“What I appreciate the most about Emily and her pet sitting is that she's super flexible when it comes to my "fluid" schedule! She's always so cheerful when I bring my dogs to stay with her, and they both love staying at the farm, whether it's for a doggie daycare visit or weekend/ overnight stay!! Thanks to Emily, and her family, I feel my babies are safe and well cared for while I'm away.”
“Dannah and her dog Elphie are the best sitters! Dannah is very communicative and trustworthy. My dog is now best buddies with Elphie. She gets lots of exercise and attention when she stays with them. I always feel my dog is safe and well cared for. Dannah sends daily photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling together!”
“Alexandra has walked my dog for me in the past and just boarded him for the weekend for me too. If I could give her more than five stars- I would. She’s a sweetheart and I know my dog is always safe & entertained with her. She even went above and beyond and came and picked him up for me to make things easier. She sent pictures & videos throughout the whole weekend which we loved! I’d definitely recommend her and will always use her in the future. Thanks again Alex!!! ☺️”
About: I’ve gained abundant experience from pet sitting numerous dogs and cats over the past years along with raising our family pets. I have a decently flexible schedule, so I am able to step in on short notice if needed. I graduated from the University of Scranton earning my bachelor's degree in Biology. I also earned my associates in Medical Laboratory Technology at Penn State in 2025. I currently don’t have any pets, but I look forward to adopting a dachshund in the future. I would consider myself an organized and responsible individual. I am able to comfortably recognize an animal's behavior and their needs whether that is giving extra cuddles or just love from a distance. While I am taking care of your pets, your home will be in good hands. My goal is to make your time away from home as stress-free as possible by providing daily, detailed updates. I am looking forward to spending time with your fur babies! - Brittany I currently work day shift at UPMC as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. My schedule is fairly flexible, especially during late evenings and on weekends and holidays! I want your pet to feel comfortable in their own home with a complete stranger. I take my time with each animal learning and accepting their boundaries. My goal is to provide mental stimulation and to give them love while their loved ones are away.
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“She was great! Luna was having some digestive issues while we were out of state, she went above and beyond to make sure Luna was okay until we got back. Thank you again!”
“Mandy and her family has been wonderful for Lala’s first time with them. Lala seems very comfortable with them and we feel she was well look after. Will definitely reach out again to them if we ever need help.”
“Kerrie did a wonderful job watching our dog Willow. She took the booking last minute, gave us periodic updates, as well as pictures, and made us feel very informed and assured that Willow was being taken care of. Our dog came home happy and adjusted back right away! We would book Kerrie again without a doubt!”
“Winnie's stay with Rosa could not have gone any better. We were a little apprehensive at first because we were afraid Winnie wouldn't feel comfortable, but our worries proved to be just that....merely worries. Rosa was very considerate to Winnie's needs and her feelings. She was also very considerate with us by sending us pictures multiple times a day as well as keeping an open line of constant communication. She was very comforting as well as very professional. We really could not have asked for a better family to watch our Winnie. We would recommend them to anyone.”
“We found Megan on Rover and after we met her for a meet and greet prior to our trip, megan was so kind and knowledgeable since she has 5 of her own dogs, trains dogs and had a great way of how she would care for our dog during trip. She sent us pictures and updates daily that gave us peace of mind she was in great hands. And we will be certainly be asking Megan for our all future trips to care for our dog.”
“Heather has hosted our 88 lbs yellow lab Chewy for extended overnight stays twice now. We know he's enjoyed the stay because he is eager to get in her door when we drop him off - and he's tired from all the play and fun when we pick him up days later. She does a great job communicating with us and takes his mischief with good humor. Will definitely continue to board him with her.”
About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were puppies and understand how important consistency is. I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and discovering ways to connect with them. Dog hugs are just a plus! My pet care availability will typically be before 8am and after 4:30pm during the week. I would also consider overnight bookings during the week. Weekends, I am typically available at all times day and night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I live in an area with a great walking trail and a dog park we can visit. I also have an available crate (Large) with a dog bed and plenty of dog food/treats to share.
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for our two high energy pups. We booked her over the holidays and she went above and beyond. She gave them all the care and affection they needed and was very open in her communication with us. Her dog Nio enjoyed the company of our dogs and was a great play mate for them. Based on how happy our dogs looked in the many photos she sent us, we would highly recommend Linda for your pet sitting needs.”
“I was leaving for a night and needed someone to watch Brooklyn at the last minute. Nicole was very caring and responsive. I received pictures of Brooklyn throughout her stay. Brooklyn even was taken to the dog park. I would totally reccomend and use her services again.”

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.
93% of sitters in Shamokin Dam 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 Shamokin Dam 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 Shamokin Dam.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Shamokin Dam 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.
