“Sarah took such great care of our dogs Landon and Raven! They seemed so happy in all the update photos and we were very pleased. They were with her for 11 days and they seemed very comfortable staying with her! Thanks so much!! 😊”
“Tina communicated well and sent me pictures of my dog while I was away. She responded right away whenever I sent her a message as well. I will be using her in the future whenever it is needed! Thank you!”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
About: I have had dogs all my life but love all animals. I am a mom of 3 girls, 1 dog and 3 chickens. Please let me know of any special requests your pet might need for there stay. I will do my best to make there stay as comfortable as possible so they will love their home away from home. I am a stay at home mom so I can be home with your pup, take them to the park or do pick up and drop offs. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced in yard and your pet will never be unattended. There is plenty of room for even the largest dog to run and play.
“Juliane was super sweet ! I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her for the few nights I needed to. I asked to keep me updated with pictures and she did just that! Would 100% recommend and would book again if needed”
“Jessica was amazing. Took such good care of our two dogs and has expertise in grooming! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her and she made sure to update me everyday which made me feel better. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone!”
“Our puppy, Lulu Belle, spent 4 days and 3 nights with Sandra last week and she absolutely loved it. Sandra has a large yard, with all kinds of outdoor furniture and platforms, for the dogs to enjoy climbing on, as they race each other around the property. We loved the photos and message updates, Sandra sent us throughout each of the days, from early morning to bedtime. We appreciated these regular updates showing our dog was safe and having fun.”
About: Ive never known a time I didnt have dogs and cats. I have experience working with large breed working dogs as well as smaller dogs and everything in between. The only dogs that intimidate me are Rottweilers and chiuahahas! I love cats. I have extensive experience with fish and some birds too. I currently have 2 conures. I have a saltwater fish tank and a fresh water betta tank so I can easily care for your fish as well. I have a german shepherd pup myself and shes super friendly. I dont have to bring her around your pets. I let her outside about wvery two hours to play. We play ball and fetch. When the weather is good we go on long walks or hikes in the woods. I currently use a wireless gps fence for my dog. In your home I would certainly rely on a fence or a leash. I would not want to be responsible for an injury to your fur baby.
“Lynn was incredible! She kept our pup happy, healthy and safe and we know he got plenty of exercise and love which we truly appreciate. Anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter, look no further! :)”

“Agnesa was fantastic as a sitter. We contacted her on fairly short notice to watch our six month old sheltie Laska, and she was flexible around timing with our flights out of and back into Newark. She kept us up to date on Laska regularly with pictures and videos, she did quite a bit of training with him that was very helpful (we’ve learned a lot from her), and it was clear when we picked him up that he had a wonderful time with her! We appreciated her communication with us and her care for Laska. We will definitely be contacting Agnesa again the next time we need someone to watch Laska!”

About: Hi! While I don’t have professional pet care experience yet, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am excited to finally get the chance to experience what it’s like to care for a pet. I’m kind, patient, and gentle—and I’m eager to provide your furry family member with lots of attention and affection. In my daily life, I’m a student and also help take care of a baby, so I’m used to being responsible, organized, and attentive. I live a very clean and healthy lifestyle—I don’t smoke, I enjoy a calm home environment, and I take routines seriously. I believe pets can feel energy, and I bring a peaceful and caring presence they’ll feel safe around. I may be new to pet sitting, but I promise to treat your pet like part of my family. I’m here to learn, grow, and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I’m usually home in the mornings and afternoons, and I enjoy spending my free time in calm, peaceful environments—perfect for caring for pets. Because I already help care for a baby as part of my routine, I’m used to planning my day around someone else’s needs. Adding pet care to my daily life feels natural and exciting. Whether it’s a potty break, play session, or cuddle time, I’m happy to fit it into my schedule and make your pet feel safe and loved. I live in a quiet, clean apartment with a large grassy area just outside—perfect for walks, potty breaks, and safe outdoor play. It's a pet-friendly community, and I always keep pets leashed and closely supervised when outside to make sure they stay safe. I maintain a calm and tidy home environment with no smoking, no other pets, and no young children running around—so your pet will have a peaceful and safe place to relax. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely and pay attention to the little things—like keeping water bowls full, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Trust and communication are very important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands.
About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other household pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust while providing attentive, personalized care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and maintaining consistent routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am proud of my commitment to treating every pet like family. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being so I can quickly notice any changes that may need attention. I communicate regularly with pet owners, provide updates and photos, and always strive to give them peace of mind while they’re away. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, or shy animals that need extra patience, I provide loving, responsible care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home with generous breaks. While my schedule is 9-5, I wake early to go on walks in my neighborhood, and my work day includes 1.5 hours of breaks. After work is much like “before work”. A pet would work perfectly in this schedule I have a 3 story townhome and garage! I recently installed a fence! I will keep the pet entertained with fetch, and other stimulating games and puzzles

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.

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 Housum 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 Housum 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 Housum.
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 Housum. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Housum 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.
