“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Yuiko is the best! My dog is very anxious little chiwawa She is understanding and takes excellent care of our furry baby when we are long away. She provides updates and pictures, giving us peace of mind knowing our little guy is enjoying his time. I was worry free during the trip because of Yuiko. I highly recommend Yuiko .We are so grateful we found her!!”
“Zuzu had a great stay. She was comfortable and had fun going for walks. Getting the pictures and updates was reassuring and let us know she was doing well. Zuzu loves to stay with Andrew and Uklu and will be back again soon!”
“Cody had a great time with Emelie and her family over thanksgiving weekend. She sent loads of photos, and recognized that’s he’s a “people dog”, not a “dogs dog” and pampered him accordingly! We will definitely use Emelie again if we go away.”
“My dog doesn't like to be away from home, but Rhea makes her feel comfortable and takes excellent care of all her needs, also during the recent heat wave. Sage was happy and in great shape when I returned after a longer trip. While I was away, Rhea kept me up-to-date on how Sage was doing, which is very helpful for peace of mind. I will always ask Rhea when I need help with dog sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Christin was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout the say with how he was doing and you could tell how much she enjoyed being with him even with some of his quirks!”
“Hollie is an excellent dog sitter. This was the second time that we left our Jazzi with her and her dog Jovi for a week. She sent photos each day and I can tell she loves the dogs she sits as much as her own. Hollie is also very flexible and works with your schedule. She takes such great care of my Jazzi and I trust her with my girl.”
“I have used Rover for several years and have had some really good providers. However Juliana, Cooper, and Betty Boop are amazing and my Pup felt right at home. I can honestly say I have found Bubblez new home away from home. I can now travel and not get anxiety leaving my Fur baby. Juliana is warm, caring and loved my Pup as if she were her own. Bubblez did not come home disheveled which made me feel much better. I highly recommend Juliana! ❤️”
“It was such a pleasure leaving our dog overnight with Rachel and her husband. You can tell what dog-lovers they are! Even though it was only for one night, Rachel sent pictures and videos to keep us updated on the goings on of our pup. It set our minds at ease knowing we could enjoy the holiday without worrying. We’ll be sure to use Rachel again!”
“We previously had a bad experience with a rover and swore off using the app ever again. Two years later, and Ryan has restored our faith. He was very communicative and sent photos regularly. And it was a true joy to see his family shower our dog with love. We could enjoy our time away knowing she was in very capable hands.”
“David did a great job watching our dog. He provided us with timely updates as well. I highly recommend David war hing anyone's dog as he clearly has a lot of experience and cares about the dogs he watches.”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Exactly what we were hoping for our two dogs. Rebecca was great at keeping us updated and sending pictures of them. The dogs looked like they had a blast during their stay and we would definitely have Rebecca watch our dogs again and recommend her to others.”
“Jen was fantastic. It was our first time leaving our pup for an extended period of time and Jen made sure to give us an update every day with pictures. She was an excellent communicator before and during our scheduled trip. She was super flexible about our pick up and drop off times since we were on the road and didn't have a firm time, which made us able to travel with ease! Her home is a wonderful home for animals of all kinds and your pup will be well cared for and in for a fun time with her two lovely dogs. We highly recommend Jen and will leave our dog with her again without hesitation.”
“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”
“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“Michell was great. They took great care of our new pup. She was well taken care of. The daily updates with photos were more than helpful to keep us posted. The original meet and greet was helpful and put us at ease. I never used a pet service like Rover. We are planning on using them again and I would recommend them to anyone needing pet services”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villanova
This is the first time boarding our 12 years old dog with Emma for over a week. We visited her first for a meet and greet and I was immediately comfortable. Emma has her own dogs and she has a dog training business. Her communication was very good and she sent pictures during the week. I would not hesitate to use Emma in the future.
George was amazing with my pup. My 5-lb Yorkie is quite anxious, but seemed at ease with George from drop off. I received plenty of pics and updates. My dog was quite relaxed at pickup, and George worked with me as I was a bit early for my pickup window. Would highly recommend - George really does seem like a "dog whisperer". 5 stars!
This was Tyson's second time boarding with Ulke and Andrew and this stay was for 3 weeks. As soon as I pulled up into their driveway, Tyson became very excited. He clearly knew where he was and couldn't wait to get out of the car to see them and their dog, Leo! Ulke and Andrew are both super friendly and incredibly kind. They truly treat Tyson like family, which gives us peace of mind especially during a longer trip. They kept us informed throughout the entire stay with frequent messages and photos. It's such a stress free environment for Tyson, we are so grateful to have found this couple who we trust completely. We highly recommend and will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Villanova on Rover is $36.69 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,332 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Villanova. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Villanova sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Villanova landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
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 Villanova 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 Villanova.
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 Villanova 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.
