“Fantastic experience! Our Dobby, received the absolute best care. She went above and beyond, even helping Dobby get comfortable and relaxed around other dogs. Professional, caring, and highly recommended!”
“Orzo was in wonderful hands with Deirdre. She knew what he needed when he was sad and gave him the attention he so very much craves. And with all her experiences with dogs and other animals, I knew she could handle any emergency that might occur, although nothing happened at all. I would highly recommend Deirdre!!!”
“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.”
“We were a little nervous since we’d never used Rover before, but everything went so smoothly. Owen & Emily took great care of our precious girl overnight, sent us updates, and made us feel completely at ease.”
“David was amazing! If you’re a nervous cat mommy like me, don’t worry at all. My baby was so well taken care of, and David sent a ton of updates and pictures while I was away which all pet parents love lol. 10/10, and @David I will be seeing you soon!”
“Our dog has some pretty bad anxiety and has come home from previous sitters pretty stressed out. This time, she ate her meals, played with the resident dog, and came home stress free and happy as could be!”
“Tracy was amazing taking care of Checho! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a true dog lover. She was incredibly attentive and made sure Checho felt comfortable and happy while I was away. Tracy kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. When I returned, Checho was relaxed and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Great people, great family. Stella was treated with the same love and attention that we provide her daily. They were very flexible and sent lots of pics to let us know she was ok. Their standard of care was exceptional.”
“Tiffany was great! She had a huge backyard my doggo could run all around in. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and they clearly showed my dog enjoying herself. She was very communicative and quick to respond. Would highly recommend her and hope to book with her in the future!”
About: I've owned three dogs in the past 20 years. A greyhound (rescue), a border collie/retriever mix (rescue) and a chihuahua. Each one unique in their personality, energy level and needs, giving me a broad understanding of dog care. I recently retired and can't think of a better way to spend some of my free time, than with pups. I'm available M-F, and we could probably negotiate some weekends if needed. I love taking dogs for walks. We frequently walked our dogs at Kolapechka park and utilized the dog play areas. I could do the same for yours. Open to broadening my services to include overnight stays in my home once a bond/trust is developed between myself and your pet.
“Riley was wonderful to work with. So accommodating and she was wonderful sending me pictures of Luna the whole time we were away making us feel very comfortable. Definitely will use her again!!”
“Absolutely more than I had imagined when it comes to leaving my Lux with someone for the first time. The amount of love he received and the instant comfort I received, made is easy to leave him in the care of Pamela with my mind at ease. I will forever be grateful for being able to have a night of adulting and not have to worry about my Lux! Pamela is a phenomenal caregiver :)”
“Sarah was great!! She took my pups at the last minute and was very flexible with the drop off/pick-up times. They were happy with Sarah and she kept them separated from the larger dogs for which I'm grateful. I would definitely recommend Sarah and would use her again!!”
About: I've cared for dogs for 15 years, I focus on dogs 25lbs and less. I follow your dogs normal routine and send pictures updates I currently work from home on Thursday and Friday and can care for your fur baby on the weekends. I offer overnight stays and drop in visits I have a fenced in yard and a small Boston terrier that enjoys playing and walking in the park. I can keep them separate if you prefer
“Goose had the time of her life. Made friends with another dog, a cat, and a pig named Penny! Deanna was awesome and gave us updates everyday with photos. She made my first time using Rover a great one! She made us feel comfortable and Goose was in very good hands!”
“I needed a dog sitter on Thanksgiving day for a few hours and I hit the jackpot finding Lori! She took such great care of our little Winnie and it is evident how much she loves dogs. Lori had excellent communication and we received lots of updates during her stay which made us feel even more comfortable. Thank you so much Lori!”
“Emily was very kind and kept me updated on my dog while he was under her care. I wasn’t very happy that the other dog she was sitting chewed up my dogs bed a bit but other than that everything was great.”

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 Hometown 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 Hometown.
<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 Hometown 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.
