“Andres did a fabulous job with my dogs, and they were quite happy and enjoyed their time. He has a fenced in yard where they ran and played and have a great time. I highly recommend Andres and will definitely book with him for our next vacation. Thanks, Andres!”
“Marissa was so sweet and helpful with my pups while I was away for business. I am always nervous when traveling and leaving my girls with anyone, but Marissa put my mind at ease. She sent photos to check in and let me know how they were doing, and my one one more nervous dog, Penelope, did NOT go on a hunger strike while I was away as she sometimes does--which speaks volumes about how comfortable she was while staying with her! I look forward to using her again when I travel. Thank you, Marissa!!”
“Juliana was a great sitter for my pug, Riggins! Riggins stayed multiple nights at her house and constantly gave updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. I would highly recommend and would use Juliana again!”
“Emily and Christine were great with Sherlock. They sent me photos of him playing with their dog, sleeping in their daughter’s room, going on walks, and generally having a blast. I’ve already booked them to take care of him again in a few weeks for an upcoming trip.”
“Laura was the absolute best!! I couldn’t ask for a better person and environment for my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away - I was confident that my dog was being loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“Beth is an excellent dog host! Indiana was treated like a movie star and even went with Ottis to the dog park as an outing. I was updated several times a day with photos and a video. I have been using Rover.com for quite a while. You get to know when your dog has been at ease during the stay. I can say that Indiana came home very happy and enjoyed his stay. Beth is a great sitter and I highly recommend her!!!”
“Simone was absolutely amazing and so kind. My dog was immediately drawn to her and was so happy in all the update photos she sent. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will book again in the future.”
“Harper had a great time! Lexi sent frequent updates and took great care of Harper while we were out of town. They have a great yard and home for dogs. You can tell they give lots of love to the animals.”
“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!”
“We had a family emergency and had to find care for our reactive dog on short notice. Sam worked with us and was so reassuring. He sent pics, persevered through giving her medication, and we came back to a very happy pup.”
“It was our first time leaving Creamy with non-family members over night. And we needed to leave her for 8 days! We were naturally a bit nervous, but our worries were unfounded. Kate and her husband took care of Creamy so well. Every time Kate sent us pictures and messages, we felt Creamy was getting more and more comfortable being there. We will definitely leave Creamy with Kate again for our next trip!”
“I was so relaxed with leaving Rex with Elise. Rex loved Elise with in few seconds and felt comfortable at her home. Elise was very flexible and accommodating with drop in and pick up times. Will definitely use them again!!!”
“I couldn't have chosen better sitters than Emma and Collin. It was my anxious 7 year old dog's first time being boarded. She was nervous at first,but, Emma and Collin k ew how to make her comfortable and she ended up really enjoying her stay and the other dogs. So thankful I found these two!!”
“Khai is a true cat whisperer, I'm glad I found her! I boarded my pet kitten Yuzu with Khai over Thanksgiving and was completely satisfied with the experience. Khai has a fully-equipped apartment to accommodate cats and Yuzu was visibly very comfortable, engaged and content during her stay. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, which made our time apart much more bearable. Khai is completely professional and will love your kitty like her own. I even received a parting gift when she delivered Yuzu back to me, which I felt was very thoughtful and kind. How do such nice people still exist? 100% would entrust with my cat again and I believe you will too. Thanks Khai!”
“Marci take care our Yorkie dog, Louie!!!!!!! Marci is a lovely wonderful person she take care very well Louie took him to the park , several walks, treats etc. Louie spend a week with her and love her !”

“Jordan was a life saver. At the last minute my partner had to go out of town so we needed someone to care for our 1 year old Golden doodle. She accepted our last minute need for a sitter. When we arrived my sweet girl was nervous and she wouldn’t let me leave. Jordan knew we were both little anxious since this was my first time leaving my sweet girl with a sitter. Jordan has two furry family members. My sweet girl and Jordan’s sweet girl played wonderfully. Jordan sent updates and pictures which eased my nerves of leaving my sweet girl. I will use Jordan services again. Jordan gets two thumbs up from me and 4 paws up from my sweet girl. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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 love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. Nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with a pet. If the owner can't be around once in a while there is no need for the dog to be lonely. That is why I make the perfect dog sitter, I treat each dog like my very own pet. I care for them and their individual needs the way I would hope someone would care for my dog if I weren't around. My profession includes making my own schedule which allows me the flexibility to care for pets in their owners absence. I try to keep my radius small so that I can stop by every couple of hours for a potty break and some time outside or for some snuggles. I have a dog and cat of my own and take their care very seriously. Both get an abundance of love and snuggles. Our dog goes out multiple times a day- while we don't have a fenced in yard we do have a lot of space and availability for walks at the park a block away.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Marcus Hook is $55
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marcus Hook
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%!
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.

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.
94% of sitters in Marcus Hook 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 Marcus Hook 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 Marcus Hook.
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 Marcus Hook. 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 Marcus Hook 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.
