the night. Laura knows a lot about dogs and follow all the instructions for my dog. We will definitely be rebooking her services in the future!”
“Aubrey was truly a blessing to our Honey! This was my first time ever using a boarding service, so I was a little nervous at first—but the entire experience was smooth, reassuring, and positive from start to finish. Aubrey kept me updated throughout Honey’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she provided. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Came in and helped out tremendously after a last-minute change of plans! Sonia looked happy in all pics sent throughout the day. Very friendly. Asked great questions about my doggo in advance. Highly recommend for daycare!”
“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicole and Eric were fantastic with Buttercup! They kept me updated and treated her like family. She came home happy and relaxed—couldn’t ask for better sitters.”
“This was my pup's second time staying with Trey and her second time having a safe and exciting place to stay while I was away. Tilly had so much fun playing with Trey's dogs and I could see from the updates that she was getting out and about and working off all her energy. Already have a time booked for later this summer!”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“Cartier always takes such great care of Nutella! She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were on vacation. She was also SOOO accommodating when we had to leave a day earlier because of a flight change. We are very very appreciative and will definitely be booking with her again!”

Sam was amazing and took great care of our Jakey boy! I highly recommend him! Sent updates daily multiple times as well as lots of pictures. Jake got along with him very well and were definitely going to be booking again. Thank you Sam for taking such good care of our fur baby.
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.
Rocky just spent 4 days with Cinthia and her adorable dog Zoey. He had the best time and was so well taken care of. Cinthia sent me pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and I would use her again.
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! Love Ya Rose ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Essington on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,237 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.
95% 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.
