“We could not be happier with our experience with Michael and Adelie! Olive stayed with them for 2 weeks while my husband and I were on vacation overseas. She settled in at their home quickly and became fast friends with their dog Parsley! We received daily pictures of their adventures and it was clear Olive was so happy and comfortable during her stay, which put our minds at ease. We are thrilled to have found Michael and Adelie and would not hesitate to have them look after Olive again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and truly love caring for them. I have extensive hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, including senior dogs and pets who require extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable giving medications, following detailed care routines, and caring for dogs with ongoing medical needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your pet, and I’ll care for them with the same attention and affection I give my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, medication, lots of attention, or simply keep your pet company while you’re away. I work 30-35 hours a week, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks around my work schedule, with additional availability on evenings and weekends. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their safety and comfort my priority. I’m careful to follow feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions closely and will keep you updated while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and pets that need a little extra patience or attention.
“Tim was great! Friendly demeanor and lives in a wonderful location with quick access to the SRT; our pup was very happy. He came home clean, loved, and well taken care of. We will absolutely reach out to Tim in the future!”
“The best dog sitter out there! Bobby and his partner were so intentional, communicative, and sweet towards our fur baby. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Hanna and her mom took such wonderful care of Milo, it was the first time we had boarded him and he did well. Hanna provided video and text updates on how he was doing and she was very accommodating when our return time was delayed a couple hours. I definitely would use Hanna again.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of my expirience with Mel and Shilohs stay. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I received updates and photos of my dog while I was gone and saw how much fun ahe was having. Mel was a great help and I will plan to use her in the future!”
“First time leaving Rooney with anyone- Joe was the BEST!! He provided the best care for Rooney while we were away. Such a professional and incredibly knowledgeable. We will absolutely be using him again.”
“Ciara did a nice job taking care of Chai. She sent lots of photos. Our dog gets anxious the first time in a new place so I know the first time is a bit harder, and she handled it well”
“She was very nice and helpful with my last minute reservation. My puppy was well taken care of and loved the updates with pictures/videos. Would definitely recommend her for your furry friends.”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”
“Eric and Raz are our favorite dog sitters. They clearly love and care about our dog and we always feel 100% confident that she is well cared for with them. They give her lots of cuddles and have a good sense of her needs. It’s always a pleasure.”
About: Caring for dogs isn't just a service for me—it’s personal. From 10 years of age my family and I have cared for Beagles, Pointers and Brittany Spaniels. Most recently have spent over 12 years caring for a Golden Retriever. I specialize in providing the gentle, attentive care that older dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced in working with puppies on routine and basic training. Whether your pet needs a slow-paced day with extra comfort or active puppy guidance, I treat every dog like my own with personalized attention and frequent updates. *Experienced with administering daily oral medications *Pet safety is paramount in my home or walks *Fenced yard for maximum peace of mind I retired from work 2 years ago. My routine revolves around spending plenty of time at home, which makes integrating pet care seamless and natural. Mornings begin with energetic outdoor time, feeding, and fresh water, followed by continuous monitoring and check-ins throughout the day. Because I am consistently present, I can closely follow your dog's exact routine—from midday walks and bathroom breaks to relaxing afternoons and structured evening routines. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my own home or visiting a client’s, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-proofed, and secure environment free from hazards, toxic plants, or loose items. I closely monitor pets to ensure they are comfortable, safe, and never left unattended in unsecured areas. When visiting a client's home, I strictly follow your household rules, keep doors and gates secure, and ensure doors/windows are locked during visits. I am also extremely mindful of home security, mail collection, and keeping the space clean, so you come back to a happy pet and a secure home.
“Shakira did so much more for our dogs than I ever expected. She took amazing care of them and showered them with love. Every day, she updated me with several photos and shared their daily activities. Even our dogs didn’t want to leave her when it was time to go. If I ever need someone to watch over my dogs again, I would absolutely choose Shakira. She is truly one of the most amazing sitters I’ve ever met.”
“Lincy did an amazing job watching our high-energy dog, Romeo, over the holidays! She made sure Romeo stayed active during his stay and took him on frequent trips to the dog park (his favorite!) and on long walks. We loved Lincy’s updates, videos, and photos. She was attentive to Romeo’s needs and noticed a developing rash, which she reached out to us about promptly to resolve as well. We would use Lincy as a sitter again in a heartbeat!”
“Couldn't have asked for better hosts for our senior pup. Matt and Maracris were so kind and accommodating. You can be assured that your pet is safe and well- cared for.”
“Kaylah was super positive, attentive and kind! We got timely updates with photos and knew right off the bat that our fur fam member would be well taken car of and was in great hands. Will definitely work with Kaylah again.”
“We had a great experience with Donna! She put Quimby (and me) at ease quickly, and her laid back style is a great fit for both of us. Donna sent me regular pictures throughout the visit so I knew Quimby was safe and happy. I will definitely be booking with Donna again!”

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!
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 Pet Boarding in Jenkintown is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $83 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.
There are 3,468 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Jenkintown. About 90% of Jenkintown sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
