“Great sitter! My dog stayed for 3 nights and was really well cared for the entire time. She has a safe fenced yard, and I loved knowing he had space to relax and play outside. He seemed comfortable and happy the whole stay, and communication was easy throughout. Would definitely book again! Thank you Deb!”
“Dawn was so great with Wilson! She let him hog the bed and snuggle on the couch all day and night. She sent lots of updates and great photos which kept our mind at ease while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Mollie provided a home away from home for my dog. I received lots of photos and communication during his stay and they were sad to see him leave at the end. I’ll definitely be requesting a stay with her again!”
“Liceth was amazing with my Bull Terrier Luke. Thank you for being so attentive to his physical needs, and his awesome run in the park with your bike. I appreciated all the updates I received while I was out of town. I knew Luke was safe and well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“Betsy did a wonderful job caring for my "high-energy" dog. She took him for multiple walks per day and played with him with his toys. Betsy also sent me multiple texts and pictures of my dog during the time that she cared for him. I don't think he would have received better care with anyone else, and I will definitely contact Betsy again in the future when I need a dog sitter; she's the best! Thank you, Betsy, for treating my dog like you would your own dog! 🐶”
“Jim was very understanding about my pets habits and needs. He sent daily updates and pictures of Onyx and Yoshi they looked very happy and content. I will use Jim for all my pets away from home needs. Thanks Jim”
“Kristin was a kind soul and a Godsend for our dog when we had to make plans in a hurry. Our dog is nervous around new people but she didn’t want to leave! Five stars. :)”
“Nicole was an excellent pet sitter. She sent me pictures and daily updates about Cinnamon, and she took her out on walks and took good care of her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Michael and family were great! He was very responsive and checked in every day. You could tell he cared for my fur baby and took great care of her. He listened to her routine and also spoiled her with lots of snuggles and attention. I’m not sure she actually wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Michael- and I will be sending my fur baby to daycare camp with him again!”
“Jennifer always goes above and beyond. My puppy is extremely picky with his food and often needs something different to encourage him to eat. This time, she even fed him by hand—and it worked.”
“Penny is awesome dog sitter. Very responsible, attentive to our dog's needs, sent pictures every day and personable. Penny keeped a log on Molly. When we came to pick her up, she gave us a "report card". I was tickled to see Penny's review.”
“Samantha watched my dog that has anxiety and never spent a day let alone 5 nights away from me in her 5 years on this earth. She welcomed Zoey into her home and made it feel like her own. I got a few pics with an update on how she was doing. Samantha was great with communication pre booking and every quick with responding. I would recommend her to anyone needing boarding”
“Absolutely amazing! We had such a great experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. She was so sweet, reliable, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. 🥹🐾 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well taken care of while we were away. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies!”
“Megan & Vitality took wonderful care of our dog for 4 days. Savannah had friends to play with all the time, and was given the room she loves to have outdoors. Megan & Vitality agreed to the booking on short notice, and extended their usual boarding week a little for us. They sent pictures on a regular basis as well, so we knew Savannah was well cared for and having great fun.”
“Jo-Ellen is an outstanding Rover host!! She really went above and beyond to make sure Zoom was comfortable given this was only his second rover stay. I'm grateful for the A+ communication and attention given to Zoom. Her place is in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic and lots of grassy lawns. Definitely will be leaving Zoom with Jo-Ellen during future travels!”
“This was our first time using Tristan and was very pleased with the care that he and his family gave our dog. Was such a nice change over the kennel that we would have normally used, was like having him at a friends home. Will definitely use his services again!”

Carmen went above and beyond to take care of my special needs girl. She made sure her medication was given on time, she took her to the vet when she started having some issues and loved on her to make sure she was comfortable. She communicated with me multiple times a day and sent lots of pictures. Carmen was a blessing and allowed me to enjoy our vacation without worry.
We have used Liceth for years! The proof that our dogs love it with her is that the moment we pull onto her road the dogs get SO excited and they literally run off with her at drop off! Thank you for always loving our fur babies and taking such good care of them! See you next time!
Our older dog Ali had never gone to a dog sitter before. I felt reassured and confident leaving her in Mollie's care. She did really well, and Mollie had only nice things to say about Ali. She sent me pictures! When I got home and realized Ali's food was still in her refrigerator, Mollie brought it to me! Above and beyond. I appreciated everything she did.
Kanija was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Jade and Raia! From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable and loved. She treated them like they were part of her own family, and they truly felt at home. Her communication was outstanding throughout their stay. She kept us updated regularly, always sending thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Seeing how happy and relaxed Jade and Raia were made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Kanija is incredibly attentive, caring, and trustworthy, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
We were very rude in that we didn't drop her off and pick her up on time. Fernando was very accommodating and kind to our change up! He sent us plenty of pictures and updates letting us know she was settling in and made sure she had eaten breakfast. He took our booking last minute and responded extremely quickly. He is a little higher than the other dog watchers but the peace of mind is worth it to me. 10/10 would book again. Suki comes back tired and happy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shillington on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 730 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shillington. 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.
94% of Shillington 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 Shillington 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 Shillington 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 Shillington.
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 Shillington 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.
