“Joe took good care of our pup Poe while we were away. He and Vanessa, his boys, and his dog Pickle all gave Poe a very warm and welcoming reception! He was very attentive to all the care details I communicated, and we appreciated how he sent us lots of photos and videos during her stay. Poe was in great spirits when we picked her up, and we plan on booking with Joe again in the future!”
“Tori was a life savor, she took care of our very anxious and shy cat for the last 4 days. An unexpected trip put us in a true bind, I had reached out rather late in the night..she responded immediately and assured me that Penny will be taken care of and to not worry. It was such a relief! She came home, picked up Penny and shared constant updates thru the week..she was very much in tune with my state of mind as well and reassured me every step of the way that my pet is in good hands. I cannot thank Tori enough. Great communicator, has a lot of experience and is a very caring sitter. I am so relieved I found her and cannot recommend her enough to others.”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
About: I grew up with dogs as pets in our home and I currently have a Labrador. I have over 15 years of dog care experience and would be happy to care of your fur baby and give them a wonderful staycation of their own while you are away. I would love to know about your pet’s daily routine, special needs, exercise requirements , medication and allergy information - please share as much details possible. I can attend to picky eaters - just let me know your fur baby’s likes and dislikes, how they want to be fed. I will be able to follow their daily health supplement , oral medication requirements. I love taking my dog on long walks, trails and your pup will be enjoying the same outdoor activities while staying at my place. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby ! I work remotely and taking care of your pup will fit well in my daily routine as I also have my own fur baby. My calendar is up to date . I have fully fenced in yard and your pets will be safe and well taken care of while at my place. I would love to take your pups for walks, have backyard playtime and running. As a dog mom myself , I completely understand the emotion we go through when leaving our fur babies away and knowing that , I want to assure you that your pup’s emotional and physical security will be my top priority. They will be spoiled with cuddles, hugs and indoor- outdoor relax time as per their liking. The fenced in yard is where they can run and play to their hearts content carefree and I do have lots of outdoor toys for them to enjoy.
“Adrienne is a loving, flexible dog sitter. Her apartment is perfect for dogs. She really puts you at ease with contact while you are on the road. A+”
“Regina took extra care of my baby. She made sure he had plenty of play time and plenty of time outside. She was diligent in sending updates, videos and pictures of my baby playing with the other dogs enjoying himself. I’m extremely pleased with the care and attention Regina showed Winston, and I intend on having her watch him again.”
About: My wife Christa and I both enjoy pets, so we use this app and wag to book walks and occasional pet sittings. We love long walks of 2-3 miles and enjoy walking with dogs since we are out anyways. We have walked over 100 dogs on the wag app and have a 5 star rating. We do this for fun really! We used to have dogs but now we just spoil other dogs. I walk dogs part time and when I am free. I am available in the evenings or weekends and don't mind a little travel to get to your pet. I typically don't board pets in my home, but have watched pets in Pet Parents homes when needed. My preference is walks only but I will watch if needed.
“Skylar and Brandon were wonderful caretakers of my pup for 8 days. They were understanding of my concern for my French bulldog and the heat and were very responsive to any questions I had. They sent daily updates and pictures and I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future.”
About: Having been a dog and cat owner for most of my life, I'm excited to be able to take the love and care that I've provided and share it with your fur baby. I work from home most days, so I am able to spend a lot of time with your dog or cat, including overnights. Feeding, walks, play time, cuddles, general attention. I just want to be your pets new best friend! I love dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I am good with pets that need medication (oral) and that are still being housebroken. Communication is important and my goal is to keep you as updated about your pet as you would like. It is my priority that you, your pet, and myself are safe and comfortable, so meet and greets before any booking are a must. Looking forward to become friends with your favorite animal. I work from home most days of the week, with meetings over Zoom and in person throughout the week. I'm usually not gone from home longer than a few hours at a time. This can be adjusted accordingly. Weekends are not a problem to be there for your animal as needed. When staying at a clients home it is my priority to respect the home owners space. Meeting prior to any overnights is a must to discuss details, learn how your pet behaves at home, and where they are comfortable being in the home. Communication between myself and the pet owner is very important.
“Dara was great! My dog Pepper is always nervous when she stays with a sitter, so I sincerely appreciated Dara's honesty when she told me Pepper seemed nervous during her stay. Overall Pepper did very well and loved running in her fenced yard! Dara always replied quickly and she sent me photos daily :)”
“I absolutely am so grateful I found grace. We were looking a little late around the holidays but thankfully she was able to take my dog in. I was soooooo nervous cause my dog doesn't really get along with other dogs but grace ease her into ot and she eventually ended up playing with some of the dogs???? so worth the drive to her place will definitely use her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels with Lisa. It's clear that she really cares for the dogs. She sent me daily updates and photos or videos. My dogs seem to have had a great time at her house and we will use her again.”
“Gina took good care of our 1yr old puppy - took her on lots of walks, fun outings to breweries, and play times for our energetic girl. Gina was very easy to work with for us as well. She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and went out of her way to coordinate a pick up time when we left some of Lilah's stuff behind.”
“For years I’ve struggled with not having a support system in place to feel at ease when going on vacation with my dog. I may not have a close family to do so but I do have Kasey and Alyssa. These two watched my bulldog Frank and did an amazing job. Cared about all my concerns and over protective dog dad issues. I went to pick Frank up after almost a week away and he loved it so much it was like they were his new family. I have some work to do now to win my dog back over lolol. That says a lot about the care and attention they provided Frank who is part of my family. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. You girls are the best !!!!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and we recommend it 100%! Tristan was awesome with Sadie! We got tons of pictures and she was very responsive. Would recommend her-Sadie came home happy and healthy!”
“Angela and her family are so great! My poppy must have a great time with them. He looks so happy when I picked him up. Also, Angela is very easy to communicate. Thanks so much!”
“Felt so happy knowing my pups were being loved on and having lots of safe fun in the sun! Thank you to LJ and her husband for making the rover process so easy. We look forward to rebooking with them in the future!”

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
