“Mariia was a wonderful sitter to my dog. She was kind and always very quick to respond to any questions I had. She truly cared for my dog and I could see in the photos she sent that my dog was happy when we were away. I will ask her to watch my dog again!”
“We were incredibly lucky to find a friendly and responsible dog sitter who frequently sent me messages, photos, and videos to keep me updated on how our dog was doing. He had a wonderful time at her home; not only did he find a caring sitter, but he also got to play with canine companions from morning till night every day. Whenever he got tired, he would simply go right to sleep—eating well and sleeping soundly—making for a truly delightful spring break! A huge thank you to Jia for all the love and care!”
“Phenomenal dog sitter. I boarded my two dogs with Jeffrey for Christmas week. He provided updates and pictures each day in a consistent and clear manner. He took great care of my dogs, and my dogs always have fun with Jeffrey's dog, Lily. I will continue to hire Jeffrey as my main dog sitter for as long as possible.”
“Absolutely 100% recommend. I received so many adorable photos of my pups while I was away. Excellent communication and can really tell how much Staci loves animals. She loved on my babies so much and can really tell that they were in good hands.”
“Our VERY energetic puppy had a great time. We received updates once a day and Hillary even provided a few item we had forgotten for our dog. As we were new to boarding our dog she went through the entire process which helped a lot. We couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend Hillary.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend! I grew up with dogs and have cared for pups of all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy and ready for a long walk or would rather spend the day playing, getting belly rubs, and hanging out, I’m happy to keep them company! Friends and family have trusted me with their dogs when they’re away, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I’m always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. My goal is to make sure your pup has a fun, happy day while you’re away! ♡ I’m currently working towards a masters and my classes are all at night. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets during the day! I’m available for walks, drop ins, and visits throughout the weekdays, times when your pet might otherwise be home alone. Weekend availability varies, so feel free to reach out and I’ll be happy to let you know what I can accommodate. ⚠️ Quick Note on House Sitting | Boarding My standard overnight house sitting rate includes overnight care and plenty of time with your pet throughout the day, as long as they’re comfortable being left alone for up to 3 hours. This allows me to occasionally step out for groceries, errands, or other short bookings. If your pet needs constant care and cannot be left alone due to medical needs, recovery, puppyhood, or separation anxiety, just let me know before booking! I’m happy to discuss their needs and arrange an hourly rate for constant care. I have pets of my own, so I know how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and whatever care they need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾
“Earlier this week, I found myself in the position of finding overnight care for my dog Cookie at the very last minute. I will never send him to a kennel since he does not do well with a lot of other dogs and I did not want him lost amidst a sea of yapping or feeling confined. I needed someone with a big, secure, natural back yard to enjoy when not on walks; someone with only one or two personal pets who would not take in others during Cookie’s stay; and someone active, engaged and loving with my special guy. I found that person in Christina. Christina is brand new to the platform, which I actually liked since I suspected she would go over and beyond what was required as she builds her reputation. Her narrative and the testimonials sounded authentic, and her photos showed obvious joy with dogs and cats. And she was available on short notice. I asked if we could do a live video “walk-around” her house, and mainly her yard, on WhatsApp, which I do not believe most people would have agreed to, but she did so readily. This is what I saw, heard and learned: 1) The yard is huge, secure, beautiful and interesting; 2) Her rapport with her own bichon was kind, gentle and fun (I learned she had three bichons for many years but two passed and I think Rover is partly to help fill that void); 3) She walks in Pennypack Park morning, noon and night so when Cookie was not enjoying the yard, he’d be enjoying new sights and sounds elsewhere with his new bichon buddy; 4) Cookie would not be caged ever, and no other dogs would be accepted for boarding while he was there. I had to change the drop off and pickup times at the last minute, which was not a problem at all. Drop-off was easy and communication consistent and remained on WhatsApp throughout the stay. I picked Cookie up a little while ago and I knew I had made the right choice for my guy. Cookie will be back at Christina’s without a question, though hopefully not at the last minute again. Five out of five!!!”
“They took great care of our two Dobermans! We got lots of pics, videos, and correspondence. They have a huge backyard where they got plenty of exercise. Bodhi and Haumea looked very happy when we picked them up. We will definitely use them in the future.”
“Melissa & Dan took great care of Bowser and were very understanding of his nervousness when a storm came through. They kept me updated on Bowser throughout his stay, and Bowser played well with their dogs. I highly recommend using them!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael & Loraine! It was our first time leaving Bomi with someone outside of family, and they were so patient, kind, and reassuring from the start — answering all our questions and even inviting us to see their clean, spacious home before booking. While we were away, they kept in touch with thoughtful updates and photos, and it was clear Bomi was happy, comfortable, and loved like family. We’re so grateful for their care, attention, and kindness, and would absolutely trust them with Bomi again. Highly recommend!”
