“Chris did an amazing job making sure Rue (who was having some digestive issues the day of day care), was comfortable and supported, and that he fit in well with the other dogs. Thank you so much!!”
“Lauren was terrific! She responded to a last-minute request and was always easy to reach. She sent me photos throughout the day. Remmy can be a little a can be a little anxious, but he clearly warmed up to her fast.”
About: I've been a dog mom for over 13 years! My girl came home with me at just 4 months old, and she's still my whole heart today at 13. She's also taught me more about attentive, compassionate pet care than I ever expected. She's always been reactive, which means I've spent years learning how to read dog behavior, manage stress responses, and create a calm, secure environment. And as she's gotten older, she's developed a number of health issues that have made me comfortable with medications, vet routines, and the kind of patient, watchful care that older or special-needs dogs require. I know from experience how hard it is to leave your dog with someone. The anxiety is real! That's exactly why I take every booking personally. Updates, photos, check-ins, whatever helps you feel at ease, I'm happy to do. I’m available full-time, which means I’m not offering a bare-minimum "place for your dog to sleep." I’m providing in-home, attentive care: - this is my primary job so the dog isn't left alone for 8–10 hours - About 4 potty breaks per day - Feeding your pet meals on their schedule - Playtime - Cuddles and companionship - Medication administration when needed - A relatively consistent routine My schedule has a bit of a unique rhythm: I share custody of my dog, so every other month she's with me, and every other month I have full flexibility at home. On the months she's away, I open up for boarding and daycare in my apartment, in addition to my regular dog walking and drop-in visits. On the months she's with me, I keep walks and drop-ins going so I can still be there for your pup, just in a way that works best for everyone. I am always taking on new clients for dog walking as I am available all the time for that. Especially looking to have more repeat clients who need a routine walking schedule! My apartment is dog-friendly and calm. No chaos, no strangers cycling in and out. When your dog is here, it's just us, and they get my full attention. I'm attentive by nature, and with a reactive dog of my own, I've become someone who genuinely notices and responds to how an animal is feeling. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and honesty. I'll always be upfront with you, respond quickly to messages, and send updates so you know exactly how your pup is doing. I don't take on more dogs than I can genuinely care for. I believe that quality over quantity is always better.
About: I am a lifelong dog lover who has been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I treat every dog like they're my own and look forward to getting to know you and your pup. I love dogs/all animals and have over 12 years of experience caring for my own as well as friend's and family's dogs and other animals. I also worked at Wag for 6 months before moving here to Philadelphia so I have experience with professional dog walking. I truly enjoy the company of pets and I look forward to providing you peace of mind and the utmost in care for you and your four legged family members! I currently have a Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix who absolutely loves meeting new dogs and people, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just a cozy companion while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing adorable moments, so you can expect plenty of cute photo updates while your dog is in my care! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have a dog of my own, so my daily routine naturally includes walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and plenty of attention and affection. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care and ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day. I strive to maintain each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets have a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and opportunities to relax. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: Hi! I'm Leah, a life-long pet lover with years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, hamsters, and birds. I have special experience with large dogs, city puppies, and animals with special needs. I have taken care of both dogs and cats that need to receive medication throughout the day, so I have no problem doing that for any furry friends that need some extra care. I make my own schedule so my availability is very flexible. I am a morning person, so I'm happy to take your pup for early morning walks, runs, play time in the park, or just hangout with them if they need a more relaxing time! I am currently waiting to start law school, so I'm really free all day every day! I'm happy to walk, play, and hang out with your pup any time of day and on short notice. I'm happy to follow any rules, training practices, or special instructions that you have for your pet. I'll always try to replicate how you care for your own pet and will try to keep their routines as familiar as possible.
“Rob was a true life saver when we needed last minute sitter for our puppy Bruce! It was awesome getting pics knowing he was having fun and well taken care of. So happy with Rob’s care!!”
“Abby and Max took such good care of Nori. We received pictures all day long with updates. Nori has a lot of energy and they were so accommodating and even took her to the dog park. Nori also loved hanging out with their dog Opal. Thanks again Abby and Max!”
About: I’ve had a dog(s) since childhood and don’t envision a life without one. I have volunteered with shelters ranging from domestic pets to safari animals. I have a lot of love for animals to give! I work from home and have flexibility throughout the day to accommodate your pets needs. Central to several parks and grass space, I enjoy getting outside as much as our pets do! I have a small fenced garden with mulch beds for quick/urgent potty breaks. I have a friendly 5 year old Dalmatian that likes to play and cuddle to keep your pet company!
“Jake was an ideal sitter for my Charlie. He had the biggest smile on his face after spending a fun-filled afternoon and evening with Jake. Thanks again!”
