“Jean took excellent care of my two pups! They are both young, full of energy and sometimes naughty. Jean took it all in stride. She really cares about their well-being and happiness. She gave them the love and attention that they needed. She also provided me with updates to set me at ease and allow me to enjoy vacation.”
“We never leave our dog with anyone but family. Since all our family needed to be at our wedding we needed someone to watch Carl. Jim’s property is perfect for animals. Jim treated him like family. He was even allowed on the couch! Jim sent us pictures to show how Carl was relaxing. We recommend using Jim.”
“Finley had an amazing week! I felt totally at ease while away and knew he was being well cared for. He had room to run, and with the kids present, he got lots of playtime. I received very prompt feedback. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. We have found our Rover! Finley will be back!!! 🐩”
“Dawn is absolutely amazing. She is completely comfortable around dogs and is extremely communicative, which made the entire experience so reassuring. My dog seemed to have an amazing time and I will 100% be using her services 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. 💕”
“Janette and her family are so sweet and obviously love taking care of dogs. They welcomed my puppy into their home right along side their adorable three dogs and three kids. He had tons of space to run around outside, a puppy pool to splash around in, and a safe place inside for his crate so he could get some sleep overnight. They sent me pictures and an update during his stay, and told me all about how he did when I picked him up. He came home tired, happy, and clean - what more could I ask for?”
“Sheryl was fantastic! My dog is so incredibly timid of new people and places but she did so wonderfully at Sheryl’s house for the week! I received updates throughout the week, which was greatly appreciated! I hope to use Sheryl again the next time we go out of town!”
“Alyssa took great care of our beautiful Lilly. Lilly was a bit anxious the first night, but Alyssa made her comfortable and even slept on the couch next to Lilly's bed. Thanks to Alyssa's patience, Lilly slept soundly in her bed in Alyssa's room on the 3rd night. Lilly loved Alyssa and I'm sure she'll be happy to return to Alyssa's care when needed. Alyssa provided updates several times a day and responded to any of my messages in a very timely fashion. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone as I can tell that she lovingly cared for our big girl the same as we do.”
“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!”
“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“Alexa was incredible! She sent me updates on my dog without me having to ask, including plenty of pictures of him having a blast staying there. I’m leaving Sunny with Alexa whenever I go out of town!”
“Amanda had my active puppy for an entire week - she was so well cared for and had so much fun. Amanda sent pictures so we could see how our little fur baby was doing along the way. Her large fenced in yard was perfect! Highly recommend!”
“My dog had such a good time with Adrienne and her family! It was easy to see how happy and comfortable she felt when we went to pick her up. Adrienne kept us up to date on all the fun they were having with picture check ins and was quick with response times. We look forward to having her sit our girl again.”
“I sent out some requests last minute for my anniversary weekend, Michelle responded very quickly. She was a great choice for my puppy as she also had one and I got so many cute videos of them playing together. Overall a great first experience with boarding and this app, I will definitely book her again.”
“Chonlada and her family provided a wonderful stay for our dog who is sixteen years old and has dietary and other special needs. She was treated like she was at a spa retreat. They even knitted her a new sweater!”
“Melissa watched my puppy on new years and did great! He was on medication for a hurt paw and she made sure he was properly taken care of. He had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend!”
About: My husband and absolutely love dogs. We have a loving spacious home for him to run around in. I am always watching my parents or siblings dog and it’s always a blast to do so! My husband and I both work from home, so we’re able to spend a lot of time with our dog throughout the day. We take him on walks totaling at least 2 miles every day and love getting outside with him whenever we can. We also make sure he gets plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise, and we enjoy taking him along with us on walks, errands, and adventures whenever possible. We have a large dog who has his own bedroom with a full-size bed, which he absolutely loves! We also have two dog beds downstairs so he has plenty of comfortable places to relax throughout the house. Our back porch has a long leash where he can safely spend some time outside and enjoy the fresh air. He is no in the crate, but we do have a large crate in the basement available if needed.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Gilbertsville is $50

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!

92% of sitters in Gilbertsville 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 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.
<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 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.
