“Carole was great with my dog Brady for the week he was with her. Brady seemed to have a lot of fun and activity while he was at Carole’s place. I received updates and cute pictures throughout the week. She also was able to administer his medication to him without issue during the week. Overall I felt good know Carole was watching after my dog!”
“Our dog Tucker is initially shy around new people and other dogs but Tiffany was able to really make him feel at home during his stay with her. Her enclosed backyard gave Tucker plenty of privacy to settle in and explore his new surroundings. She updated us with pictures and it was very clear early on that Tucker was settling in just fine with her other dog and family. We will definitely be using Tiffany again for our dog.”
“Kim was an absolute delight with my old guy! This was our first time using Rover and it’s was a great experience! I got videos and pictures and videos everyday and my pup had so much fun! Would recommend Kim to anyone!”
“Wendy and Dan took wonderful care of my Ivy! They kept me updated with messages and pictures while I was on my trip. They were so loving and patient with her. I will definitely have Ivy stay with them when I travel!”
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Sharon and her family. When we first met with Sharon all of out worries immediately disappeared. She is very kind and responsible. Our Cindy felt at home right away. We never had a reason to worry throughout our vacation as Sharon was always in touch. We received daily photographs and reports on how our pet was feeling. All our recommendations were followed. We were very happy with Sharon. Cindy even came home with gifts 😊 Thank you for taking care of our pet while we were away!!! We will definitely contact you again!”
“Anacelia and her family are so great with our pups and love telling us stories about them regularly. Our mini schnauzers are welcomed like part of their extended family which includes 3 dogs of their own.”
“It’s been a while since our Whiskey Boy has been around other dogs since two ACL surgeries. He has an amazing time… Jason sent us pictures throughout and took great care of our boy! Will absolutely reach out next time!”
“I can't say enough about Scott! Not only were my dogs well taken care of and happy, but Scott sent us pictures and reports daily so we could keep up on their activities. We wouldn't hesitate to schedule with Scott again. I know our dogs would love to stay with him again.”
“Ceinwen is absolutely fantastic. She and her lovely two daughters have gone above and beyond to ensure that my fur kids are safe and well cared for when I travel. I can’t give enough stars!!!”
“It was an absolute pleasure leaving our fur baby, Ace, with Johanny and her wonderful family. This was our first time being away from Ace, and naturally, we were a bit anxious—but Johanny made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She kept us updated throughout our vacation with multiple pictures and videos, which truly helped put our minds at ease. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone Ace is so comfortable with, and we can’t wait to use Johanny’s services again!”
“Becky is an amazing and caring sitter! She administered oral medication to our cat with ease, was able to introduce him to her cat, and provided insightful feedback on his temperament and needs. Rest assured your fur baby will be in good hands - I can’t oversell our experience nor recommend her enough.❤️❤️❤️”
“Bobbi is the best !! We felt so comfortable dropping off our 1.5yr old labradoodle knowing she was in good hands. Bobbi is so lovely, caring, and always kept us in the loop. Would definitely recommend / utilize again 💕”
“We are so thrilled with Emily! With how nervous our dog is, he warmed up immediately to her and even started to come out of his shell so soon. Emily is very thoughtful and courteous with how much she updates us. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mariia was amazing! She became best friends with our cat, taking care of her for 2 whole weeks while we were abroad. She communicated with us well and was flexible with our schedule!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelly
Jax was awesome! Hank is 1.5 years old, and this was our first time leaving him since having him. We were of course nervous leaving him. However Jax instantly put us at ease giving us tons of pictures and updates. He made lots of doggie friends, and was treated like a family member. We were able to enjoy our vacation guilt and worry free!!
We had a wonderful experience with Samyou! They were incredibly flexible with scheduling and made the entire process stress-free. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and check-ins while we were away — it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Shelly 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 Shelly.
<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 Shelly 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.
