“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!”

About: I have had dogs for my whole life and so I know that it takes to care for them. I work at a dog boarding facility at the moment and so I also have experience in a professional setting. I am currently working part time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pups! When I’m not at work I’m at the gym or at home! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your pups to play. I have a bernedoodle who is very sweet and loves to play with other dogs. I take Knawi to the dog park a lot and also on many walks, which I’m happy to bring your puppy as well.

About: I've had a dog every year of my life until last year. I've raised puppies and then watched them grow old and had to say goodbye. I loved every minute, but cant say goodbye again. I do take care of my kids dogs. We are blessed to have a little Frenchie and a Bernese to care for from time to time.I am retired since September, and cant think of a better way to spend my time than playing with and caring for Pups! I am recently retired and no longer have a dog of my own as she passed last Christmas. Finding myself with alot of extra time, I know that caring for Pups would be a happy solution. As we no longer have a dog of our own, we do keep our kids dogs alot. We have a huge yard and stay with the dogs when they are outside. One is a Frenchie and the other a Bernese.

About: We’ve had dogs all our lives and have not been without a dog for the past 15 years. We love spending time with our furry friends and friend's and family's furbabies. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, from teacup chihuahuas to large great danes. Stephanie even worked at a doggy daycare in her teens/early 20s. While we mostly take care of dogs, we would love to have the privilege to spend time with your cat(s), too. We currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of our own and are ready to spend time with your special animal baby of any (except snakes for Stephanie- so sorry!) species. (If you have a cow that you'd like to be checked on, Stephanie is your girl!) We both work from home. When you aren't available or are just too darn tired to take Winnie the Poodle for a walk or they just need someone to spend some time with, hit us up and we’ll do it for you! Our schedule is pretty flexible. If our calendar here isn't showing that we’re available, send us a message anyway and we can probably work something out. In our world, furry companions aren't just pets—they're cherished family members, each with their own quirks and unconditional love to share. We’ve spent a lifetime embracing the joy of treating them not just as animals, but as beloved children with wagging tails and boundless affection. In our care, your pets are not just under a watchful eye; they're enveloped in a warm embrace, showered with the same love and attention we give to our own family. Because to us, love knows no bounds, whether it's wrapped in fur or flesh.

Will definitely recommend and use again!”

“I LOVED Tara! I am a sitter here on Rover but found myself needing a sitter for my own dogs outside of my home and boy am I lucky to have found Tara. She was very thorough with our meet and greet that made me feel very comfortable about my dogs stay with her. I had my two dogs stay for three days while I got married. Tara understood how busy I would be but made sure to send me a few quick updates about my dogs so I could know they were doing well. She also made sure to tell me that she didn't expect a reply so I could easily see the update and continue on enjoying my wedding day/festivities knowing my dogs were in good hands. My dogs came back happy and healthy and I will definitely be using Tara again when I need another sitter!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for many different species. Along with caring for dogs and cats, I also have experience training and taking care of exotic animals like seals and sea lions, which has taught me patience, strong observation skills, and the importance of positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable working with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether that means helping keep a puppy on a routine, giving extra patience to a shy pet, or making sure a senior pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own I am currently a full-time student at UNCW, so I do have a pretty busy schedule. Monday through Thursday, I am usually busy with classes and other responsibilities from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Outside of those hours, I have more flexibility and can make pet care part of my daily routine. I would be able to provide care in the mornings before class, later in the afternoon, and in the evenings. I am also more available on Fridays and weekends. I am used to balancing multiple responsibilities, so I am comfortable planning my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care a pet may need. I make sure all of the basic necessities are taken care of, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, and sticking as closely as possible to the pet’s normal routine. I also give them lots of attention, love, and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is cleaned up after each visit, including food areas, accidents, litter boxes if needed, and any toys or supplies used. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. My goal is to keep them safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Experienced dog walker and pet care taker. I want to take care of pets during the week so my dog Mabel has friends to interact with. I work full time remote as an engineer, so I am at home most of the time. I let Mabel out at least 4 times day and we go for a nice walk after work. I have a big unfenced yard with a 30 ft radius dog leash. Very nice neighborhood to walk in. Lots of space in the apartment and can be separated comfortably if needed.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Shelocta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 168 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shelocta. About 91% of Shelocta sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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.
