“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”
“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”
“Christopher took Everest on a bunch of walks and fun adventures! I can definitely tell she loves being dropped off with him and I have no concerns that she won’t be taken care of when I leave her with Christopher!”
“Glenda is so wonderful! She has become my go to sitter for my new rescue. She has been both flexible and communicative about coordinating scheduling and sends cute photo updates throughout the day.”
“Madeline has been great with Doi. She kept on updating me with pictures. Doi had a bit of Diarrhea but she took care of him like her own pups. I will definitely be back. Thanks!”
“I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different kinds of animals since I was a teenager. I worked at a zoo in England for a summer when I was a bit younger and from then, I grew a genuine passion for animals. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to provide lots of attention to your dog. I also walk routinely in the morning, evening, and anytime in between. I do not have any pets that live with me so it will just be myself and your dog. I will usually only have 1 dog at a time unless the dogs already know each other or live together.
“Devon was amazing! She looked after our highly anxious dog for a full day and made sure she felt comfortable and had a great time. Would definitely book again!”
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.
“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!”
“Londyn was very responsive & Jack enjoyed his stay! She communicated wonderfully with texts & pics. Was a great location for our stop in Philly to visit independence Hall & Reading Terminal Market! Would highly recommend!”
“Pat was very patient with both Sammy and myself, especially in trying to find his apartment! I had a very stressful day and kept getting confused. Sammy was a rescue with a horrible background and Pat was very careful handling him. Pat took him out for walks several times and Sammy loved being out on his patio! Pat sent several updates and pictures of Sammy during the day. Will be using him every time I go into Philly for my medical appointments.”
“I did a meet and greet with Samantha and her resident dog, and I immediately knew that my little puppy would be safe and in good hands with her. She understands dog behavior and we watched and made sure that my dog would be nice to her sweet dog. The next day I dropped my doggie for some doggy daycare and as to be expected, he seemed a little nervous when I left him, and Samantha reassured me that after a few minutes, he would be fine -and he was. Just like other reviewers have noted when I went to pick up my little guy he did not seem to want to go home with me. He let me know with his body language that he was very happy and having fun. Samantha and her partner are genuine “dog people”. My dog is very selective with men and he immediately showed affection towards Samantha‘s boyfriend. They have the knowledge and patience you’re looking for.”
“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.”
“Cailey was great! She responded to our request for dog sitting on very short notice and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. We felt very comfortable leaving Gnocchi with her. While sitting, she sent frequent updates with pictures and explanations of activities, making us feel at ease and able to relax and enjoy our day and evening. Gnocchi clearly had a great time. If we visit the area again, we would certainly book with Cailey, and would highly recommend her to others. Thank you again Cailey and Co.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Schuylkill
I am so grateful Janie was willing to look after my dog after an emergency! I was looking for a sitter who would be willing to bring my dog to an emergency vet in the unlikely event that he showed symptoms that would need immediate medical attention, and Janie was gracious enough to take on the duty. She is very communicative and sent updates throughout the day. My dog is so happy and comfortable in her care!
Janelle was wonderful with Whiskey! She accommodated him on short notice, was very kind, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. I could tell she treated him with lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Toni is an incredible care taker and communicator!! She was available and flexible for a last minute booking and was able to accommodate an early morning/long day for my dog. She sent detailed and adorable updates and showered my dog with love. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her services!
Ronon came home happy and relaxed from daycare at Sean's place, so I know he had a good time. (He has separation anxiety and big feelings, so if he's been stressed or unhappy when we're apart, it's pretty obvious.) Sean has a great, chill vibe and was very attentive to everything I told him about Ronon before his first visit. I will definitely book daycare with Sean again!
I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!
Ariella was such a wonderful sitter! She was so patient and understanding of my very anxious dog. With a nervous dog, it can be stressful leaving her with someone new for the first time since you never know how it’s gonna go, but Ariella provided regular updates, which was much appreciated and put me so much more at ease. I would absolutely book another visit for my dog with Ariella next time the opportunity arises!
I had a wonderful experience with James. He was kind, responsive, and accommodating with every suggestion and request I had, which made me feel very comfortable leaving Pilgu in his care. The best part was seeing how willingly Pilgu went with him at drop-off. He didn’t hesitate at all—which was reassuring… although I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that he didn’t even look back at me! 😂 It’s clear he made him feel safe and comfortable. I truly appreciated the updates and the care he gave him. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
Shae was able to accomodate my pup Kaia last-minute for dog-sitting (requested the morning of) and was communicative throughout the entire process. She was so patient and kind with Kaia, who started out a little nervous, but was able to quickly win her over. I would recommend Shae to any pet owner who wants only the best care for their animals! Thanks Shae!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Schuylkill on Rover is $42.8 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,449 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,449 sitters in Schuylkill, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
