“Roberto was the best! Our golden loved staying with him and his pups. We also got beautiful pictures of her living it up! Definitely will be calling again.”
“Our dog Pinta loved staying with Eric and his wife. They were super communicative with us and took her on lots of walks even in the snow and very cold temperatures. It was clear that our pup received a lot of love! We will definitely reach out to them again when we need a sitter.”
“Chazz is amazing! I have a stubborn Husky mix who will pancake and refuse to move haha and Chazz handled her with impressive expertise and care. My girl is a bit shy but just loves Chazz, and he's so reliable and flexible. He really put my mind at ease.”
“Virginia was an amazing Rover for our 2 dogs, Cleo and Louis! They seemed incredibly comfortable and loved in their few days with her. Virginia sent us photos and made sure to keep us updated on how they were doing.”
“Wonderful stay as always. Christopher always makes our dog comfortable and happy and we are consistently texted photos and updates on how our fur baby is doing. I absolutely trust Christopher with my high maintenance dog and enjoy leaving my dog with him, knowing my dog will be spoiled and happy!”

“Nicole kept me in the loop the whole time she watched Bella, sending lots of pics and answering questions as needed. I was really nervous about leaving my dog for the first time but just hours later, I felt completely reassured when I got updates and pics. She had such a great time playing with her new friends and came back exhausted. We’d definitely bring Bella to stay over again.”
“Katya was wonderful all around! Very responsive, friendly and responsible! Rosie loved her from the first moment she met Katya! I got plenty of messages and pictures of their day together and all went really smoothly! I would definitely book with Katya again!”
“Angela was fabulous! Quick to respond when we initially reached out, happy to book a meet and greet and sent us lots of great photos of our pup while we were out of town. Very kind and trustworthy- would recommend!”

About: I grew up with a male Shih Tzu that I took care of for most of my life! I enjoyed playing with him and taking him on walks. I've also helped my sister raise her female Shih Tzu. I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I have a light class load this semester and a good amount of free time. If your pet requires a specific schedule please let me know ahead of time. I love interacting with dogs and spending time with them. I am very active and have a lot of free time, so playing with them will be no problem for me. I live near Clark Park and the Schuylkill River so I can take active dogs on long walks.
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“I have never felt so secure leaving my babies with someone else! Aubrey is thorough, caring, informed, and trustworthy!! My 6y and 6m dogs had a blast and I could not be happier 🤩”
“Juliana was truly a godsend, I can’t imagine leaving Milton with anyone else, she took amazing care of him, sent us photos and updates everyday and truly made it feel like he was staying with extended family ❤️ she treated him like one of her own dogs and we will absolutely be using her for all of our future trips!”
“Deena was very good with my little guy..he can be anxious and nervous and she was so good with him. She sent updates and cute little pictures of him. Knowing my little boy was safe and well taken care of made my trip go very smooth❤️”
“Shakira is amazing. She is so friendly and takes wonderful care of my dog Stella. She sends updates and pictures throughout the day and gave Stella lots of love and attention. Shakira is really responsive on rover and is always right on time when I drop Stella off or pick her up. Shakira even gave Stella a bath so she came home smelling great.”
“Katie was such a fantastic sitter. She was so reasonably priced, kind, caring, flexible, considerate, and communicative. I could go on forever about how marvelous Katie was. I was last minute looking for a sitter for New Year's Eve weekend and she was available, and I am so glad I chose to book her. I would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat! She took awesome care of my puppy, Walter, for the few days I was unable to be home with him. I received plenty of text updates and pictures from Katie of my dog and even pictures of him getting along with her dogs as well. Her dogs and mine took such a liking to each other during his stay, I felt bad taking him back home! She followed my usual routine with him and had great patience for his puppy antics. I would say she even made some progress with him and his housebreaking which is amazing. Katie really went above and beyond, she even was willing to come pick up my dog from my apartment the first day. I couldn't have been more grateful for Katie as a dog sitter. Walter and I look forward to having her sit for us again! Thank you again, Katie! :) Book her!!”
“Derek was absolutely amazing! He watched our Frenchie for a long weekend. We wish he lived closer because we would hire him all of the time. His communication was the best before during and afterwards. We felt comfortable and knew Homer was getting such great love! I don’t think Homer wanted to leave he had the best time. I wish we could give more than 5 stars!”

Alisia was wonderful, she communicated with me throughout the entire stay and made sure I was always updated. You can truly tell she has a genuine love for fur babies and cares about their well being. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter! ❤️🐾
Ginger is my most trusted sitter in the area. Panda has stayed with her many times, and I can always tell that my little dude has had the best time with someone who truly cares for him. I got photo and text updates every day. This most recent stay was just three weeks after Panda’s surgery for intervertebral disc disease, and Ginger went above and beyond to make sure her home setup and his care supported his recovery. Even with his strict activity restrictions and need for close supervision, she handled everything with patience and love. We couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy sitter!
Rebecca and Christopher watched Petunia for 5 days and were incredible. They sent me daily updates with pictures. They knew when she needed some time to warm up and let her be vs when she was ready to play! I met with Rebecca before her stay and it put me at such ease to just talk and have Petunia meet Panda! I was comfortable knowing Petunia will be well taken care of, would recommend and would book again!
Gabi is a STAR! So so grateful for their care- I recieved tons of photos while I was gone, updates and texts. I could tell when I was reunited with my pup that she was well taken care of. Gabi even extended one more day when I was stuck in traffic back home- a lifesaver !!!
Erika helped me out in a last minute crunch right before Halloween weekend. I adopted this puppy less than 2 weeks ago and needed someone who had a really good background so I am glad that she met the quality of her excellent reviews! Hopefully I won't have to separate from baby doggy much but in case I do I will reach out to Erika! Thanks!
Alexis was fantastic! She took great care of my 3 y/o dog Woods while I was away a few days. I really appreciated all the pictures and cute/silly updates without even having to ask. It made me feel at ease to know someone was loving on my dog and handling him with great care while I was away! I will definitely be booking again!
Kerry is such a lovely, patient and caring person and truly shows how much she loves taking care of fur babies. She was very communicative from the start and also did an extended meet and greet/day stay at her house so that my dog and her dog would be compatible. Throughout the boarding, she sent updates and picture of my dog and my dog, being a special needs, was always provided with medication updates. Kerry was extremely sweet to go out of her way to frame a sweet little picture of my pupper when I came to pick her up. I'm so grateful for this experience and Kerry 's pupper is also a sweet boy. I would love to board kizie again with Kerry.
"Tuesday" my 12 year old, 20 lb. Poodle stayed with Renee for 5 days. She was well taken care of and when I picked her up she seemed so happy and energetic. She provided her with a lot more physical activity than I give her. I also got pictures of her walks and overall made me feel confident that she was in good hands. I highly recommend Renee.
Erin and Joe were nice to work with and flexible with pickup and drop off which I appreciated! I’m glad Coco was able to have a fun weekend with her family and she came back to me tired but happy which made me feel good about leaving her with them. Thank you again!
Tu took such amazing care of Zero. He felt comfortable right away which is saying a lot since he is a very shy and anxious dog. We received a ton of updates + photos without even having to ask ❤️ It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and would absolutely recommend Tu to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like their own!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Schuylkill 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 Schuylkill 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 Schuylkill.
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 Schuylkill. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Schuylkill 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.
