“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“Jeremy was excellent with taking time to meet Dina before her stay. He sent a lot of nice pictures and Dina was very happy when we picked her up. We will be using Jeremy again!”

We will definitely be using your services again and again. Thanks for all the pics and daily updates too! Our family enjoyed seeing them each day. We missed her so much but could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Liberty was having an absolute ball with you.”

About: I've had dogs and cats in my life for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and affection throughout the day. I have a sweet miniature schnauzer named Brad who is a big part of my daily routine. I only accept one client's pets at a time, so your dog won't be competing with a house full of unfamiliar animals for attention. I want their stay to feel relaxed, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. My home has a partially fenced yard, and I'm happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines. I'll also send pictures and updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away. Whether you're traveling for a weekend or heading out on vacation, I'll treat your pet like part of the family. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and company. My miniature schnauzer, Brad, is already part of my daily routine, so caring for another dog fits naturally into our day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet's usual feeding, walking, and rest times. I want your dog to feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I only board one client's pets at a time, so they receive personalized attention in a relaxed home environment. I have a partially fenced yard and always supervise outdoor time. I'm happy to follow your dog's usual routines and any special instructions. I'll also send pictures and updates so you know how they're doing.
“Jeanine was so kind and patient with my elderly dog. Our dog seemed so happy and relaxed with every picture and video taken of her. Even got her to play which she hadn’t done in months. I will rebook with her every chance that I get when we are traveling”
About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
“Jordyn was awesome with my girl! Great communication and sent me pics to keep me updates which I loved. :) Would definitely leave Merle with Jordyn again in the future.”
“Athena was very happy when I picked her up, It was like she was on vacation while I was gone. I will definitely be having Adrienne watch Athena again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Kyle was amazing. Having had our rescue dog for just 3 months, I wasn’t sure how the overnight boarding would go. He gave our Bugsy all the attention he needed to feel secure. He even sent pictures capturing Bugsy’s sleepover fun! I would definitely recommend him.”
“Adam was awesome. Not only was he great with my girl but he was very kind in dealing with me, this being the first time I’ve left my girl anywhere before. He reassured me she was good and responded patiently when I asked for constant updates. I actually think she misses him upon returning home with me!!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and we recommend it 100%! Tristan was awesome with Sadie! We got tons of pictures and she was very responsive. Would recommend her-Sadie came home happy and healthy!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Heidelberg
Julia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter, and we highly recommend her! She is an excellent communicator and sent us numerous photos and updates throughout each day, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and well cared for our girl was. We have had the pleasure of meeting many excellent dog sitters through Rover, and we are delighted to have found someone as caring, attentive, and trustworthy as Julia. Our dog, JJ, is older and does best in a calm environment where she can maintain her familiar routine. Julia understood how important this was and did a wonderful job ensuring JJ felt comfortable and keeping her on her usual schedule. When we picked JJ up, she seemed content, relaxed, and happy, which told us everything we needed to know! It is such a relief to find someone we can trust to care for our beloved girl with the same thoughtfulness and attention we would give her ourselves. We would happily book Julia again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter.
Amber was fantastic with our pup! She sent us daily, detailed updates along with pictures. She took great care of him, and even cleaned out his ear when she noticed he was scratching at it. She even sent us home with a very kind little goody bag including some pictures of him! She is a true dog person, and I'd definitely recommend her! We expect to rebook in the future!
Jessica is a gem. My dog, Aimee, is a delicate Maltese. Aimee's had knee surgery for MPL, common in this breed. Aimee limped once, after daycare. Aimee's also had gastric reflux and she requires a special diet. I sought someone who could give Aimee special attention. Jessica is an excellent caregiver/dog sitter. Aimee has fun there!! Boarding Aimee, I can vacation with ease, while Aimee vacations with Jess.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Heidelberg is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $41 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 892 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Heidelberg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Heidelberg 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 Heidelberg 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 Heidelberg.
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 Heidelberg. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Heidelberg 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.
