“Merry & Pippin always love their stay with Megan and Vitaliy. They love the large, fenced in backyard. Merry loves that he has playmates there. Pippin loves to explore. I highly recommend!”
“Lorraine took excellent care of our CavaPoo while we attended a family reunion out of state. It made us feel great to know Bailey was in such capable and nurturing hands. Lorraine sent frequent pictures and updates. Her home is safe, cozy and inviting. We will definitely book with Lorraine whenever we can!!!”
“Lori was fantastic! She was able to take Colby last minute, and it worked out perfectly. Lori was so sweet and I know that Colby was lovingly cared for. She sent us pictures and stayed in touch.”
“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!”
“I would recommend Alyssa to everyone I know. I was away for 5 days and she kept me updated at all time about Douglas's stay. She even sent me pictures! Thank you Alyssa for treating my fur baby like one of your family members. ”
“Samantha is an excellent pet sitter. Benny's favorite. He love to stay with her and her happy tails dogs. Thank you very much for taking care of our pup. We were at peace knowing that Benny's in good hand during our absence.”
About: My hands-on pet care experience comes from being a dedicated dog mom to three wonderful dogs. I currently care for a 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Dash and a 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Bubba giving me experience with both senior dogs and younger, energetic breeds. We recently lost our 14 year old Maltese, Ice T to heart failure, he fought hard and strong for 3 years. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and recognizing the unique needs that come with aging pets, including maintaining routines, administering medications when needed, and providing extra comfort and attention. At the same time, my Goldendoodle keeps me active with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, from senior dogs to active younger dogs. On weekdays, I'm typically available in the mornings, during lunch, and throughout the evening. Weekends are generally open, allowing me to provide additional playtime, exercise, and one-on-one attention. I only take one pet at a time so I can ensure each dog receives personalized care, supervision, and lots of love while their family is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs and active breeds. My home features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods and receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for during their stay.
“One of our neighbors recommended Grace to us when our regular sitter stopped boarding. Our dog is very shy and introverted when it comes to people she doesn’t know, and she took to Grace really well. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Took great care of Brooklyn, was available to take her on short notice when my sitter canceled last minute. Provided lots of updates and pictures, highly recommend Jess, I will definitely be booking with her again”

“I was overwhelming please by the care Barbara and her family showed to our dog. I really appreciated all her communication and pictures she sent me. Whenever I picked up my dog I could tell she was well played with and tired!!”
“Richard made us feel so comfortable leaving Roxy with him and his family. We received pictures during the day of our Roxy feeling very relaxed and at home!! We are so glad to have found Richard!!”
About: Hey there! I am a young professional with a passion for animal rescue. I have been involved in animal welfare all my life, and am currently a foster for a local rescue. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. Nothing scares me! Whether it’s a running buddy or a couch cuddle you are looking for, I can provide whatever is needed for your fur baby. Currently I am offering boarding only. I have experience with physical therapy, oral medications and injections, incontinence, and anything else for special needs pups. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your babies are loved while you are away. I work hybrid, so am able to provide multiple play/potty breaks throughout the day! I have 1 office day, but can sometimes drop by at lunch. While I am gone, pups are crated or kept in separate areas to ensure everyone’s safety. Between fostering, dog sitting, and my own dog, my life revolves around animals. Your fur baby will be well loved and well cared for no matter what. I have a large fenced in yard, and a rescue dog and cat of my own. If you bring your dog over to my home, they will have free roam of the house if they’d like! I will intro them to the current pack that is living there, and find their “play group”. I understand not all dogs get along with each other (they don’t need to!) and so if needed provide separate play groups that rotate so everyone can be safe and comfortable. If your pup needs some time to adjust, my guest room is considered the “dog room” in my house. There are crates, toys, couches, blankets, and a separate decompression area should they need that. I understand dog behaviors well, and have a very adaptable home to whatever your babies may need!
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“t: We couldn’t have asked for better caregivers for Rook while we were away. From the moment we met James and Ami, it was clear that they genuinely love animals. Their whole family was involved in caring for him, and it truly felt like Rook was treated as part of their family rather than just a pet they were watching. They kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind. Seeing Rook happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it easy to enjoy our time away. Their kindness, attention, and loving care exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy dog, and that’s the best endorsement possible. We are incredibly grateful and would trust them with Rook again without hesitation. Highly recommend!!!!”

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!
This was Theo’s first time using Rover and his first extended stay away from us, so we were naturally nervous. Bart made the entire experience so much easier with regular updates and great communication, which gave us real peace of mind. Theo settled in well, got along with the other pets and kids, and came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found Bart and wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with Theo again. Thank you, Bart!
This was our first time using Lorraine and Rover. We couldn't have found a better person to watch our senior pooch. From our first meeting, we felt our girl was in a safe healthy environment and Lorraine was a caring, reliable sitter. Over the 2 week stay, Lorraine sent updates and pictures showing a contended, happy pooch. We highly recommend Lorraine. A+

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 Thorndale 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 Thorndale.
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 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. 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.
