“Jordan did an excellent job caring for Blu at her home while I was away on an extended weekend. Her qualifications speaks for itself making her more than qualified for the job. She did an awesome job me providing me regular updates on how Blu was doing to include photos making me feel at ease for it being his first time away from me and his normal environment. Definitely recommend and would trust Jordan again for future needs.”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing with my dog! She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I could tell he was having a great time and was well loved and cared for. Nancy and Butch are lovely people and I highly recommend their services!!”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Vivian. She made sure to send pics and updates during his stay. We will definitely book with her in the future. Thanks for watching Rusty!”
“Amy did a fabulous job with caring for my 2 dogs! She sent photos and updates which were very much appreciated! She’s knowledgeable about dogs so I felt super comfortable with her watching my dogs. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to all who need her services!”
“Andrew and Karen took great care of our little lady. She seemed to have a great time with their dog, Finn, and got lots of love and attention. We also appreciated their prompt replies and pictures.”
“Jessica was a fantastic dog sitter for our precious frenchie! She communicated throughout the whole ten days with photos videos and updates! Will definitely book again!”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“Carol took great care of our puppy, Max, for about a week while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! Max seemed so happy in all the videos and pictures Carol shared. I think Max actually misses being there and having more friends to play with! Carol is easy to communicate with and was very flexible and accommodating.”
“Carol was amazing with my fur child. She sent pictures everyday and just loved on her like she was her own. Will use her every time I have to leave town and can't take my girl with me!”
“Jamie was wonderful with The Diva! Jaime sent photos every day while we were away and updated us on how Hadassah was adjusting. I would highly recommend her to care for your sweet ones. Bobbi Jo”
“OH MY GOSH! If there were 100 stars, Natasha should have them! From the first meet and greet, we felt so comfortable leaving our "kids" with this family. We have two big labradoodles, who are spoiled rotten. We have 8 grandchildren who adore Kia and Brandy, so they are used to a lot of attention. Natasha and her family showered them with love and affection. They kept them busy and entertained for two weeks! When I returned home, the dogs weren't the least bit interested in me. They just sashayed over to me, not jumping, licking or anything! That was the test. The last place (Dog Stop) must have been lacking in something, they couldn't jump in the car fast enough. This time I couldn't get them into the car! I want to whole heartedly, recommend (Natasha) and Rover.com to everyone! My entire experience was simple, comfortable and stress free. Natasha sent me photos and updates almost daily. So we could enjoy our vacation and not worry about the treatment of our girls. I will use her any time we have the need and of course if she is available. We love Natasha! If anyone wants to talk further, please let me know! Natasha gets 100 gold stars in my book! Thank you, Jillian”
About: Ive always had a pet my whole life every single one of them has been my best friends! I currently have to animals of my own and they are my babies! I love staying active and being on the move so your furr babies wont get bored! I usually get off work around 12-2 it varies every day! I start work at 7:30 am. I have my whole day so filling in the time with my favorite thing sounds amazing! I have a fenced in yard, I have 2 kitties but they will be put away if another pet is in my home just to keep the stress down for all animals! In your home I will respect every rule you have and make sure your fur baby has company!
“Patrick is wonderful. He has watched my puppy and now my senior boy. My senior boy had a little trouble adjusting and Patrick was so kind and easy to communicate with. He provided much appreciated photos and updates and I never once had to worry about my buddy.”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shelocta. 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.
84% of Shelocta 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 Shelocta 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 Shelocta 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 Shelocta.
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 Shelocta 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.
