“My two doodles had a wonderful time at Beth’s house. They got along great with her dog. She sent pictures of them running around having a good time. It made me feel good seeing them happy. Her house is very clean and she has a really nice fenced in backyard. My dogs also like the doggie door that they don’t have at home. I will definitely be asking her to watch them again.”

About: I'm Dana! I've cared for and owned dogs for the last 15 years. I currently own a Corgi (Jay), he's 10 months old. I have owned an English Mastiff (Smalls) and Cane Corso (Rex) in my adult years. I'm able to play, feed, walk, run with your dog! Give me the instructions and allow me to do the rest. I am currently building a clientele for pet sitting. I am transitioning from office work to a new path. I have a flexible schedule and the pets with align with my daily routines smoothly. I have a basement apartment with an outside in and out entrance to the back yard where your pet may use the restroom, roam on a tied line and a quiet residential neighborhood. I have two sons, 18 and 9, who are big time animal lovers. Your pet will get good play time in with a generous amount of hands on care. Crates are recommended for their own alone time and rest needed. I have a 10 month old Corgi as well, he is adventurous, loves the wooded trails we walk and is always excited when a "friend" comes over.

“Mary and Dana are absolutely amazing! They have been watching our dog, Wynnie, for quite a while now and truly treat her like family. Wynnie loves staying with them, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such loving hands while we’re away. Mary is wonderful about sending us updates, which we really appreciate, and they always go above and beyond with her care—brushing her daily, taking her on plenty of walks, and giving her all the love and attention she needs. We are extremely grateful for the kindness and dedication they show Wynnie and honestly don’t know what we would do without them. Highly, highly recommend!”

“she was great! Took our dog on 2 walks a day(which he really needs) and updated us on his lack of eating from being in new environment. Jenn cooked him up a meal that he gobbled up. She works full time at home, so she is always there. Has a good size yard with a dog run on a overhead wire (which my dog needs as he will take off after any critter)”

“Benjamin and Elizabeth kept me updated with pictures and some details. My pup is older (adult mid-sized, 10), has seizures, and wasn’t feeling well - they handled it with great care. They picked up and dropped her off, making the transition for my pup easier. I’d definitely recommend them.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Waterford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Waterford is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $49 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 60 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Waterford 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 Waterford home-away-from-home, 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 Waterford.

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 Waterford 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 , 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 .

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.
