“We had a wonderful experience with Megan and Vincent! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy and consistent, and we could tell Freya was happy, comfortable, and well cared for every day - we loved seeing the photos each day! When our travel plans changed unexpectedly, they were incredibly understanding and flexible and were able to keep her for additional time, which made a stressful travel situation so much easier. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. We highly recommend them and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Krista was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I had a last minute trip out of town and I she accommodated me. Thanks Krista! She showed my lil man so much love and attention and sent lots of pictures. Definitely recommend her!!!”
“Genalind and the whole family were great with my dogs.. will definitely book with her again. Great pictures and keeping me posted with my dogs all day.. We loved that.. thank you so much”
“Amy took excellent care of my dog. She was very nice and welcoming. She sent pictures of my dog and communicated well. Would recommend her and her husband to anyone!”
“Michael went above and beyond taking care of our dog when we were away on vacation. He got sick the night before we dropped him off. We told Michael about it when we arrived and he was more than willing to take care of him. Turns out that our dog had a what appeared to be a partial blockage. Michael without hesitation was willing to take him to our vet to be diagnosed. He then faithfully gave him his medication all while communicating everything with us. We are more than grateful. Thank you Michael!”
“Tara is wonderful. You can immediately tell that she loves dogs. She took very good care of my Beau. I like the way she asks questions about what your fir baby needs and she is very accommodating. I plan to use her again within the next month.”
“Kaylee is phenomenal! Leaving our dogs is always anxiety inducing because we want to make sure they are loved the way we love them, Kaylee was able to work with us even when we needed to change up the reservation a little bit due to changes with our plans. Her communication is incredible and she responded almost immediately anytime I sent a message. She loved our dogs like they were her own and they were so happy at the end of the stay that we immediately knew anytime we are looking for someone to watch our dogs, Kaylee will be our first call. If you need someone that will go above and beyond, take care of your dogs the way you want them to be cared for and know your in the best hands ever, Kaylee is your girl!”
“My dog has had the same sitter for 14 years, so I was concerned about how he would adapt to a new person and setting. Grace was wonderful with him. She followed his schedule and routine. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and happy. Grace kept me informed about how he was doing with messages and pictures. I will definitely use Grace again.”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“Becky took care of our dog for a week while we were out of town. She is amazing and took great care of our dog. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which made my son super happy. Our dog had a great time!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Foxy was great with my two dogs. She provided pictures and updates. Lincoln has separation anxiety, and she knew how to calm him, to the point that he owned the house. Blitz is a high-energy boy, and I know he kept her busy. This was a last-minute booking instead of the kennel at the vet - So glad the boys had a great vacation too!”
“Alexandra and her family took amazing care of our sometimes nervous dog bella and sent her back to us as happy as we left her. As caring and competent a dog sitter as you'll find.”

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 Safe Harbor 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 Safe Harbor.
<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 Safe Harbor 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.
