“Dana was the best sitter we could ask for! She was super communicative and shared lots of photos. Our dog clearly had a fantastic time and we will absolutely bring him back for our next vacation!”
“We can’t thank you all enough for taking such good care of Candy❤️ And for being so understanding of our circumstances It is a huge weight off our hearts to know candy has a home away from home in the future Thanks again Francine, Heidi and all”
“I recently got a new puppy and I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone while I worked overnight. I needed a dogsitter ASAP who could accommodate several needs, #1 An overnight sitter #2 Watching a puppy #3 Close to my work #4 watching a puppy still needing all their vaccines and shots. Tony has been an excellent sitter for me. He checked all of my requirements and has been a great resource providing me advice. I recommend him to anyone.”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“The absolute best! I couldn’t have left Ollie in better hands. They treated him as if he were their own and sent me pictures and updates along the way. I loved having access to the ring camera so I could see what Ollie was up to at any time. I will definitely without hesitation be using them again.”
“2nd time with Bobby and it was just as great as the first! This is the first time we’ve been comfortable to use the same sitter more than once and will def be going back next time! Thanks again!!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Jacob did an amazing job taking care of Daisy while we were away. He took care of her like his own and even gave us some great tips on how to help her adjust to the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be going back to Jacob again!”
“Andreah (and her Mother) are Awesome!! Extremely caring and sweet and provided our cherished Buddy a warm and comfortable stay while we were down the shore!! She sent us updates with pictures on a daily basis, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be utilizing her services again! Strongly recommend.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Our second time leaving our jack Russell mix terrier with Alyssa and Marcus and they were great. Our dog loves playing with their dog and they'd share photo updates throughout the days which we really appreciate. Highly recommend them as great dog sitters.”
“Ginger was amazing! She really helped us out in a last minute situation and took great care of our dog. She sent photo updates which I really appreciated. We don't leave/travel too often, and the photos just showed us how happy our dog was staying with Ginger. She was comfy and clearly made some friends and enjoyed getting lots of attention! We plan to use Ginger again when we travel in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a private sitter over a kennel.”
“Nicolette took wonderful care of our 11 year old lab. She sent us adorable pics of him hanging out with her and Her German Pincer, Prince. We felt so comfortable with Nicolette and even more when we saw how well he adjusted and became at home - in her home. Can't recommend enough!”
“Leaving my fur baby with Michell and his husband was a smooth and easy process . Michell was very accommodating and communicated with me throughout the stay. I do wish I received videos but the pictures sufficed. Stache wanted to play with the big dogs and not the ones his size 😩😩… overall it was a pleasant booking. I was nervous as this was my first time.”
“Great place for dogs to spend the night. Laura knows a lot about dogs and follow all the instructions for my dog. We will definitely be rebooking her services in the future!”
“Angela was great with my pup Leonard. He had a great time with Bella (and Goldie?) and made himself right at home. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter who I didn’t already know personally and Angela made it easy. Thanks again for caring for my boy!”
“Mara is absolutely fantastic! The level of care and attention our pup received was above and beyond what was expected (and we had high expectations based on our meet-and-greet!). You can book with complete confidence.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swarthmore
Paloma was fantastic and her family is wonderful. She arranged a meet and greet for her big fluff of a dog and my tiny dachshund. They got along great. My dog was happy and comfortable and relaxed when I picked him up. He had a great time emptying their toy box! I will book again.
This was our first time using Rover after having used PetsMart hotel for years, and we can definitely say we will probably never go back. Sam was so reassuring that Bentley would be in good hands and we can tell from all of the updates we received, that we picked the right person. The kids loved seeing the update pictures with messages from Bentley. We will absolutely be booking with Sam in the future. He was the absolute best!!
I had no doubt upon our first meeting that Dakota would have a very comfortable loving stay with Chrissy. She sent a ton of pictures and videos along the way, which was super nice to get while traveling so far away! I can’t wait for Chrissy and Dakota to hang out again! No
Dana is a great listener, followed our every expectations & then some. The pictures received didn't even look like the pugs were even over @ another home, which made us feel so relieved & relaxed🥰🤗. You could tell they were really cared for & loved as if they were her owned.
Alysha was AMAZING! She stayed in touch with updates about how Chipper was doing, and we can tell he had so much fun with Alysha! It was our first time going on a trip without him or family being able to watch him, and we are so thankful Alysha was available to help us with Chipper. Would definitely recommend Alysha to anyone in need of a pet sitter.
Sarah was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating with our last minute booking and made the whole experience so easy. Our boy had the best time playing with her dog, Kobe! Sarah kept us updated throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. He came home happy, well cared for, and completely worn out from all the playing and excitement! We would absolutely recommend Sarah and would happily book with her again.
It was my first time having to leave my dog, Max, with someone he did not know, and meeting Laura before going on my trip was very helpful. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She keeps you updated and answers questions promptly. Laura sent pictures and videos to show how Max was doing, which I really appreciated. If I need a sitter again I will definitely bring Max back to Laura, and I know he'll feel comfortable, and I will feel better about leaving him.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
