“I absolutely loved Alexis (and her family!) She made me feel comfortable by leaving my 16week old puppy with them. She sent me pictures and kept in contact while I was away which made me feel at ease. I will be using her again!”
“Cindy and April hit it off immediately! So kind and attentive. She took her for many walks on the wooded trails behind their house. She sent us pictures of April enjoying her mini vacation. We definitely will use her again!”
“I have used Rover for every trip we've taken over 2 years and I am confident my Cardigan Welsh Corgi Arthur has never received better care than the care he received from Betsy and Ron. I think they might take better care of him than we do at home! My only disappointment is that I didn't immediately secure dates for another upcoming trip and they are not available. I don't think you can find someone better to take care of your pet! We got daily updates and photos that reassured us that Arthur was in great hands- he was smiling in many of the photo updates!”
“We moved to Lancaster recently and were anxious about finding a good and reliable dog sitter. We were so happy with how she cared for our dog in her home and won’t hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was extremely helpful, attentive, and reliable when we needed to board our doggie, Gastón. She was flexible in us bringing homemade food for the 4 days Gastón would be staying with her and she gave me all of his things back in pristine condition. On the evening of our pickup, our flight was delayed by close to 1 hour, which pushed back our pickup time. She was extremely understanding when we communicated this with her. We offered to pick him up the next morning, but she shared that she is fine with us picking him up late that evening, which we definitely really appreciated! Also, Gastón gets dirty faster than other breeds, but Amanda kept him clean and he came back to us in the same condition we brought him at the start of boarding. Last but not least, Amanda shared updates with us for all 4 days, sending us photos of our lovebug and letting us know how he was doing that day. It relieved a lot of anxiety for us while we were away. We are extremely grateful for all the careful attention Amanda paid to our pup and will definitely be leaving Gastón with her again!”
“Kaylee was amazing! She watched my dog Bullett for two weeks while I was on vacation, and I never had to worry once. She sent pictures and updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear she took great care of him. I'm very satisfied, highly recommend Kaylee, and will definitely book her again!”
“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.”
“Ashley, Kyle and family welcomed Teddy and us and made all of us feel comfortable. Teddy noticed us leaving but didn't fuss much as he had a couple of children to play with. It was only a two night booking, but we were happy to receive a pic of him enjoying himself on Saturday. Pickup went smooth. Teddy and all his belongings were packed and waiting for us. Ashley gave a little report of his stay, encluding his eating and potty breaks. If we are back in the Lancaster area again, we'll be looking for Ashley & Kyle on Rover. I'm sure Teddy would be happy too. Thank you!”
“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
“Had a wonderful experience using Megan and Vincent! Would highly recommend their care for overnight pet sitting. They provided great updates, got lots of outdoor time and seemed to really enjoy their stay!”
“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!”
“Sheree was amazing with our dog, Vader! She sent us beautiful pictures of him and he seemed so happy! She is warm and welcoming, and you can tell she loves on the dogs that she hosts in her homes. She was wonderful!”
“Our dog Levi loves to stay with Amy and her family! Absolutely wonderful people who truly care about the animal they are housing! Highly recommended and will be my first call anytime I need care for our sweet boy!”
“Kara watched my goldendoodle puppy for a long weekend and gave me such peace of mind that he was well taken care of. He looked so happy in all of the photos- will definitely book with her again!”
“Michelle did a fantastic job with my pup. She followed all my little tips for feeding her, went on walks, made sure my dog wasn’t anxious, and made my pup feel at home. Michelle also sent pics of my pup, was very flexible for drill-off and pick-up times, and was very communicative! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Alexis was GREAT when she boarded my dog! She made us feel really comfortable with leaving our pup there over the weekend! She was really accommodating and responsive too! I would definitely bring my dog back to stay with Alexis.”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life and view them as part of our family. For my entire life, I've had at least one dog in my home and truly could not imagine it any other way. You can be confident that when your dog is with us they will be cared for compassionately and given lots of love and attention. We truly feel our home is the dream destination for your dog - we have a big fenced in yard for them to safely play and sunbathe. We work from home so can give lots of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two dogs in our family that are the most laid back and relaxed dogs I've ever met. If your dog likes to play, they will play and if your dog likes to relax and sleep or doesn't want much interaction, they go off into their own areas to sleep. I work from home so have the ability to be present with your dogs throughout the day to make sure they are given attention and affection they need! We can easily go outside (we have a fenced in yard) for potty breaks and play at multiple points throughout the day and in the evenings we are home and enjoy being outside. We want your dog to feel at home with us! We have a fenced in yard so they can safely play outside and get exercise as needed. Our two dogs get along with all other dogs they've met - they will play sporadically throughout the day but love to lay in the sun, look out the windows and front door and be close to us while we work from home. We're confident that your dog will feel right at home with us.
“Laura and her family were so kind with my dog. I really felt like they treated my dog as their own while watching him. Laura's attention to detail and prompt replies show how much she cares for the well being of my dog.”

Bear has stayed with Jade on multiple occasions now, and Jade is truly the best! We know Bear is getting excellent care and lots of love, and that’s wonderful peace of mind to have! Jade is super easy to communicate with and sends lots of picture and videos while we’re gone. Easiest five stars ever. 😁
Our dog,Ireland got along with Karl and Kathy right from the start. When picking her up she was happy to see us but she still wanted to hang out with Karl and Kathy. In the past we kenneled Ireland and we had issues with her even wanting to be there! Such a contrast with Karl and Kathy! I would recommend them to take care of your pet!

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.
96% of sitters in Mount Joy 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 Joy 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 Joy.
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 Mount Joy. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Mount Joy 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.
