“We had a wonderful experience! Our two doggos were well cared for, happy, and loved while we were away. We appreciated the updates and the genuine care shown throughout their stay. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely book again!”
“Glenn is a godsend! My 2 dogs were happy & well cared for, as the photos he provided quickly confirmed. Glenn intuitively knew (1) how to coax my shy, sweet Shiloh into eating her dinner & (2) he had to protect her dinner from my other pup, Moochie, who--as Glenn noted--is named for his larcenous, food-stealing ways! He even tried to train Moochie to stop his tendency to mark his territory, which I've given up doing, resorting to a diaper most of the time at home. It was a crazy, fun, but calamity-ridden weekend for me, & my arrival times for both drop-off & pick-up were later than originally expected. Glenn was relaxed and patient despite my tardiness, so I'd actually have to say he took good care of all three of us!”
“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Tanjida and her husband are absolutely wonderful. They’ve very gentle, loving, and warm. They paid attention to Minks allowing her to open up and be hee loving self. Tanjida sent pictures and updates throughout the two days.”
“Cheyenne was great with my pup, Bruce, and very communicative. Photo and video updates showed how much fun Bruce had with her family and Waffles (Cheyenne’s pup) during his stay. When we picked him up, it was clear that he had a great time and would miss his new friends. We’ll definitely be using Cheyenne again in the future!”
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”
“I’m new to the area so I was a little nervous about trusting my dog with anyone especially overnight, but Jamie took great care of my Nina. She sent me pictures of my dog warming up to her. My dog seemed to have a good time. If I go out of town again I will definitely be booking with Jamie again!”
“Chrisie is an excellent sitter!! She's caring and very kind, and I felt very comfortable leaving Darla in her care. She kept in touch with me everyday, even sending pictures. I highly recommend Chrisie and will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you again. ❤️”
“I don’t know if you’ll ever find a better sitter! For more than a year, they have taken excellent care of our young, energetic dog. They constantly keep us out to date with her stay. Always send photos. Maggie can’t wait to run in their house each time we drop her off. Look no further than Karen and Donald.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight and Kerri made me feel so at ease! She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates. Kobe had such a good stay and enjoyed spending the night with her and her family! I will definitely use her again!”
“Tara is great! She is very kind and easy to communicate with. My dog is a clingy and nervous chihuahua, and he felt very comfortable with Tara. She did a great job making him feel relaxed while sharing pictures with me while I was away. I appreciate her dedication and patience for making my dog, and myself, feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while I was out of town. Thank you Tara!”
“Anna was just amazing! Receiving daily updates and pictures showing how much fun our Denver was having made our vacation that much easier knowing how much of a good boy he was being!”
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
About: I’ve taken care of animals and pets my whole life. From puppies to senior dogs, I love taking precious l puppers under my wing while they need it! I am a long time pet owner who is now a medical student. My schedule is flexible and my work/study allows me to have time to care for pets and give them the time they deserve. I have a safe environment where pets will be given attention and love along with their everyday needs like food, water, walks, and potty times!
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
About: I don't have much experience with dog care. My family briefly had a dog or two when we lived in Trinidad and Tobago for about 2 years. And my oldest brother briefly lived with a Husky. I've been surrounded by cats most of my life since I was about 15 years old and now I'm 42 years old. I plan on being the sole pet caregiver in my household for your pet(s) and I will treat your pet or dog like an extended part of the family. Whatever rules you wish for me to follow with your pet or dog I will follow and respect them. I have a deep compassion for animals and will treat your pet or dog with love and care. I'm currently a part-time home health aide or caregiver for my Autistic 14 year old son which takes place at our home. I have a family of 5 including three kids and I'm looking for a way to make extra income. We live with 4 cats who spend most of their time outdoors. We have a fenced up yard with plenty of room for your pet(s) to roam around in and play.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Scranton on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 121 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Scranton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Scranton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Scranton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Scranton 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 Scranton.
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.
You and your Scranton 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.
