“Bottom line, Samantha was awesome. Her family welcomed Axel and treated him like one of their own. She sent pics daily and Axel always looked active and happy. She was easily contacted and responsive answering any questions or concerns. We are so happy to have met Samantha and definitely plan on utilizing her genuine care again in the future!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for 30 years, including an English Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I have firsthand experience caring for medically complex, high-maintenance dogs and understand the patience, attention, and consistency they need. After recently losing my Frenchie, I miss being around dogs, but I am not ready to own another one yet. I’d give your dog dependable, attentive care while enjoying their company. I’m retired, so my schedule is flexible. I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they need. Pet care will easily fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m also available during weekdays, when many pet owners are at work. In my home, dogs are family and welcome throughout the house. We have a securely fenced yard and a gated porch for safe outdoor time. I can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, or they are welcome to sleep in a bed if preferred.
“Michael was very accommodating and easy to work with, and he clearly understands dogs' temperaments and needs. His kind and gentle, yet firm, manner was very reassuring for my seven year-old rescue dog, Jack, who still struggles with meeting men. Jack was immediately at ease with Michael at our initial visit, and was excited to visit again. He came home happy, healthy, and relaxed after his 5-day stay in Michael's home, and we'll be sure to ask about staying with him again if we have to travel without our dog. Thank you, Michael.”
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.
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
“Excellent pet watcher!! I highly recommend. They were very responsive, and flexible. My cat T-square had a blast at there place. He was loved, groomed, and cared for, as if he was with me! ❤️”
“Angeline and her husband are amazing people. So easy to deal with and they truly love your dog like their own. They take time for daily pics and updates and angeline responds nearly instantly to any rover message. Do not hesitate to trust this wonderful couple with your fur baby.”
“Breanna went above and beyond when watching our pup! She easily made him feel at home and provided us with many updates throughout his stay. So grateful for her dog whispering!”
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I am a recent Pitt alum with a passion for pets! I’ve been taking care of dogs of my own for about 15 years now and love every minute! I’ve also pet sat for family and friends on and off for the past 4 years. To me, pets are apart of our families and deserve the best care possible. I’m here to help care for all of your furry friends like they’re my own: with passion, kindness, and a little fun too :) I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, administering medication, and overall dog care! I currently work a full-time, Monday-Friday job. I am available during the week after 6pm for drop by visits and walks. I usually have open availability on the weekends, but please check my availability for updated times and dates! I have three dogs at home, two senior dogs and a younger pup. They all get along with other dogs well, but their will be some initial barking and sniffing when introduced to knew furry friends. I am about 10 minutes away from South Park, which also has a dog park.
“This was our first time using Dogvacay.com and we were lucky enough to find the best hosts possible! Hands down, Mikki and Matt couldn't have done a better job! They were so welcoming with Olivia from the very moment they met her. They also kept me completely updated with how the stay was going a long with daily pictures of our sweet girl. While there are many dog sitters on this site, it was very important for me to find someone who was just as personal about their pets as I am with my own, and Mikki and Matt did just that! They took Olivia in and treated her as if she was their very own! I definitely will be using them in the future!”
“Our experience with Adrienne was excellent! She was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly cared so much about our dog. Throughout the stay, she sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected the whole time. It was clear from every message and photo that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her communication was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure both we and our pup had a great experience. We truly appreciated her warmth, attentiveness, and reliability. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Autumn is fabulous!!! She remained in touch with us during our entire trip. She sent pictures and videos regularly. Cocoa couldn’t have been in better hands. Autumn and her family treated Cocoa very well. At pick-up, Cocoa was excited to see us, but she also appeared sad to leave Autumn. We are 100% pleased with Autumn’s care, and we will definitely trust her with Cocoa in the future!!!”

I have over 15 years of dog care experience and would be happy to care of your fur baby and give them a wonderful staycation of their own while you are away. I would love to know about your pet’s daily routine, special needs, exercise requirements , medication and allergy information - please share as much details possible. I can attend to picky eaters - just let me know your fur baby’s likes and dislikes, how they want to be fed. I will be able to follow their daily health supplement , oral medication requirements. I love taking my dog on long walks, trails and your pup will be enjoying the same outdoor activities while staying at my place. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby !

As a dog mom myself , I completely understand the emotion we go through when leaving our fur babies away and knowing that , I want to assure you that your pup’s emotional and physical security will be my top priority. They will be spoiled with cuddles, hugs and indoor- outdoor relax time as per their liking. The fenced in yard is where they can run and play to their hearts content carefree and I do have lots of outdoor toys for them to enjoy.
“Adam was a great sitter for Remi. He was very communicative and flexible with our revised pick up time. Proof of life photos were provided every day with a small summary of the day. Would highly recommend!”
“I would describe Chef’s stay with Elle as like staying in a Camp doggie … full of activities like off leash hiking In a park morning and/or afternoon , playing frisbee/ball in their big backyard with her family , and if you get lucky like Chef, you get to learn how to swim in the pool and learn how to jump like those agility courses . Chef stayed overnight for 5 nights , and he was treated like family . We are so lucky to have found Elle to watch our dog. And it was so nice that he gets to play with their border collie Eve , as well as other dogs in Elle’s care for the day . It’s really a nice feeling to leave your dog to a family that enjoys taking care of them as well as knowledgeable and very confident in all things doggie ? Oh and while we were away , we got so many updates like pics, videos of every activity that they did . It was fun to watch and very reassuring to see . Thank you very very much !”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since high school and have 8+ years of experience. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s dogs, including disabled dogs that required extra attention and patience. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, and understand how to adjust care based on their needs. I work virtually, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m a huge animal lover and vegan, so I take caring for animals very seriously and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work virtually and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, and stick closely to their normal routine. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to make sure they feel secure and stress-free. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and even disabled dogs that require extra care and patience. I keep a clean, calm environment and provide close supervision at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
Just concluded our first stay with Danielle. More happy with this stay than any other I have booked previously with other sitters through Rover. I got pics, videos, and updates multiple times each day. I could tell the way my girl ran around the house when I got there that she was comfortable with her surroundings and I witnessed her loving to play with Danielle's dogs and sons. Peach looked great and healthy and was very happy when I picked her up.
Jaclyn and Ashleigh were positively perfect for what we needed. Our first time using the two of them was also first time we had decided to leave our two pups since we adopted our youngest in September and it could not have gone better. They were very responsive and communicative from the setup of the first introduction clear through to pick-up. They not only seemed to tolerate but actually kind of enjoy some of the decidedly quirkiness or silliness of our pair. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our family!

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
