“Jean was great! This was our first time leaving our dog with her. He can get a bit anxious and can have a hard time in new places, she helped calm him. She also assured us as well and didn’t make us feel like we needed to return from our trip early. I would definitely recommend Jean!”
“Janette was wonderful with my 7 months old puppy. He is extremely energetic, inquisitive, and playful . She shared pictures of him every day. He participated in the birthday of one of the furries of the household and had some of the home made treats! She answered my requests right away . I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely come back again. Thank you for your love and care to our lovely puppy!”
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.
“We had a sick family member and needed someone to watch Hugs in a pinch. Tiffany was great with Hugs and super responsive. We appreciate her taking her on such late notice. Hugs had a great time and it is good knowing someone will treat your pet like family while you are away. Thanks Tiffany!!”
“Julie and Caleb and their family are the best, they help me and my pup out so much even on a last minute call. They welcomed my pup like it was one of their own which we really liked. Will definitely be returning soon, thank you guys”
“Carole was great! She responded quickly and sent lots of pictures. My pup definitely enjoyed himself! He came home well cared for and tired from all the play. He got along well with her dog Zoey. Even though Carole is 45 plus minutes away from me, I will definitely make that drive again so she can watch my dog.”
“Alexa was amazing with our pup. She was super responsive and sent tons of pictures every day while we were gone. I highly recommend Alexa to anybody that needs a dog sitter that will treat your pups just as lovingly as you do.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I have to admit that I was skeptical at first with leaving our fur babies with anyone, but I knew I didn’t want to board them in a kennel. We were more than happy with Jim, and the way he and his family took care of are babies! We got pictures and updates everyday of how well they were doing. This was our first time ever using a dog sitter, and we would definitely recommend Jim to anyone! We will definitely be repeat customers for sure!!”
“Dawn was amazing with our babies! She sent multiple pictures and updates everyday and they seemed to feel super comfortable and loved while we were away! Highly recommend 💕 Thank you so much Dawn!”
“We have NEVER had a better experience for doggy care. Manu & Dhruv are the BEST. Coco was relaxed & happy when we got home. No signs of any stress! Thank you so much!”
“Thank you, Joel for making Max feel so welcome! We could tell by the pics you shared that Max settled in nicely and had a great time with your sweet pup, Cash! We were so happy with the experience that we’ve already set up Max’s next stay! This was Max’s first time away from us and you truly made us feel comfortable! See you soon!”
“Jenna has always provided excellent care for my dogs. She's great with communication, provides pictures and updates, and has been understanding and accommodating to emergency schedule changes. Most importantly, my dogs get really excited to go to her house, so I know that they're being well taken care of.”
“Ruby spent the weekend with Anna and her family. This was our first experience using Rover. Anna and Mike were wonderful and took care of Ruby like she was a member of their family. She went to a dog park and out for dinner. We were so happy with our experience and will definitely be using them again for our little Ruby. They are super!”
“Chonlada was amazing with our little girl! She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative the entire weekend our bulldog was with her. Penny came home and slept for 24 hours straight after having such a fun time!”

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!

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.
