“Janette and her family were so wonderful watching our new puppy Simon! She proactively sent updates and Simon was treated like a member of the family. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”
“Jean has been so patient and very wonderful with our Mila, and we couldn't be happier! Mila is a very shy dog but Jean was willing to work with her (and us) to make sure she was comfortable staying away from us for a week-long vacation. She sent us daily updates to let us know that Mila was getting along well and actually enjoying herself! At the end of the week, Jean also let me know how things went over all. I am so happy we found her! You can tell that she (and her family) truly care for the dogs they look after and spoil them with love while their owners are away. Mila is currently passed out next to me on the couch - now that's one happy, well-loved pup! We will absolutely utilize Jean's services in the future!”
“Julie and Caleb were absolutely amazing with our two boxers, Laila and Apollo! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they kept us updated daily and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Laila and Apollo had the best time playing with their kids and running around their large property. It was clear they were treated like part of the family. Every photo showed two very happy pups! They came home tired from all the fun and full of love. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would trust Julie and Caleb again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“We entrusted our beloved dog, Gus, to Sarah for the weekend, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for him. Sarah and her family welcomed Gus into their home with open arms, providing a loving and warm environment. It was evident that they treated him as one of their own, attending to all his needs with great care. The affection and attention they showered on Gus were beyond what we could have hoped for. By the end of the weekend, it was clear Gus had thoroughly enjoyed his stay; he was almost reluctant to leave such a wonderful company. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah's services to anyone who wants their pet to have a delightful and caring home away from home.”
“Alexa was amazing! She came in so clutch when we were in a pinch and now I will definitely be using her again. She sent frequent updates and pictures which helps ease my mind knowing he was having fun and well taken care of :)”
“Sheryl is incredibly kind and gentle. She’s the kind of person you can trust to take special care of your animal. My dog was returned to me calmer than he’s ever been. I count that as a miracle. Thank you so much for your excellent work and thoughtful care of our dog. We will be returning for further service. Thank you again.”
“Tiffany was great with our two dogs. This was the first time I have used Rover, and was a little nervous as one of our dogs is a rescue dog and gets scared easily. Tiffany communicated timely and sent photos of how they were doing. She is an excellent dog sitter and will use her again!”
“Boddie loved playing with Amanda's dogs. He loved her fenced in backyard to run, run, run to burn off his energy. I appreciated Amanda giving me updates on how Boddie was doing. Especially after his first night. I was pleased to hear he was quiet through the night and the great communication she provided in light of drop off and pickup. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Poncho stayed with Chonlada for a week while we were on vacation and we could not take him with us. She was very flexible and agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Poncho and her dog Tokie were similar in size, age, and activity level so they seemed to get along great. She has a large fenced property for the dogs to explore and run around. I got daily updates as well as pictures and videos of Poncho, which made my family and I feel better about leaving him. Chonlada and her family took great care of Poncho (spoiled him...lol) and made sure he ate his meals and slept comfortably. They also comforted him during a thunder storm, which he does not like. Chonlada even contacted me when she noticed that Poncho was licking his paws and had a small abrasion, which she treated and monitored. Thanks so much to Chonlada and her family and I would definitely recommend her for boarding and will use again when needed.”
“Carole was amazing to work with! She responded promptly to messages and provided our dogs wonderful care as if they were her own. This was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we found her. Mei Mei and Georgia loved their stay at Carole’s place and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Melissa watched my puppy on new years and did great! He was on medication for a hurt paw and she made sure he was properly taken care of. He had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend!”
About: My husband and absolutely love dogs. We have a loving spacious home for him to run around in. I am always watching my parents or siblings dog and it’s always a blast to do so! My husband and I both work from home, so we’re able to spend a lot of time with our dog throughout the day. We take him on walks totaling at least 2 miles every day and love getting outside with him whenever we can. We also make sure he gets plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise, and we enjoy taking him along with us on walks, errands, and adventures whenever possible. We have a large dog who has his own bedroom with a full-size bed, which he absolutely loves! We also have two dog beds downstairs so he has plenty of comfortable places to relax throughout the house. Our back porch has a long leash where he can safely spend some time outside and enjoy the fresh air. He is no in the crate, but we do have a large crate in the basement available if needed.
“My dog had such a good time with Adrienne and her family! It was easy to see how happy and comfortable she felt when we went to pick her up. Adrienne kept us up to date on all the fun they were having with picture check ins and was quick with response times. We look forward to having her sit our girl again.”
“Alyssa took great care of our beautiful Lilly. Lilly was a bit anxious the first night, but Alyssa made her comfortable and even slept on the couch next to Lilly's bed. Thanks to Alyssa's patience, Lilly slept soundly in her bed in Alyssa's room on the 3rd night. Lilly loved Alyssa and I'm sure she'll be happy to return to Alyssa's care when needed. Alyssa provided updates several times a day and responded to any of my messages in a very timely fashion. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone as I can tell that she lovingly cared for our big girl the same as we do.”
“Jenna has always provided excellent care for my dogs. She's great with communication, provides pictures and updates, and has been understanding and accommodating to emergency schedule changes. Most importantly, my dogs get really excited to go to her house, so I know that they're being well taken care of.”
“Manu & her family took the best care of my senior dog and I felt relaxed to be able to enjoy my family trip. Lots of great pictures and updates provided, which was reassuring and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to have your pup spoiled and well taken care of.”

We had a very good experience with Sai. She took regular photos and communicated how things were going while we were out of town. She took really good care of our dog and we felt comfortable with how she handled every situation that arose. I would recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting. She was great!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 New Hanover 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 New Hanover.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 New Hanover 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.
