“Chonlada and her family are the absolute best dog caretakers!! Our dog, Duddles, had such a great time with them. Not only did they send regular photo and video updates, but they had fun play-time with her, gave her lots of snuggles, and regular treat breaks. Plus, their backyard is huge, fenced-in, and gorgeous, so lots of room for outdoor playtime! We could not recommend them more!”
“This was our first booking with Olive and we were super pleased. Olive made it convenient for us to schedule a meet n greet and was very accommodating with our pickup due to a flight delay. We knew our pupster was well loved when he came home. We will certainly use Olive again!”
“Tyler was so sweet and gentle with my puppies! Our family is new to PA and didn't know who to board with until we found Tyler. Tyler was easy to communicate with, coordinated pick up/ drop off smoothly and helped load the dogs with their stuff. Deuce and Reyna did not want to eat during their stay but Tyler communicated with me regarding his own concerns in the matter, therefore showing general care for them. I received pictures and all my questions where answered promptly and appropriately. Tylers backyard and home is welcoming and very well put together/clean. Dogs returned happy and healthy :) thank you!”
“Kristin was wonderful! Our dog is a rescue and can be very nervous around new people. Kristin and her pets made Bagheera comfortable right away and I came back to a very happy, worn out doggy. Kristin also kept in touch during our trip and sent us many pictures, videos, and updates. She was also very flexible with our trip schedule and extremely friendly all around! I highly recommend Kristin!”
“Dana was fantastic with our golden retriever! So much so that our dog didn’t want to leave! Dana provided frequent updates and pictures to make us feel assured that our doggy was OK!”
“Lynda took very good care of my two dogs who can be a handful, especially one of them. She kept me informed and I could see that they were comfortable and made themselves at home by taking over the sofa as their spot.”
“Could not have been more wonderful. I had a pretty last minute boarding request for Mariia - my corgi was going to stay with a family member who turned out to not be feeling well enough to take care of him. I feel so lucky that he spent the time with Mariia. She sent updates and photos daily and he was clearly in love with her! Thank you Mariia!!”
“Ceinwen is absolutely fantastic. She and her lovely two daughters have gone above and beyond to ensure that my fur kids are safe and well cared for when I travel. I can’t give enough stars!!!”
“I contacted Wendy from out of state mid-vacation because my dog wasn’t doing well when his sitter left the house. Wendy agreed to watch our dog at her house and helped us arrange his transportation. Our anxious pup warmed up to her immediately and loved his stay at her house! He got to snuggle on the couch, roam the big yard, chase the squirrels—what else could a dog want!? Our dog came home very happy and while he was glad to see me when I picked him up, he also went to Wendy and her family for goodbye pets—a sign he enjoyed his time with them. Wendy was such a delight to work with from beginning to end. Without hesitation, she will be the first person I contact to watch our dog when we plan our next vacation.”
“Roxie had a great stay at Diego & Amelia’s house. I loved the pictures they sent each day. Reassured me she was being taken care of and having a good time with their family. I loved that they took her for long walks and tired her out. She loved having the children and other dogs around. My favorite picture was of the 3 dogs sleeping together. I will definitely leave Roxie with them again.”
“Allen and Anne were great! I set up a meet and greet a couple months prior to the booking. I was looking for a sitter who had a fenced in yard and had someone at home of the day. Allan and anne fit that criteria perfectly. They also have a medium size dog Joey who my dogs got along with. I have two dogs that they had watched. They are both about 60lbs. The dogs really seemed to enjoy their stay. Allan sent me daily pics of the dogs having a great time. He also offered to pick up more food for the dogs because I did not send enough. Highly recommend.”
“Anacelia and family took great care of our two Boston terrier girls. She provided us with updates, and gave them lots of love and attention. Thank you for taking great care of our girls!”
“Melissa is a very special pet sitter!! Our dog had a hard first couple days trying to settle in as it was only his second time in someone else’s home over night. She went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. I received lots of pictures of Winston doing his favorite things! I know that he was well taken care of with Melissa!”
“Mikaila was a great dog sitter for our Riley! She was very communicative with messages and picture updates and provided a loving environment for Riley while we were traveling. We felt very comfortable and knew our dog was in great hands! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Heather was great! I felt at ease with her watching my pup for the weekend. She kept in touch and gave me updates often. She really took good care of Bella. I would definitely book with Heather again.”
“Maranda was really great at taking care of Brazuca, our English Buldog, for 11 days. When I picked Brazuca up at her house he was very happy and healthy. We will absolutely be leaving our dog with her again in the future. I would highly recommend her services. We were very satisfied.”
“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
“Hiring Dana to dogsit Buster was the best decision. We usually board him at the vet, but wanted a change so that he would have a more social, active and fun experience. Dana was thoughtful, caring, communicative and flexible throughout the entire process (from booking to pickup). She took excellent care of Buster with specific attention to our requests. She sent us many wonderful photos of his daily activities, which included several nature and park walks. Buster had his own little vacation exploring new places while we enjoyed ours in complete peace of mind. We happily give Dana the highest praise and rating with respect to our experience with her. She is a true animal lover and a nice person.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,350 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mainland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% of sitters in Mainland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, we recommend 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mainland. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
