“She was great! Luna was having some digestive issues while we were out of state, she went above and beyond to make sure Luna was okay until we got back. Thank you again!”
“We found ourselves in a suboptimal temporary housing situation and needed a place for our cat, Pharaoh, to stay for several weeks until our new lease started. Crystal and her family went above and beyond to help us out, offering us advice and kindness on top of taking excellent care of Pharaoh. We visited several times over the course of his stay and every time we were so pleased to see how happy and comfortable he was despite the sudden change of environment. This was our first time boarding Pharaoh and we were nervous about how he would handle it, but thanks to Crystal and her family's love and care, it went super smoothly. The peace of mind that came with knowing that Pharaoh was in good hands was priceless. We can't recommend Crystal and her services highly enough and will absolutely turn to her for our future boarding needs.”
“Riley was wonderful to work with. So accommodating and she was wonderful sending me pictures of Luna the whole time we were away making us feel very comfortable. Definitely will use her again!!”
“Rosa is amazing!!!!!! This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter for a week and he did so well with her. I’m so pleased that my doggy was so well cared for and will be definitely using Ms. Rosa again ?”
“Emily was very kind and kept me updated on my dog while he was under her care. I wasn’t very happy that the other dog she was sitting chewed up my dogs bed a bit but other than that everything was great.”
“Deanna was an amazing dog boarder. She was extremely responsive to all communications and flexible in accommodating any changes. Spencer and Mia had a blast and settled right into a safe, welcoming, and loving home. Deanna sent copious amounts of picture and video updates. Deanna will absolutely be first on my list of boarders if we return to Lewisburg.”
“Marián was incredible with my puppy! Her dogs are so friendly and did so well with her. Marián provided an ample amount of exercise and enrichment for Luna. Her timing was flexible which i appreciated so much. Many updates and pictures were provided which put me at ease. I am already planning on booking her to watch my puppy again for my next vacation.”
“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“Dani was open to meeting prior to booking to make sure she and Lizzy got along. We got to see where Lizzy would be staying. During her stay, Dani asked for directions and followed them. She communicated just the right amount and sent some lovely pictures. She was accommodating when we needed to slightly modify drop off and pick up times. Lizzy clearly was well cared for and very affectionate toward Dani. We recommend her wholeheartedly and will definitely be using her next time we go away.”
About: I've had many animals throughout my life, 7 dogs, 9 cats, and small mammals. I mostly have experience with Australian Shepherds and German Shepherds. At the moment I have two small dogs and a young cat, who all get along together very well! I love animals and I pay very close attention to them to make sure their needs are met and they're happy. I'm not the type of person to just quickly check-in on a dog and let them outside- I play with them, give them attention, exercise them. I work part time and random hours, so I wake up early to let my dogs out, then feed them at 8 and again at 4. One of my dogs is hyperactive and guards her food so each of her meals is a training session. I usually make her walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes and follow various commands while I hand-feed her meals. My animals are never alone for more than 4 hours at a time, so they get to go out many times. I don't have a fenced in yard so they are always on a leash. All of my animals are friendly towards other dogs, cautious with cats. My apartment is somewhat small, so I would prefer to work in a client's home. In that situation I would stop in as many times as the client prefers. I take my time to play with the animals under my care and give them attention. I do my best to make sure they never feel lonely.
About: I have always had pets since i was a little girl and continue to care for animals. I have one handsome dog. Please reach out if interested! Available anytime and any day during the week. Let me know your needs and we will work out a schedule for your precious puppy or furry animal! I do not have a fenced in yrd. I have one animal at home who is crate trained and goes on a leash to go to the bathroom or outdoor activities

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 Gowen City 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 Gowen City.
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 Gowen City 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.
