About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I can remember. I grew up with birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, ferrets and fish. Though my absolute favorite are dogs! I would love to take your dog on walks, feed and water them and give them baths if needed. I am currently a stay at home mom with 3 kids and would be available that day as long as I'm not away somewhere far. I can play catch, take for walks, drive to a dog park, pets on the couch, or whatever you would like me to do to keep them happy.
“Melvin stayed with Jason for 3 nights. First time for my pup to be without us. He had a blast playing with his new dog friends. Came home wiped out and happy. Another great experience!”
“We are repeat customers which says a lot! Tuk is well taken care of and Emily is great with giving us updates and taking his special needs into consideration. We never worry when we leave him here!”
“Thank you, Scott! Thank you for always being kind, understanding, and a good communicator. I know the babies are having a good time when they are with you, and that makes my appointments and/or errands far less stressful for me. Have a great week!”
“I had a great experience leaving my dog with her! She took great care of my pup and made me feel comfortable knowing she was in good hands. My dog seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I picked her up. I really appreciate her taking care of my girl and would definitely book with her again!”
“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”
“Another great visit, Kim was available on less than a week’s notice to watch my Jamocha for an entire day while we visited my son at college. Her care is always first rate and you won’t wonder what’s happening while you’re gone because you get tons of pics and updates. I’m pretty sure Jamocha almost decided to stay 😁 at the end, she lives her time with Kim’s dogs who are now her buddies!”
“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”

“She got me in last minute. My pup had a wonderful time. Ran right in and made herself at home on her second day. She assisted me with rover process as first timer. She sent touching pictured of my Bella enjoying her large gated yard. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Thank you”
“Moxie had a great time with Amanda! We can tell because she came back so exhausted from the fun time she had with all her new furry friends. Amanda was very responsive leading up to and during Moxie’s stay, and she sent us updates with photos throughout the day. We were a little anxious leaving puppy for the first time with a sitter, but Amanda made us feel very comfortable with the whole experience. I’m not sure how often we will need a pet sitter, but we’ll definitely think of Amanda if we need one!”
About: I have been in pet care since I 2019 starting with my own puppy. Since then I have worked in professional pet care in education and training through Petco and local businesses. I am dedicated to providing the best and personalized care to your fur baby. I know how important trusting someone to watch over your pet is. I myself have three dogs, two cats, one bird, one spider, five frogs, and one house full of beautiful chaos and love. I want to be the person to put your mind at ease while you are away. During my time with your animals, I will treat them as they are my own with kindness and respect. I will be honored to help care for your little (or big) pet babies! I want this to be my full time job as much as possible. I have my internship (animal care at a local AZA certified zoo) Monday and Friday, but am otherwise free. I have a two story duplex with a fenced in yard in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I love being outdoors and can even offer hikes after getting to know your dogs a little more. I thrive on attention to detail and can even do medication administration and body examinations.

We were so happy to find Beatriz as a last minute booking. She took wonderful care of our small Shih Tzu mix and sent updates with texts and photos. Her home was perfect with a fenced yard and a lovely neighborhood for dog walks. We will definitely use Beatriz again and will recommend her to others.
Yuli is absolutely amazing- kind, nurturing and safe… my pup Jah wasn’t feeling the best and I know he had a relaxing time. She provided updates and she takes the best pics of him!!! Whenever I come home (nj) and able to bring him it’s refreshing to know she always has space for him… thanks again for being flexible and loving on my big guy!!! And a huge thanks for two magnet photos my mom was sooo happy she put it up immediately right next to the last one you gave me… lol… now I have one for my own fridge
My puppy, Raphael, integrated perfectly into Morgan and Nathan's home. This success was due to their attention, care, and the wonderful interactions they provided to ensure he had the best possible experience. Also, have to extend a thank you to their two adorable pups, who entertained and accompanied him throughout the day. I will definitely be utilizing their services again.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Palmer Heights commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 557 sitters in Palmer Heights, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
