“Megan And Vince are awesome and how they care for my dog Gracie. They are very attentive to her, they send me pictures of her playing and just how she is settling in with the pack. The yard is a perfect atmosphere for her to just be free and enjoy her other dog friends. I highly recommend Megan And Vince for watching anyone’s pets.”
“Ashley & Jerrell were exceptionally kind & thoughtful, going the extra mile to help us board our dog on short notice during an emergency. Great communication throughout shifting circumstances and they were also very patient with my elderly mother. The only downside was that our dog was crated from 6:30am to 3:30pm while they were at work, but not unexpected.”
“This was our first time using Rover service ever. So still very new to the experience. It seems like everything went well and we are glad Jenny took good care of our dog 🐶”
“Cindy and her husband are very welcoming and warm, their property is perfect for dogs! Cindy stayed in touch the entire time we were away, keeping us up to date on how the days went, which was so sweet and reinsured us that our puppy is well taken care of and happy.”
“Oliver was so loved by Svitlana and her family. I had regular updates and photos, and my dog seemed so comfortable and happy while there. Svitlana was very communicative, and I highly recommend her. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
“As a first time rover user, also Oreo’s first time sleeping over with a sitter, we are glad we found Rodney and Marissa very close to home. As a senior dog, and also diabetic, I was worried having someone else take care of Oreo. But Rodney was great keeping me informed how Oreo was doing. They were great with oreo’s medication, including Oreo’s insulin shot twice a day. Again, thanks for having Oreo, Rodney and Marissa! ?”
“We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our Golden Doodle! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Lauren was incredibly attentive, providing regular updates and pictures that put our minds at ease. Our pup came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Chris provided a wonderful home environment for my anxious pup and checked in frequently with updates and pics. Chris is gentle, calm and laid back, which worked well with my dog. When there were difficulties, such as getting my dog to sleep in his crate the first night, Chris was flexible and adaptable, which I greatly appreciated. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Chris’ capable hands and would call on him again to pet sit.”
“Thanks for being amazing with your schedules and Bosco! He hasn't moved since we got home last night, he had so much fun with Mr. Hank and Daisy (and that enormous antler bone lol)!!”
“Amy and Patrick were so sweet and awesome to my 8-week old puppy, Lila, while I was away. They took excellent care of her. Amy and Patrick are friendly, responsible, and pet-loving good people. I highly recommend them for pet sitting, walking your dog, etc. I will certainly use their services again!”
“This was the first time I had a sitter watch my dog for an overnight stay. I was nervous but after communicating with Melanie and during the meet and greet I was put at ease. While Shiloh was staying with Melanie and her family I was completely comfortable. Melanie provided daily updates via txt, pictures, and videos and was extremely responsive to my questions/comments. I will definitely use Melanie again and highly recommend her.”
“We left our two dogs (one puppy!) with Chelsea for a week and a half. She was amazing and made them feel at home away from home! They were obviously happy and well cared for. We loved getting pictures. This was our first time with a pet sitter rather than going to a kennel. We will definitely book with Chelsea again.”
“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”
“Katie and her family are the absolute BEST!! They are such a loving and caring family and do everything to make your pets feel at home! Katie has great communication and sent pics and videos throughout the week, updating us on our pup. Hands down the best experience we've had!! 100% recommend Katie and her family!!”
“Kara is my go to Rover in York, PA. She’s always so flexible with her schedule and get the best pictures of my Louis boy- I can genuinely tell he’s having the best time with their dog Kodiak. Cannot recommend her enough!”

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 Hametown 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 Hametown.
<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 Hametown 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.
