“Jaideep and his family were prompt, professional, and took excellent care of my elderly dog in their home. I asked for periodic updates and photos of my pup and received several throughout each day showing Torch getting care per my instructions and looking happy and well cared for. Jaideep's home is comfortable and safe for my dog with a fence-enclosed back yard. I won't hesitate to book with Jaideep again.”
“She was great! Luna was having some digestive issues while we were out of state, she went above and beyond to make sure Luna was okay until we got back. Thank you again!”
About: I have a deep love and compassion for animals, and caring for them brings me true joy and fulfillment. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply spending time with them, I find great purpose in making sure they feel safe, healthy, and loved. I enjoy learning about their unique behaviors and needs, and I take pride in being gentle, patient, and responsible. I work part time under 20 hours a week which allows me to take care of my babies and allows to me to take care of yours as well. every animal is unique and each requires different needs. whether it be diet restriction to different toys they like the most. the most important thing is making sure your pet is comfortable around me and to make it as easy as possible for your pet to enjoy being with someone else that they are not used to yet.
“Rosa & her kids show my dog nothing but love every trip. Shes accomadating even when its last minute and always sends me pics & videos of my dog. I only use her on Rover now. Thank Rosa!!”
“What I appreciate the most about Emily and her pet sitting is that she's super flexible when it comes to my "fluid" schedule! She's always so cheerful when I bring my dogs to stay with her, and they both love staying at the farm, whether it's for a doggie daycare visit or weekend/ overnight stay!! Thanks to Emily, and her family, I feel my babies are safe and well cared for while I'm away.”
“Alex was Phenomenal with our sweet girl! We constantly got updates, pictures and videos of our baby girl having a blast. Georgie didn't want to leave when it was time to go haha. I 100% recommend Alex and we will for sure be using her services again.”
“Dannah and her dog Elphie are the best sitters! Dannah is very communicative and trustworthy. My dog is now best buddies with Elphie. She gets lots of exercise and attention when she stays with them. I always feel my dog is safe and well cared for. Dannah sends daily photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling together!”
“Just picked up my baby boy from Laura’s house and we were thrilled with the level of care she provided. Her compassion, understanding, and love for fur babies is amazing. She sent videos and/or pics every day to keep us at ease. This was our second time working with her and there will definitely be a third. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Immediately felt good about leaving our dog, Tucker with Lynnea. She kept me updated with pictures the whole time we were gone and was always quick to respond when I messaged her. Perfect place to leave your dog and not have to worry they are being taken care of.”
“Emily was very kind and kept me updated on my dog while he was under her care. I wasn’t very happy that the other dog she was sitting chewed up my dogs bed a bit but other than that everything was great.”
“Diba and her roommate were lovely guardians for my pup. They kept me informed while I was away and my dog obviously loved being in their home. I am very grateful to have found them and now have a safe caring environment to board her when needed. Highly recommended!”
“Very happy with the care Seneca received from Karter. She must have had a great time playing with their Shepherd puppy. Seneca is much stronger now after her stay with them. We plan on using Karter M. again in the future. Thanks again Darice”
“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.”
“Emily was great with our 2 boys!!! You could see the happiness when I came to pick them up. They got to spend time at the campground which I’m sure they loved and they got treats. We got pictures. It was great 10 out of 10 Thank you Emily!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 9 years old, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I grew up with the sweetest Saint Bernard and have had 5 adorable kitties over the years. I like to call myself a professional cat entertainer. In 2023, I finally got my own fur baby who is spoiled rotten and my favorite thing in the world. I pet and house sit regularly for my friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even some horses. Sometimes that means staying overnight because one pup has bad separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable giving extra love and attention. Cats might be my favorite to work with but I love all cuties just the same! I’m working full time and right now, I get off work around 2:30pm. I am available for 30 minutes during the work day on my lunch break and during the afternoon/ nights. I have a large back yard and fenced in pool area for dogs with lots of room in the house for laying, playing, or exploring. I currently do not own a dog so any visiting dogs should bring with their favorite toys for extra entertainment. I am not living in a development but have plenty of walking trails in close proximity, including Big Boyd’s Tree Preserve, Front Street, Fort Hunter, and Wildwood Park. There are 3 cats living in the house who have been acclimated to dogs. We have separate rooms for visiting cats to stay with extra litter boxes, scratching posts, an abundance of toys, and a few humans to play with and love on.
About: I have had pets since childhood and we've had them all: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards...and I want to take care of yours, too. I can handle everything from puppies to senior animals. I am currently a part-time writing tutor so I have time to walk dogs and feed cats and critters. Being a writer makes my schedule flexible and perfect for pet-sitting. If an animal is in my home, you can trust that it will be safe and cared for with love. I have a nice little yard for running around and plenty of room to explore and relax.
About: I have taken care of family/friends' pets for more than 10 years. I have 4 fur babies of my own, so you can trust that I will treat them like they are mine. I am free in the morning for walks/visits, as well as, in the afternoon. I work from home so I don't have to drive to and from work. I have a fenced yard. I want the pet to feel at home. I have no problem with the pet sleeping on the bed or being around the house.

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.

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.
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.
98% of sitters in Rough and Ready can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Rough and Ready 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 Rough and Ready.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rough and Ready. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Rough and Ready 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
