“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.”
“Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.”
“Yuiko did a great job with my dog, Cole. She sent just the right amount of pictures and updates. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in good hands. She also administered oral meds without issue. Would definitely have Yuiko watch Cole again!”
“Donte boarded my senior German Shepherd for 5 days including Christmas Day. She was well cared for, receiving her medications twice a day to manage her hip arthritis and pain from IVDD. She came home rested and without any signs of over exertion, which can be difficult to manage while other dogs are boarded. My only concern was that I had become used to Rover hires providing a daily update; I had not explicitly asked for this and Donte sent one unprompted update (on Christmas), but he was very quick to respond when I reached out to check in on her. He also offered an important observation at pick up about the length of my dogs back toenails, indicating careful attention to the dog’s wellbeing.”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“David is clearly such a kind soul who knows and cares a lot about the dogs he works with. My 2 dogs had the pleasure of staying at his home while we went on vacation. He made me feel more than comfortable in his ability to care for my dogs and even asked me a few questions to double check he knew all he needed to know. He was easy to get in touch with, sent me pictures and kept me updated! He was also extremely accommodating with pick up/drop off timing. My dogs came home happy. I would 100% ask David to care for my dogs again. He's great with dogs and quite a pleasure to speak with. 5 Stars!”
“I left my dogs with Rebecca and I couldn't be more happy. She took really good care of them, gave appropriate updates to us and the pups looked super happy when we picked them. I will definitely be boarding with her again.”
“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!”
“Patty is the absolute best! She took such great care of my dog Pippa for an extended stay. She was so kind and communicative. She treated my little girl like she was her own. She and her husband are truly dog whisperers.”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“My dog was cared for so well during her first visit. Tim was so nice and sent pictures. His dog Maui was so gentle and I am sure never bothers the dogs they are caring for.”
“Mitchell and his husband were very welcoming from the start I met them. They went above and beyond to take care of Baldur’s needs. They were flexible and attentive of Baldur’s needs. I’m happy that I chose them to be my sitter. I was concerned while being away his stimulation needs wouldn’t be met, but I was happy to see from the picture update he was smiling and having a great time. The backyard was something my dog loved as he missed this since we moved to the city. Overall I recommend Mitchell’s service to anyone that needs a trustworthy service.”
“We have confidently left our furry baby in the loving care of Elaina multiple times and again, she took wonderful care of our cockapoo, Benjamin Franklin. She sent pics of him being a snuggle bug, lounging, and even enjoying the outdoors. Elaina is fantastic and absolutely, yes, we will book her again soon!”
“Khaing took great care of our little guy Forrest during a long weekend. I really appreciate her kindness and daily updates on our cat. We will definitely be repeat customers. 😊”
“Kristina was awesome! She sent daily updates and pictures which I really appreciated, took Mika on daily walks, and really made me feel like she gave her special attention and care! We look forward to using Kristina in the future!”
“We left Cooper and Mason with Brian for a week. We felt comfortable leaving them from day 1. Brian was very communicative and gave us daily updates. The boys were very happy and well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use him again and highly recommend anyone who wants their dogs to be well taken care of to use Brian.”
“Christine was amazing with our dog,Ellie. She was communicative, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about dogs. Ellie usually takes a long time to warm up but with Christine it was clear she was very comfortable with her almost immediately. We appreciated all the pictures we got if her over the 10 days while we were gone and very grateful for how happy Ellie seemed when we came to pick her up. We will definitely be using Christine again in the future and we would highly recommend her.”
“Tamikia was great. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and even let Roo sleep in the bed (his fav). She was also available last minute which was amazing. I will def use her in the future”
“WOW - I don't even know where to start. I've been boarding / working with pet sitter's for over 14 years and Christin is top tier. Not only is her home so perfect for dogs (a big backyard?! such a treat!), her demeanor and understanding of dog behavior makes her one of the best. When we had our meet-and-greet my pups instantly starting showing signs of being relaxed (playing with toys and eating bones which never happens at new places) and kept going up to Christin for pets and love. Christin provided ample updates and photos and was super understanding of the quirks and difficulties of caring for a senior pup. It's hard to leave my 15.5 year old dog but I trusted Christin immediately. I will be re-booking for sure even just for single days for my dogs to enjoy her yard.”
“Penny is always happy to go to Jennifer’s home and to be in her care! Always feel confident she’ll have a great time with the other dogs there, too. Thank you Jen!”

Shayla was wonderful with our anxious dog, Pypke. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and knowledgeable about dog behavior. She asked thoughtful questions during our meet and greet and took great care to make sure Pypke would be comfortable with the other dog she was watching. When I picked Pypke up, he was happy and relaxed. I feel reassured knowing he’s in such good hands with Shayla.
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!
We are very happy with Tim & Ally and would use again! This was our first boarding experience for our dog which made us a bit nervous, but Tim was very communicative before and during the stay which made us feel much more comfortable! Our dog was well cared for and in good spirits when we picked him up!
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
Thank you for taking such great care of our dog while we were on vacation! Rachel and her husband are wonderful sitters! Without fail, we received pictures and/or videos daily, letting us know that Winston was doing well and having a good time. We look forward to continuing the relationship with Rachel and her husband in the future.
I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

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.
<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 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.
