“Anthony and Leni were great with Leni while our family went on vacation! Leni is still a pup and has a lot of energy and they were able to keep her entertained the entire week!! We highly recommend Anthony and Leslie to everyone!!!”
“Michael definitely exceeded all expectations when caring for/about Hayes. Our dog can definitely be a challenge, but Michael is so caring and dedicated to the dogs in his care that I cannot recommend him enough.”
“Christi was fantastic! We were worried about leaving our senior dog for a couple nights during our vacation and Christi had a very warm and welcoming home for our girl. She fell in love with them and wasn’t stressed like she would have been at a dog kennel. I would recommend her over and over again and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Michelle and Sami were great when they watched my girl, Kira. They treated her like family and sent pictures/updates during her stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Mary and family were great. Zoe absolutely loved staying with them as much as they loved having her. They welcomed Zoe in as one of their own. That makes leaving your fur babies a little bit easier. Thank you so much and we will reach out again.”
“I trust no one else with my 1 year old baby boy, Brucey. He feels like he is home there, and Maria and Tony take the best care of him. I am able to travel With total peace of mind because of them. Thank you!!!”
“Autumn is fabulous!!! She remained in touch with us during our entire trip. She sent pictures and videos regularly. Cocoa couldn’t have been in better hands. Autumn and her family treated Cocoa very well. At pick-up, Cocoa was excited to see us, but she also appeared sad to leave Autumn. We are 100% pleased with Autumn’s care, and we will definitely trust her with Cocoa in the future!!!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Erin! We received consistent updates with pictures. Erin was flexible with arranging a meet and greet beforehand. We will definitely be reaching out to Erin again when we need someone to watch our dog!”
“Amy, thanks again for watching our Doji girl at the last minute. Doji loves being with all the other dogs. I think it is almost like Doji is having her own vacation, away from her human owners. Thanks again, Doris & Marcel.”
“I was nervous about leaving my 7 month old lab for a week, especially with having some stomach problems prior to leaving. Chang was great at sending daily updates with pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs to leave their pup behind while they go away”
“Joe is great! He arranged our meet and greet so that Dude would get to meet the other dog he was sitting while Dude would be there.,when it was determined the dogs got along well, I decided to book Dude’s stay.,He sent me pictures and videos of Dude so that I knew Dude was okay. He made sure Dude got his medicine on time and was well fed and cared for. When I came to pick up Dude this evening, Dude didn’t want to leave with me. We would definitely have Dude stay with Joe again!”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Keqi was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. He had a great visit, and loved getting the extra attention from their other cat. Very responsive and flexible sitter. I would highly recommend!”
“Kate is absolutely amazing! We left our dog with Kate for his first “sleepover” and she went above and beyond to keep us updated the entire time and sent so many photos while we were away on our trip. She took Frankie on tons of walks, played, and he was tuckered out when we returned home to him. Thank you Kate, we will definitely rebook again in the future!”
“Dana was fantastic! She sent tons of photos keeping us updated all weekend, and our pup had a blast with her dog Cooper! She was also so understanding when we were running a little behind to pick up our dog due to traffic on our trip. Would highly recommend!!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shippingport
I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! My original dog sitter is a bit of age and fell ill and had to cancel the day before my out of state trip. I was searching frantically all over Rover and stumbled across Heather who took my baby in last minute and was not expensive. I received updates, and pictures the whole time, and she kept in contact every day while I was away. When I went to pick my baby up she was so excited to see me, and after she greeted me with all the love and belly rubs, she immediately went right back over to Heathers husband and sat under him like they were best buddies. Her children were very sweet and helped me to the car with Jamie, and the pictures I received of her children with my dog melted my heart. What sealed the deal that she was a great sitter was when I was pulling off with my baby in the back seat, and she started crying because clearly she did not want to leave. My Jamie had never done that! ♥️ My dog has found her forever baby sitter and I’m so grateful I chose this family to care for my baby. I can’t thank Heather and her family enough! 🥰
Wendy was very nice and professional. She kept updating me including pics/videos. My dog seemed very well taken care of in her care, she’ll an 11 year old dog that wears diapers at night. Wendy is very accommodating with feeding schedule, walking, etc… She gave my dog a treat bag when we left, which was very sweet.

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 Shippingport 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 Shippingport.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Shippingport 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.
