“Another successful boarding experience for our two fur babies. I can't say enough how much confidence I have in Megan and Vince looking after Harper and Elsie!”
“Cynthia treated Lilo like a princess while I was away! Walks on her beautiful property, time near the water, and made sure she felt at home. She was communicative, punctual, and made sure to send me lots of updates.”
“Pat and Bee are A+ sitters. They provide daily updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay. Each time our dog has stayed with them she has come home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Marwa and Casey are amazing! Marwa is detail oriented and ensured Beanie felt at home as much as possible. They supplied us with updates throughout the day and were very responsive all times of the day. They took care of Beanie very well, 1000% will be booking again!”
“Chelsea is fantastic! She welcomed Churchill into her family and allowed me to relax on vacation without worrying. Daily pics kept me informed of his comfort with Chelsea and family we will definitely use her on a regular basis!”
“Tarina was so amazing with our baby bear and we loved all the pictures and video updates of how he made himself at home enjoying the rest of the family 🥰we will definitely use her services again in the future next time we need an overnight sitter🤗”
“We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our Frenchie, Louie! From the moment we met, we knew he was in great hands, and that feeling only grew while we were away. French Bulldogs can be a little high-maintenance, but Louie was treated like family. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell he was happy, comfortable, and incredibly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was getting lots of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles instead of just being "watched." When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly seemed like he had his own little vacation! It's clear that caring for animals isn't just a job—it's something they genuinely love. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and who will love your dog as if they were their own, look no further. We would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet Louie—we're so grateful!”
About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.
“Paris took great care my Deacon and sent me updates of pictures that I adore She was very professional. I will definitely be using Mrs. Paris service again because I was very satisfied”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog. She gave lots of updates and was a pleasure to work with. My dog loves her and seemed so happy while she boarded with her.”
“Courtney was really amazing. She was extremely flexible with her time and communicated often, especially as I was anxious about leaving my cat for the first time. I also booked with short notice and she was extremely accommodating. Lots of updates and pictures which is just what I needed to ease my anxiety.”
“Ariel is an extremely dedicated and kind dog sitter. When our pup was homesick and struggling, she did everything in her power to provide love and security for our dog. She took the dog on long walks to get out the energy and even went out of her way to purchase bones from Petco for our dog to chew on. We are so appreciative.”
“Karen kept McDuff overnight. He had so much fun with Karen that when it was time to leave he was not sure he wanted to leave and he was sacked out on the couch for hours. Thank you Karen for taking good care of McDuff!”
“Alexandra is AMAZING! She has a very clean home and fenced in outdoor space for dogs to run and play! She accommodated our changing plans by taking Remmy a day early. She was so easy & kind to work with and I will book her every time we use Rover! She communicated daily and sent several pictures during Remmy’s stay! I had 100% peace of mind while I was away that my dog was extremely well cared for and loved!”
About: Hello, I’ve been boarding dogs for awhile now and I use to have a dog myself for over a year. I don’t work with very large dogs and I think I’ve boarded enough dogs to get enough experience. I’m home full time and can walk/feed/take your dog to potty at any time. I’m open to long boardings and short time sittings, and all walks and drop ins. Plenty of time to play with your pet. I make sure there’s nothing on the floor or in the dog’s reach that can harm them and if there’s a crate, will usually put them there if I’m not going to be around.
“Steven is a fabulous dog sitter for our two dogs. They love going to his house. Steven has also been great to work with during our recent travel upsets due to the world health situation. We highly recommend him!!”
“Betsy took care of our dog Pickle this weekend. Betsy and her husband, Ron, could not have been lovelier. We felt very comfortable leaving Pickle in their care. We won’t hesitate to leave Pickle with them again when we need to go away.”
“Lisa was an excellent sitter for our 8 month old golden doodle! She sent us videos and was in communication with us during our four day trip. Will definitely use her for future trips.”
““FOUR PAWS!!! Love Miss Lisa!!! Just don’t tell my Mom that she spoils me with walks and a couple treats every time I go there - along with all the butt scritches and belly rubs I can con out of her. Let’s make this four paws and a head tilt for a review- paws are better than stars 🌟!!!” —- Review by Annie Oakley as translated by her Mom”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gatchellville
Freya stayed with Beauty while we were out of town for 5 days. Freya has never been away from us for that long. Freya stayed with Beauty and the pack a few times before and we were extremely confident all would go well. We received many pictures and notes telling us how Freya was doing and what she was up to at Beauty’s home - walks, playing ball, watching football on the couch - Freya had an amazing time! Beauty is the best caregiver we could ask for. She anticipated all of Freya’s needs and went above and beyond what we’d hoped for in a pet sitter! She truly cares for Freya like one of her own. Freya will be returning to Beauty’s soon! Thank you Beauty for all you do!!

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.
95% of sitters in Gatchellville 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 Gatchellville 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 Gatchellville.
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 Gatchellville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Gatchellville 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.
