“Marián was incredible with my puppy! Her dogs are so friendly and did so well with her. Marián provided an ample amount of exercise and enrichment for Luna. Her timing was flexible which i appreciated so much. Many updates and pictures were provided which put me at ease. I am already planning on booking her to watch my puppy again for my next vacation.”
“Deirdre did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She sent photos of him having fun playing with her dogs and its help set us at ease. We plan to rebook with her in the future!”
“Thank you so much Mayra for taking amazing care of my baby boy on this long stay. Mayra is amazing and i can tell by the pictures and videos i was receiving daily that Milo was in loving care. Thank you so much to Mayra and her family!”
“We were so happy to have found Anna to watch Jagger for a last minute day trip we went on. She is a caring, kind, & thoughtful person. We could tell Jagger had a great day with Anna. We highly recommend her to take great care of your pet.”
“Tristan was a lifesaver! After another boarder canceled a week before our trip, we were scrambling to find someone to watch our dogs for a week. We haven’t left our dogs for overnight boarding in a few years and were worried about how they’d do…but it looks like they had a blast! Tristan sent pictures and videos of the dogs sleeping and playing throughout the week which put our minds at ease. Our dogs were excited to see us when we picked them up but then slept nearly all day - I take that as a sign that they had fun and wore themselves out :). Thank you Tristan!!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“This was our dog’s first time with Lynnea, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Our dog was well-cared for, and communication was frequent and meaningful. We appreciated all of the photos and videos Lynnea sent us while we were away. We will definitely use her as our sitter in the future!”
“My dog was lovingly cared for - I felt very comfortable leaving her with Dane & Kayla and my dog loved it too! They are very kind, quick communicators, and obviously understand dogs.”
“If Joan is available, book her! Our boy immediately felt at home, and was loved and cared for so well. He was happy to see us….but was in no hurry to leave. Joan adapted everything to his needs, asked all the right questions, gave him lots of attention and kept us updated. It is hard to find the right sitter, and we will travel out of our way for Joan to sit Mac again.”
“Norma absolutely loved her time with Fernando! I'm a travel healthcare worker, and needed some help with my puppy. Every day she would run up to the door with her tail wagging like crazy to see him. Fernando was very reliable, never had to cancel or change his schedule. He even kept her overnight once, my family was in town and we went to a concert in Maryland. If I'm ever in this area again, I'd 100% go to Fernando again.”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“I just want to eternally thank Cassandra for taking care of my boy as if he were me in such a short time. She made me feel very safe and comfortable on my vacation without having to think so much, but thanks to her I was very comfortable during these days away from my baby. Thank you so much and I recommend her with my eyes closed. She is very good at what she does 👏”
“Kathy was awesome. Her setup was clean and warm. My Chihuahua isn't fond of many people, but warmed up to Kathy right away. She was very accomodating to my schedule and I felt totally at ease with my "baby" being in her care. Will definitely be requesting her services in the future.”

“My very first time using Rover I thought the process was very smoothly. Dale and Chris reached out fast and wanted to do a meet and greet so my dog sees and knows the atmosphere he will be in for the few days. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They were kind enough to send updates and pictures through the duration of my trip. I highly recommend them.?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pottsville
Starr took excellent care of our Kai while we were out of the country! Leaving him for the first time with strangers and his separation anxiety had me very worried, but she handled it all wonderfully. She provided us with regular updates, including photos, and our Kai took to her almost instantly. 😊 We will definitively be using her for any future travel plans as Kai adores her and she has proven herself to be a trustworthy caretaker for our Kai. 😊 Would highly recommend her if your pup is like ours and has separation anxiety issues.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pottsville is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $54 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 October 2026, there are 231 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pottsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Pottsville 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 Pottsville 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 Pottsville.
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 Pottsville 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.
