“Melissa was amazing. Jake and I received an amazingly warm welcome when dropping off. My dog has anxiety issues and Melissa and her crew were wonderful. They took Jake on walks, took him to the park and he was so happy. Truly one of the best experiences Jake and I have had. So incredibly wonderful.”
“Maria and Tony are fantastic doggy sitters! I was very nervous about leaving my 4 month old puppy for the first time. Their reassurance and calm manner put me at ease. I returned to a happy pup who is exhausted today from all the fun she had yesterday. Thank you both!”
“Val is an absolutely incredible dog sitter and we are so lucky to have found her. She is very flexible and communicative with us on dates and times. And most importantly, she is so so amazing with our dog Wilson. He is so excited to go over there every time and she sends so many pictures and videos which are our favorite part! They do so many different activities and Wilson loves her son so much! Cannot rave enough, thank you and see you soon!!”
“Cheryl was absolutely amazing with my dog! He was a little nervous at first, but she made him feel comfortable, and he ended up really enjoying his stay. Since he's an older pup, I was naturally a bit worried about leaving him, but Cheryl kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their furry family member. She's a 10 out of 10!”
“First time leaving my 8-month old puppy with a sitter, and I could tell he was in great hands with Chang! He came back happy and tired - best I could have hoped for with a high energy puppy!”
“Gregory was an awesome sitter! He was so easy to communicate with and was super laid back. He listened to my pups needs and made sure pup was happy. He has the sweetest dog (Zora) that I have ever met. I’m so glad I found Zora and Gregory. I’ve never seen my pup leave as happy as he did, this sit:)”
About: I have been dog sitting for friends for 15years. I have experience with all types of dogs from French Bulldogs to German Shepherds to King Charles Cavaliers. I treat each dog like they were my own and give them the best care possible while their owners are away. I also have experience dealing with smaller dogs that are aggressive with other dogs I work full time from home so I am able to give the dog any attention it needs and will be able to take them outside frequently. I will treat your pet like it is my own whlie they are with me. I have no issues with the dog sitting on furniture or sleeping on the bed. I will request that you provide a crate for when I have to leave the home
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Jennifer and Devin were amazing to our 2 dogs. Not only were they incredibly considerate of our request (Christmas Day!) but were so great at communicating throughout the entire visit. It wouldn’t have been a better visit. Thank you so so so much.”
“Dana was fantastic! She and her pups were great with our dog, making sure our Ziggy got plenty of playtime. Oh, and she was able take Ziggy on Thanksgiving Day, which was a huge plus. Will contact next time we're in town. Highly recommend! ”
“Adrienne is amazing! She sent us frequently updates on how Yogi was doing. Yogi got his walks, ate his food and had a lot of fun. Can’t wait to bring him back!”
About: I LOVE dogs!! Large, small, young, old, they are all special in their own way. I have two of my own, a three year old Lab/Husky mix and a six month old white Lab. I have also cared for my adult children’s dogs for years when they go away or need help. I am currently a stay at home dog mom :) with my two fur babies who I adore. A little about me, I was allergic to dogs until about five years ago when I started a new medicine that changed my life. It cleared up all my allergies and now I can’t get enough of dogs. My kids say I am making up for all the years I couldn’t be around them! My kids are now all adults and I absolutely love caring for dogs. I found it so hard to find people to take good care of mine when i go away, so I thought I would offer my services to help others. It is so frustrating being away on vacation trying to relax and have fun yet having to worry about how someone is caring for your animals. I treat all animals with love and affection, as if they were mine. A little bit about my home. I have a very comfortable home with over 3 acres for dogs to run around and play. I have a wireless fence so they are free to run as they wish. I can also put them on a leash or run, if you would prefer.I love to play fetch with them and go for walks. I also have a large crate, if wanted/needed and two large dog beds. I would love to watch your dog. Please send me a message with any questions!
“Mimo had such an amazing time with Liz and her family! Upon meeting, I immediately felt relieved leaving Mimo with her. Liz is very experienced with all types of dogs and was very attentive to Mimo when interacting with other dogs at daycare. She asked about Mimo’s quirks and dislikes upon booking which showed her understanding in the different personalities in dogs. Mimo loved them and can’t wait to see them again. Thank you Liz!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Mccandless commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 676 sitters in Mccandless, 84% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
