“Angelita was amazing! She was extremely prompt and thorough with communication. The set-up she has at her house is very dog-friendly, giving our four-legged family member her own vacation while we were on ours. It is obvious that Angelita loves caring for dogs; the second our dog met her, they were instantly best friends. She sent lots of updates while we were away! Will absolutely be using Angelita again!!”
“Michael and his family were wonderful with my dog, Sunny. They walked him regularly, did different activities and played with him. He appeared to have a good time and looked comfortable for the whole visit. I received regular updates with photos, so I always knew what he was up to. Michael was organized and prepared to host a dog. He even had a crate (if Sunny needed it), lots of toys, and a comfy spot for Sunny to sleep. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Sunny was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
“Alyssa was simply the best ! She took care of my lab very well for over 10 days. She was always prompt in her response. I will highly recommend her and use her services again ! I can tell just by looking at my pets eyes to check if they are happy or not. My fur bub was super comfortable and happy. Thanks Alyssa !”
About: I have years of experience caring for and boarding friends’ and family members’ dogs, and I genuinely enjoy making dogs feel comfortable and at home while their owners are away. I work from home, which means I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day and accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routine. With a fully fenced-in yard and frequent walks, your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and relaxation. I also have experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering oral medications and managing a prescription diet. I understand how important it is to follow feeding instructions, give medications on schedule, and make sure only approved foods and treats are given. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, just like one of my own! I work from home full time and maintain a consistent daily routine with my own dog, so pet care is already a natural part of my day. This includes daily walks, outdoor playtime, and regular feeding schedules. Having a flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to easily accommodate your dog’s routine and individual needs without disrupting their day. Whether they need extra walks, playtime, attention, or a little extra care, I’ll be happy to make them feel right at home! My home is very dog-friendly and set up to make visiting dogs feel right at home! I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for running around, playing, and getting some fresh air. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and can make themselves comfortable throughout the house. I also have an Australian Shepherd who loves meeting and playing with other dogs and people. He’s crate-trained and has grown up with other dogs being a regular part of his environment, so having a furry visitor around is nothing new to him. I also understand that every dog has different personalities and comfort levels. I’m happy to provide separate spaces, breaks from playtime, and individual attention whenever needed. Whether your dog wants a playmate or prefers some quiet time to themselves, I’ll make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. My goal is to make every dog feel welcome, relaxed, and part of the family!
“Olive had such a wonderful stay! Megan & Vitaliy were wonderful hosts. They kept us updated, sent lots of pictures & videos. We will definitely be rebooking with them again in the future!”
“Amber was amazing to our dog Kenzo. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures and messages. She really cared for him and I could tell Kenzo was very happy. I will definitely book with her again for our next trip.”
“Jaxson loved his stay at Tara’s. When we used to take him to a kennel, he came home exhausted. He was not overtired or stressed at all in Tara’s home environment! They have a wonderful back yard that is fenced, and availability to walking paths right behind their house. Highly recommend.”
“Jenna was fantastic, flexible, and fluid in all communication. We were in a pinch from out of state and she responded immediately, was willing to do a meet prior to ensure it was all ok and coordinated with multiple people in my family for drop offs and pick ups throughout the long weekend. She sent pics consistently with context and updates and you could see how at home our sweet Geti girl became after settling in. She really observed Geti to ensure she was as comfortable as possible and gave her all the cuddles. Geti was able to go freely in and outside and relax by the window. We would recommend Jenna to anyone needing some pup sitting or care!”
“Heather was great with my dog Fauna. My pup is already a picky eater and heather was very understanding and helpful even when fauna wasn’t eating her usual food. Heather has two dogs of her own that are very friendly and were lovely with my dog as well. Thank you heather!”
“I love taking my dog to her. My dog knows exactly who she is. She loves her and she takes very good care of my dog. I’ve never had a problem. I will continue to keep going back to her as long as she accepts my dog and she takes very good care of my dog. Thank you again”
“Curtis was absolutely wonderful with Rosie! He was kind, dependable, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in his care while we were away. Rosie was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when we picked her up. Curtis treated her like part of his own family, and that peace of mind meant so much to us. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely book with Curtis again!”
“We had such a great experience with Catherine! She was super responsive from the start and answered all our questions, which made us feel really comfortable booking with her. Chippy had the best time at her place. He got along so well with her dog and family. Catherine sent us regular updates and photos, and we came home to a happy, tired pup. She even went out of her way to drop off Chippy’s bed when we accidentally left it behind. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“We will definitely be using Sam to care for Finley whenever we have a need! Sam was responsive to all messages, sent regular updates about Finley while in her care and clearly demonstrates a passion for caring for animals. Highly recommend!”

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.
97% of sitters in Hessdale 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 Hessdale 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 Hessdale.
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 Hessdale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Hessdale 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.
