“Charley loves staying here—it is like visiting family! He is always happy to go—he actually starts whining when we get close to their home. Lots of photos and updates helps with my anxiety of leaving my baby. I appreciate Megan and Vitaliy for all the love they give Charley!!”
“Winston had a great time. He has a bit of anxiety and usually doesn’t eat when not at home, well He must have felt right at home because we got a picture of him eating away!! We will definitely book again.”
“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.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have cared for several dogs over the years. I currently have two small dogs of my own, a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese, and they are both very friendly and comfortable around other dogs. My Yorkie is 8 years old, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy having dogs around and will treat your dog like part of the family while they stay with us 🐶 I will be home with the dogs throughout the day, so they get plenty of attention and regular potty breaks. We already have our own dogs, so caring for dogs is a natural part of our daily routine. I’m available for both daytime daycare and overnight boarding. Our home is in a quiet area with plenty of space between neighbors, which makes it a peaceful place for dogs to relax and feel at home. We keep our home clean, quiet, and comfortable for our dogs and visiting pups. The house is regularly cleaned and disinfected, and we do an extra cleaning before every new stay. Potty pads are changed frequently, and we use air purifiers indoors to help keep the space fresh and odor-free. Our own dogs also receive regular flea and tick prevention. Most importantly, someone is home throughout the day to keep an eye on the dogs and make sure they are safe and comfortable.
“My reviews are probably getting old, but they are consistent. Hero spent a week with Dani and Anthony. I get the feeling that he thinks that their home is his second home. they take such good care of him. When I picked him up, he told me what a fun time he had, and that Dani and Anthony helped him get through a thunderstorm (Thanks!!).”
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Mary was for Ginger (and Us). Thank you Mary for all you did to take such great care with our girl. We were daily in the loop on how Ginger was doing with pictures and videos that were amazing - Mary should consider going into pet photography. Mary gladly adjusted with us to keep Ginger when our return had to be delayed due to a winter storm. You can tell that Mary really cared for Ginger. We will use her again very soon.”
“Dolly was wonderful with our two pups, gave frequent updates, sent photos and was willing to accommodate our last minute request as a possible extension of stay! Highly recommend!!”
“Avery is a top notch dog sitter. She took awesome care of our dog Kiwi while we were out of town. I never had a moment of worry. She kept us updated, and you could see how happy my dog was in her care. Thank you Avery!”
About: I provide compassionate and reliable care for animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m skilled in administering medications (both oral and topical), preparing custom meals, and managing crate training with patience and consistency. Whether your pet needs daily exercise, special dietary attention, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for—just like they would at home. I currently work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for pet sitting in the evenings and on weekends. Let me know when you need! I aim to maintain their regular routine to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and given lots of affection and companionship during each visit.
“Brian was an awesome host for our two dogs. He was very communicative and shared pictures throughout the weekend. We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dogs with Brian again in the future!”
“Shishir and his family took great care of Teddy just like we do at home. Even though our pickup was delayed until 2:00 AM, Shishir was very accommodating. Teddy was well fed, comfortable, and happy during his stay. The warm welcome from the kids helped Teddy settle in quickly, especially since he has some anxiety issues. Teddy also got along very well with their pet, it felt more like a fun play date for him. Overall, we are very happy with the care and attention Teddy received and would highly recommend Shishir and his family.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 10 years, including my own dog, Chewie. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, administering oral medications when needed, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own. currently work, but I keep my schedule updated and make time for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including many mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Wenji and family are great. I got some pictures and Jo got lots of walks. When Jo came home, she was very calm and balanced and happy. Very happy about this experience. Will have Jo stay again with Wenji.”
About: I have had pets in my home since I was born, and currently have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old back at home with my mom now. I fostered a pup from ACCT Philly for a few months, volunteered at the Humane Society, and often dog-sit for friends/ family. I have class every day for 1-3 hours, but I am open anytime outside of my class hours and have a super flexible, accommodating schedule. I follow their request and expectation for how their dog is to be treated and cared for, while giving them appropriate attention and exercise. I ensure I am present to care for the dog and ensure all their needs are met.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our Woody! He loves staying with you, (we can tell from how excited he gets when we drop off & from the videos you share) and we appreciate the love attention you give him to help him feel comfortable in your home.”

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!

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 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.
You and your Thorndale 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.

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.

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.
