“Our Rusty will not go to many people but on our meet & greet he went right to Lorraine and her husband we knew he had trust in them and that made us very comfortable. He also buddied right up to Koko. On his stay with Lorraine we found that she responded to us instantly with a text when we checked in on him. We feel that it was a very good decision to pick Lorraine as Rusty's sitter and have already scheduled another long weekend with her.”
“Tristan and his family did a great job caring for our dogs while we were away. He sent updates with pictures each day, which was nice to see while we were away. They seemed to have a really great time and we would love to have them stay with Tristan for future trips.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Marlies stay. Tons of communication and pictures. Lots of great buddies to play with. She was so well taken care of. It is wonderful not to have to worry when we are away. We are repeat customers and will book for future vacations. I can’t thank you enough !”
“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.”
“Megan and her family treated our pups like family. We did a meet and greet prior to boarding, and provided her with all of the information on our senior dog, and 6 month old puppy. One is very high energy, the other is not and takes meds daily. Throughout the two day stay, she consistently provided updates with pictures and videos. I would absolutely recommend Megan and will plan to call her again in the future, as needed.”
“Deirdre was amazing. We had a fairly last minute booking and she was able to accommodate our 3 dogs of different energy levels, food, medications, etc. One of our dogs can be a little reactionary but not with Deirdre. Wonderful space and a great yard for them to play in. The dogs came back tired and I swear, a little better behaved, but maybe that was the exhaustion of playing. Would definitely book again and is now our first choice going forward.”
“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 had a great experience with Andrew and Chelsea! They took fantastic care of my dog and provided updates on him throughout my time away. He was a happy pup when I picked him up! I highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Kira was amazing with Charlie and agreed to a week long stay with a semi short notice. She provided updates on her own and when asked. No complaints and would use her services again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Mollie was awesome! We had a wedding to attend a few hours away and we needed her help to watch our dog while we were gone. She gave us updates on our dog and even stayed up late so that we could pick him up that night. We would definitely ask Mollie for help again the next time we need someone to watch him.”
“100% recommended. I felt very calm throughout my trip because JoEllen was in constant communication with me everyday, She always sent me photos and updates on how my dear Ginger was doing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH”
“This was perfect for what I needed. We had no local friends or family that could take our cat. We were going to be away but he couldn't be at the house because we were having work done on it while we were gone. They took our cat into their home. I was surprised to see they had other cats when I arrived. But one question on the survey was if your pet does well with other cats, which he does, but cats tend to not be friendly with new cats initially so I was a bit worried they'd fight, but they had a separate area, a sun room that they allowed Sox to adjust in and during the week they had sent pictures of him being inside the home on the couch so obviously it was fine. I actually never met or dealt with Sarah only her Mom. Which I felt was odd. I was expecting the person pictured, the person I paid. Her Mom was lovely and clearly there were no issues and my cat was returned safely to me, I just felt it was odd the Sarah was sleeping or "resting because she works a lot" both times I was there. I didn't take any stars off my review for that, because again the service accomplished what I needed which was my cat to be cared for outside of my home.”
“Cassandra was OUTSTANDING! I cannot recommend her enough. She cared for my pups while I was on vacation and they were so loved! She sent pictures, snuggled them, and was so calm when any issues came up! She is wonderful!”
“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.”
“Amber did an amazing job with Leo, for our first time using this app it was a great experience. She was great at communicating and went above and beyond for our pup 5/5 stars would definitely recommend”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Pottsville is $45
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.

As of September 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 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.
97% 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.
