“Christina and Ian took amazing care of our pups. I would recommend her to anyone who is worried about leaving their dogs with a stranger. She took great care in making sure we were updated and even sent them home with a box of treats when we picked them up. 10/10”
“Karen and Donald provided excellent care for my French Bulldog, Willie! They treated him just like family and were very attentive to his needs. He has separation anxiety and he was allowed to be with them in their own home and even sleep next to Donald on the bed. Willie had a great time during his visit and I highly recommend this service.”
“We were a nervous wreck leaving our 12 year old Baby with a stranger for the first time and for 10 days! Laura invited us to a meet and greet at her home before we left and she is the type of person that when you meet her and have a conversation, you feel like you’ve been friends for years! She took very good care of Baby and sent us texts with pics the whole time we were gone! I highly recommend her and I was thrilled when she said she would watch her again!”
About: I have cared for pets since I was a a child. My first pet chose me when I was about 5 years old. When I stayed with my babysitter, I would play with their cat all day. The babysitter gave me Tiger because they saw how much I loved her. Ever since then I cared for dogs and cats. I walj my dogs every day weather permitting. I bathe and brush them when needed. My little guys love playdates and are sooo friendly. I am currently retired, so I can provide exceptional care. I spend lots of time in my big fenced in yard, and eager to play fetch. Lots of playtime. I have so many toys. Big fenced yard and lots of time for running around. I also have a doggy door so all the fur babies can go out and in as much as they like.
“Tanjida and her husband are absolutely wonderful. They’ve very gentle, loving, and warm. They paid attention to Minks allowing her to open up and be hee loving self. Tanjida sent pictures and updates throughout the two days.”
About: Lifelong Dog and Cat person, have always had pets and always will. I love all animals. My dog Hank was diagnosed with Glaucoma right before his 6th birthday; it was an adjustment getting used to a new routine of 3 different types of Eye-drops, every 8 hours. My friends and colleagues had often commented, "You're really good with animals." the💡idea became a recurring suggestion that I would enjoy offering temporary care to other people's Pets, similarly to how I lovingly care for any of my own animals. Often get asked why/how my dog Hank is so well behaved, mellow, and such a good dog. Is it the training? "Sure," of course. But most of it is quite simple: Hank is rarely left alone. He goes everywhere with me. He hikes about 5 miles every day. He doesn't overeat, or sit-around. He's active, gets exercise, and is socialized often with other people and pets. So when he meets a new person, it's not a first, it's his daily routine. If your work/life balance has you leaving your pet alone most days? I can help change your dog's daily routine - so when you come home from work? Your dog has had a full day of activities they enjoy, and are happy to see you (with less pent up energy) Available 7 days a week to care for your dogs or cats. Have flexibility to be able to adjust to a variety of tasks. Let's chat about what you need. Whether I'm stopping-in quickly to fill the water & food bowl, administering some mid-day medication, taking your dog outside for a brief walk, or picking up your pet at your place & taking it to their favorite park or nature center; even having your pet for a play-date at my house with our huge fenced in Yard, or doing a doggy slumber party at your home. I'm ready to keep your pet entertained, well cared for, well fed, up to date on all medications, and very well-loved while they're in my care. Relax knowing, i've checked ✔️ off that box representing the responsibility of your dog or cat, while you're working or vacationing.
“Christy and her family were great with our dog Bucky, who is an excitable one year old Australian Cattle Dog. I got regular updates and felt very good leaving our pup with her.”
“Chrisie is a great sitter. She always sends us pics of our dog and keeps us updated on how he's doing while in her care. She's patient with him and we feel at ease knowing he is safe with her. This was her second time watching our poodle and definitely won't be the last. Highly recommend her! Thanks Chrisie!”
“Rochelle was AWESOME!!! Home away from Home, for MyMann!! Highly recommend her services....We left MyMann in her care for 4 days, we received daily photos and updates, very appreciated. Thank you for your love and care for MyMann!”
“Jessica is excellent. Kept us informed throughout the whole time. She sent us picks and walked China with her dogs. China seemed very happy near her and her dogs. If I visit PA again and need a pet sitter/boarding, I will def. Will look for her services.”

About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping both pets and their owners. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to caring for animals. I'm a proud dog owner and have two cats, so I understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, and a consistent routine. As a parent of young children involved in sports, I'm active, organized, and used to managing busy schedules.

You can count on me to treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home and live right in town. This gives me great flexibility in my day to meet your needs as well as a close travel distance. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by the owner.
About: I don't have much experience with dog care. My family briefly had a dog or two when we lived in Trinidad and Tobago for about 2 years. And my oldest brother briefly lived with a Husky. I've been surrounded by cats most of my life since I was about 15 years old and now I'm 42 years old. I plan on being the sole pet caregiver in my household for your pet(s) and I will treat your pet or dog like an extended part of the family. Whatever rules you wish for me to follow with your pet or dog I will follow and respect them. I have a deep compassion for animals and will treat your pet or dog with love and care. I'm currently a part-time home health aide or caregiver for my Autistic 14 year old son which takes place at our home. I have a family of 5 including three kids and I'm looking for a way to make extra income. We live with 4 cats who spend most of their time outdoors. We have a fenced up yard with plenty of room for your pet(s) to roam around in and play.
“Joann and Angelina were amazing with our dog! My Sully is a very anxious pup and attached to his humans. This makes it hard to leave him with someone new. Joann and Angelina made this difficult thing to do so much easier! Joann texted me throughout the day and even sent me some pictures to assure me that he was okay. Oh and their dog Remi is such a sweet boy and loves people and was so good with accepting my dog as well. Our day went longer than we expected and Joann and Angelina were willing to help out longer than expected. I am so thankful to them for taking care of my dog and will definitely book with them again when needed.”

If your dog isn't dog friendly I would be happy to keep them separate and comfortable! I have a fence for the dogs to run around and play. I also have ties outs for the dogs as well. We live in a wooded neighborhood on a dirt road that is super quiet!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hilldale
We have another trip early next year & hope to use Anna again! Our Baby Girl Mae was clearly Not as angry at us as when she was boarded at her vet, who we love, but the home with other dog type environment is so much more like normal life for us all I think. This was more like a Doggy Vacation for her where she met new friends, both humans & dogs, & had minimal adjustments in daily life which we value for our almost 14 year old Lab. A Great Experience Overall! Thank You Anna!

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 Hilldale 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 Hilldale.
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 Hilldale 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.
