“This was perfect for what I needed. We had no local friends or family that could take our cat. We were going to be away but he couldn't be at the house because we were having work done on it while we were gone. They took our cat into their home. I was surprised to see they had other cats when I arrived. But one question on the survey was if your pet does well with other cats, which he does, but cats tend to not be friendly with new cats initially so I was a bit worried they'd fight, but they had a separate area, a sun room that they allowed Sox to adjust in and during the week they had sent pictures of him being inside the home on the couch so obviously it was fine. I actually never met or dealt with Sarah only her Mom. Which I felt was odd. I was expecting the person pictured, the person I paid. Her Mom was lovely and clearly there were no issues and my cat was returned safely to me, I just felt it was odd the Sarah was sleeping or "resting because she works a lot" both times I was there. I didn't take any stars off my review for that, because again the service accomplished what I needed which was my cat to be cared for outside of my home.”
“Our experience was excellent! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone new, but Mollie is so warm and welcoming our little guy had no hesitation going with her. She provided frequent updates and was communicative, helpful, and reliable. We have already recommended Mollie to our friends and will continue to do so! You can tell Mollie loves what she does, and her caring and kind nature shines through in every interaction. We know when our pup is with Mollie he is safe and loved like her own. We will definitely be booking again!”
“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!”
“Mayra and her husband was so warm welcoming! They let me know where Milo would be playing and hanging out. Which left me at easy leaving my baby boy. As well Mayra loves playing little games with the doggies she sent me a video of my Milo playing the game and doing so well! She shared pictures as well and always communicated with me when i would ask about Milo. Milo came back so happy ❤️ I would definitely book again with Mayra! Thank you so much!”
“Valkyrie made some new friends this time and the pictures tell me that she had a blast! She’s always so well cared for and I truly appreciate being able to feel 100% comfortable leaving my best girl with Roberta anytime!”
“We left our dog for 6 weeks with Jim’s beautiful family who took such good care of him and loved him. When we came to pick him he was even better well behaved than when we left him. Jim is now the one and only boarding solution for us.”
“Natalie and her husband are the absolute best! They kept me updated on my pups with pictures and messages each day! Their home is beautiful and clean with lots of room for my pups to play. I am so grateful I found them and would highly recommend to everyone. I completely trust my 2 dogs with them and felt safe knowing they were in their care our whole trip!!!!! ❤️”
“Kaylee was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she was super detailed and sweet - made him Easter egg treats 🥚💕 to take home! Kept me posted with adorable pics too. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and she was super nice and understanding! She sent us updates and pictures of our puppers! 10/10 would recommend and would use her services again!”
“Deirdre was amazing with our mini golden doodle! Our dog was so happy when we picked her up. I could tell she had a great time! Deirdre is kind and professional, and sent some great pictures of her having lots of fun on their beautiful farm! Will definitely go back again!”
About: I have been a avid lover of dogs and cats from a young age. I currently am the mommy to a 2 year old white Labrador named Bleu and a cat named Patches who I rescued from the woods in our backyard. . No matter the breed dogs show such unconditional love and devotion to their owners and are a mans best friend. I will care and show each and every pet the same care and love. I have experience giving insulin shots and administering medications as well as shampoo, brush, feed, clean dog dishes, walk and clean dog pen. Please call me to visit your pet Monday thru Sunday anytime. Thank you for your consideration. I am available for boarding, dog walking and drop in’s for feeding, playtime, cuddle time and other small animal related chores such as (feed cats, fish, hamsters. I have a pet door that leads to fenced in lighted yard. I also provide plenty of toys, pet beds, Blue snack bones, free roam of my home.
About: I am more than a sitter – I’m a loving companion for your furry family members! With over 5 years of experience owning dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I offer personalized care, daily photo updates, and plenty of tail-wagging adventures. Whether your pet needs medication, a buddy for long walks, or just someone to cuddle, I’m here to ensure they feel at home while you’re away. I work from home during the week so I have lots of time for walkies and playtime. I am also flexible on weekends for last minute bookings. I live in a apartment close to a doggy park and have 1 fur baby to keep yours company during the day and to play with.
“Thank you so much for watching Finn! He was absolutely exhausted coming home after playing all day at your place. We’re glad he was a good boy and had so much fun playing with the other dogs.”
About: I have experience caring for my family’s two beautiful Australian Shepherds, each with a personality completely their own! First, there’s Coco—also known as “Loco Coco.” She is incredibly sweet, very anxious, smart as hell, and somehow equally goofy. Caring for Coco has taught me the importance of patience, reassurance, and understanding that every dog experiences the world differently. Then there’s Ember. She’ll growl when you pet her… and then growl when you stop petting her! She can be misunderstood and a little moodier, but she is also incredibly loyal and loving in her own unique way. Ember has taught me to respect boundaries, understand body language, and recognize that affection doesn’t always look the same for every dog. Having experience with two very different temperaments has helped me become patient, understanding, and adaptable when caring for animals. I approach every pet as an individual and will take the time to learn what makes your furry family member feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, goofy, independent, cuddly, or a little misunderstood, I will provide care personalized to their individual wants and needs. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them with patience, understanding, confidence, and plenty of love—regardless of their personality! I currently work full-time as an Environmental Scientist with a flexible schedule due to the nature of my work. My position allows me to work remotely, in an office, and onsite at facilities, which gives me flexibility and makes me accommodating when it comes to scheduling pet and house sitting. I am also open to traveling and overnight stays! Because I can work remotely at times, I enjoy the opportunity to spend time in new places while also providing reliable care for your home and pets. I truly miss having furry friends of all shapes and sizes around, and I would love the opportunity to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I am very accommodating and will always do my best to work with your schedule, your pets’ routines, and your individual needs. Your home is your safe space—your sanctuary after long days—and the last thing I would ever want is to disturb that peace of mind. I would treat your home and your pets with the same care, respect, and consideration that I would want for my own. This is your time to relax, travel, and enjoy your vacation or whatever may take you away from home. The last thing you should have to worry about is paying for a service while feeling uncomfortable or uneasy about leaving your beloved pets and home with someone you don’t know. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your home is being respected and your pets are being cared for with genuine attention and compassion—so you can truly relax while you’re away.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Manu and Dhruv! They took great care to make sure Liam felt safe and comfortable, he’s normally very shy but based on our photos he felt at home right away! We received so many great photos and it was clear Manu and Dhruv truly prioritize your dog’s happiness while in their care. I’m so glad Liam could spend a weekend with an incredible family! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and Liam will certainly see them again.”
“We were so happy to have found Anna to watch Jagger for a last minute day trip we went on. She is a caring, kind, & thoughtful person. We could tell Jagger had a great day with Anna. We highly recommend her to take great care of your pet.”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic and we would love to use her for her services again. This was our first time leaving Buddy with anyone so naturally we were nervous. However meeting with Sarah and seeing how happy Buddy was to be there, any concerns were forgotten. Sarah sent us pictures and updates during his time with here! Sarah is fantastic!”

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!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shillington is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $72 per night.

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.
96% 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
