About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and would love to help out with your fur baby! I know the challenges of finding trustworthy care so I’m here to help. I currently work from home and teach online which allows extra flexibility to help care for animals through the week. I love dogs and will give extra love and care. No cats please. I can host your small - medium dog or will do drop in visits and walks. I have experience caring for our senior dog and recently said goodbye to him. 💔
“Kristin stayed in contact with me the whole time Rizzo stayed with her. She sent me daily pictures, and answered any questions I had about his stay, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Ashauna was the best dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, and kept us updated all the time, and sent multiple pictures daily. I never worried once about him, because I knew he was in such good hands. She truly has a love for dogs and all animals. If you want someone you can trust with your pet that you love, please don’t hesitate to contact Ashauna, because she will treat your pet like he/she was her own, and give him/her plenty of love, affection, exercise, and care. She was in one word - awesome! And I would not hesitate to have her watch our dog again. N. Wesner”
About: I’ve always grown up around animals and had countless pets throughout my life! I love love love big dogs, but also every other critter I meet! I’ve dealt with puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and picky pets. I’m not scared of messes or hold grudges against pets that aren’t the biggest fans of other people. My goal is just to make sure your pet is comfortable! I’m currently a full-time college student working a few hours each week at the college, so I’m busy most mornings but never for more than a couple hours at a time. I’m usually very free on weekends and can make myself more available during the week if need be. My biggest concern is how comfortable your pet is! So, I’m all for doing whatever they want to do! If your pet loves going on walks, car rides, and outside adventures I’d be more than happy to do so. On the other hand, I’ve dealt with some reactive and picky pets in the past and we still figure out how to have a good time without crossing any boundaries your pet might have. Since I’m in school right now, I am not able to house a dog for sitting. I don’t mind pets with strict diets, exercise routines, medications, or anything of the sort and will make sure they get the care they need.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. We currently have a goldendoodle named Charlie who is our whole world. I love all animals and promise to go above and beyond to meet their needs. I work part time two days a week. I am home full time the other five days of the week. I may or may not accept bookings on the days that I work depending on the needs you are looking for. We currently have a goldendoodle named Charlie! We do have a toddler present in the home with a baby on the way as well. Asking that all dogs you are seeking care for are good with other dogs and small children.

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 Roxbury 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 Roxbury.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Roxbury 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.
