“Jennessa was so sweet and accommodating, she took fantastic care of my pup and provided daily updates about her. Highly recommend Jennessa and would definitely work with her again! Cinnamon also had a ton of fun while she was there so your pup/pet is gonna have a mini vacation while you are away!”
“Deb is a wonderful person with people and dogs. My dog Lily was a little nervous at first and she was able to help her settle in and have an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend her”
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: Animals have always been my world. As an only child, my pets were my very first best friends, teaching me early on how deep the bond between humans and animals truly is. For 35 of my 40 years, I have never been without a furry companion.Aside from being a happy wife of 25 years, my absolute biggest joy in life was raising my three daughters alongside a constant, loving flock of family pets. Now that my girls are all adults, I am dedicating my time and heart to expanding my pet care circle.Over decades of pet ownership, I have developed a deep expertise in handling a wide variety of animal personalities, ages, and medical needs. I am equally skilled at engaging in high-energy playtime with energetic pups as I am providing the patient, specialized care that senior pets and puppies require.This expertise comes from a very personal place. I am the proud pet parent of a handsome Pomchi who manages IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). Caring for his unique daily needs has given me specialized, hands-on experience in medical management, gentle handling, and strict care routines. I understand how to read an animal’s body language, adapt to different temperaments, and provide a safe, tailored environment for pets who require an extra-gentle touch.Honestly, if you ask my family, they might tell you I sometimes love pets more than humans—and they might be right! Cats and dogs offer a pure, uncomplicated love, and I mirror that right back to them. I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies with someone else. When your dogs or cats are with me, they become a true extension of our family, receiving the exact same unconditional love, professional attentiveness, and spoiling that my own pets enjoy. Because my children are grown, my days are completely open and focused on the home. I do work full-time remotely, but my job provides immense flexibility. I am not tied to a rigid desk setup; rather, my schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice to tend to animal needs, monitor playtime, or provide constant, frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my workday.My days are naturally structured around consistent, high-quality care:Morning Structure: Early morning potty breaks, fresh water refills, and structured breakfast times. This is also when I administer any morning medications or specific physical therapy routines before I log into work.Active & Attentive Afternoons: While I work, your pet is right by my side. Mid-day is reserved for tailored care. For high-energy guests, that means dedicated backyard playtime and quick brain games between my tasks. For puppies, seniors, or special-needs pets like my IVDD Pomchi, this time is focused on gentle companionship, scheduled rest, and closely supervised, frequent potty intervals.Evening Wind-Down: A reliable dinner schedule followed by relaxing, low-stress evening cuddles. I perform thorough wellness and comfort checks on all animals before bedtime.Since I manage a strict care routine for my own pup while working, I am incredibly time-disciplined. Whether your pet needs a yard break every hour, strict medication intervals, or just a constant, reassuring human presence while you are away, my remote work setup gives me the perfect flexibility to provide it. Because I work full-time remotely with excellent schedule flexibility, my care philosophy is centered on constant supervision, emotional comfort, and strict routine adherence—whether your pet is staying under my roof or I am visiting yours.Here is how I tailor my care to each environment:🏡 In My Home (Boarding & Daycare)Spacious Outdoor Areas: I am fortunate to have a large front and backyard, giving your pets plenty of secure outdoor space to sniff, stretch their legs, and burn off energy throughout the day.A Safe Environment: Inside, my home is set up to handle a variety of animal needs. Because I care for my own handsome Pomchi with IVDD, my space is highly optimized for safety, gentle movement, and comfort.Constant Companionship: Since I work from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. They will spend the day right by my side, enjoying free reign of the common areas, frequent lap snugs, or resting comfortably in a designated quiet space.Frequent Potty & Play Breaks: My flexible schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice. High-energy dogs get frequent, supervised yard play sessions, while puppies or seniors get the constant, hourly potty breaks they require.🚗 In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits)Respecting Their Safe Space: I understand that many pets (especially cats or senior dogs) feel most secure in their own environment. When I care for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their exact comfort zones, favorite sleeping spots, and hidden nooks.Flawless Routine Replication: I treat your house rules as law. I map out your exact feeding times, specific walking routes, and medication schedules. Because I am used to managing strict medical and physical routines for my own dog, you can trust that your pet's schedule will not miss a beat.Remote Work Mobility: For overnight house sitting, I bring my remote work setup with me. This means your pet still gets the benefit of a constant human presence, mid-day companionship, and frequent attention without me having to leave them alone for an 8-hour workday.Home Security & Updates: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure. You will receive consistent updates, detailed notes, and plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
About: I grew up with labs! I love taking care and spending time with them! Since moving to Lancaster a year ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a friend’s dog in my apartment. That experience made me realize that I have the capability and resources to take care of other people’s pets! I don’t see my dog Tilly as often, so I would love to put my energy into something beneficial for the both of us! I work full-time on a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. I am free most Sundays and Mondays all day. I am available to provide attention to your dog whenever it is needed. I have a smaller apartment, but it is the perfect size for one dog. I have a very neat apartment, so there is very little that your dog can get into. My apartment does not have a yard, but there in a small park down the road (very close).
