“Marissa and Kevin are truly a needle in a haystack here on Rover. They are extremely attentive, caring, and understanding of our pups unique behaviors and needs. They have a wonderful home and outdoor space. They took our pup on many adventures and made sure he was very well loved throughout his stay—the pictures we received were AMAZING. We are so relieved to have found Marissa and Kevin and have already planned many more boarding sessions with them.”
“There are not enough words to express how my dog related to Laurie and her entire family. I felt so comfortable leaving my little guy there; He had so much fun. When we returned for a second visit, he knew immediatly where we were going upon turning onto Laurie's street and he became so excited. Upon seeing Laurie, he greeted her with all the love in the world. Wonderful experience!! Best decision ever!”
About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.
“Took great care of our 2 dogs, one of which was extremely high energy and handled them without any issues. Very friendly in person. kept in contact, answered any questions we had and also sent photos.”
“Chelsea was awesome! She’s a great communicator and sent lots of pics while we were away. Our dog Tugboat was clearly comfortable and well cared for. Five-plus stars — would absolutely recommend.”
“Jessica is the best! Our dog Mochi has stayed with her several times now and enjoys each visit so much. She is professional, easy to communicate with, and super reliable. Highly recommend!”
“Deena was awesome! She gave so many amazing updates throughout Zooey’s stay. So nice to have such a lovely person to look after my anxious little pup! We will definitely be staying with Deena again!”
“My dog Fonzie had so much fun with Erin and her family! Got lots of updates, loved the pics! Erin was very communicative, friendly, and flexible. I’ll definitely be sending Fonzie to stay with her again!”
“Eliza was SO wonderful with our dog Maddie (second Rover of all time!) and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Excellent communication, I love that she watches only one dog at a time, was so quick to text back and send pictures/updates (even without me asking), easy drop off and pick up. Will 100% be using her again and I know our dog is going to be missing all the nice long walks she went on with Eliza!!”
“Su and her family did an amazing job taking care of Milo for our trip! I got daily updates and he looked like he was having a blast. I really appreciated how flexible they were with meet up times too. We’ll definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch him!”
“This is the second time Zoey stayed with them and I only have positive things to say! Peter and Julie are wonderful as always and we will definitely continue to use them again.”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog, Cooper. She provided me with many updates and pictures. I really felt good having Cooper in her hands. She was very active with him and he loved all the attention and exercise. I plan to have Cooper stay with Elizabeth in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, so I learned early how to handle their daily needs. Years of experience have helped me learn how to read different personalities. As of now I am home during the day so I am available for boardings in the morning, afternoon, and evening throughout the whole week. I provide a tranquil, stress-free space for pets in my home, carefully sticking to their specific meal times and offering plenty of monitored play. My priority is offering consistent, caring companionship so they feel just as safe and cherished as they would in their own living room.
“Hilary and her husband were awesome and my dog couldn’t have had a better time. I got plenty of updates and he was so happy when I picked him up, would have them watch him again anytime”
“Erika was an exceptional sitter! She took amazing care of Nino while I was out of town providing updates with pictures. She was very helpful and easy when it came to booking with her. Will definitely book her again!”
“Kiara did an amazing job, keeping my pup happy with lots of love and play, and keeping me happy with lots of great pics and vids of my pup. She also responded very well to my flight delay. Thank you, Kiara”
“Lincy was a great Rover! Cannoli has a lot of energy and she got lots of exercise and playtime with long walks and trips to the dog parks! Got plenty of updates too. 10/10!”

Paloma was fantastic and her family is wonderful. She arranged a meet and greet for her big fluff of a dog and my tiny dachshund. They got along great. My dog was happy and comfortable and relaxed when I picked him up. He had a great time emptying their toy box! I will book again.
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.
Saya and David are absolutely incredible pet sitters! They sent us plenty of updates about Cricket’s stay. They also were so wonderfully kind to her; snuggling her, playing fetch, basically treating her like she was their own family member. I’ve never felt so safe leaving my pup before!
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 ❤️

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
