“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”

“Adisyn took care of our 48 pound hound mix for a week while my family was on vacation, and we felt really good about it the whole time. Our dog took to her right away during our meet-and-greet, Adisyn seems very sweet and to really enjoy dogs. She has a lovely fenced in backyard for her dog and ours to run around in, which was a big plus for us. It feels good to have a future pup sitter we trust!”

About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.

She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and went out of her way to coordinate a pick up time when we left some of Lilah's stuff behind.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from walking and feeding to overnight stays. I often pet-sit for friends when they travel, and I've also rescued and nursed several stray dogs back to health. Every dog I care for is treated with the same love and attention as my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I'm able to walk, feed, and spend time with dogs throughout the day, not just during set hours. Weekends and evenings are open for boarding as well. I provide a calm, clean, and secure indoor environment for boarding dogs. Each dog gets a comfortable resting area, and I take them out for regular walks and bathroom breaks. Safety is always my top priority. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unfamiliar or hazardous situations.

About: I’m from LA, where I worked for a dog hiking service where we started each morning with a group hike, came back home for daycare, and boarded dogs overnight. I love all dogs, big + small, and know how important it is for them not just to be well taken care of, but happy! Now it’s just me and my dog (Micho) in Pittsburgh exploring the trails around the city, and we would love to bring your pup along! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule + take multiple walks a day, short hikes a couple times a week, and longer day trips on the weekends. Because I only take one dog at a time, my time will be completely devoted to your dog for one-on-one play, walks, snuggling, and everything in between.

“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog Penny received! From the moment we met Valerie, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes her job seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure Penny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Not only did she provide plenty of walks and exercise, but she also incorporated fun enrichment activities that kept Penny's mind stimulated and tail wagging. We loved getting regular updates and photos (even videos!) of all their adventures together. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Penny was in such loving hands, especially since this was the first time Penny stayed with Valerie. She treats every dog like her own, with so much patience, affection, and attention to detail. We came home to a happy pup who clearly had an amazing time. We can’t recommend Valerie highly enough and have already booked her again for two more stays! She is the best!”

About: Ive been around dogs and caring for them my entire life so taking care of a dog is something I truly enjoy! I’ve spent a lot of time training and working with my own dogs including teaching basic commands and reinforcing good behavior. I’m patient, attentive. So whether your pup needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for! Im currently in college and work a few days out of the week but I am usually free after 2pm and and available any time on weekends! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a safe and walkable neighborhood. I always make sure pets are comfortable and supervised, and I follow each pet parents instructions closely regarding routines, walks, feedings, and more. I want every dog to feel safe and at home!

Kept us up to date daily with summer by sending pictures took her on field trips to her families farm. Noelle knew she was deaf and took that into consideration when she got summer and before taking her out. Summer is happy to be home lol but for sure will miss Noelle and her field trips as we will miss the pictures of summer on our phones. However, Summer is happy to see us now that we are home. Thank you Noelle.

Elizabeth has been watching our dog Lilah from when she was a small annoying puppy, to now as a grown up and less annoying dog. Elizabeth is very patient with her, and does a good job of positively redirecting Lilah's endless energy. We can tell that Lilah loves staying with Elizabeth and her dog, Sonder -she jumps out of the car with excitement every time she sees Elizabeth approaching.

Peace of mind is what you want for your fur baby when you are away and they did that! I didn't know if Ruby wanted to leave she was having such a nice time! We are so happy we found this gem of a Rover sitter and can't wait to book 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 Lawrenceville 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 Lawrenceville.

<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 Lawrenceville 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.
