“Renae was a wonderful choice. Took very good care of our dog. She texted updates during his stay and also photos of him enjoying himself. She also has training knowledge and actually taught him a new command.”

“Wow, such a wonderful sitter! Beatriz took care of my Chihuahua-mix and 3-month-old kitten for a few days. My babes are playful and clingy, and I was worried about being away from a basically newborn and her rambunctious big sister -- they're a handful! But according to all of the (amazing!!!) photos and videos, it seems they were quickly right at home, with their own spots on the couch and newfound toys. Loved all of the updates and overall appreciate Beatriz's care for my pets :). Will definitely book her again if she'll have them!!”
About: Graduate of the Vet Tech Institute in 2018. Board certified by the state of PA. Worked at an ER vet for 2 years, currently work at a GP animal hospital as an anesthesia nurse. Able to give medications if needed. Lover of all cats, dogs, pocket pets, and most reptiles. I will treat your pet as if one of my own, or like any of my patients I see at work. I do work full time so taking care of your pets will have to work around my work schedule. I work full time at a GP animal hospital. Im off most weekends, and can work around my work schedule to make sure your pet is cared for. I have a very friendly sweet cat who loves everyone he meets, and sometimes a just as sweet medium sized dog. Can crate your pet if needed.
About: I have been taking care of Dogs, Cats and some Horses for as long as I can remember. I am the person who seeks out the family pet to hang out with instead of the adults :) I raised cocker spaniels in California for a few years. (2 litters) Both my Cocker Spaniels lived to 17 years old! I now have an 11 year old Golden who is the love of my life, I have been giving him CBD for 4 years, and he still acts like a teenager. My mini Golden is a Rescue. She has really come a long way in the 2 years that I have had her. She is the queen of the house now. I love ever minute of it. I am currently not working and would love to just pet sit for a living instead of seeking anything else. I live in Hernando Beach and can either visit your home, or stay at your home. Or I can bring your fur baby to my home. I have two golden retrievers. I can even set up your pet in the lower level (where I would also stay) if your fur baby needs to be away from my two. I have a fenced yard, multiple dog doors, and we love walks! Also lots of beds and couches to snuggle up on! We live on the water and the pups can stick there paws in the water if they would like.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats. I can’t walk past a dog on the street without asking politely to pet them! Two years ago I rescued my dog, Stanley, who is a 24 lb terrier mix. He was abused and took a very long time to warm up, but after a lot of patience and love he’s now thriving and the best boy. I learned a lot with Stanley and feel equipped to work with shyer dogs. Stanley also likes hanging out with other dogs and would enjoy some company around the house! I currently work from home full time, so my availability is flexible. Stanley and I would be happy to have you hang out with us at my place (I’d recommend a meet and greet first). Or, I could stay at your place with your pet if that’s better for them, as long as I can have access to the WiFi so I can work. I live close to a nature trail that I take Stanley on daily, and we’re very familiar with the neighborhood. I can take frequent walk breaks and crate your pet if needed.

About: Reliable boarding, house sitting and check-ins with lots of love and attention. Why pet parents love booking with me • Work from home—pets get lots of attention • Quick responses and easy communication • Daily photo & video updates • Reliable, dependable care • Comfortable with dogs and cats • Plenty of walks, playtime, and affection • I treat every pet like family Whether your pet is staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, my goal is simple: I want you to enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. I've been around animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I work from home, pets in my care aren't left alone for long periods. They receive frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them), and lots of supervision throughout the day. When you're away, you'll receive regular photo and video updates, quick responses to messages, and the reassurance that your pet is being cared for like one of my own. I'm committed to keeping your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet! I only care for a limited number of pets at a time so each one receives plenty of individual attention. Please contact me for any questions or to set up a meet and greet! ❤️ Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting in your home depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy getting my steps in and staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to while making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and supervised environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I do currently have two cats, so I ask that dogs staying with me are cat-friendly. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routine, follow feeding/walking instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I believe pets should feel safe, loved, and treated like family in any environment. I have a pet-friendly backyard space for supervised outdoor time, walks, and play. Since the yard is not fenced in, safety and supervision are always a priority.
“Jillian was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and the experience exceeded our expectations. She offers one client at a time service which was bonus since we have a senior paced dog and a crazy puppy. Jillian was extremely responsive and provided pictures daily. Her fenced in backyard was great and the dogs really enjoyed roaming around. We will definitely use Jillian again on our next vacation without the dogs!”


