“I gave her $170 tip total… and she well deserved every bit of it! Vicky and her family were sensational sitters to my dogs, and I will definitely if I have to or even no reason I will rebook her again !”
“Amber is a great dog- sitter! She sent us pictures and videos often, of our dog, with updates on his status. She took him on lots of adventures! He was so well cared- for! Thank you, Amber!”
“Ashley, Kyle and family welcomed Teddy and us and made all of us feel comfortable. Teddy noticed us leaving but didn't fuss much as he had a couple of children to play with. It was only a two night booking, but we were happy to receive a pic of him enjoying himself on Saturday. Pickup went smooth. Teddy and all his belongings were packed and waiting for us. Ashley gave a little report of his stay, encluding his eating and potty breaks. If we are back in the Lancaster area again, we'll be looking for Ashley & Kyle on Rover. I'm sure Teddy would be happy too. Thank you!”

“Sheree did a fabulous job watching our mini golden doodle Caramel. Caramel stayed for two weeks and Sheree sent photos and videos. We were confident our little doggie was being taken care of and having a blast with her mini golden as well. She is a great dog sitter and we highly recommend her.”
“Heather and Spencer were fantastic with my furbaby! I never thought my dog would get so attached to a male! Scooter followed Heather's son around everywhere! Heather kept me constantly updated with pics, videos, and conversation our whole vacation. They both truly treat your pet like their own. We scheduled another stay with them.”
“Julie is awesome! I felt at peace leaving our pup with her. She is very caring and responsible. It’s obvious that she loves animals! She kept us updated with photos and videos. I know that our pup had an awesome time! Will hopefully be a repeat customer if she will have us.”
“I would definitely recommend Sarah for watching your dog. She took such good care of my Murphy while I was away on an unexpected work trip. Sarah sent lots of pictures and updates. Murphy seemed right at home there on her big comfy couch.”
“Alexis was awesome. Sugar often gets anxious when we are away. She made special meals for Sugar when she would not eat. Sugar was happy and pooped out from playing with kids when we picked her up.”
“I can’t recommend Mai enough! They are so caring and wonderful with our dog. I feel completely at ease leaving my sweet pup in their care, which is a first for me! I’m incredibly grateful for Mai!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs officially 4 years ago. Since I came to USA, usually taking care of some friends dogs when they needed… I’m currently working part time as a nanny and pet sitting! I have a beautiful 1 yo daughter who absolutely loves pets and I always take her with me I mostly don’t pet sit in my house. I do feeding and playtime in the owners house, walking too, I like to let them sniff and explore..
“We had a wonderful experience with Megan and Vincent! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy and consistent, and we could tell Freya was happy, comfortable, and well cared for every day - we loved seeing the photos each day! When our travel plans changed unexpectedly, they were incredibly understanding and flexible and were able to keep her for additional time, which made a stressful travel situation so much easier. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. We highly recommend them and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Foxy was great with my two dogs. She provided pictures and updates. Lincoln has separation anxiety, and she knew how to calm him, to the point that he owned the house. Blitz is a high-energy boy, and I know he kept her busy. This was a last-minute booking instead of the kennel at the vet - So glad the boys had a great vacation too!”
“Gwen and her family take such good care of Potato. We can enjoy our trip knowing that she is Cared for and is having a great time. Gwen is very communicative and sends regular check ins and photos. Thanks again for everything.”
“Kianna did a wonderful job of taking care my my 2 kittens while I was away on a week long trip. She communicated everything clearly and was wonderful to deal with. Thank you Kianna for all the help!”
“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
“WONDERFUL! Communicates well, welcomed us with open arms. Lauren makes me feel safe knowing shes caring for my dog. She sends pictures and is flexible with visitation. Always my go to gal for when momma needs a break now lol.”
“Billie provided exceptional communication throughout my dog’s stay, particularly when handling an unexpected marking issue. She sent detailed updates about my dog’s behavior and daily activities, which proved especially valuable when the unusual marking behavior began. Since my dog had never exhibited this behavior before, the sitter’s thorough observations and frequent updates helped us quickly determine that a vet visit was necessary. What impressed me most was her attentiveness and detailed documentation of my dog’s behavior changes. She sent regular photos and updates, activity levels, and any concerning changes. When the marking incident occurred, she immediately reached out and provided clear information about the situation.”

Our boy absolutely loved his overnight experience with DP!! 🐾❤️ He was happy from drop-off all the way through pickup. DP was amazing—she shared pictures throughout his stay and had excellent communication the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be boarding him here again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐶👏

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 Slackwater 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 Slackwater.
<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 Slackwater 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.
