“Robert was great with Lulu! He was responsive, responsible and flexible. He sent adorable photos and gave plenty of updates. Wouldn't hesitate to book him again! Excellent experience. Thank you :)”
“Jasmine is perfect. I have used her services for boarding and dog walking. Both times were good experiences. I am able to relax because Jasmine keeps me constantly updated with pictures and video. Sprinkles put my dog at ease so that was super helpful.”
“This is the second time Zoey stayed with them and I only have positive things to say! Peter and Julie are wonderful as always and we will definitely continue to use them again.”
“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“Carismeldi and Pablo always take great care of our pup! We receive regular updates and pictures- our doggy always has a huge smile when she’s with them! Highly recommend Carismeldi and Pablo!”
“Shakira was amazing. She watched my dogs for me while I was on vacation. I ended up having flight issues coming home and she was quickly able to extend the stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the time they were with her. My dogs were very comfortable and at ease and I will absolutely be using her as a sitter again. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Merlin enjoyed his stay. We liked the updates, photos and taking time to meet in advance. Thank you for taking our senior beagle on walks. Liliana took great care, we hope to book again soon.”
“Alexis was incredible with Koda!! It was my first time using the boarding feature with Rover but after meeting Alexis I was completely assured that Koda would be in good hands. Alexis gave daily updates and pics and made sure Koda felt comfortable while away from home.”
“Above and beyond! Kanade took such excellent care of my dog, and she looked truly happy in the copious amount of pictures that were provided. Kanade asked questions for clarification of care, send a daily recap of how my dog was, and completely put me at ease during my trip. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dogsitter.”
“Yuiko was great with Maya and provided regular updates that gave me peace of mind that she was doing ok. Yuiko has a big backyard that Maya enjoyed and had other dogs around routinely for her to play with. I definitely hope to have Yuiko watch Maya again in the future. Thank you!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“tamikia was so amazing. this was my first time using rover and i was nervous about leaving my pup for 2 weeks but tamikia’s incredible response time and constant photo updates put me completely at ease. when i picked my dog up, she was so comfortable at tamikia’s house that she wasn’t even that excited to see me lol. i will 1000% be using tamikia for any future care. this is your sign to stop browsing on rover and book tamikia!!!”
“Alexandra was amazing with Burt. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and am so grateful when my flight got cancelled she was able to watch him an extra night/day. Burt looked like he was really living the life! Thank you!”
“Eunji is wonderful! She responds to messages promptly, sent tons of photos from their many walks and playtime, and our dog came home happy and sleepy from all the excitement 🧡🧡🧡 Thank you so much Eunji!”
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“Nicole was simply the best dog sitter ever! Canada loved hanging out with her dogs and came home happy and relaxed - there's nothing better than knowing your pet is in such good hands. She also gave me a great recommendation on a puzzle feeder that my pup loves. A+ all around!!”
“Alex was absolutely fantastic while watching my dog for a few days. I felt completely at ease. Alex was communicative, reliable, and sent regular updates and photos. I’d recommend Alex to others who are looking for a pet sitter.”
“Chloe is wonderful! She is flexible, available, and takes great care of my dog, Freddy. Freddy was so excited to see her again and I felt so comfortable dropping him off knowing he was happy and well cared for.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Philadelphia
This is our 3rd time booking with Max and Eli and I just can’t say enough good things about both of them. Their communication skills are impeccable. And our fur baby Simba adores both of them so much. He is always so well cared for and always so happy to be back with the both of them and if you’re looking for a sitter who is communicative, sends pics daily and, genuinely cares about your cats best interests it’s them two!
Emily was so kind and caring with our elderly pup. He loved cuddling with her and she managed to capture some truly precious pics of him (which is a feat for an all black dog!). We received daily updates and porter was obviously happy and well cared for while we were on vacation. We highly recommend Emily and will definitely use her services in the future!
Christine and Dan were absolutely incredible! From the moment I met Christine, she was so bubbly, warm, and friendly, and it was immediately clear that they were genuinely excited to spend time with Blizzard. They even offered to meet up before the weekend so that everyone, especially Blizzard, could get comfortable beforehand, which I really appreciated. While I was away, they took Blizzard on a long walk to a nearby park and kept me updated with pictures throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Christine and Dan truly went above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. I would have them watch Blizzard again in a heartbeat! I could tell Blizz was actually a little sad to leave them, so she clearly had an amazing time too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Philadelphia on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,375 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Philadelphia. About 90% of Philadelphia sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
