“Sarah is awesome! She is very accommodating. My 14-year-old dog has arthritis and her home is one story and she has a nice fenced in yard which is perfect for him. We love her updates and photos sent as well reassuring us .We will be booking again for sure!”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Arlene is a God send!! We had a very bad experience with another Rover and were quite hesitant to trust another, but when we met Arlene it was a match made in heaven. We don’t trust anyone else with our dog. She truly cares about him and he’s ALWAYS excited to see her when we leave town. She really does treat our dog like her own. Arlene is the best!!!”
“Lejune is northing short of amazing and I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby while they are away. Our Tyson is 13 and we wanted him to be in a comforting and nurturing environment while we were away and Lejune and her family provided just that! We received lots of updates and pictures which was very comforting to us. Tyson was definitely treated like part of the family and received some good spoiling while with Lejune and her family and came home a very happy boy!!! Again, thank you to Lejune and her family for taking such good care of Tyson while we were away - he can't wait to come back to see you guys again!!!”
“My dog had a great time boarding with Satsuki! It was one of my longer trips so I was worried but all those worries went away quickly. Satsuki took great care of my dog and gave me regular updates including pictures - which I love! Would definitely rebook again”
“Diana takes great care of our girl, Tricksey! She sends us pictures of her and updates every day of how she's doing. When we drop Tricksey off with Diana, we know she will be loved and well taken care of.”
“Calvin seemed to be very happy staying with you and happy also to come home. We feel comfortable leaving him here when we need someone to watch him. Thank you for being available and taking good care of him. Would recommend.”
“Reliable, will take my pups last minute, and my pups sprint into her house. She is always sending pics and videos and my pups are smiling. Love taking my pups to Ashley's house!”
“Chloe did great with our year-old rambunctious Olde English Bulldogge pup. She shared regular updates with photos and videos, and took great care of him. Our Saber made new friends and was well taken care of with Chloe. She even let him borrow a jacket on one of the coldest days this year. I'd definitely recommend her.”
“Nadia watched my timid Maggie over the weekend. She sent me several photos and updates thru out my dogs stay, which put me at ease knowing Maggie was being well cared for and doing fine. Nadia has a dog Lego, who quickly became Maggie’s buddy and made her stay even more comfortable. I highly recommend Nadia and will definitely take advantage of her again to watch my dog.”
“Heidi and her family take great care of our dog. I do not worry when she is in their care and she has a great time! My kids and I also love the daily pictures and videos of our pup, they mean so much!”
“Molly was very willing to meet us along our travel route to minimize the amount of time it took off our holiday route to take Story to a sitter. She was very communicative and prompt in meeting. Our dog bonded with her teen stepson, so we felt like the plan was mutually beneficial. We will definitely check with her the next time we need a sitter when we are traveling through her area.”
“Christina was wonderful in taking care of Lilo. She attended well to her needs and gave her extra treats in spoiling her. She communicated well and gave me updates of Lilo on a daily basis and throughout the day.”
“Lynn was incredible! She kept our pup happy, healthy and safe and we know he got plenty of exercise and love which we truly appreciate. Anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter, look no further! :)”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for finding this family. Imer and Michelle are the best. We are so happy to have them as neighbors. Our dogs loved them. Imer sending update for our dogs two or three times of a day.”
About: Hello, my name is Danielle. I used work as a veterinary technician and I am looking to drop in pet sit and walk pets on my off time. I personally have 3 dogs and 4 cats so I am very much used to taking care of pets on a daily basis. I am also experienced in pet first aid and dog/cat CPR experienced. I can also watch small caged animals in my home. I have experience with some exotics and small 'pocket' pets. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you! In the mornings I make sure all of my pets are taken care of then after my kids are off to school I am available to come check in on your fur babies! I always make sure doors are shut and fences are secure for outside time. I always make sure leashes fit snuggly to reduce the risk of a leash slip.
“I HIGHLY recommend Tavin!!!! She is so sweet and I can tell she really loves animals and cares for them. I LOVED and appreciated all the adorable updates on how my fur baby was while I was away. I will definitely reach out to her when I need a puppy sitter from now on!!!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since childhood. I can't imagine life without them. As my senior dog ages, I see myself caring for others pets. I work part time when it fits my schedule. I am pursuing petsitting, especially dog walking, to up my daily excercise and meet new dogs. I have a senior hound mix who I have had for 7 years. We take a long walk twice a day. She receives her medication during feeding.
About: I have loved and cared for animals for many years. Growing up, my family had a dog, and after college, I adopted a street cat who sadly passed away shortly after my daughter was born. These experiences made me very familiar with daily pet care routines such as feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. Now that my daughter is older, our family is excited to welcome animals into our home again. We host only a small number of pets at a time, so each one receives plenty of attention in a calm home environment. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide photo updates so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away. I also like to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. Pet care fits naturally into our weekends. My husband and I are busy working professionals during the week. On weekends, our family enjoys staying home or participating in family-friendly activities, so we can focus on providing attentive care, playtime, feeding, and regular updates for pets staying with us. We strictly limit the number of pets at a time so everyone (including the humans) can relax in a quiet home environment. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine closely and happy to provide photo updates so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away. Most importantly, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
97% of sitters in Upton 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 Upton 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 Upton.
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 Upton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Upton 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.
