“Jeffrey was great with our dogs! He took wonderful care of them. He provided regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We would be happy to have Jeffrey watch our dogs again in the future.”
“Jennifer was everything that we needed for our puppy for long term boarding. She walked us through the process and exceeded all of our expectations. She kept is updated with daily videos and pictures of our Diana. This was our first time using this service but we feel we’ve found our go to person from here on.”
“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!!!”
“Chazz was so gracious with our schedule in dropping off and picking up our dog. He was flexible with our last minute boarding and provided many photo/video updates. Ozy had a great time with him and I’d book again!”
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“Hardy and Harmony are awesome, I’ve used them so many times now and have left reviews before but just had to throw another in here after this weekend. Was on a business trip in the Midwest and ended up getting rescheduled twice and then had my plane delayed by hours because of a crazy snowstorm and Hardy was super cool and saved me by keeping my girl a few extra hours until I could make it back. They truly go above and beyond. Wholeheartedly recommend.”
“Ari was amazing. He has such a genuine love and understanding of animals, there is an immediate connection. I know our dog is eager to go back to spend more time with this amazing person!”
“Devin was a joy to work with and I'm so thankful to have found her. She is kind, flexible, and easy-going. She was willing to take on my unpredictable dog and treated her with kindness and patience. Would definitely re-book!”
“Yulia took great care of our pup! She shared how he was doing and answered any questions I had. Our pup came home in good spirits and healthy, which has not always happened with other sitters. We would definitely use her again.”
“Thank you Joseph for taking care of Safira, she looks well , we appreciate all the photos and updates while we were away. Will be contacting you again in the future, thanks again!”
About: I’ve not only been a pet parent for many years; I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters and done pet sitting and boarding for cats and dogs. I love animals and treat every one as my own. Nicknames-Carla/Carolyn. I’m available for weekend/holiday boarding to allow pet parents the freedom to have a well deserved getaway experience when desired. Dogs/cats in my care are never left alone. Only one dog is in care at any given time unless dogs are from the same household and are friendly with each other. There will never be more than two dogs on the premises simultaneously. I’d be delighted to have your pet join our happy home and enjoy a fun mini vacation of their own. I treat each pet as if they were my own. In my pet centered home, I provide loving care and supervision at all times. I remain on the property for the duration of your pet’s stay. Dogs are always on leash when outdoors. Doors are always secured. Dogs are secured in vehicle if transported (leash with seat belt or in secured carrier. Cats are in secured carrier if transported. Since I have 2 cats, pets are compartmentalized in my home , if needed. At pet parent’s request, oral/topical medication may be given if I feel comfortable administering.
“Snickers had a GREAT time with Katie and Rooney! This was the first time we’ve left a dog with anyone other than family and Katie made it so easy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay which allowed us to be relaxed. It was also very nice to not have to bring a crate, as Katie has plenty available. Drop off and pick up were a breeze and Katie had a lot of flexibility, and was quick to respond. We are looking forward to Snickers next stay with Katie!”
“I could not ask for a better person to leave our Millie with. From the meet and greet her love of animals was apparent. She sent daily phots and video clips. I had total piece of mind while she stayed with Jennifer. I enjoyed my vacation and so did Millie!”
“I’m extremely pleased with Mariia. She is very diligent and took very good care of our dog while we were gone for almost a week. The communications was excellent!”
“Milissa was awesome with my boy. She was very communicative. I received my pictures and updates throughout his stay. I would highly recommend her. I see why she”s a star sitter.”
“Cocoa had a great time with Joe and Bonnie. Cocoa is a timid dog who gets so nervous she visibly shakes, Joe was able to calm her down in minutes. I felt comfortable leaving Cocoa with them and will use them again. They texted me daily to let me know how she was doing.”
“Danielle watched our dog for two nights and did a great job! She sent useful updates, communicated quickly and promptly, and clearly loves working with dogs. Highly recommend!”

“My 11 mo old pup is very timid and nervous around other people and dogs. She warmed up quickly to Jessica. I am so glad we found her . She so obviously loves dogs and takes an individual interest in them. Will definitely use her again !!”
“Ryan was our 1st experience using Rover, or any boarding service. We have a very large very anxious 3yr old dog, and Ryan made the experience smooth and worry free for myself & my dog. He sent great photos showing how relaxed & happy my dog was while we were away, which my whole family loved to see. Highly recommended using Ryan for any services he offers.”

Becky and Christian did a great job taking care of Freya. They sent me daily update photos and answered my texts quickly. Freya was very comfortable and relaxed when I picked her up after she stayed in their home. I will definitely have them take care of Freya again.
Gabriela is one of Barkley’s favorite sitters. She loves the whole family and gets so excited when I drop her off. It’s a great comfort when someone loves your dog as much as you do. I never worry when Barkley is there. I’ve already scheduled more time with her because of that.
Lizzy took wonderful care of my dog over a weekend at her house, and I would definitely send my pup to Lizzy’s again for a stay! My dog has anxiety and takes daily medication, and Lizzy had no issues providing her care. Lizzy was very communicative providing updates and answering questions with quick responses. My pup loved spending time in her spacious, fenced in backyard and came home very happy!
Jacqueline is the best dog sitter! She had a handful with my rescue Dude, a Shih Tzu mix. He was not medicated enough, because I did not realize that he was not quite as comfortable as he seemed at the Meet & Greet. Jacqueline called us, and we figured out a different medication schedule which did work. I recommend this sitter highly!
Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!
Barbara was great with Java Chip! She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, followed all care instructions, and made Java Chip feel right at home in a clean, safe environment. Barabara genuinely loves the dogs in her care. We'll definitely book with Barbara again!
I can't thank Lindsay enough for taking such amazing care of my 10-year-old dog, Peanut. I had a family emergency and needed to travel unexpectedly, and she accepted my last-minute request without hesitation. This was the very first time I had ever left Peanut with anyone, so I was incredibly nervous. Lindsay made the entire experience so much easier by sending me regular updates, messages, and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She and her family treated Peanut like he was one of their own. They were patient, loving, and attentive to his needs, and I could tell he was well cared for and comfortable. Knowing my senior pup was in such good hands meant the world to me during a difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. Thank you, Lindsay, for everything you did for Peanut—we are so grateful!
Katherine was an absolute life saver and caregiver to our dog, Mandy, while we were on vacation. She had recently had some swelling due to a bug bite. It was horrible timing to go on vacation, but Katherine had everything under control and made sure to let me know everyday how she was doing. She had to give her medicine multiple times per day and had no problems. I appreciated all of the daily pictures, videos and even the way they included Mandy in their 4th of July celebration. I highly recommend her. And I’m grateful to have found a dependable dog sitter for our next out of town event. Thank you again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jenkintown is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $82 per night.

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 Jenkintown 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 Jenkintown 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 Jenkintown.
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 Jenkintown 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.
