“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“Anna is fabulous. My guy is a little stand offish with me people yet Anna won him over in no time at all. Provided cuddles, lots of play time and he even made some new friends. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough!”
“Adriana did a great job taking care of our two dogs for two weeks. She sent pictures multiple times per day, took the dogs for walks, and was very quick to respond to messages on Rover. Over Easter, she even set up a holiday-themed photo shoot with the dogs. We were very impressed. Her home is very clean and well taken care of. It’s set up like a professional doggy daycare, with multiple gated areas, a fully fenced backyard, an astro-turfed outdoor area, and multiple levels of locked gates outside for security. It’s the perfect setup.”
“Amazing! I felt so confident and secure when my pups were with Amber. I could feel she genuinely enjoyed taking care of them and they seemed happy! I was worried my dogs would not want to come home.”
“Glenn was very accommodating and friendly. My dogs were happy to see us, but they seemed happy that they stayed. Glenn followed my directions, asked questions, and sent pictures. I will definitely use him again.”
“Cheyenne was great with communication and Scout loved her and her husband. We ran in to a little issue and we were able to work everything out and I’m glad that it all managed to work out! I appreciate Cheyenne and her ability to be flexible.”
“Laura was a phenomenal pet sitter for my dog! He's usually an anxious wreck after coming back from boarding at kennels but he was so calm and relaxed when he was returned to me from Laura! I will definitely be using her again, she's fantastic!”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“I was very nervous to leave my new puppy with a sitter for the first time, but they made it a seamless and stress free process. They are so kind and welcoming and sent so many updates and pictures! 11/10! Thank you again!”
“Strider was in the best care possible! The amount of photos I received gave me peace of mind and he always looked content in the home. Karen and Donald really pay attention to the animals and their needs :) 10/10 would recommend and use again myself!”
“Charlie had two great weeks with Jack and Joanne! He lives it at their farm and is comforting to know they live him back. Thanks again! See you again in September.”
“As always Jasper loves to be at Debbie’s when we go away. He gets very excited when we turn onto her driveway! She is great and takes very good care of him. Jasper loves his other doggie friends that he gets to play with while he is there. There’s even a picture of him “spooning” with a friend while taking a nap! Adorable! I would highly recommend Debbie to watch your dog!”
“Heaven was amazing with my Zahari girl! She sent pictures daily and put me at ease while I was away! My girl was smiling from ear to ear. I knew she had a great time and that makes my heart happy! I would definitely recommend Heaven to watch your furry kids! Thank you again! 💛”
“Sarah always goes above and beyond when caring for your fur baby. This was my second time booking her and certainly won't be the last. I highly encourage all others to do the same!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Jazzy he has such anxiety when I leave him somewhere but with the daily reports and pictures from Jennifer he did fantastic for the days that I left him in her care I would definitely hire her to take Jazzy in her home again”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Jennifer and Jon were fantastic!! Our 8 month old King Charles Spaniel was taken care of and treated like family. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend and were kept updated about Maisy’s activities. It was wonderful to go away for the weekend and have no worries that our puppy was in great hands. We will definitely have our precious puppy stay with them again!! We give Jennifer and Jon our highest recommendation without reservation!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wilkes-Barre
We have another trip early next year & hope to use Anna again! Our Baby Girl Mae was clearly Not as angry at us as when she was boarded at her vet, who we love, but the home with other dog type environment is so much more like normal life for us all I think. This was more like a Doggy Vacation for her where she met new friends, both humans & dogs, & had minimal adjustments in daily life which we value for our almost 14 year old Lab. A Great Experience Overall! Thank You Anna!
Fatima was amazing with my dog! She went above and beyond to make my pup comfortable. She sent texts pictures and videos to show me how my dog was doing. Very nice lady. Would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone. An outstanding experience all the way around.
Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for.

Our dog Ginger stayed with Sarah for the weekend when we had a family wedding that brought us to the area. Sarah was super quick to respond to all communication which was really nice and made me comfortable. She sent updates, photos and was flexible with timing adjustments. More significantly, Ginger went right up to Sarah and felt relaxed and comfortable —she walked inside without pining for me. Even when I arrived to pick up Ginger, she must have enjoyed her stay as she didn’t rush right back to me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wilkes-Barre on Rover is $47.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 133 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wilkes-Barre. 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.
100% of Wilkes-Barre 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 Wilkes-Barre 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 Wilkes-Barre 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 Wilkes-Barre.
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 Wilkes-Barre 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.