“My Dog Scottie just loves Donte. This week Scottie got so excited after the first day with Donte. Every time I pulled out Scottie’s leash he knew he was going with Donte and get so excited rushing to the door. Donte is my new dog sitter anytime I need one for sure. Thank you soooo much”
About: As the proud owner of a Chihuahua and Shiba Inu mix, I have a deep appreciation for canine boundaries and body language! My own dog prefers his personal space and isn't a fan of meeting new dogs or people, which has taught me how to be a strong advocate for a pup's comfort and safety in public. Because of this, I am highly attentive to subtle stress signals and always let new furry friends warm up to me entirely at their own pace. I never force interaction. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or a sensitive soul who needs someone to respect their boundaries and advocate for them on walks, I will ensure they feel safe, respected, and completely understood. I juggle part-time work and veterinary assistant studies, which actually leaves my schedule wide open and flexible to care for your dog! This makes me highly available for mid-day potty breaks, weekday walks, and open to last-minute booking requests. I am easily available for dedicated overnight house-sitting and extended daytime companionship. I offer a low-stress, highly secure environment where your dog's well-being comes first. My home features a fully fenced-in backyard for safe exercise and built-in entertainment like bird and squirrel watching. When house-sitting, I maintain your dog's exact routine in the comfort of their own environment. I follow strict supervision and home security protocols, keep you updated with daily photos, and ensure your house is left perfectly clean.
“Absolutely recommend. Zyiana & Jayda are so loving and gave my little pup a ton of attention. They shared pictures and updates throughout Ruby's stay and kept me super relaxed leaving her for the first time. Thank you both for giving Ruby Moon so much love and attention!”
“Erin and her husband were excellent. We’re from Boston and needed our baby to be taken care of for a few hours. They’re very responsive, frequently make updates and my dog was very happy when we picked him up.”
About: I have been caring for all kinds of animals on Rover for almost 8 years now, and got my start even younger at 12 when I started my own neighborhood dogwalking business. I’ve worked for dozens of pet owners on Rover for the past few years and have loved getting to know so many little characters! I’m not in a position to get my own pet right now, so Rover has been an awesome way to get quality time with animals. I work seasonally at a wildlife refuge, but my current position ends on November 6th so starting then I’ll have full time availability for pet sitting! I live in a big apartment in West Philly with my partner who also loves animals (she works seasonally with wildlife!) We have a small fenced backyard that often goes unused. We have no pets in our apartment, but the downstairs neighbor has a dog that your pet will likely never see, but may smell or hear. Starting November 6th, my seasonal position at the urban wildlife refuge comes to a close and I will have full availability for River pets! That means I can work my schedule around you and your pets’ needs and be available for animals that need more time and attention. I have a small fenced in backyard for quick breaks and a private apartment with no other pets or children. I’m active, a hiker, and love long walks - would love if your pet could join!
“I cannot recommend Janelle as a dog sitter enough! She took excellent care of my 11 month old puppy and made her feel right at home. I received regular updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while at work. She allowed flexibility with pick up which was incredibly helpful with my job. She goes above and beyond!”
“Alex was very responsive and able to accept a last minute request. He sent pictures as promised and Rosie was calm and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Alex again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Schuylkill
Theo had a great time with Erika and we really appreciate her time and care!! She was super accommodating and flexible with a last minute booking, and worked with our schedule. She made sure Theo felt comfortable and safe and was so great at communicating, sending photos, and being thoughtful with Theo's feeding instructions. I think Theo had a great relaxing time, would def book again :)
Peyton was such a wonderful sitter for Theo!! I have been needing a sitter for my bubs while we adjust to a new apartment, and Peyton was so accommodating with our schedule, send photos and helpful communication, and was so kind and gentle with Theo (even offered him a pup cup <3). I'm so appreciative for Peyton's care, Theo had a lovey time :)
Sharan was great with Maple. This was Maples first visit and she seemed to settle in nicely. Sometimes Maple can be very skittish and nervous. She did great with Sharan. Sharan kept me updated throughout the day and by the time we got home, Maple was very relaxed. We will definitely book again with Sharan.
I am new to the area and was desperate for a last minute sitter while I was out at work after my dog’s separation anxiety flared after our move! I was hoping to find a sitter to provide daycare / sitting to help Theo in the transition, and was so so appreciative to find Alice. She’s super communicative, accommodating with my schedule changes, and took care to keep to Theo’s food and walk schedule (even when he was still post move nervous and not eating). She took care to do a same day meet and greet and let our dogs walk together, and made Theo feel at ease and at home and comfortable in her space. I loved the photos and fun videos and it made me feel so at ease that Theo was relaxing and in a warm caring environment while I was away. Super recommend Alice and would def book again 💛
Catherine was fantastic with my little Jasper. Jasper felt right at home in her house and I didn’t have a single worry when he was with her. She even used some of the pet food she happened to have when I forgot mine!I highly recommend her for your pet for daycare! Will definitely use her services in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Schuylkill is $43 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per day. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,473 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Schuylkill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Schuylkill commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of November 2026, there are 2,473 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of PA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
