Our little lady had a great time with Maria. Maria sent us regular updates with pictures of Winnie having fun. It was great to know that Winnie was well taken care of, especially because she had gotten a few stitches right before we left which made us a more anxious leaving her. However, she made a number of new friends and came home a happy puppy.

Coralee and her family welcomed Baxter and he loved being there. I was concerned because Baxter has a health issue that he has to get pill 3 times a day and I was worried that he wouldn't take them but Coralee said he took them like a champ. I would highly recommend Coralee

We recently added two 1-year-old cats (still very kitten-like) to our family and were very nervous when we recently had to board them for over a week. Thankfully, we found Jessica, who clearly loves and knows how to care for animals. She quickly assessed their very different personalities and provided each what they needed to feel secure and comfortable. Jessica is a treasure!

Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.

My booking request was super last minute because my previous arrangements fell through, and Augusta was originally not available but reached back out to me later on to tell me she would be able to if I still needed it which I greatly appreciated! She was great with Bobble and communicated very regularly about how he was doing!

Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.

Carol took great care of our puppy, Max, for about a week while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! Max seemed so happy in all the videos and pictures Carol shared. I think Max actually misses being there and having more friends to play with! Carol is easy to communicate with and was very flexible and accommodating.

Sharon was awesome accommodating a last minute boarding for my corgi, Millie! Millie can definitely be a handful, but Sharon was totally unfazed. Millie loved her time here and had so much fun playing with the other dogs. Sharon was so sweet and helpful even when we were running late for pickup. Lots of video and photo updates helped keep me at ease and were beyond adorable. 5 stars and I would definitely book again!!

We never had Scout stay in someone’s home before. Vivian’s reviews were outstanding, so we decided to give it a try. She asked us to come over for a visit before boarding. That visit calmed all our worries. Vivian and her family were so attentive to Scout and it was apparent that they were very loving and knowledgeable. When we dropped him off for his “vacation” she quickly escorted him to yard to allow him to get acclimated, while her husband helped us with Scout’s belongings. During the vacation, we received pictures two or three times a day. It was apparent that he was enjoying his stay. I am sure he especially enjoyed the walks and the trips in the car. When we have picked him up from boarding kennels before, he would not leave our side. When we picked him up from Vivian’s, he spent time jumping all over us and then bounced back and forth between her family and our family. It was obvious how much he loved them. We will definitely be scheduling more vacations with Vivian in the future. She and her family have given us peace of mind that we never had with anyone else taking care of Scout. Thank you Vivian and Family!!!! ?

Our 3 year old Boston, Cali has very high energy and is hyper focused on her ball. She’ll bark if you aren’t throwing the ball, and has an occasional accident from over excitement with new people, so we were afraid we couldn’t leave her anywhere but Tim and Devin were glad to let her stay at their house. They have a big fenced in back yard so the dogs can run which is a huge plus. They have a beautiful golden retriever that loves to play too which is a big plus because we have other dogs at home that play with Cali. We always love pics while we’re away which we got over the weekend too. It takes special people to take care of our Cali girl and we couldn’t be happier finding Tim and Devin so close to home.

Beatriz and her family are wonderful people who truly care about your pets. I was nervous about leaving my two yorkies who have some health issues and require twice daily medications. She took them on without a second thought. She sent me pictures and updates to help me feel at ease. When I came to get them, my dogs were relaxed/very comfortable there. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

Regina did an amazing job with our dog Barley! Anytime we have gone away Barley was left with family and was very anxious to be with someone she wasn’t familiar with. She was also recently diagnosed with Diabetes is now on a very strict diet and insulin schedule. Regina was able to take great care of barley. She sent us pictures every day, and made barely a member of her family while we were gone! We will certainly use Regina’s services again in the future.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chang! She took care of my dog Archie while I was away on business travel, and from the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing my furbaby was in such loving and capable hands. Chang went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she treat Archie like her own—with so much love, care, and attention—but she was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans were unexpectedly extended. She adjusted without hesitation and gave me one less thing to worry about during a hectic trip. Throughout Archie’s stay, Chang was extremely communicative. She sent regular updates, photos, and sweet messages that showed just how happy and well-cared-for Archie was. It truly meant the world to me to have that peace of mind while being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Chang to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. She’s an absolute gem, and I hope to always have her care for Archie in the future. Thank you, Chang! 🐾💛

Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.

Left our Cavapoo of 21 months old with Andrew & Karen for a first time away from home boarding for 7 days, 6 nights. They were wonderful with him showing care 'n cuddles immediately. Andrew provided updates & photos/videos daily which eased our concerns. Did everything they said they would following Quincey's routine. Slow socialization w/their dog Finn was nicely provided & slowly helped our dog get to know others. Walks together was great to see. Laid back and easy to work with as petsitters. Appreciated them both accepting our dog into their home as one of their own. Would definitely recommend them as petsitters & will be happy to book again in the future. Thanks again Andrew & Karen!

I received lots of pictures and updates on our dog’s day from Nelia, which was thoughtful:) This is the second time their family has helped us and I’m sure we will book again in the future!

Ashley was amazing and took great care of my big boy on his first time being away from family! This was a trial run and I will definitely be using Ashley in the future! She kept me updated and the lines of communication were open. He seemed to enjoy himself watching the wildlife and sitting in the sunroom!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Tarentum

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 860 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tarentum. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

88% of Tarentum sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Tarentum landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tarentum 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 Tarentum.

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.

You and your Tarentum 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.
