“Silvia & Roberto were FABULOUS & I can’t recommend them highly enough - we will DEFINITELY book with them in the future! They provided pictures of our dog and updates - just couldn’t be better! Thank you for taking care of our fur baby Sophie!”
“Candace is amazing at giving updates of my baby and making sure he is comfortable. Being a last minute booking, Candace still took my baby in and she’s very reliable. I will continue booking with her.”
“Lisa was wonderful with our dog, Hunter! She took him on a nice walk and sent us photo check-ins, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s great, and we definitely plan to book with her again!”
“Keisha was very kind and loving towards CJ. Her kids loved CJ and was very attentive towards him. She kept him on his diet and he has no stomach issues. Thank you Keisha for being so kind and loving.”
“Theresa and Joseph took great care of my 3 dogs. They made sure to send updates and photos throughout the stay and were very patient with my dogs, especially my anxious one. Would definitely recommend.”
“Judy was wonderful with my 16 year old lab! She has a great set up for all dogs, but especially for older dogs. Her care area in her home is clean and welcoming. She even made doggie cookies for my girl Leah! I was having surgery and felt totally comfortable leaving Leah with her. I could definitely tell that Leah enjoyed her time with Judy and her family! I would highly recommend her services!”
“Lonnie was able to take my request with only a few days notice, he really helped me out there. Great yard with plenty room to run and his dogs got along great with mine. Plenty of pictures and videos updating me throughout the day. Definitely will come back”
“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.”
“This was my first time using the app and Jordan made it seamless! She communicated timely and made me feel at ease leaving my baby with her for 5 days. I got pictures and updates throughout my trip and I loved that she was willing to come over and meet us prior to booking. Highly recommended!”
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
“Kathy was AMAZING! Khai felt right at home and so comfortable with her. We got daily updates, we’re so happy we found her, we felt very at ease with Kathy’s care, she was very loving and caring for Khai. Will definitely book again with her 😁”
“Lora was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs while I was away on vacation for a week! She gave them so much love and attention, and I could tell they felt right at home with her. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. Both pups came back relaxed, healthy, and clearly spoiled with affection. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring—we will definitely be booking with Lora again!”
“Heather was awesome. I was worried about Nova because I had no idea how she would respond to being put in doggy care while I was away on business to California as this was her first time and I worried about her size. She did great, Heather was wonderful. When the meet and greet went well, I was relieved. They took to eachother immediately. She, her husband and daughter made her feel like she was with family and let her be... I think she misses Heather and the goats and other diversifications she had on the farm. I will definitely be using her again, and this time Nova's sister Nala will be with her...”

Chelsea was phenomenal - highly recommend! We needed a sitter for Niko and Spiro for two nights over Thanksgiving holiday , and Chelsea could not have been more accommodating. As others have mentioned, she sends pictures and text updates to help put us at ease, as we are not used to being away from our boys overnight. She even spoiled the boys with turkey and turkey bone broth (with our permission of course!) as a thanksgiving day treat! The boys returned home happy and tired out from all the fun. Thank you so much Chelsea and family!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jefferson is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $66 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.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Jefferson 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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson.
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 Jefferson. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Jefferson 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.
