“Kira was amazing with Charlie and agreed to a week long stay with a semi short notice. She provided updates on her own and when asked. No complaints and would use her services again!”
“Andrew took great care of Luna while I was out of town!!! I could tell Luna was having fun and was comfortable by the pictures and videos he’d send me. My mind was at ease while I was away from my fur baby which was so nice!”
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“Michael went above and beyond taking care of our dog when we were away on vacation. He got sick the night before we dropped him off. We told Michael about it when we arrived and he was more than willing to take care of him. Turns out that our dog had a what appeared to be a partial blockage. Michael without hesitation was willing to take him to our vet to be diagnosed. He then faithfully gave him his medication all while communicating everything with us. We are more than grateful. Thank you Michael!”
“Deirdre was great with Mowgli! Sent pictures and videos - also mowgli loved making new friends with her dog and other visiting dogs who were all super friendly. We would definitely use her services again if we needed!”
“This was perfect for what I needed. We had no local friends or family that could take our cat. We were going to be away but he couldn't be at the house because we were having work done on it while we were gone. They took our cat into their home. I was surprised to see they had other cats when I arrived. But one question on the survey was if your pet does well with other cats, which he does, but cats tend to not be friendly with new cats initially so I was a bit worried they'd fight, but they had a separate area, a sun room that they allowed Sox to adjust in and during the week they had sent pictures of him being inside the home on the couch so obviously it was fine. I actually never met or dealt with Sarah only her Mom. Which I felt was odd. I was expecting the person pictured, the person I paid. Her Mom was lovely and clearly there were no issues and my cat was returned safely to me, I just felt it was odd the Sarah was sleeping or "resting because she works a lot" both times I was there. I didn't take any stars off my review for that, because again the service accomplished what I needed which was my cat to be cared for outside of my home.”
“So happy I found Donna on River. She took care of my Bud-Bud over the Thanksgiving holiday. She made him feel at ease in her home and around her family. Daily pictures of him helped to ease my stress. I could tell he was very well taken care of. Worth every penny and more. She is a true dog lover.”
“We left pepino, our young high energy dog with Jaideep for a week. He did a great job taking care of pepino and keeping us updated regularly during our travels so we knew everything was going well. We would love to have Jaideep take care of pepino again in the future.”
“Laken was great for our buddy Jeb. We needed to find a short 2 day stay for our pup while stopping through Lancaster, and Laken responded promptly and was able to take our dog with only a few hours notice! Laken sent pictures throughout the visit and even helped apply ear cleaning solution due to a little flare up. Recommend Laken for anyone looking for dog coverage!”
“Alexis was very easy to work with and communicated well with us. She took great care of our dog while we were away and updated us with texts and photos. We would definitely recommend her! Her kids were an added bonus for our dog to cuddle and play with!”
“Mary’s home was PERFECT for our Stanley - there was a fenced in yard to run around and plenty of snuggles on the sofas and bed. Mary was attentive to making sure Stanley had his own space to eat meals and chew on his bones. She sent photo and video updates and was always responsive whenever I reached out to check in with her. I truly felt that Mary and her family loved Stanley as their own while he was with them! I would absolutely recommend Mary and book with her again.”
“We went on a cruise for 8 days. Our pups had a fantastic time while we were away. I loved getting videos and pictures to update me while we were gone. We’ll definitely be using Liceth again in the future.”
“Tania was amazing and my pet Daisy liked her very much . She sent daily updates and took my girl on long walks which she loves . When picking her up I saw her tail going nuts and that showed how much my pet liked her. She in fact offered her a toy that Daisy picked up when she was in her care . Thank you very much for the affection you showed towards my girl.”
About: I have taken care of family/friends' pets for more than 10 years. I have 4 fur babies of my own, so you can trust that I will treat them like they are mine. I am free in the morning for walks/visits, as well as, in the afternoon. I work from home so I don't have to drive to and from work. I have a fenced yard. I want the pet to feel at home. I have no problem with the pet sleeping on the bed or being around the house.
“Holly was amazing! This was our first time using this service and she made us feel so comfortable leaving our three pups with her. She loved them like they were her own and sent me updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely book her again. Thank you Holly!”
“Jordan's care for our 3 dogs during our 3+ weeks away was nothing short of amazing. She is warm and friendly and the pups (and I) knew immediately that they were in good hands. The large fenced in area at her home was like vacation for our guys and the photos and videos she provided were enjoyable and gave us peace of mind knowing that they were having as much fun as we were. Ours was a big ask and on fairly short notice and Jordan handled it smoothly and professionally. We fully intend to book her again (if they didn't wear her out). Outstanding service.”
“My dog Hazel absolutely ADORES Abbigail!! This was our second time boarding with her and I cannot praise her enough. She treats Hazel like she’s her own dog, shows her nothing but love and compassion- even when Hazel steals muffins!”
“Cynthia took wonderful care of my cat while I was travelling for 3 weeks! Seeing the pictures of them playing and cuddling together made me feel totally at ease. She truly treated him like a part of her family. He loved it so much I don't think he was even ready to come home at the end!”
“Megan keeps us informed about Scout’s visit by sending a short text or picture. The past visit was his first time staying overnight without us, so really appreciated those texts.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Aetna
Kira was excellent! Her house is spotlessly clean. Even though we brought our little Ricky's bed, there were multiple places for him to lay down. Even though he is a little chihuahua, he enjoyed the gentle friendship he developed with Kira's sweet larger dog. I love that Kira sent us pictures while we were away. That was very reassuring. We found Kira to be very professional, and has a warm and upbeat demeanor.
I am selfishly dreading leaving a fabulous review as Kira will be flooded with requests and I won’t be able to get Piper in! But the truth is Kira is beyond amazing. I have a very anxious dog who requires a lot of cuddling and meds and special meal preps, etc & Kira was just so accommodating and kind and caring and sent pics and videos. Her dogs were so sweet to piper and made piper feel so welcomed. I was nervous about this past week but piper seemed such a part of the family… I wasn’t sure if she wanted to come home with me! Thanks Kira! You’re the beast!!

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.
97% of sitters in Mount Aetna 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 Mount Aetna 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 Mount Aetna.
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 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 Mount Aetna 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.
