“Jessica and Theodore took great care of Norton and he seemed to love all the attention from their four young children. They sent lots of pics and updates and I felt very reassured that he was in good hands.”
“Dana was great! I needed a sitter at the last second and she was able to watch Colbie with no problem. She sent lots of pictures of her during her stay, and treated her just like one of her own dogs. I could tell that Colbie received lots of love and attention and was very happy. She got fresh chicken mixed with her food for dinner every night, and was even allowed to bring her favorite toy home with her. I will definitely be booking with Dana again in the future!”
“Joni did a wonderful job. She watched our cat Tisha for 8 days. I know she was great because when Tisha got home she was happy and healthy. Thank you Joni. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!!”
“Just concluded our first stay with Danielle. More happy with this stay than any other I have booked previously with other sitters through Rover. I got pics, videos, and updates multiple times each day. I could tell the way my girl ran around the house when I got there that she was comfortable with her surroundings and I witnessed her loving to play with Danielle's dogs and sons. Peach looked great and healthy and was very happy when I picked her up.”
“Christy and Daniel saved the day when our other sitters cancelled 3 days before our vacation. They were so gracious and understanding, their farm is absolutely beautiful, and they took great care of our pups, we were a mess dropping them off, we were 15 minutes late because we forgot one of our dog's beds, we also forgot one of their food containers, AND their bowls. Then we got our time to return mixed up and were two hours late picking them up, they were so understanding and kind. We would absolutely use them agaain! Highly recommend!”
“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”
“Loved getting pictures of our dog through the week, and were confident that she was being well cared for and well loved! Will definitely book again. Thanks, Cassandra!”
“Autumn is fabulous!!! She remained in touch with us during our entire trip. She sent pictures and videos regularly. Cocoa couldn’t have been in better hands. Autumn and her family treated Cocoa very well. At pick-up, Cocoa was excited to see us, but she also appeared sad to leave Autumn. We are 100% pleased with Autumn’s care, and we will definitely trust her with Cocoa in the future!!!”
“Janet was wonderful with Luna! She was caring, attentive, and made sure Luna felt comfortable and loved. The pictures she updated me with says it all. Luna looks completely at home and so happy! 🐺❤️ I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend Janet!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own (a Boston terrier/Chihuahua & a Shih tzu/Chihuahua). I also have a cat. They are my babies & a huge part of the family. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes & I love them all. I would love to spoil your pooch while you're away & make them feel like a part of our family as well. I am a stay at home mom so I am home all day to cater to your dog's needs. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 preteen girls so we have plenty of time to give your pups all the love & attention they deserve. We have a big yard (over an acre) that we can walk & play with your pup. We try to follow your care routine as closely as possible.
“Michael was wonderful! We have two huskies, both with different personalities. I was worried about our youngest as she can be the most rambunctious, but Michael has dog training skills and the most patience. They really loved staying with him and it put our hearts at ease because it’s never been like this when boarding at a facility. We hope he will do it again for us!”
About: I have been helping to take care of animals of all kinds since I got my first dog at 5 years old. Now 21, I have over 15 years of animal care experience by helping the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I have my Girl Scout Bronze Award for setting up a pet fair that helped raise awareness and funds for local organizations that benefit animals. I am accustomed to training new pets and ensuring that senior pets get the best care they need. I can walk, feed, play, and do anything you may need to ensure that your pet is well taken care of while you are away. I am currently working part time, which entails that I have a very flexible schedule and am able to make anything work. I am willing to sit at my own residence and yours. I also have experience with house sitting. I am so excited to get to work caring for your furry friends! My schedule is very flexible which means I have plenty of time to spare on making sure your pets are okay and taken care of. I do work mostly in the evenings, only about 2-3 days a week but am never there past 8pm. I am essentially open from morning until evening nearly all day every day. My backyard is fenced off and has two levels ensuring that your pets have plenty of room to run and play! I also have a dog of my own to make sure your pet has someone to play with. My house is very secure and has lots of friendly neighbors with their own pets who would love to play and meet yours. I also live with 3 other people, which means your dog is never left unsupervised for too long.
“The best experience I could have imagined. I was immediately relaxed after meeting Micki and her family. Communication was top-notch and I got sent the most beautiful pictures of my dog having the time of her life. In short, she maybe had a better vacation than I did. I was honestly concerned that she wouldn’t want to come back home with us-but luckily for us, she did. ?”
About: I grew up in the countryside, so I have always been surrounded by animals and I feel really comfortable with them. I have experience taking care of them (bathing, food, medication, specials needs) and giving a lot of love to different members of the family from small birds, rabbits, cats, geese, dogs, goats and horses. I have a lot of patience with pets, I understand their needs and I try to make them feel comfortable and respected. I work from home: Mondays and Fridays, so your pet won’t be alone. During Saturday and Sunday, I do outdoor pet friendly activities (hikes, long walks). I'm a very responsible and trustworthy person. I can assure you that while taking care of your pet, I will follow all your instructions to keep it safe and happy at all times. I also have experience with pets that have feeding problems and require more attention to eat. I like to report with photos and messages to make you feel calm and informed.
“Our 2 year old black lab Morgan has lots of energy, Rebecca and Tank wore her out! The dogs played all weekend and Morgan had a great time! Easy to drop off and pick up at Rebecca's place. Morgan made new friends...”

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.

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 West Alexander 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 West Alexander 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 West Alexander.
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 West Alexander. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 West Alexander 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.
