“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Liceth was awesome! It was my first time using Rover and she helped me through the process. Enjoyed our meet and greet to get everyone acclimated and she did an amazing job over the weekend and sent plenty of pics. Will definitely be using Liceth again!”
“Christine was truly amazing! My 13 yo dog was having an arthritis flare up and she took care of him like her own! I was truly so comfortable having the dogs staying with her. I would 1000% recommend using her!”
“Tania was amazing and my pet Daisy liked her very much . She sent daily updates and took my girl on long walks which she loves . When picking her up I saw her tail going nuts and that showed how much my pet liked her. She in fact offered her a toy that Daisy picked up when she was in her care . Thank you very much for the affection you showed towards my girl.”
“My dog Farley seemed very happy and comfortable staying with Samantha and her family. He was given special attention that he probably would not have had at a boarding kennel. Thankful he was taken care of.”
“Kaylee was amazing! She watched my dog Bullett for two weeks while I was on vacation, and I never had to worry once. She sent pictures and updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear she took great care of him. I'm very satisfied, highly recommend Kaylee, and will definitely book her again!”
“Jim has watched our dog twice now and both times we have been very happy. We know that she is in good care. We receive multiple pictures a day. Our dog always has a great time, it’s like her own puppy vacation. We can safely say we have found our sitter for life!”
About: I have experience training puppies and working with senior dogs. I also have volunteered at my local vets office! I would love to spend time taking care of your pet. I work full-time but part time from home. I am also able to leave work on my breaks. I spend my evenings at home or going on walks. I hope you will give me the opportunity to care for your pet! I’m working full time but part time in office. Evening drop off/pick ups would work best. My husband also works Monday - Friday but if I am in office I can spend time at home on my breaks! I would give pets the free rein of my first floor with a crate option. We also have a fenced in yard for them to enjoy!
“Snickers had a wonderful vacation with Julie and Caleb and their kids! He was very loved and spoiled while he was there! What a fantastic family! Definitely going to book with them again!”
“Deirdre was WONDERFUL! From our 1st interaction, to our meet and greet, to our 1st play time day with her and her pups, we thoroughly enjoyed our experiences with her. We trust her with our dear boy.”
“Christine is our sweet pup’s second mama. Riley stayed with Christine for a week while we had our floors done. He was so cared for and loved. He played with Christine’s dogs and the pictures and videos she shared with me made it seem like the best week at summer camp. Riley came home happy and was sad to say goodbye to Christine. Knowing your pet is loved and having fun when you can’t be with them, is the most comforting.”
“Our little dog was loved so much and taken really good care of. We appreciated that there was a meat and greet time set up a few weeks before we left him in her care. She also saw sent a few pictures throughout our trip that showed he was truly on vacation as well”
“I have used Rover for every trip we've taken over 2 years and I am confident my Cardigan Welsh Corgi Arthur has never received better care than the care he received from Betsy and Ron. I think they might take better care of him than we do at home! My only disappointment is that I didn't immediately secure dates for another upcoming trip and they are not available. I don't think you can find someone better to take care of your pet! We got daily updates and photos that reassured us that Arthur was in great hands- he was smiling in many of the photo updates!”
“Andrea was the best sitter ever! She messaged me daily of pictures of my dog, she understood what kind of dog Kubo is, she was respectful and kind, Thank you so much Andrea and your family, Kubo loved you all tons! I would totally recommend you to a friend!”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shillington
We have used Liceth on back to back weekends now for two unexpected needs. She was very responsive, flexible and took excellent care of our two dogs. They both loved spending time with her and her two dogs. We would highly recommend her. We were very appreciative that she was able to accommodate both of our last minute needs.
Absolutely satisfied with Mollie! She helped me out with my two pups for a week. I had to go to urgent care before dropping them off and was going to be late and had a car issue before picking them up. She accomidated me both times and was great about it. She took great care of both of them, sent updates and pictures, I couldn't ask for more. I highly recommend Mollie to anyone who cares about their pets and wants to feel at ease leaving them. Thank you, Mollie!

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Shillington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shillington. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
