“Lorraine does an amazing job. She is so sweet and kind. I have taken my boy to other sitters where he seemed to be anxious right off the bat. With Lorraine he immediately was calmed by her presence. She is one of the best rover sitters in my opinion and I highly recommend. Thank you again Lorraine. :)”
“Debbie is amazing and has the BIGGEST heart when it comes to dogs, and their owners! Her and her husband loved and cared for my dog like he was their own. I will always be grateful for his stay with her!❤️”
“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.”
“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!”
“Deb was wonderful with our Bernedoodle, Crosby. He seemed very happy and comfortable in her home and she seemed to love him back. We felt very happy to leave him in her good hands. She kept us updated with pics and videos while we were away which made it even better!”
“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.”
“This was our first trip away from our little princess Luna. After several searches and attempts to find the right sitter, we came upon Megan. She responded almost immediately after we sent the request. From the first introduction, through Luna’s stay with Megan and her family, we felt we found the perfect person to watch Luna while we were away. Megan sent daily updates and photos which put our minds at ease. If you are looking for someone to watch your dog, Megan is the person you should book!”
“Kira came in clutch after another sitter booked many months in advance cancelled last minute. This wasn’t a short stay but a 10-day booking. She took good care of Charlie and as usual, he came home super happy after his dogcation.”
“First time using Rover and with Andrew and Chelsea I hit the jackpot!! Beautiful home and land for my Lab/mix to run and play. From our meet and greet to picking up Macy at the end of her stay everything was perfect! Thank you Andrew & Chelsea. I would definitely board with them again.”
“Lynnea was perfect! Our 11 year old Airedale terrier has never been away from home. This was the first time we needed a sitter. I was extremely anxious about leaving her, but, I realized pretty quickly Lynnea was the best sitter I could have asked for. She sent daily pictures of Annie, she genuinely wanted Annie's stay to be safe and non-stressful for her and she achieved that with her personal attention to Annie. Thank you!”
“Tristan and his wife were excellent sitters for our dogs. They loved playing with Roo, and had a little vacation on their own while we were away. I would 100% have them take care of our puppers again. Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“Our experience was excellent! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone new, but Mollie is so warm and welcoming our little guy had no hesitation going with her. She provided frequent updates and was communicative, helpful, and reliable. We have already recommended Mollie to our friends and will continue to do so! You can tell Mollie loves what she does, and her caring and kind nature shines through in every interaction. We know when our pup is with Mollie he is safe and loved like her own. We will definitely be booking again!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog Benji with someone outside of our family, so we were a little nervous. But Liceth completely put our minds at ease! From the very start, she was so kind, patient, and understanding with Benji. He can be a little unsure in new environments, but she found ways to make him feel safe and comfortable right away. Liceth kept us updated every day with pictures and videos, which meant the world to us. Seeing how happy and relaxed Benji was made it so much easier to enjoy our time away. You can tell she truly loves what she does and cares for every pet as if they were her own. We’re beyond grateful for her and will definitely be using her again — and recommending her to all our friends with pets! 💛🐾”
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time, never had a period of time where I was not around dogs. I've raised them from birth to passing away. I love playing with them, caring for them, being there for them and providing love to them. I love going for walks in the parks, around development, etc. Whatever the pup/dog likes to do is fine with me, I have a lot of history with them so I'd be more than happy to provide for any dog! I do have a lot of references just not on rover, they can be provided upon speaking/meeting! I am very accommodating and can stick to your pets schedule as close as possible to yours! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed for care. For example, pets needing strict medicine schedule. I do work during the day but am available with notice! I can provide drop in visits, pet taxi to groomers or vets, dog parks, etc. Cages would need to be provided especially for multiple pets while I am out of the home. Pets have full range of the home. We have gates for the stairs at top and bottom!
“Dane and Kayla were awesome with my pup. I got updates during his stay and he seemed to be getting love and attention as if he were at home. I will happily have my boy stay with them again knowing he will be safe and sound.”
“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 👏”

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.
