“Our 14 year old dog came home with more energy than when we dropped him off. Silvia & Roberto are very nice and cared for Hunter very well. Would definitely use them again.”
“I was very happy with the care our dog received while with Svitlana. I received pictures and updates. He was so happy when I arrived to pick him up. It almost appeared as though he didn’t want to leave. I will be booking with her again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“We were so blessed to have found Judy and her family. This was our fur babies first sleep away from home. I was worried about the dogs and being overly anxious and possibly being too much for someone to watch. But, we did a meet and greet and we were all welcomed with open arms, smiles and genuine kindness. The day of drop off was smooth and communication throughout the dog’s stay was great. We were sent pictures often and given updates. I feel so much better about making future plans, knowing we have Judy and her family to care for our babies. Kevin & Dixie look forward to future sleepovers with their new best friends.”
“This was our first time using Rover service ever. So still very new to the experience. It seems like everything went well and we are glad Jenny took good care of our dog 🐶”
“Lonnie was fantastic with our dog and very accommodating. He has a great yard for dogs to run and play with them and you can certainly help loves having them around. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
“Krista is excellent. She was so sweet in taking care of my dog, who immediately took a liking to her and trusted her. He is usually timid with new people, but Krista was able to build trust with him immediately. She sent us updates and photos all throughout his time with her. 5/5!”
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years and love all animals! I have a perfect setup for animal care, including a walking trail behind my house. I’m home during the week-I have 2 middle school aged boys that are in school and my husband works long hours. I am able to get up early for morning walks or feedings. I have a fenced in yard, with stairs leading to a deck, walk out basement with kitchenette for food storage, play area, and a resting bedroom.
“Titan really enjoyed his stay! Being a pet mother I hesitated leaving my baby with anyone but sewing how much he was taken care of in must say I was impressed. We will definitely return.”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care that Heather gave to our 1 year old golden (Cobain) over Easter break!! He really enjoyed his stay with her, the walks to the pond and the creek, playing with her daughter and their farm dog, Charles! We loved getting lots of updates and pictures ❤️ We will definitely be booking with Heather again!”
“Sowmya was absolutely wonderful with our dog. He shared regular updates and photos that made us feel like he was in the best hands. Our dog came home happy, calm, and clear. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Chloe was a great sitter for our pup! She made sure Roo felt comfortable when first arriving and sent us updates, pictures, and videos throughout the weekend which made us feel super comfortable knowing that Roo was having such a great time.”
“Over all satisfied Im looking forward to booking again next month. He appears just fine coming back home he kept me up to date with pictures of him in his care. I was very nervous about using this service for first time but my dog came back unharmed. So I’m at comfort with that. Now it took some reminder to start getting an update about my doggy in that maybe due to dog sitter being busy.”
“Highly recommend- they updated us often with pictures of our pups, they have a nice outside area for the dogs to run around in. They were very flexible when our return flight got cancelled and we had to adjust our travel plans.”
“Cindy and her husband are very welcoming and warm, their property is perfect for dogs! Cindy stayed in touch the entire time we were away, keeping us up to date on how the days went, which was so sweet and reinsured us that our puppy is well taken care of and happy.”

Kyla and Cody did a PHENOMENAL JOB taking care of our pup!! They sent updates, pictures and videos without me having to ask ! My dog Capone and their dog Bishop got along so well and played hard!! I DEFINITELY HIGHLY recommend them!! They are AWESOME!! They both made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease about taking care of our pup!!! 50/10!!!
Our pups are two years old and this was the first time for boarding or being away from home. They are our children and so we are picky about who we trust to leave them with. Her veterinary degree and willingness to do a "meet and greet" first, put us at ease. She sent photos and updates everyday and kept in contact. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end and we will definitely use Silvia and Roberto in the future!

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.
95% of sitters in McSherrystown 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 McSherrystown 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 McSherrystown.
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 McSherrystown. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 McSherrystown 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.
