“I’m so glad to have found Courtney. She has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and they are always happy to see her. She takes such good care of them and keeps me posted with pictures and information on what they are up to. I’m very happy and know they are in good hands with Courtney. I can go away and not worry cause I know she is there with them. Thank you Courtney!”
“Audrey is extremely caring & knowledgeable with cats. I’m grateful for her flexibility & willingness to accept a last minute booking. I would love to work with her again, as she put my cat at ease & cared for her well. Thank you, Audrey!”
“Tia was an absolute pleasure! Lizzy thrived with her!!! We loved the photos and videos that showed Lizzy in her element. We are so grateful that Tia took such good care at short notice and during a sad time for our family.”
“Amy is an excellent dog sitter! She treats your dog like family. Extremely reliable and provided daily updates with photos of my dog. Amy is on our short list of approved sitters, and I will highly recommend her to friends and family”
“Jeremy was amazing! He and his wife were so kind and thoughtful. Heinz really enjoyed his time there. They sent photos every day to include our dog in a Steelers jersey while we were at the game. Highly recommend”
“Emily and Patrick are absolutely incredible! They took such wonderful care of my girl Bunny. When my trip was unexpectedly extended due to a flight cancellation, they were so flexible and accommodating. Throughout the weekend they kept me updated with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be more grateful — thank you both so much!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have dreamed of a better experience! Sara was so sweet and knowledgeable, and sent lots of wonderful photos. The next time we will absolutely go to her first!!”
“Mary and family were great. Zoe absolutely loved staying with them as much as they loved having her. They welcomed Zoe in as one of their own. That makes leaving your fur babies a little bit easier. Thank you so much and we will reach out again.”
“Christy was great with our doodle! I was nervous to have her stay with someone since it was our first time but things went so smoothly and once I met Christy and her dogs, I felt so much more comforted! She sent pictures and updates everyday without fail and it was so clear that our pup had gotten attached to her when it was time to leave. She is also extremely communicative and punctual! We are glad to have found a reliable and kind dog sitter for our pup to use long term. Thank you, Christy!”
“Dudley seemed comfortable and well cared for. Sebastian sent me several messages and pictures throughout the week to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend.”
About: A friendly, professional and reliable companion to all animals. Love the Doggos and the Kitties. We get along well and I love how we encourage each others’ exercise. I’m here to serve. Let me know how I can help. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to discuss your specific needs. We can work together to find the best scans routine for your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are paramount. I believe that keeping routines helps quell anxiety, establish trust and build relationships. I am a good friend to your animals when you are away.
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of different dog breeds over the last 15 years. I was the owner of two Schnauzer’s for 13 years. I was the neighborhood dog watcher while growing up and have a history of dog sitting for friends and family members. I work full time as a Child Development Specialist and can create my own schedule so I have lots of AM and PM flexibility to meet the needs of your pet. I have 15 years of experience in caring for house trained and crate trained pets. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks which makes walks safe and enjoyable.
“This was the first time I took Josie to stay with Lisa. She had so much fun and loved staying with Lisa. I knew Josie was comfortable when Lisa said she followed her everywhere.”
“Denyal is amazing! She was so loving to my furman. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs. She was very attentive to him and made sure to update me on how he was adjusting and she sent lots of pictures.”
“Eronda is AMAZING! We brought our first ever puppy to her and she was extremely helpful and kind. She really attended to Millie’s needs such as teaching her things since she is just a baby and applying her medicine. Eronda also gives the best updates with photos. We trust her very much and will continue to book.”
About: I have taken care of neighborhood dogs since I was 10 years old. I have done walks as well as overnight sitting. I have two childhood dogs that live with my parents. One maltipoo and one medium golden doodle!! Please note I can NOT pick up or drop off unless you are willing to compensate for the Ubers. I am a five minute walk to campus and have frequent breaks throughout my day to come back home to care for your furry friend! I also have a roommate who has an opposite schedule so chances are someone will be home with your fur baby most of the time! The longest we would be away is about three hours. There is a large grassy field behind the apartment complex where I can take them on walks, potty breaks, and play fetch! I do not have any other animals in the apartment.
“This is the 3rd or 4th time Goose has stayed with Veronica and her pups. He is always a little apprehensive to leave. He has fun with them and we get updates about his play with other visiting dogs. Veronica seems to find the very best pups to watch. We’ll be back for sure.”
“Janet was wonderful with Luna! She was caring, attentive, and made sure Luna felt comfortable and loved. The pictures she updated me with says it all. Luna looks completely at home and so happy! 🐺❤️ I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend Janet!”
“Audrey was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Mocha and Bear, and we couldn’t have been happier. She kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. Both dogs were happy and well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Audrey is super easygoing, and the whole experience was stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thornburg
Theresa clearly cares about the dogs, and I greatly appreciated her flexibility when my flight was delayed. We had a few communication hiccups and different perspectives on pet care, but overall I’m grateful for the attention she gave Jack and Archie! Would book again.
Amber was fantastic with our pup! She sent us daily, detailed updates along with pictures. She took great care of him, and even cleaned out his ear when she noticed he was scratching at it. She even sent us home with a very kind little goody bag including some pictures of him! She is a true dog person, and I'd definitely recommend her! We expect to rebook in the future!

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 Thornburg 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 Thornburg.
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 Thornburg 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.