“Because we do not like leaving our ten-year old pup in a kennel (crate), Rover.Com is the perfect solution. I visited Mai before the actual stay and was very pleased with the way she relates to dogs. She was friendly and gentle with our dog who tends to get somber when my husband and I leave him. To ease our anxiety, Mai sent several pictures of him during his stay. Loved that! This first time with Mai was only for a brief, 24-hour stay and I'm sure we will use her again.”
“Rose was amazing for Kimba! She took really great care of her and was very accommodating to our early and late schedule for this trip. The pictures were great too.”
“Cynthia and her Husband Lance were welcoming and willing to help us out last minute. They took really good care of of dog and made him feel like home. Would 100% recommend them! Thank you again!”
“Becky looked after our 1.5-year-old Lab, Marshall, over the holiday while we were out of town, and we can’t say enough great things about the care she provided. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Marshall was in such great hands during the holidays. We would absolutely recommend Becky to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter for their pup!”
“Another wonderful experience! I rebooked because Obi always comes home happy and well cared for, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that he is treated with lots of love and attention while he’s there. We truly appreciate how comfortable you make both him and us feel. We wouldn’t hesitate to bring him back again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“My dog, Arthur, stayed with Gwendoline for 3 nights. I'm so thankful to have found Gwendoline. Her yard is amazing, and even though our family was away, Arthur got to be a part of Gwendoline's family for a few days! Arthur loves other dogs, and he also got to play with dog friends there! My fingers are crossed that this is always an option for my dog when we're traveling or need care for him. I've used Rover many times from daycare to 10 day trips, and this was hands down the best experience I've had to date. I don't want to leave too good a review for fear availability will be impacted, but seriously 100 stars!”
“Kyle was extremely responsive, patient, and attentive with both of my dogs. He was an excellent sitter who truly cared. My dogs had a great time! I will definitely ask Kyle to watch my dogs again in the future”
“Tanya and David were the best dog sitters they treated whiskey and Tequila as their own making sure they were comfortable every minute of this day they had a very extended period of one month and they sent me pictures and videos to assure me that they were being taken care of which they were and the best method that is possible they were very well taken care of I would recommend Tanya and David a thousand times over they have a very nice backyard with tequila and whiskey were able to run and enjoy time outside I highly recommend Tonya and David for dog sitting service. 10 star service.”
“Nanci and her husband were wonderful and you can tell they truly love dogs. Molly seemed to enjoy being with them and they took her for regular walks and kept in contact with photos. We definitely plan to use them again!”

Emma was absolutely phenomenal, flexible and took the best care of my pups. They had a great time with her dogs and i could tell they had a great time. Would love for her to watch my pups again. She even made them home made goodies! And send a bunch of updates. Im grateful for her
Honey’s second stay with Chris (this time for just under a week) was just as wonderful as the first! Honey loves Chris and is best friends with his dog, Olive. Chris spends plenty of time exercising, playing with, and entertaining Honey, so I know she’s getting lots of attention and care while I’m away. He also sends tons of photos and updates throughout her stay. It’s clear how much he cares about the dogs he watches and I never have to worry when Honey is with him. I couldn’t recommend Chris more highly!
Austin was amazing! He was thorough with taking notes and understanding what my fur baby needed to stick with her routine. Communication was consistent throughout and I never had to wonder how things were going. I had confidence throughout that Roxy was in good hands. Everything went great!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
