“Jessica was AMAZING and so sweet. She was very responsive and flexible coming up with a time for a meet and greet. She sent the funniest pictures of our pup while we were away and he had a blast. Safe to say he came back spoiled. I will for sure be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Coralee and her family took great care of Bear. Her dogs are very playful and friendly. It was so nice getting updates everyday and seeing how happy he was playing with them all day. I will definitely be calling Coralee next time we go out of town. I’m sure Bear will be very excited to go back!”
“I’d been searching for a sitter after moving back to the area and the search is over! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my Barry was having a great time with Carol and her pups and getting all the cuddles. Carol sent updates and cute pictures of him getting plenty of love. We look forward to having a reliable person who makes it easy to enjoy my time away!”
“We left our mini schnauzer in the BEST care for our 2 week trip away. Andrew, Karen, and Finn were the best hosts to our boy. We received many daily updates of photos/videos of Moose having the best time playing with Finn. They were always so quick to respond to any messages we sent. When we picked up Moose, he was clean and brushed. I’m one of those crazy dog moms and am 10000% happy with how Moose was taken care of! Thank you so much Andrew and Karen!”
“Loved that Melissa sent updates and pics everyday. Helped me to feel confident that he was receiving excellent care. He seemed like he enjoyed his "vacation" with his pals. Will definitely use her again.”
“Tucker had a nice first stay at Valerie’s. He’s high energy and gets a bit anxious in new spaces out of our routines but she was very patient and attentive with him, keeping him busy with playtime, backyard fun and walks. She sent frequent photo and video updates that kept me at ease throughout the stay.”
“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”
“Nothing else to say except - THE BEST!!!!! Can’t say enough (as I have numerous other times) about how wonderful it is to have a confident feeling in knowing that your pup is being taken AWESOME care of while you are apart. This was just a short 24 hour stay - But Charlie had the best time!!!!! Thanks again!!!! JW”
“Our dog raced to the front door remembering her stay with Jena and Nick from last year. She remained happy and was able to stick to her normal routines while there. Jena sent pictures and updates regularly and was good about reporting any concerns or issues such as the air quality preventing long walks. They were genuinely concerned about Liz’s well being which is so important to us. Our pet was well cared for, and we plan to use them any time we need a dog sitter. We find them to be reliable, caring, and responsible and know Liz is in good hands while we are away.”
“Adam was great with our dog boone!! You can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. He Kept us updated daily and sent lots of pics (very cute ones ! ) Boone loves to be outside and Adam took him on so many good walks, visited the dog park , and they even got a pup cup! We will definitely be rebooking in the future”
“Athena was very happy when I picked her up, It was like she was on vacation while I was gone. I will definitely be having Adrienne watch Athena again.”
“Melissa and her family are simply wonderful. Our girls had the time of their lives. The yard is great and fully fenced, the family dogs are incredibly sweet, and everyone pitches in to care for the pets staying with them. We got regular updates throughout our trip, which made all the difference. Leaving our girls is never easy, but knowing they’re with their family makes it effortless.”
“Laura provided the perfect vacation for our Molly, who is older and just needs love and companionship. She was very accommodating to our schedule and easy to work with. We would highly recommend Laura and I am sure we will be using here in the future. Dave P.”
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
“My dogs love going to stay with Vivian and her family. They are very taken care of and get plenty of walks. I received tons of pictures and can see my pups are happy and doing well.”
“Accommodated my last minute request! Took good care of my dogs! I would definitely recommend Dara! She has a fenced yard that my girls really enjoyed! Thank you Dara!”
“Our dogs Tobias and Luna seemed to have a good time and exercise with Stacey and his family. Stacey was very responsive whenever I asked for updates and our dogs came back without any new habits. Also Stacey was great with using the smart collar during the day, which gave me additional peace of mind as I could track the activity of our dogs.”
“Kahlua had a great time during her stay. I could tell she was comfortable from the start as she walked right in with him without hesitating - she can sometimes get separation anxiety. The videos I received all weekend showed her engaged and playing with some of the other dogs and I can tell how much fun she had because she is exhausted!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
88% of New Kensington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which New Kensington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Kensington 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 Kensington.
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 New Kensington 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.
