“Romeo had the best time! This was the first time that I have left him anywhere, so I was apprehensive. Joni was definitely the best choice. Her pups welcomed him right in and he was a part of the pack immediately. He was so well cared for and loved, and I could tell he was happy the whole time. I got sweet updates and photos, and it felt like he was part of the family. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle and Luke were amazing taking care of our Zeke. He got plenty of love and exercise while we were away. He was even a little sad about leaving. Michelle made sure we got updates and sent pictures to ease us as this was the first time leaving him that wasn’t family. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets. They won’t disappoint. Thank you Michelle and Luke!”
“Christina and Daniel are wonderful caretakers for our pup. We hate leaving him behind when traveling, but it's comforting to know he's in great hands - sometimes, our pup might be having more fun than we are!”
“Hailey was very good with our husky pup. She kept our puppy at her house for 6-days while we were on vacation. She communicated very well and sent pictures throughout our pups stay. It was nice to have a safe place for our pup to stay while we were on vacation. We will definitely being using Hailey again in the future!”
“Canela loved staying with Jessica, Ted, and their kids! We received many photo updates which we greatly appreciated. It was also great that the family was able to stay with Canela most of the time, as she is used to people being around most of the day. She came home to us happy, healthy, and worn out from all her playing during what we would call a 5 star stay!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. I’ve raised my current pup (15.5 years) since he was a tiny little 3 month old. As such, I also have experience with senior care and giving medications. I currently do not work and am home for the majority of the day. Potty breaks and meals can be as often as necessary or as needed. I can literally set my schedule around your pets. I have two fenced in yards for pottying and ample play time. The main home is one floor, stairs are not necessary for seniors. I have one senior dog who enjoys sleeping all day. I also have children to provide extra snuggles and exercise. Even our neighbors enjoy handing out treats (with your permission, of course!)
“I am so happy to find Lisa for my little dog. My ‘baby’ is old and needs medication. I knew she was safe and comfortable with Lisa. She stayed with Lisa for a week - the longest she has ever been with a ‘stranger’, and the daily photos assured me she was having fun.”
“Dana was great! I needed a sitter at the last second and she was able to watch Colbie with no problem. She sent lots of pictures of her during her stay, and treated her just like one of her own dogs. I could tell that Colbie received lots of love and attention and was very happy. She got fresh chicken mixed with her food for dinner every night, and was even allowed to bring her favorite toy home with her. I will definitely be booking with Dana again in the future!”
“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Dunkin with non family members. Adam and Debbie were fantastic. Dunkin was extremely comfortable, & we knew he was going to be more than happy. Debbie sent us photos through out our vacation & it was so comforting to see him being so relaxed. If we ever need another dog sitter in the future , they will 100000% be the first people we call!”
“Jaclyn and Ashleigh took amazing care of our Jack! I knew from the meet and greet that Jack was going to love spending time there from how he just ran around their house like he already owned it lol. After meeting them I knew Jack was going to have a blast and be safe and was one less worry I had while we were traveling. They sent us pictures and videos while we were gone showing off how great of a time he was having, and came home a very tired and happy boy!”
“Jeremy was amazing! He and his wife were so kind and thoughtful. Heinz really enjoyed his time there. They sent photos every day to include our dog in a Steelers jersey while we were at the game. Highly recommend”
“When I had to leave a special needs dog to take a quick business trip, Ashley’s skills and background really stood out. I was able to get away while knowing that my dog was safe and loved. The entire family went above and beyond to make sure that he felt that way too!”
“Deanna was great and able to work with my 60-pound deaf puppy, and Maxwell loved having fellow dog friends to spend time with. Came back absolutely tuckered out.”
“Janet was wonderful with Luna! She was caring, attentive, and made sure Luna felt comfortable and loved. The pictures she updated me with says it all. Luna looks completely at home and so happy! 🐺❤️ I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend Janet!”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Laboratory 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 Laboratory.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Laboratory 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.
