“Mandy and her family has been wonderful for Lala’s first time with them. Lala seems very comfortable with them and we feel she was well look after. Will definitely reach out again to them if we ever need help.”
“As always Jasper loves to be at Debbie’s when we go away. He gets very excited when we turn onto her driveway! She is great and takes very good care of him. Jasper loves his other doggie friends that he gets to play with while he is there. There’s even a picture of him “spooning” with a friend while taking a nap! Adorable! I would highly recommend Debbie to watch your dog!”
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“Crystal and her family watched our Oliver for a long weekend and she did amazing! Lots of photos and updates everyday, and she took great care of him! Will definitely use her again!”
“Amber was amazing with our fur babies. This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with anyone, so we were super nervous. She made us feel so comfortable by assuring us they would be in good hands. For every day they were away from us, she sent us photos and made sure to let us know about their day. Our pups had such a good time. You can tell in the photos, they felt right at home.”
“I can't recommend Megan highly enough! She was the perfect fit for our energetic mini Aussie and I loved all the daily pictures and updates about what Logan was getting up to. We will definitely use Megan again!”
“Celestia and Ryan were absolutely great. They accommodated my last-minute trip and boarded my dog Rocky for two nights and three days. They sent me pictures and videos, which ease my worries. Rocky had the best time. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much Celestia and Ryan.”
“Alexandra always takes such good care of Rosie! Her own dog is such a good host too. Alexandra keeps me updated with fun pictures and videos that show that client dogs settle right into her comfy home. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Lorraine is a God-send. When I say she took really good care of my fur baby, that's exactly how it was. She LOVES pets and it shows. I hit the jackpot with Lorraine and I'm looking forward to her being Waffles' sitter. She's amazing!!”
“Again, Emily came through in a pinch!! My Kass always has a terrific time with Emily and her whole family! So pleased with our choice of pet sitter at Rover.com. Thank you, Emily, for taking such good care of my baby, Kassie!”
“Michaela is very friendly to deal with. She took good care of our pup, and she was communicative about how he was doing and also about any changes in her schedule. She is close by for us, so I'm sure we'll take our dog to her again.”
“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“We needed to arrange this at the last minute and she was very flexible. Sent us an update every couple hours and was very attentive. Very friendly and Sophie had a wonderful time.”
“Winnie's stay with Rosa could not have gone any better. We were a little apprehensive at first because we were afraid Winnie wouldn't feel comfortable, but our worries proved to be just that....merely worries. Rosa was very considerate to Winnie's needs and her feelings. She was also very considerate with us by sending us pictures multiple times a day as well as keeping an open line of constant communication. She was very comforting as well as very professional. We really could not have asked for a better family to watch our Winnie. We would recommend them to anyone.”
About: I’ve gained abundant experience from pet sitting numerous dogs and cats over the past years along with raising our family pets. I have a decently flexible schedule, so I am able to step in on short notice if needed. I graduated from the University of Scranton earning my bachelor's degree in Biology. I also earned my associates in Medical Laboratory Technology at Penn State in 2025. I currently don’t have any pets, but I look forward to adopting a dachshund in the future. I would consider myself an organized and responsible individual. I am able to comfortably recognize an animal's behavior and their needs whether that is giving extra cuddles or just love from a distance. While I am taking care of your pets, your home will be in good hands. My goal is to make your time away from home as stress-free as possible by providing daily, detailed updates. I am looking forward to spending time with your fur babies! - Brittany I currently work day shift at UPMC as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. My schedule is fairly flexible, especially during late evenings and on weekends and holidays! I want your pet to feel comfortable in their own home with a complete stranger. I take my time with each animal learning and accepting their boundaries. My goal is to provide mental stimulation and to give them love while their loved ones are away.

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 Rupert 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 Rupert.
<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 Rupert 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.
