“Absolutely amazing. My little dog had the greatest time, got a lot of socializing and exercise everyday. I boarded him for a week and would absolutely do so again.”
“Rhea was great with my pup! She provided regular walks and updates. My fauna is a very picky eater and Rhea was very patient and understanding with her, all around excellent care!”
“Gregory watched our mini golden for 6 days and was super communicative keeping us updated on how she was adjusting and sending lots of pictures. She had a great time”
“Jimmy took such good care of Amadeus, I’m so happy! Amadeus is an older dog with dietary issues and anxious/reactive tendencies that affect how he interacts with people and other animals. Jimmy took all of this with stride and made our dog feel at home. He gave us daily updates which put me at ease and listened to all of our concerns. I’d recommend Jimmy and his sister to anyone.”

About: I am a dependable pet sitter who is punctual and adheres to agreed-upon schedules for feeding, walks, and other pet care activities. I am also trustworthy and have a passion for animals. I currently work from home (9am-5pm), therefore my schedule is very flexible. I would love to spend time caring for animals in my lovely neighborhood. I effectively communicate to all of my clients by keeping pet owners informed about the well-being of their animals through updates, messages, or even pictures.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Rock
Firstly I’m new to the App and the service. Simply love it. Was easy to use and made it easy to connect with someone in my area. Was traveling to see my son graduate from the arm forces and had no one to watch our dog Koda. It was last minute and I was desperate to find quality help. My coworker recommended the Rover app. I connected with Joseph who was heaven sent. I went over Kodas needs. Koda took to him right away which to me was a sign! I received daily reports and photos of my dog. Will definitely use the service and Joseph again. Thank You Joseph for the excellent care!!
Hoda was phenomenal and took great care to get to know us and our dog, Lily. Lily can be anxious around unknown or unexpected humans (mail carriers!) and also reactive around other dogs. I really worried that we wouldn't find someone who could handle her blend of behaviors. Hoda was a great listener and brought a level of calm and patience that were just right to soothe Lily's anxiety and win her trust and loyalty. We were able to really enjoy and relax over our vacation thanks to the confidence we had in Hoda. She brings great experience and a warm connection that is just what we needed. Definitely recommend her!
Regina and Cornelius are the best! Always quick to respond to messages. Very welcoming upon ou meet up and it was reassuring to see that our dog Agnes got along well with their dog right away. My favorite is how consistent and how often they send pics as they take Agnes for walks very frequently, which she loves. Would highly recommend!
Hanna is an absolute lifesaver! She and her mom stepped up to watch my pup with special needs when his original care plans fell through the day before my trip. She not only learned how to care for his specific needs, but provided him with endless love and snuggles. I would recommend Hanna and her mom to anyone. They are truly the sweetest.
Ryan was reliable and accommodating, especially when I needed to make last-minute changes to my dates. I received daily photos and updates, communication was great throughout, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely book with Ryan again and highly recommend!
Juntae was amazing. He kept up with my high energy boy and sent awesome updates. He was very communicative and responsive. I even got an awesome report card at the end of Grizzley’s stay! Which I thought was a very cute and thoughtful touch. Thank you Juntae!! Can’t wait to rebook!
Lilly and her sister did a great job taking care of Presley! Presley is very energetic and needs a lot of attention, and they did a great job! They also sent me pictures and provided updates on how she was doing. I recommend them if you need someone to sit for you!

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Fern Rock can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Fern Rock 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 Fern Rock.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Rock. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fern Rock 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
