“Harper had a great time! Lexi sent frequent updates and took great care of Harper while we were out of town. They have a great yard and home for dogs. You can tell they give lots of love to the animals.”
“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!”
“My standard poodle has stayed with Rebecca twice now. She sends tons of photos and videos and is super communicative which I really appreciate. Finn was really excited to see her again and that says it all to me. Definitely a sitter I trust and hope to use again!”
“Amy did an amazing job watching after my 14 year old Shiba Inu, Kuma, while I was out of town. Amy’s experience with older dogs along with the daily updates she provided really helped me feel at ease while Kuma was in her care. When it came time to pick Kuma up she didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend Amy and I know Kuma can’t wait for the next time as well.”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”
“Chazz is easily the best dog sitter I’ve found in the city! I have two dogs who can be a handful, one is very big and strong, and the other is highly leash reactive. Within seconds of meeting Chazz, they both loved him. He has such a natural way with dogs and immediately made them feel comfortable and at ease. I used to board my dogs at a facility, but I never really knew what kind of care and attention they were getting. Finding Chazz through Rover has been a game changer. He sent multiple photos each day, along with thoughtful updates that made it clear my dogs were happy and well cared for. They stayed with him for four days, and I genuinely didn’t worry once. Having that kind of peace of mind means so much. Chazz is kind, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. I’m so glad we found him and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Mary and her husband! They took amazing care of our Bentley. Mary was extremely attentive, took the best pictures & videos and provided us with regular updates. It was easy to see how well they cared for him. We are so thankful to them for loving on our little guy and would highly recommend over and over again!”
“Christin was amazing! I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before. She kept us informed of all the progress and we know Kiwi ended up relaxing and having a great time. Totally recommended and would totally rebook. Thank you!”
“Sarah was great, flexible with my pickup/drop off time and very communicative. Her fenced in yard seemed perfect for my pup to run around in. I hope to board my pup with her again.”
“Zuzu had a great stay. She was comfortable and had fun going for walks. Getting the pictures and updates was reassuring and let us know she was doing well. Zuzu loves to stay with Andrew and Uklu and will be back again soon!”
“Chrissy is awesome! She took care of my nine year-old Poodle mix for a week. He suffered an injury to his back a few days before, which meant giving him extra medicine and keeping him from climbing steps. She handled the situation like a pro. It was the most low-stress boarding/sitting situation we’ve experienced because of her great communication and the obvious care she showed when dealing with Sailor—especially in his tender physical state. And she sent multiple updates everyday, with photos and videos. We look forward to working with her again!”
“I’ve lost track how many times we’ve booked with Eliza over the years but she is truly amazing. Great at updates, drops and picks Maddie up at our house and is so on top of everything and really detail oriented (she put a calendar alert in her phone as a reminder for Maddie’s once monthly heartworm medicine).”
About: I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like they are my own. I’m caring, dependable, patient, and enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities and will always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I am a teacher and I live a one minute walk from my school. I come home every day for lunch to let out dogs I am watching! After school I am home all night with the dog I am watching! I provide dog boarding in my home and treat every dog like part of the family. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding and sleeping routines so they feel comfortable and at home. I also love sending photos and updates to their owners so they know their pup is happy, safe, and being well cared for!
“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“Eric did a wonderful job watching our senior dog! We received updates on our dog's stay and we look forward to booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!”
“When our regular sitter had an emergency before the holidays we were very glad to find somebody responsible to take care of our dog for the week. Good communication and easy to deal with. We're glad that everything worked out and we feel that our dog was in very good hands.”
“Therese was amazing. She took our fur baby in last minute and she was very nice and accommodating. I will definitely recommend her and will again book in the future”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Havertown is $55

Dion was an incredible sitter for Lilly. She was easy to communicate with and meet for a meet and greet before booking. She sent picture updates of Lilly and she came home very happy. Dion even cleaned Lilly’s harness and fixed a dent in her food bowl! We will definitely be rebooking Dion anytime we need someone to watch Lilly. Thank you!
Christine was a great caretaker for our deaf 11 year old hound mix over a long weekend. Christine helped Georgia settle in to unfamiliar surroundings. She is warm and comforting and clearly has lots of experience with and loves dogs. We will use her again without hesitation.
We are so glad we found Shayla!! She provided such a calm, welcoming, home -like environment for our two dogs, which was exactly what we hoped for. She took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions about their routines, food, and individual care needs, and our dogs felt right at home with her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were comfortable and well cared for. We would happily board them with Shayla again and highly recommend her!
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Stephany and Brandon! Communication was prompt and consistent, and we really appreciated receiving regular updates and pictures of our pet. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was being well cared for while we were away. Their two daughters also helped out, which was so sweet and made it feel like our dog was getting lots of extra love and attention. We couldn’t be happier with the care they provided and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter on Rover!
Shelby and Robbie were a great place to leave our two dogs for an extended time. One has some serious anxiety towards other dogs and they handled the situation and came up with a plan for her. They let us know how they were doing and we are thankful for them! Would use them again!
We have greatly benefited from having Jennifer S. provide Boarding services for our two Australian Labradoodles. She delivered outstanding care for our furry children, including regular walks and playing fetch with a ball, as she is extremely thorough and meticulous in meeting all of their needs. All of the members of her family create a warm and loving environment in which our pets are always relaxed and thriving. We loved receiving daily photos of our pooches looking happy, resting peacefully, and enjoying time outdoors. Accordingly, we highly and unreservedly recommend Jennifer S. for all your Boarding and Doggy Day Care needs.
Scott was wonderful and my dog had the best time with him and his posse of dogs! The other dogs he was watching at the time were very friendly and Scott did a great job introducing them and making sure they were comfortable together. He sent lots of pics during the stay and I know my dog had unbelievable attention, exercise and love! We can’t wait to go away again so we can send Hoagie to his new favorite place!
Provided a fun enjoyable environment for our boy and they were very communicative. They sent us daily updates and pictures, some of which were quite entertaining, arguably some of the better ones we’ve received from Rover sitters! Our dog is incredibly affectionate, and they rose to the occasion with plenty of cuddles!
I had no doubt upon our first meeting that Dakota would have a very comfortable loving stay with Chrissy. She sent a ton of pictures and videos along the way, which was super nice to get while traveling so far away! I can’t wait for Chrissy and Dakota to hang out again! No

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
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 Havertown 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 Havertown 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 Havertown.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Havertown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Havertown 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.
