“Our dog Levi loves to stay with Amy and her family! Absolutely wonderful people who truly care about the animal they are housing! Highly recommended and will be my first call anytime I need care for our sweet boy!”

“Lisa was wonderful. Our Aussie did great at her home with other dogs, he was well cared for. Lisa is very sweet and you can tell she really cares and loves dogs. I would book again.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our Golden Doodle! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Lauren was incredibly attentive, providing regular updates and pictures that put our minds at ease. Our pup came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Chelsea. She took such good care of our dog Charlie while we were on a weeks vacation. So happy that Charlie did well and was happy!! Definitely recommend Chelsea to take care of your pet!!”

“Katlyn was great! Kept us updated on our dog, sent pictures, and gifted him the only toy he couldn’t stop playing with! Katlyn was able to take him last minute and a day earlier to make our trip easier! Very professional and personable as well! Looking forward to booking with her in the future as well!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and not one needed a leash. Always gave my dogs plenty of excerise and lots of love and kisses I am currently working full time, so for now I can only be available Thurs, Sat, and Sun. I will be continuing into retirement full time I have a fenced in yard. When sitting at your place or mine i will give your dog plenty of excerise. Love to hike dogs
“Cassidy and Cody are always great with Stella, and she loves being able to play with their girls and dogs. We always get her back worn out and happy! Would book again!”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! Jester had the best time with her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and messages, which I truly appreciated. It was so comforting to see how happy and well cared for my baby was. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again very soon. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”

“We recently had to board our dog, Coco, with Joyce on very short notice due to a family emergency. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible care and support during this difficult time. From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she was in good hands. Joyce was attentive, kind, and made sure Coco felt comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate the extra effort Joyce put into making our pup feel at home. We’ll definitely be returning for future boarding needs. Thank you, Joyce, for being such a wonderful host!”

“Awesome dog sitter with no problems noted. Able to take dog last minute due to change changes of plans with no prior bookings with the sitter. Send pictures during time and Kygo really enjoyed his time there I think he can’t talk.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better person, or a better family to watch Stella while we were away for 11 days. When we go away again, I am 1,000% using Alexis and her family again!!! She gave daily updates, and most importantly I could tell Stella was very happy!!! More than pleased with the entire dog sitting/boarding process. Thank you to Rover, and GIANT thank you to Alexis and her family!!!! 🙏”

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I’ve regularly looked after my relatives’ dogs, including a Bulldog and a hound breed. I live in a spacious single-family home with plenty of indoor space where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I always strive to make them feel relaxed and at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’m available for boarding and pet care Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, providing regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I always follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. I live in a spacious single-family home with plenty of room for pets to relax and play indoors. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and carefully supervise pets during their stay. Although my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide regular updates with photos, and treat them like part of my family.
“We booked Kyla and Cody not just for boarding our pup, but for drop-in visits with our other critters. Kyla and Cody were fantastic! We had some unique instructions, and nothing fazed them. They were great about providing updates and photos, asked questions when appropriate, and overall just gave us a sense of relief that our babies would be in good hands so that we could truly relax while we were away from home. Plus our pup found a great new friend in their dog while in their home.”


About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner who recently said goodbye to my beloved dog after 16.5 wonderful years. While my family is not quite ready to make the commitment to another dog of our own, I truly miss having a pup around—and I would love to spoil yours while you’re away! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I only host one dog at a time, and I'm specifically looking for small, friendly dogs (30 lbs or less) who are comfortable in a family home. My 9-year-old son is also a huge dog lover and is very excited to have a furry friend around the house again! He’ll be part of the fun—playing, giving belly rubs, and enjoying plenty of cuddle time—so I'm looking for dogs who are comfortable and happy around children. My home is calm, cozy, and dog-friendly, with plenty of opportunities for cuddles, playtime, and attention. Because I'm selective about the dogs I will host, my goal is for your pup to feel like they’re staying with family—not being boarded at a kennel. I'm happy to care for dogs of all ages who enjoy a quiet, loving home environment. A meet-and-greet before every stay helps make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! I work from home full-time, so I’m able to be home with your dog throughout most of the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm also home a lot on weekends and enjoy having a dog join me for family activities. I do have the occasional sports game, outing, or event, but these are generally during the daytime and I'm never away for more than about 8 hours at a time. Your pup will be welcome to settle into the normal family routine—whether that means following me around while I work, curling up nearby for a nap, playing with my son after school, or getting lots of cuddles on the couch. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only host one dog at a time, so your pup will have my full attention and won’t have to share the house with other visiting dogs. My home is a single-level home with no stairs, making it easy for dogs of all ages to get around comfortably. I do not have a fenced-in yard, so dogs are always supervised and kept securely on a leash or harness whenever they’re outside. Inside, your dog is welcome to make themselves at home! I am a true dog lover, so cuddling on the couch, curling up next to me while I work, and even sleeping in bed are all perfectly fine. I want your pup to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re here. I'll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other care instructions you provide. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. Before every stay, we’ll have a meet-and-greet to make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit for each other.

“It was the first time we leave our dog here in the Usa...and we couldn't choose better!! Vicky and all her family were amazing with Hope...she sent us a lot of photos and video...and kept us updated with everything they did during the day...so we could enjoy our trip at best!!”

“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“The girls had a fantastic time staying with Chris! My high energy pups were well taken care of and had their needs met! Came home all tuckered out from their fun weekend.”

“Bristoe had a ball! Thank you for having him! I loved the texts throughout my stay away from my boy. Theresa was very accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks again!! We look forward to future stays.”

Pam is the best with our senior dog. Our dog Kennedy is mostly husky and can be quite stubborn at times. Pam is patient and kind to her. Pam is our go-to sitter because we know that any time we travel, Kennedy will have a great time and will come back happy and still on her routines!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jacobus is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $37 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 877 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jacobus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Jacobus 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 Jacobus 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 Jacobus.
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 Jacobus 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.
