“Another successful stay with Megan and Vincent! It was Elsie's and Harper's second time and they are already booked for three nights next weekend. I love getting the pictures and videos while I'm away! Once they walked through the gate into the backyard during drop off, they didn't even look back, not worried at all about being left :).”
“Sadie did really well staying with Jacob and Megan – with getting older, she has some anxiety when she’s not at home and can be a little 'stubborn'. They were very accommodating and I appreciated the extra effort. I would definitely use them again to watch Sadie!”
“Happily rescheduled our vacation to make sure our dog could stay here again. He always comes back to me extremely happy, Charissa is like a second home to Cosmo, as long as she’s willing to have him I’ll always rebook with her”
“We had a great experience! She was very attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was easy to reach and always responded quickly to messages. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Our dog Levi had the best time! Amy and her family were so loving to our boy and kept us very well updated! Absolutely will be sending him back to play and stay again! Grateful for all they did!”
“Outstanding dog sitter! My dog had a blast and Pamela C. was wonderful about documenting it through photos and sharing. Excellent communication and clearly a wonderful dog person. Highly recommend!”
“Sheree did a fabulous job watching our mini golden doodle Caramel. Caramel stayed for two weeks and Sheree sent photos and videos. We were confident our little doggie was being taken care of and having a blast with her mini golden as well. She is a great dog sitter and we highly recommend her.”
“Finn had another wonderful stay with Melanie! We loved the picture & video updates and felt at ease while we were away. My dog seems very comfortable at her house and loves playing with her pup!”
“We were very pleased to have our dog stay with Whitney. We appreciated the updates which kept us assured our dog was doing well. We look forward to working with Whitney again!”
“Zoey loves Tara and Ben. I can tell because she was her normal happy self when she got home, no silent treatment/grudge. They have a nice fenced yard and take good care of the pooches.”
“Superb experience in all aspects. Initial inquities, booking process and all communications were expedient and clear. This was the first time boarding for our 7 month old puppy (song with his 4 year old "sister". Alexandra having experience with Great Danes was so very helpful and made our fur babies feel welcomed and loved. They especially enjoyed time with the girls! Unfortunately (for the sitters) the weather was rainy throughout, but Alexandra and daily were up to the challenges of wet pups with muddy paws. In addition, the younger one's night separation anxiety required some medication and thoughtful handling, all of which was accommodated and communicated with ease. The dogs were extremely well cared for and loved, and we received regular updates. Simply put, we couldn't be happier and will definitely use their services again whether for short or week long needs in the future. We recommend them with absolute highest praise and confidence!”
“Have left our little boy Brady with them multiple times and its obvious he looks forward to his time with them. He always comes home tired from so much playtime. Can not recommend them enough. It's Brady's home away from home!”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“We've used Angelene twice now to watch Ryleigh and she's been great! Even with a hectic morning and our pick up time changing several times, she was very accommodating. Highly recommend using her!”

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 Shenks Ferry 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 Shenks Ferry.
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 Shenks Ferry 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.
