“Xada is so happy to go to doggy day care!! She is played out and the end of the day!!! Love the pictures of her play time! So happy to have someone reliable, trustworthy , VERSATILE and FUN!! 🐾🐾❤️”
“Jaydeep was absolutely amazing with our dog! We left our pup with him for 8 days, and he went above and beyond to keep us updated every single day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dog was under his care. You can tell Jaydeep truly loves and understands dogs — he treated ours like his own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with him again!”
“Rosa and her family are so amazing! We had an emergency and she was able to book immediately. We don’t live in the area either so this was a big help! Also, my dog does not get along with bigger dogs, usually. But he loved her dog, Franca! if I could give her 1 million stars, I would. 💖. Thank you for saving our day!”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Not sure where to start here, We had Kayla stay at our house just during the day to watch my boyfriend's Service Dog Colt. We were extremely nervous because he has never been cared for by anyone other than us and she was absolutely amazing. She made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze. Kayla was so incredibly kind, sweet and professional. She was on time every morning and sent updates throughout the day. We will surely be booking her for next year.”
About: Your dog won't be one of several boarding dogs in my home. I care for only one client family at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention and care throughout their stay. I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I provide a calm, attentive home environment where your pet receives plenty of love, playtime, regular walks, and individualized care based on their routine and personality. My previous experience on Rover’s Trust & Safety team gives me additional knowledge of pet behavior, safety awareness, and risk prevention. I provide a low-stress, structured routine tailored specifically to each dog, whether you have a playful pup or a senior dog with a more delicate routine. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments, and special needs. I am comfortable administering both oral and injected medications and carefully following your pet’s medication and care routine while you’re away. I share my home with cats, so I look for dogs who are comfortable around cats and respectful of feline space. Because I only take one family’s pets at a time, your dog will not be sharing the home with unfamiliar boarding dogs. This can be an especially good fit for senior dogs, shy dogs, or dogs who prefer a quieter environment. You can expect daily photo and video updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I work from home, which means your dog has companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Because I only take one client family at a time, I can focus my schedule and attention on the guest in my care. I closely follow each dog’s established routine, including regular feeding schedules, frequent outdoor breaks, playtime, and walks, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I provide boarding and daycare in a calm, structured home environment and only accept dogs from one family at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and personalized care in a low-stress setting. Your dog won't be sharing the home with unfamiliar boarding dogs. Daily Care & Routine: I follow each dog’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, regular walks, frequent outdoor breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs are not crated unless requested by the owner to match their normal home routine. Feline Safety & Space: I share my home with cats, so I look for dogs who are comfortable around cats and respectful of feline space. I carefully manage the living environment to maintain a peaceful and safe home for both my cats and visiting dogs. For everyone’s comfort and safety, visiting dogs must be house-trained. Peace of Mind: I require a Meet & Greet for all new clients before their first stay so we can make sure my home is a good fit for your dog. My previous experience working on Rover’s Trust & Safety team has also given me additional knowledge of pet behavior, safety awareness, and risk prevention. You can expect regular photo and video updates throughout your dog’s stay.
“Sandra is amazing! My puppy loved staying with her and her sons. Sandra was flexible with timing and provided updates and pictures throughout the day. We’ll definitely be using her whenever we visit the area!”
About: Hi! My name is Kristen and I've been a true animal lover my whole life. I've grown up having animals and I have a deep love for anything furry. I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a toddler. We recently lost our special needs senior pup of 14 years. We miss him so very much. He was my everything. I truly understand loving your pet like a child and will treat them as such. I have 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine and know how to handle most pet emergencies calmly. References are available. I am looking to start pet care full time, as animals are my passion. I have open availability but can only work with dogs, as I'm allergic to cats. I can do walks, playtime, overnight boarding in my home, or day care. Senior pets are my specialty! I am looking to transition into full time pet care, as I now have the time as a stay at home mom! I am able to provide walks several times a day, and all day attention & love. We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, where I can walk your pet several times a day. Our senior dog recently passed away and we miss having a pet in the home tremendously, but we aren’t ready to welcome a new personal pet just yet. Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.
“Dawn took wonderful care of our dog while we stopped at Hershey Park in the middle of a road trip. She was a great communicator, responsive, and was able to be flexible to our pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a playmate, some good human snuggles, and a walk. He loved his day at Dawn’s!”
About: Hi! I have 5 dogs and 4 parakeets myself, I love to craft or just binge watch movies. I’m currently in college, I’ve always loved animals and I lost my job in March, I’m just trying to find better things for myself. Reach out anytime ☺️ I have open availability so pretty much let me know what you’re looking for, if you want me to just stay at yours or even if you just want me to pop in and out from time to time! I have a fenced yard so I’m always watching my dogs, I sit outside with them and just watch them play. I also take them on walks when my parents are able to help since we have alot
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.
About: We have had many animals over the years. I volunteer at the shelter and with rescues. I have experience dealing with puppies to senior dogs/cats. I’ve worked with animals with behavior and health issues. I very big animal lover and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m recently retired. I keep active with my friends, children and grandkids. My schedule is flexible and I look forward to filling it with time spent with new furry friends! I will try my best to stick to whatever routine you have established for your pet. I will work with the owner to get to know the pets behaviors and routine prior to sitting.
About: I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.

“We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Penbrook
Rosa is the absolute BEST!!! My normal pet sitter at home was not available. We were visiting Hershey Park from out of state and decided to contract a sitter close to the park. Rosa sent me updates the entire day. And I could see how loved and care for my puppy was. Rosa and her daughters are warm and kind. If I am ever in the area and need a pet sitter, I know where I want my baby to come.. Thank you, Rosa & family 💕
Angel was amazing! definitely recommend her, it was my first time leaving my dog and puppy with anybody and she made me feel less worried and kept me very well updated and followed any specific instructions i had left. My dogs came back very happy from playing with her in her spacious backyard 😊 if i ever need a sitter in the area again, she will be my go too. highly recommended!!
Such a fantastic rover experience!! This is top 10 of my best rovers I’ve ever had and I use rover quite often since I travel for work and bring my dog with me! Thank you guys for taking such good care of Nino! I got SO many picture updates throughout his stay so I knew he was well taken care of and happy! He got to do all of his favorite things like play with stuffed animals, roll on the couch, go for a short walk and hang with someone the whole day! He was one happy pup! You can tell they really love animals too! I will 100% be using them next time I’m in town!

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 Penbrook 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
