“Our dog has some pretty bad anxiety and has come home from previous sitters pretty stressed out. This time, she ate her meals, played with the resident dog, and came home stress free and happy as could be!”
“100% recommended. I felt very calm throughout my trip because JoEllen was in constant communication with me everyday, She always sent me photos and updates on how my dear Ginger was doing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH”
“Fernando was great with receiving instructions on caring for chewy. I was pleasantly updated multiple times through out the day with photos, videos, and messages on how chewy was doing during his stay. Overall great communication and care! Thank you again!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”

“Samantha and her family welcomed Peaches into their home and treated her like part of the family. She kept in communication with us throughout our vacation with texts and photos. We will definitely book with Samantha again.”
“Very nice family that took great care of our dog. Very responsive with all communications and sent updates. Our dog required medicine and that was no issue. Would highly recommend and of course I would use again without hesitation. Thank you”
“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.”

It’s clear that he is treated with lots of love and attention while he’s there. We truly appreciate how comfortable you make both him and us feel. We wouldn’t hesitate to bring him back again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
About: I have experience training puppies and working with senior dogs. I also have volunteered at my local vets office! I would love to spend time taking care of your pet. I work full-time but part time from home. I am also able to leave work on my breaks. I spend my evenings at home or going on walks. I hope you will give me the opportunity to care for your pet! I’m working full time but part time in office. Evening drop off/pick ups would work best. My husband also works Monday - Friday but if I am in office I can spend time at home on my breaks! I would give pets the free rein of my first floor with a crate option. We also have a fenced in yard for them to enjoy!

“Theresa and her entire family have truly treated Sissy like family. Everything from drop off to pick up was easy and seamless. I have so much peace about leaving my dog for an entire week knowing how much she was going to be loved and cared for. We cannot thank you enough! Sissy loves you all!”
“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.”
“This was the first time we used Rover. We were happy to find someone close by. Missy took great care of our dog, and sent lots of photos. She had a lot of fun with Missy's dogs, and came back very tired. Having a Meet & Greet beforehand made us feel better about leaving our dog. We'll definitely use her again.”

Thank you again Shana for taking such good care of Sasha last week. She was so tired when we got home Sunday evening so I know she had a great time playing with all your dogs. She is loving the toys that you stashed in her bag. Looking forward to our next visit to Lancaster County.

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.
95% of sitters in Ontelaunee 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 Ontelaunee 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 Ontelaunee.
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 Ontelaunee. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Ontelaunee 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.
