“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Our dog is very high energy and requires a lot of attention, exercise and patience. Kathleen handled everything beautifully. We came home to a happy, healthy and well-cared-for pup. Communication was excellent throughout our trip with regular updates and photos that showed how much fun our dog was having, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was treated with genuine care and affection not just looked after. We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Zoey was wonderful with our two dogs. She updated me with pics throughout the stay and gave adorable report cards when I picked up. I highly recommend her for watching your four legged kiddos!”
“She is amazing. Very knowledgeable about dogs and my dog adored her. She sent pictures of how my dog was doing and updates which really put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her.”
“Heather had her hands full with my 7 month old lab/husky puppy. She accepted the challenge and took great care of Meadow. I appreciated the updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Heather as a pet sitter.”
“Mary was a super attentive sitter. She made sure Mandy was safe and comfortable at all times. Mandy loves to cuddle and be around people and Mary and her partner were constantly giving her all the attention she wanted! Also when it was cold outside they would cover her paws or give her a sweater which was super sweet. And she provided constant updates every few hours so we always knew how Mandy was doing! Mandy is an older dog and when there was a concern for her health they brought it up immediately. Seriously Mary is a rock star sitter!!”
“Another excellent boarding experience with Becky and Christian. They kept in touch and sent photos regularly. Sweetie was calm and happy when I picked her up.”
“Yuka was amazing with my high-anxiety dog. Her sons were also super helpful in making Oris trip better. Yuka made sure that Ori was well taken care of and put our minds at ease. I would definitely recommend her!!”
“Jackie is amazing! This was my first time leaving my puppers with someone and I was super anxious. Jackie was very kind and welcoming, answered any questions and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She sent me pictures and gave me updates, and he looked happy and cozy. I would definitely trust her with Rex again in the future!!”
“Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.”
“Our pup Kody was happy as a clam and in great hands while we were on vacation. 1. Daily updates (pics / vids) 2. Very friendly 3. Flexible schedule What more could you ask for? 😁”
“Gregory watched our mini golden for 6 days and was super communicative keeping us updated on how she was adjusting and sending lots of pictures. She had a great time”
“Could not recommend more. Mike cares for your dogs like they are your own and he really understands different dog temperaments. We are so glad we found him to help look after our fur babies when we go out of town. We will definitely be using him again and again.”
“Hardy was an exceptional caretaker for our boy, Teddy P. This was my first time leaving him while going on vacation. I received pictures and videos daily. I am astounded that he blended so well with other dogs. When I picked him up he wasn’t anxious. He’s relaxed and happy. He will definitely return soon. Thank you, Hardy for your expertise, kindness and care. Welcome to the family! ♥️”
“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!”
“Olive was extremely responsive to my messages and shared photos of Charlotte's stay while we were away. Her property, with its fenced in yard, was very conducive to allowing Charlotte to run around and lazily sunbathe. Olive followed all care instructions I provided, and I am fully satisfied with the visit.”
“Jimmy took such good care of Amadeus, I’m so happy! Amadeus is an older dog with dietary issues and anxious/reactive tendencies that affect how he interacts with people and other animals. Jimmy took all of this with stride and made our dog feel at home. He gave us daily updates which put me at ease and listened to all of our concerns. I’d recommend Jimmy and his sister to anyone.”
“Melissa and Dan are the best. They’ve watched both of our dogs on several occasions and are always amazing with them. They are our “go-to” sitters. Highly recommend.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Heaton
Ive had my Boston Terrier for 2 years now and have never left him for more than a day. Naturally I was apprehensive about the thought of leaving for a 10 day vacation. I saw Kate's profile on Rover and read over the reviews and easily made my choice. We had a meet n greet and I and my Franklin were instantly at ease and I knew Kate's home was a safe and loving home and that I could enjoy my vacation knowing my boy was in good hands. Kate was very timely with updates and feedback about how Franklin was doing. He met so many new friends and even found a napping place on laps of complete strangers. That says it all. Kate and her family will always be my first contact when I need a home away from home for my boy. I cant recommend Kate enough. Thanks Kate!
Becky and Christian did a great job taking care of Freya. They sent me daily update photos and answered my texts quickly. Freya was very comfortable and relaxed when I picked her up after she stayed in their home. I will definitely have them take care of Freya again.
We had a wonderful experience with Colleen! She quickly became friends with our dog, and we could tell right away that she knows how to handle and connect with pets. Everything went smoothly, and we had absolutely no problems during our dog’s stay. We are very happy with her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely knows how to take care of and get along with animals. We would be happy to have her watch our dog again!
Yino took amazing care of Bonnie while we were on vacation for a week - she sent pictures and videos showing how happy she was the whole time. She even took extra care during storms for our very anxious pup and provided the appropriate medication. We’ll definitely be booking with Yino again next time we need a sitter! Communication was phenomenal and Bonnie was taken care of perfectly.
Maggie stayed with Amy and Timothy once again and I couldn’t be happier with their care for her! They are so accommodating and helpful. They always send pictures and videos. I can enjoy wherever I am because I know Maggie is safe with them. Also, Maggie loves going with them, I can tell when I drop her off and that’s the ultimate satisfaction! Thanks Amy and Timothy!
Mary was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She was caring, reliable, attentive, and clearly treated my dog like her own. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Lauren watched my senior dog 5 nights while we were away on vacation. She did a great job with communication and I had no worries that my pup was in good hands. I have a feeling my pup enjoyed the attention from the other (human) family members as well, just like home.

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 Heaton 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 Heaton.
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 Heaton 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.
