“We are very satisfied with taking our dog here. Michaela is always flexible and accommodating to our schedule. Nelly is happy and obviously well cared for. We get just the right amount of pictures to see her staking out her spot and making friends.”
“Kerrie, Oren & the kids are great 👍 I have a Great Dane and 1st impressions are usually "WHOA" but they were very open and welcoming. He enjoyed his stay very much and I think he's missing them a lot. I am definitely going to use Kerrie again as a sitter. Easy going and best boarder I've used in years. Thank you, Kerrie & Oren.”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
About: For house sitting a drop in care: I have taken care of friends and families dogs for arounds 3 years now. They range from 10 months old to 11 years old so, I have some senior dog care experience. They range from 10 pounds to 110 pounds. My dog requires daily pill medication distribution so, if you pet requires a daily pill, I am a veteran at administering pills. I also have oral syringe medication experience. I am a doctor as well so, if a pet requires needle medication administering, I can do that as well with instructions. If you dog requires long walks, I am the person who is up for the job. If you pet would rather sit on the couch and curl up with tv shows, I am also the person for that job! For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, 6am to 2:30pm and am available any time after that. I am willing to stay in the pet owners home and will be home everyday after work. I am available at any time during the weekend. For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! If you pet is required to go into a crate daily, I have crate experience and can safely put your pet into the crate when needed. I can walk your pet daily. If there is a feeding and/or medication schedule, I will follow the instructions given in order to ensure your pets safety and needs. I do medication distribution, litter box cleaning, walks, playing with toys and any indoor pet maintenance that you may need.
“Yianna watched our year and a half old lab, Mazzy, who still has tons of puppy energy. She was patient with Mazzy and provided us with updates and pictures. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again, we would happily choose Yianna.”
“Our dog Milo was treated like a member of the family. We were very happy boarding him with Heather. She was flexible with rimes and even was able to board him an extra due to us having travel issues. Will use her again.”
“Anton and his wife were great. They worked around our changing travel plans and took great care of our dog Roxy. They are excellent communicators and send timely updates and photos. I would highly recommend them to watch your pets!”
“Lorrie was a wonderful person to pick for my active, loud mouthed goldendoodle. She sent pictures and updates throughout our vacation and took great care of her. I was very grateful to her and will definitely try to use her again!”
“Rebecca was great with our puppy, he was rambunctious and she handled him well. Very impressed with her patience and how Duke finally let down his guard but just in time to go home.”
“Dawn was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and consistently kept me updated on Milo throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo also had a great time playing with her dog and seemed to really enjoy himself. I would definitely book with Dawn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“I really can't give a complete review because the Kayla's home is on a military base. The family met me off base. They were very nice and when I picked up my dog, she was happy and seemed fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kayla again.”
“Jessica is always fantastic with the dogs, they love her. She was also able to extend our booking last minute after a flight delay no problem which is always a relief when the unexpected happens. So grateful for her and her fiance being such great dogsitters!”
“Emily was very kind and kept me updated on my dog while he was under her care. I wasn’t very happy that the other dog she was sitting chewed up my dogs bed a bit but other than that everything was great.”
About: I'm more than just a pet sitter—I'm a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals. I currently own German Shepherds, cats, and parrots, so I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. I have experience with: Large, high-energy breeds like German Shepherds. Cats that need patience, gentle handling, and individualized care. Intelligent birds such as parrots, including providing enrichment, fresh food, and recognizing their unique behaviors. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family, focusing on safety, reliability, and keeping them happy and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply stick to a routine, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care throughout the day. I have the flexibility to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care or medications they require. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, whether they enjoy lots of activity or prefer a calm environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I'm experienced caring for large dogs, cats, and parrots, and I always treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and attention I'd give my own.
“Thank you for taking such great care of our furbabies! We appreciate the updates and pictures and knowing that they're safe so we could be away on our trip. I'm so glad that we found you and we will definitely be back! Thank you....thank you....thank you!”
About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were puppies and understand how important consistency is. I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and discovering ways to connect with them. Dog hugs are just a plus! My pet care availability will typically be before 8am and after 4:30pm during the week. I would also consider overnight bookings during the week. Weekends, I am typically available at all times day and night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I live in an area with a great walking trail and a dog park we can visit. I also have an available crate (Large) with a dog bed and plenty of dog food/treats to share.

Michaela was so kind and caring to our Ali! We needed a place at the last minute for one night while we dropped off our daughter at Bucknell, and Michaela graciously accepted. Ali had a blast in their fenced in backyard and with the other furfriends. We will definitely call on her again!

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.

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.
96% of sitters in Mandata 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 Mandata 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 Mandata.
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 Mandata. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Mandata 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.
