“Allison and her family were great with my dog! They sent lots of photos and gave updates on how she was doing. And Willow made friends with their dog who was very well mannered!!”
“Boo had a wonderful time with Katie and her family. The frequent pictures Katie sent showed us just how comfortable Boo was. They even took her swimming in their pool! - a first for Boo. If we could give Katie and her family a 10 we would do it.”
“Our dog raced to the front door remembering her stay with Jena and Nick from last year. She remained happy and was able to stick to her normal routines while there. Jena sent pictures and updates regularly and was good about reporting any concerns or issues such as the air quality preventing long walks. They were genuinely concerned about Liz’s well being which is so important to us. Our pet was well cared for, and we plan to use them any time we need a dog sitter. We find them to be reliable, caring, and responsible and know Liz is in good hands while we are away.”
“Stacey was wonderful. She was very responsive, when I asked a question before my pup’s stay and during. Also sent plenty of pictures and just totally felt comfortable leaving our furry family member with her for a full week!”
“Dear Katherine, I am writing to leave a review and extend my sincere thanks for the exceptional care you provided for our dogs. Your attention to detail, reliability, and genuine affection for animals made a huge difference, and it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate how well you looked after Ambri & Sophi and kept us updated throughout the time. We would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter. Best regards, Troy B”
“This was our first time ever leaving Molly overnight, so we were a little nervous, but Nicole made us feel completely at ease! She and her husband have turned a small barn-shed into the cutest doggie Airbnb, with a fenced-in area for the dogs to run and play. We especially loved knowing that Nicole sleeps in the barn with them overnight. It was so obvious that Nicole truly loves animals and treated Molly like one of her own. We could tell Molly was happy and well cared for when we picked her up. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be having Nicole watch Molly again!”
“Grace made me feel very comfortable leaving my 3 dogs with her, which isn't all that easy. My girls were happy with her and were glad to be there. I would recommend Grace and would re-book with her in the future.”
“It's rare to find someone that my dog Daisy can trust and that I feel secure in knowing she will be taken care of but Lindsey and her family are amazing and so caring. Ty so much for caring for my anxious dog”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and do my very best to treat them like family. I make sure they eat, have adequate potty time, and recreation time. I will be sure to take care of your pet as if they were with you. I am currently working, but have plenty of time to care for pets. They will have plenty of time 1 on 1 with their needs met. I have a yard and can give your dog access to exercise or take them on walks at parks. I do my best to follow your home schedule as much as possible to ensure they will be still on that schedule when you return home.
“Jeannine was absolutely wonderful taking care of my two dogs, Rosie and Sasha. From the start, her communication was excellent, keeping me updated with adorable photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her space is great with lots of room for dogs to run and play. It’s clear Jeannine genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeannine!”
“Silvana took amazing care of our dog, Lilah for a week and we are so happy to have chosen her to watch our puppy. She sent us daily pictures of Lilah, took her on walks, hikes, and fun outings. Silvana was flexible with our schedule, and her own work schedule was flexible enough to care for our young dog who has not mastered being home alone for more than 5 hours yet. We are super grateful and will book with Silvana again in the near future.”
About: Hi there! My name is Kalli. I have owned and trained dogs my whole life. I worked as a full time pet sitter/dog walker from 2013 thru 2016. I would love to watch your home, water plants and pamper your pooch. I am flexible for vacations or even if you're at work and need a mid day walker for your pup. I love all animals and would love to help you with yours! Currently stay at home mother with a two kids. I am able to come without them. Can do early mornings, mid day and nights. I Have a flexible schedule. Have a large back yard and two very friendly dogs. I have a large back porch 3 season room that could give your pet their own space.
