“Ashley was exceptionally kind and attentive to my dog, my VAL felt at home, no stress and actually missed Ashley after leaving which says allot. I highly recommend her. There’s not enough stars above that represents my rating, 🙏.”
“Success for a second few night stay for our Cavapoo! Andrew & Karen seem to care & train in the process for whatever behavior is needed. Appreciate their efforts and comfort/routine given to him. Also nice to get a couple of messages a day w/pix! Thanks much to both of you!! Made us relax even more knowing he was in good hands with you!”
“Tamakia was really communicative and fast with our last minute boarding so I really appreciated that! She also sent a lot of photos and updates which helped give me peace of mind while out of town. She took care of my dogs well and I highly recommend her!”
“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Luna had a great time!! She tends to be very anxious but warmed up quickly. Stephanie and Philip were great at communicating with us and we were relieved to know she was with people who treated her like family!”
“Natasha and her family are amazing. We’re repeat customers with a 14-year-old Labrador lady who is almost blind, hard of hearing, has allergies, and sometimes struggles with her legs and walking. Natasha and her family take such great care of her—truly above and beyond. One time she wasn’t eating her food, which was really unusual, and they actually cooked her food from scratch to encourage her to eat… and she did! It meant so much to us. Natasha always communicates super proactively and sends tons of pictures, which I really appreciate. With her age, I always worry about leaving her behind, but with Natasha, I know she’s in the absolute best hands. She treats her with such kindness, patience, and attention. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Thank you so much!!”
“Keqi was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. He had a great visit, and loved getting the extra attention from their other cat. Very responsive and flexible sitter. I would highly recommend!”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Gary is the best!! He always takes the best care of our senior pug Yoda when we go away. We know that Yoda is in the best hands when we leave him with Gary. Gary is very compassionate and caring, we highly recommend him as always. He will treat your furbaby as his own.”
About: I have taken care of all size and types of dogs my whole life. They have always been a family member. I have also worked witb trainers for years I work full time from home amd are generally home in evenings. If I am watching your dog I will be available almost the whole time. I no longer have a dog in my house Although not fenced I have a nice sized yard in a suburban neighborhood with side walks for walking. I also have a dog crate and experience walking dogs.
“Breanna was everything we could have asked for in a sitter! She sent lots of photos and updates, had toys for our dog to play with, and even took him for his favorite treat, a pup cup! She was very communicative and asked great questions to make sure she knew everything he needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”
“The experience was perfect. From the pre-meeting, to the communication during the stay, and the videos and photos. Velma clearly had a good time with Adrienne and her pups. Thanks so much”
“Amanda was very kind and patient with us and our french bulldog, Echo. Echo is a protective dog. He barks and growls a lot when meeting new people. I could immediately tell she had experience with this kind of behavior. She was calm and let Echo warm up to her on his own time. It was very reassuring that I was leaving Echo with a pro! I would give Amanda 10 stars. I am glad to have found a kind and experienced caregiver.”
“We are so grateful to have found such reliable and kind sitters to care for Nash during his 9-night stay! Sophie and her boyfriend treated our mini bernedoodle, Nash wonderfully and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We are so thankful for the excellent care they provided and will absolutely use Sophie again for upcoming needs. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, both breeder and rescue! I understand the patience, love, and discipline all dogs need, and am ready to give them my all when in my care! My schedule is flexible if there’s two weeks notice. I work on a daily/weekly schedule in the restaurant and film industry, so if I have aforementioned advanced notice I can plan to be home for as long as needed for a pup! While I have no yard of my own, I am near Mellon Park and a couple blocks away from family that will allow me to use their fenced-in backyard as needed! All of my friends and family are dog lovers, so if anyone visits my apartment, your dog will be double cuddled and spoiled and loved (Note: I will be the primary caregiver, I will not cede care of your pet to anyone else while working. I will always be present)! I have plenty of healthy treats as well, and if no specific bed is provided for a lodging stay, I’m willing to buy one myself. Dogs are allowed on couches/chairs with some blankets I already have, and I will put their bed next to me in my room during the night. I love taking walks around the neighborhood and enjoying food, and obviously would have some eager canine company to join me!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Plum is $48

This was the first time we left our pup with a non-family member and I could not be more thrilled with the service that Beatriz provides! I was nervous that our very high-energy pup may be too much for a sitter, but Beatriz reassured me that she was sweet, obedient, and did great. We received pictures and videos every day to reassure us that our girl was doing great and we couldn’t imagine a better pup sitter!
Daniel was amazing with my dogs! He sent pictures and videos, updated me everyday about them during their stay. One of my dogs is very extroverted and adventurous, the other one is shy and takes a bit to warm up to people, and Daniel was great dealing with their very different personalities. He also maintained their routines as best as possible. One thing to note is that his dog Koda is a sweet baby, very happy and loves so much to be with other dogs! He is definitely the life of the party lol. My dogs and him became very good friends, it was so good to see all the pictures and videos of all 3 playing running around their backyard together. They had a blast! Thank you to Daniel, Marisa and their Koda, you're an awesome family and I am so happy Kaya and my Koda got to stay with you! We will come back for sure when needed! 😊

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Plum is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 857 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Plum. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% of sitters in Plum 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 Plum 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 Plum.
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 Plum. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Plum 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.
