“We never leave our dog with anyone but family. Since all our family needed to be at our wedding we needed someone to watch Carl. Jim’s property is perfect for animals. Jim treated him like family. He was even allowed on the couch! Jim sent us pictures to show how Carl was relaxing. We recommend using Jim.”
About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.
“My dog Miso had a wonderful time with Miss Holly! She came home happy, relaxed and tired. :) She clearly enjoyed herself. I had a meet and greet before scheduling and was able to meet Holly in person as well as her dogs. She has a dog friendly home and I was very comfortable that this was the right place to bring my Miso. While I was away, Holly provided updates to assure me all was going well, along with pictures. Holly was flexible in the scheduling when I made last minute adjustments and was just wonderful and caring with my dog. Holly seems to truly enjoy caring for dogs while their owners are away. She was very quick to respond to my questions and I was able to trust her completely. I will not hesitate to bring Miso there again in the future. Highly recommended!! Thank you Holly!!!”
“Dawn is excellent! She was recommended by a friend and we were so pleased with the stay. We have 2 dogs with very different personalities, a bolder big dog who loves the outdoors vs a smaller house-centered dog that is cautious and timid. Dawn was comfortable with both personalities and within a day, the timid dog was thriving. The fenced in yard is great and she gave us frequent updates with pictures. It was a great experience!”
“This is the second time that Kenzie stayed with Kathy and we plan to have her return in the future. Kathy is super nice, very flexible with the drop off and pick up times, really cares about the dogs and has a great space for them.”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“Thomas was awesome! He was very patient with Willie. He is a puppy so it can be challenging. He sent me pictures which put me at ease since this was the first time I left him for a few days. I will definitely recommend Thomas.”
“Tania was amazing and my pet Daisy liked her very much . She sent daily updates and took my girl on long walks which she loves . When picking her up I saw her tail going nuts and that showed how much my pet liked her. She in fact offered her a toy that Daisy picked up when she was in her care . Thank you very much for the affection you showed towards my girl.”
About: I have had pets all my life, and I truly love caring for and looking after them because being around animals brings me happiness, comfort, and a strong sense of joy every day. I’m free most of the day. I only work at night only for a couple hours and would love to take care of any fluffy friends. I would treat your pets like my own babys. Always keep a watch on them, feed them, walk them,play with them, and clean them
About: Experienced vet tech that would care for your pet like my own. I've worked with animals of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years. Able to care for your pet in the early morning, afternoon and evening. I know the importance of keeping a routine for our furry friends. I will always ensure a safe and cozy environment for your pet. Keeping doors and gates shut at all times. I treat each pet and home as if it were my own because I want you to have "peace of mind" while you are away.
“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!”
“Natalie and her family accommodated us for a last minute boarding for our Cavapoo. We appreciated the pictures and excellent communication. We will definitely book with Natalie again.”
“Damaris is an incredible person and the best dogsitter I’ve ever known. I was very nervous (paranoid, really) trying to find someone I trusted with my doggie child & best friend. Just speaking with her I knew she was a kind & loving person so I took the risk. She exceeded my highest hopes! My dog is happier with Damaris than with me! WTH? She never made me feel crazy wanting updates, sent constant details & photos and I knew that she really understood and LOVED my dog. I do a lot of rescue & I’ve had less than great experiences with dog-sitters so I don’t make this recommendation lightly. Damaris is a dream come true and I think my pup can’t wait for me to get out of town again! ? Added bonus, she has an incredibly loving family who stepped in & gave her more attention & love than she’s ever known. If you’re lucky enough to book her, just know that your pet may not want to come back home hahaha”

“Nan and her family did a wonderful job caring for our dog while we were away. Nan sent photos and updates regularly, and our dog seemed happy spending time with her family and other dogs. I would highly recommend her!”

We have used Liceth for years! The proof that our dogs love it with her is that the moment we pull onto her road the dogs get SO excited and they literally run off with her at drop off! Thank you for always loving our fur babies and taking such good care of them! See you next time!
Cera was amazing with my puppy. He isn't even a year old yet and this was his very first time away from us. He was timid at first and Cera was always communicating how he was doing and sending pictures. I felt so good leaving him with someone that loves him like her own. I would trust Cera with any furry friend. She was absolutely amazing!
Kanija was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Jade and Raia! From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable and loved. She treated them like they were part of her own family, and they truly felt at home. Her communication was outstanding throughout their stay. She kept us updated regularly, always sending thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Seeing how happy and relaxed Jade and Raia were made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Kanija is incredibly attentive, caring, and trustworthy, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
We were very rude in that we didn't drop her off and pick her up on time. Fernando was very accommodating and kind to our change up! He sent us plenty of pictures and updates letting us know she was settling in and made sure she had eaten breakfast. He took our booking last minute and responded extremely quickly. He is a little higher than the other dog watchers but the peace of mind is worth it to me. 10/10 would book again. Suki comes back tired and happy!

There are 772 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Reading. About 93% of Reading sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
