“Jaideep was very communicative and easily accommodated my early morning drop off and pick up. He sent pictures of Sasha looking very content during her stay with him, and kept me updated on everything. I’m just passing through the area, but if you’re local to Harrisburg, PA then definitely book him!”
“We haven't left our older rescue pup with anyone overnight before. Pepper was well cared for by Angel. She had walks and belly rubs and in general a peaceful stay while we had to be out of town for several days. Thanks so much, Angel, for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Jacky had a great time staying with De'Andra & Robert while I was on a work trip. De'Andra sent many pictures and kept me updated on how Jacky was doing. Jacky felt right at home and got along very well with their dogs Crosby and Spyder. Such a great experience, I highly recommend De'Andra and Robert!”
“So grateful to Laura and her family for providing such wonderful care of our boy orso. She made an exception to take him in when our prior plans fell thru. We had such peace of mind knowing Orso was in such good hands while we were away. She ensured he ate, played and enjoyed his time while we were gone”
“Our dogs loved being with Sandra and her family. They took such great care of our fur babies. Kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pics. Was flexible with our drop off and pick up which was super helpful.”
“Goose was so happy after his overnight stay with Oleg! He was able to play and get lots of love at his house. Oleg was responsive and flexible with us to make it a pleasant experience for us just as much as it was for Goose!”
About: I've taken care of little to medium dogs. I love to play if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. I like for us to get as much fresh air if possible. Love going on long walks along the water and hang out on the porch. I work from home so I'm able to be around and spend time, sometimes do extra walks if I have time in between clients. My partner is home after 5pm and on weekends. He walks them in the evening or we both do and he does the feeding and bathroom in the am. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out by 9pm again. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. She is very friendly with other dogs and when she has energy will play. In between working I will hang out on my porch with my furbuddies. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park and I've had other dogs be ok with that. If not we go on scenic walks and spend extra time outside if its nice.
“Anton was great. All was good. Professor is old and set in his ways, but he was obviously treated well and the photos & videos sent while he was there show him very happy. As far as I can see, there is no down side with leaving your Pet with Anton. We will definitely do it again.”
“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Dana and Jonathan were amazing with our dog Bear. They arranged a meet and greet before booking the boarding, and were kind and welcoming. They took care of our Bear and sent us pictures and videos while we were away. I can’t speak highly enough of their service and care for our dog!”
“Very responsive and fast communicator! Friendly, accommodated a meet & greet visit in advance, and willing to let me come in their home at drop off. Our dog came home happy and healthy! I had never used Rover before, and this was a very positive experience.”
“Kayla was great! It was Lotus’s first time staying with Kayla. She sent us pictures throughout his stay with her and made sure we were in the loop of how he was doing. We felt very comfortable with her and would drop Lotus off in the future! Thank you!”
“EXCELLENT. Its so hard to leave a fur baby behind for any amount of time. I felt so good leaving our dog with Kayla. We first had a meet and greet and that went great. Everything with our stay went great. We got photos and videos daily. Our dog looked happy in all the photos. All of our instructions were followed. Great stay and will return!”
About: Dogs have always been a very special part of my life. I have had a dog by my side for as long as I can remember, and being a dog parent has taught me that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. After recently losing my own dog, I discovered that what I miss most is the unconditional love and companionship that only a dog can provide. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and provide the same affection, patience, and attention that I gave my own. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. My promise is simple: your dog will be loved, cared for, and treated like family every moment you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time at home, which allows me to give dogs the attention they deserve. Whether they need exercise, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like family. I provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and different needs. Some dogs love to play and explore, while others prefer cuddling on the couch and enjoying a quiet environment. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re receiving the same love and attention I gave my own dog.
“Missy was very good with our dog. He had never been left with anyone other than family, so there were some challenges. She gave me daily updates with pictures which I loved! Missy was very patient and kind to Baxley. We could tell that she has a lot of experience working with animals and that she cares for each one she watches. We were very pleased with her - five stars! We would definitely use her again and recommend her.”
“Bear had a great stay with Hannah and crew! They sent lots of photos of bear playing with their pup. Great hosts and super accommodating and our booking was last minute! Will definitely us them again in the future!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Paxtonia
I cannot rave enough about Jaideep as a dogsitter. We've worked with several dogsitters over the years, and Jaideep is hands-down the best. During our time out of town, he sent multiple updates and photos to keep us apprised of how our two pups were doing. It put our minds at such ease to know they were in excellent hands while we were away. We will absolutely book him again!
Kristen and her family are the best! Mochi is still really small and we hate leaving her at all, but with Kristen we knew she was not only well taken care of but super happy too. Through frequent updates we knew our girl had an amazing time and made some new friends for life. The next time we are forced to leave her behind Kristen will be the first person we reach out to, we could not have asked for anything more!

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 Paxtonia home-away-from-home, 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 Paxtonia.
<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 Paxtonia 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 , 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 .
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.
