“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs. My best option is pet sitting. I’ve cared for many of my family pets. I love spending time with them and caring for them. I look forward to meeting many new buddies. I work at a school. I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“Yuhan was very good with my dog Teddy, and too him on short notice as I had a last minute event to attend. She was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures which I loved. She's a lovely person and filled me in everything about my pet when I picked him up.”
“Joseph was great. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and caring for these animals. My pup Selena had a blast with him and the other pups he had there. Thanks again!”
“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a small child. We started off with cats, eventually owned dogs. I also have experience with birds, ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I even held a tarantula once! As an adult, I’ve also had cats, and dogs, and have experience house breaking puppies, and caring for new mama cats and their kittens. I feel animals are usually very drawn to me. I have years of providing comfort, engagement, nourishment, and administering medication for different animals. As a pre-teen, I once had a very sick cat that almost died, and I slowly brought her back to health. This, in turn, created an unbreakable bond between us. At the moment I’m currently going to school part time and taking a few classes, so my schedule is open, and I’m very flexible. Just let me know what your needs are. I don’t have a yard due to living in an apartment, but I have plenty of space in my home. I feel that trust, consistency, and patience and lots of love are top priority when your fur baby is with me.
“Mary is amazing, I keep going back to her. She gives great updates and is not shy on giving details. She cared for my dog in the snow and kept him happy and warm. She is so sweet and my dog was so excited to see her. I would recommend!”
“Rhea was amazing! Olive had such a great time with her and her pup! She was able to answer all my questions and made me instantly feel at ease leaving my pup with her. I would absolutely rebook in an instant!”
About: Hi there! I’m a dog trainer and co-owner of Philadelphia’s first Dog Bus, a mobile doggy daycare. I work with dogs every day and can accommodate 1–2 dogs for boarding or daycare.☺️ Our groups are small and carefully selected, so your pup must be friendly with other dogs. 🙏🏻 I also have a 7-year-old daughter and a few other animals besides my own dog—a cat, rabbit, canary, and fish. ☺️ They’re all used to having boarding dogs around. My life is centered around helping dog owners & shelter dogs, so I work with dogs every single day. Your pup can go with us to our daily adventures on the Dog Bus! I always make sure my dogs & client's dog have clean water and regular meal schedule. Daily long walks are very important as well. I do my best to make their environment clean, safe and escape-proofed.
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”
“Natalie was attentive and easy to communicate with. She made sure she learned about my dog before caring for him and kept me updated the entire time. Definitely recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care and attention I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their people are away. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pets who require gentler care and a watchful eye. I pride myself on noticing the little things such as changes in behavior, eating habits, or comfort so you can trust that your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to help you out! Just let me know when assistance is needed and I can more than likely be there. I have a small fenced in yard, and I live in a house with my brother, who also loves dogs. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable and safe space to relax, with plenty of attention and outdoor breaks (for dogs). I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to so they feel at ease and cared for.
“Wonderful experience for my dog Harper. And Kristen was very thoughtful, responsive and helpful with everything surrounding the visit. Harper looks forward to her next stay. Highly recommended!!”
“This was my big baby’s first time at someone’s house without family. Monee was very reassuring and sent lots of updates/pictures. She showed great concern with Abrita’s comfort. We already booked our next visit.”
“I needed a sitter on very short notice, and Zyi (sorry if I spelled your name wrong 😓) was incredibly accommodating! She was quick to respond to messages, kept me updated throughout the stay, and made me feel completely at ease. My dog is also on medication, and Zyi was very attentive, making sure to double-check all of the instructions with me. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and comfort. I had a great experience and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Simply the best. Yulia and Kevin have been watching my Doxie 2-3 days a week for nearly 8 months. It's not hyperbole to say that I think Archie enjoys his time with Lola, and whichever other dogs are present each stay, more than he enjoys being in our own home. I get constant pictures and videos, and the knowledge that my dog is being cared for by consummate professionals. Kind, flexible, and caring. I would recommend this pair to absolutely anyone, and I truly don't know what I would do without them. Definition of 5 stars.”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”

Alexis was amazing and helped during a day excursion I had our of town. Her two dogs were great companions for my Toby and by the end he was exhausted and happy which is always a good sign that someone had a great day. She was also great at communicating and proactively sent pics which I also appreciated. Five star stay.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fern Rock commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,466 sitters in Fern Rock, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
