“Deirdre was amazing. We had a fairly last minute booking and she was able to accommodate our 3 dogs of different energy levels, food, medications, etc. One of our dogs can be a little reactionary but not with Deirdre. Wonderful space and a great yard for them to play in. The dogs came back tired and I swear, a little better behaved, but maybe that was the exhaustion of playing. Would definitely book again and is now our first choice going forward.”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Amber and her family were great. Our little guy was happy and made himself right at home. We enjoyed the consistent pictures, and appreciated Amber's clear and responsive communication. Will definitely use her again!”
“We were anxious to have our dog in an environment with another dog that she has not met, since she can be a little unpredictable. Tristan set up a meet and greet and was confident that our dog would adjust. We are thankful to him for watching her for the weekend when we were in a bind and needed a sitter. We would definitely book again with Tristan if he’d take her!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“Brenda was fantastic! From the moment I left my dog there she made him feel at home and made me feel at ease leaving him with her! She sent me tons of photos to let me know how he was doing and what they were up to. I could tell that my dog was very happy and relaxed around her. This was by far the best dog sitting experience I have had yet!! Thank you Brenda. You will definitely be seeing me and Enzo again 😊”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Michael went above and beyond taking care of our dog when we were away on vacation. He got sick the night before we dropped him off. We told Michael about it when we arrived and he was more than willing to take care of him. Turns out that our dog had a what appeared to be a partial blockage. Michael without hesitation was willing to take him to our vet to be diagnosed. He then faithfully gave him his medication all while communicating everything with us. We are more than grateful. Thank you Michael!”
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“Betsy took care of our dog Pickle this weekend. Betsy and her husband, Ron, could not have been lovelier. We felt very comfortable leaving Pickle in their care. We won’t hesitate to leave Pickle with them again when we need to go away.”
“Samantha and her family welcomed Peaches into their home and treated her like part of the family. She kept in communication with us throughout our vacation with texts and photos. We will definitely book with Samantha again.”
“Samantha has watched my pup Madden a handful of times now and each experience has been great! She is always so flexible and accommodating. Madden also always comes home happy and tired, which we love! We always know our dog is in good hands during his stay with Samantha.”
“Leaving Daisy for 3 weeks in a kennel would have broken our hearts. Instead she stayed with a wonderful family! Big thanks to Donna for taking tremendous care of our pup and putting our minds at ease while we were away. Great communication and plenty of pictures kept us in the loop. We will definitely use Donna again!!”
“Roberta was awesome with our dog Aria! This is the first time we left her with anyone. We were very nervous about doing it but then we met Roberta. She is great with animals and you can tell right away how much love she has for them. She sent us pictures of Aria during her week stay so we knew she was doing well. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Amanda was super responsive and excellent at communicating throughout the entire process. When I picked up Chloe, she was extremely content and not anxious at all, which made me confident she was in good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”

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 Strausstown 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 Strausstown.
<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 Strausstown 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.
