“Ulku and Andrew were absolutely fantastic! We got regular updates throughout our pups stay and we knew she was well taken care of while we were out of town. Their dog Leo is a sweetheart and will get along with any dog. We will definitely use them again!”
“Rachel was a fantastic pet sitter for our frenchie Josie. She was so attentive, kind, understanding and thoughtful. Josie was welcomed and felt right at home immediately. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who needs exceptional care for their dog.”
“Yuiko was amazing with my pup when we went away on vacation. She sent updates everyday to make sure I was informed and aware that he was okay. There were a few instances when my pup cried out during the night because we were away and she was patient and worked with him to make sure he felt comfortable. Will definitely be using her again! Thank you, Yuiko!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Ryan B was a great sitter! He took good care of my dog and sent adorable messages and photos throughout my vacation. I would definitely recommend as a sitter as the children were great with my dog also giving him lots of pets and even grooming him one day. Definitely a sitter to choose!”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Allison and Kevin and their girls were so wonderful with our dog, Lily! They were very responsive and sent us a ton of pictures and updates. They were super friendly and took great care of our girl. Can’t recommend them enough! Thank you!!”
“Dana took great care of our dog, Max, during his first overnight stay. She sent photos and kept us updated on how Max was doing. We have already booked Max for a week stay at Dana’s while we are on vacation.”
“We have used Mary multiple times and it’s been great! We get lots of updates and pictures and it’s clear she treats our pet with lots of love and attention. She’s a great pet sitter that I can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Thank you Emelie for taking care of Pepper. Very professional person, accompdated our requests in best possible way. Pepper got a nice backyard to play and he enjoyed a lot! Will definitely recommend!”
“Hollie is an excellent dog sitter. This was the second time that we left our Jazzi with her and her dog Jovi for a week. She sent photos each day and I can tell she loves the dogs she sits as much as her own. Hollie is also very flexible and works with your schedule. She takes such great care of my Jazzi and I trust her with my girl.”
“Nicole was great! She was communicative throughout my pups stay and when I returned home Hoxie was exhausted -- not an easy feat -- so I know that she got plenty of play time with Maeby.”
“My dogs loved staying with Juliana when I was away for over a week!! She was communicative throughout and kept me updated with photos/status updates. She is so nice and provided so much care and attention to them. I would 100% recommend using Juliana for dog care!”
About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and have always been very hands on with their care. I raised my Yorkie and Dachshund from puppies and cared for them throughout their entire lives. I’ve also watched other dogs, including Corgis, Maltese, and Beagles, and I’m most comfortable with small to medium sized dogs. My two dogs recently passed away after long, happy lives, and I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own yet. I have always been an animal lover and genuinely love being around animals. I honestly can’t imagine my life without having an animal around, so caring for other people’s pets feels like a wonderful way for me to still have that companionship while giving their families peace of mind. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs because I cared for my own senior dog through lymphoma, heart disease, kidney disease, and seizures. I’m used to the extra attention, patience, and observation they may need, and I’m comfortable giving medications, injections, or medication with food when needed. Most of all, I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I know how much pets mean to their families, so when I watch someone’s pet, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home, not like they are simply being boarded somewhere. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around the house most of the time. On the days I do go into work, my office is only about a 15 minute drive away and my schedule is flexible, so I can come home when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will do my best to keep the same feeding, potty, walking, and medication schedule they’re used to at home. I want your pet’s stay to feel as normal and comfortable as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I have a fenced backyard, so dogs can have safe outdoor time without being loose or unattended. Having recently cared for a senior dog with several health issues, I’m very used to paying attention to small changes in a dog’s behavior, appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems different. If I notice something unusual, I’ll let you know rather than assuming it’s nothing. My own dogs recently passed away, so when your dog stays with me, they are the only pet in the house. I’m also very careful about keeping things out of reach. My Dachshund was always somehow able to find things he was not supposed to eat, so I became very used to keeping food, small objects, and anything potentially unsafe put away.
“We did boarding with Mel for the first time this weekend after multiple days of daycare in the past! As expected, everything was great! Reviewed multiple photos of Cannoli throughout the day and he seemed very happy his entire time there! Would highly recommend!”
“Once again Willie the tiny dog has had a successful stay with Jenn and her family and animals. Jenn also went above and beyond for me around pickup for which I am very grateful.”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Gulph Mills is $55

Ryan and his family took excellent care of Lina for the 11 days I was out of the country. I appreciated their willingness to arrange a meet-up prior to the booking as well as their communication throughout the stay (including regular photo updates). I felt very much at ease, knowing that Lina was in good hands and enjoying time on walks and outings, receiving lots of attention (including from the kids), and cuddling at home. Ryan clearly familiarized himself with Lina's care instructions in advance, and he had Lina's things packed and ready for pick-up. I would not hesitate to book Ryan as a sitter in the future.
Emma was fantastic with our 5 month old puppy, Tatum. Tatum typically follows me everywhere when we are at home. This was the first time leaving her somewhere so I was a little nervous about how she would do. When I went to pick Tatum up I thought she would be so excited to see me and I picked her up but she was itching to get down and play more with Tofu (Emma’s dog). 😂 I could tell she had a great time. Highly recommend!
Rachel is the absolute BEST. Our dog loves her. She sends incredible updates and she is so kind. Our pup had a bellyache going into a 10 day trip overseas and I was very stressed about leaving him. Rachel assured me he would be fine and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of and provided updates on his status. She is honestly incredible.
We had a wonderful experience with Kathleen and Matthew. They were thorough during our initial meeting to understand Bingo’s routine and needs, and kept us updated with prompt photos throughout his stay. The family was warm and welcoming, and Bingo clearly had a great time with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters.

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 Gulph Mills 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 Gulph Mills 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 Gulph Mills.
<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 Gulph Mills 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.
