“Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.”
“Wendy and Dan took wonderful care of my Ivy! They kept me updated with messages and pictures while I was on my trip. They were so loving and patient with her. I will definitely have Ivy stay with them when I travel!”
“Zach had a good time while Dana took care of him. She did a great job working with his limited vision and keeping him active. She has a fenced area which was perfect for him to get outside. She kept me up to date with photos of him daily outside enjoying himself which was really appreciated.”
“Alyssa took such good care of Charlie! She provided him a safe environment where it was clear that he was very comfortable - so much so that he didn't want to leave! I am grateful for her excellent care and superb communication. Charlie is asking when he can go back!”
“We’ve never used Rover before but this was a great experience. From the meet and greet to the drop off to the pickup, it was all very professional. Felt so comfortable leaving Cali with Allan and Anne Marie. The communication was great throughout and they sent us pictures daily of how much fun Cali was having. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Kristin was amazing! Very friendly and flexible with reservations. She sent updates everyday, and some pictures to go with it. She played with my puppy (who constantly wants to play), and snuggled with my 14 year old dog who is completely blind and going deaf. We will definitely make reservations with Kristin again!”
“Kim was wonderful to work with, and was such a caring and attentive caretaker for our dog, Matcha. Her communication was great, and she was super attentive to the unique needs of our dog (and us!) throughout his stay. Her dog, Nala, is very sweet and got along so well with our dog. Her large fenced in yard is so awesome - we loved knowing that our dog was safe and secure in there, and had the ability to get lots of action while we were away. We enthusiastically recommend Kim and would love for her to take care of our dog again in the future.”
“Mariia was a wonderful sitter to my dog. She was kind and always very quick to respond to any questions I had. She truly cared for my dog and I could see in the photos she sent that my dog was happy when we were away. I will ask her to watch my dog again!”
“Andrew & Jacklynn works really well as a team. Communication and response times are impeccable. They offered a meet and greet which made the handoff for drop off really easy. Our dog looked really happy in all the photos we received. When we got home he was exhausted. Highly recommend. Will be using them again when the time comes.”
“Kathleen was wonderful with our senior pup. She is very welcoming and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She provided updates and photos. Our dog settled in quickly and felt right at home from the looks of the pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Hollie was a great caretaker for my dog, Odin. She has great communication and gave me udpates and sent me pictures constantly. Her dog Jovi is very sweet as well. Odin had a really good time there, for sure!”
About: As dog parents with experience in fostering, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, and favorite things so they feel comfortable while you’re away. We understand that every dog is different, some love playtime and long walks, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. We will follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and confident that your dog is being cared for. I work a very flexible hybrid schedule, and my husband works fully remotely, so someone is always home throughout the day. Caring for our own dogs is already part of our daily routine, and we can work together to fit in potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. We believe in providing a lot of enrichment time, and walks where the dog is the lead, allowing for plenty of sniffs. We’ll discuss your pet’s needs before booking to make sure our availability fits their routine. Whether your pet stays in our home or I visit them in yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For care in our home, we’ll discuss how your dog gets along with our dogs and arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions for feeding, leash safety, and securing your home before leaving. You’ll receive photos and updates, and your pet will get plenty of attention and care.
“Wendy was fantastic! She took Obi for long walks, and sent pictures of some quality time in the house and outside. Obi seemed well taken care of and we would happily rebook!”
“Alec and Stephanie were so great! They were prompt in responding, flexible with drop off and pick up, and sent lots of photos/updates! They are truly devoted to providing great care and loving on your pet!”
“Sheryl is incredibly kind and gentle. She’s the kind of person you can trust to take special care of your animal. My dog was returned to me calmer than he’s ever been. I count that as a miracle. Thank you so much for your excellent work and thoughtful care of our dog. We will be returning for further service. Thank you again.”
“Melissa watched my puppy on new years and did great! He was on medication for a hurt paw and she made sure he was properly taken care of. He had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend!”
“Sruthi and Abba took such wonderful care of our Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in loving hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even went the extra mile to make sure our picky little munchkin ate well, showing so much patience and genuine care. It was clear they treated Bruno like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will absolutely book with them again. We highly recommend Sruthi and Abba to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and caring home for their fur babies . Your furry family member will be in the best hands!”
“Sarah is wonderful. Koda loves it and comes home so happy and rests for his next time. Sarah is so accommodating and bruegger is a sweet playmate who share his home and keeps Koda company and entertained”

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 Mainland 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 Mainland.
<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 Mainland 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.
