“Tyler was the perfect fit for Rosco and our family. He was easy to communicate with and provided updates and photos of our dog during our weekend trip away. We will definitely reuse him for future boarding and sitting.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael & Loraine! It was our first time leaving Bomi with someone outside of family, and they were so patient, kind, and reassuring from the start — answering all our questions and even inviting us to see their clean, spacious home before booking. While we were away, they kept in touch with thoughtful updates and photos, and it was clear Bomi was happy, comfortable, and loved like family. We’re so grateful for their care, attention, and kindness, and would absolutely trust them with Bomi again. Highly recommend!”
“Cooper was so happy to be with Olive in her home from the moment we met her in the meet and greet. He looked happy in each picture she took of him during his stay with her. Thanks Olive! ”
“We had an excellent experience with Allan and Anne Marie. Rover made the booking process easy. We scheduled a meet and greet prior to confirming the booking. Allan took notes which helped alleviate my anxiety of leaving Bella and Bentley. They took great care of my dogs, sending me emails and pictures on daily basis, which I appreciated so much. We would definitely use them again.”
“Ruth and her husband were wonderful with my dog Banjo. He is a nervous boy and can be a little bit of a handful. Ruth handled it with grace and was very loving towards him. She sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see Banjo having a good time! The updates really set my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to book with Ruth again!”
“We are very happy with Teddi’s stay with Mariia. She was very communicative and sent daily pictures. Mariia took excellent care of our pet. I highly recommend her and Teddi will return again!!”
“Wendy and Dan took wonderful care of my Ivy! They kept me updated with messages and pictures while I was on my trip. They were so loving and patient with her. I will definitely have Ivy stay with them when I travel!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life! I had a Black Lab for 14 years, and my love for animals has also led me to volunteer with the SPCA and other dog shelters. I’m passionate about providing dogs with the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I’m available to care for your furry friend on weekends and after 4–5 PM on weekdays. I can easily incorporate pet care into my routine and am happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention! I am happy to care for your furry friend in the comfort of their own home! I will follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Lynda is an excellent dog-sitter! She was so great to deal with- responsive, communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up times. You can definitely see how much Lynda loves dogs. Our dog is the anxious type, but Lynda worked really well with him. Thanks so much for your excellent care of Rosco!”
“Andrew and Jacklynn are amazing dog sitters. They watched our Stella for a second time over the Thanksgiving holiday for 4 nights/5 days. When I dropped her off outside their home, she immediately ran up to them tail wagging, excited to be seeing them again. She was also excited to have a dog pal in Rocky. When she is there, I can tell she is treated like family from the photos. Fantastic communication throughout and Stella came home happy. They also did a great job with her medicine. Thank you Andrew and Jacklynn for the tremendous care.”
“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!”
“Dana took great care of our dog, Max, during his first overnight stay. She sent photos and kept us updated on how Max was doing. We have already booked Max for a week stay at Dana’s while we are on vacation.”
“Jason took Maxi in on a short notice and took such great care of her! We are always nervous about leaving her with others but she just looked so calm and happy in all of the pictures that he sent, which put us at ease the entire time. I would highly recommend his services!”
“Heather had her hands full with my 7 month old lab/husky puppy. She accepted the challenge and took great care of Meadow. I appreciated the updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Heather as a pet sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are delighted that it worked out so well. Mikaila was kind and easy to communicate with. Our dog is a little anxious but she was able to eat and sleep without problem at Mikaila's. We definitely recommend Mikaila and would use her again.”
“Shamira takes such wonderful care of my elderly dog. Nina is blind and has a lot of special needs — diapers, meds, eyedrops! Shamira handles it all in stride. And she makes sure to shower Nina with attention and give her plenty of the things she likes such as spending time in the sun.”

Mia enjoyed her time with Tyler. I received updates & photo which gave me peace of mind Mia was being well cared for over the weekend. From the time of our first meeting Tyler was interested in Mia’s eating schedule & routines so he could best care for her. He returned every text immediately. I would definitely recommend & use Tyler’s services again.

Andrew was wonderful from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and flexible- we had to adjust our days after booking due to an unexpected funeral and he made the changes quickly. Our dog got really great care with frequent updates and pics and it was very clear Andrew really enjoys taking care of animals! Would highly recommend. Thank you!!

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 Oak Park 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 Oak Park.
<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 Oak Park 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.
