“I have a senior and a Chihuahua and I have never left them with anyone: Tony and Maria put me at ease immediately at our first meeting as they are very gentle people who clearly care. I love that they “get” Chihuahuas and that they have so much experience. Our first visit was fun for my dogs as was evident in the pictures Maria sent! I am so grateful to have found them and look forward to having them take care of my dogs when I am away.”
“Melissa and her family were so amazing with my dog, Cooper. They graciously took him last minute for 2 daycare visits and treated him just like one of their own. He got tons of outside time and snuggles and was tired out when I picked him up each time. We gradually introduced the dogs and they got along well. You can tell their house is full of love– I felt very comfortable leaving my pup there to enjoy his time.”
About: Reliable Dog Lover | Fenced Yard, Walks & Belly Rubs 🐾 As a lifelong dog lover, I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Your furry friend will enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and, of course, lots of belly rubs and cuddles. I have a secure fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your pup loves outdoor adventures, leisurely walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with a companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs and routine. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is having a great time. My goal is simple: provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your dog while you’re apart. What your dog can expect: * Secure fenced-in yard for supervised play * Daily walks and exercise * Plenty of belly rubs, cuddles, and attention * Reliable care and consistent routines * Regular photo and message updates * A safe, loving home environment I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾🐕❤️ My husband and I are home MOST days of the week, allowing for lots of snuggles and playtime. We do work in an office two days a week. Our pup has free roam of the home while we are gone (8 hours max), but we have plenty of options for gating areas off if needed that still provide a comfortable environment for your pup! At night we are happy to have your dog be wherever they are most comfortable! We have a lovingly large and friendly 10 year old lab/pit mix named Maverick and two small children (toddler and grade school). MUST do meet and greet prior to drop off to ensure it’s a good fit.
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
“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Millie stayed with Greg a few time days now. Some were full days some were half days! He was great about sending pics and taking care of Millie. They did 2 walks every time. He was very accommodating with my hours of need. I would highly recommend him.”
“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! ”
“Great experience! Christy was communicative, flexible, and I felt totally comfortable booking with her. It was easy to schedule an meet and greet before moving forward with my reservation and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Juniper had the best day with Adrienne and her pupper. I felt very secure leaving my furchild with her and appreciated all the photos and videos.”
“Liz was so great with daisy! She watched her all day for me and even took some pictures! She’s so nice and very accommodating. I’ve already booked to board my dog with her in a few weeks. Definitely recommend!!”
“Laura was wonderful with our puppy! She was super communicative and provided a clean, warm, and safe space for our dog for the day. Our young puppy was well supervised, had plenty of bathroom breaks, opportunities for rest and exercise, and lots of great enrichment thanks to Laura's unique household set-up. I feel very fortunate to have found Laura as a great option to send my dog and have already booked several more dates.”
About: I am pet CPR and first aid certified. My husband and I have a 5 year old pug. He’s super friendly and loves other dogs. No children in the home. My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day so I can provide frequent potty breaks. I can also provide daily walks or playtime either indoors or in our fenced yard. Our pug is dependent and has a special diet so we’re understanding and happy to accommodate your dog's needs. We do crate, but only when we’re away from the house, which is rare. Please message me with any questions! My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day so I can provide frequent potty breaks. I can also provide daily walks or playtime either indoors or in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard but rarely leave our dog out unattended regardless. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and a large loop ideal for walking as well as a nice walking path.

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!

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
