“I don’t think I could give this an honest review because it’s only a five star review and my experience with 10 star! My boxer is two years old and has spent his entire life by my side since he was six weeks old, I had to go away for a vacation and worried about him not acclimating to a new environment. None of my fears came true, he was very well taken care of, and I would strongly recommend using Brionna! I never went anywhere for long but now I can rest assure that I have a fantastic pet sitter….. more trips may be planned in the future”
“I absolutely loved Alexis (and her family!) She made me feel comfortable by leaving my 16week old puppy with them. She sent me pictures and kept in contact while I was away which made me feel at ease. I will be using her again!”
“I am a repeat customer with bookings already planned with Holly. She is excellent and I would not trust Barkley with anyone else. You can't go wrong booking with her. Thank you again!”
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for my family pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding depending on my class schedule, and weekend stays so you can have your weekend getaways knowing your pet is safe. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, patient, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.
“Super nice I’m sure Annabelle loved her stay!! Communication at its finest!!! It was Annabelle’s first time staying with a stranger and Alexis made her feel at home!! would book with her again❤️❤️❤️”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“This was my first time using the app and Jordan made it seamless! She communicated timely and made me feel at ease leaving my baby with her for 5 days. I got pictures and updates throughout my trip and I loved that she was willing to come over and meet us prior to booking. Highly recommended!”
“Another wonderful stay with De’Andra and Robert. We feel lucky to have found them to care for our dog Bentley when we have to be away. They are a true blessing; our mind is always at peace when Bentley is with them with all the updates, pictures and videos they send. They really make a point to love your pet as if it was their own.”
“Alexandra and Robert were once again great to my dog Baxter! He loves it there and I’m confident they give him the love, care, and attention he needs. Won’t hesitate to book again!”
“I could not be more pleased with the care that Desire gave to my energetic boxer puppy ROCCO!! He was with her for 5 nights and the videos and pictures she sent I was worried he would not want to come home!!! I knew he was well cared for and was able to enjoy my time away!!!”
“Ashley, Kyle and family welcomed Teddy and us and made all of us feel comfortable. Teddy noticed us leaving but didn't fuss much as he had a couple of children to play with. It was only a two night booking, but we were happy to receive a pic of him enjoying himself on Saturday. Pickup went smooth. Teddy and all his belongings were packed and waiting for us. Ashley gave a little report of his stay, encluding his eating and potty breaks. If we are back in the Lancaster area again, we'll be looking for Ashley & Kyle on Rover. I'm sure Teddy would be happy too. Thank you!”
“Muffin enjoyed her two days with Alicia. She went to a park and got to visit Alicia's friends farm as well . She sent pictures and texted me when she could . All around a good experience I will use her again !”
“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
“Michael and his family were wonderful with my dog, Sunny. They walked him regularly, did different activities and played with him. He appeared to have a good time and looked comfortable for the whole visit. I received regular updates with photos, so I always knew what he was up to. Michael was organized and prepared to host a dog. He even had a crate (if Sunny needed it), lots of toys, and a comfy spot for Sunny to sleep. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Sunny was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
“Silvia & Roberto took wonderful care of my big baby girl. When we picked her up, it was clear that she had been well taken care of. She ate well and had fun with other dogs to play with. We have booked her again already and are very grateful for the care she gave of our Newfie!!! Thank you!”
“This was my first time leaving Micah with someone. It was great. Micah left with Angelita as if she'd known him forever. I really liked that. Angelita now has another client! Thanks, Angelita.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valley Forge
Hailee was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our fur babies like they were her own. She took notes on their eating schedule, their sleeping and bathroom schedules, and their likes and dislikes. She even informed us when we scheduled an extra day by accident. She edit the booking so we could get refunded and rescheduled us with the correct dates. I highly, highly recommend her! She did an exceptional job!

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.
96% of sitters in Valley Forge 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 Valley Forge 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 Valley Forge.
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 Valley Forge. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 Valley Forge 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.