“Jenn were so AMAZING & SO patient with Hope. Due to possible past abuse/neglect when she was 1st born, Hope is a super skittish Bichon who tends to be anxious around even her family at times, let alone new people. They took phenomenal care of our pup & thru trial & error figured out how to make her the most comfortable & ultimately less anxious over time, which definitely put our mind at ease over Thanksgiving. They took her on walks, sent Hope pics & updates, not to mention, slowly introduced her to their bigger dog, Lola. They also did an excellent job w/ some special need concerns consisting of taking good care of Hope’s tail that has a hot spot on it. She had to wear a cone at times so she didn’t nibble & lick her hot spot. They took off her cone & watched her closely to give her a break (when needed), yet made sure to keep a close eye on her, so she didn’t chase her tender tail without the cone on. They were very flexible on changing dates for us, to add on a day extension w/ no issues. Plus, they met us 1/2 way, since we live an hour from their home, which was so nice. Very accommodating. We would not hesitate to ask Jenn & Peter to care for Hope again in the future! And hope to have them watch our pup possibly at the end of December to beginning of January. EXCELLENT CARE‼️ ? ? ?”
“Emily took excellent care of my Barkley while I was traveling for a family wedding. Barkley was dealing with some seasonal allergies, and Emily sent me updates daily to let me know how he was feeling. He needed to take some medications and supplements during his stay, and Emily did a great job providing those, as needed. This was Barkley's first visit, and he enjoyed exploring the fenced yard and spending time with Emily's dogs. It was nice to know that Barkley was well cared for while I was away!”

“Tara took great care of Peach while we were away for over two weeks. She even extended Peach's stay two days when we were stuck in Europe due to a cancelled flight. No hassle at all. I really appreciate her going above and beyond to maintain Peach's daily routine, even when it was really cold and snowy outside. Peach also had a great time playing with the other dogs that were at her home for daycare. We enjoyed receiving picture updates from her. Peach came home happy and healthy, and better trained than we left her! I have already rebooked stays with her and will continue to do so as long as we need her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have over 7 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve raised puppies, fostered dogs, and cared for friends’ and family’s pets. I really try to get to know each dog because every dog is different. One thing that sets me apart is that I don’t force dogs to interact just because it’s easier for me. I have two dogs of my own, but unless you specifically want your dog to meet them and we’ve had a successful meet-and-greet, they’ll stay separate. They can peacefully exist in the same home without having to play together. work Monday through Friday, but my job is pretty flexible as long as I have a few days’ notice (3 days is perfect!). That lets me plan ahead and make sure your pup gets the care and attention they deserve. Outside of work, I’m usually home with my dogs anyway. Whether your pup loves to play, go on walks, or just cuddle up and nap, I’ll make sure they feel right at home while they’re with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised play and a home that’s set up with dogs in mind like a child’s daycare lol. Even though I have two dogs of my own, I don’t force dogs to interact just because they’re staying in the same house. Unless you specifically want introductions and we’ve had a successful meet & greet, they’ll have their own space and routine. Think of them more like roommates than playmates. I also have a dedicated dog room that’s set up like a cozy bedroom, not a kennel. It has a comfy bed, toys, fresh water, and a camera so I can always check in on your pup if they need a quiet place to relax. It’s especially great for senior dogs, anxious dogs, or any pup that just likes having their own space. If your dog is crate trained or happens to be an escape artist, I also have two extra large metal crates available when needed. I also keep my boarding limited so every dog gets the time, attention, and care they deserve instead of feeling like just another “booking”. I’ll always follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any instructions you leave because I know every dog is different.

“Our boys had a great time with Barb! Her experienced background helped ease my own apprehension about leaving them with anyone other than family. She understood all their quirks in no time! She sent photos and messages daily that helped us as well! Getting ready to book their next stay!”

About: I love walking, playing, & watching all sorts of dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house since I was a little girl. Dogs are my best friends! I currently work as a nurse so my schedule moves around a bit. Typically I am only working about 3 days a week! Any of my 4 days off I can be available! My home is friendly & welcoming to all different dogs. I do have a fenced in yard, & a dog who gets along great with others!