“Debra is terrific! She is very knowledgeable, attentive, caring and had the perfect environment for Izzy. She reenforced Izzy's existing training and provided additional direction to her. She is a true professional. Debra keep us informed with regular updates and pictures. She ensured that our time away from Izzy was without worry. Izzy and Debra's dog Gleason got along great and based on the pictures they certainly had fun together. We would absolutely recommend Debra and certainly intend to use her again.”
“Our pup Kody was happy as a clam and in great hands while we were on vacation. 1. Daily updates (pics / vids) 2. Very friendly 3. Flexible schedule What more could you ask for? 😁”
“Was very flexible with pick up and drop off. This was my first time using rover for my dog and she Sent pictures throughout the stay putting my mind at ease while we were away. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog and cat owner and love all animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs and I’m looking forward to getting to know yours! I treat every pet in my car like family and provide a safe calm and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available to accommodate different routines depending on your pet’s needs. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I take time to learn each pets routine personality, and individual needs so I can provide an environment where they can relax and feel at home.
“Shamira was amazing with Loki. She send me updates daily and made sure to let me know how Loki was doing throughout the day. She was super flexible with drop off and pick up which I really appreciated and was comfortable administering his eye medication. We’re definitely booking with her again. Thank you Shamira!”
About: Despite being an dog lover for as long as I could remember, I didn't get to own a dog until 2021! Although I'm a little late to the game, owning my dog has taught me so much about dog behavior and animal nutrition. My pup is reactive so I have taken numerous training classes to help him, and I'm actively working on these issues, meaning not only do I have experience with reactive dogs, but I've also gained a ton of knowledge and information about canine behavior and training. I've also fostered puppies for my local dog rescue several times, so if you are having trouble with your new pup, I can take that stress off of you! I'm currently a full-time remote employee, which makes it incredibly easy for me to give your dog my attention if your pup stays with me, and/or house sit for ya! I do have a pup of mine at home, so any house sitting will need to be booked at least a week in advance, but other than that, I am available most days of the week for day cares and boarding! Safety is the number priority in my house so with that being said, if you decide to have your pup stay with me, I will keep them separated from mine! It will be a crate and rotate situation, just to keep both dogs and humans safe, but don't worry, they will get tons of exercise and treats when out! I have a fenced in yard at my home so if your pup loves to run around, they will get lots of it! But if they prefer walks, my neighborhood is quiet and has lots of smells for your pup to take in!
About: I’m the owner of Gold Paw Trails N’ Tails, a professional dog walking and pet care business. I work with dogs every day and have hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities. My experience includes puppies, seniors, large and small breeds, multi-dog households, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may be shy or anxious. I provide professional dog walking, drop-in care, group play, vacation care and boarding, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual routine and needs. Safety, reliability and communication are extremely important to me. I’m experienced with following detailed care instructions, managing different personalities and energy levels, and keeping pet parents updated while their dogs are in my care. Although I’m returning to Rover, I’m not new to professional pet care. This is what I do every day, and I treat every dog as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Pet care is my profession and a part of my daily routine. I own and operate a professional dog walking and pet care business, so my days are centered around caring for dogs. I offer weekday walks and drop-ins as well as vacation care and select weekend availability. I keep a structured schedule so every pet receives reliable, unrushed care. Safety and trust are always my priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely and treat every client’s home with respect. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities, and I adjust my approach to what makes each dog feel most comfortable. Communication is also important to me, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while their dog is in my care.
About: I adore my pup, Harper – she's one of the best things that ever happened to me. We enjoy long walks on the trail near our house and love playing fetch in the backyard. If you need a fun and safe place for your pet while you're traveling or taking a night off, we'd be happy to help. Harper and I are always ready for some furry companionship! I work from home, so i have availability thru out the day to take the pets out frequently. In the evenings we go for walks, and snuggle up on the couch for rest of the night As a dedicated and caring pet caretaker, I prioritize the comfort, safety, and happiness of the pets in my care. Here’s how I approach pet care: 1. Safe Environment: I ensure my home is pet-friendly, with secure yard and no hazardous materials within reach. 2. Comfortable Space: Pets have access to cozy sleeping areas, toys, and safe outdoor spaces for exercise and play. 3. Routine and Structure: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, bathroom breaks, and playtime to help pets feel secure and relaxed. 4. Social Interaction: Pets receive ample attention and interaction, whether it’s through play, cuddles, or gentle grooming.

This was the first time I left bailey with a person instead of using bet boarding facility. I am so glad there is something like rover.com. The person I chose from your list was Kate. I couldn't be more happy with the care that bailey received. daily updates with pictures showing how bailey was getting along. It gave me such relief to know that she was in good hands and that I could enjoy my Daughters wedding without worry. Kate was Steller!! Thank you!
Ryan watched our girl for 12 days while we were away. We appreciated the daily pictures he sent us and that he let us know how she was doing. Our girl must have been nervous because she had accidents while we were away, which is unlike her. She wore her reusable diapers from then on, which was less than ideal. However, given the circumstances it’s understandable, and she appeared safe, which is what mattered most to us while we were away.

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.
94% of sitters in Ivyland 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 Ivyland 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 Ivyland.
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 Ivyland 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.
