“Patrick was great with our pups, Yeti and Casper, and seemed to take very good care of them while we were out of the country. We also appreciated the daily updates with pictures! We will definitely take them back next time we are out of town.”
“First time I left my little guy with someone other than family. They were very loving and sent me updates and photos morning and night. So happy I found such wonderful people to care for my sweet little pup. I was able to relax without worry and enjoyed a great time. Thank you Vivian and family.”
“Melissa did a wonderful job caring for our dog Sadie! She made us feel very comfortable that she was in good hands! Every day she sent us multiple updates & pictures of her. She treated her like one of her own! Highly recommend Melissa!”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing with my dog! She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I could tell he was having a great time and was well loved and cared for. Nancy and Butch are lovely people and I highly recommend their services!!”
“Tina was great. The nice perk is she has a big yard and a doggie door so my Yorkie could go in and out of her house whenever he wanted to. He is very attached to people and she took very good care of him!”
“Kara was very responsive in setting up our visit. I was in Italy and even with the time difference she made sure I got a message and pictures daily. Teddy seemed to enjoy his visit. She has children which he loves. Definitely will use her again!”
“Gracie was well cared for by Carol. She is very experienced with dogs. Great fenced in backyard which was safe for a puppy to run around. I have a 6 month old puppy who is a ball of energy. I think she exhausted everyone 😊”
“I can't recommend Heather enough! She treats your dog like family! Took such good care of my pup and sent lots pictures of all the fun while watching her. Will 100% be using her again! She is the best!”
“Ashley was very responsive in a last minute scenario. She made it seamless and was a great find for us. She sent photos and was available at all times. Highly recommended.”
“Adisyn was great. She has some animals of her own and they are very friendly. She sent me pictures of my pup throughout the evening. My pup seemed to have a great time. Would recommend!”
“Sharon took great care of our Maggie! It was our first time with Sharon, a somewhat last minute booking, and we are so glad to have found her. Maggie was her normal self when she came home, happy and healthy, which is the tell all of a good sitter.”
“We felt confident leaving Willow with Jessica that she would be well taken care of and loved. Jessica kept us up to date with pictures and Willow looked the princess she believes she is. She definitely made herself at home. We will definitely use Jessica again when we go away. Robin Harvey”
“Amanda and her children took very good care of our dog. He was very happy there and ate all of his food which he normally doesn't do. Amanda was very accommodating and we would love to use her services again when we are in town. Her fenced backyard was a big plus for our dog who likes to be outside. Also, our dog liked playing with her dog.”
“Andrew and his family were wonderful with our dog. We were so comfortable leaving our dog in his care and our dog warmed right up to him. We received texts, with photos, from Andrew every day. He is an awesome dog sitter!!”
About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
“I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hostetter
Robert was great with our Savannah. Though she was certainly happy to see us, she did not seem distraught in any way when we picked her up. Since I was nervous leaving her, Robert sent me lots of pics and updates. It appeared Savannah and Robert's dogs, Lizzy and Elvis, all got along well. I feel Savannah was well cared for and likely spoiled. She is accustomed to being spoiled, so she felt right at home.
The best! If your pet is lucky enough to have Marcy, then you and your pet are in for a tweet. Stella had plenty of walks, love and attention. Marcy went out of her way to come to our house to meet Stella and ourselves prior to taking Stella in. I dropped Stella off at her lovely home with plenty of space for Stella. Marcy returned Stella to our home, so that we didn’t have to go out after my surgery. It was the perfect match. I hope Stella is lucky enough to go and stay with Marcy again.

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 Hostetter 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 Hostetter.
<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 Hostetter 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.
