“Our dog Poncho stayed with Chonlada for a week while we were on vacation and we could not take him with us. She was very flexible and agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Poncho and her dog Tokie were similar in size, age, and activity level so they seemed to get along great. She has a large fenced property for the dogs to explore and run around. I got daily updates as well as pictures and videos of Poncho, which made my family and I feel better about leaving him. Chonlada and her family took great care of Poncho (spoiled him...lol) and made sure he ate his meals and slept comfortably. They also comforted him during a thunder storm, which he does not like. Chonlada even contacted me when she noticed that Poncho was licking his paws and had a small abrasion, which she treated and monitored. Thanks so much to Chonlada and her family and I would definitely recommend her for boarding and will use again when needed.”
“I had a great experience with Amanda. She was very friendly and communicative and conscientious. She is a very large, beautiful yard for the dogs to play. She also sent updates and photos.. I would highly recommend her.”
“Dana made a last minute stay so easy and comforting! After our sitter had cancelled, Dana was willing to take our Berkley in for the weekend with no question. She gave us frequent updates and really gave our pup the exercise and attention he needed! Can’t thank her enough for being awesome!”
“Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.”
“SIQI was the best dog sitter we have ever had for our 2 medium to large dogs. She was extremely responsive and very kind. She had dogs before and knows how to care for dogs really well. She went above and beyond for our girls. One of our girls nails chipped and she quickly sent a picture and followed up with what she did. We are looking forward to having her care for our girls in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kat and Matt! They took great care of our two dogs over the weekend and made sure we always felt connected by sending regular photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Kristin was wonderful! Our dog is a rescue and can be very nervous around new people. Kristin and her pets made Bagheera comfortable right away and I came back to a very happy, worn out doggy. Kristin also kept in touch during our trip and sent us many pictures, videos, and updates. She was also very flexible with our trip schedule and extremely friendly all around! I highly recommend Kristin!”
“Riley’s first stay with Andrea was great! Andrea was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Andrea also kept us updated with pictures of Riley (usually snuggled up on the couch ?). We would definitely book again!”
“Our dog Ruby was extremely excited to visit Sruthi and Abha again! They are fantastic hosts and always communicate very well during the entire stay. Ruby cannot wait to go back and see them again!”
About: As a certified professional dog trainer, I offer specialized home boarding with top notch care, safety, and individual attention. My experience with animals started at age 14 as a kennel tech, and over the years I have worked in veterinary settings, managed structured daily training programs, handled medication administration, and built total confidence working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. When your dog stays with me, they get full access to a fully fenced in backyard for play and exercise. I have dogs and cats of my own, but my home layout allows me to easily separate your dog whenever necessary to keep everyone safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Whether your dog needs basic obedience reinforcement, structured routines, or just a comfortable place to snuggle while you are away, they will be treated like family while in my care!
“Mary was an incredible dog watcher! I got multiple updates throughout the day with very cute pictures included. My dog needed to take medicine on a schedule and Mary made sure to communicate each time a dose was given. I could not have asked for a better host for my fur baby! 10/10 would recommend”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Rebecca was wonderful. Bootsie is 12 yrs old and loves her sofa and that’s what she got. A comfy sofa, no other dogs, and a good walk and meal every day. Heaven! She was hard pressed to get up and leave. Rebecca sent pictures every day, keeping me abreast of the visit. She is a warm and caring sitter who put me at ease. Linda P”
“Jessica and Isaac are the good sitter. We felt so comfortable to drop off our puppy, Carter to them . Jessica keep me updated with pictures and videos. They even let our puppy using their harness.”
“Kiara is an absolute godsend. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my pup when she tore her paw pad right before I had to leave town - she couldn’t be around other dogs because she would want to play, but it’s hard to find a sitter who can isolate your dog, especially on a holiday weekend! Kiara did just that and tried to stay with Rosie as much as she could so she never got lonely. I could just tell from the numerous, wonderful pictures and videos sent that Rosie was having the time of her life. On top of this, I don’t have a car, so was planning on walking Rosie to a sitter. When she hurt her paw, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do or how I was getting her there. Without hesitation, Kiara said she would pick her up. Even when my flight home got delayed 8 hours and a 6 PM arrival time turned into 11:30 PM, Kiara STILL dropped Rosie off for me just before midnight. I can’t say enough good things about her!!”
“Shona was super responsive, even though I booked with her last minute. She took great care of my dog, as I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to constantly worry about her and how she was doing. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Trooper
This was my first time boarding our 'senior' lab. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maranda is a natural with dogs. She makes you feel instantly comfortable knowing your dog will be well cared for. She worked with us on our drop off and pick up schedule and I can tell our lab had a great stay. I look forward to future boarding visits.
Ariel was easy to work with, and comfortable with our dog (75lb), which is much larger than her two dogs. It's nice she has a fenced in yard, so our dog could hangout, get fresh air, and play with her dogs. Ariel sent photos throughout the week, with notes about how things were going. We will be using her services again in the future.
My pup had a great week long stay with Rachel and Steve! We had a good meeting with them and their sweet dog prior to the stay, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They sent an update and photos daily, and everything was very smooth. Good communication. Would be glad to have my pup stay with them again!
Lisa was incredible with our aging but active 10yo Golden Retriever Zelda. She communicated well right from the start, was open about her style of doggie care and very sweet with Zelda. Clearly a big dog lover! She has a great yard, plenty of toys and sent daily videos/pictures of our dog happily playing. In fact, we've already booked her boarding services again to watch our dog for our next upcoming trip. Very trustworthy and were glad we found her.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Trooper can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Trooper 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 Trooper.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trooper. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Trooper 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
