“Tiffany is awesome! Lots of pictures, great yard space for the pups, and she very closely monitors how the dogs are interacting with each other. Thanks Tiffany!”
“We were so pleased with Katherine & Family’s care of Trooper, first of all during initial “trial” day care & overnight boarding, then for His not insubstantial extended 16 nights boarding period. We were kept fully informed of His welfare & also received photo’s & video clips of Him interacting with His new friends. We are so grateful to have been able to connect with such great, considerate & compassionate carers & look forward to having Trooper stay again. Many thanks 🙏🙏. Ian, Lori & Trooper.”
“They were awesome! They took extra time to make my senior dog feel at home. My dog didn’t even want to leave! He was truly cared for. Ive never had someone so intent on ensuring my dog was happy. I know my pet was in good hands and I will be sure to send him in the future!”
About: I’ve spent years providing attentive, hands-on care for the dogs and cats of friends and family. Whether it’s high-energy playtime and long walks for dogs or quiet companionship, feeding, and litter box care for cats, I treat every pet with the patience, safety, and affection they deserve. When your pets are with me, you can expect regular updates, daily photos, and peace of mind knowing they are receiving true family-style care while you’re away I am small business owner I mainly work for home and i have plenty of time to play with you pets. I am available all day every day to take care of your pets. I live very close to dog parks and walking trails so there wont be any shortage of outdoor activities and I have ample of room at home home for the zoomies.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been something I do with so much love. I currently have four dogs: two Yorkies, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a French Bulldog, so I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Living with them every day has taught me how important it is to provide attention, patience, affection, and a safe environment. I am very familiar with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning, and daily care. I also understand that every dog is different and deserves to have their personality, habits, and routines respected. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love dogs and treat them like part of the family. When a dog is in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, safe, and never alone. I also want their owners to have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it is something I genuinely enjoy and something that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, so any dogs staying with me will have plenty of company, attention, and affection. I am available both during the week and on weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to match each dog’s feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule. It is very important to me that every dog feels comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. 🐶❤️ In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious house and a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can go outside, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home. They are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that is part of their usual routine. I always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions so their pet can feel as calm, happy, and comfortable as possible. Since I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day, supervise their time outside, follow their feeding schedule, make sure they get enough rest, and provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority. 🐶❤️
“Nicole took great care of our Lucky during boarding at her home. From the videos and photos she sent, it was clear Lucky was having a great time. When our initial stash of canned food started running out, Nicole even went out shopping to get more. Excellent communication and a truly wonderful sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Lynn was great! She was extremely easy to communicate with, sent a ton of photos, and took great care of our cat! We boarded our furry friend with her for a whole week and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep an eye on our little one!”
“I had such a wonderful experience and cannot recommend her enough! I was extremely nervous about leaving Kobe because he has a history of seizures, but she completely put my mind at ease. She was so attentive, caring, and consistent about keeping me updated throughout his entire stay. Knowing that Kobe was in good hands allowed me to actually enjoy my time away without constantly worrying about him. She truly made the entire experience stress free, and that meant so much to me. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Kobe and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby, I highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
“Sharon took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures to let me know that my girl had adjusted well and was having fun with her and her family, definetly kept my mind at ease. Sharon gave her medication at the times that I had requested. She is reliable, responsible and caring! Thank you, Sharon”
“Our sweet bulldog was in great hands with Katie. I don't think she wanted to leave once we returned from vacation. Knowing we didn't need to worry about our puppy and that she was in good hands was such a relief while being away. We will definitely have Katie watch our puppy again!”
“Anacelia was wonderful! So accommodating and welcoming. Our pup can be a challenge because she is so anxious, but Anacelia made sure our sweet girl had everything she needed to feel comfortable and happy. Mellie came home happy, relaxed, and tired; who could ask for more? We’ve already booked her Christmas!”
“Great job as always. I can always count on you guys to take care of my pups and spoil them. Amazing at keeping me up to date with pictures and how my dogs are doing”
“Renata took great care of Gus while we were away on vacation. He went on daily walks and we received pictures, which were greatly appreciated. She was very responsive to my messages and gave updates about Gus! Thank you, Renata for taking such good care of our boy!”
“This was our first trip away from our little princess Luna. After several searches and attempts to find the right sitter, we came upon Megan. She responded almost immediately after we sent the request. From the first introduction, through Luna’s stay with Megan and her family, we felt we found the perfect person to watch Luna while we were away. Megan sent daily updates and photos which put our minds at ease. If you are looking for someone to watch your dog, Megan is the person you should book!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shimerville
This was the first time we used Rover. We were happy to find someone close by. Missy took great care of our dog, and sent lots of photos. She had a lot of fun with Missy's dogs, and came back very tired. Having a Meet & Greet beforehand made us feel better about leaving our dog. We'll definitely use her again.

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.
93% of sitters in Shimerville 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 Shimerville 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 Shimerville.
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 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 Shimerville 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.
