“We have left Cooper with Andres several times now, and he has been very pleasant and accommodating from the first interaction. He sends picture updates throughout the stay, and is always sure to provide a "debrief" of the stay when we pick him up. Its very comforting knowing that if there is even the smallest thing, slightly out of the ordinary, Andres will pick up on it, and keep us informed. Cooper always seems to have a great time; whether it be running around with Lumpkin or any other dogs being boarded at the same time. We have been nothing short of pleased, and will continue taking Cooper to Andres. If you're looking for peace-of-mind boarding, look no further. Andres is top notch.”
“Simone was absolutely amazing and so kind. My dog was immediately drawn to her and was so happy in all the update photos she sent. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will book again in the future.”
“Olivia was well taken care of. We received plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. Communication was excellent and drop off and pick up were very easy. Cassandra will be our go to sitter from now on.”
“Michelle was great! She was always quick to respond and super flexible with me. She sent daily photos to update us on our pup. Harper came back so exhausted from all the love, pets, and play.”
“Luna had a great time on her overnight stay. She got playtime inside and out and plenty of attention. Emily and Christine really love dogs, and treated her so well!”
“Rita took great care of Toby. She checked in with us and sent pictures and videos. Normally, Toby is restless and paces and seems anxious when he comes home from staying. He was very chill and seemed just like normal when he came home from Rita's. We were very happy about that. We'll be taking Toby back to Rita's.”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.
“Lori watched our dog, Bebe, while we were away on vacation and she did a wonderful job. Bebe can take a bit to warm up to someone new, and Lori did a great job quickly earning her trust! She lives in a quiet area with a fenced-in yard, which was perfect for allowing Bebe to relax. She also sent daily updates with great photos!”
About: I have owned dogs for the past 20 years, including a mastiff and pit/Shepard mix. I also grew up with cats. I have also helped out a rescue I am home at lunch during the week to let your pet out and home by 5:15 pm . Weekends I do not work and can be home all day I have a separate gated off part of the house the animal can be housed in instead of sitting in a crate if I am not home
“Marci take care our Yorkie dog, Louie!!!!!!! Marci is a lovely wonderful person she take care very well Louie took him to the park , several walks, treats etc. Louie spend a week with her and love her !”
“Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!”
“Amy and Cathy took our two dogs in for two weeks while we were in Japan. It's clear that they're both avid dog lovers, so I had no worries while away because I knew the pups were in great hands! They texted a few updates and pictures as well. We could tell our dogs were having a good time with good people. I would absolutely recommend Amy and Cathy!”
About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the school system, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. In addition, I keep 2 small dogs at a time but for the bigger ones I only will sit 1 dog for safety reasons 😊. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.
“My furbaby loves going to Jade’s. Jade keeps me updated throughout the stay and returns Keisha to me happy, healthy and relaxed. Jade always accepts my last minute requests with a willingness to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. Jade is my go-to sitter every time.”
“Beth was fantastic. From the moment we met her we could tell our lab puppy was in good hands. She was in contact the entire time with updates on our pup, and she worked with us when our plans took a turn. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Casey was absolutely amazing with Mila while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon! 🤍 I have genuinely never felt so stress-free leaving her with someone. Casey took such perfect care of her and sent the cutest picture updates that made being away so much easier. I could tell Mila was so loved and well taken care of the entire time. I will absolutely be using Casey every time we need a sitter from now on. Couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾🤍✨”
About: Dogs are truly part of our family, and when your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated just like one of my own! I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. They’ll have free access to our large, fully fenced yard and can relax, nap, or hang out wherever they’re most comfortable in the house. I have two dogs —a 1 year old Golden Retriever and a 3 year old mixed breed—so your dog will have the option to have some furry company too. We’ve had dogs of many different breeds and personalities throughout our lives, and I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and reading body language to help keep everyone safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and will make sure they get the same love, attention, and care they’re used to at home. And of course, I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have 2 dogs. I work from home, so the dogs have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule so they feel right at home. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They’ll receive plenty of attention and supervision, with access to our large, fully fenced-in yard for playtime and potty breaks. Inside, they’ll have comfortable spaces to relax and nap. I will follow your dog’s usual feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible and happily send photos and updates throughout their stay.

I had a wonderful experience with Michelle F. as Sasha’s sitter. She was extremely communicative, sending regular updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. She kept her home clean and tidy, respected my schedule, and was very flexible and accommodating. Most importantly, she took great care of Sasha and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for throughout her two-day stay. I would absolutely trust Michelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter!
We couldn’t have asked for better care for our puppy! She stayed for eight nights, and Aaron, John, and Melanie truly went above and beyond. We received regular picture and video updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She looked so relaxed & happy the whole week! They even worked on training with her, got her new toys, and made us a photo album from her stay—the sweetest surprise that our kids were absolutely obsessed with. It was clear how much love and attention they gave her. We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely book them again. I highly recommend Aaron’s Boarding to anyone looking for in home boarding! Your fur baby is in the best hands!
I cannot say enough good things about Steffani and Josh. This was the 3rd time they watched my Cora girl. When I was dropping her off, she was so excited to see Steffani, she hopped like a bunny to the door! They treat her like she’s one of their own. Thanks so much guys!
Marissa was so sweet and helpful with my pups while I was away for business. I am always nervous when traveling and leaving my girls with anyone, but Marissa put my mind at ease. She sent photos to check in and let me know how they were doing, and my one one more nervous dog, Penelope, did NOT go on a hunger strike while I was away as she sometimes does--which speaks volumes about how comfortable she was while staying with her! I look forward to using her again when I travel. Thank you, Marissa!!
As an owner who truly treats my “baby” like a real baby, I was incredibly impressed with the care and attention Sherry gave my precious one. The daily pictures and videos she sent gave me tremendous peace of mind and reassurance that my baby was happy, safe, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who is genuinely caring, attentive, and will treat your precious baby as if they were her own, look no further. Sherry is the one!
I was so relieved to find Nicolette, who provided excellent care for my dog Ridley when I was abroad for ten days. She is super sweet and responsive and I felt comfortable with him in her care. Ridley seemed to get a lot of outdoor time as well as cuddles, so I think he had a great time. Would recommend her 100%!
Ariana was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my mini dachshund, Dino! It was Dino’s first time staying with Ariana, and she did a great job making me feel reassured that Dino was happy and comfortable during his stay. Dino is already looking forward to his next stay with Ariana!
We are so happy that we found Meredith to watch our Sweetest Girl, Mollie ( Beagle) She was with Meredith for 4 nights and did great - from the minute we met Meredith we knew Mollie was in good hands! She sent us photos and gave us updates on her. We plan on using Meredith again and again….its nice to know we have a reliable dog sitter we can count on and she’s only 5 minutes from our house.
Beth was great with Maddy as always! So happy we have found someone we trust to watch our sweet girl, we know she is in good hands when she’s with Beth. This last visit was almost 2 weeks and Maddy needed daily medications for her arthritis and a UTI - Beth religiously made sure Maddy took all her meds every day.

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 Garnet Valley 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 Garnet Valley home-away-from-home, 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 Garnet Valley.
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.
You and your Garnet Valley 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 , 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 .
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.
