“First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !”
About: -I’ve had a cat of my own for a couple of years but have grown up around dogs - I work from home so I have a flexible schedule for walks and playtime - I love taking cute and silly photos of your furbaby I work from home full-time so I have flexibility. My typical availability is 7am-10am and 3pm-8pm during weekdays, with the ability to do shorter checkins and walks during the typical 9am-5pm. I have a senior cat that likes dogs (not so much other cats). We have grass right outside our apartment and it’s an easy walk to Clark Park.
“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! 🐾🤍✨”
About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the school system, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. In addition, I keep 2 small dogs at a time but for the bigger ones I only will sit 1 dog for safety reasons 😊. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Nicole & Alexis was absolutely wonderful with our dog! attentive, kind, and clearly experienced. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and treated our dog like her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“First time using Rover app and we truly are so thankful to Melissa B. and her whole family! From the meet and greet,to the big day (our first time having someone care for our pup), to the pick up, Melissa (+her family) were wonderful! Our pup showed comfort during the get to know you visit, Melissa was knowledgeable about dogs,asked great questions that put me at ease. During the visit she shared brief clear updates (w/pictures) that gave us peace of mind. Best of all when we picked up our pup it was clear he was well cared for not only from Melissa's report,but how his items were prepared, and his demeanor. So thankful and happy to do it again and recommend!”
“We highly recommend Chrissy! She cared for our Gracie like she was one of her own. We were away for a week and she sent pics & videos to keep us posted. I’m usually a worrier but not on this trip! Gracie was extremely happy & content!”
“Ben was so great!! Took amazing care of my baby doodle and sent multiple updates. He was always available if I had questions. He was so friendly and clearly cared for my dog as if it was his own. I will definitely use again!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and other house animals all my life. I've trained my own and have assisted friends & family with caring for theirs. I walk, talk, feed and bathe. I provide care for my own animals daily, helping to care for other animals is a natural feeling for me. I love all animals regardless.

I had a wonderful experience with Michelle F. as Sasha’s sitter. She was extremely communicative, sending regular updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. She kept her home clean and tidy, respected my schedule, and was very flexible and accommodating. Most importantly, she took great care of Sasha and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for throughout her two-day stay. I would absolutely trust Michelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter!
As an owner who truly treats my “baby” like a real baby, I was incredibly impressed with the care and attention Sherry gave my precious one. The daily pictures and videos she sent gave me tremendous peace of mind and reassurance that my baby was happy, safe, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who is genuinely caring, attentive, and will treat your precious baby as if they were her own, look no further. Sherry is the one!
I was so relieved to find Nicolette, who provided excellent care for my dog Ridley when I was abroad for ten days. She is super sweet and responsive and I felt comfortable with him in her care. Ridley seemed to get a lot of outdoor time as well as cuddles, so I think he had a great time. Would recommend her 100%!
We are so happy that we found Meredith to watch our Sweetest Girl, Mollie ( Beagle) She was with Meredith for 4 nights and did great - from the minute we met Meredith we knew Mollie was in good hands! She sent us photos and gave us updates on her. We plan on using Meredith again and again….its nice to know we have a reliable dog sitter we can count on and she’s only 5 minutes from our house.
We have been bringing our dog to Bronwen for a number of years. When we pull into Bronwen's driveway, Trixie jumps right out and runs to get into Bronwen's backyard without a backward glance. She loves going to Bronwen, and we get lots of updates. Trixie can be a picky eater, but Bronwen always gets her to eat. Trixie comes home tired and happy. Highly recommend Bronwen!
Beth was great with Maddy as always! So happy we have found someone we trust to watch our sweet girl, we know she is in good hands when she’s with Beth. This last visit was almost 2 weeks and Maddy needed daily medications for her arthritis and a UTI - Beth religiously made sure Maddy took all her meds every day.

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 .
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.

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.
