“Jean is the best. I completely trust Winston with her. She treats him like family and keeps me updated. Winston can be clingy but I have no reservations leaving him with her knowing she treats him so well. I won't leave him with anyone else. Thank you Jean.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for watching Thor!! We are so happy we found you. He seemed even sad to leave you all which makes me happy he got so comfortable with you!! I can’t wait to book you again.”
“Jim was very understanding about my pets habits and needs. He sent daily updates and pictures of Onyx and Yoshi they looked very happy and content. I will use Jim for all my pets away from home needs. Thanks Jim”
“We are lucky our pup wanted to come home with us after staying with Sam & her family! It’s so comforting to have such true dog lovers look after your crazy family member in your absence. Thanks again, Sam.. our girl snored so loud last night!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little unsure on the overall process and experience. My dog can be a little apprehensive and anxious at times, especially when meeting new people. Dawn alleviated any concerns I had from the moment she reached out. Ahead of my boarding time, Dawn was flexible and made herself available to do a meet and greet and showed me her home and let my dog explore to become familiar with the environment. During my time away, Dawn provided photos and updates each day. I highly recommend Dawn and know that you will be in good hands!”
“Our little Pfeffer was well cared for and loved while she was with Sheryl. I received updates and pictures during her stay. Sheryl was understanding and flexible when we left a little later than planned. Pfeffer had plenty of snuggle time while we were away. I would definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much Mayra for taking amazing care of my baby boy on this long stay. Mayra is amazing and i can tell by the pictures and videos i was receiving daily that Milo was in loving care. Thank you so much to Mayra and her family!”
“William and Kristen took EXCELLENT care of our dog Max. Their fenced in yard is huge, they walked Max daily, gave him his pills at night. The family dog Rooney is awesome-Max enjoyed his time with him. Also they sent several photos throughout his stay...Thank you so much!”
“Julie, Caleb and their children made Snickers stay wonderful. They kept me updated with pictures and how Snickers day was going. My husband and I were able to have a great vacation knowing Snickers was getting lots of love and attention! We will definitely use them again!!!”
“Janette and her family were so wonderful watching our new puppy Simon! She proactively sent updates and Simon was treated like a member of the family. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”
“Chonlada and her family are the absolute best dog caretakers!! Our dog, Duddles, had such a great time with them. Not only did they send regular photo and video updates, but they had fun play-time with her, gave her lots of snuggles, and regular treat breaks. Plus, their backyard is huge, fenced-in, and gorgeous, so lots of room for outdoor playtime! We could not recommend them more!”
“We have boarded with Wendy several times now and every time has went smoothly (1 and 2 week stays). My dog always comes back happy, calm, and not stressed in any way. It's been such a relief knowing that I can count on someone to care for my dog - makes my vacation time stress and worry-free. Thank you Wendy!!”
“Blu came home either worn out from playing with the other dogs or depressed he had to leave the other dogs, but either way, Blu was in good hands and enjoyed himself so much that he didn't miss us! Tristan and his wife were very friendly and had a great home for Blu to feel comfortable while away from his own home.”
“Bella is usually stressed whenever she stays away from home but she was fine when home She is easy to care for because she spends most of her time resting in the warmest place she can find but I appreciate the extra care to get her to eat”
“Highly recommend Alexa! She has watched my pup Harley twice now— she is super responsive and sends daily updates/pics. Harley always comes home tired and happy from all the playtime”
“I hadn't left my dog Honey for so long before and am ecstatic about how well Diego and Amelia did with her! She was happy, bouncy, and bright-eyed when I picked her up. The pictures and notes they provided every day were wonderful to get along the way. I'll definitely trust them again when I travel.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbertsville
Milo had a wonderful stay with Jennifer! We like to know what our pup is up to when we’re away and Jennifer sent perfect updates and photos for our family to see! I would definitely recommend Jennifer as your next dogsitter. We had total peace of mind that Milo was taken care of.
We couldn't be happier with the care Jean gave our dog, Clarke, during his stay. Because of his mobility issues and daily medication needs, leaving him with someone else can be stressful, but Jean put our minds completely at ease. She took such great care of him, and it was clear he was in loving, capable hands. Knowing he was safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,469 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.
