About: I'm Dana! I've cared for and owned dogs for the last 15 years. I currently own a Corgi (Jay), he's 10 months old. I have owned an English Mastiff (Smalls) and Cane Corso (Rex) in my adult years. I'm able to play, feed, walk, run with your dog! Give me the instructions and allow me to do the rest. I am currently building a clientele for pet sitting. I am transitioning from office work to a new path. I have a flexible schedule and the pets with align with my daily routines smoothly. I have a basement apartment with an outside in and out entrance to the back yard where your pet may use the restroom, roam on a tied line and a quiet residential neighborhood. I have two sons, 18 and 9, who are big time animal lovers. Your pet will get good play time in with a generous amount of hands on care. Crates are recommended for their own alone time and rest needed. I have a 10 month old Corgi as well, he is adventurous, loves the wooded trails we walk and is always excited when a "friend" comes over.
“Kristen just cared for our geriatric, high maintenance cat who has some health issues a second time. She was great again - clear communication, administered daily medication, sent photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Left a review before and nothing has changed, Stephanie is great and took amazing care of my ball of energy, Titan. Sent me pictures of him to make me feel comfortable and updated very often. Will continue to return to Stephanie for any sitting needs in the future.”
“Kara takes such great care of my dogs and they felt comfortable with her right away. Thank you for all of the updates and pictures, playing endless fetch with them and for giving them so much love. You are amazing!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I LOVE dogs! I’ve cared for puppies up to seniors for the past 20 years. I only take care of 1 family at a time for individual attention. I have trained many dogs just for the fun of it. I just moved back to my hometown of Meadville after 30 years in FL. This will be my full time job, so there will an abundant amount of love & time for me to give. This is my job. I’m not working anywhere else presently, so the pets get my undivided attention. My schedule is very open to accommodate you & your pets. I have a large home with a fenced in yard. I have room for crates if that is your preference. I also have historic livestock doors in my home which are perfect for the pets. I do not have any pets presently.
“First time I ever left my dog, Ellie with anyone other than family members. While I was initially apprehensive, Mary was the best dog caregiver I could have found and quickly put me at ease. She obviously loves dogs and Ellie was wonderfully care for and treated like a member of Mary’s family. Mary is kind, knowledgeable and highly organized. I recommend her without reservation.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Riceville home-away-from-home, 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 Riceville.
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 Riceville 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 , 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 .
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.
