“Rob sent pictures everyday and took great care of my pup, Bamba. I can’t recommend him enough if you want a chill and comforting presence around your dog. He’s someone that makes even an anxious owner like myself feel at ease with boarding her. Thanks Uncle Rob!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our two cats in Maria’s care. She provided a safe and welcoming home for them and we could tell from the pictures she sent every day that our pets felt relaxed. She is warm, caring and thoughtful. Couldn’t ask for anything more and will definitely book a stay for Simon and Alvin in the future!”
“Piper loved staying with Jason and the other furry folks! She is a bit sensitive and Jason quickly made her feel secure and happy and loved. We will bring her back to stay the next time we travel.”
“Heather had her hands full with my 7 month old lab/husky puppy. She accepted the challenge and took great care of Meadow. I appreciated the updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Heather as a pet sitter.”
“Absolutely 100% recommend. I received so many adorable photos of my pups while I was away. Excellent communication and can really tell how much Staci loves animals. She loved on my babies so much and can really tell that they were in good hands.”
“Wendy and Daniel were absolutely wonderful. We get nervous leaving our Boston terrier if the person is not familiar with the brachiocephalic breed and they made us so comfortable at the meet and greet! Barney had the best time and can’t wait to book again.”
“Awesome sitter, would recommend her to watch any dog. Hopefully she would be willing to watch my Bray again. I had clear, consistent, and prompt responses and even photos. Crimean truly is an awesome sitter and animal lover.”
“Jia was fantastic! She was very flexible and understanding with pick up and drop off times, was attentive during the meet and greet to both care instructions as well as making sure Dashi fit in well, and was extremely communicative during the sit with photo and video updates. I would highly recommend Jia for her attention to detail and excellent care for your pup.”
“Kerri & Harry was so great with my Shih-Poo. We were looking for someone that would make him feel like home and they knocked it out the park - I could tell he missed them on our drive home. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a loving and safe place for your fur baby. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Kathleen was great taking care of my Smokey. Especially when he was neutered a week prior and needed to wear this big cone around his neck. Smokey takes medication to control seizures and needs to be hand fed. Kathleen was sooo involved and gave Smokey her full attention. Thank you so much Kathleen.”
“We feel so very fortunate to have had Joe and his wife Bonnie care for our 13 year old Westie, Ozzy, for 9 days. They sent updates and pictures and made us feel comfortable and confident that Oz was in great hands during this extended stay. They are true dog lovers and our sweet Oz had a very nice stay with them. Thanks so much Joe and Bonnie!”
“Our plans for our dog fell through at the last minute and Mikaila was willing to accommodate a last minute meet-and-greet and agreed to watch our dog. Mikaila was so wonderful with our dog and truly treated her like her own. She put our minds at ease when we were stressed about finding a last minute sitter and sent us pictures as well as updates so we knew our dog was in great hands! We will definitely use Mikaila again!”
“Katie is wonderful. She is caring and attentive to our cat Moscato. She sees to it that Moscato is happy and comfortable. I am very happy that Katie accepted to take care of him.”
“Snickers had a GREAT time with Katie and Rooney! This was the first time we’ve left a dog with anyone other than family and Katie made it so easy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay which allowed us to be relaxed. It was also very nice to not have to bring a crate, as Katie has plenty available. Drop off and pick up were a breeze and Katie had a lot of flexibility, and was quick to respond. We are looking forward to Snickers next stay with Katie!”
“Absolutely WONDERFUL. I literally have no words to describe how amazing Traci and Jeffery’s care was for Apollo. They are so sweet and kind and treated my dog as their own. They kept me updated on his activities and behaviors. They were so incredibly accompanying to his medical needs. They are such lovely people to talk with as well. They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”
“ My wife and I have used several sitters for our dog Bentley through the years and by far and away, Olive is the best! It's very evident that Olive not only has a love for animals, but a thorough understanding of them as well. Like the pro that she is, she quickly acquainted our dog to her home and definitely reduced his stress level....which usually comes with adapting to new surroundings. Olive also sent regular progress updates which we really appreciated! We highly recommend Olive (and her charming family) and will definitely being utilizing her services again in the future! ”
“Carole watched out pets twice this year and she was great both times. She always responds quickly when we check in and also provides updates daily. We recommend her highly. Thank you, Carole!”

“Jeffrey was great with our dogs! He took wonderful care of them. He provided regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We would be happy to have Jeffrey watch our dogs again in the future.”
“Barbara and James were great hosts for my pup! He had a blast playing on their beautiful property and I got great updates and photos during his stay. I will absolutely reach out to them next time for another booking!”

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 Plumstead 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 Plumstead 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 Plumstead.
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 Plumstead. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Plumstead 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.
