“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”
“My dog, Riley, has separation anxiety and this when is the first time he was left with somebody else at their house. After 6 hours, when I came to pick him up, I have never seen him so at ease and tuckered out! I saw videos of him running with the caregiver's other dog, and he was having the time of his life! I am so extremely glad that I found Joe, and I'm going to use him in the future for sure!”
“Shannon is fabulous! So kind and gentle with my somewhat anxious little pup. A very inviting environment that works well for my Lucy, plus a fenced in yard! (I’m kind of thinking I shouldn’t leave this review. I don’t want her to be booked the next time Lucy needs to be watched…)”
“Yuhan was amazing. Her communication was awesome, she replied to all my messages so quickly. She was also very very loving to my fur baby. I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs. My best option is pet sitting. I’ve cared for many of my family pets. I love spending time with them and caring for them. I look forward to meeting many new buddies. I work at a school. I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
“We had a last-minute trip out of town and were so thankful that T. Monee was able to watch our pup for the day. This is our second time booking with her, and we’re so pleased! The pup came home tired and happy from a long day of playing 😊”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we had a great experience leaving Lily with Jeffrey. Even though she is a very anxious dog, we could tell she had a wonderful time playing with her new friends. Jeffrey is also very easy to communicate with. He also send pictures to us on how our Lily doing—highly recommended!”
“Gabriela is the best! She went over and beyond to make my son feel comfortable while he enjoyed his stay. Thank you so much for taking care my lil man. I will definitely be rebooking in the near future!”
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”
About: Retired dog groomer and life long dog owner. I was a dog walker in Center City before I started a family. I was also a dog groomer for 10 years and have plenty of experience around all kinds of pets. I currently walk a few dogs in the surrounding area and have a flexible schedule as I work from home as a real estate agent. Our dog passed away during COVID, and we are currently dog less. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding house trained, kid friendly dogs, week days and most weekends. I am also available to house sit in your home with your pet if you prefer. I can provide daily walks and/or yard play time and exercise, as well as feeding and admiring administering simple medications. In my home we have an unfenced yard, so I will walk your dog as per specific needs. We prefer pets not on furniture or bed, and would rather have owner provide something to sleep on. If not provided we do have blankets. We have 3 boys 16 and under so dogs would have to be kid friendly. Our boys love dogs and grew up with a doberman. They are respectful, calm and understanding of pet needs.
“Electric & Crescent are awesome. Odin had a great time with them and their lovely cats! The communication was great, they're easy going, they sent pictures constantly on how Odin was doing and I couldn't be happier to see him enjoy playing and cuddling with them. Odie is definitely coming back! Thank you!”

“Hardy and his daughter were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the very first moment, they made sure Ziggy felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Hardy was so communicative — he called me with updates and sent pictures throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind. What really stood out is that this was a last-minute request, and Hardy came through without hesitation. Ziggy genuinely enjoyed every moment of his stay. Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”

Kyrah was an excellent sitter! She sent pictures and kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. She was also very accommodating when I had to pick Rex up later than expected. I truly recommend her—she treated Rex like he was one of her own. I’m also so glad Rex got to have fun and spend time with her daughter. I would definitely book with Kyrah again!
Heyi was wonderful and shows a lot of understanding about how to interact with dogs. Her patience and calm demeanor made me feel comfortable leaving my dog the first time with her. Heyi met me at our local dog park before dog sitting to see if my dog would be compatible.The next day she had my dog come to her residence for a few hours. When I picked up my little pup she seemed very happy and definitely had fun playing with her dog,Poptart. I definitely will use Heyi again. 😊🐶👍
Ashley was such a great sitter. She was available on very short notice and even though it was just a six hour stay at her house she walked Grover several times and played with him a ton. I felt like Grover got 100% of Ashley's attention. She helped us out in a bind and I would absolutely use her again and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Joseph was good & patient with Shadow. He’s a high energy husky & I’m sure he can be a lot to deal with. But my boy was eager to go over Joseph’s place to play. Both days that were needed. I did not have any issues while I was away. Even sent occasional photos giving updates of my boy. Will be using his services again.
We brought Luna over for just a few hours today to help her get comfortable, and Lindsay was wonderful as always. She is so patient, kind, and understanding. Peanut was so excited to see Lindsay and her family again, which made my heart so happy because it shows how loved he feels there. I'm grateful to have found someone I can trust with my babies, and I know these visits are helping Luna adjust. Thank you for taking such great care of them!

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 Melrose Park 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.

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.
