“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”

“Madeline was amazing and her house is so cute and dog friendly. She was very communicative while our pup was staying with her. Absolutely plan on having her sit Barkley again!”
“I left my dog in Tim’s care for the day to attend a very important event, but was a bit concerned as my dog was clearly a bit off that morning. Tim was understanding, asked all the right questions, and I left assured that my Tim would keep me updated as needed. All went well, and I again appreciated the loving care Tim provided!”
About: Hi, there! I'm Alisia. I understand and respect that it is a struggle to leave your pet in the care of a new person. I will do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable in my care. I've been taking care of dogs and cats for over 15 years. I make sure they get the exercise they need, keep their water bowls full, and their tummies happy. I am immune to the puppy dog eyes and cat meows, and I fall hard for tummy rubs! I have worked for a doggy day care and boarding business for over 5 years and volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the years. Your fur baby will be very safe and well looked after. I am a full time pet sitter and I love what i do, I love watching dogs. My home is fairly large so there is plenty of room for dogs to run and play. I have a amazing 3 years old 7 pound beautiful little female Yorkshire named Brooklyn💕 She loves dogs of all sizes and she's extremely lovable and playful. I am available 7 days a week. I have a passion for animals, I provide reliable and compassionate care for your fur baby. For added peace of mind, I absolutly love to provide owners with regular photo updates. I love to spoil my new friends with a toy or treat. If there is anything specific you would not like your pet to have, please let me know. I offer a warm, kid free, homey environment where your dog becomes part of the family, not just a guest. Every stay is customized to your pup's needs, whether they're playful or laid-back. I give round-the-clock care, love, and attention. Also I provide bottled water at all times. I clean, whip down and sanitize daily ensuring your fur baby will always have a clean blanket to lay with. I have no kids so I love spending time and spoiling my fur nieces and nephews 😍 Thanks so much for booking with me Alisia🐾💓 As a full time pet sitter i offer open availability seven days a week, I'm very flexible making pet care the main focus of my schedule. Whether it's overnight boarding or daytime daycare, your pet gets my full attention and a consistent, stress-free routine. I provide constant supervision and comfortable spaces for relaxing.

“Alex was great with Beluga! Super flexible, took plenty of pictures, it's evident that on a scorching hot day, Alex was able to provide Beluga with plenty of relaxing space to hang out and cool down :)”
About: Hi! I’m new to Rover but definitely not new to caring for dogs. I grew up with dogs and now have a 3-year-old dachshund named Lincoln, who is incredibly friendly and loves meeting new pups. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs of all sizes, including a 95-pound Golden Retriever. I recently started my MBA at Wharton after working in consulting, so I have a flexible schedule and can give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re on their own vacation while you’re away! Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or just hanging out nearby, I’m happy to match their routine and energy level. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else—I feel exactly the same way about Lincoln. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. As a full-time MBA student, my schedule is very flexible, and I spend much of my day studying from home. My fiancé also works from home, so there’s almost always someone around to keep your pup company. Lincoln and I already go on several walks each day, and I love walking around Fitler Square, Rittenhouse Square, and along the Schuylkill River Trail. If your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along! We also love spending time at the park (if that’s something you’re comfortable with and your dog enjoys). Every dog’s routine is different, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to what they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My fiancé and I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment in Fitler Square, where visiting pups will be treated like members of the family. Lincoln is a gentle, social dachshund who loves having canine friends around. Before each stay, I’d love to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, and any preferences or quirks so I can make their experience as comfortable as possible. Whether they need medication, have favorite toys, prefer quiet walks, or have specific house rules, I’ll do my best to keep everything consistent with what they’re used to. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved.
“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.”
“Christopher is AMAZING! He Is so communicative, I never had to worry or wonder what my Pumpkin was up to, he kept me well informed. His family is great and they welcomed us with open arms! We can’t wait to visit with Christopher again!”
“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!”
“Great with adjusting to my time change. My only thing is doesnt seem that he ate after being told he did. Also, didnt get updates realky throughout the day. Great location”
“Travis is nice and easy-going and was great with my very young pup who needs second by second attention to keep him safe and engaged! My husband and I could tell that our pup had a great time! Travis will be our #1 sitter!”
“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.”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Schuylkill
Glenda was wonderful! She accepted our booking at the last minute, and everything went smoothly. She sent us photos throughout the day, took Pixel on walks, and kept us updated. Pixel looked so happy and came home in a great mood. Thank you, Glenda, for taking such good care of him! We’d happily book with you again.
Tony is a rover star. My pups have always had a great experience in his home. He is patient and attentive and provides excellent communication and updates throughout the day. Lulu is our new baby and settled in to his home quickly and had some nice days enjoying the yard and the company of fellow yorkies. She usually doesn’t eat meals when she is with sitters but gobbled up her meal without hesitation at Tony’s. Thanks for all the great care. It’s a comfort to have a place to take my pups and not have to worry at all about them.
I had a fantastic experience with Jason! He was incredibly accommodating and accepted my booking at the very last minute after other sitters had unexpectedly canceled on me, which I really appreciated. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. Jason was reliable, responsive, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process completely stress-free. It was such a relief to find someone so dependable on such short notice, and I felt very comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. I’m extremely happy with the experience and very grateful that Jason was able to help me out when I was in a difficult spot. I would absolutely book with him again and hope to do so in the future. Highly recommend!
Chloe was wonderful with Lily! Lily immediately took to her and was so excited and happy to spend the day with her. Chloe was very attentive to Lily’s needs and kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. When I picked Lily up, she was happy and clearly had a great day. I would definitely recommend Chloe and would be very happy to have her watch Lily again!

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 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 .
