“Monica and her family was great with my Giovanna, I’m already to book my next stay with her for my two week vacation. We received updates on how our puppy was doing. She went on walks it was like she was home away from home. So much better than placing her in a kennel. Monica and family will be my puppy new extended family. I can now relax while going away :-) thank you Monica for taking such good care of Giovanna”
“Leila and her pup, Marley, are amazing hosts! If you’re looking for a family to love on your pets while you can’t I recommend this family! 6 older children in the house means your pets are always being loved on! Leila has a huge space in her living room for your pets to play and her backyard is a dog’s playground with everything they can explore! My one dog is a runner and Leila kept him safe and spoiled with his fun walks! Many pictures sent along with updates on how the pets are doing! We will definitely be repeat clients! Thanks, Leila!! 🤗”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”
“This is my second time booking with Gwen. Each time was a phenomenal experience. Gwen was extremely thoughtful, provided frequent updates, and several pictures of my pup's vacation. Always appreciated, thank you!”
“Elaine was great with my fur baby. She has great communication and we felt very safe leaving him overnight. We will definitely use her again after we return from FL in the spring.”
“It wasn't easy for me to find a sitter for Sugar on short notice, because Sugar needed a sitter who had no other pets. I am so grateful that Michael hosted my baby! I could tell that Michael cared for her, and Sugar was very happy with him. We have a time share in the Poconos, and I will definitely use Michael next year, and any time we plan another vacation in the area. Thank you, Michael!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Dawn and my dog Milo’s 8 day stay. First off he’s young, just shy of 4 months, so we had concerns that he’d be a handful for anyone. Dawn’s love for dogs and in depth knowledge is clear in every interaction. Milo came back so well behaved it was amazing. Each day we were away we got multiple pictures detailing his playtime with the other dogs and her adorable sons. She continuously made us feel confident in our decision to leave Milo. I would leave Milo again without hesitation. She’s a pro with heart. Thanks again Dawn!!”
“I had a wonderful experience. Kadie took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, attentive dog sitter! Thank you so much for loving my dog as if he was yours! 😊”
“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was great with our dog Shadow. He has anxiety and she was very patient with him. She kept us up to date on how he was doing. We definitely will be using her as our dog sitter in the future.”
“My two elderly dogs had a great stay and wonderful care. I felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they would get the care and attention they needed. Will definitely use Amanda again when we are away.”
“We were going on vacation and looking around for someone to watch Rocky, until we found Sarah. She didn’t just make us feel at ease but made Rocky feel right at home ? she made it so much a easier for us to go on vacation without having to worry! She sent us updates and took Rocky out on walks, spent time playing with him and We will definitely be using her again ! She’s great ?”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, showing horses and dogs. While in college I started a pet sitting and grooming business and was a key-holding dog care and training volunteer for the Easton SPCA. I fostered many dogs and had two litters born here. I became a clicker trainer when Karen Pryor first introduced it to the dog world and have attended numerous professional dog and animal training seminars and workshops. I later became a certified master groomer and certified canine esthetician as well as a professional scent detection trainer/handler/NACSW judge. I became known as the "dog lady" and a "dog whisperer". I've also studied and practiced animal communication and canine massage. I also worked for a veterinarian and have studied canine nutrition extensively. I've had numerous dogs stay with me over the years and they all leave happy! In this house, dogs are our children, not just pets. On an average day, I groom one or two small dogs at my in-home salon, cook and bake for humans and dogs, read and write. Other than going to church and walking dogs, I'm certainly a homebody! Caring for dogs has always fit my life perfectly. Having grown-up with horses, I'm extremely safety-conscious (horse owners know what I mean!) I have a fenced yard and use a double gate system in the house. I have various ex-pens, crates, puppy playpens, a dog stroller, doggy litter boxes and housebreaking pads if needed. My days revolve around my Havachon, Hazel, and my frequent houseguest, Oliver (mini Dachshund/Rat Terrier). I also have a grooming salon at the house. I've lived in Palmer Township for 30 years and know all the best places to walk dogs!
“Matthew was such a great help. I needed some help on the fly and Matthew was very quick to respond and accommodate. He took care of our dog so well by sending updates and pictures. We had piece of mind on this trip. Thank you and highly recommend!”
“Stefanie was excatly what I was looking for!!! She took amazing care of my four legged child. I will ask her again and again. This was my first time using a sitter that wasn’t a friend or family. Seriously a wonderful experience she’s kind, compassionate, caring 💕for my elderly dog💕”

Halona did great with my needy 80 pound pit mix! We did a meet and greet first, then I booked for 2 nights, because of my wonderful 24 hour shifts -.- Halona was great with keeping me updated, sending pictures, and taking good care of my doggo. He seemed to enjoy his time there too! Will book again during my long shifts!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 370 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Swiftwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Swiftwater 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 Swiftwater 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 Swiftwater.
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 Swiftwater. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Swiftwater 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.
