“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Candace has amazing energy, and kindly met us for a meet and greet since our dog can be a little skittish. Millie didn't even look back when we dropped her off, and was a sleepy girl the day we got her back. We will definitely book with Candace again :)”
“We recently had to board our dog, Coco, with Joyce on very short notice due to a family emergency. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible care and support during this difficult time. From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she was in good hands. Joyce was attentive, kind, and made sure Coco felt comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate the extra effort Joyce put into making our pup feel at home. We’ll definitely be returning for future boarding needs. Thank you, Joyce, for being such a wonderful host!”
“I was very happy with the care our dog received while with Svitlana. I received pictures and updates. He was so happy when I arrived to pick him up. It almost appeared as though he didn’t want to leave. I will be booking with her again!”
“This was my first time using a sitter for my fur baby. Rodney and Marissa sent a written update along with pictures. Hachi seemed quite comfortable with them and his new playmates.”
“Megan and Vincent treated my dog as if he was their own. They sent me pictures of Reese throughout his stay. I appreciated that so much. Their home is a pet friendly atmosphere and I’d recommend anyone looking for a sitter for their animals to choose these two lovely kind people! I can’t thank you enough!”
“Our pups are two years old and this was the first time for boarding or being away from home. They are our children and so we are picky about who we trust to leave them with. Her veterinary degree and willingness to do a "meet and greet" first, put us at ease. She sent photos and updates everyday and kept in contact. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end and we will definitely use Silvia and Roberto in the future!”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“Mila is an absolutely wonderful sitter. I give her the highest recommendation possible. She was extremely loving to my dog and even sent pictures while I was away! She's the best!!”
“My dogs had a great time! They were happy and tired when I picked them up :) Jacob was flexible when I had a flight cancel just hours before take off and was stuck in a different state. He kept them for an extra day!”
“I couldn’t have asked for more loving people to keep my fur baby while we were away! They treated Tater as though he was part of the family, and sent frequent photos and updates. I never had to worry about Tater’s happiness or wellbeing. Thank you all so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Krista is excellent. She was so sweet in taking care of my dog, who immediately took a liking to her and trusted her. He is usually timid with new people, but Krista was able to build trust with him immediately. She sent us updates and photos all throughout his time with her. 5/5!”
“This was our first time using Rover service ever. So still very new to the experience. It seems like everything went well and we are glad Jenny took good care of our dog 🐶”
“Brionna was excellent with my Gemma. She was patient and cared for her so well. My dog takes a while to get used to sitters and she did so good with her. Hands down the best sitter!”
“Ashley&jerrell was GREAT, it was our 1st time leaving our pup for a couple days and they made it soooo easy, and comfortable for all of us. Too sending us pictures and videos and quick response when we wanted to know how he was doing. Overall just Great 🫶 thank you”
“Our dog Levi had the best time! Amy and her family were so loving to our boy and kept us very well updated! Absolutely will be sending him back to play and stay again! Grateful for all they did!”
“Marwa and Casey are fantastic sitters! Sadie is immediately at home with them! We love getting the fun photo updates while we were out of town. We came home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup.”
“Ashley and Joshua were amazing with Rosie! Very accommodating of my changing schedule, sent plenty of updates, and Rosie came home tired and happy. Can’t thank y’all enough!!”
“Lonnie was fantastic with our dog and very accommodating. He has a great yard for dogs to run and play with them and you can certainly help loves having them around. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
“Katie and her family are the absolute BEST!! They are such a loving and caring family and do everything to make your pets feel at home!

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 Sticks 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 Sticks.
<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 Sticks 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.
