“I'm so grateful for finding Wade, as Brooks was so comfortable with him. Wade was very good with Brooks, taking him for long walks, playing ball-even when it was raining. Brooks was so tired when we picked him up! Highly recommend and we will use Wade again if ever in the area again! Thank you!!”
“This was the first time our dog Ollie stayed away from us. We had to fly to the West Coast for our daughter‘s wedding and had a very busy schedule leading up to the wedding itself. From the get-go, Melissa was very accommodating, loving, and patient with Ollie. She sent many pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated and communicated frequently with us. Our Dog ended up with stress colitis and she took such good care of him. It caused a lot more work for her, but she continued to care for Ollie as if he were her own. Melissa is very passionate about caring for animals and it shows through the love that she gives. She went above and beyond to make sure Ollie was comfortable and he truly enjoyed his stay with her. I have no hesitations recommending her and look forward to booking again. Thank you, Melissa, you’re the best.”
“Friendly, easygoing and conscientious. Heather and family graciously accommodated my last minute request. Set up a meet and greet to make sure Oakley would be a safe, comfortable fit for Heather and her family and pets but for Oakley's safety as well. Got pics sent daily which I appreciated. Would happily recommend.”
“Excellent experience! Boarded a 5 year old Siberian Husky for 9 days and the service was flawless. Lindsay has the family atmosphere and accommodations to support any and all breeds! We will definitely use Lindsay in the future. A kennel is a prison(23 to 1 lockdown); give your baby to Lindsay!”
“Beatriz & Hayden are fantastic and helped us feel totally at ease when we had to leave our boy, Frank, behind while we were away. In a perfect world we'd always be able to take him with us but we're so lucky to have found such wonderful caregivers in Beatriz and Hayden. When he is with them we know he is in capable hands. We also greatly appreciated the updates and videos.”
“Frodo spend Christmas time with Amanda and he came back so happy, he met new friends. Amanda took care of him like Frodo was his own dog. We could spend our time with or families because we knew that Frodo was more than fine...he was doing great!! Thanks, Amanda!”
“The best! If your pet is lucky enough to have Marcy, then you and your pet are in for a tweet. Stella had plenty of walks, love and attention. Marcy went out of her way to come to our house to meet Stella and ourselves prior to taking Stella in. I dropped Stella off at her lovely home with plenty of space for Stella. Marcy returned Stella to our home, so that we didn’t have to go out after my surgery. It was the perfect match. I hope Stella is lucky enough to go and stay with Marcy again.”
“Meghan and her kiddos and the freedom to roam in fenced area were just what Beans needed🐶🤎 Meghan checked in with us throughout each day with pictures of him playing and smiling😊 We are thankful to have found them and know where Beans will be when we are away🐾”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Melcroft. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Melcroft 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 Melcroft 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 Melcroft.
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.
You and your Melcroft 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.
