“Melissa & Angel were wonderful hosts to our American Staffie, Boo Radley. They were completely chill despite Boo's high energy entrance into their home! And they kept us connected with multiple photos video's each day of Boo's stay.”
“Megan and her family were great with our 2 dogs. Both dogs are more on the nervous side and tend to be very shy and hide in new situations. Megan said she let them take their time getting to know the place and let them decide when they would be interested in being more social with the family. The girls seemed to do well and were happy and healthy when we came and got them. Also appreciated the flexibility on the drop off/pick up as we were beholden to airline schedules! Our booking was last minute, so I'm very thankful Megan was willing to take the girls and I will be booking with her again in the future.”
“We could not have been happier with the care our miniature poodle received while staying with Sharon for one week. She was an outstanding caregiver for our dog while accommodating our needs, and made the entire process stress-free. Sharon is an exceptional communicator. She gave us daily updates with messages, photos and videos so that we always knew how our dog was doing and within the first day or two we could see he was content and happy. She was astute in reading the nuances of our dog's behavior around food, treats, medication, and playing, and adjusted her responses accordingly. It was evident she treated our pet like part of her family - her nurturing, patient nature and genuine love for animals really showed. Even her family got involved, and it was comforting to know our dog was pampered by everyone. We returned home after our vacation to a happy and relaxed dog who had clearly received excellent care. We recommend Sharon without reservation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable caregiver for their dog.”
“Laura always takes the best care of our coco. We are so happy to have her as our go to dog sitter, especially when we are traveling out of town for multiple days at a time! Thanks again for your flexibility Laura!”
“Kim watched our two dogs and made our first rover experience simple. She responded to all of our questions quickly and kept us updated daily on how our pups were doing. Would recommend to anyone living in the area!”
“Tiffany was great! She had a huge backyard my doggo could run all around in. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and they clearly showed my dog enjoying herself. She was very communicative and quick to respond. Would highly recommend her and hope to book with her in the future!”
“Scott was very communicative and easy going. Benny came back happy and tired from all the exercise Scott was able to give him. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Emanuel and family are amazing! He's watched my babies 2x now, the love and care he gives our furbabies is heartwarming. Makes me feel so comfortable with leaving them for a vacation because I know they'll be in good hands. He is amazing with communicating and updating with pictures on a daily basis. I would give him 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend Emanuel! 😊”
“My dog always has a happy, fun and safe time at Jahada-Heaven’s house. She has a big heart for dogs and takes extra good care of them. I will always use her services and recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“George did such a good job watching Milo! He was attentive to him being comfortable and communicated with me multiple times a day! I could tell Milo was taken care of very well! Would use him again!!”
“Tracy was amazing taking care of Checho! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a true dog lover. She was incredibly attentive and made sure Checho felt comfortable and happy while I was away. Tracy kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. When I returned, Checho was relaxed and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“We needed a sitter on short notice and Laura helped us out of a tight situation. She is very welcoming and it is obvious that she loves animals. I feel very comfortable leaving my fur kid with a certified veterinary technician. We have another stay booked in a couple weeks. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Roberta made my pup feel right at home! My dog will often not eat in new environments until she gets settled, but she was eating right away which is a testament to how accommodating and welcoming Roberta was. She also updated me with pictures every day!”
“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“Kim agreed to watch our 1 year old Jack Russell mix rescue, who is very energetic and has only been with us for six weeks, she's a good girl though. She did an AMAZING job with Jamocha, keeping her to a schedule and getting her to eat well, exercise, rest, potty outside, and sleep at night just as well as she does at home (maybe even a little better, if I'm honest). She has tons of experience with dogs and has studied a lot, and you can really tell that she knows her stuff by what she does when she watches your dog. Jamocha had not been around other dogs and she got along well with Kim's dog, thanks to Kim's patience and training. She sent very detailed updates that were cherished by the entire family (we missed her a lot). I cannot say enough how wonderful I think Kim is as a dog sitter, based on my experience. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“This was Mack’s first boarding experience and it was a great one. He is exhausted from playing in the grass and making friends. I’m so glad he had a great time and was safe while our family went on our vacation.”
“Renata and family were very welcoming to Loki. She took the time to set up a one on one meet and greet prior to committing to boarding him. On his first day he was very shy, but quickly warmed up. We received many happy dog pictures during his stay!”
“If Joan is available, book her! Our boy immediately felt at home, and was loved and cared for so well. He was happy to see us….but was in no hurry to leave. Joan adapted everything to his needs, asked all the right questions, gave him lots of attention and kept us updated. It is hard to find the right sitter, and we will travel out of our way for Joan to sit Mac again.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jim Thorpe is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $40 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.

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 Jim Thorpe 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 Jim Thorpe 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 Jim Thorpe.
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 Jim Thorpe 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.
