I had a wonderful experience with Carismeldi taking care of my dog. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible throughout the entire stay. What I appreciated most was that she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and received lots of attention and affection. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter!

All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol

About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.

I can’t begin to describe what a pleasant experience this was all around. My partner and I have had the same Rover doggy-god-mother for about 2.5 years and she recently moved to NYC and we were desperate and scared to find a loving caretaker for our pups. Sarah and Anthony are the definition of doggy heaven! We were so anxious and they were willing to do a meet and greet with us two weeks before the scheduled overnight stay! It was an instant click! Their apartment is beautiful and the yard is a godsend! During the actual stay Sarah was amazing with updates and pictures that really helped to ease our anxiety. The at the end of the stay, when we thought it couldn’t get better, they came home with a letter from the pups detailing their visit and their experience! Wow! Beyond impressed with Sarah and Anthony! Bambina and Bruno will be back very very Soon! Thanks for existing you lovely ”humans” as the dogs call ya on the letter (haha!)

When I first met Laura, I was impressed by how she handled my fearful and sometimes reactive dog. Her calm and confident demeanor and her caring attitude quickly won over Calvin. Within minutes of meeting Laura and her dog, Wally, Calvin was literally eating out of her hands. Laura not only gave me peace of mind during my vacation by sending me photos of Calvin and keeping me updated, but she also made Calvin feel safe and part of her family. I will definitely use Laura's services again!

Kavya and Adam were AMAZING caretakers to our new puppy Bruce! This was our first time leaving our dog since adoption and they made us feel so at ease. We got adorable photo and video pupdates and when we came to pick up Bruce, it was clear he had an great time. Added bonus: Kavya and Adam are the nicest people ever. 15/10 would recommend them to anyone!!!

Saya and David were amazing! I had to book a sitter at the last minute, and they made the whole experience stress-free. I have two dogs with very different needs—one is high-energy, and the other is older and has a lot of anxiety—and they did a great job caring for both of them. They were very responsive, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Essington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 3,398 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Essington. About 89% of Essington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
