“Megan & Vitaliy were great hosts for me and my sister’s two Italian greyhounds. They made us feel very comfortable leaving them there for 7 days and had great communication with pictures and updates. I would definitely book them again for a stay.”
“Meagen is your dogs home away from home. We left Charly for the first time with her in February and we have used Meagen several times since. She welcomes your pup at the front door like it is her own. Charly comes back to our home like she never left. When we are away Meagen keeps us updated with pictures and videos . I could not enjoy my time away if Charly wasn’t with Meagen and her family!!!!”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Curtis took really good care of our dog while we were away. He was really excellent with updating us with pictures and how our dog was doing. Curtis made my dog feel comfortable and at ease. If i ever need a dog sitter, Curtis will be my first choice.”

“Alexa is wonderful! Truly one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She’s kind and treated our Snowy as if she was her own! I felt very confident the entire trip knowing that S was under her care! I’d definitely recommend her to others!”

“Matt is so attentive and does a great job taking care of our pup (who has cancer and special needs). Matt goes above and beyond making our pup feel comfy and judging from our pups disposition after we pick him up, he has a great time with Matt. No signs of stress and separation anxiety. We are grateful for Matt’s help with our pup!”

“Ganesh did a great job taking care of my dog Luna for over 2 weeks when I was on vacation. She's happy and looks great, unlike another dog I had that I left in a shelter a few years ago. He provided frequent updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry about her. I highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs.”
“I really appreciated all the pictures Lisa sent of my dog Scarlett. Everything seemed to go smoothly and I had no concerns about Scarlett’s care. I would recommend Lisa!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for their care and well-being. Growing up in a home full of pets – from bunnies and dogs to cats and aquatic animals – I’ve always felt a strong connection to all creatures. My commitment to animals goes beyond simply loving them; I believe in being a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of rescuing and caring for many dogs, especially senior pups, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. Providing a safe, loving environment for an animal during their later years is a gift that every pet deserves, and I take great pride in offering that. With experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, sizes, and ages, I currently share my home with two small dogs and a cat – all of whom are friendly and welcoming to other animals. I’ve also had the joy of fostering several senior rescues over the years, creating a warm, loving atmosphere where every pet feels at home. No matter your pet’s needs, they’ll receive the utmost care, love, and attention from me. I look forward to meeting and caring for your beloved companion! I am a full-time pet mom, and caring for my pets is at the heart of my daily routine. As a recent graduate from Jefferson University with a degree in Interior Architecture and Design, I work full-time, but I’m fortunate to be remote most days. On a typical work-from-home day, I’m at my desk with one of my dogs either lounging in my lap or resting by my feet, while my cat comes and goes to check in on us. We take frequent potty breaks throughout the day, and I love rewarding them with occasional treats for being such good girls! On the days I work in the office, I usually get home between 4:30 and 5 PM, so I’m able to spend quality time with my pets after work. Weekends are always fully available for pet care, and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time to play, walks, and cuddles. I prioritize a loving and structured routine for my pets, and I’ll bring that same level of care and attention to your pets. Whether I’m working from home or out of the office, your pet will be treated as part of my family, receiving all the attention, love, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or your home, safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a secure environment by closely monitoring the pets, keeping them in a safe, pet-friendly space, and always following any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. At my home, I have a comfortable and clean space for pets to relax, with plenty of room for play and exploration and also a fenced in yard. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully introduce new animals to make sure everyone feels at ease. I make sure to always supervise interactions and ensure that pets have a peaceful, stress-free experience. In your home, I take the time to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, maintaining consistency with feeding, exercise, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any additional rules or preferences you may have, whether it’s keeping your pet away from certain areas or offering specific treats. Above all, I strive to build a bond with your pet based on trust and love, providing them with the care and attention they need while you're away. You can rest assured that your pet will receive the same level of attention, compassion, and safety that I give to my own animals.
“Bear and Bailee had another GREAT 😊 stay with Julianna!!! They were with her for 4 nights and she took really good care of them. I felt entirely comfortable leaving them with her! My pups can be a bit clingy at time and my Bear-Bear can be a little moody and he had a great time with her mom 😊. I am so grateful to have found Julianna. ♥️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thorndale
This was my first time using Rover. Lorraine was wonderful with my dog Ralphie. She asked so many questions about what he liked and needed. Such a comfort to know he was being so well taken care of and she sent pictures and updates often! I would totally recommend her services, she is a gem!
Megan and Vitaliy took excellent care of our beloved 3 1/2 year-old pup during a recent boarding stay. They were extremely kind, and our pup had a great time. They let us know how he was doing throughout the day, administered his medication, and sent photos daily. Our pup came back home very happy, and he settled right back into his routine. We can tell that he was loved with Megan and Vitaliy. We have found our forever dog sitters!
Slugger had such a good time with Samantha! It’s so great to have a place where he can go, feel comfortable, and socialize with other dogs. Samantha was also very accommodating when I had to change the booking time last minute. It’s a great experience all around and we will of course be booking her in the future.
Lori took great care of my little Pomeranian while I was away on a family vacation. My dog had a great time and seeing the sweet look in his eyes as he said his goodbyes to Lori spoke volumes. While my dog is an easy keeper, he likes to be babied. Lori and her kids gave my little diva-boy all the attention he craved. I'd give Lori 6 six out of five stars if I could! Thanks, Lori. You are a delight!

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

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.

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.
