“Again, as always, Karen and Donald did a wonderful job with my Jax. They got him eating his normal food and off all his begging for treats! Jax always comes home happy and healthy. I don’t know what I would do without Karen and Donald to board my furbaby!”

About: My caring personality along with my strong sense of responsibility, and attention to routines help pets feel secure while giving owners complete peace of mind. I'm flexible and dependable. My schedule allows availability for walks, feeding, day visits, exercise, companionship, overnight care; ensuring that your pets feel safe and loved. I left NYC after 25 years to care for my elderly mother who lived to be almost 95 years old. I will care for your pet with the love respect and care I gave her.

“Very caring and very professional. I knew when I met her that my dog was in good hands. He’s never been away overnight with someone else. He handled it well because it’s obvious she loves animals and knows how to take care of them. Highly recommend.”

About: I don't have much experience with dog care. My family briefly had a dog or two when we lived in Trinidad and Tobago for about 2 years. And my oldest brother briefly lived with a Husky. I've been surrounded by cats most of my life since I was about 15 years old and now I'm 42 years old. I plan on being the sole pet caregiver in my household for your pet(s) and I will treat your pet or dog like an extended part of the family. Whatever rules you wish for me to follow with your pet or dog I will follow and respect them. I have a deep compassion for animals and will treat your pet or dog with love and care. I'm currently a part-time home health aide or caregiver for my Autistic 14 year old son which takes place at our home. I have a family of 5 including three kids and I'm looking for a way to make extra income. We live with 4 cats who spend most of their time outdoors. We have a fenced up yard with plenty of room for your pet(s) to roam around in and play.

About: I have fostered many dogs for rescues, behavioral ones as well. I never say no to a dog in need, they each have different personalities and I don't have expectations. I will provide physical activity, play and mental stimulation. I will observe animals for signs of illness, injury, or behavioral changes, and administer prescribed medications. I will treat each dog like they are my own. I am currently not working at this time, therefore I will give your furbaby all my attention. I will maintain their physical and emotional well being. Excercise and play with them. I have a huge fenced in yard, a few of my dogs that could play with your dog if they are dog friendly. Provide fresh water, treats and feed them on schedule. I have toys to help stimulate them. I provide kennels when they need time to decompress with beds.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra patience and attention. I always make sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment and make sure pets are always supervised, exercised, and treated with patience and kindness.

“We could not say enough about Christine. She was so calm and easy to work with. Our Bella is a little anxious and hyper. Christine handled her beautifully and sent us great pics (at our request) of Bella with her other dogs. Bella looked so happy in the picture she sent. Christine responds super quickly when you text and overall we felt extremely comfortable that our Bella was in the right hands. She totally 'gets' dogs. I would recommend her (and will) to all our friends that are dog parents.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - West Nicholson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Nicholson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 West Nicholson 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 Nicholson 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 Nicholson.

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 Nicholson. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 Nicholson 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.
