“My dogs loved staying with Juliana when I was away for over a week!! She was communicative throughout and kept me updated with photos/status updates. She is so nice and provided so much care and attention to them. I would 100% recommend using Juliana for dog care!”
“Amazing! Erin was exactly the perfect person for watching our Bella. Just like a fish to the water, Bella was made comfortable and loved. I can’t say enough about how happy we are and looking forward to the next chance to spend time at Erin’s lovely home for our sweet fur baby.”
“Luna had a great time on her overnight stay. She got playtime inside and out and plenty of attention. Emily and Christine really love dogs, and treated her so well!”
“Juliana was great. Quick to reply and easy to book. Received pictures with updates daily of Raven. Would highly recommend and will be booking again with her in the future.”
“Our puppy Jovie had a great stay with Ian. She got along well with his dog and enjoyed running around and playing in his yard, which is large and very secure. Ian was friendly and great to communicate with. He kept us informed on how Jovie was doing and sent us photos and video updates throughout the weekend. We highly recommend Ian and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Carly was amazing! She made my dog JJ and I very comfortable. She even sent us the cutest picture showing how happy JJ was with his new friends :) thank you so much, what a great experience!”
“This was my families first time using rover as my family needed urgent boarding for our babies Kayla and Khole. This was their first time being away from us and they are both very shy. Despite this Andreah A was very pleasant, responsive, understanding and she did her best to accommodate what our babies needed during their stay. I appreciated all of her wonderful pictures and updates of both of our babies during the time we were apart. I'm definitely looking forward to booking with Andreah very soon. Andreah thank you so much for the last minute booking and the wonderful care of our little Khole and Kayla.”
“Kate and her husband were great with Nutmeg. She has never been boarded with anyone other than family. Kate was very patient with her and we appreciate her kind care. Nutmeg came home very happy”
“We recently traveled for a family vacation and for the first time had to leave our boys Jasper and Pablo (cats) behind. It was a nerve racking feeling! I did some research and came across Kitty’s profile. I knew immediately that she would be a perfect fit for our boys. The communication was on point at all times. She updated us with photos of them and gave us little details of their behavior and activities. We only had to provide the food, she provided everything else. They returned home happy and so well behaved, we think she trained them because they were already good boys but came back even better. She also sent them home with a toy that Jasper loves and the cutest “catlander”. Kitty was flexible with time and availability. My only complaint is that I know that they love her more than they love us lol I’m ok with that. Kitty has loyal clients with us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“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!!”
“Michelle watched our two pups and sugar glider for about 12 days. They just had the best time! She sent us pictures and updates almost daily, for which we were super thankful! Our pups had so much fun with her pups as well. Sadie didn't want to leave Ella, her new bestie, when we came to pick them up! Her house is super clean, she treated our dogs like her own, and she was awesome to deal with overall. Highly recommend her for your creatures' care!”
About: Dogs are truly part of our family, and when your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated just like one of my own! I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. They’ll have free access to our large, fully fenced yard and can relax, nap, or hang out wherever they’re most comfortable in the house. I have two dogs —a 1 year old Golden Retriever and a 3 year old mixed breed—so your dog will have the option to have some furry company too. We’ve had dogs of many different breeds and personalities throughout our lives, and I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and reading body language to help keep everyone safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and will make sure they get the same love, attention, and care they’re used to at home. And of course, I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have 2 dogs. I work from home, so the dogs have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule so they feel right at home. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They’ll receive plenty of attention and supervision, with access to our large, fully fenced-in yard for playtime and potty breaks. Inside, they’ll have comfortable spaces to relax and nap. I will follow your dog’s usual feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible and happily send photos and updates throughout their stay.
“Yuiko is a very caring and trustworthy sitter! She does an excellent job of sending updates and it makes us feel better on vacation seeing how happy our dog is in her care!”
“Like anyone else I was a bit nervous leaving my dog at someone else's home for the first time. When I met Christine I felt very comfortable. She kept us well informed about our dog all weekend and sent us several pictures which made us feel even better. Our dog seemed to have been very happy staying there. I would definitely use Christine again and recommend her to anyone.”
“I will definitely use Alisia again to watch my sweet doggy Walter. She was communicative, friendly, and obviously very dedicated to her fur babies :) thank you for giving me peace of mind while I was away!”
“Frankie spent 9 nights boarding in Susanne's home. She communicated with me regularly with pictures to let me know how things were going. She was a wonderful caregiver/sitter for Frankie and I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
“If I could give Jessica six stars I would! She was super kind and accommodating from the very first interaction. I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to take the time to talk to me and get to know my dog. She sent many updates with pictures, which was comforting being that it was the first time my dog was away from home overnight. She answered all my questions and was easily reachable. I would highly recommend her pet sitting services.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Media is $55

Lori watched our dog, Bebe, while we were away on vacation and she did a wonderful job. Bebe can take a bit to warm up to someone new, and Lori did a great job quickly earning her trust! She lives in a quiet area with a fenced-in yard, which was perfect for allowing Bebe to relax. She also sent daily updates with great photos!
It was my first time having to leave my dog, Max, with someone he did not know, and meeting Laura before going on my trip was very helpful. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She keeps you updated and answers questions promptly. Laura sent pictures and videos to show how Max was doing, which I really appreciated. If I need a sitter again I will definitely bring Max back to Laura, and I know he'll feel comfortable, and I will feel better about leaving him.
Our 2 year old mini golden doodle, Pepper, had a lovely stay with Leah and her mini golden doodle, Ollie. Leah communicated frequently and provided great updates. We knew Pepper was doing well the whole time, and it was nice knowing Pepper had another dog to hang out with. Two walks a day and a fenced in backyard with exceptional care from Leah, and another dog was a perfect situation for our energetic pup. 11 out of 10!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Media 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 Media 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 Media.
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 Media. 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 Media 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.
