“Garrett took great care of Allie for us. He responded promptly to messages, was very polite, and went out of his way to help Allie feel at home. She was very happy staying with him, and seemed content when we picked her up. I would definitely recommend and book with Garrett again!”
“Rita was great! Our first time using Rover and we were nervous since our dog can be a bit needy. Rita would send pictures and updates which put us at ease. Otis looked to have a great time! We will definitely be using Rita again.”
“Meagen was able to take Lorna at the last minute and handle a very anxious dog. Thank you so much Meagan. We really appreciate your flexibility and the care you took with Lorna. And the picture of her with other dogs was great!”
“Corra had the best time with Dolly and her sons. She was well taken care of with plenty of walks and cuddles. Dolly also kept us updated with frequent pictures. Will definitely book Dolly again !!”
“I had such a great experience with Juliana and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Leaving my dog while traveling is never easy, but she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free from the start. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me feel connected even while I was away.”
“Margaret took good care of our dog, Luna, while we were out of town. She was very easy to work with. We also really appreciated her flexibility with the pickup time, which made our travel plans much easier. We felt very comfortable knowing Luna was in good hands.”
About: I have always loved animals and will love taking care of yours. Some info about me, I work as a volunteer vet tech so I am able to give your dog oral or subcutaneous medicine. My family and I have four dogs and two cats that I take care of by taking them on walks, brushing their teeth, and bathing. I have also dog sat a couple homes while pet parents are away. I am currently a student at wcu and am on a flexible schedule as my gymnastics season just ended and the semester is coming to an end. I have a Maltese poodle mix(Chase) that lives at college with me and my roommates and I always put him on a leash when letting him outside and he is currently on an eating routine. Chase is a picky pup with allergies and high anxiety so I have understood how to deal with high maintenance dogs and well as my sisters German shepherd and lab and the two dogs and cats my parents have at home. I am well versed with taking care of any type of dog or cat.
“What a great guy! We couldn’t be any happier with the wonderful care given to our fur baby. David is kind and understanding with his animals. We are lucky to have found him!”
“Simone was absolutely amazing and so kind. My dog was immediately drawn to her and was so happy in all the update photos she sent. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will book again in the future.”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Alyssa is great! She was able to watch Mylo last minute and even it being her first time away from home, she had a blast. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!”
“Samantha was great with my Finley. She sent pictures throughout the day and took her on a walk. Finley was her normal happy self when I picked her up and I can tell she enjoyed her time at Samanthas.”
“Liz was fantastic with Daisy Mae! She was quick with her responses and her regular updates were on point! Daisy Mae loved hanging out with Liz and her two wonderful dogs. Thank you!”
“Our first time leaving Max with Sangeetha and I was very nervous. Max, who was a rescue from a neglect situation, is aggressively affection. At 85lbs, he can sometimes prove to be a LOT. Sangeetha and her husband were wonderful with Max! He was so happy and comfortable with them (I have many pictures to prove it) and he came home better behaved than before he left!!! Sangeetha will be our sitter of first choice from here on out!”
About: I have had pets in my home since I was born, and currently have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old back at home with my mom now. I fostered a pup from ACCT Philly for a few months, volunteered at the Humane Society, and often dog-sit for friends/ family. I have class every day for 1-3 hours, but I am open anytime outside of my class hours and have a super flexible, accommodating schedule. I follow their request and expectation for how their dog is to be treated and cared for, while giving them appropriate attention and exercise. I ensure I am present to care for the dog and ensure all their needs are met.
“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!”
“Amy and Cathy were wonderful! We have a special needs dog who is diabetic and they were great administering the medication and ensuring that she was doing well. We got regular updates from them and felt good being away that our dogs were in such good care.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pocopson
An excellent sitter for our Boston Terrier. Yolanda keeps a tidy, non smoking home and clearly enjoys the dogsitting. Good videos and pictures while we were away. Her incoming process, complete with a very thorough sheet with detailed questions, was also appreciated. Would book her again when next we need a sitter. Thank you, Yolanda.

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 Pocopson 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 Pocopson.
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.
You and your Pocopson 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.
