“Melissa and Angel treated our baby like their baby. She was one of the family and got to enjoy a night on the soccer pitch! I would absolutely recommend them to watch your furry child!”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“We were in a bind and Leila stepped up to help us out. We were super nervous to leave our dog with a stranger but it wound up being a great decision. She was excellebt with our old guy and she sent us photos and kept in touch. Will be booking again.”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, showing horses and dogs. While in college I started a pet sitting and grooming business and was a key-holding dog care and training volunteer for the Easton SPCA. I fostered many dogs and had two litters born here. I became a clicker trainer when Karen Pryor first introduced it to the dog world and have attended numerous professional dog and animal training seminars and workshops. I later became a certified master groomer and certified canine esthetician as well as a professional scent detection trainer/handler/NACSW judge. I became known as the "dog lady" and a "dog whisperer". I've also studied and practiced animal communication and canine massage. I also worked for a veterinarian and have studied canine nutrition extensively. I've had numerous dogs stay with me over the years and they all leave happy! In this house, dogs are our children, not just pets. On an average day, I groom one or two small dogs at my in-home salon, cook and bake for humans and dogs, read and write. Other than going to church and walking dogs, I'm certainly a homebody! Caring for dogs has always fit my life perfectly. Having grown-up with horses, I'm extremely safety-conscious (horse owners know what I mean!) I have a fenced yard and use a double gate system in the house. I have various ex-pens, crates, puppy playpens, a dog stroller, doggy litter boxes and housebreaking pads if needed. My days revolve around my Havachon, Hazel, and my frequent houseguest, Oliver (mini Dachshund/Rat Terrier). I also have a grooming salon at the house. I've lived in Palmer Township for 30 years and know all the best places to walk dogs!
“My Murphy was in exceptional care with Kimberly. In the photos she sent I could truly tell my baby was happy. She provided attention and love. Already planning using Kimberly in a couple months and probably even day visits beforehand. I am extremely satisfied with her service she provided.”
“I'm so happy to have found Amanda! I loved her. It was the first time we used Rover, and Amanda is an excellent dog care provider. She always sent me photos and videos of Nala, and when I picked her up, I saw the difference. Nala was much calmer than the other times we left her at the kennel. I definitely recommend Amanda.”
“Sarah and her husband accommodated another short notice overnight with my big, goofy puppy. She was very flexible with arranging the care and sent many updates through the day. They make sure dogs in their care get whatever they need- exercise, playtime, attention and love. 😀”
“This was my first time having my dogs stay outside the house, and having four wasn’t easy to find someone. Brittany was very excited to watch the boys has a big fenced in backyard, sent daily updates on them along with daily photos. Will definitely be booking with Brittany again and highly recommend her!”
“Yuli and her family were amazing and welcomed Buddy into their family with open arms. We got tons of updates, pictures and videos and it was clear he was so happy and relaxed with them. I appreciate them so much and will definitely use her again!”
“Kathleen is reliable, highly observant, and genuinely passionate about animals. This was observable through her friendly and warm demeanor, and compassionate verbal and physical interactions with Haru and his responsiveness to her. Her photo update was sincerely appreciated and gave a secure sense of transparency. The environment was clean, organized and provided ample free space for indoor and outdoor movement.”
“We had a meet and greet to be sure Teddy would be a good fit for their family. Things went well so we scheduled his stay. There was good communication prior to drop off and daily updates with pictures during his stay. From pictures we could see they included him as part of the family and he got lots of attention and exercise. When we picked Teddy up he looked happy. Sarah and Doug said he did well and was welcome to stay again. We felt very good about the experience and would book again.”
About: Hi! My name is Aniya, and I've been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with two dogs of my own, which taught me from an early age the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing loving care to our furry family members. Over the years, I've had experience caring for both young, energetic puppies and senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for a dog with epilepsy and allergies, so I understand the importance of following care instructions carefully, administering medications when needed, and being attentive to changes in a dog's behavior or health. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am a licensed esthetician and work on a commission-based schedule, which allows me to have a great deal of flexibility. As long as I am given at least one week's notice for requested dates and times, I can typically accommodate your pet care needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and committed to providing the best possible care for your pets. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a quiet townhouse community with plenty of open green space for walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time. While the area is not fenced, all outdoor activities will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed at all times. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and free of other pets, allowing your dog to receive my full attention without the stress of unfamiliar animals. I live with my mom and a male roommate, and all members of the household are adults but I will be the only person caring for your pup in the household. There are no children in the home, creating a peaceful environment where your pup can relax and feel comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a cozy place to unwind, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and care to help them feel right at home while you're away.
“Maria and her family treated my dog like family. We got tons of pictures that kept our minds at ease!! Their house was very clean and full of love we will definitely use Maria again whenever we travel!!!! Her reviews speak for themselves you won't be anxious leaving your puppy with this family!”
About: I can help you with housesitter at day or overnight and give the 100% attention to your pet. If you will be on vacation and you give me the facilities at your place (nothing fancy) I guaranteed that your pet will be on vacation too!! This will be my other part time job during the week, right now I am busy with a weekend job. However I know taking care of your beloved pet is a full time responsibility, and I will make sure they get fully taken care of when I'm with them or walking them. I spoiled them if I'm allow to. I enjoy to have them on couch and bed and play all time, go out to park, take them outside. Give lot of kisses and hugs. But of course I respect your rules and I will keep the your pets routine too. And about trust, I consider myself as the most honest and trustful person that you could know. I worked on houses (sitter/laundry attendant) and hotels (receptionist/night auditor) and I never grab something that is not mine.
“Brooke, Jeremy and Family were absolutely wonderful! Five stars, 10/10 ! Thank you for the care and attention you gave our Pomeranian babies! The daily photos made us so happy!”
“Natalie is incredible. She took in our dog and treated her as if it were her own. Her whole family is so caring and amazing. We have a hard time trusting people with our fur baby but we are so grateful and thankful to have found Natalie’s family. If you’re looking for an outstanding dog sitter who goes above and beyond- you will not be disappointed. We are so happy to know that our pup was well taken care of. She even cried when they dropped her back off at our house. We will be using Natalie and fam again and again and again without hesitation 🙏”
“Roberta made my pup feel right at home! My dog will often not eat in new environments until she gets settled, but she was eating right away which is a testament to how accommodating and welcoming Roberta was. She also updated me with pictures every day!”
“Michael was the very best caregiver for Stanley. He treated Stanley as if he were his own and we certainly would use Michael on future visits whether it be a day trip or long vacation. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving caregiver for your pet, look no further. We couldn’t be happier with his caring nature.”

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Gruvertown 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 Gruvertown 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 Gruvertown.
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 Gruvertown 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