About: Our family has 2 very friendly labs, Gabigool 3 y/o and Pepperoni 1 y/o. Their hobbies are running in the yard, playing fetch/tug of war and cuddling. Gabi and Pepper love making friends with other dogs! Our Cat Joni enjoys watching the dogs play from other side of the room and keeps to herself. No dog is too big or too high energy. As long as you love to play and are good with cats you'll love hanging out at Gabi and Pepper's house! "Woof woof woof" - Gabi I am a health care worker who works full-time on the weekends and am home Monday through Friday. I grew up taking care of our family dogs and now I have two of my own I absolutely love them. I am available for walks and play time Monday through friday. Our lab Pepper loves to chew and eat everything around our house so we keep it well kept and puppy proof! We have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys to keep your dogs entertained. Gabi loves to run our fence and is always excited to invite friends to join her! Pepper is a pro at playing fetch and loves to share her toys. When its a little too cold to be outside we take fetch and tug of war inside. "Bark bark bark"- Pepper

“Rebecca was GREAT! She watched our two goldendoodles in her home for the weekend and treated them like family. She sent pictures of them relaxing on her couch, playing in her yard, and getting cozy with her sweet pup, Griff. They were well taken care of and we will use her again!”

About: Hi, my name is Inna and I’m a huge animal lover! I have many years of experience taking care of pets, both my own and for others. I currently have a sweet 5-year-old dog named Alberto and a friendly cat named Sam. They both get along well with other pets and love having new friends around. I am a very responsible and caring person. I know how important it is to give pets love, attention, and proper care when their owners are away. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member will be safe, happy, and well cared for in my home. I have a comfortable and pet-friendly home where your dog or cat will feel welcome. I will follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet like my own. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or feeding — I’ve got it covered! I look forward to meeting you and your pets I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets throughout the day. We also have a small yard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. Your pet will never be left alone for long — they will always have company and attention Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always make sure the environment is safe, clean, and comfortable. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding food, walks, medications, or special needs. I never leave pets unattended outside, and I make sure they always feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like part of my family
“I was traveling last minute for a friends birthday and Maureen quickly replied and set up a meet and greet for the next day. My puppy Bruno is very loveable and was excited to meet Maureen and her family. The meet & greet went well so we booked for him to stay the next day overnight. All went well with the drop off and pick up and Maureen sent me updates on Bruno throughout his overnight stay. I would rebook with her in the future.”

About: Having had the joy of loving, training, and caring for two wonderful dogs, and losing them both to old age, I deeply miss having a dog in my life. While I’m not financially able to provide for another dog at this time, I would love the opportunity to care for others' pets. Caring for dogs would not only help me earn additional income but also fill my life with the companionship and joy they bring, even if it's just temporary—whether for a day, a week, or longer. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing, walking, grooming, or simply loving them. With a strong moral code and work ethic, you can rest assured that your beloved pet will be well cared for, and I’ll ensure they have as much fun as if they were on vacation! I work from home, so I am available 24/7 to tend to the need of your pet! I have weekend obligations that will take me out of the house, but never longer that a few hours at a time. Your dog will be treated like family while in my care. My entire downstairs is open to them. I am hoping your pet will want to hang out with me:) I have a large yard , with a portion of it fenced off to create safety for your pet when off leash. If your dog fancies a walk, I live close to a park that is ideal for a casual stroll, or an invigorating walk for for exercise. I am more than willing to send pictures and or short videos of your pet if you wish, so you can feel connected while you are away.
About: I’m a full-time professional with three years of experience teaching manners at Humane Animal Rescue, and I’m excited to welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs into my home for boarding. My approach combines safety, structure, and enrichment so your dog feels secure, happy, and fulfilled during their stay. My home is set up with safety in mind—hazards are kept out of reach, and visiting pets are supervised closely every day. I have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and while there are a few steps, I make sure each dog’s needs are accommodated. We have a securely gated setup in our dining room where dogs can be separated for rest time throughout the day as needed, or simply to decompress if they want their own space! Rotating between my own dog and yours in this accommodated space will be a part of our routine if your dog needs more personalized attention, but only if needed. Before any stay, I require a meet-and-greet with my own well-socialized pit bull mix and cat. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and sets the tone for a stress-free visit. I also honor your preferred training methods and routines while adding daily mental and physical enrichment—sniff walks, puzzle toys, and engagement games—to keep your pup’s mind and body happy. Whether your dog thrives on quiet companionship or loves a more active, engaging schedule, I’ll make sure they feel cared for like family. I currently am a full time working professional with a hybrid schedule. I work two days in office and my husband works from home daily. Your pet will always be attended to and cared for like our own. I understand the importance of peace of mind when trusting your pet with another person. Extra attention and care is always taken to ensure pet safety, whether this be around open doors, while on walks, or any other particular needs they have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 168 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shelocta. About 94% of Shelocta sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
