“This was my first experience with Rover and Megan and Vitaliy have set the bar high. So kind and welcoming to my 4 month old cavapoo Honey. They truly treated her like their own and were super patient with her since she is so little. I was so nervous to leave her but the pictures and videos and updates they sent gave me huge piece of mind. I’m so grateful to them and will absolutely bring Honey back. ❤️”
“Meagen is your dogs home away from home. We left Charly for the first time with her in February and we have used Meagen several times since. She welcomes your pup at the front door like it is her own. Charly comes back to our home like she never left. When we are away Meagen keeps us updated with pictures and videos . I could not enjoy my time away if Charly wasn’t with Meagen and her family!!!!”
“Enrica and her husband are above and beyond, they are super warm and welcoming! Both meet & greet arrangement and App communications are smooth and swift. They care and treat your pet as their own. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have cared for several dogs over the years. I currently have two small dogs of my own, a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese, and they are both very friendly and comfortable around other dogs. My Yorkie is 8 years old, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy having dogs around and will treat your dog like part of the family while they stay with us 🐶 I will be home with the dogs throughout the day, so they get plenty of attention and regular potty breaks. We already have our own dogs, so caring for dogs is a natural part of our daily routine. I’m available for both daytime daycare and overnight boarding. Our home is in a quiet area with plenty of space between neighbors, which makes it a peaceful place for dogs to relax and feel at home. We keep our home clean, quiet, and comfortable for our dogs and visiting pups. The house is regularly cleaned and disinfected, and we do an extra cleaning before every new stay. Potty pads are changed frequently, and we use air purifiers indoors to help keep the space fresh and odor-free. Our own dogs also receive regular flea and tick prevention. Most importantly, someone is home throughout the day to keep an eye on the dogs and make sure they are safe and comfortable.
“Dolly and her three boys took exceptional care of Parker. She has three boys and a large fencing backyard that allowed him to play amd explore in a safe environment. When we arrived, parker was immediately snatched up by her by one of her two younger sons who promptly began playing with him, pampering him and loving him. Dolly said her sons even “argued” over whose bed he would sleep in. Parker came back a happy camper and made three great buddies along the way. Additionally, Dolly kept constant contact with me and sent pictures over the course of the two days. I would highly recommend this wonderful family to look after your pet whenever you need someone to watch them.”
“Zen had a very nice stay with Tim and his family. She LOVES kids and Tim provided plenty of opportunities for playtime with them and with his 2 small dogs. Drop-off and pickup were super easy. It was a nice bonus to receive a couple pictures of Zen while we were away. We would certainly select Tim again if he is available! 😀”
About: I have experience caring for dogs for family and neighbors for several years. I provide reliable attentive care and will make sure your pet will feel safe and loved while you are away! I have a 4 year old Shiba Inu at home so I’m used to dogs with personality. He might growl at first but has always gotten along with the dogs we’ve hosted. I work from home two days a week so I am free to care for doggies 4-5 days a week. I have two kids in school that are also in sports. So we might be gone for an hour or two but never longer. I provide a safe and caring home for your pet while you are away. I will provide pictures and updates of our walks and playtime.
“As always, Dani and Anthony took great care of Hero while I was away. Dani sent me a picture of Hero lying in a doggy bed and he looked so happy. Dani and Anthony are my “go to“ Rover family.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“Chonlada and her family are the absolute best dog caretakers!! Our dog, Duddles, had such a great time with them. Not only did they send regular photo and video updates, but they had fun play-time with her, gave her lots of snuggles, and regular treat breaks. Plus, their backyard is huge, fenced-in, and gorgeous, so lots of room for outdoor playtime! We could not recommend them more!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Sruthi and Abha were wonderful with our senior dog! They were very attentive to her and were fantastic about giving us updates! We would definitely book with them again!”
“Alexandra is AMAZING! She has a very clean home and fenced in outdoor space for dogs to run and play! She accommodated our changing plans by taking Remmy a day early. She was so easy & kind to work with and I will book her every time we use Rover! She communicated daily and sent several pictures during Remmy’s stay! I had 100% peace of mind while I was away that my dog was extremely well cared for and loved!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
About: Through years of experience handling various breeds and temperaments, I approach each furry companion with compassion and respect. Creating a safe and nurturing environment entrusted to my care. I currently work from home and often have more than enough time. Activities such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship can ensure the well-being and happiness of our furry companions. I do not care for pets often anymore due to the passing of my longtime pup at 13 years old. I want to create a happy, healthy, and safe space for a short time to help others.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
We had a good experience with these pet caregivers, Alyssa & Josh H. We boarded our 2.5-year-old English Springer Spaniel for 6 nights in their home. Our dog was cared for like a member of their family. There was open communication and responses to each of our text messages with photos provided of our dog to put us at ease. When we picked up our dog, she was just as we had left her; well-mannered and stable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Westwood 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 Westwood.
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 Westwood 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.
