“Jean and her husband took amazing care of our dog Bronco while we were on vacation for a week. Bronco was well taken care of and Jean sent many updates and pictures throughout the week that gave us peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Jean to any family or friends needing a pet sitter. We already have a second booking!”
“Julie and Caleb were absolutely amazing with our two boxers, Laila and Apollo! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they kept us updated daily and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Laila and Apollo had the best time playing with their kids and running around their large property. It was clear they were treated like part of the family. Every photo showed two very happy pups! They came home tired from all the fun and full of love. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would trust Julie and Caleb again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and experience I bring. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize frequent walks, outdoor time, and supervised potty breaks to ensure dogs stay active and engaged. We also have a friendly, goofy, and welcoming Golden Retriever who loves having dog friends and helps new pups feel comfortable quickly. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m available to board your dog or provide care for a few hours, depending on your needs. I’m fully available on weekends, and I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention and companionship on those days as well. I usually take our dog out every four hours. But depending on your dog needs, i can adjust.Depending on your pups needs, i can keep them separate from our dog or keep them together. I am flexible.
“Tiffany took wonderful care of Koda while I was away. She stayed in contact with photo updates, and I could tell Koda was well adjusted and happy to be there!”
“Natalie and her family accommodated us for a last minute boarding for our Cavapoo. We appreciated the pictures and excellent communication. We will definitely book with Natalie again.”
“Sarah is amazing and caring. With this being the first time leaving Savannah overnight, Sarah eased us through the process and answered all of our questions and concerns. She communicated with us while Savannah was in her care. We are so glad we found Sarah and we definitely recommend reaching out to Sarah for all of your pet care needs. 💕”
“We left our dog for 6 weeks with Jim’s beautiful family who took such good care of him and loved him. When we came to pick him he was even better well behaved than when we left him. Jim is now the one and only boarding solution for us.”
“Alexa was fantastic and a great “first-time sleepover” host for my 5-month old pup. It was obvious that Roxie had a ton of fun playing with the other dogs at Alexa’s, as she was napping most of the following day. We’ll definitely be seeing her again and I’d recommend you check her out as well!”
“We were moving and had trouble finding an available Rover.com place for our two Labs the night before our big move. Being previous client’s, Joel made an exception for us for our furry babies to stay the night. Then, our move day lasted longer than expected and he was flexible again to allow us to book a second night. We were SO grateful! 5 Stars to Joel completely for helping us out in a pinch!!”
“Dawn is incredible, she sent us a ton of photos and detailed updates throughout our girl Bailey’s stay. Bailey looked so happy in all the pictures and Dawn took great care of her. We’re so grateful to have found Dawn!”
“Manu & her family took the best care of my senior dog and I felt relaxed to be able to enjoy my family trip. Lots of great pictures and updates provided, which was reassuring and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to have your pup spoiled and well taken care of.”
“Melissa is a very special pet sitter!! Our dog had a hard first couple days trying to settle in as it was only his second time in someone else’s home over night. She went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. I received lots of pictures of Winston doing his favorite things! I know that he was well taken care of with Melissa!”
“We’ve used Chonlada and family for two separate weeks this summer to watch our Frenchie. Our dog Gus is so well taken care of and has such a fun time with her dog. Chonlada is very responsive/communicative and caring. Absolutely recommend and we will be booking with her and her family again in the future!”
“Kristin is great! Her house was well kept, with a nice backyard for playtime. Her pets made great companions and she took great care of my pup. She'll be my first choice next time I need someone to watch him.”

We had a very good experience with Sai. She took regular photos and communicated how things were going while we were out of town. She took really good care of our dog and we felt comfortable with how she handled every situation that arose. I would recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting. She was great!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gilbertsville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,448 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gilbertsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Gilbertsville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Gilbertsville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gilbertsville 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 Gilbertsville.
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 Gilbertsville 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.
