“Jeaninne did a fantastic job watching over my little girl! She was very attentive to my dogs age and her anxiousness and fragility. My dog was so comfortable at her home that it took her a while to notice I had even walked in to pick her up. My dog recognizes Jeannines home as a safe space for her and it makes me glad to say that we will be rebooking in the future. Highly recommend! Also a plus with all the pictures and updates!”
“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!”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
About: I've loved and cared for cats since I was 11, and my experience includes caring for cats with chronic and terminal illnesses. I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and medical needs. I've also fostered and boarded cats and dogs of all ages, giving me experience helping animals feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I'm comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications, and I understand the importance of following care instructions closely. Whether your pet is a playful kitten, a senior companion, or an animal who needs extra medical attention, I'll approach their care with compassion, respect, and the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is my full time occupation. I have nothing but time and love for your furry friends, and I will happily treat them as my own. I tailor my care to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize a safe, calm environment, consistent routines, plenty of affection, and attentive supervision. I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and household routines, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, dog walks, and companionship for pets of different ages and activity levels. If it's a 2 mile walk through Schenley Park, a short jaunt around a familiar fire hydrant, or a quick trip from bed to the couch — I'm here for it all! I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with chronic or terminal illnesses, as well as administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications when prescribed. Having fostered cats and dogs of various ages, I'm comfortable helping animals settle into unfamiliar environments at their own pace. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide thoughtful, reliable care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease while they're apart.
About: Hi there! I absolutely love dogs and have been around them my entire life—from family dogs and friends’ pups to volunteering at local shelters. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, so dog walking and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to get my puppy fix! I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles. 🐾 I currently work from home and live an active lifestyle, so I love getting outside for a long afternoon walk. I would absolutely love to have your pup join me! Whether they need a quick walk or some extra exercise and attention during the day, I’d be happy to give them plenty of love and company while you’re away. I currently don’t offer boarding or daycare in my own home. I prefer to take the time to get to know each dog and their demeanor first so I can make sure they feel comfortable and safe in my care. When caring for your pup in your home, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I’ll keep them active with long walks, play with them, and give them plenty of love, attention, and comfort while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.
“Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”
“Nicole did such a wonderful job with our dog, Ames! We got lots of photos updates, and he lived a life of luxury at her home with lots of cuddles and outdoor time! We will definitely be booking with Nicole again!”
“Another great stay for my pup with Amber and her family. My pup was able to socialize with other dogs and the children, which makes her so happy. I always feel so much better knowing my pup can stay here.”
“Gary and his partner were amazing! Great communication and updates. And my dog was so happy when I picked him up! They will be our new regular sitters. Highly recommend.”
“Took extremely good care of our Ava! Our dog is special needs and Lauren and her husband did such a great job with her. We explained her issues and they made sure to take care of them. I could tell Ava took a liking to them immediately. She sent pictures and kept us updated. We’re definitely using her again when we can!”
“Loved getting pictures of our dog through the week, and were confident that she was being well cared for and well loved! Will definitely book again. Thanks, Cassandra!”
“Alexis and Kevin are wonderful!! They are so kind, flexible, and understanding. Olly absolutely loves spending time with Icy, Boi, and Bean! Alexis sends lots of pictures when we are away on vacation. Olly is looking forward to the next time he gets to stay with them! Thanks Alexis& Kevin :-)”
“Nala had an absolute blast with Layla! She took great care of my baby and she had such a fun time playing with her dog, Layla. Not only did Nala have an excellent sitter but she had a wonderful playmate to enjoy her time with”
About: I have volunteered at the humane society as a dog care giver/walker for 10 years so I have experience with all types of sizes and personalities I work from home and have a flexible schedule I can attend to your fur baby’s needs while you are busy working to put your mind at ease! I will treat them like my own I know how much we all care for our pets so I take this role very seriously and will attend to them as I would my own
About: I have taken care of neighborhood dogs since I was 10 years old. I have done walks as well as overnight sitting. I have two childhood dogs that live with my parents. One maltipoo and one medium golden doodle!! Please note I can NOT pick up or drop off unless you are willing to compensate for the Ubers. I am a five minute walk to campus and have frequent breaks throughout my day to come back home to care for your furry friend! I also have a roommate who has an opposite schedule so chances are someone will be home with your fur baby most of the time! The longest we would be away is about three hours. There is a large grassy field behind the apartment complex where I can take them on walks, potty breaks, and play fetch! I do not have any other animals in the apartment.
“We are so thankful for Shelly’s help this weekend! She was communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off times. She gave our dog all the exercise and love he needs while we were away! Poe was in great hands with Shelly and we look forward to using her as our dog sitter in the future. ☺️”
“Thank you so much Natalie for taking care of my sweet shy girl! My pup came back happy and clearly had a great time playing with Fitz! Natalie looked after my yorkie for 4 days and like all dog mamas I always worry about her, but she settled in immediately, took over all the softest places and was spoiled like she was at home. Would happily rebook :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
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!
There really are not words to describe how well Song took care of our dog. She was very responsive, kept us up to date and the major thing was that she gave our dog love just as she would her own. Every picture and video we received showed that our Suggie was very happy. She was taken on walks, to the park and played with often. We would recommend Song to anyone. She was awesome!
This was our first time using Rover and Kyle was amazing. Having had our rescue dog for just 3 months, I wasn’t sure how the overnight boarding would go. He gave our Bugsy all the attention he needed to feel secure. He even sent pictures capturing Bugsy’s sleepover fun! I would definitely recommend him.

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.