“I cannot say enough good things about Tina. When I say that she treated Bernie like her own, I truly mean it! She went above and beyond to spoil our boy and make sure he was loved on at all times. She had great communication with me during the 9 days we were on vacation. His belly was upset bc of separation anxiety and she let me know and offered to pick up anything from the vet that they prescribed. Tina also has the sweetest golden retriever, Duke, that played with Bernie and I think really helped with his anxiety. Bernie was Tina’s shadow during those 9 days and followed her everywhere. That’s how I know he was feeling at ease and found “his person” while we were away. She also really took into consideration the things I was worried about when leaving Bernie, like him destroying and eating toys. She put the toy bin up (poor Duke!) and made sure to watch him when he had toys. I could write pages of how Tina and her family made Bernie part of their family - but just book with her and see for yourself! I won’t use anyone else again.”
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of my pup. Monroe got the perfect amount of walks, affection and play time. Melissa was very responsive and quick to provide an update when requested. She also sent lots of photos. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Melissa again to watch her.”
About: I have grow up with multiple dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my whole life and also have cared for others pets for several years! I currently have two fur babies of my own, Mylo and Jazzy, whom I love dearly! Mylo is a cuddly King Charles Spaniel who I have raised from a puppy and Jazzy is a beagle mix who I rescued when she was 3 ! Due to her rough past, she unfortunately has worked through some anxiety issues which has allowed me to become an expert in giving medications and TLC. She is thankfully totally anxiety free now and living her best life! I am looking forward to providing your pups with a PAWsome experience! I am currently working from home which gives me ample time to provide your pets with the care they need! I ideally would like to watch your dogs at my house due to having dogs of my own/ my work set up. When taking care of your pups, they will be continually monitored and provided with the safest environment possible! I would treat your pets like one of my own and provide them with the excellent care they deserve! We have a beautiful back yard for a safe environment for your pups to run and play.
About: Hi everyone! Long story short, I absolutely love and adore animals...to say I'm an "animal lover" doesn't even cover it. I've owned dogs since I was 8 yrs old, but I've been around and taken care of them my whole life! I currently only have 1 fur-baby, Maddie (AKA Maddison, Matty, Mathew-thiason, Bear, Sweet Baby Bear, the bestest baby bear in the whole wide world). She's our 9 ½ yr. old yellow Labrador Retriever...she's our everything! So as you may have guessed, I'm good with big and small dogs. I'm also currently an "Auntie" to 4 pups (Reggie, Riggs, Luna, and Olive....our newest addition to the family). And let's not forget the other countless doggos and kitties that are in our extended family. I've helped MANY friends and family members with their fur-babies when they're busy, at work, or out of town. And that's what I'd like to do for you. Walks, pets, kisses, plays, talks feedings, cuddles and everything in-between, is what I'd like to help you with. I've also had to critically care for my own pets and others, so I know how to help with medications, if they have any injuries or special needs, if they've had surgeries or other procedures, etc. I'm also a nurse...so that's an added bonus! Your fur-baby will become like mine and your way goes....it's your pet, your home, your rules! Whatever you need me to do for your pet, I absolutely will, with a smile on my face and with the utmost respect. I'm an honest, reliable, organized, detail-oriented, and extremely loving and caring person. My goal is to be an extension of you to your fur-baby, when you just can't be there! I can't wait to help you! I currently only work part time as a nurse, so I have A BUNCH of extra time to help you and your pets! The only times I most likely CANNOT help you are Tuesday between 7pm-10pm and Sunday 10am-12pm ( but those days and times could still be subject to change). Can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby! Whatever you need me to do for your fur-baby, I absolutely will. It's your pet...your rules! I'm just here to help however I possibly can!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Slippery Rock
I needed someone Pepper could stay with for the weekend kinda last minute, and found Katie's profile. She opened up her home to Pepper even though her family had a busy weekend planned. She was open, honest, and I felt very comfortable leaving Pepper with her. I received pictures/update while we were away.

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 Slippery Rock 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 Slippery Rock 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 Slippery Rock.
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 Slippery Rock. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Slippery Rock 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.
