“Had a wonderful experience using Megan and Vincent! Would highly recommend their care for overnight pet sitting. They provided great updates, got lots of outdoor time and seemed to really enjoy their stay!”
“Krista was super helpful even with my request being last minute. Kept us updated on the status of our two pups the entire time! Couldn’t have asked for more! Definitely recommend!”
“Alexis is great! She communicates, sends pictures, is very flexible and I could just tell my girl Carmen felt like she was right at home. We will definitely ask her to take care of Carmen again.”
“I was seeking a sitter for my 6 month old Golden Retriever puppy. This was to be Jersey’s first stay away from home and also the first time in my life that I boarded any of my dogs. I was very anxious about the whole process and being able to find the quality of a sitter that I needed to feel comfortable. I read reviews for 10 – 15 sitters on Rover.com and found 3 that looked promising. Of the 3 Lynn’s reviews seemed to align with my needs more that any of the others. Throughout the process, Lynn was extremely supportive and made me feel at ease. We set up a “meet and greet” a few weeks before I was to go out of town. When Jersey and I arrived at her house, she and her 2 German Shorthair Pointers were waiting on the sidewalk to greet us. Lynn had suggested that meeting on neutral ground would reduce or eliminate any territorial issues between the dogs. She greeted Jersey enthusiastically and lovingly and had total control of her dogs, Daisy and Hank, which allowed Jersey and them to introduce themselves in a non-threatening manner. From there Lynn and her dogs gave Jersey and I a tour of the neighborhood and her home. She first took us to the church at the end of her street, where she has permission to let her dogs run free to get their daily play and exercise. She let her dogs loose and walked with Jersey and I around the property while Daisy and Hank played. We agreed that Jersey was not yet well enough trained to be off leash, so Lynn said she had a 30’ long lead that she would use when taking Jersey for her daily play with Daisy and Hank. Watching how well Lynn handled her own dogs convinced me I had found the right sitter. She showed Jersey and I her house, where the dogs sleep and all around the outside. Lynn has a pool that looks to be more for her dogs than for the humans of the household. For almost all of the time we were visiting, Hank swam around and around in the pool. After I confirmed the booking on Rover.com, Lynn and I set up one more date for Jersey and I to visit to ensure she was as comfortable with going there as possible. Each time we took Jersey, Hank and Daisy for walks down to the church and some playtime in the backyard. I also learned that Lynn and her husband served as the Vice President and President of the San Diego German Shorthair Pointer rescue which told me a lot about their love of animals and only increased my confidence that I had made the right choice. Lynn and I talked and emailed many times to ensure she knew everything about Jersey that she needed to know. One of the key things I needed from a sitter is for him/her to ensure that Jersey got her obedience commands practice every day while I was away. Jersey and I are participating in a training program and is important that she practice daily. Lynn had no problem doing that for us and with her experience and knowledge in dog handling, I was confident Jersey would get all that she needed. When the day came, my husband took Jersey for her 3 day stay with Lynn and her family. Being the professional that Lynn is, she kept Jersey very busy while my husband left, so Jersey wouldn’t be upset. Lynn took many pictures and some videos while I was away so that I could see how Jersey was doing. In addition to the daily routing, Lynn took the time to introduce Jersey to water and taught her to swim in the pool. From the video, it really looks like Jersey loved it. She also worked on some tricks with Jersey that I hadn’t been working on. When we arrived back to pick Jersey up, Jersey was all ready and glad to see us, but also appeared to be comfortable in her new home. She greeted us excitedly, but was not clingy. While Lynn and I talked, Jersey just went off to play on her own, coming back to the kitchen where we were standing to check periodically. When we got Jersey home, she just found her spot and went to sleep. She slept for most of the rest of the evening, which said to me she had been one very active puppy while we were away. I would recommend Lynn to anyone who cares about their dog. You will not be disappointed, nor need you have any fear that Lynn will not treat your dog as well as or better than you do yourself. She is experienced, competent, loving, caring and fun for our furry friends. She makes them her #1 priority while they are staying with her. She also has enrolled in many of the add-ons available through Rover.com, including 24 hour access to vets. MY only disappointment is that Lynn is now moving out of state and won’t be available for Jersey sitting in the future. What is a loss for San Diego dog lovers will now be a gain for those in PA. Best of luck, Lynn ‘Beauty’, in your new home and new life. ”
“Our dog Levi had the best time! Amy and her family were so loving to our boy and kept us very well updated! Absolutely will be sending him back to play and stay again! Grateful for all they did!”
“This was the first time using Rover… Vicky was absolutely a dream. My dog’s loved her family and her little girl Nova! (her dog) slept with my little Frenchie all night she kept me updated on what they ate and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog’s for the first time with someone new…. I will be definitely be leaving my dogs with her and her family again!”
“As always, Trixie came home tired and, most importantly, happy. Jenn and her husband do a fabulous job welcoming pups into their dog proof home. I also really appreciate the pickup/drop-off amenity. Will definitely use again”
“Angelene made my trip out of town a worry free experience when it came to my fur-kid! Whiskey was so well taken care of and was happy and healthy when I returned. She sent me updates and photos each day - he looked so relaxed and joyful in each one! Her family is adorable and I also loved the personal note she sent home with him about his stay. I will definitely continue to use Angelene as Whiskey's home away from home. :)”
“As a first time Rover user, my wife and I were so happy to have found Whitney to take care of our 6 month old puppy while we were out of town for the night. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and was always available to answer any questions we had. We will definitely use Whitney again!!”
“Sadie did really well staying with Jacob and Megan – with getting older, she has some anxiety when she’s not at home and can be a little 'stubborn'. They were very accommodating and I appreciated the extra effort. I would definitely use them again to watch Sadie!”
“Cynthia and her Husband Lance were welcoming and willing to help us out last minute. They took really good care of of dog and made him feel like home. Would 100% recommend them! Thank you again!”
“Jill and Chad and their boys were great with Piper. I could tell from the minute we had our meet and greet they were a great family and she seemed to fit right in. I got updates and pictures. She had a great time and I know they gave her lots of attention. I felt perfectly comfortable with her staying with them. I would absolutely use them again!!! Great people!!!🐶”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Thomas and his sons took great care of Tucker while I was away. He responded quickly every time I reached out and Tucker seemed right at home when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”
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.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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.
