“Jaideep and his lovely wife took incredible care of Tala. They provided me with a steady stream of pictures and updates which made me miss her much less. I look forward to using them again soon.”
“Steffany & her family were the most wonderful hosts for Kona! They took great care of her & treated her like another member of the family while she stayed over. I received updates every day & they were very flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend!!”
“Lorrie is fantastic! She so obviously loves animals and goes out of her way to make them happy and keep them healthy. The next time we need to travel, she will be the first we ask to look after all of our pets.”
“We boarded our dog with Anton in mid October 2025. The communication with Anton was great. He was very quick to respond to text messages. He kept us updated on how she was doing, including pictures. He was very flexible for meeting her needs. Our dog was well cared during her visit. We will utlize Anton again in the future!”
“Gage always enjoys his stays with Pam & Mike! He loves hanging out with the other dogs and he comes home very tired. We can tell he is well cared for while we are away.”
“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Yianna watched our year and a half old lab, Mazzy, who still has tons of puppy energy. She was patient with Mazzy and provided us with updates and pictures. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again, we would happily choose Yianna.”
“Dawn was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and consistently kept me updated on Milo throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo also had a great time playing with her dog and seemed to really enjoy himself. I would definitely book with Dawn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Tiffany was great!! She took Callum with just a few days notice. She had no problem with my special requirements for him. And she helped him feel right at home and took special care to introduce him to her cats. she sent me an update and photos a few times, which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely use Tiffany again!!”

“Michelle took such good care of Fury for our long weekend away! He was quite a handful and she handled him so well and with such a great attitude. She gave him tons of play time, walks, and affection while she was home with him. She stayed in constant communication while we were gone and gave us regular updates, including pictures and video of their time together. Michelle is great and I’m sure our pup will miss her!”

About: I recently just got a puppy of my own so I am very experience with taking care of puppies! I also had several dogs growing up so I am good with dogs of all ages. Most of my availability will be on the weekends, however I will be available some mornings and most evenings as well if needed. My schedule may differ week to week! I am all about making sure the dog's needs are being met, whether that be long walks or playing with them indoors! Anything that your dog needs I will try my best to provide!
“Taylor and her family was amazing with my old man. She sent pictures everyday and messaged updates frequently. I booked with her last minute for a trip and she was so accommodating and excited to spend time with my dog. I will 100% book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve owned doggies for the last 15 years. Twice did I have two dogs under my care for over a years’ time. I cared for a senior dog, during the last year of his life. I made sure the only things he thought about were loves and snuggles. Dogs are a gift. I work from home 8-4 Tuesday through Friday, with an in office day on Mondays. I can do most of my work from a laptop anywhere that has Wi-Fi. I have a small fenced in back yard that is large enough for 2-3 dogs at once. I live in a quiet neighborhood, right next to a park. Plenty of space for walks and potty breaks.
“Heather and her family greeted our dogs with loving, open arms. They have a lovely home with a farm which allowed the dogs to be entertained from their playpen with chickens and ducks. Our dogs are completely happy with no problems while they were visiting Heather and Family. Heather is great at communication and gets back to you right away. We asked for pictures and Heather sent lots of pictures to comfort us knowing our girls were safe and well loved.”

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Fort Hunter 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 Fort Hunter 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 Fort Hunter.
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 Fort Hunter. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Fort Hunter 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.
