“Sangeetha is just the best! She knows dogs and is gentle, consistent and considerate of both dogs and people. She and her spouse take such great care and I never worry when my Max is staying there!”
“It was my first time having to leave my dog, Max, with someone he did not know, and meeting Laura before going on my trip was very helpful. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She keeps you updated and answers questions promptly. Laura sent pictures and videos to show how Max was doing, which I really appreciated. If I need a sitter again I will definitely bring Max back to Laura, and I know he'll feel comfortable, and I will feel better about leaving him.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“A incredible experience - thanks a lot for your services. I was being informed about the play time, food & everything was perfectly managed. Thank you Richard.”
“Carly was there for us when our other sitter backed out last minute. She very kind & patient with our Bernie. Put our minds at ease the minute you meet her. Can’t thank you enough for helping us out.”
“Michell was absolutely fabulous! I would send my dog back there in a heartbeat. She came home so happy and well fed. She clearly loves being with Michell. It’s a gift to find someone you’re comfortable leaving your dog with. Highly recommended!!”
“She took such great care of my dog! He hates to be alone and I was so grateful to have someone that he could spend the day with, and he didn't have any issues with separation anxiety. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“My dog loves it here he barely wants to leave when he is with Tamikia and her family… soo glad my dog loves his sitter it makes me know that he is in a safe and happy environment…”
“Loved her! She kept me up to date daily with a photo, video, or comments regarding my dog, Sadie. She was attentive to any concerns I had in the beginning as my dog has food allergies, and she assured me she would follow my instructions regarding her care completely. I will be using her again!”
“Marcus was great!! She gave Lola the one on one attention that she needed!! Marci is local to me and has years of experience with animals. I wouldn't hesitate to use her in the future!! Thank u again!!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for more than 45 years and I love my animals like they are my kids. That’s what you can expect from me while caring for your pets. I’ve had little dogs and big dogs, cats, fish, even horses. I especially love Great Danes and for some reason they love me. I have no fear of them and appreciate their lap dog in a big dog body personalities. My favorite thing is when I’ve just met a new Dane, within a few minutes of meeting them they are comfortable enough to start “herding” me. This is when I know I’ve gained their confidence and trust. Most of them try to sit on my lap, I always let them. ❤️? I’m currently working remotely and have flexibility with my work and schedule. I can be available on a short or advanced notice for visits in my home or yours. I have a semi fenced yard and 2 dog parks nearby. I have 2 cats. One is social and inquisitive while the other is a princess and lounges in her royalty most of the day. Your pet and I would be besties and get as much or little attention as they desire for the duration of their stay with me.
“Toni is an amazing sitter! Every step of the boarding process went smoothly—from the meet-and-greet and drop-off to communication and pick-up. My dog, Nori, had a wonderful Labor Day weekend with Toni’s lovely family and their sweet dog, Ollie. He already misses their tranquil, lush community. Highly recommended!”
“Frankie spent 9 nights boarding in Susanne's home. She communicated with me regularly with pictures to let me know how things were going. She was a wonderful caregiver/sitter for Frankie and I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lima
Lori watched our dog, Bebe, while we were away on vacation and she did a wonderful job. Bebe can take a bit to warm up to someone new, and Lori did a great job quickly earning her trust! She lives in a quiet area with a fenced-in yard, which was perfect for allowing Bebe to relax. She also sent daily updates with great photos!
As always, our Willa had another wonderful stay with Sarah and her sweet family. We genuinely love having our pup with them as it feels as if we were just dropping her off with extended family who will love on her and enjoy having her around. Thank you Sarah and fam. So blessed to have found you!
Casey was absolutely amazing with Mila while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon! 🤍 I have genuinely never felt so stress-free leaving her with someone. Casey took such perfect care of her and sent the cutest picture updates that made being away so much easier. I could tell Mila was so loved and well taken care of the entire time. I will absolutely be using Casey every time we need a sitter from now on. Couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾🤍✨

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 Lima 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 Lima.
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 Lima 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.
