“My boy Veto enjoyed his 9 night stay with Lorraine. We did a meet and greet prior and he warmed up to her and her husband right away. He came home tired from all his walks and took some nice long naps after his stay. All communication with Lorraine was very prompt and I felt very comfortable with leaving him in her care. I would definitely recommend Lorraine!”
“Debbie is the best sitter! My dog ,Jasper, loves to go the their house! He loves to run around in their huge secure fenced in yard and play with her dogs. She is always so great about sending pics and videos. We have been bringing our dog there for a couple years now and it has always been a great experience. She really connects and cares about our Jasper when he is there! I would highly recommend Debbie!!!”
“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!”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“Thank you very much for caring for Oliver! His first boarding experience was great (happy pup = great experience). The communication was great and the pictures/videos helped us feel better too.”
“This was our first time using Marian as a Rover sitter. She allowed me into her home to view the areas my dogs would be kept. It was a beautiful space and I didn't hesitate to leave them in her good hands. Within an HOUR or two of drop-off - we had an unexpected situation when one of our dogs became very stressed and sick due to the new environment. Marian kept me informed right away, was incredibly patient and compassionate and worked with me to come up with the best solution for my dogs. She even transported them to our home and transitioned our booking to drop in visits - which I so appreciated. She was kind, flexible, understanding - even after my dog had multiple accidents in her home - which had never happened before. She reassured us that she was a professional and used to these situations. We were able to proceed with our booked getaway ONLY because of Marians professionalism and kindness and flexibility. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional sitter.”
“Deirdre was amazing with our mini golden doodle! Our dog was so happy when we picked her up. I could tell she had a great time! Deirdre is kind and professional, and sent some great pictures of her having lots of fun on their beautiful farm! Will definitely go back again!”
“Megan was great with Izzy. She's very caring, and shows a lot of patience and understanding of dogs. She was very accommodating, and put my mind at ease for a fairly long boarding (10 days).”
“Celestia and Ryan were absolutely great. They accommodated my last-minute trip and boarded my dog Rocky for two nights and three days. They sent me pictures and videos, which ease my worries. Rocky had the best time. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much Celestia and Ryan.”
“Deborah was great with our 9 year old terrier. She was very communicative and sent updated pictures throughout our trip. When we returned, our dog was calm and content. We will definitely use her services again.”
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“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!!”
“Rosa was very patient with me (a new doggy mommy) and despite my nagging questions anf clear apprehension she was always kind to me. Prince was very well cared for and whole he was very happy to see his mommy, I could tell he was very comfortable with Rosa. To anyone doing this for the first time, picking Rosa is an easy choice. ”
“Excellent communication! My pup was given lots of love and attention. He is a shy dog and Lynnea's strong understanding of dogs helped him to quickly adjust to this home away from home. I highly recommend her!”
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“Amber was great with Kipper! Great communicator, very attentive and welcoming. Her home is set up wonderfully for any pet and I felt completely comfortable leaving him there overnight. She was awesome!”
“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!”
“Cassandra went above and beyond for my pup. She kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout her care. My pup was unwell while in her care, and I sent her some items that she happily gave to my dog to help her feel better. She even washed her blankets and bathed her. I would definitely hire her again!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Brenda. During the meet and greet, it became obvious she is very knowledgeable and caring. She communicated quickly and well throughout the process. This was my first time using a petsitter and I would have no hesitation using Brenda’s services again.”

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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pottsville on Rover is $36.63 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 235 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Pottsville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Pottsville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
